I read the other day that The Statue of Liberty has 171 steps. Naturally my mind turned to Aura-Soma bottles. The 17 and the 1 stood out. That is The Star and The Magician in the Tarot Aura-Soma connection. The Statue of Liberty is a US icon and the original gateway for all immigrants in to this new world. I was therefore interested to see if the Equilibrium bottles fitted the USA in some way.
B1 and the American Dream
I have long connected B1 with the USA since the International Dialling Code for the States is + 1 and the Blue/Rescue seems very fitting with US values. I consider “the American Dream” to be a defining US value, and the B1 with its rescue for blue providses the energy to declare (throat chakra) your dream and make it a reality. This is the power of The Magician.
B17 and Freedom
The Star B17 precedes the 1 (171) in this way of looking. The Star also supports the idea of “Live your truth and follow your dream”. The path of The Star is on the male side of the Tree of Life, the side which that favours flow and freedom, the side connected to the energy of the Father. Again these are all very key themes in the US psyche: The Founding Fathers, and the Bill of Rights that guarantees freedoms. The Star resonates with the freedom to travel (flow) West (through the Wild West – again freedom) and find your fortune.
Conclusion …
All in all, the 171 steps of the Statue of Liberty, taken as the 17 and the 1, seem to resonate very strongly with the values and themes of the USA.
And still there is an alternative view of the 171. A view ultimately more consistent with numerology practice. And as i write now a view that is a perfect complement to the above view. Read about it in the next blog coming very soon …
