DURING THE CLASSES:

I. Teacher's opening speech.

Hello guys. ( A musical excerpt from “The Nutcracker” by P.I. is played. Tchaikovsky. The teacher continues to speak with music in the background.).

Guys, I hear music! Can you hear her?

What is she like? ( Children's answers)

Indeed, this music is magical, fabulous. Where is she calling? ( Children's answers)

To a fairyland where good and evil live. And today in the lesson we will try to depict good and evil using symbols. And a fairy tale will help us with this.

Do you love fairy tales?

Then I will be happy to tell you a fairy tale. Sit back and be attentive. After all, everything you hear will be useful to you in your work.

The fairy tale begins...

The teacher tells the entire story against the backdrop of music. At the beginning there is magical music.

In one kingdom-state, a wise king ruled. And he was a great lover of sea travel. Majestically and importantly, the royal fleet plied the waters of the endless sea. The rowers and sailors were famous for their courage and bravery. Thousands of residents saw off the brave travelers early in the morning and greeted them when the crimson sunset spread over the city.

To the sound of the sea and the cries of seagulls, the fairy tale continues.

One day the royal fleet was returning from a long voyage. The masts creaked, the ropes pulled tight; the wind blew the colorful sails of the ships. Standing at the stern, the king admired the blue of the endless sea. Suddenly a ship appeared on the horizon. He was quickly approaching the royal fleet. No matter how much the king peered into the sails swelling in the wind, no matter how much he tried to make out the flag on the top of the wooden mast, he could not understand who was sailing towards them. He just felt that this meeting did not bode well for them.

Pirates attacked the royal fleet. With noise and screams they flew into a large ship, surrounded the rowers, and grabbed the king. There was nowhere to wait for salvation. The prisoners were taken to the pirate island.

A musical excerpt from the cycle “Seasons” by P.I. is played. Tchaikovsky.

In vain the inhabitants of the kingdom of the state waited for their king, in vain they peered into the horizon of the endless sea. The scarlet sun disappeared, night fell on the city, enveloping it in its starry blanket. The royal fleet did not return. The residents realized that something bad had happened. They realized that it had been captured by pirates. The inhabitants of the city were saddened: the king was kind and fair...

The king's son began to grow up. His mother told him a sad story. And he swore an oath to free his father. The strongest and bravest people came from all over the kingdom-state; the most skilled craftsmen began to build a new fleet.

The tale continues to the sound of the sea and the cries of seagulls.

And again the brave rowers took the oars, the wind whistled again, inflating the sails. The prince's fleet sailed majestically and importantly to meet the insidious pirates.

The ships sailed on the sea for a long time, and finally, an island appeared as a black dot in the distance. But before the brave travelers had time to approach him, a fleet of pirates was already sailing towards them.

Music I.O. Dunaevsky from the film “Children of Captain Grant”.

The distance between the ships was decreasing every minute. One could already see the flags on the tops of the high masts and see how the sails were decorated. But there was no time to admire all this: the prince and his brave friends prepared to meet the pirates.

The fairy tale ends against the backdrop of magical music.

The fairy tale ended happily. The prince fulfilled his oath: the pirate fleet was destroyed. The king and his son returned to his state. And from that time on, the fame of brave sailors spread all over the world...

II. Conversation with students.

Teacher. But our fairy tale lesson is not over yet. After all, the good thing about a fairy tale is that you can not only hear it, show it, but also draw it. And we will depict it on the fabulous sea.

Guys, look at the two fleets shown on the board? ( Children's answers).

These are fabulous ships, but the ships are just white, insignificant. And since the ships are the same, they can be confused. To prevent this from happening, what do you think needs to be done? ( Colorize).

Let's think about how we will paint them.

What did the pirates do? ( They attacked ships and robbed).

What did they bring to people? ( Evil).

What colors would you use to depict evil? ( Children's answers).

Look at this color combination. Even bright colors seem disturbing here because they are surrounded by dark ones. (Demonstration of the poster “Fig. 3”).

If the pirates caused harm, then the royal fleet carried people... ( Good).

But what colors would you use to depict goodness? ( Children's answers).

Look at these colors. These colors are fun: they have a lot of sunshine in them. (Demonstration of poster “Fig. 4”).

But not only color helps to depict good and evil, but also certain symbols that are divided into symbols of good and evil.

Symbols of goodness are depicted here. This is the sun, the cross, the circle. Do you think we will decorate the sails of the royal or pirate fleet with these symbols? ( Showing symbols of goodness “Fig. 5").

