The effects of the planets cause moods in the soul,
which find their base in the inner organsn die zij aanleggen. In the tree
types of beech, maple, oak, ash, birch, ulm and cherry they express their
forces in quite a distinct wayt; each of these trees and their types of
wood are connected with the activities of one specific planet. The soul
moods they bring forth can be experienced in the vowels of our speech,
being the colors in the cosmic language that has formed us. STAR and SOUND Everyone is built up of the sounds that work out of
the spheres of stars and planets. These sounds are sung to us during pregnancy,
and out of them we form our being. The sounds fade down in us and become
finally recognizable in the features of our posture. They are imprinted
in our bodies as the letters of the cosmic Word, that are to be found
everywhere in nature in crystals, plants and animals, but that come into
a grand composition within the human posture. When one makes tones and intervals sound in a space
with loose small particles, these will move into places where there is
the least movement of air. Thus geometrical figures arise, forming a negative
print of the sounds that brought the space into vibration (so-called Chladni
figures). Every sound, tone, interval creates a specific form in matter.
Thus one can imagine how by organizing sounds all earthly forms are created
(note: the forms appear at places where there is the least sound).

Sound sculptures of a name Besides for vowels there can be made sound scupltures for any speech sound, which when hit at specific places, make resound thos word sound sounds. Much has to be developed still with this.The sculpture below has been made on the request of a attendant for an epileptic patient whom he wanted to get better into reality. On the base of his horoscope was made a rhythmical poem in images. First the rhythms were beaten on the sound sculpture, and next recitated. According to the attendant, who did this every evening, it was one og the moments of the day that the patient was really present with his consciousness.

Sculptures of a name in eurythmic gestures The art form of Eurythmy expresses the word sounds with the body in gestures. These gestures one can find back as well in the growing human embryo and in each growing plant and animal. It is also possible to make sculptures which bring these gestures to an expression. This is sonic and form research with which has happened only little until now. Underneath follow soms sculptures of names in eurythmic gestures. In them there has been considered the personal horoscope of the bearer of that name for the type of wood chosen.

If one places sculptures in a landscape, growing nature around it will direct itself to these. For instance a cubic-shaped sculpture will prevent a tree to grow into a point at his crown; a forth striving gesture lets him grow along with his gestures. This is because the elemental beings which cause the growth, will direct themselves to the physical shapes which especially man has put down there. Hence one can influence the landscape by putting peculiarly placed sculptures in it. These for instance can dissolve tension in the life world by guiding the life forces into a new direction. This can occur when an old building gets a new building, for instance an organic one, at the side. A sculpture that can express and direct the life forces, may take away that tension. If one wants to stimulate the growth of trees or plants in a specific way, this may be by a gesturing sculpture. And if one wants to stimulate or direct the forces of life paths in a landscape (leylines), this can also be done with a sculpture in specific gestures. Within our projects of landscape healing we do this mostly with clay models, which we put down at spoecific sites and have them absorbed and later on dissolved in nature. These models are only meant as gestures in order to come to a communication. Fixed sculptures in wood, stone or metal are much more durable. In this as well there is much that still has to be investigated. The Rune workshop can on request and in consultation with you come to the development of specific sculptures in your garden or landscape which comes up to one or more of these issues.

Sculptures out of the star images as active forces
The star images, within and without of the Zodiac,
each represent a group of Angel beings that work out an idea of the divine
plan. As a group they also work in a formative way to the Earth and to
man, and as such have each to do with a specific past in our body as such
they can be interpreted. Besides this as being an idea of the divine plan
to be realized, they have an aspect that is more directed towards the
future, being that of development: they represent the ideals we want to
realize to come into development ourselves and realise those ideals of
the devine plan in and all through us.
