Astrological Mythology The Meaning of ... - Mandhata Global

It is possible to increase the dimension of the circumference if the length of
the radius is altered, but all such circles remain concentric with the identical
central point. Moreover, as long a circumference is not assumed, the central
point becomes meaningless; it loses its very referal existence. When the
outer circle and the central point are both specified, the relationship between
the manifest universe and the primeval cause is already postulated. Given
the circumference, the central point can always be located. Thus this symbol
suggests the all pervasive nature of the Sun. Whatever exists in
manifestation is the result of solar radiation, and the Sun includes within
itself every aspect of manifestation and
nourishes it.
Second, the symbol emphasizes the fact that the circumference is necessarily
an outcome of the central point. Without the central point there cannot be
any circumference. In fact, the expansion of the central point itself becomes
the outer circle. The central point demonstrates another important inner law
— all objective forms are merely externalizations of the subjective essence.
The point itself is non-existent in the true geometrical sense. A real
geometrical point has no dimension at all and in this sense cannot be
perceived. But the point shown in the Sun-symbol informs us that the Sun
externalizes subjective into objective form. Evolution is a process by which
what lies hidden within is made evident without, what is at the core expands
and blossoms to the periphery.
Third, there is always a direction to the solar impact. In all movement,
whether from the central point to the circumference, or along the outer ring
itself, there is a direction that can be accurately traced. There is nothing
random. The central direction may be the exlernalization of an inner
potential, or an evolutionary impetus within the externalized life form. The
circularity of the outer ring represents, during its downward movement from
the top, the immersion of the soul in materiality, which having reached the
densest physical sheath moves back upwards to its primeval state of purity
and spirituality (see pp. 27-33).
Fourth, there is rhythmic movement in the symbol. The relationship between
the center and circumference, and between the different points on the
curvature of the circumference, show perfect symmetry and coordinated
movement. They form a beautiful pattern of dynamic change. In all solar
action, whether diurnal, annual or seasonal, or connected with the pattern of
growth in living beings, there is perfect order. This orderliness enables
scientists to discover the hidden laws of nature. The orderliness of the solar
influence is characteristic of the Sun and a guiding principle under which it
operates. It ensures predictability and effective
