Danger and delight grow on one stalk. Scottish Proverb
The reverse side also has a reverse side. Japanese Proverb
What a difference there is between what we say and what we think. Jean Racine
We must not promise what we ought not, lest we be called on to perform what we cannot. Abraham Lincoln
What’s important is promising something to the people, not actually keeping those promises. The people have always lived on hope alone. Hermann Broch
All promise outruns performance. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises but only performance is reality. Harold S. Geneen
Never promise more than you can perform. Publilius Syrus
Commentary: ‘A Double Promise Reveals its Inner and Outer Meanings’ implies that what may at first have appeared to be simple will probably end up being more complicated than was first imagined. Things may look great on the outside, but internally there could be complications that should be considered. There may need to be an honest appraisal of what was actually said, thought or ‘Promised’, and what is actually possible in the real world.
Oracle: It may seem as though there are so many possibilities coming that could changeA Hidden Choir Being Heard In A Church Service your life on many levels, but ‘Promises’ are often more complicated than we initially think. Is this a situation with integrity or is it laced with duplicity? Look carefully at any ‘Promises’, or outcomes, that were assured or perhaps assumed in this situation. Did you expect more than was actually delivered? One’s rational understanding and emotional desires and responses can often conflict with each other. Consider the effects of the ‘Promise’ on all levels of your being. What comprehension, thoughts and emotions do you have surrounding what was said or implied? This Symbol often indicates a choice that arises between the heart and doing what you want to do and social obligation and knowing what’s right. There is much to be realized and learnt from the situation that has led you to the Oracle. There may be a need to draw another Symbol to get further information, to clarify and refine your direction.
Keywords: Rewards, but what do they bring with them? The possible implications of or reasons for any promises. Something that may look good on the outside, but prove to be difficult. Looking for consensus. Possibilities and promises. The ins and outs of situations. Not turning up. The need to look at situations from all sides. Internal vs. external realities. Catch-22 situations.

The Caution: Fickleness, insincerity and two-facedness in human relationships. Expectations without clarification. Reversals of decisions or promises. Duplicity. Manipulating people in order to achieve outcomes. Promising more than can be delivered. Endeavours or projects that are not worth the effort. Lies and misleading statements. Having a hidden agenda. Momentary pledges that are soon forgotten. Contracts that bind.

The passage you’ve shared seems to be discussing the concept of self-identity and the influence of past and future on it. “Take me as I am” suggests an acceptance of one’s current state, while the “grand donation or distribution forward and backward” could imply the impact one’s actions have over time. The “past path determinating future pattern” indicates that our previous experiences shape our future.
The text also touches on how the present is a reflection of both past and future, shaping our opportunities and actions now. It mentions an “enforced processing self-impounding in predetermined relations,” which could mean that individuals often find themselves confined by pre-existing relationships and societal patterns. This can lead to a loss of personal expression and individuality, as indicated by “depersonalised crystallisation,” where one’s unique identity becomes obscured or lost within the adopted patterns of behavior or thought.
In essence, it’s a reflection on identity, the self, and how external factors can influence and sometimes limit personal expression and growth. It’s a call to remain true to oneself while navigating the complexities of life influenced by past experiences and future expectations.

astrological sign Aries, which is symbolized by the ram and often associated with leadership, energy, and a pioneering spirit1. The “great dragon asleep in a cave” could symbolize latent potential or power that has been accumulating over time, waiting for the right moment to be unleashed.
The text speaks to a state of being “cast loose between source and destination,” which might refer to a period of transition or uncertainty, where one is influenced by both their past (“the ancient past”) and their potential future (“the near future”). It suggests a karmic balance, where actions taken now are deeply connected to past deeds and future consequences.
The mention of “mischief and mayhem” in the absence of activity could imply that without direction or purpose, one’s energy may be misdirected into less productive or chaotic endeavors. However, there’s also a sense of underlying readiness, as if one is “supremely restless while deeply restful,” prepared to spring into action when the time is right.
Finally, the passage concludes with a powerful image of resurgence and boundless potential, indicating that when the moment arrives (“when all the signal flares go off”), the individual’s “stored up power and resources” will be remarkable, leading to a future of unlimited possibilities. It’s a poetic reflection on patience, timing, and the importance of being ready to seize opportunities when they are there.

