Aphrogenia

Here you see the senses beginning to come to life and sending something down into the ocean of the life processes, and there below you see how the blood of the senses pulses through the life processes, which begin to foam up and become processes of soul.

And the ancient Greeks' understanding of this led them to see how Aphrodite, Aphrogenia, the goddess of beauty, is created out of the foam that arises when the blood of the wounded Uranus drips into the ocean of Maya.

This, the more ancient of the myths about the creation of Aphrodite, expresses the condition of the aesthetic man and is one of the most significant imaginations and one of the most significant thoughts in the whole of mankind's spiritual evolution.

But still another thought needs to be placed beside the thought of this ancient myth, which shows Aphrodite being born from the drops of blood of the wounded Uranus that fall into the sea, rather than as the child of Zeus and Diona.
