The clouds of the ego have closed in and left the painful impression that the love, truth, and beauty The Hangedman<\/a> knew are inaccessible.<\/strong><\/p>

Fear, doubt, and confusion remain; all the ego-centric suffering remains to some degree or another, while the memory of the revelation remains beneath the suffering shining its light into the psyche.<\/strong><\/p>

It is now time to discriminate and eliminate the obstructions. The process of spiritual cleansing begins. The way of denial. Neti-neti.<\/strong><\/p>

Since The Hangedman, what we are working for and what we have been seeking is understood directly, not only intellectually. It is understood that we are what is sought.<\/strong><\/p>

We are not working for some state of metaphysical power, we are not striving to add something to ourselves or to improve ourselves; we are not attempting to create an immortal vehicle for the ego.<\/strong><\/p>

The work is no longer aimed at personal achievement. The work now is to clear the psyche of weeds growing unconsciously in the dark ground.<\/strong><\/p>

That is, clear it of misconceptions, fear, false beliefs, and imaginary spiritual goals.<\/strong><\/p>

Death represents the removal and the insignificance of all symbols of identity, namely: the personality and the body, thus the heads of kings and queens and body parts lying on the ground.<\/strong><\/p>

It is the removal of the belief in the imaginary picture of ourselves. It represents the discarding of all that is spiritually useless.<\/strong><\/p>

This card does not have a name. Spiritually speaking, the symbol of not having a name points to the elimination of one\u2019s primary image of self.<\/strong><\/p>

The card is telling us: you are not your name, your body, or the person behind the name, abandon all symbols of self and find the Real Self.<\/strong><\/p>

As the cleansing process continues, more and more is seen about the unconscious manifestations of duality, and the prison of distorted ideas and fear, which are what prevent a life lived in present peace and spiritual fulfillment.<\/strong><\/p>

These unconscious manifestations are represented by The Devil<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
