Full Moon of Leo – The Mystery of the Centre

Today we celebrate the eighth of the 12 Festivals of the new world Religion, the Full Moon of Leo, the festival aimed at asserting the

Will to rule from the Centre.

The Centre of the solar System, the Sun, manifests the power of the Central Government, which asserts and exercises, as the radiant Origin of the Life of our Logos or solar Man, over all his creatures – part of his Being, of his Consciousness and of his own Body.

Through his fiery Sphere all manifest creatures receive vitality, heat and light on the physical plane; while on the inner or higher planes it is his solar and electric Fire which supplies them with Intelligence, Love and Will – the Triad of Rays or primary Qualities of Life. Depending on the level of Consciousness, or solar Power, developed with Evolution, each unit of life or creature shines and rules its Field, increasingly capable of identifying with the power and love of the Father-Mother – the original Dyad, radiant and wave-like, of its life; every Son, every consciousness, is destined to become a solar Sphere, capable of governing or radiating life in all directions.

It’s from the Centre that one rules. The solar Logos governs from the Centre the whole chain of his creative Hierarchies which express his Will, Love and Intelligence.

The Sun is the Heart of his System and the Heart is the Sun of his System: this equivalence reveals Love as a universal Motive and as the synthetic or supreme energy of our solar System (the Divine Ray: the Second Ray).

In Leo, and particularly at its Full Moon, “the major festival of the new world Religion”, sacred to the cosmic Relationship with the Sun of Suns, Sirius – higher Ego of our Sun and cosmic Source of intelligent Love – all suns or centres of power and energy, from the atomic to the complex level of the Solar System, are raised by the solar Fire of Life, which propels up and forwards the spiral of their Consciousness, or Evolution.

“Attraction to the center of the generating fire imparts consciousness to the energies. Each attraction and emission of the fire, to and from the center, leads to conscious expression. The center is the core comprising in itself the entire potential. […] Space is permeated with these centers. […]” (Agni Yoga Series, Infinity I § 384)

Each being is attracted towards and called from its higher level: thus the planetary Heart, the planetary Hierarchy made up of Centres with Group or solar Consciousness, is now attracted and powerfully stimulated by its Prototype on that Great Sun of suns, the White Lodge of Sirius.

And we, Men of the Earth, in their image and likeness, are called to imitate the art of governing of the Hierarchies of Heaven, of the Stars, in order to free or re-establish the One Humanity, the Centre and basis of Communion necessary to anchor the solar Order and evolutionary Plan on the Planet.

“All events collect around one focus. All signs point to the one focus. One manifested fire exists in everything, the seed of which attracts all corresponding energies. Thus all cosmic events are fulfilled. Hence, only a full realization of the one focus can direct the spiritual quests to the affirmed seed. The immutability of creativeness enters vitally when the focus is realized. For thus, verily, striving enters into the channel of action! Therefore, only in this way can we attain steadfastness of spirit. Thus can one be imbued with a subtle realization of Infinity.” (Agni Yoga Series, Hierarchy § 223)

Let us assert therefore the power to rule from the Centre of centres.

*

“The Sun is centred in its Heaven and rules it.
Day by day it cultivates it.
It is in the Place of the greatest sacrifice, where one is on fire.

Therefore it is the High Priest of the system and transmits the Fire of Life.

The Sun is the shining example of true power,
the one that bestows freedom,
step by step, as planned.

*

Can Order be free?

And Freedom be ordered?

The dilemma is solved only when the common Good is recognised:
when the sacred union is established;
when the illusory self is silent;
when the sacrifice is made.

Order thrives on freedom, and true freedom
is possible only through Order.”

*

The Centre is that place of Fire,
that radiant Origin of Life
which frees in order, by ordering freely.

Here is the ritual magical work of each Heart or solar Centre,

because it is beautiful what is whole around a Centre

and beauty is the sign of union.

*

“We are like the stars, which give life, love and intelligence.” [1]

*

“(…) The Focus radiates through the blending of consciousnesses. Our Focus is powerful through the blending of hearts. Our Focus is invincible, so I affirm! Thus, let the Spiritual Focus radiate in the heart of each co-worker. (Agni Yoga Series, Hierarchy § 152)
