From Tarot by Caro, the Hanged Man; from the Holitzka I Ching, Hexagram 17:
The Hanged Man's position forces him into seeing from a new perspective. There's nothing wrong with having a personal viewpoint - unless we refuse to see it as just a view from one point and not the whole picture. Such a constricted mindset is out of balance with reality. It often takes being in a position of helplessness, unable to change a situation, to understand that we humans don't direct the flow life. Hexagram 17 is generally called Adapting. It refers to hanging onto our principles and ethics, but adjusting our sails when the wind changes. We don't need to waste our energy battling reality, but if we adjust to it, we will likely see what is helpful for us to do.
Humans are really good at seeing what they want to see. We fool ourselves with personal views, but hey they are ours.