Star images as form gestures;
of the star images North and South from the Zodiac
Ways and Forms
of Love; By Nicolaas M. de Jong
The star images can be seen as the archetypes of the
creation of man and the Earth. Each form principle can be traced back
to one of the star images. There are 84 of them; that is rather in accordance
with the amount of cards of the small arcade, stemming from Egypte; the
tarot cards out of the Hermetic initiation science. See for further outworkings of the star images as
a language “Cosmobiology’ and ‘Science Otherwise’
(the latter in preparation to be translated in English), RUNE-books, Bergen,
The Netherlands; 1986 and 1998. Also W.F. Bohm, ‘Erde, Mensch und
Kosmos’ parts 1 – 3 (Earth, Man and Cosmos, Verlag die Kommenden,
Freiburg i. Br., Germany 1956. For a deepening in the way of working as
a schooling method, see ‘Esoterical Christianity until the Present’,
or the English anthology of this, “Astrosophy and the Grail”,
RUNE-books 1999.
Because the forces of the star images are being transposed via the vernal point of spring and the movements of the sun, moon and the planets theough the Zodiac, the maps have been made out of the Zodiacal belt as the centre.
Some northern star image sculptures:
Position: This star image lays curdled around the North Pole of the Zodiac (that is fixed) as a star line with as its head a triangle. It therefore covers each zone of the Zodiac except for the Scales. Its tail lays in between the Big and the Littl Bear (Dipper). The head ends in Hercules. Mythological: The dragon that watches over the golden treasure (occurs in the sagas of many a people). Human development: It represents man being directed
towards the Earth that upon the Old Moon (a previous, watery stage of
the Earth) was an animal-like being oriented horizontally in his physical
body and therefore dreamed in his consciousness. The drive to become on
Earth through incarnation causes the spinal chord, that within the young
child is stil directed horizontally. Only the spirit can make it raising
up, as awakeness and the faculty of compassion (in-feeling) between picturing
(later on thinking) at the one side, and wanting at the other side. Within
the animal realm we see the reptiles make a first gesture of upraising.
The bilaterality of thinking and willing for instance comes good to an
expression in the Brontosaurus, an extinguished giant reptile with a double
row of plates along his horizontally oriented spine. Where in man: Spinal chord with crumbling bone formation as vertebrea; these are being initiated during the embyonic development. They are pointed threefolded, as a reflection of our threefolded being after body, soul and spirit, with willing, feeling and thinking as its soul functions. Ideal: The repeated will to incarnate, so that we all through the vegetative and animal stage as we were initially, can develop us through the becoming as a man into Angels of different order, starting with spirits of freedom and love, through which we also can help to transform the Earth and thus can help to redeem the dragon (the counter-active Angels that have offered themselves to this aim). As a drive: The archetypal drive to want to live upon
the Earth, so as well the survival drive with threatening danger. The
differentiation of this drive can be found in the starry sky in the other
snake images (Hydra, Hydrus, Snake’s Tail and Head, connected with
the Snake Tamer, Ophiochus).
