| Description: | For a long time what we now know as 'space' was inaccessible to humans, not because it was at a height which was unattainable without the least astronautical technology or principles, but because of the cosmic and dualistic representation of reality. Humans were relegated to the centre, to a sort of ëcesspití of imperfection, alteration, incompleteness and finally death. Around them were crystal spheres which held the planets and starsóimmutable, eternal and perfectóa domain which was completely off-limits to humans, unless they had discarded their carnal envelope, either through a mystical experience or after death. |
