Seeing Through: Inner Light and the X-Ray Atom

Four gold-edged cards fan across a black ground, none shown whole, moving from a watching wing with an open eye to a golden robot ringed in light. In a darkened room a painted screen glows, unseen rays pass through a double pack of cards, and Bohr and Moseley read the atom layer by layer, counting each element by the whole number at its heart. Beneath the images run the Katha Upanishad and the Gnostic Thunder, Perfect Mind, where what you see outside of you, you see inside of you.
