The Zodiac & the Perception of Unity
. . . no real understanding of the zodiac is possible without a perception of its unity. The zodiac is a symbol, in its complete form, of the human consciousness. But as this is equal to the All, made in God’s image so to speak, we also find in the zodiac the answer to many enigmas about our universe. These, as well as the mysteries of human consciousness, can only be unraveled on the basis of a unity of vision, of a sense of wholeness, of integrality. - Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet, The Magical Carousel, Commentaries, p. 84
Images Spherical and Cyclical Matrix
In September of 2007 I have made some additions and deletions to The Luminous Gallery. The Gallery now begins with an image of the Iris of the Human Eye. The HINT here is that our Iris is a microcosm of the macrocosm that we are capable of SEEING as a Truth-Conscious Matrix, as opposed to remaining ignorant of and blind to the Divine Nature of Matter and Material Existence. The Iris is followed by the Aries symbol of the Tropical Zodiac, as found in Nature. Aries is said to correspond (in terms of the body) to the eyes and is also found in the design of the human face (follow the nose up through the eyebrows), and in vertical explosions or spouts of water and life. The images as a whole are meant to give the viewer a sense of the spherical, circular and exquisite geometries inherent in matter and life.
The Modern View of Astrology & the Devaluation of Ancient Wisdom
In due course of Time, our modern views of astrology will be recognized as comically dim-witted. There is the view of the majority of scientists and other ‘objective’ intellectuals who criticize astrology as superstition and fantasy; and there is view of certain religions that astrology is somehow evil and a perversion of Divine will. There is also the view of many yogis and ‘progressive’, ‘post-modern’ and ‘integral’ thinkers who cannot, for the life of them, imagine that astrology has anything to do with anything in terms of developing a more integral awareness of our lives on planet Earth. And, of course, there is the view of many more ‘progressive’ and ‘new age’ thinkers, the view that astrology is a valid system by which to understand an individual’s life patterns, destiny and interrelations.
A Luminous NEW Blog
I have recently been helping design a blog site for Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet, and wrote the following description of the Blog and its name - 'The New Way'. I will publish the description here to help people find their way to that blog, which will publish more and more precious articles on Integral and Supramental world transformation.
The Supramental Change
The following article, 'The Supramental Change' by Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet, was first published in the Vishaal Newsletter in 1985. It has just been web-published on a new blog titled The New Way, after Ms. Norelli-Bachelet's books, 'The New Way, A Study in the Rise and Establishment of a Gnostic Society, Volumes 1-3'. The entire article is a bit too long for this space so I will publish it in part here. A link to the full article can be found at the bottom of this post.
