From the Fey Tarot, the Seer (High Priestess); from the I Misteri della Sibilla, Great Consolation (Seven of Clubs):
It would be interesting to step outside the mind and see its commentary on all that we learn. As humans, we naturally filter information, choosing some as important, ignoring other parts, and labeling what we don't agree with as erroneous. The mind wants to function efficiently, so it will generalize, delete and distort to keep things running smoothly. But the Seer suggests we let the mind become quiet and calm so that we can peek behind the door of the ego. What the ego decides to keep and use may not actually be useful in the long run. The Great Consolation Sibilla card shows a man counting his blessings. It's possible he listened to his luminous mind rather than his ego. He would realize that he doesn't have to pretend to be someone else to find a mate; he doesn't have to cheat to be honored; and he doesn't have to lie on his tax returns to be prosperous. In fact, that's probably why he's able to take a moment to relax and enjoy his life.