These symbols are symbols of evil: a snake, a beetle, a raven. What fleet do they belong to? (Showing symbols of evil “Fig. 6”).

And now we will try to revive our ships with the help of color and symbols.

III. Practical work.

The children are given white blanks of “rice.” 7” and they color them to magical music.

IV. Summing up the lesson.

Teacher. Look carefully at our ships “Fig. 8-13". Tell me which fleet, royal or pirate, will win, what will triumph: good or evil? ( Children's answers).


Indeed, there are much more light colors and good symbols on the sails of ships.

Guys, in addition to the fairy sea and your magical ships, there are also fairy words here. Let's read them. ( Children's attention is drawn to the words of the epigraph. One of the students reads loudly and with expression).

“It’s not for nothing that children love fairy tales.

After all, that’s what’s good about a fairy tale,

That there is a happy ending in it

The soul already has a presentiment.”

How do you understand these words? ( In fairy tales, good always triumphs over evil).

Our fairy tale lesson has come to an end. I really want you guys to always have more good than evil in your life, and for you to always give people only kindness.

Symbolism of good or evil

Symbolism of good or evil

Masonic dollar signs returned only in the early 1930s. It was a very difficult time for the country - the time of the Great Depression. The authorities decided to even call on occult symbols for help. It turns out that before that it was possible to neglect Masonic symbolism, but in difficult times everything went into the treasury of the struggle for existence. And the country got out of depression! Not only did it come to life, but it rushed with leaps and bounds towards a new blossoming. Well, the Masonic symbols remained on the main bill - one dollar - for centuries. And from time to time another mystical boom begins around the dollar: some see it as a Masonic conspiracy, others even see it as a conspiracy of Satan.

1 dollar

Let's try to figure it out. The Great Seal has two circles (let's not forget, a circle is a protective sign): in one there is a pyramid, in the other there is an eagle. Meanwhile, these images were used not only in Freemasonry. Even in the Ancient world, the eagle personified victorious power and was depicted with an olive branch of glory, an impenetrable shield and a bunch of arrows striking the enemy. And the pyramids are not a Masonic invention. Although their images were often used by Freemasons. In the pyramids they saw the most harmonious result of the reorganization of the world according to the plan of the Great Architect, whom they considered, by the way, the Creator. The eagle was used to designate the great Masonic lodges - there were the White and Black Eagle lodges. However, if you think about it, the pyramid and the eagle existed in symbolism, and then in heraldry initially - since man came up with iconic images.

So let's go back to the eagle on the right side of the dollar. His torso is covered with an impenetrable shield, but above his head there is a purely American pattern of stars, personifying the union of the states that make up the state. In its beak, the dollar eagle holds a ribbon with the Latin inscription “E Pluribus Unum,” which can be interpreted as “Unity in Diversity,” but can also be interpreted as “One of Many.” What is it: modesty or pride? Rather, the second is the pride of the one who will rule, having dollars in his hands, be it individual rich people or an entire nation (of course, American), to which banknotes give such a right. Well, Americans don't suffer from modesty. In the center of the bill there is another saying - now in pure English, so that all compatriots understand: “In God we trust,” which is usually translated as “In God we trust,” but in fact means: “In God we are right.” This is American conceit!

Let's look at the left side of the dollar. There, in the circle of the seal, a pyramid rises (a symbol of the power and greatness of humanity), but it is truncated, as if it had not yet been completed. This is a clear indication that the “free masons” are still building a new world. It is not for nothing that there is an inscription under it: “Novus Ordo Sek-Iogshp”, that is, “New Order of a Generation”, or more simply - “New World Order”. Again - global scope without false modesty. The construction of this new order is observed by the All-Seeing Eye of the Great Architect of the Universe, over which there is also a Latin saying: “Annuit Soer-tis”, usually interpreted as “He (God) blesses our deeds.” It would seem that this is the purest Masonic symbol, but historians know that the All-Seeing Eye was found back in the days when there were no traces of Masons. The Eye is a symbol of the ancient Egyptian god Ra, which in hieroglyphs meant the very creation of life, the power and penetration of the creator into human life. That is, the symbols on the dollar go back centuries, which means they carry a stronger power than the Masonic. And all the quotes on the dollars are taken not from occult books, but from Virgil’s “Aeneid” and refer rather to the glorification of the power and might of the state - the advent of the American era. Well, this, as you understand, is much more important than any Masonic achievements.

