KEY 12, THE HANGED MAN, has to do with the principle of the SACRIFICED GOD, the need all souls have to SURRENDER. This is a tough concept for most of us on the spiritual path. How do we let go of what we think we want? Each of us tends to hold on too tight to ideas, wants, and imagined needs, aspirations, relationships with family and friends, not to mention a lover? However are we going to LET GO of the BELOVED? Not easy, is it?
How do we RELEASE our cherished hopes and dreams that are hampered by our constant conscious longing for immediate or ultimate fulfillment? Actually, giving it all up to the highest is an important part of getting it, believe or not! Have you ever noticed how prayers are sometimes answered only after you have totally forgotten about them? When you have really given up? You let go and the prayer is answered! This is part of the process of learning to VISUALIZE and let it go! For when something is constantly held in self-consciousness ... subconsciousness doesn't have a chance to work on it.
CONSCIOUSNESS CREATES, so please keep this in mind if you ever happen to worry. Worry is negative meditation. And, if you worry about something long enough and hard enough it is likely to manifest, so please try not to worry! Unless the negative pattern is what you really want as part of your life. Worry is a negative aspect of visualization. Please try to remember that!
In the act of serious MEDITATION, the intellect surrenders to the subconscious or unconscious where the good stuff is stored, so Superconsciousness can bring the answer you seek into conscious awareness. All the answers to all the mysteries in the Universe are stored within the COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS, which is shared with all aspects of Life.
Having one of those days when everything goes haywire can actually be good for your spiritual development. Because when that happens you are forced to let go and release it all! What else can you do except beat your head against the wall, and that won't get you anything but a headache or brain damage. When life doesn't go 'my way', I always think of THE HANGED MAN. I used to keep Key 12 on my dresser and probably should put it back, come to think of it! However, in my office I am surrounded by Tarot Keys and pictures of Spiritual Masters to help keep me on track.
As an example, can you force someone to love you? Charms and potions are silly nonsense! I am constantly amazed by those who claim they can bring back your two-timing lover who deserted you for someone else, no doubt less worthy. Why even bother? If your former lover wants another, he or she is probably doing you a big favor. In the immediate future, you may need to meditate on THE HANGED MAN to help get him or her out of your system. And yet, we all learn and grow from and through our pain, like it or not. No pain no gain on the spiritual path as in most patterns in life!
This Key is NEPTUNE, a sometimes tricky planet, therefore deception is another aspect to consider. And yet, the one who fools us more often is usually our self ... through our illusions and delusions, lack of facts, misconceptions, being too dreamy, or escaping through substances that alter our perception: alcohol or drugs. Even too much chocolate can be hazardous, whether it makes you feel like you're in love or not!
For instance, is romance really LOVE? Or is romance a game to play to capture the attention of someone we fancy, someone who rattles our cage and makes our temperature rise up a notch? My spiritual teacher, Ann Davies, used to say, "You don't fall in love ... you GROW in love." Enjoying the facade of romance is fine if you realize deep down that you are playing a game of courtship by dressing up in your finest and indulging in a candlelit dinner for two. When you fully buy into the illusion as reality you are under the influence of a Neptune fog and seeing the world through rose-colored glasses, which may be fine on occasion. Games are fun at times and make life more enjoyable.
In almost every life experience there is a lesson to learn. Some lessons are easier than others, of course. This is why we can call on the HOLY SPIRIT anytime, anywhere for assistance, which is also depicted by Key 12. Help SELF, we may need to cry out at times. And the Higher Self burns off the haze and brings in the LIGHT, so we may find our way and avoid falling off the cliff again.
From the highest spiritual perspective, KEY 12, THE HANGED MAN, represents the state of consciousness that Yogis and Buddhists refer to as SAMADHI. This state is reached when the lower mind completely SURRENDERS to HIGHER MIND, and physical activities sometimes become SUSPENDED, which includes breathing and other normal bodily functions.
BABAJI, the Divine Himalayan Yogi, sat in a cave in the late 1970s in India in this suspended state for 39 days and nights without moving, without eating, without doing anything, with one arm suspended in the air. I was privileged to meet this spiritual Master in Bombay, India, in 1982, and he has continued to play a significant role in my life. I have had some really magical, unbelievable experiences regarding the Mahavatar Babaji, and some of them are recounted in my memoir, COSMIC CONSPIRACY - Psychic to the Rich and Famous, which may be purchased at https://www.createspace.com/3475786 or on Amazon. Meeting Babaji in India was one of those high points in my life.
Then in 1994 as I flew to the Far East to work and play, with my first stop Singapore, I knew something was going to happen on that trip that involved Babaji. I had considered returning to India, but never did. As it turned out, I met a woman on the island of Bali in Indonesia who invited me to a session with the crystal chakra bowls. And the people who owned the house were devotees of Babaji and in Switzerland at one of his ashrams for the summer. His pictures were all over the house.
You can learn more about this elevated being who hangs out with other Ascended Masters on the Inner Planes at http://www.babaji.net/. Babaji teaches all paths lead to the One, which happens to be my personal philosophy. Any religion or spiritual path is capable of bringing a soul further along in development. Most of us are not yet evolved enough to be Spiritual Masters, although some may actually be closer to that elevated state than may be presently realized. As one popular Master taught, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
An extremely important part of spiritual growth is RELEASE and SURRENDER and that includes letting go of all negative traits, habits, and attitudes, for in that process we purify our hearts and souls in order to live the greater life that is our Destiny.
