“And there we saw giants, the Nephilim, so that to ourselves we looked like grasshoppers in comparison, and that’s how they saw us too!” Hearing this all the people of Israel cried out in fear and wept all night long.12

The ten did not see with the eyes of faith the land the YHVH promised them. They still saw with the eyes of slaves, so that they saw themselves as grasshoppers. Even though these were people who had witnessed the Divine hold back the Sea of Reeds so they might escape Pharaoh’s army, their faith was not strong. Like the figure in the Nine of Swords, they did not feel the power of the Divine Presence with them. And as former slaves, their Netzach was weak, further undermining their faith. This affected the whole community, who let the fears of the ten scouts keep them up all night, crying in fear.

We humans seem to be wired to forget. At least I am. I have had moments when I have felt a strong Connection to the Source of All Life that has filled me with a deep inner peace. But a week later, something happens that disturbs my newfound equanimity, and my old fears return and blind me to the Divine channel that is always open.

This is an illusion, the self-deception that’s at work in the Seven of Swords. But I have fallen prey to believing it. And that makes it just as real as if it were true, because it has kept me from seeing the opportunity to connect that’s ever present. Today is a day to examine just what triggers this wavering of faith, what activates this self-deception. Because the more one falls into the trap, the longer the time spent wandering in the wilderness.