However, there are also purely Masonic symbols on the dollar - on the front side - on the right side of the seal of the US Treasury. Again, in the circle there are scales, a square and a key, which is read as weighed and verified wealth (after all, we are talking about finances) gives the key to the world. Is this why Americans like to call themselves the main people of the world? Well, it’s not for nothing that the United States is considered a world power. But the attitude towards this power is changing to negative. Why be surprised? No matter how you hold the key, the scales weigh and evaluate everything. Well, depending on the assessment, the triangle is sometimes established, and then suddenly - once - it falls to the corner. That's why the triangle is the most unstable figure, especially if you push it a little...

In addition, we should not forget that there is another mark in the dollar that makes you think: who does it serve? The width of a banknote of any denomination is always 6.66 cm. But this is the number of the Antichrist...

Since ancient times, Belobog has been revered as the bearer of light, goodness, and truth. In the sphere of influence of the god of peace, luck, prosperity, health and happiness rule.

The Slavic god Belobog has always been contrasted with Chernobog, the ruler of darkness.

People always turned to him with grateful prayers, asking for help in protecting them from any manifestation of darkness.

Belobog in the pantheon of Slavic gods

Belobog had many names in ancient times: Belbog, Sventovit, Belun, White God, Svyatovit, god of white light. Born to defend truth and goodness, he constantly fights with his brother.

It is believed that without experiencing misfortune and suffering, a person will not be able to appreciate happiness and goodness. Only after passing the test does a person awaken the desire to do good.

The Temple of Belobog was erected in a sunny place on a hill, positioned in such a way that the sun sanctified it from all sides. The interior decoration of the bright god always shone with wealth and abundance. The golden decoration reflects the sunlight, thanks to which the temple dedicated to white light is always bright and there is not a single corner for darkness.

Sayings revealing the image of Belobog

For whom the god Belobog is the patron

Each person has his own patron for certain character traits. Belobog is the patron saint of people with bright souls who value work.

Such people cannot sit idle for long; they are always doing something, creating something, working on something. Home warmth and comfort are more attractive than parties and noisy companies. People under the protection of the bright god are calm, do not like fuss, are kind and are always ready to help.

The family treats everyone with respect and love.

Image of Belobog

The God of Light - Belobog is represented in the form of an old man in white robes with a staff in his hands.

In mythology, Belobog is considered the God of the manifest world and is separated from the image of Rod, the creator of the universe. The image conveys the image of a tall old man with long hair and a white beard in white robes. Belbog's eye color is sky blue. In his hands is a wooden staff with the image of the rune of the bright God.

Attributes

Each image has its own distinctive features and symbols by which it can be identified. The deity Belbog also has his own attributes:

bird: eagle being a symbol of power and insight. In heraldry, the eagle symbol is used as a sign of supreme authority;

Animal: cow and deer;

Offering (demand): items made of gold or silver.

Belobog symbol

The sacred symbol “belobog” brings luck and wealth only to those who work for it. In ancient times, the amulet was used by those who worked on the land and received benefits from it.

Who will it help in our time? After all, few people will work on arable land now.

The Belobog symbol is considered a protective amulet of the family.

The symbol can be applied to housing, in this case it protects those living in the house.

As a personal (body) talisman Belobog:

    attracts good luck and prosperity with the desire and hard work of the wearer;

    protects against slander;

    maintains contact with family, especially necessary for people who are far from family;

    helps fight laziness and other unsightly character traits.

Also, the symbol of the god of light can be applied to the building where the crop is stored, which will allow it to be preserved until the sowing season. The image of the symbol in the stable where livestock is kept will protect it from the influence of dark forces. The animals will be healthy.

The Belobog amulet, like a magnet, attracts wealth and good luck to the house. However, it only works where labor is respected and good.

The meaning of the Belobog rune

The Belobog rune is located in 1st place in the runic alphabet of the Slavs, symbolizing peace. According to some versions, this rune also represents the tree of life.

The rune world connects a person’s inner world, his soul, worldview with the outside world through self-realization.

Since ancient times, the rune of Belobog (peace) denoted family, community, clan. When used as a talisman, the rune attracts good luck and prosperity to the family.

Nauze Belobog "end of darkness"

Nauz is knot magic that involves attracting what you want through a specially tied knot of thick thread. When tying a protective knot, a hex is read.

If you are caught in a swamp of hopelessness and despondency, you don’t see a way out of the current situation, a magic knot can help.

Nauz “end of darkness” attracts good luck to the house, helps to move from the “dead point”.

