Resurrection

In the Master’s words

What the card shows

In the waters of life a column, symbol of building. The base of the column is the cubical stone. Of the two columns, the white and the black, only the white has remained, being a symbol of purification. In the middle section is a mummy from which escapes a sparrowhawk with a human head.

— Samael Aun Weor, Tarot and Kabbalah, ch. 20

Its esoteric meaning

Arcanum number 20 is the Resurrection. For there to be Resurrection, there needs to have previously been death; without it there is no Resurrection. How beautiful it is to die from instant to instant...! It is only with death that the new comes! We need to die from moment to moment if we truly want to individualise ourselves. The pluralised “I” excludes all individuality. In no way is it possible to have individuality where multiple entities (I’s) exist which argue amongst themselves and give rise to various psychological commitments within us.

His synthesis

Resurrection: The Resurrection of the Dead “Favourable Changes, take advantage of them. Put an end to weaknesses.”
