Beyond The Looking Glass - Words of the Unseen - Chapter 120
𝓦𝓸𝓻𝓭 𝓫𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓱𝓸𝓻
Beyond The Looking Glass is the second book in the Unseen series, a story that came to me from the other side. A story where I thought I was just the narrator until I heard the Words of the Unseen.
This second story goes beyond time and place and mixes the long ago with the here and now. Because history keeps repeating, until we learn and do something about it.
Beyond The Looking Glass - Words of the Unseen - Chapter 120
It took me a lifetime to get here.
And where am I now?
Who am I now?
I am not John; John might be my role, but I am not my role.
The question does not seem to want to let me go, it keeps coming back. As a test I need to pass before I can open the next door, so let´s do it. Let me try one more time to take a good, hard look at myself, and try to see beyond the looking glass.
How did I see myself for many years... as The Hanged Man.
It´s the image that came to mind when I asked the question....but is that who I truly am?
Archetypes might be able to guide so let´s see
🙃 The Hanged Man (Card 12) – The Turning Point
- Symbolism: Suspension, sacrifice, surrender, reversal of perspective, enlightenment.
- The Hanged Man is not being punished—he’s choosing to hang upside down to see the world differently.
- It represents a time of pause, letting go of ego, releasing control, and viewing life through a new lens.
- Often appears when growth requires surrender or waiting, not action.
💬 “To move forward, you must stop resisting.”
I did not make that up, actually, very little of what I tell you is fiction. Neither is the fact that I saw myself as The hanged man for many years.
Suspension, sacrifice, surrender, waiting, practicing patience, knowing that one day it all makes sense. One day, when Ego & Control are personas from the past. When I stop resisting, I can move forward.
Hence, when I stop chasing butterflies, and let the butterflies come to me...right?
Looking back, I have been hanging upside down for years to see the world in a different light.
The thing is that lately I have been seeing myself in a new light, I have turned myself upside down again, and now stand straight up and right before you: "Pleased to meet you, as I am The Fool."
This really has been a very recent discovery. It was an Eureka moment when I did the Cinderella thing, when I found the fool's boots and they fitted like gloves.
But who is the fool, really?
🃏 The Fool (Card 0) – The Beginning of the Journey
- Symbolism: New beginnings, innocence, potential, risk, spiritual openness.
- The Fool represents the soul at the start of its journey. Naïve, curious, and unafraid, stepping off the edge of a cliff without knowing what’s ahead.
- Often shown with a small bag (the wisdom of past lives), a white dog (instinct), and looking upward—trusting the process.
💬 “Step into the unknown and trust the fall.”
Did you see that?
Did you?
Every single word, but above all the wisdom of past lives, a white dog (instinct), and looking upward—trusting the process.
And I stopped resisting, moved forward, stepped into the unknown, and now trust the fall. This is the last twenty-five years of my life in a nutshell. If I knew it was that simple, I might have never started writing this journey.
Now, there is something wrong here because in a logical order, the fool, card 0, comes before the hanged man card 12, but what if it is in reverse?
And in life, the same thing happens; most souls start from spiritual openness and only contemplate their faith after a fall that was less friendly than initially expected.
But annoying little me wanted to do it backwards, so what does that mean?
🧭 The Journey: From the Hanged Man to the Fool
🔄 Normally, in Tarot, the Fool starts the journey and eventually becomes The Hanged Man.
But if we reverse that—going from The Hanged Man to The Fool—you’re talking about someone who:
Has gone through loss, surrender, or inner stillness.
- They’ve been through spiritual or emotional paralysis.
- They’ve had to let go of identity, control, maybe even a sense of self.
Emerges with new awareness—and chooses freedom.
- After hanging in the void, seeing things upside-down, they are now ready to leap.
- But this Fool is different from the beginning Fool—they’re reborn, enlightened through suffering or reflection.
Steps into life again, but with awakened trust.
- It’s a conscious leap, not a naive one.
- It’s a return to joy and spontaneity after pain, not before it.
🧠 It’s the path of the mystic, the artist, or the survivor:
You surrender your old self to see beyond it—and return to the world, not broken, but renewed.
Did I drive that one home, or out of the ballpark?
I am sitting here with a freaking huge smile on my face, feeling very clever figuring this one out.
While in reality, I did very little. You want to know how my blind self found this eye-opener?
I heard it, I saw it, I was told to look into it, and now I see it´s good.
It´s beyond good, it´s spot on if you ask me.
Admitting that I am still growing into my new role of being The Fool, feeling a little sad saying goodbye to my old self who was hanging so comfortably numb upside down for years.
But I knew it, I felt it shift, something changed, but I did not see it clearly till today.
