The task of creating something new is always preceded by the destruction of something else. We must sacrifice old ideas and old patterns to achieve the goal. We must be willing to sacrifice, and we are at the point in reaching our goal where certain things must be given up. This realization is the twelfth step on the Path to Achievement. Death illustrates that the sacrifices we are making from the previous step have opened the door for new ways.
Death is the transformation from old to new.
Old growth must be pruned to allow the new seeds a chance to grow. The destruction of the old ideas naturally results in the growth of new ideas. This is the thirteenth step on the Path to Achievement. Temperance is the time of prudence to allow the new ideas to grow and develop. Give yourself time to allow your conscious and subconscious minds the opportunity to set these new ideas in place.