The magic knot should be worn for 49 days. It’s good if you take it out from time to time, think about the good, clear your thoughts from the bad, imagine the power of light inherent in the science of happiness and health. After the specified period, burn the bundle, thereby cleansing yourself of evil through fire. Life should start getting better.

Belobog and Chernobog as personifications of the eternal struggle between good and evil

The struggle between good and evil is considered eternal. It has been going on since the beginning of the creation of the world and is unlikely to ever end. However, it cannot be said that Belobog is only good, and Chernobog is evil. In fact, everything in the world is more complicated. Without pain and bad weather, it is impossible to appreciate light and goodness, this is what we are taught in life.

In the most difficult times, development and “breakthrough” in science are observed. The struggle between evil and good continues both at the global level. So it is in the soul of every person.

Every day we fight negative (destructive) thoughts and temptations. We strive for light and goodness. However, in everyone’s life there are periods of victory of light, and there are periods of superiority of darkness. Everyone has their own source of strength and for some it is negative events. It happens that only by becoming angry (having accumulated evil) a person can move from the point of stagnation and achieve some heights in life.

Belobog and Chernobog are 2 different sides of the same coin. They complement each other.

Belobog gives strength through light and good deeds.

Belobog and Chernobog are considered brothers. They participated equally in the creation of the world. Under whose influence the soul of each person will be depends on his actions.

The life of each person is represented by different events, some of which bring grief and pain, and some of which bring joy and happiness. This is how the struggle between light and darkness goes on. Continuing in everyone and around everyone.

The amulet symbol of Belobog helps to illuminate the path in difficult times for people with a pure heart.

My good friend from Florence, Marco, was going to marry a charming Ukrainian woman, Anya. They have known each other for a long time and actually live in a civil marriage. The wedding was supposed to take place last year. But, obviously, the leap year, which many rightly fear, has made itself felt.

Now the celebration is scheduled for June of this year, and I pray to Christ that he will grant grace and the opportunity to unite two loving hearts in the bosom of the Holy Church.

Mysterious disease

But what happened in 2012? Why was the wedding postponed? The fact is that Marco, two months before the celebration, had strange wounds on his arms and legs. Sometimes blood oozed from them. But what was especially unusual was that the open wounds did not bother Marco and he did not experience pain.

The doctors examined Marco and shrugged. No one could make a diagnosis. Finally, one of the old doctors, during a consultation, uttered the word “stigmata.” And then everything seemed to fall into place, but by and large nothing became clearer. For so far neither science nor religion can give a simple and clear answer: what is the reason for the appearance of stigmata - bleeding wounds that open precisely in those parts of the body where the crucified Jesus Christ had wounds: hands, feet, head, hypochondrium -

Suffering on the Cross

Let us remember: the hands and feet of Jesus Christ were pierced with nails when He was nailed to the cross. The crown of thorns placed on the Savior’s head scratched his forehead. One of the Roman legionaries pierced His chest with a spear, and a deep wound remained in this place.

Stigmata can look like bloody wounds (“stigmatos” translated from Greek - “signs”, “wounds”, “ulcers”) on the palms, as if nails had been hammered into them... Sometimes the same wounds appear on the feet. Some bearers of stigmata have wounds on the forehead, reminiscent of pricks and scratches from a crown of thorns, others have bloody stripes on the back, like marks of flagellation.

I read about stigmata, helping Marco persevere and understand: is it a blessing or a curse? Anya was always by his side... Interestingly, the local priest was wary of the miracle that happened to Marco. The padre promised to write to Rome and assemble a commission. But, obviously, the priests were in no hurry to see the groom. And recently, Marco’s stigmata have decreased, but have not disappeared completely. We hope that, as the Russians say, everything will heal for Marco before the wedding...

History of stigma

Nevertheless, I began to collect information about such an unusual phenomenon. It turns out that for the past eight hundred years, stigmata, signs of Christ’s suffering, have appeared on the bodies of some Christians (mostly Catholics), and other people as well.

But the question arises: who was the first of the stigmatics? Obviously, the Apostle Paul himself. In the book of Galatians the apostle says, “I bear the marks of the Lord Jesus in my body.” This can be understood both literally and figuratively. But the outstanding thinker Francis of Assisi definitely had stigmata.

A sincere believer in Christ, he founded the Franciscan monastic order in 1224. And soon after this, on the day of the Exaltation of the Cross, while praying on Mount Verna, he was visited by a vision. It was then that Francis’ body began to bleed in the places of Christ’s wounds. And this continued for the last two years of his life.

