The Janus Condition

(I've been studying Janus in lieu of, and incidentally because of winter. Here's some reflections.)

The Janus experience is twilight. He exists in Winter. He lives in the bear cave. He's the lynchian abstract. To have him evoked in us is to bring us to a neutrality where good and evil are one, where time and timelessness meet. He works through Libra and Saturn, (hence saturn's exaltation in Libra). We invoke him to bring us to our senses. When we're balanced we're no longer under control of impulse. When we reflect instead of react Janus appears to show us what happens; i.e., If I see a possum pass I get the urge to scare it, I don't, (I observe), something scares it anyway. That's Janus teaching me.

Janus teaches us to de-polarize; simplify; look at life for the "in-between." He gives occult observation. It's like looking at the stars with everyone and going ooh, and you think, is the space between the stars alive? It's those weird situations we get ourselves into that teach us beyond-the-veil-ism. And it's the people who accept others for their uniqueness. 

Ultimately he teaches us occult science.

He corresponds to the sense of "hearing", winter, Capricorn, and the emerald green Ray (5).  

Alternatively, lack of this "force"  causes deafness, idiocy.

Angels: the Elohim are Stars

These guys are angels of formation. "I Am" is the single greatest declaration. The Elohim act on the crown chakra to open you up to "becoming."I can think of an example. Learning a new detail about someone adds depth of character. They also are the airwaves, in the sense that if a star looks down on you, it'll work upon your mind. The interface is physical air, and air of the wise. The visual is to imagine the stars speaking to your unconscious as you move through time and space.  Elohim correspond to netzach-venus and are thus partly air spirits; and, if, as Rudolf Steiner says, they aren't angels but "Dynamises," higher ranking spirits, then they may accord to Briah, the world of "archangels."

"Experiment!" [Anthroposophy]

I did a bio-layman experiment. Hah. I put out eggs on a plate in my backyard to see if a snake would take the bait. What I learned might not surprise you, but since I'm new to life I learned that patience is a virtue of the animal kingdom. Hah. Not one animal touched it up until day 2 1/2 and it was only two or three ants.  By day three they started eating soft, nasty, jelly like eggs. I hate being gross but I bring that part up because a virtue is a curse if it's done to excess. This brings me to Steiner.  In his lectures he references a French writer (De Musset) and Boehme as night and day. One is electrified by a slow, drudging world. The other is comforted by it and calls it patient.  Now I'm not sure what my point is here. I just want to say do your experiments. Find out what life is about.  My lens is astrological. If I see De Musset I see a racehorse. If I see Boehme I see me, because I am also a Taurus like he was. And to me in light of this, Ahriman, Lucifer...
