Q: I received some Angel cards for my birthday. Is it true that angels can actually intervene through the cards with messages?
Hai: Well if you are responsive to the Angel you may turn up a card, but the card you turn up is not significant to any great extent. What you find significant is what the card awakens in you, what the card prompts in you to help you attune to an aspect of the angel, to receive communications from angels. But the actual card is not too significant in this, but the meaning of the card, meaning which you associate with the card at the time is important.
Q: So the words we get on the card are only in relation to how it affects us?
Hai: You could get one card one night and you could be prompted to think of certain thing, certain message with this card, but you could pick up the same card the next night and be prompted to think of something else. Therefore, this helps in communication if you are open, if you are not closed, if you are not pre-empting the meaning, if you are not connecting with your own meaning. Do you follow me? You must be open to reception of meaning, of communication. It is dangerous if people use cards, like tarot cards, this is dangerous if you get a tarot card and without question you associate a particular meaning to the tarot card because you are reading from the book. But if you use the tarot card to connect with tarot card with open mind, with free mind open to communication then you may find that they will help you to communicate, to receive communication. Therefore, they are a tool.
Q: But the card you pick out is the card that you are meant to pick out isn't it?
Hai: No not always. It is not always so.
Q: So you could pick out any card?
Hai: Yes, but you could get different meanings to the same card and if you are free and open, as I say, then you may receive communication from agents who use these cards to convey a meaning to you. But some people use tarot cards like a book and attach definite meanings to each card. They get too hooked on all this. If they are too fixed on their interpretations of meanings according to the book, this is potentially dangerous because they are open to suggestion. Those with a not strong mind are open to suggestion and this can cause difficulty for them.
Q: Do they just help you to attune then do they?
Hai: Yes and others to attune to you. You see if someone picks up a card with a sword on it, what would you think of this?
Q: Aggressiveness, a need for protection?
Hai: You might think that. You may think that death has come. You may think that injury or threat has come. You may think all sorts of things, but you could also think of a positive thing. You could think it symbolises the sword of truth to cut through deceit, to cut through danger.
So there are many interpretations and we must go with our intuition when using the card. It can mean a negative thing at times but you may also find that you are attracted to certain aspects of the symbol of a card on different occasions. So you may have a symbol of a sword with gleaming light on one point of it. Sometimes you may focus upon this gleaming light. Therefore, this sword has positive associations for you. Other times you may focus on another aspect of the sword to bring about a different meaning. So we must go with our intuition and use our intuition and allow those who are benevolent communicators from other worlds to communicate with us.
Q: Would we get clearer messages through dreams?
Hai: It depends upon the dream. Some dreams are not so clear.
Q: Is there any harm in looking at the cards every day or should they be left with a much longer gap between?
Hai: No, there is no harm in looking at the cards but it is better not looking at them too frequently for it may blunt your intuition, may affect intuition. It is better to do it regularly but not too regularly, if you understand me. Six months is too long. We will not be prescriptive but we say pick a reasonable regular time but not like clock work but reasonably regular, for you need to practice in your use of these cards if you wish to use them. So too great an interval is a hindrance but too frequent use is also a hindrance, for your active mind will become too active on them if you use them too frequently, yes, and you start to associate, you start to become too rigid in your associations of the cards.
Q: So you could come to rely too much upon the cards then?
Hai: Yes you could but you also blunt the intuitive faculty, because your mind becomes too active. There are different energies with these symbols. So you need to be able to come to them with a fresh mind each time and go with your mind, go with your intuition.
