CAT

A cat came fiddling out of a barn,
With a pair of bagpipes under her arm.
She could sing nothing but fiddle dee dee,
The mouse has married the bumblebee.
Pipe, cat; dance, mouse;
We'll have a wedding at our good house.

*****

You see at the house is really a very big house, and it is the empire state building, symbol, really, of the will. You come out into the observation deck and there is a set of windows where your goals can be installed. You keep close track of these goals and what they will look like when they are completed. As you watch these goals you are happy and if you are not happy, then you begin to be happy by the fact that the mouse has married the bumblebee, and the pipe music which you hear very plainly a kind of amazing grace makes you very happy.

The cat is not on top of a lightbulb which symbolizes this is the card of will and inspiration. All glass bead game players have a number of windows already installed. They agree to participate at some level in the deconstruction of nuclear weapons, for they fully understand that the first glass bead game is the deconstruction of nuclear weapons, it is the order of problem solving apparatus which came about because of the existence of nuclear weapons and all associated arcane structures of mass extermination.

Inspiration

The urge to create, the upwelling of creative energy, sudden illumination, enthusiasm, inspiration, spiritual aspiration, creativity, spiritual hunger. The Power of the Spirit.

Image: Zeus's blazing keraunos (thunderbolt), in yellows, oranges and reds, stands vertically; its golden colors show that fire is a hot, active element. Crescent flames curl from the central disk and a ray descends from it, thus approximating a flaming sign of Mercury.

Commentary: The keraunos, of course, is a symbol of Zeus's will and power, but also of the flash of inspiration and creative energy. It suggests a caduceus (the wand of Mercury, the Spirit Guide) to represent spiritual aspirations and illumination.
