Imagination is the key ...
  When consulting any oracle (be it a book, tarot cards, runes, etc.) the messages given are often subliminal. In order to interpret the messages, you must let go of your logical side and let your imagination take over. Indeed, in order to subdue the logical side of the mind, the Shaman would get high on drugs made from plants. However, I don't propose that you should do the same!!  
 
 
Interpreting the text
    Now the fun begins!! As with the tarot cards, straight foward answers are very rarely given. You have to be really desperate for guidance before the book will give you an easier time.   
     
  If you're using a sacred text such as the Bible then you're in for some real detective work. As it stands, the meaning of the Bible texts are still being argued by scholars without you having to find your own answers. The guidance given will be cryptic and, at first glance, not at all related to your question. However, work at it. Look at the words. Think what the words mean in relation to the Bible then think what the words mean in relation to you. Let your mind wander. Fire your imagination. Read the text carefully and as your reading it, feel it. Immerse yourself into the words. You will soon begin to make connections between the text and your question. Once a connection is made, let your imagination wander again. More insight will be forthcoming. The more you immerse yourself into the text and replace logic with imagination, the more profound the revelation will be. Remember, you are not looking for an answer. You are looking for guidance.  
     
  If you're using a novel then the guidance is more down to earth. However, you still don't get off lightly. You still need to let your imagination go with the text in order to pick out the messages being conveyed.  
     
  Dead end  
  If you've tried your hardest but still can't interpret the message then don't worry. There are two reasons for this. The first indicates that the time is not right to answer your question. For example, suppose you recieved an indecipherable message regarding wanting guidance on starting a business then it is not yet time for you to start the venture. The second reason is equally as important. Consistently, cryptic and indecipherable messages indicate that you are using the oracle too much and must wait a while.
