PHASE 310 (AQUARIUS 10°): A MAN WHO HAD FOR A TIME BECOME THE EMBODIMENT OF A POPULAR IDEAL IS MADE TO REALIZE THAT AS A PERSON HE IS NOT THIS IDEAL.

KEYNOTE: The need to deal with human beings as persons rather than as screens upon which one projects one's dream and ideal.

Here we have a final statement on the relationship between  mental-spiritual vision and living reality, between persons and the ideal they appear to incarnate, between the "great lover Image" and one's need for love—a love his presence stimulated and aroused. The "star" on the movie screen is not the actual person. The star's popularity fades away, the person remains. What has this episode of popularity actually done to the person? This is a question that can be applied to a great variety of circumstances.

This fifth symbol in the sixty-second sequence brings to our attention an issue that is basic and may confront us in various forms. Person versus archetype. This can mean a critical need for SELF-REEVALUATION.

Aquarius 09°: A flag is seen turning into an eagle.

PHASE 309 (AQUARIUS 09°): A FLAG IS SEEN TURNING INTO AN EAGLE.

KEYNOTE: The dynamic incorporation of new social values in individuals who exemplify the spiritual potential and greatest significance of these values.

This symbol nearly duplicates the one for Sagittarius 12°, but in this five-fold sequence it has a somewhat different meaning—especially since the last term of the mysterious transformation (i.e. the crowing of the eagle in chanticleer's fashion) is omitted. All that is implied here is the vitalization of a  powerful symbol, its embodiment in a living reality, i.e. in a person able to fly in consciousness to the highest spiritual realm. The archetype is given living substance and wings. The Image has become a Power.

This fourth stage symbol, as usual, gives us a technical suggestion. To "see" the new archetype, t o perceive the new standard of value with one's mind is not enough. The seer must become the doer. the impersonal is dynamized and brought into focus. We have here the ACTING OUT of the vision.

PHASE 308 (AQUARIUS 08°): BEAUTIFULLY GOWNED WAX FIGURES ON DISPLAY.

KEYNOTE: The inspiration one may derive from the appearance of Exemplars who present to us the archetypes of a new culture.

We are dealing here with the fixed symbols upon which a culture is based, with mental archetypes. They are kept and made available as patterns to imitate, or at least from which to draw new motives for inspiration. We are at the stage of vision: new forms are revealed to the consciousness, as well as new ways of meeting other people in social relationships.

This is the third stage in the sixty-second sequence of five symbols. In a sense the generic human past and the future are implied here. The wax figures are impersonal forms. The gowns constitute a static presentation of ideal patterns; yet they are the PREFORMATION of what will be experienced in the culture being born. They herald new collective developments.

#2¢—Girlcapsule's Response:

The relevance of today's symbol is having a strong psycho-somatic effect on my person. I am feeling astonishment as I take it in, mostly. I am fascinated to meditate on the transdimensional juiciness implied in this language: "...from the appearance of Exemplars who present to us..."

It reminds me of an account Grof shares in The Adventures of Self-Discovery where he so skillfully gives language to a similar thought—though in Grof's case it was a first person account of a mythic vision experienced in a mystic|shamanic flavor of an altered-state of consciousness. I will quote this out once my books are back on their shelves in my new place of residence—still a bit in the future to me now.

Aquarius 07°: A child is seen being born out of an egg.

PHASE 307 (AQUARIUS 07°): A CHILD IS SEEN BEING BORN OUT OF AN EGG.

KEYNOTE: The emergence of new mutations according to the great rhythms of the cosmos.

The ancient symbolism of the Cosmic Egg (Hiranyagharba  हिरण्यगर्भ in Sanskrit) out of which a new universe is born can be interpreted at several levels. Here we see the appearance of a of human being who is not born from "Ancestors" and who therefore is free from the inertia of mankind's past. He is a new product of evolution, a mutant . He constitutes a fresh projection of the creative Spirit that emanates from the cosmic or planetary Whole, and not from any local culture and racial tradition.


This second stage symbol is in contrast with the preceding one. It can be said to announce the EMERGENCE OF GLOBAL MAN for the New Age. The power of the whole is focused within him in perfect freedom from ancient standards of value based on local conditions.

Girlcapsule's 2¢:

These thoughts are coming a day late within the framework of this process. What is so inspiring to me about this process is that it has a kind of breathing in relationship to me and my participation in it. It has withdrawn from me a bit over the last several posts...I don't try to conceal this. I have written very little, and the photos are seemingly irrelevant—for the most part.

