#91 - Pamela Eakins - Western Mystery Tradition - Find Your True Path with Tarot of The Spirit

Do you wonder if you are living your calling? According to my guest today, the greatest crime against the universe is not living one's calling. Meet Pamela Eakins, author of over 20 books, PhD in sociology, and founder of the Pacific Mystery School.

I highly recommend this interview—I was inspired from beginning to end, and if you're curious about the tarot, I think you will be too. Pamela Eakins published a tarot deck when there were only seven tarot decks on the market and just two publishing presses producing them. In this episode I mention how her writings speak to my right brain - what I mean to say is that the content is guiding my soul, it resonates deeply and I can come closer to the sea of deep consciousness. Like Pamela Eakins writes in Tarot of the Spirit: "The objective of working with tarot, whether as oracle, spiritual path or meditative tool, is to attain a sublime integration of internal contradictory elements in order to transcend conflict or conditioned response patterns and move into a state of inner peace and deep awareness of our true identity"

Here are some of the topics we go into in our conversation:

• Desire – In the book Tarot of the Spirit, Pamela Eakins writes: "There is desire to move, desire to know, desire to change, desire to grow, desire to fill up the Void of Life with mystery... No one imbues us with this desire. Desire sprouts and blooms of its own accord, in its own time..... Desire is the only medium strong enough to bind the scholar to that which is studied"

• Aquarian ideas/Visionary cosmology/The universe/Sociology/ 

• New paradigm – different ways of knowing, eventually leading us to the field of neurodivergence and being cosmologically divergent

• How the Tarot of the Spirit represents the Western Mystery Tradition’s knowledge

• How we are made of stars and the universe is within us

• The universe at the cutting edge of its existence

• Mystical imagination

• How to know if your calling aligns with a higher purpose rather than being a result of trauma adaptation

• Pamela Eakins' experience of war and how it changed her

• The origins of the Tarot of the Spirit for Pamela – a card game

• Compromising an academic career to follow spiritual awakening – without knowing what she was doing

• Taking big leaps

• How tarot has been shamed – as Pamela says, it often happens to those who threaten the system

• The sun card – making everything transparent, leading to spiritual realization

• The reason why the cards you draw are always the right ones

• Pamela’s interpretation of the 1 to 3 cards

• The chariot and the karma card interpretated

• Trust you are on the right place at the right time
• To be DRAWN in - not just being led by passion but finding synchronicity 

In the end, Pamela answers several questions at once, using the cards and drawing three for us as a collective. Don’t miss that part—there’s real wise download being shared.

Note: Pamela mentions the Salem witch trials but accidently says  the another year. The correct years are 1692-1693.
