Because most people don't have an interest in learning tarot. They just want their cards read to give a boost or catharsis to help them get goin in their life 😊
Tarot has helped me in my life so much. When I first got into it, I honestly didn't care if it was my subconsious or God or whatever speaking through the cards, I just thought why not give it a try? Especially after seeing positive results, why not keep doing it? What do you have to lose? Readings were sometimes harsh, but have immensely helped me better my life. I am so grateful for it. Now years later, I really do believe there is something more, that it connects us to a source and our subconscious both. I have also been diving into learning about different ancient religions and customs and I see the parallels in them all. I think the 'modern' especially western world is currently very disconected from their souls and spirituality, because we try to explain everything away and the honest truth is sometimes, we can't 'know' it all. We have to trust our intuition about this. Great video, I learned a lot from it! The way you teach is very easy to follow as well :) Thank you!!
@@JoeMonteleone Thank you for saying so, it has been an on going journey for sure :) I appreciate people like you who share and spread knowledge for the every day person to find, thank you again!!❤ It truly makes a big difference

When you use the tarot or any oracle, you are communing directly with the living Universe. You use the cards to communicate with the Universe, and the Universe uses the cards to communicate back to you. When you speak with someone on a telephone, you do not think that you are talking to the telephone. You understand that the telephone is your link to the person at the other end. Likewise, when you use the tarot, you are not communicating with the cards. Rather, you are using the cards as your link to the living Universe. Using any oracle has nothing to do with your subconscious. You are communicating with the living Universe, not with your subconscious.
The living Universe is another level of consciousness. First, you have your sensory input. Second, you have your ability to make sense of it. That is your consciousness. Then you have your wisdom, and that is your subconscious. Then there is your universal consciousness as Carl Jung taught. Then there is your amala consciousness, which is the same as the mind of the living Universe. The dreams we have while sleeping also come from our amala consciousness. The appearance of omens is a manifestation of our amala consciousness. Any visions we might have are manifestations of our amala consciousness. The amala consciousness of the Universe speaks to us through whatever oracle we are using. Ultimately speaking, the conscious Universe exists as much within us as it does outside us. Ultimately, there is no separation. In Buddhism, that is called esho fune, which means the unification of the self and one's environment. If the Universe were not alive and conscious, it would be impossible for oracles to work. But since the Universe is alive and conscious, and as long as you handle your oracle properly, the answers we receive through our oracles are 100 percent accurate 100 percent of the time. This is because there is nothing that the Universe does not know about itself.
I am a pragmatic person. Which makes for a nihilistic outlook on things. Which directly interferes with my love of the occult. So I find it difficult to fully give myself over to spiritual ideas.
You always make my brain explode. I always have to view with captions on, and rewind, and relearn, and revisit. Such knowledge condensed. You talk the talk and walk the walk. I get sick of all the fake readers on youtube and tiktok, but you are the real deal, you know your stuff inside and out. That would have taken years of study and practice. I love your channel and videos.
Joe, you blow my mind with your knowledge! So happy to have found your channel!! I was finding my ability to read tarot quite daunting and am now feeling encouraged that I, too, can do this. Thank you !!
Thanks Joe, The group I studied under was called Winged Disk, we used the Thoth deck. That was over 20 years ago. I've recently come back to the path an finding your channel is a total breath of fresh air. Your explanations are so on point and easy to understand, not the grueling next to impossible learning of the group years ago. I feel like I might actually be able to get something out of the cards. Back then it would take me hours to intuit anything out of a reading - Looking back, I was on point with my readings but I didn't know what the heck I was saying, I just looked at the cards in candle light until a thought passed my way. Again, thanks for creating this channel. I love hearing you talk, you're so... erudite and speak so succinctly on so many esoteric subjects. So refreshing.😁
I recently watched your video describing your awakening and it’s helped me put words to my own experience. And all of that has given me a super deep understanding of the cards. I’m rearranging my life in a way that allows me to formally learn with you.. it’s so true that this path reduces suffering. ❤
🗣️ Joe!!! I swear the keep limiting us from seeing your videos. I will subscribe again and this time bc I vibrated you va k to me…I will seek you out if you do not show up in a day. Thank you for teaching us 🎉
It’s disappointing that some teachers of Tarot are pinning it down to a simple exercise for your subconscious to interpret pictures in front of you. Sure this can be a small part of it if you find that therapeutic. But make no mistake the Tarot is the Source sending you specific messages for that point of your journey, specific to your question and intentions. Otherwise there would be no “accuracy” to it at all.
I understand how one can feel disappointed with such an approach, but personally I find exactly that approach to be the most appealing to someone like myself, i.e. a person who believes in some sort of divininity but does not treat divine as supernatural, rather an integral part of the reality. Something that we are all connected to via being part of the same reality, existing within the same medium of matter and energy, if you will - with body and spirit being the part of the same reality, even if divided into different stages/dimensions of it. If one so believes, one can find it convincing that our contact with the "source" (however we define it - internal or external, material or metaphysical) can occur simply through the interplay of our brain activity, ourselves as organised matter and information, with a Tarot deck - also being a peace of organised matter and information - providing us with a stimulus. I do not find it sad or disappointing if my Tarot reading is just a conversation with myself, because I as myself emerge from the infinite universe. I find the perspective unifying, rather than reductionist. But then again, I've always shunned Platonism as something that has hurt the Western understanding of reality and human condition, by e.g. paving the way for the Christian philosophers to separate the soul from the body and make us (boradly speaking) shun the latter for the benefit of the former. In a way, I find it a bit self-contradictory when Joe integrates Platonism with several Eastern philosophies that seem to be its polar opposites, but it could be just my ignorance of each other's intricacies. He certainly encourages one to learn more.
❤ I wish I could express in a short comment how Joe and his school changed my life but this weekend was all the proof I needed to know my life is forever better because I came across one of your videos Joe! Thank you again for all the wisdom you share with the world! 🎉
Hey there! I'm going to premiere a few classes over the next couple months. In those classes, I will be making a free downloadable guide that has the picture in it. If you're on my mailing list, you'll get updated there, or you can just keep a lookout on youtube. They're going to be fun :)
Yeah, I love your content and the way you explain tarot. One thing I'm super curious to hear from you about though: How do you separate energies when do a reading for others, or even yourself? In other words, there is a major life event going on in my life atm and when I try to ask about other aspects of even my own life, the cards frequently if not usually only want to talk about that same life change. It's fine for me now because I don't read for others, but I have been deeply intuitive and correct in the past with my intuition (cards, I Ching, other signs and premonitions) for both myself and for others, with quite specific accuracy, and I've considered eventually trying to read for others. Honestly I'm just more interested in general in honing my psychic skills as opposed to being a more passive (sometimes unwitting) recipient of messages as I have been in the past.
This is a great question. We were just talking about this in my class on Monday. I would be able to teach you over a comment, but the general idea is presence with what is showing up. The more presence and surrender to the energies that show up, the more subtlety you will have in discerning them, but it's something that grows over. Something cool about being present with your experience is that you begin to see how complex things really are. The ego is appreciated as a complex whirlpool of fluid dynamics of so many influences that are connected to everyone and everything in your life.
You are truly incredible & such a beautiful soul inside & out as well! As a beginning these videos are invaluable to me and I am so grateful to you for them. I am so happy I finally followed my heart and am on this wonderful, enlightening, spiritual, healing journey. Again, thank you for sharing your wisdom. 💜

