Love and Perfection

We celebrate today, in the 5th quality of Taurus (4th Ray), the powerful conjunction between the Father of heavenly Light Uranus, Lord of Order (7th R) and “He who makes all things new”, and our Star, the Sun (2nd R), that reveals and unveils the “hammering” and implacable work of Vulcan (1st R, “heart of the Sun”), the divine blacksmith: it is the forge where Love and Perfection are rhythmically recast, and their light shines in the beauty of its unified essence.

The full potential tension of this celestial event is expressed in the opposition of this triad of Luminaries to Mother Earth (3rd R of active Intelligence or adaptability), transiting in the 5th quality of Scorpio where her Womb becomes the incandescent container of all ‘relentless striving towards perfection’.

It is an auspicious Date; this combination of energies spiritually offers great promise, as indicated by the Master.

“The time is severe but wondrous. It is a time of consummation and construction. It is a time of highest tension and of earthly battle. It is a time which inscribes a great page and which is building a great future…”. [Agni Yoga Series, Hierarchy § 120]

“[Taurus, with its rulers] forges the instruments of constructive living or of destruction; it forges the chains which bind or creates the key which unlocks the mystery of life; it is this forging process, with its consequent clamour, which is going on at this time in a most potent manner. Vulcan [esoteric and hierarchical Ruler] controls the anvil-like processes of time and strikes the blow which shapes the metal into that which is desired, and this is true today as never before.

He it is who is forging the way for the coming Avatar Who will—at the right moment—come forth, embodying in Himself the Will of God which is the divine will-to-good, to peace through understanding, and to right relations between men and between nations.

The Taurian influence must now be regarded as being of exceeding potency today, particularly from the angle of the subjective spiritual values; it is Taurus which is the ruler and the guiding influence of that which is occurring everywhere.” [A. A. Bailey, Esoteric Astrologia, p. 375]

If the Sun is Love, the great illuminator, Uranus is His Wisdom, expressed in a harmonious and integrated whole, and in Taurus (2018 to 2025) is the Unveiler:

“Uranus, the planet of the hidden mystery and one of the most occult of the planets ‘falls’ in this sign, producing the accentuation and the sharp division between body and soul (…). The task of Uranus, hidden in the depths, is to awaken and evoke the intuitive response of Taurus to an ever-increasing light until such time that full illumination is achieved and also the development of the spiritual consciousness—substituting these higher soul aspects for the lower form reactions. It is interesting to note that in Scorpio, Uranus is exalted which gives indication of the success of the task which the Uranian forces undertook. Achievement is attained.” [Ibidem, pp. 400-1]

“He who sought perfection could have found through Beauty the powerful laws of Being.” [Agni Yoga Series, Fiery World III § 23]

The enlightened Will acting as a tractor beam and the organising and ordering lightning of Uranus guide to the beneficial fulfilment the new Group of world servers (ruled by Taurus)* that will give to the human Heart that scientific understanding of the Beauty of Being the ‘Light of the World, teaching the Art of living and thinking out of love, to discriminate what is of the ‘earth’ and what is of the ‘sky’.

The current of Love that flows copiously from the embrace between Vulcan and Uranus pours over the Earth and urges it to realise that Perfection capable of making the ‘Truth’ veiled by appearance shine in every form.

“You have all the needed illumination and light upon all the coming problems, waiting to precipitate itself through the New Group of World Servers under the influence of Taurus, the nurturer of all illumination…”. [See for more information: A. A. Bailey, Rays and the Initiations, pp. 229-230]

Such then is the loving gaze of Uranus towards his ‘bride’ Gaea (or Gaia), the Earth:

“It is interesting to note that the seventh Ray of Ceremonial Law and Order works through Uranus which is today the transmitter of Sirian force via Pisces to the Hierarchy. From that ‘middle centre’ it passes to that sensitive band of disciples, aspirants and workers to whose hearts and hands is committed the heavy task, incident to the re-organisation and the rebuilding of the shattered world structure. The seventh ray has sometimes been called a peculiar name by Knowers. It is regarded as the ‘Ray of Ritualistic Decency’. It aids and inaugurates the appearing of a new world order, based on a spiritual drive and on aspiration, mental freedom, loving understanding and a physical plane rhythm which provides opportunity for full creative expression. To bring this about, energy from Shamballa (embodying the will-to-good) is fused and blended with the organising energy of the seventh ray and then carried to humanity along the stream of love which emanates from the Hierarchy itself.” [A. A. Bailey, Esoteric Astrology, pp. 444-5]

As in heaven so on earth, today, 9 May 2023, is a ‘birthday’ of Love and Perfection, and at the same time the European Union celebrates its 73rd anniversary, since the Schuman Declaration of 1950, considered the first official step in the creation of what is now the European Union, an example of order.

The energies of the Rays radiate and manifest on Earth, available to the New Group of World Servers to build the New Order of Right Human Relationships. This involves the strengthening of both Love and Perfection:

“Love one another—I shall send you pure thoughts.

I shall strengthen your desire for perfection.

By love would I heal the mistaken ones.

Ramakrishna says: “Love, and all will come unto thee.”

I rejoice in unveiling the manifestations of life’s complexities.”
[Agni Yoga Series, Leaves of Morya’s Garden I – The Call § 33]

“They will ask wherein is the quest for perfection. Reply: In Love, in Beauty, in Action. These three paths suffice…”. [Ibidem § 318]

“Monetary alms ought to be abolished; help can be given in the form of labor or objects. No one will be without work once the people turn to the path of the spirit. Our job is to show people how the process of perfection brings blessings not for the invisible world but for the people themselves. We call them to Our path.” [Agni Yoga Series, Leaves of Morya’s Garden II – Illumination § 94]

“Seekers can understand that one has to proceed along material lines in pursuing higher knowledge. Whoever does not love the clarity of crystals will not reach Us. Unrepeatable purity means perfection of form. One may show a crystal to a child, and the child will grasp the perfection of it. Indeed, the structure of the crystal of the community will yield perfection of form.” [Agni Yoga Series, New Era – Community § 90]

“It is inadmissible even indirectly to violate the fundamentals of cooperation. To the concepts of cooperation should be added those of teachership, of guidance, of respect for one’s fellowman, respect for oneself, and for those who follow. Precisely at present it is impossible to lessen the significance of cooperation, as a means of broadening the consciousness. One must grow to love cooperation as a pledge of general success.” [Agni Yoga Series, Fiery World II § 350]

“When people will learn to respect the Cosmic Laws, then, indeed, the Cosmic Magnet will indicate to them the path to perfection. The subtle understanding of this law can ennoble all humanity. The great law can awaken all good strivings. Pure and great love gives birth to that nobility of spirit which can regenerate man. One can easily imagine how will be manifested all the great feelings engendered by the unified heart.” [Agni Yoga Series, Fiery World III § 131]

Spiritual love can have no end, but only increase and become total and perfect.

May the One Humanity be a Magnet of solar Love

and radiate the perfection of Heaven!
