2-11-98 CHOPIN

Each principle of The Art of Multi-Dimensional Living (TM) has two aspects: pure intelligence and pure creativity. Together, they form a living entity -- what the Hindus call either a god or attribute of the one Godhead. It is a challenge to present these principles in a way which can be grasped by those not attuned to the subtler aspects of cognition. I have found that examples from the arts are often the most effective means for conveying these subtle ideas and feelings.

Thus, when we look to the planet Venus, the 6th of 64 major principles in The Art of Multi-Dimensional Living, we can gain a feeling for her energetics and significations by listening to the music of Chopin.

Chopin's life and music were saturated with Venusian energies and forms, although modified by a somewhat melancholy Saturnine influence, which you won't find in the work of Johann Strauss, another being highly influenced by the planet Venus.
