*But the Number cards really come into their own here: as four long ‘arms’ on the front hemisphere curling back** from 10s just ‘in front of’ the Knaves position, curving ‘forwards’ (ie out of the paper plane) and inwards to meet in the 4 Aces round or at the ‘hub’ which is Man.***

In case it isn’t obvious already, I should point out that the Tarot Cards basically apply to the ‘Physical Universe’ Hemisphere and to its interface with the Spiritual Hemisphere.

*[See last previous entry]

**[‘Back’ probably referring to the plane of the (presumably, Outer) Circle, by contrast with ‘in front of’ and ‘forwards’ referring to depth on the 3-dimensional sphere. <20181007>]

***It may not be the Perfect Man so much as the Original Man. There is a conceptual link; & the ability of the Ace to be top as well as bottom symbolizes this position.
