Today, from the heliocentric point of view, Venus – the constructive energy of the higher Mind, Fifth Ray of Science and Manifestation – is in conjunction with Jupiter, the great Master and expression of the Second Ray of magnetic Love. This powerful conjunction takes place in the initiatory sign of Capricorn, which this year sees the alternating song of all the seven fundamental energies unfolding around Pluto, the luminary of First Ray. The year 2020 has all the energies necessary for the precipitation of the new Ideals which, by permeating the New Culture, lay the foundations of the New Civilization, whose bell chime will be sounded by the repeatedly mentioned conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in Aquarius (1).
Let’s continue to contemplate therefore these great vortexes of energies, knowing that we are called to respond to them and to collaborate in our field of Service, which is important and irreplaceable, however small: who can do our part, if not ourselves?
“We can consider as the fifth aspect of Space (divine Love) the ability to give shape to the ideal entities. It is the wonderful furnace where the world is born and manifests itself and where ideas take on an appearance.
Space expresses and makes knowable the original idea, reflected by the fourth virtue: through the differentiation and the multiple approximations, it revives the ideal model, which would otherwise be unknowable.
For example, in order to fully express the idea of a river, a single river is not enough. Many rivers, streams, waterways of all kinds and of various liquids are needed, in all environments, so that the idea, driven to manifest itself by a higher impulse, becomes intelligible, albeit imperfectly, in the world of forms.
The tendency to diversify is the key to understanding multiformity; it is closely connected with the third aspect of space, with the great Architect who designs the form, which is then implemented and built by the fifth.
It is therefore useful to learn to consider the objects of the physical world as symbols that tell their content through the form they have taken to describe it at best.
Mountains are symbols, as well as the sea: great signs described by space that translate the causal idea that generated them in a yet imperfect and approximate way.
The investigation of symbols is not limited to the study of geometric shapes, such as the triangle or the six-pointed star: the whole manifestation is an infinite book of symbols that everyone can read; and when we learn to recognize and understand those ideograms we glimpse the possibility of communicating with the content, penetrating into the meanings and ascending with our thought to understand and realize.
This last sentence alludes to the sixth function of Love, which we will now try to describe”.
