Aquarius Full Moon: the Ideal of Brotherhood

ARVIRAGUS: Are we not brothers?
IMOGEN: So man and man should be;
but clay and clay differs in dignity
whose dust is both alike…
(William Shakespeare – Cymbeline, Act IV, Scen 2)

The spark of Infinity must be expressed in everything. Each concept must include presupposition of its development into Infinity. There may be noted whole series of concepts which succeed each other. Neither friendship nor cooperation can be terminal. Between them and the Subtle World there must be still another something that can equally belong to the two worlds. This something is called Brotherhood. No greater concept can be named, none which could so crown human relations and correspond to the essential nature of the Subtle and Fiery Worlds. Therefore the Brotherhood is called threefold. It extends between the three worlds as a firm bridge. It is almost impossible to imagine the contact of the earthly with the Fiery World, but under the panoply of Brotherhood such confluence is made possible. (Brotherhood § 8 – Agni Yoga Collection)

If the surpassing feeling of Brotherhood is difficult in the earthly condition, nevertheless Brotherhood is entirely accessible to each aspiring mind. There is no need to make something complicated of it, if you are able to wish for your neighbour nothing that you do not wish for yourself. Thus, every day, in every task, in every thought, one may be affirmed in the realization of Brotherhood. (Brotherhood § 110 – Agni Yoga Collection)

Without beauty one cannot think about Brotherhood.
(Brotherhood § 498 – Agni Yoga)

Ode to Joy (Friedrich Schiller):
“… Gladly, as His suns fly
through the heavens’ grand plan
Go on, brothers, your way,
joyful, like a hero to victory.
Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss to all the world!
Brothers, above the starry canopy
there must dwell a loving Father…”
