Excerpt from “How and Why I am making the Empress,” by The Emperor:

“never create and analyze at the same time, these are two different processes”

gaia created the earth. uranus analyzed it. which one endured? which one was seen with reverence? uranus, destroyed by his own son saturn- god of time and structure and material reality.

the manifesting current relies on limitation and constraints. any act of creation is a miracle. transcendence is not always the way forward. your root chakra must be open before you can open the crown. a beautiful roof means nothing without a good foundation.

mind, body, spirit.
