The invitation to open to our experience—whatever it is from moment to moment—is always there, no matter how many times we need to rediscover it.
—Aura Glaser
Mann assigns this Princess/Page the alchemical symbol and a mandala of the earth. Hers is a pure experience of physicality. She is an excellent student because she doesn't muddle up what she is experiencing through her senses - there is no like/dislike, only what is here now. She doesn't get stuck in mental calisthenics and miss what is happening, she is there to explore and learn. The Sabian Symbol describes a mermaid climbing atop a rocky shore where she waits for a prince to bring her immortality. How many times have smart, practical young women suddenly ditched everything they worked hard for and hitched their star to a male? Suddenly their integrity and self-worth become dependent on an outside source, not on their own inherent worth. That mermaid needs to get her tail back in that ocean and swim in the opposite direction.
So many times to repeat some lessons.
