Codex Fejervary-Mayer. http://www.tulane.edu/~latinlib/fejervar.html
This Mesoamerican painted manuscript
divides the world into five parts.
Holy trees symbolize the compass points:
east at the top, west on the bottom,
north to the left, and south to the right.
I knew since a very long time the difference between cardinal and fixed signs â?? more or less.
Cardinal sees the world as the source of reality. What you can see, is true. Fixed sees the source inside: what you know with your heart, is true. The inventor of the veil of Maya must have been very fixed.
But mutable was difficult. Probably because I am very mutable myself: 54%, 46% fixed and hardly any cardinal (of course percentages are only a indication). So I see the world as a place where one can learn a lot, but certainly not as anything close to truth.
Then Malka wrote in her mail (discussion, women in I Ching, Sept.21) about connected knowing as the third way to know, first and second being objective and subjective. Or in astrological terms cardinal and fixed.
Nobody is pure one or the other, always a mixture, but usually with the emphasis on one of them. Except Val of course, who is no sign. Maybe the god of fire and thunder in the center could be an image of Val?
I have the above picture hanging above my bed and it intrigues me a lot. I already saw the two figures facing each other at the four sides as cardinal and fixed. They are real solid human beings, and they mirror each other. Cardinal is consciously objective, but subconsciously fixed, and fixed is the other way around. They are worshiping the tree of life.
The plant-structures in between had to be the mutable, but I had no idea what qualities might belong to them.
Now it becomes clear: see the world, learn through it, combine it with your inner knowing, and grow. They look as if they climb instead of worshiping. Or maybe something like torches.
Has anyone an idea about the subconscious part of mutable? And does anyone know more about the meanings of the Mayan map of the cosmos?
Every human has the whole cycle/circle inside. Everyone has 12 houses, so one is not nailed to one of the figures. But everyone's inner painting looks different.
(This is all my own conjecture. I don't know if this 'mandala' means really these things)
