“Faith is an openness and trusting attitude to truth and reality, whatever it may turn out to be. This is a risky and adventurous state of mind. Belief in the religious sense, is the opposite of faith - because it is a fervent wishing or hope, a compulsive clinging to the idea that the universe is arranged and governed in such and such a way.

Usually the story is a direct description of what is going to happen in a particular window of time although talented readers can tell you much more than that from looking at the symbols in the cards!

Panic attacks occur for no apparent or clear reason. Their causes are unknown. They may happen at the most unexpected times and may strike you unexpectedly. They are sudden and spontaneous, and as such might occur when you are under severe stress or when you are quite relaxed and in restful sleep.

In other words, your phobia (irrational fear) or phobias might trigger them. You may be alone or in the midst of doing some people, you may be doing nothing or something important, when the panic attacks might occur, without any sort of warning. For instance, you might suffer a panic attack while driving or shopping or doing something else like riding in an elevator, without you having even an inkling of what is happening to you.
