"The task of man would be ... to what comes from the
unconscious, to become aware of it, instead of being
unconscious about it or to remain identical with it.
In both cases, he would be unfaithful to his purpose
of creating awareness. As far as we can tell, it is the
only meaning of human existence to light a light
in the darkness of mere being. It is even to be
assumed, that, as the unconscious affects us, so too
the multiplicationof our consciousness on the
unconscious.“
C.G.JUNG, Memories, Dreams, Thoughts, p. 329.
This attempt did not come about because I really wanted to write a book.
In fact, it has never pushed me in my life to sit hour after hour in concentrated lack of movement in front of a typewriter or a computer keyboard. (As is the case now).
I wouldn't have even known what great things I would have had to share, I'm clearly poor in ideas for fantasy stories.
But when, towards the end of the nineties, after twenty years of astrology-madness and astrology-sobriety, very unexpected insights came to me, I became aware that I was beginning to become a kind of bearer of secrets. Lonely against my will - with whom, except for a few students, could I share what I discovered – but who could also benefit from what I discovered, as long as it was only kept "in my chest"?
Of necessity, I had to learn to write, accept the lack of movement in front of the computer and compensate with walks in order to somehow bring the unexpected piece of world knowledge that had fallen to me closer to the consciousness of the general public. The present experiment is the result of the work of the last five years. (2005) It contains neither more nor less than elements of a newly discovered calendar.
I had discovered a kind of mysterious reflection. She used to show herself when I came up with a picture that aptly summed up a historical situation. This reflection then reflected the simultaneity of 1. an event, 2. a celestial position on the day of the event, 3. the position of a "royal star", and 4. last not least, my consciousness attending the event. The situation could be represented in the following quaternio [1] or cross of opposites:
Since an idea is something that happens to one that can neither be forced nor directed, an autonomous act of the unconscious self betrays itself in the idea, which with this idea expresses that it is interested in a piece of attachment to consciousness.
And again and again the unconscious has surprised me in recent years with its precision and its 'knowledge'.
The most recent example occurred when I thought of Athens at the time of the Battle of Salamis, so I read a little in Ranke's "World History" for a snack.
In the Gulf of Salamis, not far from Athens, in 480 BC, the Persian world power, to its own excessive surprise, was annihilatingly defeated by the fleet of the Greeks led by the Athenians.
But it was not about this battle itself that I was interested, but about what happened before. To make a long story short: the Athenians, in view of the impending Persian invasion, asked the oracle at Delphi. This one replied:
"Wretches, are you still sitting there? Arise, flee to the ends of the earth...“ (Herodotus, Book VII, 140).
The completely shocked took advice and, with olive branches in their hands, went to the oracle a second time as a supplicant for protection. This time there was a faint glimmer of hope:
"behind the wooden wall"
only protection can be obtained. Wondering what was meant by that? Against the interpretation of the oracle interpreters, the Athenians finally decided to interpret one of the nobles of their city, Themistocles: the wooden walls should be interpreted as ship walls.
Thus, when the Persians arrived, Athens was evacuated, and the defensive part of its citizens found themselves on those hundreds of ships, for the construction of which the Athenians, on the advice of Themistocles, had previously invested the riches gained by newly opened silver mines.
This story raised the question in me: what might it have looked like in the sky when an entire city retreated to the sea in a certain way? What did it look like in the sky, the amphibious city? According to astrological classification, the answer can only come from the following stars: from Taurus-Venus = the city, and from Pisces - Neptune = the sea.
