Take the Tower card. In tarot, it represents sudden change, destruction of old structures, and the breaking of illusions. I keep seeing that imagery when I look at how tech operates. The algorithm knows my habits better than I do. It predicts my moods, my fears, my desires. It's like the Shadow in Jungian theory—the parts of ourselves we repress or ignore. The tech is basically an externalized Shadow, reflecting back everything I don't want to see.

I'm a paramedic in Eugene, OR. I deal with people's worst moments all day. I see trauma, I see the raw edges of humanity. And I'm realizing that spiritual awakening isn't just about enlightenment. It's about facing the Shadow. It's about recognizing that the tech isn't evil, it's just a mirror. And I'm learning to look into it without flinching.

I used to think cosmic currents and crystal energy were just New Age fluff. But now? I'm finding language for my experience through tarot, meditation, and Jungian archetypes. It's a deconstruction phase, and I'm realizing that my old evangelical framework is crumbling, making room for something more nuanced.
