The Nature of Self
![](img/kaduz.jpg)
In higher beings this caduceal wave or double helix leads both strands of the self into ever greater heights of happiness and fulfillment in terms of ecstatic states (love), enlightenment (wisdom) and creative powers (will). But in us the solar and lunar strands of the self have become estranged, the lunar strand having wandered away from the solar strand -- which is any being's lifeline or contact point with the ultimate Source of Life itself. Hence the lifeline of the lunar strand has become too thin and stretched out. The reintegration and reuniting of the solar and lunar strands of the self is a crucial part of the Lion Path.
