For More On Tarot: The strength of the Higher Power, through the power of will, shall also enable our desires to be controlled, that we desire not to follow the world as a prowling lion, devouring all in our wake, but rather to desire to enter the holy chariot and travel with Him to the highest points of Heaven. Strength will also encourage our emotions to have the proper reactions to all around us--to see ourselves not as a victim nor to seek retribution, but to seek only goodness, oneness and wholeness.
Strength will also touch our physical bodies, that we might have the ability to work and live and move in this world. In all ways then, the divine will is working to provide health to all of our vehicles--to our mind, our emotions, our desire and our body. This is why I began this chapter with this quote, which I will repeat. Moses said to the people, "Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage. For by strength of hand, YHWH brought you out from this place." The woman is another Godly archetype. Divine will lives within us. Bondage in Egypt has become a symbol for slavery to sin. Held captive by the lower desires, we prowl the earth as a lion, and we are actually enslaved and unable to free ourselves. But as YHWH removed the Hebrews from bondage to slavery in Egypt, so too he will remove us from bondage to sin in our mortal lives.
