XVII The Star

AHAAAAAAAAAAA

HOLY SHIT THAT’S IT! That dumb Tower was in the way. Look at the light coming off that thing. WHOOSH. Whoa. It’s gone, but you saw it, right? “The monk that achieves Satori goes to hell straighter than an arrow.” Zen ala Alan Watts - We just got zinged with clarity.

Wait. Why does the monk go to hell? Because satori is an instant enlightenment. If we try to grab it, we try to punch our fist or grab water - it only results in frustration. What did it even mean for you? Hope. You have good ideas. You get a clear mind. Chill! The seven - pointed star is the alchemist star - another symbol of growth in cycles. In terms of the alchemist, this star is a brief moment of fusion, but in that brief moment of brilliance, the alchemist sees where to go from here. The Star is the eye of a phoenix, whose body is all light in the spectrum. This light being is the rebirth. Cosmic Upgrade!
XVII Is the number of the Star. In it’s direction we find greater strength than before (1+7=8)
