Why This Mapping?

The Hanged Man invites surrender and new perspective. Elizabeth Loftus shows how letting go of certainty reveals deeper truth.

Reflection Questions

  • What am I holding onto that I need to surrender?
  • How would this situation look if I viewed it from the complete opposite perspective?
  • Where am I playing the martyr instead of making a conscious sacrifice?
