“From the sacred to the profane. For Hollywood photographer Matthew Rolston’s 1990 Interview Magazine photo shoot of Keanu Reeves, he chose to weave symbols of fetish and sexual objectification into his portrayal of the young star’s allure, pointing out Hollywood’s objectification of its latest sex symbol.”

“If, after having studied astrology and his exactly-calculated birth chart, a person for the first time realizes that the sequence of his life-events, which had so far seemed to him utterly chaotic and purposeless, makes sense - if as a result of the study, he is able to feel a direction and purpose inherent in his life as an individual, and how he had been blocking this realization of meaning, orientation, and purposefulness - then astrology is “existentially proven” to be effective in this particular case.”

Carl Jung said whenever we encounter something mysterious we project our own assumptions onto it. We tell ourselves things about it that make sense to us— and have nothing whatsoever to do with what we experience.

We create a religion and talk about “the man upstairs.” There is no man. There are no stairs. Jung also said, “In each of us there is another whom we do not know.” He is speaking of the Deep Self in the unconscious psyche.

We project outward what is inward, and seek “out there” beyond the cosmos, the source of consolation and reassurance— that ever-present help in time of trouble— that dwells within. To access The One Who Knows within, we have to learn the language of soul, and become friends with silent reflection, holding in our awareness, the full truth of the present moment, and see what occurs to us, what draws us forth into the field of action.
