how the gyroscope model was born

First, the decision was made to go to Chretien's original story. Second, in contemplating the story, recognition came that in the Enchanted Castle chamber, four parts were played: Perceval, Amfortas, the Grail procession, the Hidden. [Within the Grail procession were four entities: the Lance, the two Candelabra youth (seen as one entity), the Grail and Its Bearer, the Platter and Its Bearer.]

Awareness came that Perceval and Amfortas formed a vertical dimension (stage front and stage rear) between whom the procession passed. Thus the Procession and the Hidden became the horizontal dimension. Next, the understanding deepened that the Perceval-Amfortas energies represented materiality, the material dimension; the Procession-Hidden energies represented the spiritual dimension. Later, the circularity of each of these two energy flows became clear and took on this form (horizontal oval overlapping vertical oval).

It was not long that this form was experienced as a gyroscope with the Procession-Hidden energies forming the spinning stable center and the Perceval-Amfortas energies representing the tilt into various consciousness dimensions. Thus the model was born with which I work. (This process took place over several weeks of periodic contemplation.)