The materialist/reductionist explanation doesn't work because if you do two readings for the same question, often you will get 70 or 80 percent of the SAME cards again! No materialist can explain that.
Thank you, I love that you teach… so interesting I’ve been interested for over 50 years in tarot and there is always something new to learn or experience ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Joe, love your channel! I thought this video would be about what forces cause the right cards to show up at each reading and the synchronicity that operates through tarot to deliver the right message at the right time. Could you please make a video about that? Thanks in advance, I'm learning a lot through your content 💚
Joe, thank you for the background. How come some readers doing a zodiac reading get the cards turned over which describes what that zodiac sign is going through? It is obviously not the reflection or introspection of the reader if it fits somebody halfway around the world.
This is a good questions. There's different theories for and against it. One theory is that they are tapping into the sign itself through the cards instead of the astrology. Readings done for the collective are just that though, so it's always good to be cautious with those.
Great Review The video explores different paradigms about how tarot works. Energetic Paradigm: Cards reflect the energy brought into the reading. Psychological Jungian Approach: Tarot as an expression of archetypes in the collective unconscious. Reductionist Material Approach: Tarot's effectiveness is attributed to our interpretation in the moment. Historical Roots: Tarot's influences trace back to Western esoteric traditions like Hermeticism, Neoplatonism, and Kabbalah. The Renaissance era saw a revival of these traditions, contributing to the foundation of modern tarot. Emanation and Unity: The speaker's favorite paradigm involves the concept of emanation, where symbols in tarot represent the flow from unity to complexity. Each card is seen as an emanation of the ultimate truth, reflecting how unity becomes duality and evolves into the multiplicity of our current experience. Perennial Truth: The common thread in various mystical traditions, both Eastern and Western, is the quest to bridge current human experience with the infinite or the divine. Tarot is seen as a tool to understand the perennial truth of the universe's manifestation and complexity. Tarot as Manifestation: Tarot is viewed as a reflection of the universal pattern of bringing together various elements to create complexity, similar to how choices and creations manifest in our lives. The speaker emphasizes that tarot is not superstition; it's a process of actively engaging with the forces that shape our experiences.
Like and share his videos and help get him out there! I’ve been waiting for someone like you my grandma died before she could teach me more it’s been 19yrs
I've wondered for years how my tarot worked and despite seeing Yt vids and asking AI's, I can only come to the conclusion that my deck has life of its own, however that may translate. Bumped into your channel and love your tatts. BB
Energies arnt just electromagnetic ,kinetic, thermal etc it can also be spiritual nor mystical etc our science isnt huge enough to understand it and hes reffering to it
That's the case, I will stop listening because it makes no sense and it's a waste of precious time. I rather call those things in myself. I'm more powerful than cards. Powerful enough to maintain the same positive vibration to allow nature to bring my desire into my reality. God give us that power.
Its numerology at play in the wild. Each card is numbered and your own numerology frequency brings out the truth of tarot. Your imprinted energy attracts the cards, not vice versa.
God bless you all ! don't forget to read your bible !! JESUS LOVES YOU SO MUCH! please speak God things that will benefit you , when we stand b4 - God we can't hide anything so please live a blameless lifestle! 💗🫶🏾

It’s called a “scam” and “fake.” Pretty simple.
