Although the uninitiated usually see the Tarot and the I Ching being used for fortune telling, that is not their primary purpose. Both of these tools are esoteric encyclopedias that refer to the many facets of the human condition. Personal use of either of them can tell you a lot about yourself. Humans go through many changes in their lives, some of which are very difficult to understand. The Tarot and the I Ching can shed some light and remove some confusion.

I'm not an expert in either of them. I've read a bit about the Tarot and I've been using the I Ching for decision making for more than 40 years. When you arrive at a point in your life where the path forward is unclear, the I Ching can be used to look at many possibilities until you find one that "clicks" with your current situation. From there, the book can tell you different ways of dealing with that situation.

Philip K. Dick, one of my favorite authors, wrote a whole novel using the I Ching, The Man in the High Castle. At every decision point in the story, Dick would throw the I Ching and use the results to suggest where the story would go from there.

The vast majority of tarot card readers are just like that psyching douchebag on TV.
They do cold-reading. they pick up on information about the person getting a reading based on their apparel, their mannerisms, what they say, their body language, etc.

I'm not going to say there aren't people with true psychic ability. I simply don't know.
But most people claiming to be psychic are full of shit and are basically con artists.

Cockroaches are going to take over the world. They are not affected by radiation, and when humans kill themselves and eveerything around them, the cockroach lord will flourish!

Even that rediculous claim has evedince supporting it, and he has good reason to beleave in the illuminati, since they even have there own website. (which nobody can enter, I've tried to, not even the best hacker in the world can get in.) The illuminati exists, and yes they rule the world, but there are no microchips that controll us, no shit like that. They are basically the supreme government, the leaders of the UN, and are not seen, since they use representitives. They are mainly located as "advisors" of presidents. They are not all powerfull, superhuman beings like some conspiracy theorists beleave. They are just people who manipulate sorces to obtain wealth. They don't care what happens to the rest of humanity, good or bad. It is well possible that the illuminati isn't even the supreme rulers of this world, but just another middleman behind the true leader, who possibly might be the antichrist.

As I said in my first post in this thread - New World Order theories can be quite interesting and intellectually stimulating, it's when people actually start believing in them that I turn the cynicism on.

Seriously, what kind of logic do you ascribe to that enables you to believe something which there is not a shred of evidence to support? To quote a rep of Popular Mechanics magazine: "In the world of paranoid conspiracy theories - there are no coincidences."

Show me even a bit of evidence that isn't entirely circumstantial and then maybe I won't dismiss you as completely illogical and irrational.

Oh wait, isn't that the point? The Illuminati in conjunction with the Omega Agency intentionally doesn't leave evidence of their doings for the purpose of using the "oh-so-human" technique of reverse psychology in order to fool the masses of sheep?? Oh man, you people crack me up.

Of course his powers don't work like that. He can only use his powers for good in order to defeat the forces of evil.

I think reading this thread about the Illuminati has made me dumber.
