In the following tutorials, we will cover several tools which extend the medium's abilities, and how and why they do so. Recommended :: opening the inner eye

Divination allows us to obtain information or guidance from higher consciousness. Through this method, we can safely and effectively converse with God, our higher self, angels and guides, or other entities of our choice. It is a skill available to all, and can be performed in many different ways. Higher selves of other beings can also be contacted this way, such entities express love and are often available for guidance, it is part of their purpose. The main "ingredient" of divination is randomness.

It doesn't matter which vector is used to support divination, it only is a vector. The more randomness to the act, the more room for spirits to manifest by changing the outcome. The more creativity to the act, the more space for talent to ascertain precise information. Divination was used millenniums ago, for example to elaborate a therapeutic system acknowledged by the World Health Organization, acupuncture.

The basic idea here is : divination always is a creative act. Even better : it always is a co-creative act. In many forms, it consists of using an entity (such as God, or Universe, or higher self, etc.) as a relay, asking that particular spirit/consciousness to perform investigations and return feedback to us. Simply try this : think about a person you love, open up your inner eye (silence your mind), and draw something. You will probably get results, symbols, locations, elements tied to the person you were thinking about.

On randomness and the divine

Strangely, it is through maths that I observed the magick of Tarot. I got started using it because of my tantra mentor. He was fond of it and I wanted to check it too in order to gather archeological/historical data. But there was another reason. I've always wondered about randomness, does it truly exist, or is everything causal? Tarot was a great tool to explore that. It allowed me to test how many times the advice I received would be coherent, helpful. And it allowed me to question whether everything was causes leading to effects, or if our reality was more flexible than a domino play.

As It turns out the answer is : "both".

Statistically, from the perspective of maths and information science, randomness is too complex a phenomenon to be summed up. The part of interest to us here is that - truly random events are extremely rare. It is difficult to create a system to generate random number sequences. Science as we know it exists on the premise that most events are possible to control or comprehend, after all.

Then, we may ask, is there even a single event, in nature, which clearly exposes absolute randomness? The answer is yes - there are events we cannot predict, at quantum level. But the exact opposite also exists : natural sequences supposed to display a certain degree of randomness, which violate laws of statistics and demonstrate an unexpected order within an otherwise "chaotic" system. And with this, science confirms another ancient mystical truth : "chaos" or randomness contains creative potential, and a hidden order within itself.

And I found out that Tarot, typically, does not follow the statistical maths of randomness. It does not give a damn, as opposed to poker for example, about how many times it is "allowed" to feed you an answer repeatedly. Tarot delivers mostly based on who is asking, and how they are asking.

Unlike automats, slot machines, unlike gambling or gaming devices, tarot gives accurate answers consistently - you may ask the same question 100 times, and 80 percent of the time the result will be the same guidelines, same feedback, same cards. One has to test this in order to completely verify it for themselves (due to the amount of data to collect), and Princeton University is currently investigating the phenomenon of consciousness influencing randomness with the "Global Consciousness Project". Clearly, science now wonders if there is a consciousness behind randomness, divination will show you there is - there are many, even.
