Djerassi Tori Gate — Gaurding the Sacred from the Profane — Image 9-15-3

A Torii Gate is a traditional Japanese Buddhist symbol.
It is a metaphoric sentinel protecting the sacred from the profane.
One is cleansed when passing through the Torii, a portal between realms.
The Djerassi ‘Tori Stargate’ stands five hundred yards west of the access road,
near the entrance to the SMIP Ranch, overlooking the ‘Project’ from its highest ridge.

Prints 9-15-0, 9-15-2, and 9-15-3 are often put together. It is a narrow gate to get through just to approach the path to the Tori. Once in front of the gate, the mystery is not always accessible, for the mind, body, and soul must be prepared to leave the world of the profane, and enter the rare inlightenment of the sacred consciousness of the creative spirit. If the journey is right, the "Stargate" will open, and passage is yours.