Aries 25. A man studying a sequence of random numbers. (Omega Symbol) Interacting/Inspired
(Degree Angel: NITH-HAIAH (NIT-ha-YAH) Speak Your Mind, Spiritual Wisdom and Magic)
You’re always looking for something, but sometimes you don’t know what. You are often forced to wait – you sense the time is not right to act. What you most need is to relax, to not try too hard, and to learn patience. Attuning to silence clears the pathways for messages to come through – and when the time is right, they will, effortlessly and with ease.
The Chandra Symbol for this degree is “A great dragon asleep in a cave.” In the illusion of randomness powerful and hidden orders lurk, like the dragon sleeping in the cave. We enter into what immediately IS in the NOW as if it were a cave in which we shall discover and awaken the great celestial dragon who is our self.
Pleiadian Symbol: A messenger has forgotten the message he was to deliver.
Azoth Symbol: In a garden in paradise a tree laden with secrets.
Seed Degree: Capricorn 19. In the night, someone peering into a dark window. (Omega Symbol). As we search the dark, unseen places of our experience, we come realize that we may have already found something meaningful but just aren't yet aware of what it is.
A half-eaten piece of bread. (Chandra Symbol). When we get in touch with what we truly need, and what we don't really need, we find within ourselves a great, latent power.
Fulfillment Degree: Aries 3. A sacred mirror which is kept in the inner sanctum of a temple. (Omega Symbol). Eventually we realize that anything we discover is actually another layer or facet of ourselves.
The outer casing of the Great Pyramid being removed. (Chandra Symbol). As our creative power awakens we become less and less attached to outer forms, and more able to see beyond surfaces.
Oracle
The numbers were busy changing – adding to each other, multiplying and dividing. The man kept thinking this all had meaning, and was trying to capture it. “You may try to confine us in the box of your intellect,” said the numbers, “but you will learn nothing from doing so. Each of us is eternally being born in an infinite flow. Please – come and play with us, and give up your fear of drowning.”

The Omega Symbol of Aries 25 speaks to the idea of a man studying random numbers, which could symbolize the search for meaning in the seemingly chaotic or random events of life. It suggests that there may be an underlying order or pattern that we are trying to understand.
The Degree Angel, NITH-HAIAH, associated with this degree, is about expressing oneself, seeking spiritual wisdom, and understanding the magical aspects of life12. This angelic influence encourages the sharing of insights and the pursuit of knowledge.
The Chandra Symbol presents a “great dragon asleep in a cave,” which is a powerful image of potential energy and wisdom that lies dormant within us, waiting to be awakened3. It implies that within the quiet and stillness of the present moment, there is a vast reservoir of power and self that we can tap into.
The Pleiadian Symbol of a messenger who has forgotten the message he was to deliver could represent the challenges we face in remembering and conveying our spiritual insights or life’s purpose45.
The Azoth Symbol shows a tree laden with secrets in a garden of paradise, suggesting that there are mysteries and knowledge in life that are deeply rooted and waiting to be discovered67.
The Seed Degree of Capricorn 19 indicates that in our search for meaning, we may already possess the answers we seek but are not yet aware of them3. It’s about recognizing what is truly necessary and what is not, and finding the power that comes from this discernment.
Finally, the Fulfillment Degree of Aries 3, with its sacred mirror in the temple, suggests that all discoveries are reflections of ourselves, and as we grow and learn, we peel back the layers of our own being83.
In essence, this passage is about the journey of life, where we are constantly seeking and waiting for the right moments to act, learning patience, and discovering the profound depths of our own existence. It’s a reminder that within the silence and stillness, there is a universe of wisdom to explore.
