The Beautiful Soul

[Michael Erlewine]

The Saturn experience is somewhat like the “Beautiful Soul” that Hegel describes in the “Phenomenology of the Mind” so exactly :

“This soul lacks force to externalize itself... the power to make itself a thing and to endure existence. And, to preserve the purity of its heart, it flees from actuality and steadfastly perseveres in a state of self-willed impotence to renounce a self which is pared away to the last point of abstraction... and to give itself substantial existence or in other words: to transform its thought into being and commit itself to absolute distinction, that between thought and being.”