Further more. It turns out that stigmata have been described in hundreds of people. After thorough checks by doctors and priests, rare malingerers and swindlers were swept aside. The vast majority of people - believers and non-believers - actually developed stigmata.

In 1918, twenty-year-old Therese Neumann from the town of Konnersreuth in Bavaria was injured in a fire and found herself bedridden. In 1925 she began to have visions, and the following year her palms, feet and forehead began to bleed every Friday. It even happened that the girl cried tears of blood. Teresa died in 1962. And she developed stigmata regularly.

Ten-year-old Cloretta Robertson from Oakland, California, developed stigmata in 1972 after watching a film about Christ. Since Cloretta was a non-religious girl, her story confirmed that the appearance of stigmata is also possible in non-religious people.

This was also proven by the events that occurred in 1932 with the American Elizabeth, a patient in a psychiatric hospital, who was observed by Dr. Albert Lechler. After viewing images of Christ's crucifixion, she felt a slight tingling sensation in her palms and soles. Soon wounds appeared in these places.

It is interesting that the English doctor Eric Dingwall has been collecting information about cases of stigmata for quite a long time. For example, he carefully studied the story of Maria Magdalena de' Pazzi, later declared a saint, whose stigmata appeared in 1585 after she wholeheartedly embraced the faith. Dingwall argued that in her case it was simply self-mutilation due to fanaticism and masochistic tendencies.

However, his assumptions are refuted by many other cases. For example, in 1918, the stigmata of the Italian priest, Padre Pio, began to bleed. His blood was constantly oozing, and it only ended with the death of the priest in 1968.

God's Chosen

Thousands of people believe that stigmata are a gift from God. But there is another opinion: one of the theosophical schools believes that stigmata are a sign of Satan. And yet, among believers, stigmatics are treated as God's chosen ones. There are numerous stories about the ability of selected stigmatics to levitate. They say that some wounds give off a wonderful aroma...

There is a movement in the Catholic Church whose supporters consider it necessary to proclaim the aforementioned Father Pio a saint. There are many supernatural incidents associated with it. Eyewitnesses talk about the padre's ability to instantly move thousands of kilometers from one point on the planet to another. The cases of miraculous healings that Father Pio performed, according to his adherents, allow us to consider the priest the chosen one of God.

Not without aliens

The Vatican is usually very careful about cases of stigmata. Theologians and priests wait for time to pass - sometimes up to a hundred years - from the day of death of the stigmatic so that the Church can proclaim him blessed or even a saint. Priests and doctors carefully study each case of the appearance of stigmata, weighing the pros and cons.

The Catholic Church recognizes that stigmata can be of a miraculous, inexplicable nature. However, in most cases, according to the Fathers of the Church, the cause of the appearance of stigmata must be sought in the field of psychiatry. After all, many stigmatics have obvious signs of hysteria; they have had various mental oddities, a tendency to self-torture, low self-esteem and self-hatred.

An interesting group of stigmatics, as the author of the article was surprised to learn, consists of those who explain the origin of their wounds by contacts with aliens. One of the most famous stigmatists, the Italian Giorgio Bongiovanni, tells strange stories that are a mixture of Catholicism and ufology, and explains the origin of his stigmata by the influence of aliens.

Believe in miracle

Of course, one can say that people with “sick heads” inflict wounds on themselves, but the problem is that most stigmatics do not remember when and under what circumstances the wounds appeared on their bodies. This makes the work of researchers difficult. There is numerous evidence that stigmata, no matter how they are treated, appear again and again on the human body in the same places.

Several experiments conducted by the Italian doctor Marco Marnelli with the famous stigmata bearer Lo Bianco showed that healed wounds can reappear on her hands many times.

Moreover, every time the stigmata began to appear on her body, Lo Bianco fell into a trance and saw a rosary and a cross in this state.

The aforementioned Father Pio saw himself in a trance on the cross. American Ethel Chapman acquired stigmata on her palms while in the hospital, where, in an unconscious state, she saw the scene of her own crucifixion.
The trance state into which stigmatics sometimes fall allows some researchers to suggest that stigmata (if we are not talking about deliberate self-injury) are explained by self-hypnosis. But how does this happen?

So far, both scientific and church experts believe that it is impossible to unambiguously explain the phenomenon of stigmatism. Many stigmata have “common” origins, but most cases cannot be explained. This is a very complex phenomenon, and perhaps over time we will understand the nature of stigma. In the meantime, we can only believe in a miracle.

