My #Patriots Tarot prediction just after Halftime, when things looked glum...
1. Present Situation: King of Cups
This could represent Brady and the Patriots Dynasty or it could even be
Belichick, stern, good-hearted but not in touch with his emotions.
Ruling with head and heart. Or it could even be the kind-hearted
Patriots owner, Robert Kraft. #NotDone
2. Present Expectations: Queen of Pentacles
Queen of Hearth and Home, comforts of home, home game, strong position, sitting pretty, abundance. Home/Family/Sacrifice for the Greater Good. Success but #NotDone
3. What is Not Expected: 3 of Wands
Assessing one's next move; progress has been made, foundation laid, but
there is more to consider. Potential for growth. The need to reassess
and try a new strategy to achieve objectives. #NotDone
4. Immediate Future: 10 of Swords
Things look dire, but this is about clearing the ground for something
new. Keep the faith, as a new dawn is on the horizon. #NotDone
5. Long-term Future: Death
This represents transformation on all levels, which means the ability
to turn this game around. Patriots have pulled off so many wins in the
last minutes of games, it's their M.O. In it to win it, fight to the
death. #NotDone
Significator: Ace of Pentacles
New
Beginnings, potential for success. Magic trick. I
predicted a comeback, but it would get worse before it got better, yet
they would pull off a win in the last minutes of the game, again. And so, It
Is. #NotDone
WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!

NFL Hysteria a Reminder of How the Elite Have Controlled Men for Thousands of Years
While I am well aware of the fact that things like sporting events are used to manipulate and control the masses, I do enjoy watching football and baseball, as well as Formula1 racing, and many other "sports" such as golf and surfing. (However, after Brady's witch hunt and wrongful persecution, like most New Englanders, I am NOT a fan of the NFL's penchant for drama, or of Goodell, and I never will be.) Sometimes we can enjoy a distraction that allows us to decompress from the mundane "unreality", as long as we don't take it too seriously. I can't afford to see these games in person, so I especially enjoy watching at home, where I can hear and even rewind the play calls, without the distraction of drunken, shouting pub pals.
As one who works with the body, I admire individual athletic achievement, regardless of team affiliation, and I marvel at what the body is capable of. Yet to me, ultimately, these are just games. I may not agree with everyone's personal choices in how to express their views, but I defend their right to express them. No one should be subject to character assassination over perceived slights. People need to lighten up and stop taking everything so personally. This article makes some valid points about the hysteria and self-righteousness, and the larger agenda, that IMHO, is taking all the fun out of the games.

NFL Hysteria a Reminder of How the Elite Have Controlled Men for Thousands of Years
By Isaac Davis, Waking Times
Few things in American culture exemplify the fractured status of the collective psyche quite like the popularity of the National Football League (NFL). The NFL has become a de facto symbol of American freedom, while in reality it performs the function of the Roman circus, keeping the distracted from the extortion and crimes of state.
The NFL is sponsored by major corporations and by the U.S. Armed Forces. The games played in multi-billion dollar subsidized stadiums have become patriotically charged events, where spectators conflate fighting for freedom with watching games for entertainment. Men are told to pick a team and go to war for that team. Fans of different teams are mortal enemies. Military planes conduct fly-bys overhead, and participants are apparently expected to stand for the national anthem.
The euphoria of football has political value. The sport is an important program of deflection and subjugation of the natural male will to protect community and to fight against foe if necessary. This natural drive is captured and projected onto the tightly controlled images of the league, its teams, and its players. Games are presented as life and death struggles, while real-life issues are downplayed in favor of this never-ending drama.
Author William Cooper talked about the importance of football and other major league sports in a society where men must be pacified in order for the government to continually abuse the populace. Cooper’s perspective is that such enormous investment in the sport as a national pastime serves to distract the people from important social issues, deflecting blame away from the oligarchy for it’s contributions in destroying real freedom. When men’s passions are levied on sport, they pay little attention to the workings of the state, and have no gumption to resist creeping tyranny.
And now, as ‘take a knee‘ protests have swept the nation, the NFL’s image has just been shattered in a catch-22 of brainwashing and cognitive dissonance. What originally started as a statement against the very real and destructive issue of police brutality has become a hysteria-fueled social movement and front page news. People are destroying thousands of dollars worth of team branded merchandise to demonstrate that complaints against the state will not be tolerated.
Now, the president has even chimed in, adding fuel to the fire and doubling down on the notion that the National Football League is first and foremost a patriotic organization. In this country, and in this sport, the government is not to be criticized. Not for brutalizing the citizenry with out of control police, or anything else.
In a society as rigidly controlled by a monolithic, top-down, know-it-all organization like the state, the archetypal energy of the male is manageable only by suppressing man’s natural drive to protect his community. This is how the elite have controlled men since the days of the Roman Empire.
When President Eisenhower left office, he warned us that the U.S. was changing under the pressures of a new world, and that a military industrial complex had emerged which would pose a sincere menace to a free society. Fast forward almost 60 years and his words are quite prescient.

