John 20:25 · World English Bible
The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
The doubting, dissecting nature of Virgo stands here as Thomas, the mind that will not accept the higher presence until it can measure the wounds with its own touch. The disciples are those who meditate and have already met the Lord, the higher mind, in stillness; the analytical one demands proof through the hands, which are energy, the left drawing in and the right sending out.

ESOTERIC
The doubting, dissecting nature of Virgo stands here as Thomas, the mind that will not accept the higher presence until it can measure the wounds with its own touch. The disciples are those who meditate and have already met the Lord, the higher mind, in stillness; the analytical one demands proof through the hands, which are energy, the left drawing in and the right sending out. He wants the finer reality reduced to something the fingers can verify.
This is the moment in a person when the reasoning brain refuses what the inner sight has shown. The higher mind is real whether the analyst touches it or not, and only when the doubting side quiets can the whole man believe.
Disciples: the parts of a person that meditate and turn inward Lord: the higher mind, met inwardly in stillness Hands: the channels of energy in the body, the left taking in and the right giving out

What do you already know is true that you keep refusing to act on because you cannot prove it?
The hand cannot grab hold of the hand, and the eye cannot see itself seeing. Some things are real in a way that will never fit the tool you are reaching for them with.
An ant walks across a page and reports that the world is black lines and white spaces. The reading is accurate and it misses the whole letter.
The frog in the well measures the sky by the circle it can see. The sky is not smaller for being unmeasured.
