In the timeless and magical discontinuity of the solstice we have celebrated the end of the solar year dedicated to the Goal 5.6 of the Plan (Construction of Ideals) and the simultaneous beginning of the one qualified by the Goal 5.7 (Liturgy of the Group and of the Work), which will conclude the seven-year period of Manifestation, the fifth, whose focus has been the new Culture and Civilization.
The year that ends was marked by extremely significant celestial events, which we have discussed extensively in these pages.
In addition to those connected to the destruction of old forms, caused by the conjunction of Pluto and Saturn in Capricorn, the conjunction in Aquarius of Jupiter and Saturn, the Builders of the solar Plan (conjunction which took place, from a heliocentric point of view and therefore on the level causes, on November 2, 2020 and found its fulfillment in the world of effects, with the geocentric union of the two Luminaries, at the winter Solstice), is particularly important with reference to “the advancement of what is new”.
This interlude of “precipitation” has been intensely experienced by many disciples of the world as a time of waiting and expectation and is now leading to a luminous and unifying gesture in which the “Archers of the Army of Light” of all types and levels turn to Heaven their fiery hearts to determine the direction and shoot the arrow of their commitment towards the supreme stellar sources that rule our local universe, thus celebrating the coming age of Aquarius, a harbinger, for the distressed Humanity, of Unification, Order, Group Initiation, Collaboration with the Hierarchy and universal Brotherhood.
Incipit Vita nova! A new Life begins!
Nowadays, while our pride as ‘masters of the world’ is cracked by a microscopic virus that questions our fragile certainties and highlights our shortcomings at all levels, we know that nothing will ever be the same again.
The feeble, almost unheard, voices that have been raised in recent years, regarding the possibility of thinking in an ecological way, that is, based on the awareness of being an organ of the planet, one of its kingdoms of nature and therefore an integral part of it, of the solar System and of the whole Universe, begin to be taken – of necessity – into consideration.
This perception of unity is actually already present in our thinking since we are all connected (in a network) and we can communicate in real time with anyone in the world: we are already here and everywhere.
From the point of view of consciousness, moreover, familiarity with this way of relating to each other through luminous bonds that intersect and envelop the Earth, helps us to accept, and therefore understand, that there is a universal etheric fabric in which all relationships between spatial entities light up; the solar, planetary, human etheric fabrics are part of that universal one: we are therefore in contact with every cosmic Entity through a series of voltage reducers.
Likewise, the interdependence of nations is now evident to everyone; any behaviour, any political or financial decision taken in any remote region of the world has repercussions on the entire system.
Consequently, even in the different fields of human activity we feel that it is no longer conceivable to solve national problems by considering them separately but it is necessary to take a global view, bringing together the best minds to prepare a Plan/Project that can be suitable for improving, in an evolutionary sense, the way of life of Humanity on Earth and therefore of the planet itself. Everything is interconnected, everything is One.
Therefore, as it often happens, we do not realise that we are already experiencing the signs of the future and we continue to think – out of inertia, incapacity or immediate interests – by relying on old parameters.
On the other hand, it is not easy to revolutionize the common way of thinking since this presupposes a significant expansion of the general consciousness but, as Agni Yoga says, “the new ones will come” and they are most likely already among us: they are the ones who will rise and build the new Temple, based on the designs of the ancient Builders, but using new energies, new lights, new visions, new materials.
Today those who have the ability to observe world events with detachment and “think gracefully about the future” are very few in comparison to the global population but they are beacons that illuminate the path and trace ways of light. They are connecting within themselves with one another in an ever more conscious way: it is the enlightened thinkers, the disciples of the world who take on the responsibility of guiding and supporting the work of women and men of good will and the ‘right’ people who know how to listen to voice of the heart.
Conversely, a large part of Humanity is confused more than ever, afraid, impoverished and is easy prey to adverse forces, which hinder evolution by sowing negative thoughts and feelings, separateness, selfishness, resentments, hatred.