The LYRE, LYRA
Mythological: Orpheus, messenger of Apollo the Sun god, played so beautifully his nine stringed lyre, that even the plants and the inhabitants of the underworld were touched to tears by it. When his beloved had to go to the underworld, he was so full of sorrow that he descended to it by himself. Human development: The lyre is the archetype for the human soul which plays upon the body and calls forth the workings of destiny in it, so that a man can form his biography. These workings of fate lay stored in the digestion-limb system; the first lyres, and nowadays still good violins, have intestine strings on them, with which is being indicated that there is a clear knowledge about the activities of the fate and the digestive organs. The swings of fate lay stored as silenced willing gestures in the body’s tissues (especially in the proteins of the muscles). The original lyre as the Egyptians still knew has no head, but a bended neck, and the strings connected to the belly. Likewise plays the human soul upon the organs and intestines by means of the nerve system, particularly the part of it called autonomous, which is connected with the little brains (the Small Dipper). So the Lyre is closely connected to the human nerve system; the fixed tones that brings forth a string instrument are reflections of astral activities, which occur in the feeling as intervals. Inwardly it has to do with the knowledge about the fate in order to be able to develop by it. This fate is being indicated by the positions of the Sun, Moon and the planets at the sky at birth of a person; this is taken along with us as stilled sounds and likewise the inner Lyre is been put down in us, upon which base one can resonate along with the harmonic vibrations and happenings, or not. Where in man: The autonomous nerve system that is active until in the intestines and organs. Ideal: The encounter with companion people and the world to be able to develop oneself. This out of a basic faculty of sympathetically moving along, of resonating, but with the possibility of growth of consciousness. Working out as a drive: The letting flow along as
a sympathetic gesture with each mood and event in the stream of people
in which one enters or stands. The Eagle, AQUILA
Mythological: Zeus sends from the Olympos his eagle to have it eating out the liver of Prometheus, that had stolen the ego-fire from the gods and as a punishment to this was chained to the rocks (imagining the human ego being fesseled to the physical body). At night the liver grew again. Human development: The Eagle is connected with the
forces of spiritual man, to be developed by man. These forces are called
differently as intuition, and therewith it is the youngest, 7th child
of Andromeda (human soul) and Perseus (the ego). The liver is the organ
that with the composition of the bodily proteins keeps together and regulates
our fate (proteins are coagulated sound musters, that the elemental/thought
beings express until in substance, that are being stored in our muscles
as stilled fate, coagulated thoughts; when coming free, these quell forth
as willing impulses). The liver is our future organ, and with the eating
out and growing again of it is put into an image that we take with us
all the talents being developed to the sun (Zeus’ aagle flying to
the Olympos) and that we leave them there behind as our higher ego, spiritual
man force to be able to develop further upon the Earth again the ideals
and the talents that can be formed out of these that we do not yet have
(Christ as well left behind His spirit man at the sun when he incarnated
in Jezus of Nazareth). Every 7 years we transform our physical body with
new substances, and the liver plays an important role in this; the building
up takes place mostly at night. Where in man: The glands near the sexual organs and side-kidneys (suprarenals); regulate the sexual hormones and thus are connected with the wil. Ideal: Transformation of the earthly through connecting with it. The shape of the star image, a bended, transformed cross, indicates this. Working out as a drive: Searching for grip in the
earthly.
ORION Position: Between the Unicorn and the mouth of the Flood Eridanus, underneath the Bull and above the Hare. Mythological: The hunter Orion kills the bull (digestive forces with the drives that dwell in it), but is blessed at his knee: like this he stands at the sky, and at the right moment that he descends, Scorpion rises (sexual forces as archetypical drive); The connection via the soul (animal) with the Earth. In Egypt this star image was viewed as Osiris (Christ) that has been scattered in the elements, but that resurrects in Horus; in that sense Christ as the resurrected lord over the life worlds. Human development: The archetype for the son of man that builds himself out of all four elements, and that forms the 5th element from the heart. Where in man: The resurrection of the embryo of the son of man in the belly´s cave in between the 10 and the 6 petalled lotus flowers; work on the four elements; constructing along to the New Jerusalem in a creative way. Ideal: The force of courage to break through the surface of phenomena and to wish for searching the spirit and realising it on the Earth. Letting the light shine in the darkness. Working out as a drive: A wish to contain and transform.
PHOENIX Position: Connecting to the Flood Eridanus, underneath of the Sculptor, besides the Tucan and Crux, and above The Little Water Snake, at the borders of the zones of Waterman and Pisces. Mythological: The bird that after his life burns itself and resurrects from the ashes in a rejuvenated way. This occurs in four stages. The star image stands at the end, the source of the Flood Eridanus. This is the archetype for the hereditary flow over 42 generations, in which a people is embedded. In this way each human passes over his personal attainments via the hereditary flow to the folk soul, which is an Archangel. This rejuvenates himself with these forces as qualities, and in this way he resurrects like a phoenix from the ashes of his people (the dead, decomposing human bodies). Human development: Christ has preceded man in heredity (His earth becoming was prepared 42 couples of parents; see the Gospel of Matthew to this), and resurrected from it, just like a phoenix (conquering the Net, star image Reticulum). Man renews himself because he can observe from out of his ego, can judge about his observations (test these morally) and as well do. Therewith he transforms the Earth and himself, and carries his earthly achievements and the qualities taken from matter with him into the more refined realms of spirit, of life and of soul (as a first step of development follows the etherised Earth). Where in man: The transformed, etherised physical body out of the individualised phantom body in which the star forces are being woven in as ideals, but not yet conscious and spiritualised in itself. Ideal: The spiritualization of the earthly through the own force; the lighting through of matter out of insight and acting force. Working out as a drive: Making evaporate, a tendency to make everything airy (‘The unbearable lightness of existence’).
