Audio transcript:
"Contemplate the 2 wavy "W's" of Aquarius and we see that they
resonate against each other, in a sort of polarity - two forces. Now, listen to
the Priestess and we'll go dreamy: "we see a winged Goddess holding a mighty
urn, from which pours a stream of life forms of which we can discern fishes,
animals, plants, rocks, elementals, humans. A laughing God behind the Goddess
draws power upon them with his trident. Look at this - imagine the most
beautiful Goddess you can imagine with mighty wings and she has this urn, and
imagine all life forms, even the oddest, you know - lizards, insects, fear
viruses, crystals, giraffes, weird creatures from other planets. We could go on
looking at this stream of life forever. All sorts of fabled creatures are here,
which exist somewhere, or we wouldn't have thought of them. Look. And as we
are, we see a God behind her drawing power, sharing it with her, with his
trident. And that trident also seems to have a meaning. The positive and
negative forces are held together by the central spike, as it were. And we gaze
upon the stars of Aquarius, set in the Sea of Heaven. Know that the ancients
wanted us to see these visions, so they attached these visions to the
constellations, that we may attain Stellar Consciousness."
