Lauren (00:00):
It's time to pull a
tarot card.
It's Friday, September 12th.
I hope this message gives youall the inspiration you need for
the weekend and beyond.
Frank (00:08):
Another great American
week.
This week came with a lot ofodd feelings.
Not the change we want to seein the world.
We want to see change, but notlike that.
Lauren (00:18):
No.
Frank (00:19):
And if that brought up
conflicting feelings with you,
like it did with me.
You want to be supportive, youwant to fill the world with love
and light, but at the same time, I felt like there was some
reverence happening for someonewho was very divisive and was
the opposite of the thing thatwe need right now.
There's a dynamic there that'shard to balance in yourself.
We really need to protect whatwe allow into our lives and,
(00:42):
whether that be dangerousrhetoric, horrible violence,
whatever it might be, if you arelogging in and you find
yourself drained by what you'rereading or experiencing, I think
it's okay to like back up.
Lauren (00:54):
We're not meant to
experience so much information
so immediately and rapidly.
The simultaneous like influx ofbad news information, lots of
opinions, and I feel like we'rekind of all just collectively
contributing to it.
We don't know where to put ouremotions and our feelings and we
(01:17):
just spill them out all oversocial media.
Frank (01:21):
I deleted TikTok this
week.
I saw too much shit that I didnot want to see.
When you are affected by thatkind of stuff in a way that,
like it's one thing to hearabout, it's another thing to
have a front row seat, right,yeah, you're not supposed to do
that.
Lauren (01:32):
Yeah.
Frank (01:33):
That's not a normal thing
.
That's not a good thing.
It kind of forces you to faceenvironments.
We want to be the people whohelp bridge, like, a new way of
thinking, a new way of life, anew way of spirituality, a new
(01:54):
way of like interacting with theworld.
Some people out there are thereto fight.
It might be helpful for you toknow if you're a builder or a
destroyer.
You know, are you out therejust in opposition to something,
or are you here buildingsomething new and a new way of
being?
And there's no right way?
Both are okay, but know who youare, because if you're trying
(02:14):
to be the thing that you're not,you're going to you're going to
jack yourself up real bad.
Lauren (02:18):
And your, your energy is
going to feel out of alignment,
like if I just started takingup arguments with everybody.
I would feel like who am I?
Frank (02:27):
I'm not saying to not
engage in discourse and like
don't vote.
I'm saying, for sure, vote.
But, like you know, choose yourcheck-ins.
Choose your check-ins wisely,in a way that works for you and
protects your energy and whatyou're about and what you're
building.
Leave the rest to someone else.
We live in a society.
You're not supposed to be allthings all the time.
Lauren (02:46):
Yeah.
Frank (02:46):
I'm done personally with
this bullshit of feeling the
need to have my thumb on thepulse of every violent thing
that happens in the world,because if you spend too much
time in that space, that becomesyour entire reality.
Lauren (03:00):
Yeah.
Frank (03:00):
We can't do that.
Lauren (03:01):
Then your belief is that
the world is a violent,
dangerous, unsafe place.
Frank (03:05):
And there's a lot of good
that's happening too.
So hey, tarot.
Lauren (03:10):
Hi.
So here we are to give a littlealternative to the negativity.
You know it's so cheesy to saybe the change you wish to see in
the world.
Jeez, you know it feels sooverused that, like you, almost
don't even hear its meaning.
But one person can be a lightthat shines out in the darkness
(03:35):
and shines onto other people.
Again, your healing heals otherpeople.
Frank (03:40):
We're here to pull a
tarot card that is divinely
inspired and just try to help us, like navigate how to shift our
focus from what we perceive aschaos to the actual good that is
in the world that we want to bea part of we're going to ask
our collective spirit guides togive us some guidance in the
meantime, I'll lauren's shuff,shuff shuffling.
(04:02):
This is a neon writer tarotdeck.
I don't remember where we gotit, it's so pretty, I'll
Lauren's shuff, shuff shuffling.
Lauren (04:07):

tarot deck.
Frank (04:08):

Lauren (04:10):
Every day she's
shuffling.
Frank (04:12):
Can you shuffle?
Lauren (04:12):
Like the actual dance.
Frank (04:14):
Yeah, I don't think.
So I would pay at least $10 tosee you attempt it, can you
shuffle?
It's very jiggly when I do.
What do we got?
Lauren (04:24):
All right, we've got the
reverse four of wands.
Frank (04:28):
Is there a better card
for what we were talking about?
You need to remember tocelebrate the good things in
your life.
Yeah, it's not all doom andgloom guys, it's not.
If you focus on that primarily,though, your world becomes doom
and gloom.
You only have 24 hours in theday.
Are you going to spend some ofit enjoying your life?
You are in charge of yourimmediate reality, Not saying
(04:49):
that other things not happen outthere, and not saying that you
shouldn't know about it.
You should, but don't spendyour entire life in that space.
Lauren (04:55):
And also, as Elliot
Oracle, sweet Elliot would say
don't be self-conscious ornervous to be yourself when
there's something that feels soout of your control.
The one thing that you cancontrol is yourself, how you
respond, how you live your life,how you affect others in a
(05:15):
positive way.
Frank (05:16):
So being there for your
folks and community building.
Lauren (05:20):

love you guys.
Frank (05:22):
Love you.
