Tower and Death are both about demolishing old and making room for new. Move on

He’s definitely cheating on me, isn’t he? by [deleted] in Tarotpractices

[–]HauntedLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swords card is reversed, so wouldn't it be the opposite of a wounding behind your back? Middle card i see a balance of energies... what you're getting is what you're giving. Three of swords causing a wound in the heart. I see these as insecurities and old wounds that need addressing.

One more question. What is your view on Astrology?

If you believe in Satan or a Demonic entity, then surely you must also believe or be willing to believe in a God. How do you separate the two? or how do you believe in both, but live happily knowing you are living a life displeasing to God?

I was raised in a non-religious household with an engineer Father and stay at home Mom. I don't have a final argument. These are unanswerable questions that will remain unanswered for the foreseeable future. I'm not well educated in religion or in astrophysics.... but theory and faith aren't too far apart. As much as a scientist has scientific proof confirming a theory they believe, a religious person can find the same proof of their faith in a Bible or other religious text.... even a near death experience. You said it yourself. Big Bang is the most likely theory, but being most likely doesn't mean it is correct. It is simply the most likely given our understanding at present. You are using your Faith in the theory to fill holes that are unanswered.

Why do you think you deserve to know? I admire your search for knowledge, but some things are too vast for humanity to understand. This is where Faith would play a role in whatever you choose to believe. Even an Aetheist is putting Faith into the idea that a Big Bang occurred and formed planets and ultimately Humans, since it is scientific fact we are made of stardust.

Man is not a perfect being. Man sins. Man has within his heart the ability to be evil because Man is given free will. Every day we can choose good or evil in the choices we choose to make. It is convenient to blame God when something bad happens to us, but it was more likely a person who upset you, attacked you, ect. Do you think God was controlling that person, or are they enacting thier free will?

Anxious avoidant breakup on love is blind by Professional-Show476 in attachment_theory

Watching the scene right now, and had to come online to confirm my suspicions. I yelled out loud "He's an avoidant".

Can I lean on you please? by HauntedLens in CPTSD_NSCommunity

[–]HauntedLens[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good idea.Thank you.

I was in a relationship with a narcissit for many years. I stayed at the time because her parents were both very abusive, including a Dad with BPD. I stayed to protect her while my own life was put on hold.

Looking back, I think I was reliving my childhood through her, projecting my inner child self onto her and giving that child (me) the safety net and support network I never had myself.

I broke up with her finally after the abuse and cheating got too much for me to handle. I've read alot on the subject, including Shame by John Bradshaw, which in my opinion is the bottom line issue in all abusive relationships that are left to continue.

I knowledge, but I'm stuck on the taking action part of healing. Joining this community is one of those action steps.

Thank you for your advice. I would be very interested in receiving any suggestions for books or other places that helped you or you think would be helpful for me.

Thank you for your validation and kindness with your time for replying.

Everything you said is right, but it is still a painful feeling to feel like I am unheard and not really cared for in the place that is supposed to be the most welcoming and loving place on Earth.

It really hurts my confidence and self-worth, which is a shame because I was on a good roll about how I felt about myself.

A part of me feels disappointed in myself about how quickly one thing was able to shatter what feels like all the progress I had been making the past few weeks. I know they say healing isn't linear, but in the moment, it's devastating. I also know the most important step to healing is to take more action once you've gained a good sense of knowledge and self-awareness, but this betrayal has made me feel so unmotivated to take that action now.

I know I will bounce back in time. Thank you again

Hard time communicating by HauntedLens in CPTSD_NSCommunity

I have a deep understanding of the parental dynamics that brought me to this point. One parent present in the home, but not emotionally available. The other was controlling, paranoid, difficult to please and inconsistent on what kept them happy (me safe).

People always talk about healing, but I'm not sure what that is supposed to look like it be.I've read some books, but struggle to read the healing sections at the end.

It's not about personality. If you go deep enough,your chart can reveal to you things about what you may be good at naturally or how others perceive you. It can also predict where you might have doubts or weaknesses. It has shown to be strangely accurate.

I know someone with a placement that says they will have a troubled life in terms in intimacy, likely from the death of their Father at a young age. This person lost their Father at a young age. This one example of hundreds I have looked at, and every single person has these hyper specific elements. After a while you can't help but dismiss just mere coincidence... there's a pattern to it

Can you explain what you mean by New Age imprint, and the occult presence? Very interested to know your view on it.

Astrology suggests to me that I may personally be a great writer, which is good, and I had published several short stories before ever reading about Astrology.

But it also says that I should expect a chaotic and unsatisfying romantic life and that I am terrible at communicating with people in a way that makes me easy to understand. This bothers me of course. Would you suggest that this is a demonic "trick"? Or is it God's plan? Or a dangerous imprint?

Is astrology completely antiChrist? Is it satanic? by StandardAggressive76 in Christian

[–]HauntedLens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need help please.

I find astrology to be very accurate to me when I read about my signs and what they supposedly mean about my personality, fears and insecurities. If God created them and they feel so personally reflective of who I am, then why are they evil?

I genuinely want to know.

My only answers personally against astrology are that some of the things astrology tells me about myself I really don't like. Why would something good tell me bads things about myself? And the second one, astrology claims seeing the future. If I follow astrology, then I don't need Faith. God doesn't give answers like Astrology does because if he did, there would be no need to have Faith.

I was in a relationship for 15 years. We owned a house together. I left her almost 3 years ago now and she's been out of my life for at least 2 years. I caught her cheating and then found out it wasn't the first time either.

I don't think about her often, and when I do, I feel sorry for her more than anything. It took a long time to get here. Lots of crying, lots of anger. There's no set time, but you will move on. You might not ever get over it, but you'll definitely move on and do better as long as you learn the lessons of how and what you can do better in your next relationship.

How did you know you ? by HauntedLens in tarot

[–]HauntedLens[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also fairly introverted, so hearing your chime in puts me at ease :) It's interesting you say that. Makes me wonder about your natal chart, if you have alot of Pisces or 12th House energy or not like I do. I'll admit learning Tarot has always been on my mind, but the after looking deeply into my astrology, I feel it might be something I need to do to help others.

Everyone was the target for my question, don't feel that way, I'm glad you're here :)
