SECOND LEVEL: EMOTIONAL-CULTURAL
PHASE 6 (ARIES 06º): A SQUARE, WITH ONE OF ITS SIDES BRIGHTLY ILLUMINED.
KEYNOTE: The emotional desire for concrete and stabilized existence as a person.
This desire for individualization operates at first as a one-pointed or one-sided drive focusing itself upon an exclusive goal. All emotional are at first possessive, and all cultural manifestations operate on the principle of exclusion. All that does not belong to the tribal sphere (one blood, one land, one folk) is the potential enemy. This is a necessary phase, for—as in the case of "the woman emerging from the sea"—the first attempt at building an inner realization of integral being may be defeated at any time by the regressive pull toward undifferentiation and the prenatal state of non individualization within the vast womb of nature or within unformed cosmic space.
This first stage of the second five-fold sequence of symbols presents the theme which will be dialectically developed—a five-phase dialectical process: A ONE-SIDED URGE FOR INNER STABILITY.