“[…] Evolution is propelled by a small minority. The same relation exists between the manifested and chaos. Nonetheless, cosmic evolution advances steadily. Thus, one can see that although a minority of humanity is ready to accept the reconstruction of life, the reconstruction is taking place all the same. One can thus say that only a few are ready to follow the path of evolution, but the luminous consciousness of these few provides sufficient energy. The Thinker said, “The few can carry the burden. It is not quantity that is essential.” (Agni Yoga Series, Supermundane § 645)
The strengthening of the evolutionary forces that are quickly rearranging themselves to take the field naturally prompts the reaction of the dark ones: so much is at stake, these are terrible and glorious times that require clear assumptions of responsibility. The preparation period is over and it is time to take action. The Hierarchy and Humanity are approaching to prepare the field for the coming Master.
Lights of hope, glimpses of new visions and renewed ideals, stimulated and sustained by the energies and trials that the year 5.6 has given us and for which we are grateful, ignite in the hearts.
We have crossed the threshold of the Goal 5.7 of the Plan (Liturgy of the Group and of the Work) which, since it closes the seven-year period, is linked to the first, 5.1, which says: The Mysteries, guiding centre of Culture. The liturgy is in fact the rhythmic and orderly externalisation of the Mysteries, about which, in the comment on the Goal 5.1, we read:
[…] The Mysteries, when they are active, take on appearances, rituals and rhythms suitable to the people and to the age
[…] The Mysteries serve a double aim: they elevate the consciousness of those who are ready and worthy, conferring on them continuity and power
[…] The result of the presence of the Mysteries is the establishment of an Order, organic and powerful, in consciousness
[…] The origin of the Mysteries is always a single one, as the One is the Mystery and remains inviolate. Their presence acts first on the individual man and then spreads throughout the society. They reappear secretly in a heart, from which they overflow into many others.
Nowadays it’s not us, disciples and men of good will, who can light the fire of the Mysteries, but the great Master whose coming we await. However, as we work for His return, we bring what’s needed to fuel that fire, and when all is ready and the cycle allows, the spark will fly and what is predestined will manifest. In the meantime, let’s act as if, to ensure we will be ready at the right time.
So we carefully observe the Sky and study its cycles and rhythms, imitating them, asserting them in our lives and building that common Heart which will guard this fire and let it overflow like “water of Life, poured forth for thirsty men”.
The impact of the contact with the Hierarchy that will be produced starting from 2025 will be of such power that it will lead to an initiation of the consciousness of Humanity and to the emergence of a new human Culture/Civilization, about which the Tibetan Master says:
(…) The production of the culture of any given period is simply the reflection of the creative ability and the precise consciousness of the initiates of the time — those who knew they were initiate and were also conscious of admittance into direct relation with the Hierarchy.
Civilisation is the reflection in the mass of men of some particular cyclic influence, leading to an initiation. Culture is esoterically related to those within any era of civilisation who specifically, precisely and in full waking consciousness, through self-initiated effort, penetrate into those inner realms of thought activity which we call the creative world. These are the realms which are responsible for the outer civilisation. (Alice Bailey — The Reappearance of the Christ, p. 129)
The year we are inaugurating with joy and trepidation for the destinies of the world will be a cycle of synthesis, of sacredness, of orderly activity, of rigour, of exactness and of ever closer contact with the Heavens.
In “Asserting the Planetary Plan” it is said, about this Vortex, that its scent is Solemnity, which “is the spontaneous act of the heart which recognizes the relationship with Life and its luminous laws. It is more like a smile than a frown; it expresses calm and serene joy. In brief, it is the way of being of nature, never trivial but always majestic and great, even in its most humble actions. […] Therefore this will be a decisive step for the success of the Work”.
Solemnity assumes commitment, tension, union with what’s higher. It is an armour that defends from banality and ignorance and is a bulwark against the forces of darkness.
“True solemnity is built upon the highest degree of tension. Solemnity is not rest, not satisfaction, not the end; it is, precisely, a beginning—that is, resoluteness and a march forward on the path of Light. Hardships are inevitable, for they are the wheels of striving. Terrible pressures are inevitable, for without them the explosion lacks power. How could joy arise from frivolity? Only lust lies in frivolity, while joy abides in the solemn victory of the spirit. And the victory of the spirit lies in affirmation of the unshakeable principles from which everything begins. When the Banner of Peace is being raised, you should be full of solemnity”. (Heart § 71)
In the solemn silence of the Heart, let us then gather strength. We have to let the synthesis of the work done overflow with love from the common vase and, with an act of Will, turning to the sun of the future, let us renew our vows once again, impressing into Space the luminous lines of the coming cycle.
