– card 10 –

 

Part of the process of assessing a situation is the use of intuition and psychic gifts. But some circumstances may merit a more analytic approach. Being better informed and armed with a greater understanding of the facts and background to any situation might provide a stronger basis from which to make better decisions.

 

It appears that the character in this scene has dedicated the necessary due diligence and is armed with a substantial amount of information.

 

But therein is a question of how much may be too much. One can become overwhelmed and tied

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as

useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may

accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be

of far less value than a much smaller amount if you

have not thought it over for yourself.