Esoterics. PISCES, NOT SEPARATING GOOD AND EVIL, ARE THE SIGN THAT ENTERS THE DARKEST AND HARDEST SIDE OF EXISTENCE, SO IN MANY HIS IDEAL IS THE WILL WITH WHICH HE COULD RESIST THEM

PISCES, NOT SEPARATING GOOD AND EVIL, ARE THE SIGN THAT ENTERS THE DARKEST AND HARDEST SIDE OF EXISTENCE, SO IN MANY HIS IDEAL IS THE WILL WITH WHICH HE COULD RESIST THEM

“Pisces, which does not separate good and evil, is the sign that enters into the darkest and most unpleasant sides of existence, therefore, in many ways, its ideal is the will with which it could resist them.”

Pisces, which does not separate good and evil, is the sign that enters into the darkest and most unpleasant sides of existence, therefore, in many ways, its ideal is the will with which it could resist them. In a positive sense, this is willpower (the quality of the opposite sign of Virgo, Ceres), which in Kabbalah is interpreted as a masach - a screen: the ability to reflect, “screen” the love freely given to a person by God (similar to the fact that the planet of pleasure Venus falls in Virgo). A person must develop in himself the will of refusal and opposition (Pluto, which is interpreted as the esoteric planet of Pisces), and then the ability to accept only what is useful (Ceres). By refusing the light, he will be worthy to accept it, and this will help solve the problem of correcting the darkest and crudest forms of matter. Hence the paradox arises that the coarsest souls, when corrected, will be able to receive a greater amount of light, since it is through them that it must penetrate to the very bottom of matter (Pluto).

According to the same idea, part of creation (Malkuth in Malkuth, in the astrological system corresponds to the image of the planet Proserpina) was forever deprived of divine light. The Creator allows this, and while the world is imperfect and incomplete, he keeps it in this state. “The Creator does not forget about Malkuth, cast down into the Earth, and every time he remembers her, all three hundred and ninety vaults of heaven tremble and the Creator drops tears burning like fire for the Shekinah - Malkuth, cast down into the dust of the earth, and they fall into the depths of the great sea. And from the power of these tears, the king of the sea, Rohab, comes to life and blesses the Creator, and swears to swallow everything, from the first day of Creation, at the time when all the nations will gather around the holy people, the seas will dry up and Israel will pass through on dry land." ("Zohar")

This echoes the idea of ​​a negative counterbalance, which is necessary for the realization of God's plan. It arises during the creation of the world as a Qliphot - a shell that captures the negative qualities of creation, which help to manifest the positive ones. In astrology, this role goes to the sign of Scorpio - everyone’s unloved part of the ecliptic, which, however, has an equal right to exist with the other eleven. Strictly speaking, God did not create evil: he directed the Universe towards good - but he created the conditions in which we can push back the goal of creation and thereby serve the evil that we ourselves create. And even this partly contributes to good: polarization, directing some opposite part of the world towards good - and in this sense also serves the divine plan.

For the sign of Pisces - the sign of confusion - polarization is considered necessary: ​​it was with its help that the Universe once arose from chaos, as all the mythologies of the world tell. Therefore, the sign of Pisces and Judaism is able to accept and even justify the evil of the negative manifestations of life. However, if we, brought up in Aries by a straightforward Christian culture, justify the evil of the world without regard to the ideological and psychological characteristics of the sign of Pisces, we risk immediately finding ourselves in the position of Judas Iscariot and ending up in an emotionally hopeless dead end, having lost all hope for a better life.

By hint and secret, the philosophy of Judaism reveals to us the Neptunian idea of ​​​​the mixture of good and evil and the relativity of all manifestations of the world in comparison with the invisible absolute. Pisces humble themselves before the suffering of the world (the manifestation of Pluto), justifying external evil with the incomprehensibility of God's creation. Ethically, by the fact that He, having all the qualities to the maximum extent, still suffers more. And rationally, any suffering turns out to be relative in the face of the ultimate goal of rebirth, and this view of things makes the faith of Pisces “explosive” - like the planet Mars, which rules the beginning of a violent spring: rushing towards the end of the world, for the sake of its perfection.

Let us follow the logic of the archetypes here: the target sign of Capricorn is the next cardinal sign in relation to the sign of Aries, and therefore the very idea of ​​a new birth implies a goal (and therefore certainty, limitation and the evil of death). Since the world has a goal, it means that God did not create it completely, and from the point of view of the ultimate goal, He is incomprehensibly kind to people. Their private sufferings only serve His plan: and therefore there is no need to abandon them, we need to accept them.
