Picture to the Month of Capricorn
The birth of a universe is like a small wave on the surface of the Absolute. By its nature, the wave is but the sea in a different state. It is the beginning of a new creation, with the Absolute acting as the Creator. “The will to create” allows the first wave to emerge. This wave represents the beginning of a new cycle, the dawn of a new creation.
Capricorn stands for the beginning of new things – for the morning awakening, the dawn of the solar year and also for the dawn of larger systems. Creation also has its dawn, which can be compared to the emergence of a wave. The beginning is like the point or source from which various circles emerge.
From the deep blue of the night, all colours slowly emerge with the light of the sun. The sunlight dispels the night’s darkness. The color orange precedes the dawn’s light of the sun, only after comes the light of the sun. The radiant orange is revered by all those who seek wisdom. It stands for the awakening of consciousness.
In the center of the picture you can see a wave and behind, the sun rising out of the ocean. Circular rings spread out from the one wave, just as all subsequent effects arise from the first cause.
For the design of the picture I used elements of earlier pictures and a photo of a wave taken early one morning in Visakhapatnam on the Bay of Bengal.
