Letter 12: The Hanged Man

"...the spiritual man is upside down. This means to say, firstly, that the solid ground under his feet is found above, whilst the ground below is only the concern and perception of the head...For him it is the will which plays the stimulative and educative role towards feeling and thought. He acts first, then he desires, then he feels the worth of his action, and lastly he understands."  --VT
