Today, the major solar Festival [1] or Full Moon of Leo (Earth and Moon in Aquarius), the eighth of the 12 Festivals of this year 6.2 dedicated to Space, Infinity and the Christ Principle of Love-Wisdom as the Bases of the New World Religion, we celebrate the breath of flame of the Mother of the World.
THE MOTHER IS THE BREATH OF INFINITY IN EVERY HEART
The Mother is the Breath of infinite Space in every Sun and Heart, she is the Rhythm of Bliss and of the Cosmic Magnet in Substance, she is Fire that generates and multiplies itself, ceaselessly, she is the vital power of the Soul that liberates Matter.
The human kingdom is increasingly called upon to activate the Heart, its solar or ‘Christic’ energies, that is to consciously collaborate with the forces of Mother Nature in the ascent along the evolutionary spiral:
“The touch of the Mother of the World should be understood as the manifestation of the Primary Energy. The Kundalini energy is called in India the power of the Mother. The development of the heart is the main task in our era. The Kundalini cannot act with full force unless the heart is developed. Verily, the fires of the heart give the sensation of inexpressible bliss. In this epoch of the rapprochement of the worlds the center of the heart is particularly intensified. However, it is even more difficult to kindle the fires of the heart than it is to accomplish the rise of the Kundalini.” (Letters of H. Roerich – 2 September 1937)
More and more the Fire of the human Heart, of the Christic or Buddhic Consciousness (see the Christic Assertion of Leo: I am), must learn to think or create forms out of Love, that is, to fecundate and ignite the Waters of Substance of the Mother, to release the creative power of the Fire and of the Magnet of Being:
“We, Brothers of Humanity, battle arduously for the balance and for the instilling of the Principle of the Mother of the World. When the understanding of creation will be confirmed, it will be possible to evince to humanity the creative power of Fire.
Humanity has so greatly violated the Magnet of Be-ness that the construction of new life must be established. Only thus can be stopped the generation of currents which now so completely engulf humanity. We, Brothers of Humanity, battle for the Cosmic Magnet and for the life principle. The time is complex, but great! In tension, amidst humanity’s monstrous incomprehension of the principle of Be-ness, We give a new Covenant. We summon humanity to that Covenant. In that great Covenant lies the principle of Be-ness. We say to humanity, “Venerate the Origins; venerate the Mother of the World; venerate the awesome Covenant of the Cosmic Magnet!” Yes, yes, yes! Thus speaks Maitreya! (Infinity I § 227)
The Fourth human Hierarchy are those lives through which the solar Logos ‘becomes aware’ of the three worlds (mental, astral and etheric/physical), they are the Hierarchy of Manas, of the Fire of the Mind which must express and radiate Love-Wisdom (Buddhi), the First Law and Quality of our present Second solar System.
Humanity, when the Fire of Evolution and Karma has raised it to its dignity as the Son of the solar Mind, as the Fourth human Hierarchy, will be the crown and the Sun of the Planet, at the service of our planetary Heart (the Hierarchy of the Masters) and of our solar Government and spiritual central Sun (Shambhala).
In Shambhala, the Fire of Life of the Father and the spatial Fire of the Mother are one and attest on Earth and in Man the Power of the Two Origins, the Glory of Unity, the guarantee of Freedom in Being, the “affirmed path to the Infinite” established by the cosmic Magnet:
“The universal Eye of Shambhala brings Bliss to mankind. The universal Eye of Shambhala is a Light on the path of mankind. The universal Eye of Shambhala is that Star which has guided all seekers.
For some, Shambhala is the Truth. For others, Shambhala is a utopia. For some the Ruler of Shambhala is a venerable sage. For others, the Ruler of Shambhala is the manifestation of riches. For some, the Ruler of Shambhala is a bedecked idol. For others, the Ruler of Shambhala is the Ruler of all Planetary Spirits. But We shall say, The Ruler of Shambhala is the fiery Impeller of Life and of the Fire of the Mother of the World. His Breath is ablaze with flame and His Heart is aglow with the fire of the Silvery Lotus.
The Ruler of Shambhala lives and breathes in the Heart of the Sun. The Ruler of Shambhala is the Invoker and the Invoked. The Ruler of Shambhala is the Sender of the Arrow and the Receiver of all arrows. The Ruler of Shambhala breathes the Truth and affirms the Truth. The Ruler of Shambhala is invincible, turning destruction into construction. The Ruler of Shambhala is the Crest of the Banner and the Summit of Life. Accept the Ruler of Shambhala as the manifestation of life; thrice I say—of life! For Shambhala is the guaranty of human aspirations. Our manifestation is guaranty of the perfecting of humanity. Our manifestation is the affirmed path to the Infinite.” (Hierarchy § 5)

1. “August, which is ruled by Leo, is the month of the Dog-star, or of Sirius, which thus brings Sirius into close relation to Leo. Leo, in the cosmic sense (and apart from our solar system altogether) is ruled by Sirius.
Sirius is the home of that greater Lodge to which our fifth initiation admits a man and to which it brings him, as a humble disciple. Later, when the new world religion is founded and is working, we shall find that the major, monthly festival in August, held at the time of the full moon, will be dedicated to the task of making contact, via the Hierarchy, with Sirian force.” (A. A. Bailey – Esoteric Astrology, p. 299)
“A stream of energy coming from the sun, Sirius (…) enters directly into the Hierarchy and carries with it the principle of buddhi, of cosmic love. This, in a mysterious way, is the principle found at the heart of every atom. (…)
The energy of Sirius by-passes (to use a modern word) Shamballa and is focussed in the Hierarchy. (…) The entire work of the Great White Lodge is controlled from Sirius; the Ashrams are subjected to its cyclic inflow; the higher initiations are taken under its stimulation, for the principle of buddhi, of pure love (i.e., love-wisdom) must be active in the heart of every initiate prior to the initiation of the great decision; (…) This Sirian influence was not recognised, and little of it was definitely focussed in the Hierarchy, until Christ came and revealed the love of God to humanity. He is the expression, par excellence, of a Sirian initiation, and it is to that high place He will eventually go…”. (A. A. Bailey – Rays and the Initiation, p. 415)
“[Sirius] is the great star of initiation because our Hierarchy (an expression of the second aspect of divinity) is under the supervision or spiritual magnetic control of the Hierarchy of Sirius. These are the major controlling influences whereby the cosmic Christ works upon the Christ principle in the solar system, in the planet, in man and in the lower forms of life expression. It is esoterically called the brilliant star of sensitivity. (A. A. Bailey – Esoteric Astrology, p. 197)
Our solar system is one in which sensitivity to contact is the dominant quality; it is in process of becoming cosmically aware; it is driven by need and environing cosmic circumstance to develop love-wisdom and both these words are descriptive and expressive of the consciousness aspect. Love is response to contact and this—in the human being—means understanding, inclusiveness and identification.
Wisdom connotes skill in action as the result of developed love and the light of understanding; it is awareness of requirements and ability to bring together into a fused relationship the need and that which will meet it.
Service is essentially a scientific mode of expressing love-wisdom (…). The evolutionary process—from the standpoint of the ordinary human being—is to make the non-sacred planet, our Earth, responsive to cosmic impacts thus bringing more inter-related and inner integration into the logoic body of expression [so that the Earth will eventually become a sacred Luminary too] (A. A. Bailey – Esoteric Astrology, pp. 493-494).
