I did a straight copy paste from - http://healing.about.com/od/sabiansymbols/
Origianl "mimeographs" version
The site also says this ~ quote from the sub-chapter
Early Work on the Sabian Symbols:
"He [Marc Edmund Jones] later became disenchanted with this [the mimeographs] version, however, as he felt he had done precisely what hesought to avoid -- moralize the symbols in terms of the "white-Anglo-Saxon culture of [his] upbringing. And he became so disenchanted with that version that he asked his students not to use it."
I FEEL for Marc Edmund Jones, we are human - we DO what we are to DO, and there is enough of everything to 'fill the 360' degrees - negative positive all views, thats what makes the symbols amazing.. exploration is a valuable thing..
I thought Id post these here, I dont think they have been posted in this the origianl "mimeographs" version here yet...
