Buying Atoms Context
Back on Day 219, I wrote that I would simply type up the notes from my notebook and perform a brief card analysis for the next few weeks. It’s been challenging to restrict what I want to write, but it is part of my lifetime’s character arc. Going out on my own with cryptocurrency and buying atoms and a missed car appointment. So, today’s notes were:
- I only realised today that I’d missed a car appointment for its service. It was booked for 9 Aug 2021 – three days ago.
- I needed to go back and check why I missed it and discovered it was the day I had the bad antibiotic reaction (Day 220 – An Unexpected Antibiotic Reaction).
- From a cryptocurrency perspective, I’ve wanted to purchase something that caught my eye. Since I began getting into cryptocurrency, I have wanted to buy an ATOM in the Cosmos. Now, I have no learned idea of what that means. However, I think an ATOM is a coin in the same way that Bitcoin is a coin, and Cosmos is the developer of that ATOM. So, today I purchased some ATOMS in the Cosmos.
- Cryptocurrency is much like shares on the stock market, although there’s a lot of obfuscation. So, I’m still learning. At the moment, I haven’t found anything that uses an easy to understand analogy to help understand the currency world. I’ll keep searching; maybe I’ll find something.

The Cards - Buying Atoms Analysis
Carryover Cards
One card carried over from yesterday; Letting Go, moved from Outcome to Future Energy.
Cross
Possibilities in the Distant Past and a spiritual Goal to become The Master led to a Thunderbolt. The destruction created by Thunderbolt’s presence made an opening for a Breakthrough to influence a New Vision of Now. It also means that Future Energy will have something by way of Letting Go.
And now for the translation. Possibilities can apply to both cryptocurrency and car booking. In a minuscule way, the Breakthrough is me tacitly understanding enough about cryptocurrency to branch out on my own and purchase it without the aid of Lee’s husband.
And when it comes to the car booking, Possibilities is the times available to me, and the Breakthrough is when it dawned on me that I’d missed taking the car in for a service this morning.
In both instances, there was a New Vision. Once I had successfully bought the ATOMs, my world opened up (not quite to the Cosmos, but it’s a beginning). And for the car, the New Vision was me recognising the reason I missed the appointment.
When it comes to The Master and the Goal, I sought to become a master in both circumstances. The Master of understanding for crypto – buying ATOMs – and The Master of changing the car booking. Yes, I know it’s a stretch.
Letting Go in Future Energy is simply moving on from both; crypto was a big Letting Go because I no longer needed to rely on Lee’s husband, Jon, wholly. From a car perspective, I needed to let go of the missed opportunity for a car service.
Base
Strangely, Healing is in the Feelings position and appears unrelated to today’s topics. But is Healing so irrelevant? No, it’s not. Healing is me not only feeling better, but it is also about Letting Go, which, if left unchecked, might come back as stress.
Others’ Views are that I’m Compromising. It is what I needed to do with the car’s rebooking. For cryptocurrency, there is some truth in that, too, since I limited myself just buying a couple of ATOMs when I wanted to buy more. I’m not risk-averse yet!
Intensity is in the Hopes & Fears position and applies to today’s topics. I hope my purchase wasn’t too much of a gamble because it was unguided. Perhaps the consequences are severe.
As for the car, the new date is after we have been travelling and therefore I hope missing the appointment doesn’t have dire consequences. The fear is, obviously, that the results are impactful. Intensity is like a bounding new puppy not knowing its strength and not wholly aware of consequences.
The Outcome is to listen to my Inner Voice, including buying ATOMs, and everything will work out. Philosophically speaking, what I bought is what I purchased.
