It is our belief that the astrological mandala is a fragment of an archaic wisdom, and was devised by the profoundly wise sages of the past. This mandala of the signs and planets is a rare instance--and product of--the archetypal imagination; it presents the topography of the subtle world through the forms available in sensible becoming.  This root symbol of astrology represents the formulation by reason principles of a symbolic method through which those very reason principles are being manifested. Reason principles are those living meanings or categories of thought that are the substantial aspect (forms) of the soul. (no audio)
