Notes
Book of Power
(The Hanged Man or self abnegation.) Initiating influence is worked mysteriously without recourse to profane means. It goes by unnoticed, for it is expressed neither in resounding speeches nor in actions which attract attention. Of his own free will the Initiate condemns himself to an apparent impotence which allows him to act as he wishes and with efficacy.[2]
"This Hanged Man serves for an example to the presumptuous, and his position indicates discipline, the absolute submission which the human owes to the Divine."[3] In the previous passage, notice both the threat of physical violence and the admonition to submit.
"But the revelation of the law involve punishment for him who violates it, or elevation for him who understands it; and here we find the ideas of punishment, of violent death, voluntary or involuntary." IOW, once the secrets are revealed, you better keep your mouth shut, or else.[4]
