p. 74 AN ASTROLOGICAL MANDALA, by Dane Rudhyar (1973)
SECOND LEVEL: EMOTIONAL-CULTURAL
PHASE 36 (TAURUS 06º): CANTILEVER BRIDGE ACROSS A DEEP GORGE.
KEYNOTE: The conquest of separateness through group-cooperation.
The person who has suffered deprivation and loneliness can give new substance to his or her emotional life by participating in a collective project. All great evolutionary challenges imply the overcoming of basic difficulties. A step ahead must be taken yet an abyss confronts evolving man. It is no longer a personal Void––an "open grave"––but a chasm that is an integral part of the "land" upon which man's evolution must proceed. A link must be built through the power of the collective mind of the group or of the community at large, on the basis of the legacy of the past, to make a bridge over the canyon.
This is the first stage of the eighth five-fold process of "Substantiation." The man-made bridge built with collective skill gives substance to and demonstrates man's capacity to CONQUER OBSTACLES and to achieve evolutionary continuity as well as expansion in space.
