If we imagine the Mount Olympus as a symbolic representation of the brain, it is possible to understand the difference between the system of Jupiter and Saturn scheme. Saturn governs the construction of the material world, cities, markets, economy and science that supports technological innovation.
is depicted with a sickle in his hand as the God of rationality for the aims and mowing does not hesitate to kill their children who disobey the law, the authorities, pincipi moral dogmas of the Church. Human Civilization "begins" 5000 years ago when he kills his father Uranus, Saturn (the mythical age), while the concept of progress, the practice of power and the pursuit of wealth starts (metaphorically) when Prometheus steals fire Technical inaugurating the age of logic, geometry, abstract thinking, writing and the market economy.
Prometheus closes the mythical age characterized by the arbitrary power of the gods to open the historical period characterized by 'power' that man gains through the rationalization of natural resources, human and economic. Knowing how to care for themselves and be self requires the development of a sense of special responsibility of the faculties of the left hemisphere, at the same time requires the ability to sacrifice, renunciation and abstinence in view of a better future (Saturn rules the sign of 'Aquarius, represented by a woman with a vase) and the ability to organize and manage their own resources and those of others in order to achieve maximum profit with minimum effort (the sign of Capricorn, the goat).
to civilization, technological progress and economic growth with the liberation from want, from the system of traditional beliefs, taboos and fears of a possible ancestral divine punishment. Rational thought, however, do not forget the greek mythical dimension in outcrops that dot the archetypes of the human psyche.
While the Enlightenment reason deprives man of the faculties of memory and triggers the mechanism of soothing nostalgia, so we look to the past as a lost childhood innocence of the "human brain", the greek thought, and then Renaissance maintains the link with the symbolic and spiritual dimension that emerges from the narrative of the myths contained in the legends, tragedies, in poems, poems and oral tales of TRADITION.
It is no coincidence that by the end of the seventeenth century began to appear in art expressions nostalgic of the past as the ruins of antiquity, the ruins of previous civilizations, and are in evidence everywhere pastoral paintings characterized by the simplicity of rural pleasures, where an idyllic view of nature is now seen as a vision impossible after the intervention of man-made forces that have promoted the progress.
The merits of Saturn are before our eyes. There is no need to deny the virtues of streamlining thought. No one has ever done, especially the Greeks and Romans, although it remains in the collective subconscious the need to balance a life aimed at achieving goals, goods and pleasures with the virtues inspired by religion, philosophy and art. The left hemisphere is not happy. The House Doctor, fine and brilliant representative of the binary logic that includes or excludes the disease through a methodology based on empirical testing of hypotheses, does not feel happy and abusing drugs, beverages, stimulants and alternative forms of physical pleasure, sensory and emotional.
Unhappiness saturnine evolve socially in nostalgia and utopia, while the individual falls into a state of depression, sadness, disappointment and melancholy. Aeschylus (Prometheus Bound) is to pronounce the words to Prometheus: "I've made, from infants who were rational and masters of their minds," but this is only a first step of evolution. "It 's now a profound transformation nessario anthropological able to dismiss the man with the nostalgia (and depression), to open the design and prediction" (Galimberti, Psyche and techno)
culture has only recently realized that the meaning of life is not found in the symbols that stir the subconscious. The pharmacology of psychiatric, psychological therapy and psychoanalytical analysis can only ease the pain, suffering and anguish felt by the "saturnine castration" that there is no split between the two hemispheres of the brain, but discursive reason relegates the "feminine" conquered by the Greek philosophers and artists of the Renaissance, in the rooms of libraries or museums, and by analogy, in some rooms of our brain.
For at least four centuries, the discursive reason, the peculiar arrangement of Zeus, a model of perfection, wisdom and humanity, has been forgotten and confined in places of no less than institutionalized culture of an animal in a zoo. Is there a different way of conducting the rationale to pursue the aims and goals necessary to envisage the soul to enjoy life in all its aspects. The rationality of women, by nature of metamorphosis daughter of Zeus, the model is still practiced by couples and families are wealthy.
However, there is extraordinary potential of women's discursive reason to change not only the material and psychological conditions of individuals, but also cultural and spiritual, and, by extension, economic and productive. The left hemisphere of women (Zeus) is different from that of men (Saturn). Women are inclined to integrate the experiences of the past, memory, emotions and rational morality of mothers within each decision, while the male rationality (Saturn) tends to separate, discriminate, distinguish, sever ties, the first act to perceive, etc. ....
Unfortunately, the women's literature is still concentrated to point out the differences in psychological, ethical and moral women than men, and to analyze the different forms of language. Culturally we are zero. Politically we are zero. Socially we are zero. Too busy ape men while the left hemisphere to excel and make our way, we pay the price bitterly of having to give up the creative imagination of Zeus, the divine faculty that combines love and money, success and happiness, knowledge and culture.
Yet the rational left hemisphere of the Greek philosophers and Renaissance artists created works of great beauty, spiritual and psychological knowledge of human nature, understanding the nature and especially rational use of archetypes in the process of project preparation and expectations.
The archetype as a symbol, anticipated actions, feelings and thoughts of humans. You can predict what will happen tomorrow if we can use the discursive logic, symbolic and abstract, female, in order to regulate the perception on certain elements rather than others.
The meaning of our life is not the symbols that define our economic status or cultural ignorance exhibited by now by all, but of things "inner" invested by the perception in its symbolic action (see the post on the "inner perception") . In fact, the anticipation is invested by the sensory perception of things women to bring out the meaning of reality (Venus in Aquarius is the celebrated Venus Urania loved by the artists), but this anticipation is symbolic event.
culture influenced by the female gaze creates symbolic events all the time. It is women who determine the success of the books and artists. It is women who move the aesthetic taste and determine the renewal of the material needs of the soul. But if the soul evolves only in the symbolic dimension, it happens that the reality is in all its "infinite ugliness" and feels the need to go looking for something really nice, helpful and just for our happiness.
What seems beautiful and attractive now, instead, becomes the symbol of our inability to create beauty and wealth. It 'just think about things' investment' in our eyes to understand that we do not decide what to do in life, but that part of the brain that is concerned to support the soul in the process of metamorphosis.
should have "self confidence" to represent the soul in the world through their own complex and particular deployment of symbols. The common ground all the time, first through the eyes and then through the words of the 'heart'. Who listens to the soul and becomes the body, mind and intellect, becomes the supreme Self, the Universal Absolute, then described by the Vedic scriptures 5000 years ago.
alchemical philosophy stems from discursive reason and not by rational speculation made through words organized into abstract concepts more difficult to understand. They are two different things, as different from the soul is the brain lit up by the brain lit up by the ego. (See the film "Matrix")
Fairy tales teach most of the philosophy of Kant and get to the heart without any mediation. Yet the Gospel, the most successful model of alchemical art, gains new meaning when read as a metaphor for the adventure of the soul within the body / identity / left brain, too bad for 500 years there is always someone more intelligent and other scholar to interpret literally.
Christ is a model of self redemption the temptation to exercise the will, power and greed associated with the potential of the left hemisphere to dominate matter and nature, but the range to explain to Catholics and women are exempt from this danger and have no intention of staying the scapegoat permanent sexist culture that limits women to subordinate roles intellect, ego and tutoring fallback saturnine.
