A luminous pentagram, in this layer of the translucent album booklet, symbolizes the voice, and shares the same center as the vajra/spirit symbol in the first layer Speaking or singing the truth aligns us with powers beyond our small self. Paraphrasing Aldous Huxley’s universal spiritual truths from his book Perennial Philosophy: (1) All that exists is dependent upon the divine ground. (2) Human beings can realize the existence of the divine ground by transrationally uniting with it. (3) Humanity possesses a double nature, both an egoic contracted self and a timeless spirit. (4) The purpose of life on earth is to identify with one's spiritual nature and achieve liberative unity with the divine ground. (5) Once liberative unity has been experienced, it is the person's responsibility to share their insight by speaking and acting in accordance with their new vision.