“So long as they (the Proles) continued to work and breed, their other activities were without importance… Films, football, beer and above all, gambling filled up the horizon of their minds. To keep them in control was not difficult.” ~ George Orwell, 1984

“What does the emperor do when the people have become restive, and when the people are asking questions, or when the people don’t like the policies of the emperor? He sends them to the circus. He creates a circus. He builds a giant coliseum and he begins to throw the Christians to the lions, and he has great chariot races, and football games, and basketball games. All to keep the idiots preoccupied with things that don’t mean anything in the scheme of the entire world. So that they don’t have the time to learn what the truth is, so that they don’t ever get smart enough to learn how they’re being manipulated. So that they don’t ever question the emperor.” ~William Cooper
“When a hundred and fifty of the most powerful men and women in the world can meet in secret… to plot the fate of billions, and nobody even cares about it, but six football players go to lunch together, and it’s in the headlines across the country, you have a reflection of the society in which that exists. And it is a sick, sick society that is doomed to self-destruction.” ~William Coope

Final Thoughts
In a society as rigidly controlled by a monolithic, top-down, know-it-all organization like the state, the archetypal energy of the male is manageable only by suppressing man’s natural drive to protect his community. This is how the elite have controlled men since the days of the Roman Empire.
When President Eisenhower left office, he warned us that the U.S. was changing under the pressures of a new world, and that a military industrial complex had emerged which would pose a sincere menace to a free society. Fast forward almost 60 years and his words are quite prescient.
“Now this conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence—economic, political, even spiritual—is felt in every city, every Statehouse, every office of the Federal government.
In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted. Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together.”
~Dwight D. Eisenhower

Liberty and Justice for All. What a concept!
As often occurs, some of my best insights get sparked by a comment or post on Twitter or a discussion thread on Facebook or blogs I follow. I found this cartoon on Twitter and re-posted it FB, where my intended quick comment expanded into a deeper reflection. ~PB
Liberty and Justice for All. What a concept!
by Phoenix Boulay 25-Sept-2017
Take a knee. Odd phrase. Strange action, I used to think. Today I have come to realize a lot of things because of this controversy. It's not about disrespecting the flag or the Military. Most protesters expressed that they have the utmost respect for those who serve, and either served themselves, or had family or friends who served. They love this country. They insist, this is the greatest country of all. We have the freedom here to protest that people in other countries don't have. This is about protesting the fact that there is NOT "Liberty and Justice for All". It is not supposed to be just for some of the people.
We have a POTUS who does not understand at least half the people in this country, nor do they feel at least respected by him. Many people are not only afraid of what he might do next, they are afraid to walk or drive down the street in their hometown, for fear of being stopped, misunderstood, accused of something and/or shot.
As a white woman who is not afraid to go anywhere, any neighborhood, I find it appalling that some of my friends and neighbors have to watch their back when they leave their own house. Have to pray they make it safely through their activities of daily living. Have to be extra careful not to do a moving violation or have a broken taillight, so that they don't potentially end up dead. Imagine that!
We do not need a POTUS in a Bully Pulpit judging and condemning people he never met or talked to. We need lines of communication to open up. We need mutual respect. We need less rhetoric and threats and more asking questions of the other, more trying to clarify what is not understood, more DE-ESCALATION, and less John Wayne bravado. We need a mindset of conflict resolution, cooperation and an agenda to create peace. This can only come through communication and understanding, acceptance and tolerance.
Some of you may not believe it, but we are close to joining Galactic Civilization. We are close to Disclosure, and learning about the Secret space Program. If you wonder where all the money goes or why we don't have decent affordable healthcare in this country, look no further than the black ops programs run with your tax dollars. Not to mention the TRILLIONS that have gone missing since 9/11. Too bad our education system is not so great... people are not taught to think critically, not taught to keep an open mind and consider that anything might be possible. Not taught to look deeper at an issue, not taught to consider the viewpoint of the other, and learn from it. Not taught to think for themselves or to Question Authority.
I urge you all (myself included) to awaken and take stock of what matters to you. Do not accept somebody else's version of "What Happened" just because you like them. Use your gut instincts and look deeper at ALL the players involved, seen and behind the scenes, not just the usual suspects. More than anything, understand that we are evolving, our DNA is upgrading as it responds to electromagnetic light pulses from our Sun. The Sun itself is changing from a yellow star to a white star, which should be obvious, because the quality of light has changed in recent years. If you are observant, you will have already noticed. We are moving from a mind-centered consciousness to a heart-centered consciousness. This is important, as it will open us up to create potential solutions and connection.
If we don't strive to wake up, there will be more disasters and trauma to shake us out of complacency. Yet even the weather can respond to our thoughts and intentions, because we are Co-Creators in this world. We are collectively shifting from 3D to 5D, and our thoughts tend to manifest more quickly than they used to. So it is very important to keep the faith, elevate your thoughts, keep your vibration high with clean eating, pure water (we are 98% water!), movement, large doses of nature to decompress, introspection, meditation, and positive interaction with others. We are all in this together. We are taught to believe in limitation. But That's Illusion. We are far more capable of creating solutions to long-standing problems than we realized. So let's persevere and go all in!
