Talking about Luminaries, and their celestial psychogeometries, means putting Light in the foreground, that “mystery” that not only reveals all forms and makes them appear to our eyes, but creates the forms themselves, entrusting them to the game of becoming.
The second heliocentric conjunction between Mercury and Venus, which occurs today in the third sector of Capricorn, the initiatory Summit from which the supernal Light flows, focuses our attention on that burning flame that runs through Space, reverberates in infinite geometries and reaches the heart of man in which it manifests as a yearning to create, to express, to be.
“Man, an immortal creature, has access to the subtle regions, and therefore shares their virtues: he can condense Light, diffuse it and create life cycles; he is a sub-creator. Today he limits his activity to concrete, physical, mechanical programs and projects, but one day he will learn the art of initiating and sustaining accurate mental processes, without resorting to objective tools, directing them to the Common Good.” (1)
Man is therefore on the way to becoming a co-creator, and as such he will have to learn to create with Light: the Art of living is the supreme science of Light and teaches how to trace luminous thoughts that will become bright forms, free from the obtuse gravity to which they are now subject, and will manifest themselves, thanks to their fiery incisiveness, in ever more subtle and ever more causative levels of substance.
Creation will receive such radiations and human constructions will be able to reveal the Beauty and Harmony interwoven within them, forever abandoning the chaotic superficiality that is now mistaken for a “by-the-book standard”.
Mercury and Venus, Lords of the Fourth and Fifth Ray, infuse this light into human work and their intervention is decisive since “… creation is at stake between the Four and the Five…” (2). “… The Four, being the centre, being the lord of symmetries, cannot do anything if the Five does not reveal them by lending its dualism. So the dualism that could be considered as an illusory energy, seen from the threshold of the Temple, is instead an energy that expresses. And how could we admire the harmonies and symmetries that the Four composes if the Five did not represent them with its dualism?”. (3)
The mystery of creative Light, therefore, is also “… the mystery of the four and the five, great builders of forms, who work in secret, that is, from the inside out. The four arranges formal symmetries and establishes co-measurements, the five applies dualism, which is manifesting cosmic energy…”. (4)
The relationships between Mercury and Venus, as a consequence, reveal the fabric of manifestation; their cycles, their aspects, the exchanges of light that pass through the two Luminaries show us the framework of creation and also allow us to outline an operational model that helps humanity to walk the path of expression, of creation. That path which, put in another way, is the way of Art.
“In man, a true creator, expressing requires art. Here is an admirable, secret concept, indefinable by the intellect that is unable to understand it. It is a sought-after and admired blessing, however poorly explored so far. Little or nothing is known of its power, which unites the Earth to Heaven, the image to the reality, nullifying the separations between the latter and its multiple living expressions”. (5)
And even the myth, telling us about the fruit of the union between Mercury (Hermes) and Venus (Aphrodite), points out that path: the divine Hermaphrodite is the result of the union between Reality and form, between Being and becoming, between the One and the manifold. A meeting of lights capable of revealing the love between Heaven and Earth, between the enlightened mind and the loving mind, between the Model and its infinite formal representations.
A fruit whose seeds will give life to a New Culture.
Such is Art, capable of seizing the essence and giving it a form, capable of grasping the Beauty of a ray of light and with that ray illuminating life.
“It is Beauty that makes things divine”. (6)
