p. 238 AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA, by Dane Rudhyar (1973)
PHASE 283 (CAPRICORN 13°): A FIRE WORSHIPER MEDITATES ON THE ULTIMATE REALITIES OF EXISTENCE.
KEYNOTE: The subjective quest for ultimates beyond the interplay of life and death processes.
Beyond cultural enjoyment and the passion for accumulation of often-unusable data of sense knowledge stands the willful and determined "adventure in consciousness" of the occultist, the yogi, the mystic. The mystery of fire has always captured man's imagination because it is the mystery of all transformations wrapped in the enigma of death. In times when collective, perhaps total, death could be in store for mankind, the process of subjective meditation is fascinating an ever-greater number of people.
This is the third symbol in the fifty-seventh sequence. It brings us to a stage beyond life itself. Are we ready to take this step which the masters of yoga claim to have taken: to experience death and return to the same body? Are we ready to demonstrate man's WILL TO TRANSCENDENCE?
If we ask ourselves this question, let us ask it realistically, as well as metaphorically: Are we ready to demonstrate man's WILL TO TRANSCENDENCE?
The problem is we cannot know what to expect if we answer "yes". Or?

My guess is the world soul will move towards our capacity to be curious. You might as well ask yourself why does it do any good to write this out in words.
I hope it will create a kind of resonance and understanding in the Noösphere. I don't believe that my writing, as obscure as I've attempted to make it, can truly rise to the surface unless it is given a fair trial.
Let the trial begin. If ever I've been ready it is now. May on-going Cosmogenesis align with Earth and our species to create sustainable abundance—if not in our lifetimes—then in the next evolution of our co-created experience (whether we can know it cognitively or not).
