6th degree of Aries (5°- 6°)ARIES 6
The desire to individuate is expressed as single-pointedness of focus towards a particular aim. We must convince our fellows that we are not their enemy, and find an aspect of who we are that meets with society’s requirements of us. And we must also convince ourselves that we can find a way to fit in authentically. Rudhyar: The emotional desire for concrete and stabilized existence as a person: ONE SIDED URGE FOR INNER STABILITY. |

The meaning of life is the relationship between knowledge and experience
This image employs traditional symbolism: a square indicates materiality, and the light is spirituality. We are all challenged to find an enlightened path as we struggle with physicality. A path must have meaning if it is to inspire and motivate us. We have an unending flow of different worldly experiences to assimilate into consciousness, which we can only achieve by giving meaning to experiences. How we choose to create meaning out of experience is entirely dependent upon our system of values and preferences. Those events that really touch us, and reach deep into the core of our being, do so because, on some level, they have importance and can stimulate hidden aspects to awaken within. Establishing our unique authentic identity really is a prodigious task. We are taken into states of confusion, timidity and indecision – all of which are the antithesis of spirit, whose essential nature is spontaneous, courageous and certain. Yet our thoughts waver, and even the best of us lose sight of what we are becoming. A set life-direction, based on passionately-held principles and adherence to standards, is of greater worth than one that lacks purpose or clarity. It is more useful to oneself and the community. It does take strength to assert oneself against the many forces that constantly push and pull from all sides, and we must not surrender to the frustrations that arise, or else the integrity of true self will be lost to distortion. At some level of spiritual philosophy, it is seen that everything is symbolic. Without the gift of knowledge, then experience is meaningless – yet without the reality-check of experience, then knowledge is not only unfulfilling, it is two-dimensional. Therefore can we see that knowledge is the symbol of experience, and experience the symbol of knowledge? Each is the meaning of the other, and neither has meaning without the other. |