Mythological: A snake has to do with desire; a water snake with the desire for the life world and its activities. Human development: A sensitive organ for unclear and hardened food remnants is our appendix; in future this can help us to learn the way in the life world, when this is even more troubled by all the demons that seize upon it and do their jobs. Where in man: The appendix as the future organ with which we can live under messy and impure circumstances. Upon the future Jupiter-Earth we will be surrounded by noisy demons that develop out of our present-day machines. Problably the appendix will later be working as an immunity apparatus and observational organ in that troubled life world; give there the distinguishing faculty in the fallen ether world (of superfluous electromagnetical pollution and set free nuclear forces). The rat has a very large intestine part at the site of our appendix; it hides in it an enlargened immunity apparatus. Ideal: Living in and between the impure in order to be able to transform it and drag it with in the own transforming purifying process. Working out as a drive: Attraction to the unfinished, delight, desire for life workings. The WHALE, CETUS
Mythological: The sea monster that tries to swallow Andromeda (the human soul, being chained to the rocks, viz.the human body). The biblical story of Jonas tells that he is being swallowed by a whale, which means to say that he followed an initiation road in the life world, wherewith he was being enveloped by a large and warm being, an Angel – so he did not go this road completely by himself. Human development: Revelations out of the spiritual world before the human ego fully has been awakened (as in the oracle of Delfi). Therefore stem many prophesies from it (messenges from the spiritual world that have not been worked through by the ego), and guruism. This may cause the human soul (Andromeda) to get lost or be swallowed, for she needs light and equilibrance to be able to find her way in the life world. Where in man: The warmth cover of the ego around the body; the ego that in the will is working from the outside. Ideal: A willing to foresee the future in order to be able to anticipate to it. Working out as a drive: Making suppositions and presumptions,
be it based or not.
As well can be ordered ornaments after the star image sculptures.
All the sculptures described above can be ordered. In dialogue arise the better designs.

ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTOR Nicolaas Marius de Jong, a Dutch writer, composer,
sculptor and astrosopher, has come to the construction of musical instruments
after a search for the sense within and behind the living; at first via
the scientifical way of approaching in the common biology, where however
he saw life being killed and cut up in small pieces. Later on, being guided
by his own inner experiences within nature, within himself and in human
interactions, he has applied himself to the observation of life processes
within nature and within himself, out of which he developed an objective
method of observation that starts with the singing together of the life
processes. This in accordance with the third step of Goethian phenomenology;
there where can be experienced the inner guidance in the creational process
that forms the base for the phenomena. In astrology he found back in static
images the big cosmical forces and workings behind life. With the help
of Anthroposophy he has made these cosmical tools appliable step by step
along imaginary language, musical workings (within the four human bodies)
and plastic formative forces. To this he has made astrology in an anthroposophical
way accessible for the modern consciousness; he calls this astrosophy.
These outworkings, experiences and schooling ways to experience he has
at the one side put down into more theoretical books, at the other hand
he works these out in music theatre plays, in which players and spectators
can move and do along innerly with the cosmical forces that lay behind.
In that way they can use them as self research as well as into the natural
realms. He gives courses and workshops to get in contact with the natural
beings behind the phenomena, and help to cure them within etherical landscapes,
if requested.
