- The energy of Apollon entered as a bright, radiant, shining white
solar
being, positive and full of assurance, with a laurel wreath of victory
on
his head.
- Apollon relates to energy in manifestation - he is a light-being,
forthcoming and open.
- he is Light and brilliance (not in the intellectual sense, tho it
can
manifest there as well)
- Apollon is the Light shining thru the prism, and also is the prism
that
unfolds the full-spectrum rainbow out of that pure light, breaking a
pure
energy stream into differentiated multiplicity in manifestation so
that it
can be experienced more fully. This is a different flavor of
manifestation
than the cornucopia of Cupido.
- This is the finely cut gemstone, a diamond cut to show all its
potential
radiant brilliance from all angles.
- Apollon is the Sacred Geometer, master of divine proportion, measure
and
harmonics, all of which are manifestations of the unfolding expression
of
universal laws and principles. There is beauty and rhythm here.
- Multiplicity - fractals, sacred spirals, Fibonacci series - which
echo the
same out into further permutations. It is this same principle
that
manifests multiplicity of any gift, lesson, or expression, so that we
may
know and experience it from more than one perspective and thus gain
greater
depth of understanding.
- This one is a master of energy in all the ways it moves and
manifests.
- Apollon is more extraverted than other ones (transneptunians) we
have
visited.
- Commerce, business, money exchange - these are manifestations of
energy
dynamics. Money is a form of energy, and its movement and
exchange provide
one perspective or measure of relative value as it shifts, cycles, and
fluctuates.
- "Rhapsody in Blue" - Gershwin's jazzy modern classic -
complex, upbeat,
forward moving, busy, multifaceted.
- This energy just *is* - it has neutrality, non-investment,
non-attachment.
It has acceptance of universal flow as a medium and process.
- Apollon has a natural curiosity of "what if??", then moves
to manifest and
explore all the options.
- It is like a reckless field of wildflowers.
- Recalls Gregory Bateson's learning levels model in which each level
considers the context as a dimension of the content in the previous
level.
Apollon provides the opportunity to take a step back, to see the whole
context within which the variability of possibilities of expression
manifest, to see the forest as the entire ecosystem and not get lost
in
focusing on the individual tree. Thus, it is a teacher of life
and life
processes. Unfortunately, not many seize this opportunity of
totality of
perspective, but rather do focus on the separate pieces or
"notes" of the
whole composition. Then, fragmentation and distraction result
rather than
balance, awareness, integration and flow.
- Recalls the Buddhist concept of "interdependent arising",
which
understands the extreme multiplicity of factors interacting that bring
about
any situation, thus dispelling any illusion of singular
"cause" or "blame".
Kindness, acceptance and compassion arise from understanding this gift
of
Apollon, as the vast interplay weaving the cosmic web allows all, and
de-personalizes for greater freedom.
- This is like a complex ecosystem, where every plant, animal, element
factor has its place within the interactive whole.
- There is an element of gaming, speculation, risk-taking, and then
moving
on. Apollon is energy movement, dynamic, never static - a master
of
manifestation, somewhat like the Tarot card of The Magician.
- Variability of coin, diversity.
- Like watching a kettle of stew simmering, all the bubbles forming,
rising,
popping, splashing, rolling on....
- Apollon has fire/air energy.
- Like druzy quartz or a crystal cluster, many shining facets and
points
radiating out in all directions.
- Apollon rules kaleidoscopes!
- This energy is like a group of drums from Africa or India, or a
Balinese
gamelan orchestra, each instrument beating its own pattern, all of
which
combine into a beautiful, complex, organized power movement of rhythm
and
sound, awakening the lifeforce energy in all who hear. This is a call
to
wake up, move, and join the dance of life in joy and possibility -
dazzling!
