“The soul
is the Middle Way as it stands between and mediates the primary polarity of
life: Spirit and matter. The Soul therefore acts as an intermediary between the
Essence of Life and its various forms of manifestations. Thus Soul provides the
necessary channels through which consciousness may exteriorize and we may come
to know ourselves. The grace of this knowing is that in the process, each of us
comes to identify ourselves eventually as Divinity in manifestation. We learn
this through the frequently painful process of transformation. We thus grow and
develop until we finally realize that the quality of our consciousness, of our
Soul, is Love.” –A.Q.
Pisces
Two fish
connected by a cord facing opposite directions symbolizes the sign of
Pisces. Both of these
representations signify the duality of the separation of the soul and the
personality. The cord connecting the two fish is the Middle Way that allows
Unity to replace duality. Swimming in the waters of consciousness Pisces
struggles to fuse the lower and higher nature of self that is always at work in
our daily lives.
This
inner division is initially present, as the personality/ego has not yet learned
to yield to the call of the soul. Imprisoned and bound by form it is not free
to experience and express its own nature.
In our
everyday struggle to find balance and live with a purpose we wrestle with
living the call of the soul. This
is the grail of Pisces that each of us live whether or not we are born under
this sign.
Our
initial attempts to find peace from within will be sought outwardly. And in our
immaturity we will seek to satisfy the desires of the personality without any
knowing regard to the enslavement of the soul.
Each of
us has something that we are here to contribute and be in service of. Some of
us have a clearer picture of what that may be while others struggle to find
their clarity. Regardless of where we are at along the journey the Archetype of
Pisces is represented here.
As we
discover and follow our purpose we begin to release the agenda of the
personality and transform, allowing spirit to be our guide. Giving way to the
control of the personality the soul is then set free to do its work through us,
out in the world. It is here we are able to transform our lives and the lives
of others.
