60 INQUISITION

Brief Description

The Inquisition card represents the dangerous tendency to judge others harshly while remaining blind to one's own faults. It warns against self-righteousness, intolerance, and the abuse of moral authority for personal validation. While truth-seeking can be noble, this card cautions that fanatical pursuit of being right often leads to cruelty and injustice. The energy calls for distinguishing between constructive criticism and destructive judgment, reminding us that true wisdom lies in compassion rather than condemnation.

Image

Three judges sit at the pulpit, passing sentence on a humbly standing woman. One holds his hand on a book of laws, another gleefully rubs his hands together, the third pronounces the verdict.

Visual Details

By their faces we see that this activity brings them pleasure. The condemned woman humbly bows her head and is ready to accept whatever they have sentenced her to. The card often describes an ancestral or karmic program.

What I Can Learn Today

Today is a suitable day to learn to listen to others' criticism. One should distinguish constructive remarks from the desire to humiliate for self-assertion.

How to Behave Among My Environment

A person may be reproached and accused. One should accept only constructive criticism.

Motive

Self-assertion at the expense of condemning others. Desire to get to the truth. Categorical nature, following the letter of the law contrary to common sense. Intolerance of others' opinions.

State

Tendency to blame the environment and external world for all problems. External locus of control.

Process

Will need to press harder.

Relationships

Poor. Blame for one's failed life is placed on the partner (the king from 'An Ordinary Miracle'). Partners reproach each other, pointing out flaws and miscalculations.

Warning

Righteous anger or fanatical truth-seeking can make a person blind and deaf.

Advice

Try to get to the truth despite everything. Perhaps it's time to consult a professional (such as a lawyer, psychologist) for advice.

Result

At the cost of incredible effort, truth will be found. The guilty will be found and duly punished.

Additions

Truth-seeking: The Lord God is a God of truth, and there is no untruth in Him.

Final Reflection

Who does not love truth does not love God. But who told you that the Catholic or Orthodox inquisitions acted according to truth, and did not speculate with it, as with the name of Jesus Christ? Before condemning anyone for anything, it behooves a decent, sincere person to remember whether he himself has ever acted similarly through delusion or by the will of unfavorable circumstances (Ali Apsheroni).
