One of the ways in which I may be falsifying results re C[ircles] A[nalysis] and S[ynthesis] – the most obvious way – is simply being tendentiously selective.

For example, if Protestantism is a sect of self-denial (which its attachment to harsh territories, eg the highlands of Wales and Scotland, and its association with [bringing about] economic success, seem to suggest); and if the T.XIV card Temperance is at r~; why is Protestantism associated with the Right Outer Circle?

An answer may be in the vagueness of the term ‘self-control’ which I have used for both S~ and r~: experience clarifies the difference.

Control, even self-control in the sense of willed inhibition for a desired end, is associated with Ordination at S~.

T.XIV ‘Temperance’ at r~ is not self-control so much as sacrifice of self, detachment (from Self), through Love for Another, even for The Other especially as expressing itself in others. Control doesn’t come into it.

*{Is the Self-sacrifice at R~ and the Self-detachment at r~?}

[ie outer & inner circle, respectively]
