Petr Krylov - Tarot Magic

adjust your behavior, image, and daily routine to make them match the card as close as possible. The better you do the part, the better the outcomes. If you don’t do that, the PM just won’t work out on its own. It’s like a horoscope or a city map that tells you day after day what to do to get from one part of the city to another.

c. Throughout the day, search forentities and processes that correspond to the card you’re playing. That way, you’ll find reflections of yourself in the form of the card. This will result in the accumulation of the power described by Castaneda. The power can be thought of as a force of inertia: the more attention you catch in playing the card and the more things you find that match the card, the heavier the train that will take you down a new track in your destiny.

d. You may discover that in ordinary life, you play the part of the same Tarot suit or even card almost all the time. That’s what prevents you from attaining your goal. A car that invariably drives straight or turns right will get nowhere. When using the PM, keep an eye on yourself and go beyond the pattern of your regular part, playing the parts of PM cards in all kinds of possible and impossible ways.

e. But the most important thing, I think, is to think about the essence of the card as you play it and observe it in real life. Quite often, this gives you dozens of microinsights that come little by little to pull your outlook from its sticking point. Failing that, the truths you’ve learned in your life may stick with you for good with no change in sight.

f. When you go a step a day, you tune in on the goal you’re pursuing the way you would in Zeland’s technique, but with more flexibility. But if a step takes longer than one day, the novice stalker will have time to recognize what kind of real-life event they face.

7. As you play the card’s part, the PM gains power and inertia; and if you do everything right, you’ll feel you’ve reached a fixed path, something like a rail track — the predetermination and inevitability of events. If your behavior at that moment is not typical of you but matches the card you’re playing, you get a feeling of being a puppet. That’s normal in the PM, so don’t be afraid or upset. We are all actors and puppets in the theater of life. It’s just that some feel the strings leading up to the puppeteer while others are unaware of them. The more of a puppet the stalker feels, the more freedom they will have when they most need it. Paradoxical, but true. And those who don’t understand that they’re free to choose their puppeteer would be well-advised to mentally address the one they want.

Yelling things like “Out of the depths I have cried to thee, o S — , Lord, hear my voice” while laughing your head off is something I strongly discourage you from doing. First, someone is sure to hear you. Second, they might even respond. In that case, to tell them you were just kidding wouldn’t work.

To quote a smart man, “If there is no god, what use is it to reproach him; and if there is a god, why spoil the relationship?”

That’s why I recommend simply saluting some abstract power as you proceed with laying out the cards. Something on the lines of, “One-two, one-two, here I come to find you. Dark and light, dark and light, joining you is my delight.“Or any old way you want.

You see, choosing the puppeteer is the puppet’s only right that is sacred and inviolable.

8. Once you get close to the Knaves, remember that they’re indicating cards. So your next step is to tune in, the way you did before, on the meaning of the Knave card — play its part and search the world around you for events that match the card. If you do everything correctly, you’ll meet a Knave who will tell you personally the news that you’re getting closer to your goal.

9. Then move on to the Tarot Horseman. In playing the Horsman’s part, you get to feel a fair wind behind you, and you submit to it. But I recommend first playing the horse’s part: to get the best of the wind, you should know what’s it like to be the wind.

10. As you play the Horseman’s part, your actions systematically push the multidimensional continuum of probabilities out of its equilibrium during all the time you play the part.To restore the equilibrium, the continuum needs to throw the remaining target card in your perception field. That’s the exact reason why you get that card (provided you’ve made no mistakes down the road).And the more strongly, systematically, and skillfully you play the parts of the cards you get, the more significant the outcome will be — the outcome is directly proportional to how well you play the part.

If you’re bad enough, you’ll be booed off the stage. If you’re good, they’ll thank you with flowers. The better your acting, the higher your reward. Here, it’s important to understand that the PM is not a machine that will do things for you. Rather, it’s a technique to push through the matrix in a way that brings results: what you get from that technique depends on how you use it.

Chapter 21. Some common mistakes inusing the PM

1. Mistake #1: “I span the Wheel of Fortune over and over again, but I never called a correct letter.” Unless you understand the cards’ meanings as they apply to your goal, the PM will make no sense to you no matter how long you tinker with the cards. To reprogram your perception so that it can actually see the cards, you should read The Magic of Numbers by Avessalom Podvodniy.

2. Mistake #2: “Role playing is beneath me.” If you’re going to do PM stalking, you must play a part because that’s what PM stalking is all about. If you don’t play your part, then simply thinking that you’re actually playing through the game will produce results on par with your effort: the PM will think it has given you the results you sought.

3. Mistake #3: “We had this discussion, and I found that there are two opinions: one is mine, and the other is incorrect.” When you slip on the mask associated with a card, you should forget the way you normally act and behave. That’s a tough thing to do — especially so if your psyche and behavior aren’t malleable. Wearing that mask all day long is even harder. But this physiological and emotional exercise adapting you to the continuum is the helm that steers your destiny as you navigate the tortuous path to success. If you want to stand your ground stubbornly like a bull at a gate, good luck with that. We’ll see which is the heavier — you standing on the rail track with your “I won’t budge an inch” flag or the train coming your way.

4. “But I’m used to living it up. Do you want me to play one card all day long like an idiot? Give me five or so.” That’s yet another common mistake. Instead of playing the part of one card a day, the stalker strives, for various reasons, to play different cards. This is the natural result of focusing on a single card and its part. Your psyche tries to switch parts, and that’s something you should avoid. It’s quite easy — all you have to do is keep an eye on yourself and think what you’re doing and which card it is you’re facing. That way, you’ll come to assess things you haven’t done yet. Avoid systematically any actions that aren’t consistent with the card you’re playing, but don’t get too enthusiastic.Use the energy you’ll save that way to play the card’s part.

5. To paraphrase a passage from a Russian fairytale, “If you turn right, you’ll find someone. If you go straight, you’ll find something. But if you just keep loitering here, someone will find you.” During the day, you’ll be asking yourself whether you should go about doing --">
