Man, The Microcosm

The microcosm, manifesting in the male polarization, in restrained seating in a state. The microcosm, in the act of consumption, or, of creative expression. The hand signifies the ability to creatively act. The five fingers can correspond to the five elements. And the two arms to the dual principles of the male and the female.

Seated restrain to a state but with a greater degree of

dynamism. Man seeking creative perception of the higher. Man attempting to enter the profounder, the hidden, the point of conjunction of the two cosmic principles, the active and the passive, symbolized by a horizontal and a vertical structure. The water-principle descends in another cycle of refinement from the top of the microcosm, downward to the base earthly-matter. Man acting on the baser, collecting the baser for the purpose of transmutation.
