p. 89 AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA, by Dane Rudhyar (1973)
SCENE FIVE: DISCOVERY
(Gemini 01º to Gemini 15º)
FIRST LEVEL: ACTIONAL
PHASE 61 (GEMINI 01º): A GLASS-BOTTOMED BOAT REVEALS UNDERSEA WONDERS.
KEYNOTE: The revelation of unconscious energies and submerged psychic structures.
Within the relative security of a "boat," an individual person can learn to be aware of the as yet hidden contents of man's collective Unconscious––provided this boat (that is to say, his ego that separates him from the collective planetary psyche of mankind) has been given a glass bottom. The conscious mind must have become, in part at least, translucent. This translucency is not direct openness. The window of the mind remains closed, but through it the individual can become aware of the outside––here "outside" means the psychic depths below the normal level of consciousness.
At this first stage of the "discovery" process one can only speak of vision, not identification. The feeling is one of wonder. "I did not know this could exist! How beautiful!" or "How exciting!" A NEW DIMENSION OF REALITY is perceived by the earnest inquirer.
