There is an air of authority about this fellow. He is an intellect who also doles out justice. His rational mind looks for evidence, and he is swayed only by the facts and not emotion. Like the knife stuck in the floor, he is grounded in what is real. The Spirit of Man represents the Higher Self in everyone, the witness within that does not take orders from the ego. Similar to the King of Swords, it sees objectively. But unlike him, this Self realizes we need two wings - both wisdom and compassion.
When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. ~Dalai Lama
