From the Hoi Polloi Tarot, Judgment; from the I Ching Pack, Hexagram 29 (Water over Chasm):
Spiritual awakening isn't an exit strategy but a deep dive into reality with arms spread wide. It means we do not turn our head or distract ourselves from what is happening here and now; we see it clearly without adding our personal assumptions, projections or opinions. Yet Hexagram 29 (Abyss) points out that our emotions can flood us and cause us to retreat, thinking that these feelings are aligned with facts rather than just a temporary energy that moves through us (dissipating when we don't feed it with thoughts). But just as water flows and fills up every depression it tumbles over, we too need not avoid what frightens us. Open and curious, we investigate its nature and learn what it has to teach us. Then, rather than impulsively reacting, we can make an informed choice.
