A new beginning

I come here today to share with you something, which this year has started for me.

had 3 years ago I painted in the study of the zodiac and the 12 holy nights, a picture which I had later here set.

Actually I had this morning only planned to draw an animal circle of virtues as specified in Robert Powell in ' Cosmic Dance of the Zodiac .

But after I finished, had seemed like the whole thing still empty, still not quite finished, yet extensible, so I have the picture from 3 years ago there are now added in a changed form.

And now the whole thing looks like this:



This image can now be much more present and available than it was in the first.
Unfortunately, you can see the qualities in the individual zodiac signs here in the photo
.

only once as an example of the assignments of the five-star:

Aries: Devotion (right foot) but not exaggerated as subservience (left hand)
with
confidence (left foot ) but not exaggerated as arrogance (right hand)
will
sacrifice power. then

When I wanted to look in "flower of life" Part 2, I construct the eye may be correct and not just draw, I found this:



(Source: " Flower of Life "Part 2, S.300) shows

it as akurrat the Pyramids of Giza, along with the now destroyed Giza complex located on a spiral. This spiral there that has its origin not in the center of the zodiac. In this respect I'm still not arrived, then, and the journey can always go further.

also Originally there has yet to be another exactly opposite spiral that led out into the desert.

Another picture, on which will be shown a way how the "male" and "female" are spiral unite, which provided Volume 1 of "Flower of Life" .
