pp. 282-283 AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA, by Dane Rudhyar (1973)
PHASE 352 (PISCES 22º): A PROPHET CARRYING TABLIETS OF THE NEW LAW IS WALKING DOWN THE SLOPES OF MOUNT SINAI.
KEYNOTE: The need to bring down to the level of everyday existence the clear realizations made manifest in a great "peak experience"
The symbol obviously refers to Moses after he received from the God of his people the basic principles upon which a new religion, and even more a new ritual of living, should be founded. This basic "Law" has to be "brought down." It represents a descent of formative and structuring power, a divine Revelation. This type of revealed knowledge contrasts with the kind of knowing born out of the experience of touch, of feeling, of warmth of contact.
This second stage symbol pictures a process to which a religious God-given character has been attributed in the past, but which today is being investigated at the personal and psychological level. The important point here is: what do you do after you have a peak experience, an inner revelation? The Keyword MANDATE is appropriate; but the basic problem is how to fulfill it in the right spirit.
