NEW VISION -12 Major Arcana
When you are open to the higher, it immediately flows into you. You are no longer an ordinary person – you have gone beyond. Your insight becomes the insight of the whole existence. Now you are no longer out of touch - you have found your roots.
Usually everyone moves without roots, not knowing where their hearts continue to receive energy from, not knowing who continues to breathe in them, not knowing the life juice that flows inside them. It is not a body, it is not a mind – it is something that transcends all duality, that which is called bhagavat – bhagavat in ten directions...
Your inner being, when it opens, first experiences two directions - height and depth. And then gradually, as soon as this becomes your stable position, you begin to look around, spreading out in the other eight directions. Only when you reach the point where depth and height meet do you begin to look around, at the very circumference of the universe. Then your consciousness begins to unfold in all ten directions, although there was only one road.
The figure on this card is reborn, growing out of its earthly roots and gaining wings to fly into the infinite. The geometric shapes around the figure show that many dimensions of life are available to it at the same time. The square represents the physical, the manifest, the known. The circle represents the unmanifest, spirit, pure space. And the triangle symbolizes the triple nature of the universe: the manifested, the unmanifested, and the human being, which contains both.
Now you have been given the opportunity to see life in all its dimensions, from depths to peaks. They coexist, and when we learn from experience that we need darkness and difficulties as much as we need light and lightness, then we get a completely different worldview. By allowing all the colors of life to flow into us, we become more whole.
The New Vision card in the classic tarot corresponds to the Hanged Man card.
