10. As you play the Horseman’s part, your actions systematically push the multidimensional continuum of probabilities out of its equilibrium during all the time you play the part.To restore the equilibrium, the continuum needs to throw the remaining target card in your perception field. That’s the exact reason why you get that card (provided you’ve made no mistakes down the road).And the more strongly, systematically, and skillfully you play the parts of the cards you get, the more significant the outcome will be — the outcome is directly proportional to how well you play the part.
If you’re bad enough, you’ll be booed off the stage. If you’re good, they’ll thank you with flowers. The better your acting, the higher your reward. Here, it’s important to understand that the PM is not a machine that will do things for you. Rather, it’s a technique to push through the matrix in a way that brings results: what you get from that technique depends on how you use it.
Chapter 21. Some common mistakes inusing the PM
1. Mistake #1: “I span the Wheel of Fortune over and over again, but I never called a correct letter.” Unless you understand the cards’ meanings as they apply to your goal, the PM will make no sense to you no matter how long you tinker with the cards. To reprogram your perception so that it can actually see the cards, you should read The Magic of Numbers by Avessalom Podvodniy.
2. Mistake #2: “Role playing is beneath me.” If you’re going to do PM stalking, you must play a part because that’s what PM stalking is all about. If you don’t play your part, then simply thinking that you’re actually playing through the game will produce results on par with your effort: the PM will think it has given you the results you sought.
3. Mistake #3: “We had this discussion, and I found that there are two opinions: one is mine, and the other is incorrect.” When you slip on the mask associated with a card, you should forget the way you normally act and behave. That’s a tough thing to do — especially so if your psyche and behavior aren’t malleable. Wearing that mask all day long is even harder. But this physiological and emotional exercise adapting you to the continuum is the helm that steers your destiny as you navigate the tortuous path to success. If you want to stand your ground stubbornly like a bull at a gate, good luck with that. We’ll see which is the heavier — you standing on the rail track with your “I won’t budge an inch” flag or the train coming your way.
4. “But I’m used to living it up. Do you want me to play one card all day long like an idiot? Give me five or so.” That’s yet another common mistake. Instead of playing the part of one card a day, the stalker strives, for various reasons, to play different cards. This is the natural result of focusing on a single card and its part. Your psyche tries to switch parts, and that’s something you should avoid. It’s quite easy — all you have to do is keep an eye on yourself and think what you’re doing and which card it is you’re facing. That way, you’ll come to assess things you haven’t done yet. Avoid systematically any actions that aren’t consistent with the card you’re playing, but don’t get too enthusiastic.Use the energy you’ll save that way to play the card’s part.
5. To paraphrase a passage from a Russian fairytale, “If you turn right, you’ll find someone. If you go straight, you’ll find something. But if you just keep loitering here, someone will find you.” During the day, you’ll be asking yourself whether you should go about doing this or that. Give preference to that which is consistent with the day’s card, and put aside or reconsider everything else.
6. Mistake #6: “The landscape outside the train’s window.” Literature on the PM is quite confusing as it offers a variety of versions and — forgive me, Kostya — is fraught with errors.Some stalkers have taken to thinking that in observing PM events they set out, and play through, a game of the PM. Sure enough, that’s true to a degree. Just like a mirror with its two sides, the stalker should act both inside (mentally) and outside (in other people’s perceptions). But sometimes stalkers go into a kind of trance, looking at the cards outside as if through a train window. At that moment they fall out of the matrix, and even those around them can’t see them. That’s something you should avoid. At least, in the beginning.
7. “Calling a cow a plane won’t make it fly.” I mean incorrectly interpreted cards. Basically, it’s not important which card has which meaning from a mathematical perspective. The theorem goes something like this: “It doesn’t matter which cards you have in your deck — the only thing that counts is that the deck should be complete.” But what is consistent with the Archetypes is way more efficient than modern replicas. That’s why you should study classic hermetic, cabbalistic, and Tarot interpretations and principles. That’ll make the PM orders of magnitude more efficient.
8. “Look, someone’s drunk half my glass.” “Don’t give me that line — someone has filled the glass half full.” That’s the worst and a really terrible error in PM stalking. The cards’ meanings in the table are sheer numbers. In real life, you may come across a process or entity associated with a given number that may be either positive or negative. If you’re on the lookout for negativity all the time, finding negative cards may significantly increase the negative side and end up in any kind of accident, from a car crash to spiritual devastation.
