HOW IT WORKS
Tarot presents a collection of archetypal symbols, universal themes, and characters that resonate with fundamental aspects of the human experience... images that transcend cultural, geographical, and historical boundaries and therefore have the power to speak directly to each of us and our inner world.
The 22 Major Arcana encountered in The Tarot Experience VR represent significant life events and stages of individual development that all human beings encounter during their lives. These archetypes, such as the Fool's innocent and heroic beginning or the World's ultimate self-fulfillment, reflect universal themes of growth, transformation, and the cycles of human life.
Importantly, the Tarot's appearance and connection to the users' consciousness goes deeper than pure chance. Randomness itself is labile, meaning it can be influenced by the observer's state of mind. Tarot practitioners, backed by some little known but well established scientific experiments into consciousness, know that the cards drawn are not just 'random' but are in fact influenced by the seekers' energy and intention. This concept aligns with the idea of synchronicity, introduced by psychologist Carl Jung. Synchronicity suggests that meaningful coincidences occur when there is a connection between external events and an individual's inner state of mind. In this context Tarot becomes a moment of meaningful chance, a game that we play with synchronicity!
TAROT'S FORM + FUNCTION
When individuals set a clear intention before engaging with the Tarot cards, their focused energy and subconscious desires have the power to influence the random card selection process at the heart of The Tarot Experience VR. The use of a unique True Random Number Generator (TRNG) in The Tarot Experience VR's card selection process allows for cards to be drawn that seemingly resonate with the seeker's thoughts and emotions, reflecting an uncanny quality of their personal life experience in a deeply meaningful way. This is how Tarot cards are able to act as mirrors reflecting the seekers' current state of mind, desires, fears, and aspirations.
Setting a clear intention before a reading is a good practice that enhances the overall experience for the user. It establishes a focused and empowering context, deepens the connection with the personal subconscious, and prepares you emotionally for the insights that may arise. Through this process, and when approached like many other art experiences (with a willing suspension of disbelief) The Tarot Experience VR becomes a personalized and purposeful experience, providing meaningful guidance that resonates with the seeker's deepest thoughts and emotions. The act of intention setting, and trust in the magical reflection of the True Random process, opens a pathway to self-discovery and exploration which makes Tarot an effective tool for gaining profound insights into the narratives of one's life journey.
