Scenario: I’m doing a tarot reading for a client and I turn over a card—and it’s blank! There’s nothing on it! A little white oblong of cardboard is staring at me. Worst nightmare, right?
Okay, so maybe you don’t read tarot cards, but there are times in everyone’s life when we draw a complete blank. Think of the poor contestants on Jeopardy! You can see it in their eyes—they know the answer; it’s right on the tip of their tongue—but time runs out before they remember the capital of Idaho.
The first thing we generally do when we draw a blank is the last thing we should do: panic. We think, “What am I doing wrong?”
The challenge is to look at the blank wall (or blank card) and see what forms there. Basically, look at the situation from a different angle.
When the Art Deco hotels were built on Miami’s South Beach, they were painted white to allow features like “eyebrows” over the windows cast shadows to bring out the beauty of the architecture. Sometimes, therefore, a blank wall serves a purpose. It is the play of light and shadow that paints the complete picture.
The blank wall—the blank card or canvas—is our challenge. We have to let our imagination see beyond its whiteness; beyond its apparent lack of design. Stare at it for a moment. What does your imagination conjure? If you could put anything on that blank card/wall/canvas, what would it be?
And that’s the trick—the magic trick. If you’re trying to manifest something in your life, you’ve got to put what you want on that blank card or canvas or wall. If you’re trying to find the solution to a puzzle (a challenge), you need to allow your imagination (your intuition) show you what you need to know.
One lesson I learned when doing readings (tarot, channeling, whatever) was this: after I center myself and put myself in “reader mode”, I take a deep breath, hold it for a moment, and let it out slowly. The first words out of my mouth are, “What you need to know right now is...” and let the message flow without conscious thought.
Let The Big U speak through you. Let The Big U speak to you. You might be surprised to find that the blank wall/card/canvas isn’t quite as blank as you thought.
