Misunderstood by many, much like the Death card; the Devil makes us uncomfortable and uneasy. We don't like to think of a seed of negativity in people, and so prefer to blame an outside source for our tragedies and suffering, but it is our own negative beliefs and thoughts that attract people, places and things that are a vibrational match to us. This is not punishment, but it can be hard to accept.
The Devil is the ego run riot - fear, judgement and thoughts of separation clouding our perception with untruths and illusions.
In designing this card I wanted to take an unconventional approach, the barbed wire of negative thought bringing us to our knees and keeping us from our true nature which is Love. The flames, not of the proverbial hell, but the torture of hurtful thoughts and stories of past and future injuries, making us fearful of the future or resentful of the past. The cowering woman, portraying the visceral reaction we feel when we are off track, lost in nightmares.
A Course In Miracles Perpective.
""Only Love is strong because it is undivided. The strong do not attack because they see no reason to do so." Ch 12,V,1. ACIM
