Four Card Spreads, Our Daily Spread
Advice is about what divides people who are of the same family or community. Literally the four read: "Us. Them. Connect. Shun." Our story is about whether to be a hippie or an Episcopalian; whether to stay with the characteristics and beliefs you were born into, or poke your nose out the door and test the strange air. Attitudes bombard this subject. Having some friends costs you other friends. Partners in the firm avoid conflicts of interest.

Advice He is the energetic kind of man with a focus on his priority. He aims to get that done and he succeeds. His love interest. His child or children. A home in a safe old neighborhood, fixing up that old house. He is gonna do it. He spends the money and the energy that it takes. A bad boy who is sweet to you, devoted to you: the perfect romance? He is successful because he is a rough looking dude who acts very little-boyish. We gave it to him because he has the best idea how to ge...

Advice is about fighting for what you want and defending yourself from others who want you or want what you have. What one person sees as getting ahead is an invasion of another's fiefdom. In the same vein, lovers want someone who is desirable precisely because he or she is unavailable. Pestering a person who has the mindset of preferring what is unavailable is counterproductive. In a similar vein, we want a spiritual life but prefer that God not interfere with our preferences too much whi...

Advice We here equate having it all physically with having it all mentally, focusing on the mental processes that might lead a person to the dream life. Sometimes that mental life is the dream life, an end in itself. Ask Mr. Einstein, who had no shoes. Enlightenment comes before satisfaction with life. If you keep doing the same thing, realize that must be what you really want to do. A silly idea can make you rich. (At the time of production, there's no way to correct the lack of space...

Advice Women get together and get things done out of sight of the menfolk. There's a sisterhood that operates as a co-op when no guy has a part in the deal. He senses that the womenfolk are in agreement about him when he's not around. The girls are glad he didn't want to share their doings, now there's more for them. He sees the woman he left behind making fast progress. But some fellows rush right over; they have the idea to join in the woman's enterprise. (At the time of production, th...

Advice Realizations and intense feelings and visionary inspirations naturally give rise to double-takes, doubts, and feeling silly as contradictions occur (contradictions between common sense and 'imagination'). We feel upside-down. In real life, the contradictions are resolved with further life experience, often accompanied by a 'Who'd-a-thunk-it?' feeling. Next the vision (if accepted) sinks into our bones and we are enlightened. (Then we might feel wise and smug.) (At the time of pr...

Advice Doing what is proper and acting politely is juxtaposed here with fear of upheavals. Being the one who offers to make things right can be risky. Being an affectionate boyfriend who makes the first move can be scary, even if it's right. Is his/her goodness motivated by a fear of karma, chickens coming home to roost? If you simply accept that bad things can happen to good people but are somewhat less likely to, you save yourself the fear. (At the time of production, there's no way ...

Advice centers around the importance of trust in a business deal or relationship. The more trust there is among the people who get together to make a business, the more likely the enterprise is to succeed. This is true of a couple and this is true of a family. Even a nation whose leaders reflect the values and lifestyles of citizens functions better. A person who has the ability to get people to work together trusting one another is a person whose enterprise succeeds.
Is this the first ti...

Advice We feel a natural sadness and regret when one chapter or phase of our existence ends and another is upon us. It could be going to college or the 'empty nest' or divorce or moving to another love relationship or the death of a spouse, or even moving away from the neighborhood or selling a house. Any old end of any old phase may evoke a primordial sadness that things do not go on, they shift and change, so we cannot stay the same person we are either. (At the time of production, the...

Advice Family ties. Family invests in the promising or the troubled child. The child is so happy to be free of the dysfunctional background. The neighbors figure the brat got what he deserved and will testify. There's a lot of talk. Child support is such a problem to the new family: They tell you about it. Everyone in the clan chips in for the treatment of a child's problem. The happiness he gets from freeing himself from his childhood background is worth it.
