以下摘自Barbara Hand Clown《 Chiron: Rainbow Bridge Between The Inner & Outer Planets》一書。
A meditator is in a yoga pose. The instructor walks over to the body holding the position with each limb in place. She adjusts the spine just slightly and the person is in perfect position. The breath floods the body with prana and the meditator knows illumination for just a moment, but never forgets.
譯文:一位冥想者正處於瑜伽體位中,四肢都放在對應的位置上。導師走到其身旁,輕輕調整其脊柱,冥想者便處於最佳體式,呼吸將身體浸潤在宇宙能量之中。一刻間,冥想者靈光乍現,但永世不忘。
A man is fishing for trout with tiny flies. He sits quietly in the boat, the gear is perfectly poised. The man watches the water reflecting the sky, intuitively connecting with the movements of the brown trout under the water. He casts the tiny fly directly over the water beast, the beast rises to strike the fly, and the man pulls back the line hard, deeply imbedding the hook into the fish's mouth.
譯文:一個男人正用小假蠅釣鱒魚。他安靜的坐在船上,設備安置妥當。他默默注視著映射天空的湖面,本能的感受著水面下棕色鱒魚的一舉一動。隨後把蠅餌直接擲在這些水下大傢伙的正上方。終於,大傢伙遊上來咬住魚餌,男人猛拉魚繩,魚鉤把魚嘴死死鉤住。
A musician is playing Bach's Three-Part Inventions. Her hands are so perfectly trained that she is no longer conscious of her fingers striking the keys. Her eyes are so focused on the music that she no longer is thinking. The music comes out of her as if Bach existed in her essence.
譯文:一位樂手正在演奏巴赫三部創意曲。她訓練有素,敲擊琴鍵時忘了雙手的存在。她的眼睛專注於樂譜,大腦的思考也完全停止。她的演奏,如同被巴赫附體一般。
You are casting a natal chart. You know the meaning of each planetary energy, aspect, and house so completely that you no longer think of the verbal or imagistic meanings. You feel each part of the chart in your body as your mind comprehends the meanings and is busy integrating all the parts into a whole. Suddenly your system shudders with orgasmic pleasure when you grasp the incarnational search of the soul revealed on paper in front of you.
譯文:你打開一張星圖。你對行星、相位、宮位的認知如此透徹,以至於不必思考文字或意象上的解釋。當你深入理解並專注於將所有碎片整合為一體時,你會透過你的身體感受到星盤的每一部分。突然間,你的身體如感受高潮般顫慄,這個靈魂此生的天命透過星盤躍然紙上。
The same can be described of the Tarot reader doing a reading. Saturn form is completed, Uranian awareness exists for a second, and then illumination manifests.
譯文:塔羅師的解讀過程如出一轍。土星代表的架構一旦完成,天王星代表的覺察便刹那間發生,於是靈光乍現。
譯後語:
我聽說, 有的占星師在解盤或諮詢前會打坐, 有的會冥想, 有的會念咒。 願更多的人, 帶著敬畏、專注,和靈性, 去體悟每一個星盤, 每一個靈魂。
