Chapter 3
Revolution
In 1789 Uranus was discovered by some astronomers peering through
telescopes. What is interesting is that Uranus is, and presumably
was then, visible to the naked eye.
But, somehow, Uranus was not noticed until 1789. Hmmm.
consciousness correlation
It can be easily shown that planets' discoveries parallel those
changes in human consciousness that reflect the symbolic meaning of the
planetary archetype.
Uranus was discovered, brought into collective human awareness, only
after a period of revolution stirred by the rise of human consciousness,
based on the rights of the individual to decide aspects of his/her fate
that had previously been decided by monarchies and priesthoods.
