The Devil

The Devil stands on a pillar representing the psychical realm that we are all bound to. Chained to this pillar are a male and female figure which represent the duality that binds us to life and rebirth until we reach self make. The symbol explains how through temptations in the psychical world the Devil binds us into life time after life time of bondage to lower levels of existence. All of us have a propensity to fall back on habitual behaviour when we feel stuck, ineffectual or unhappy This can be anything from smoking, drinking, taking drugs, eating chocolate, because we are familiar with them over working, stealing, lying, sexual excess, abstinence, laziness ... the list is endless.
