   To me the Pulse front cover represents the cycle (or pulse) of life that   
   results from the interplay of polar opposites: the differentiating tendency of   
   the ego and the unifying tendency of the soul. Life begins literally in the   
   sea, or metaphorically in    
   a unified state that is dominated by the soul. As the ego grows stronger, an   
   individual creature becomes differentiated from the unified sea of the soul.   
   But after that the soul calls it back into the sea of unity so that the   
   creature will not dry up in    
   isolation and decay but may find its fulfillment in the integration of its   
   developed parts.   
      
   Then the cycle may continue on a higher level, where the creature builds on   
   what has been differentiated and integrated before. Thus organized complexity   
   grows and with it the level of life and consciousness.   
      
   The cycle of life is also represented by a periodical alignment (eclipse) and   
   separation of two celestial objects.   
      
   The creature that is being formed by these cycles is represented by a symbol   
   of perception and individuality - the eye (a homonym of I).
