 Seen in
cross_stitchery's journal, but I like her idea of blaming it on
mab_browne...

1. Grab the nearest book
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet!  I know you were thinking about it!  Just pick up whatever is closest.

The water being poured onto land indicates that the energy freed by the Tower is directed outwards as well as inwards; it links the unconscious with the outer reality of the physical world.  One way to describe the streams of water is as the archetypes of myth, the images through which the unconscious expresses itself.  The unconscious is a whole, without shape or division, but it emerges into awareness through the separate streams of mythology.  With the Star we have gone beyond myth to its source as formless energy; as light coming out of darkness.

From Seventy-Eight Degrees of Wisdom: A Book of Tarot by Rachel Pollack.

No, seriously, that is the book that was closest to me!  I was reading it during lunch.
