This is the moment of grounding that goes with the crown of the Tree of Life. You must continue and not get stuck by your ego; because this Tree of Life is a ladder that goes on forever.
XIRA, in the card above, is the Archangel of Dark Matter and Kerub Hawk. Dark matter is information, the most powerful force in the universe: and we can only see its effect. It’s not actually dark, it’s just beyond our understanding.
That is a great example of how much you do not know; we can only see the effects of the information running the whole universe. Don’t get self-satisfied. Don’t pronounce yourself enlightened. Keep learning.
Below is the culmination of the first path with the Philsopher's Lodestone.

84.🝓🜀The Philosopher’s Lodestone; Start; ♇🜕;. Kether. Between the Woman and Son Octant on MRKBH. In the scene the angel is showing our hero, Jason, the hold of the demon upon him. This demon pride is the false crown of pride that hides from truth. It is very easy to think the ascent of the Tree of Life means you are The Master. That’s no more true than ordering a one-with-everything hotdog and saying you've achieved enlightenment. What you've done is begin to master a process for parsing out the human soul. However, the adept embarks on the Great Work of transformation: no transformation, no adept. The Tree of Life process is a refining cycle to repeat; not a mere vertical ascent. Plutonium nitrate needs great caution to employ; and so do you need to have caution to not become self satisfied and end your quest. Days three hundred and sixty three through three hundred and sixty five meditate on advancing your path with the concept of responsibility as you have been doing. We are literally taking it to the next level, so this idea that you have been focused on needs to steep for a moment. Then take this new understanding, which begins to spell out your dharma, and take it back through the base card paths in order, this time one day at a time, as you complete your Furnace of Secrets great work.
Meanwhile I will tell you what comes next: you must overcome lust and pride and have forty net positive good karmic acts to get to the next level of spirit: and this will give you dominion over reality.
Then you must overcome shame, fantasy, ideology and accrue five hundred net positive good acts increasing serendipity as you do, and building a habit so you no longer have to keep score, and this will ensure your ascension.
After that, transcend your ego: then you're ready for adventure and to just host God; in your body no foolin!
Note: Octopods are awesome. They are smart evolutionary masters of the sea. The idea was that this would be a leech eating Jason which represents the parasitical experience of those who seek the spiritual experience through external authority. Parasites lose their organ function because their subsistence on a host body makes them weak. So here Jason would be seeing his external need for validation from authority instead of looking inward. Still, I really liked this picture as a representation of the false crown; which the puffed up ego is destroyed by. But for the octopods, I thought I would put my picture here of the angel of unseen emotions; which taps into alien powers of the mind. These alien powers were likened to the octopus and the ant. So here is she.
