Yet, your survival mechanism hasn’t changed much. Your brain still scans your environment looking for potential threats.
“I know many writers who actually use the Tarot as a way of inspiring ideas and possible plots. Try it yourself for fun. Tarot packs aren't usually expensive and most have descriptions about how they may be best interpreted.”

“Much of what was said did not matter, and that much of what mattered could not be said.”

“To me, the urge to be published is equivalent to the first quarter of the hero's journey, where normal life seems not quite enough. There's a quest that needs undertaking, and the wannabe writer makes a courageous decision to fight against the odds. The persistent keep going, even when criticism, self-doubt, rejection and even resentment from those around them is rampant. Success, then, comes as a metaphorical death of the old self so that a new life may begin as a professional author.”

“At their most basic level, great fictional stories are about transformation - usually a change from one perspective to another. The change may be slight or massive, subtle or profound.”

“The next five cards, The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, The Hermit, and The Wheel of Fortune, show how the heroic fool must navigate various life lessons: love, ambition, courage, reflection and the mysteries of fate. We're tested in these areas because they enable our growth. We must understand that it is in the nature of the world to present us with a series of lessons on the basics of living. The Lovers represent the call of duty over pleasure. The Chariot represents our goals and whether we have the tenacity to identify and pursue them. Strength: tact and diplomacy, taming the beast. The Hermit shows us that introspection is important too - and the ability to stand alone, independent of thought and action. The Wheel of Fortune reminds us that nothing is guaranteed. There's always an element of chance that can aid or thwart us.”
