youtu.be/lbORrzpLazg?... Se o corpo só nos entrega ecos que nos retêm na separação, temos algum modo de conhecer que supera o corpo? Sim, a capacidade cognitiva inerente na vida, cujo dinamismo se mostra na biologia e na matemática e que encontra sua maior realização no amor e no sexo.

In a day and night, the Sun will go through every house, by moving together with its sign. In a year, the Sun will go through every house, by moving through the signs. I wonder if this analogy grounds secondary progressions.
