From the Hoi Polloi Tarot, Judgment; from the I Ching Pack, Hexagram 56:
These two cards, Judgment and the Wanderer (Hexagram 56), illuminate the dilemma of humans. We find ourselves in an unstable world, and we want something that will give us security. We jump in the first box we see that promises us certainty and control, only to find that it does neither. We hear the trumpet to awaken (realizing our error), climb out of our boxes, then go in search of another box that will give us the 'right' solution. It seems an endless, cyclic activity. What we search for is not found in any philosophical concept or organized religion, but within our own heart and mind, in learning to come to terms with the uncertainty of life.
A spiritual practice can be an island, a place where opening to uncertainty and doubt can lead us to a refuge of truth. —Joan Halifax
Sometimes, well probably a lot of lifetimes before we realize that the answer lies within. We think we are separate and eventually we reconnect and know that we are all interconnected, all one. And even after the realization it takes us much longer to trust.
