SELF UNDERSTANDING
"Man's task is to become conscious of the contents that
press upward from the unconscious. "- Carl Jung
"A true knowledge of ourselves is knowledge of our power." - Mark Rutherford

Astrology has given me a way to access my subconscious.
A doorway into the realm where archetypes and dream images dwell,
the place where the lens through which I view my world
is either warped, or polished.
Pure intellect alone could not have given me entry into that world,
for shaman like, I have journeyed into that realm,
only to have lost my visions on the threshold of consciousness.
Astrology as a symbolic language enables me
to carry my discoveries safely back,
so that my mind can then set about interpreting the images
that are my messages to myself.
