The idea of eternal recurrence affects with a shudder of alarm the mind entrenched in the minute, the hour, the years, the centuries, all the finite’s unreal defenses. But the strong soul conscious of its own immortal stuff and the inexhaustible ocean of its ever-flowing energies is seized by it with the thrill of an inconceivable rapture. It hears behind the thought the childlike laughter and ecstasy of the Infinite.
The birth chart symbolizes what the person potentially is and what he is meant to achieve, if he follows the instructions which, as it were, are coded in the pattern of the sky, as seen from the place and the exact moment of birth. Such an astrology is a language which can reveal the archetype of what the total person essentially is—the Form of his or her individuality. Man, conceived as a transcendent soul, is not outside the chart. He is, as an existential living and thinking-feeling organism, what the chart indicates he might be; indeed what he should be if he lives in tune with the universe.

Once you are conscious it means that you can distinguish and sift things—you can see which are the forces that pull you down and which help you on. And when you know the right from wrong, the true from false, the divine from the undivine, you are to act strictly upon your knowledge; that is to say, resolutely reject one and accept the other. The duality will present itself at every step and at every step you will have to make your choice. You will have to be patient and persistent and vigilant—sleepless, as the adepts say; you must always refuse to give any chance whatsoever to the undivine against the divine.
