Loneliness, Solitude, and Transcendence | A Tarot Meditation

I use tarot cards, especially the 5 of Cups and the 4 of Cups, to explore the themes of loneliness, solitude, and transcendence.
There's a great tarot playlist, where each card in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck gets a separate video, here:

If you prefer text, this is also a great resource:

Here's an introduction to the Wild Unknown Archetypes deck, which I also used in this meditation:

Glory hallelujah ! He's back! Couple of things... Remember abandonment to a human infant - the most vulnerable and dependent being in the universe - is a death sentence. The worst part is, babies know that. Their stomachs tell them. And we will do anything we can to secure our lives. That's where aiming to please comes from. It's called "The Narcissistic Defense". Which apparently you're too good for because you've kept people waiting for so long 🤣 In terms of loneliness... There's a lot of talk of a loneliness pandemic. If you look at the stats, there are several unprecedented trends going on.

This is a great reminder. Dependence and abandonment and vulnerability are felt in the belly. 😳 So visceral. Thank you.

According to what I said above. Loneliness is the anticipation of death. You're on the right track! I've been trying to confront this lately. Because, yeah, I feel it too. Really hard.
