The first step in making an omelette is breaking the eggs. |
While a firestorm rages over the earth, and all seems to be destroyed, there is a new being hidden in the depths, a new life which will emerge in the "fullness of time." |
"The eyes of the centuries are upon you." |
"How can anyone see straight when he does not even see himself and the darkness he unconsciously carries with him into all his dealings?" |
"If God is kind, he will send us a neurosis." |
"One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious. The latter procedure, however, is disagreeable, and therefore not popular." |
Wisdom looks out over a dark world, in which there is only a glimmer of light. But the wisdom symbolized by this huge owl is there for all who have eyes to see. |
Like the phoenix, new life emerges from the ashes. |