“You are surrounded by knowledge of the past and of the future.
Blessed are those who comprehend the knowledge of the future and its ever-changing outlines.
By love will you learn the boundaries of the new structure of life.
The miracle of perception of the future will come unheralded, without cannon salute.
But the bell will summon each wayfarer lost in the forest”.
(Leaves of Morya’s Garden I § 147)
When the center of the paradigm is reached, and that center is known, then all constructions which come from it, as experiential extension moves out into becoming whole, as that whole becomes aware of it, as it shows the whole where it came from as it is of it….then that whole,(hologram) acting as each and every one in that whole, as each and every one finds it to be, as they have taken that center and put it in their whole of knowing. As the center which they now have, and can see that that center fits and solves the purpose and definition which the whole called to solve, then that recognition will pass into the mind as realization of the whole which the whole process has waited to find to finish and solve the idea and purpose which the waiting consciousness recognizes…When a definition of that whole is given in the whole script of which has defined the field of being, and the matrix of that field is now made whole as in its definition, then that recognition will at once be made, and the initiation of that will be completed…….In this way, can the whole at once be made…This is confirmed and recognized in the macrocosm, as the macrocosm must so also contain and solve the same wholeness to the microcosm, as it to the macrocosm…We have the system already to accomplish this..as the Solar Logos also accomplishes this….and we recognize that we also solve this for ourselves as we see the Higher Logos being satisfied and realized.in His Wholeness. Astrology holds this whole field of Being, as this whole field, this zodiac, is the whole field which describes the complete picture and identification of evolution and completion. The complete story of consciousness is given in the whole operation of all the parts in the horoscope or zodiac of the language of Life…This has always been the purpose of higher thought and archetype, and why mankind studies and has been given in these cosmic divine stories of the ONE.. These stories are truth waiting to be revealed and recognized, and as man so studies and experiences them, he finds himself and his truth of Being. Astrology has always been the guide and tool for the purpose to mankind’s highest realization, as the archetypes and principles in the whole drama/scrip of the Hermetic story, is confirmed everywhere in the Universe….Astrology is the Divine story to this accomplishment as is realized in the “Labors of Hercules”, and when this purpose is realized/recognized, then the Alchemy is set into the infinite motion which brings this too….Now man has a path for all to know and share…..and the higher also knows this, and when it is recognized in the lower, the micro, the the higher and lower become one and fused in the exchange……So the coming teacher will (as here) bring this recognition to the world, and the world will reciprocate in this cosmic fusion. The Hermetic order and Septenate always stand ready for this service, as this is their purpose and attract fulfillment to it with the mind. heart and will so given from it to IT. Every atom is so blessed as it so becomes the father of the child…..The stars have been evoked to this great time in the becoming of man…From Universal Galactic to Solar Rishi, to the Whole of the ALL, so will the hidden paradigm stand revealed….All planets are drawn to this service, which compose the whole field of Being in which the man defines and becomes…….that is what Astrology is for. This Astrology is the same in its purpose from higher to lower worlds and planes….as this is how Gods can Know and Become….As Centaurus so inspires to this wholeness and evolution, as this is shown in the physical constructions and layout of all systems and stars….(this is shown already to be true to science), so the corresponding microcosm must also complete and correspond. This complete whole is shown in the seed of its becoming as the Great Singularity…This Singularity solves the problem in the separation of awareness in every part, and this universal synthesis will solve all parts to the whole, as each is in the same as the other….By this is duality identified and overcome …This is the Genesis seed which predates and predicates the Being Beginning from the end…The Alpha and Omega known in the ALL, as ONE non separate. This is what the Chiron paradigm shows and does, as the Power Station which coheres and fused the heart mind and will, as it is the fusion engine built with attraction, economy and synthesis in its most perfect “form” brought to Becoming in its Being…This is the germ matrix which from all thing’s grow and become. This is the center of all true cosmology, as in the AAB material, it is the Galactic Core…..which all of the extensions reflect in their Becoming…This is the seed and spark of Cosmic Fire, and is the compass which leads all back to it…From this center where the Will of God is known, so will all be known….This is the way ahead that the teacher is now trying to bring….who is ready to Know?
Beautifully addressed.Thank you so much for your calm consideration of our present life cycle. There is much joy-filled work ahead for us all.
