From the Rohrig Tarot, the Two of Swords; from the Master Tarot (Oracle), Twice Born:
More important than the quest for certainty is the quest for clarity.
–Francois Gautier
When we're mired in the muck of a situation, it is nearly impossible to see the issues clearly. Only when we rise above it can we gain perspective, seeing objectively without emotional attachment. It's not about being right - it is clarity that will help us move out of the muck and make appropriate choices. Twice Born shows Lazarus, who was thought to be dead but was brought back to life. It suggests that we must also awaken, leaving behind our fears and our agenda, in order to see reality just as it is. In the words of Ian Brady, “One should try to be honest with oneself almost as a daily devotion.”
