American election H. Clinton vs. D. Trump tarotator.com 2016

The American presidential election it’s not only about America, but it will influence the whole world both politically and economically in the following years.
This Tarot reading it’s about the two options and how Americana – and the world – will look under the leading of Hillary Clinton, respectively of Donald Trump.
Humans tend to choose with them hears, not their minds.
We are always very emotionally involved and unable to think straight.
Emotionally probably I would vote for Hillary. Mentally I’m still trying to figure out how America came to this point where they have to choose between these two… Read more American election: H. Clinton vs. D. Trump

To know the future

In order to know the future it is necessary first to know the present, as well as to know the past.

In order to know the future it is necessary first to know the present, as well as to know the past.
“In order to know the future it is necessary first to know the present in all its details, as well as to know the past. Today is what it is because yesterday was what it was.
And if today is like yesterday, tomorrow will be like today. If you want tomorrow to be different, you must make today different. If today is simply a consequence of yesterday, tomorrow will be a consequence of today in exactly the same way. And if one has studied thoroughly what happened yesterday, the day before yesterday, a week ago, a year, ten years ago, one can say unmistakably what will and what will not happen tomorrow.” (Gurdjieff)

The difference between objective art and subjective art
“The difference between objective art and subjective art is that in objective art the artist really does ‘create,’ that is, he makes what he intended, he puts into his work whatever ideas and feelings he wants to put into it. Read more The difference between objective art and subjective art

Knowledge and Understanding

Knowledge is one thing, understanding is another thing

Knowledge is one thing, understanding is another thing
“Knowledge is one thing, understanding is another thing.
People often confuse these concepts and do not clearly grasp what is the difference between them.
Knowledge by itself does not give understanding. Nor is understanding increased by an increase of knowledge alone. Understanding depends upon the relation of knowledge to being. Understanding is the resultant of knowledge and being. And knowledge and being must not diverge too far, otherwise understanding will prove to be far removed from either.

Man’s name is legion

Man's name is legion

Man's name is legion
“Man such as we know him, the ‘man-machine,’ the man who cannot ‘do,’ and with whom and through whom everything ‘happens,’ cannot have a permanent and single I. His I changes as quickly as his thoughts, feelings, and moods, and he makes a profound mistake in considering himself always one and the same person; in reality he is always a different person, not the one he was a moment ago.

Evolution is the result of conscious struggle

Evolution is the result of conscious struggle

Evolution is the result of conscious struggle
“Evolution is the result of conscious struggle. Nature does not need this evolution; it does not want it and struggles against it. Evolution can be necessary only to man himself when he realizes his position, realizes the possibility of changing this position, realizes that he has powers that he does not use, riches that he does not see. And, in the sense of gaining possession of these powers and riches, evolution is possible. But if all men, or most of them, realized this and desired to obtain what belongs to them by right of birth, evolution would again become impossible. What is possible for individual man is impossible for the masses.” (Gurdjieff)

The Upward Spiral

The Upward Spiral

The Upward Spiral
Life – and for that matter evolution – is an upward spiral.
But if we loose perspective, the spiral will be reduced to a circle and we’ll be trapped in a loop of a false reality called “living in the now”.
Today is the result of yesterday and tomorrow will be result from today.
Trapped “in the now”, living exclusively the present, you will repeat the same day each and every day like in a matrix.
Do you wanna live in a circle or spiral?
Do you wanna be a slave or your own master?
You wanna do your life or you wait that life happens to you?

The trap of “living in the now”

Living in the now

Living in the now “What does it mean to live fully in the present moment? It means that your awareness is completely centered on the here and now. You are not worrying about the future or thinking about the past. When you live in the present, you are living where life is happening. The past and future are illusions, they don’t exist.”
This is a theory, an approach to solve some personal issues such as anxiety, recommended by several modern day gurus.
“Living in the now”, unfortunately, it’s not a solution, but a trap.
Re-living the same day everyday it’s the best way to avoid reality and annihilate you’re own future. Read more The trap of “living in the now”
