Though I’ve been blogging, I finally “get it” – to get attention, it’s all about the “keywords.”  In the old days, like 10 years ago, we’d write something and put a sexy title onto it either by the writer or the headline person.  I love being creative and somewhat provocative with titleing, but now… who cares? It’s the keyword!  But what keyword?  I really don’t see myself doing research on keywords, to do that feels like stifling my original creativity. Nevertheless, it’s a struggle for attention, so I’ll try using my intuition for coming up with keywords that I intuitively feel have traction.  So, instead of one of my blogs entitled, “Now Voyager, Now Voyeur,” it’s been reworked to “Chatroulette: Quantum Magic of Synchronicity.” Hmmmmm…..

I was interviewed by a reporter for yahoo.com/hotjobs about the use of intuition in the workplace and specifically in the interview process.  Earlier in the morning, I read a column about how distrusting America is of the so-called “power elite.”  The one thing in common for these two events – empathy!

Empathy is that special intuitive ability that enables us to know what another is feeling and thereby be able to communicate effectively.  To succeed in an interview, empathically put yourself in the shoes of the interviewer so to fit into their desires and expectations.

Empathy is the quality that all the business hotshots who come out of the great business schools and go into banking and finances are lacking, according to the column.  These people have no clue about the context of people in which they live and work and make money from.  Empathy is not about being abstract and brilliant, but about being fitting into your social ecology – the key to building relationships, community, organizations – peace, unity and sustainability.

When it’s in the air, it’s in the air, and by that I mean when you have a strong idea, it will be in the mind of another person.  This “quantum” connection was just shown to me more than ever.

In my talks and teaching, I stress that Voyager Tarot is for intuitive activists, for people who get the insight and roadmap from the cards and then act on it.  Maps get you nowhere, but actions do. I always contrast how some who do the cards are “voyeurs,” simply wanting to look at the cards and be spectators of life.

Today, as I looked at my free Sunday New York Times, there was buried somewhere in the issue a headline that said, “Now Voyager, Now Voyeur.”  OMG!  Did they interview me, in my dreams?  Ah, that pesky little secret, the quantum connection did it.

The article is about the latest greatest internet activity called “chatroulette.”  In this simple online phenomenon, you hit a button that says, Stranger, and you connect to somebody somewhere around the globe (presumably this is the Voyager thing) and see them in action, whatever that is (you are now officially a Voyeur).

What is the value of voyaging into voyeurism?  Actually, alot. When you empathically get yourself involved in another’s activities, because of our ingenious mirror neurons, your cells act as if you were physically doing it, and we become more multi-dimensional in our life experience.  That’s good. And the seeker in us does want to know what others are up to.  We are a curious breed and any kind of insight and intelligence is from an evolutionary perspective, life seeking life.

But, but, but, don’t forget to be a participant in life, not just a voyeur.  So, what do you have to offer that you would like others to see about you and your activities?  I, for one, will play chatroulette and be doing the cards and so when somebody logs onto me, I will pick a card for them. (And this might just be viral marketing strategy that works).  We shall see. I will look into it.

One of my fave thinkers, Thomas Friedman (The World is Flat), wrote that “We are the ‘Grasshopper Generation,’ eating through the prosperity that was bequeathed us like hungry locusts. Now, we and our kids together need to be ‘The Regeneration’ – the generation that renews, refreshes, re-energizes and rebuilds America for the 21st century.”

Yes, yes, yes.  Recently, I led a Voyager workshop on the “Renewal of America.”  It’s a five-card reading of how America can regenerate!  This event was edited down to an hour and is on a DVD.  It’s got some surprising cards and insights.  Order it now if you want some inspiration for “re-ing” yourself and your country.
