(EVOLUTION OF PATTERNS OF SYMBOLS)([&] DIAGONAL PERSONALITIES) [2nd May 1987]

[Redbook3:217-222][19870502:1025](EVOLUTION OF PATTERNS OF SYMBOLS)([&] DIAGONAL PERSONALITIES) [2nd May 1987]

19870502.1025

Slightly startled – when reading Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians – to be reminded that for Paul (and others), the 'Spirit of the Air' was* the Prince of Darkness, Satan – and indeed that all principalities, powers **and other Spirits were generally classified by many as evil. Thinking about this, however, enabled me to reconcile the clashing of symbols by a 'dynamic' approach to the evolution of the pattern. (See next three pages [= diagrams, below].)***

One feature emerging from this [series of diagrams] is the relative simplicity (and power) of xS and xA, whose symbols come direct from +C and +Mk, (hence the connection of both with Unity (e.g Love) and Distraction (e.g. Death); compared with the relative complexity (and energy?****) of xP and xL, whose symbols come via +K and +M in the third phase. This is reflected (albeit unconsciously) in their characters in [2].

*cf. 'The Queen of Air and Darkness' (TH White).

(cf. Also the link between xA/S~ and [+Mk/]A~ (practically anagrams) – and the Fall; like that [[i.e.]the link <930418>] of [xS/]R~ and [+Mk/]A~) <880307>

**{(See IV, early <891001>)}

***Clear light and Colours were added later <[87]0502>

But see V.... (Pascal's Triangle). <880806>

(These drawings are not to scale – and the degrees are inaccurately drawn.)

[The original diagrams on pp. 218-220 are in pencil, requiring scanning adjustment which has darkened the background.]