I have chosen to accept the current state of things need not suffer in accordance with my emotional state. With this self-reflective realization, in my opinion, I have been rewarded with a beautiful reemergence of the #BlueSnake theme. Please forgive the hash-tag and symbols (i.e. 2¢ instead of two-cents, and the number-sign # as a twitter-esque tracking strategy) I am exploring ways of technically linking themes in this work through Alt Code and Hash-Tag strategies.

Back to the Blue-Snake theme...here are some images:

The images above are across from each other, the blue snake observes the stroking of the devil's golden hair by some female ancestral figure...the archetypal mother of a grown man who is no longer innocent.

Here's something else that came up—further sign that this process is back in business, so to say:

The book on the left is by Taschen and is called The Book of Symbols: Reflections on Archetypal Images.  The information in this book is provided by The Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism.

The other elements are a secret encoded message for just one person's witnessing. This is also a strategy I am exploring as I think about the moment when I must stand before my dissertation committee and defend myself to those appearing for this event while trying not to have an aneurysm. I guess it's good to get an early start in encoding the depth of my gratitude to those who will be sitting in support of me.

Aquarius 06°: A masked figure performs ritualistic acts in a mystery play.

SECOND LEVEL: EMOTIONAL-CULTURAL

PHASE 306 (AQUARIUS 06°): A MASKED FIGURE PERFORMS RITUALISTIC ACTS IN A MYSTERY PLAY.

KEYNOTE: The individual's involvement in long-established patterns of activity aiming at the release of collective power.

The great Mysteries of the past were created by inspired Seers and Adepts for the purpose of transferring to a mentally conscious and humanly significant level of group operation what in the lower kingdoms of life we call instincts. Biological and cosmic energies can thus be used to ensure that social processes do not lose touch with the deeper realities of planetary and universal Life. Rituals are binding, and often the performers wear masks, for they do not act as human persons but as focal points for the release of transpersonal forces.

This first symbol of the sixty-second five-fold sequence presents to us social processes in their deepest occult aspect. The individual is seen having assumed a TRANSPERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Aquarius 05°: A council of ancestors is seen implementing the efforts of a young leader.

PHASE 305 (AQUARIUS 05°): A COUNCIL OF ANCESTORS IS SEEN IMPLEMENTING THE EFFORTS OF A YOUNG LEADER.

KEYNOTE: The Root foundation of past performances which power and sustain whatever decision is made in a crisis by an individual.

The whole past of mankind stands behind any individual effort, especially in times of critical decisions. The endeavor of the priests who built the California missions had behind it the whole past of Catholic proselytizing, i.e. the attempt to bring the "Good News" to all people of the Earth. Every individual is far more dependent upon the strength of his ancestors' achievements—or oppressed by their failures and lack of vision—than he usually believes. This can mean a hidden foundation of individual strength, or the inertia of a tradition unable to transcend its limited origins.

This is the last symbol in the sixty-first five-fold sequence. It suggests that in many situations RELIANCE UPON PRECEDENTS will enable the aspirant to greatness to tap the power of his deepest roots.

PHASE 304 (AQUARIUS 04°): A HINDU YOGI DEMONSTRATES HIS HEALING POWERS.

KEYNOTE: The disciplined use of spiritual energies in restoring the natural harmony disturbed by man's inharmonic attempts to transcend nature through mind.

Civilization implies a process of transcending compulsive and rigid biological drives while making use, in a refined and mentalized way, of what it cannot control. The goal of a true civilization—Western civilization being to a large extent a caricature of it—is the development of a  humanity composed of self-motivated and responsible individuals freely associating according to harmonic patterns in order to produce a vast spiritual chord of consciousness fully actualizing the potentialities inherent in the archetype, MAN. The process of individualization and civilization is full of dangers, and for a very long time it is obsessed by karmic shadows, the results of individual and collective deviations and perversions. Such results most often lead to disease. It is the spiritual duty of individuals who have been able to tap the vast reservoir of spiritual forces pervading our planet to use these energies for healing their less-fortunate comrades.

This fourth stage symbol refers to a technique which not only can be used for the healing of physical illnesses but for the "making whole" of whatever has lost its natural root integration and has not yet reached the holistic state of perfect harmony and identification with the "divine" whole. Self-discipline, purity of motive, compassion, faith in the divine order are required—and the FOCUSING OF SPIRITUAL ENERGY.
