It is time to look at the Heavens with new eyes. Every man, whether he knows it and believes it or not, has the whole of Heaven in his heart, and his whole life is just an attempt, very often unsuccessful, to discover it.
When the mind is cleansed of prejudice and intellectual inertia (something very rare, requiring slow cleaning work and great vigilance), Heaven appears to be the only “thing” endowed with all the characteristics and prerogatives that, since the beginning of time, men have attributed to the divine:
it is omnipresent, impassive, loving, unlimited, unitary, septenary, immaterial, eternal, ritualistic, all-encompassing, intelligent, conscious, alive, omnipotent, impersonal, and the list could go on and on, but never end…
Everything that exists and subsists comes from Heaven, and it is time to recognise this…
Those who welcome the Light that descends from Heaven with the eyes of their heart offer themselves as a field for sowing. Flowers and fruits, shining gems and precious harvests will grow from it…
Heaven, as mentioned, has all the qualities of the divine. Therefore, it is creative, and everything emanates from it, whether manifest or not. Therefore, it contains everything, real or apparent, and every development, and all Being. And so, it draws all things to itself and resolves the many into the One…
Heaven is the symbol and seat of universal communion. It knows how to divide and multiply, but without excluding, and without losing a single one of its creatures.
From any geographical location, the eyes can explore it: and there all human gazes meet and unite. All the human races that have succeeded one another on the planet have spoken of it, named it and often venerated or feared it. Heaven is the most common of human knowledges…
Heaven, therefore, while dividing and multiplying, instead of dispersing, unites and presents itself to consciousness as a universal community. A person who is sufficiently “heavenly” is never inclined to judge and exclude, but on the contrary is willing to understand, tolerate and love even those who are different.
All things have a single reason for communion: their primary origin. This is another way to return to Heaven, and since it is the homeland of all, it is venerable and sacred.
Heaven is the inspiration for that religious sense that men cannot (nor know how to) renounce without withering away… The great religions have all understood Heaven as a symbol of truth and commonality…
Beyond the doctrines, which divide and cause diatribes, lies the solemnity of Heaven, which, although not legible to the rational mind, is the great sacred and unified Book.
Looking to Heaven as sacredness and divine commonality is advice as old as the world itself. It is so ancient, and so often repeated, that many consider it banal and merely symbolic, believing that Heaven is a verbal expression and nothing more.
Today it is time to restore the truth of that warning. The times to come will probably be arid: humanity finds itself facing a desert, and must cross it. It is necessary to stock up on the water of life, to be used sparingly and ritually. But Heaven towers over all deserts, and shows itself with great clarity, revealing its gifts all the more as danger looms… in that desert, man will rediscover communion with his fellow men and with that which guides him…
The sky is a symbol of supreme order… sacred, majestic… it “shows how it’s done”, how to live aboard a spaceship launched towards distant but known destinations.
Those who look at the sky bring order to themselves. In subtle ways, this virtue reorients and reorders everything in man, from his mental and emotional states to his physical ones… its light, day or night, works magically and secretly in the consciousness, which it gradually illuminates.
Men live by Heaven.
(Enzio Savoini, Heaven in Us – from A New Model of Space, only available in Italian)
Heaven is one of the names of Space: the fiery abode of vital energy.
Heaven is Fire and is identified with Life, which generates and multiplies itself. Potentialities are translated into radiant energies, into Light, into Consciousness. Heaven is the seat of dialogue between High and Low. Here all questions emerge and all answers are found.
It is not true that Heaven is empty, it is not true that it is silent. It is true, however, that reason is incapable of probing those spaces, which appear deserted and silent. Heaven seems empty, when in truth it is an infinite reserve of energy. Dialoguing in silence with the Infinite is possible for disciples, who have no other way to communicate. Silence is essential for hearing, as we know.
Heaven, which addresses everyone, is silent in order to be heard. Heaven knows, and its knowledge is loving; therefore, it is wise.
How poorly those who see only emptiness in it live! Yet Heaven does not withdraw from them because of this, it does not abandon them, but continues to welcome them into its infinite and patient love. (from unpublished writings by E. Savoini)
(…) People do not know how to invoke the Forces of Light when threatened with danger. On the contrary, they cast their doubts, regrets, and even accusations into space, even though they are fully aware that such faintheartedness does not help them. They know that accusations are not invocations, and that only the latter can increase their strength. The ancient people acted far more sensibly. In times of danger they turned instantly to Heaven, and in silence and without thoughts opened their hearts in receptivity to the Higher Forces. They understood that earthly words are useless in such circumstances and could not express their need, and they allowed the Higher Force to flow unimpeded into their consciousness. They were certain that in time of need benevolent help would come. They knew that space is fully inhabited, and that the Good Ones are always ready to provide help… (Agni Yoga Series, Supermundane § 384)
It is therefore a matter of priority that human beings rediscover the radiant Reality of Heaven: the great common Model, that silent and transparent place which contains and nourishes every evolution, every living Entity and every Idea, and which is responsible for the development of human consciousness.
And this is a particularly propitious moment, especially for those who are living this central year of the sixth seven-year period of the Plan dedicated to the New World Religion, to rekindle the fire of this purpose in the common heart.
Today, in fact, as we celebrate the full moon of Leo, the eighth* of the twelve festivals of the new world Religion, sacred to the cosmic Relationship with the Sun of Suns, Sirius, the higher Ego of our Sun and cosmic Source of intelligent Love; in the heliocentric Heaven of causes, Neptune, God of Waters, Lord Guardian of the infinite Communion nourished by the will of Its energy of the Sixth Ray of abstract Idealism and Devotion, is reached by Asteroid 84**, assimilated to the Muse Clio: referred to as “protector of sacred waters” (water has the unifying synthesis as its key note and is the element that remembers), Clio is considered the Muse of history who celebrates the recognition of the value of others and reminds us that we must honour the Good (heroic and generous acts) and learn the lessons of the past in order to proceed and wisely build our individual and common Future.
This meeting takes place in the fiery Space of Aries, which, for the Age of Aquarius, is the source of the initial energy that determines the new Age and the main Sign through which the 1st Ray of Will-Power reaches our planetary life.
Today, therefore, with the eyes of our hearts turned to these heavenly Powers, we, united with all planetary Servers, assert the infinite Communion and, with the Wisdom of Love, anchor the Culture of Heaven, the foundation of the New World Religion, in our consciousnesses.
6/6: The New World Religion unifies the planetary Society, enhancing its common ideals and values. What makes the planetary Community converge and gather, are the natural bases common to every being: all that is better, beautiful, good, and true – that is, Reality, Heaven, and Its eternal Truths. True World Religion, the Science of the One Soul, is the Science of Space that leads to Unity through Diversity, toward a unitary Synthesis. (TPS – Asserting the Planetary Plan)
The new Religion worships on the inside the outer Heaven.
The Sky populated with stars.
The smiling Sky of the morning and of the evening.
The Sky illuminated by the Sun.
The new religion contemplates the Heaven in everything, and works and disposes according to its Law.
The new religion is for all human beings of the new Era.
(E. Savoini “Book of Rituals” p. 87)
According to the Law of Heaven:
I unite all peoples in the name of the common Good.
I love all peoples. I am a sailor of Heaven and I go from light to light.
I am the Star of Life, which is the first and last Reality and burns in the Fiery World. And all are with Me.
I am Heaven in man and man in Heaven.
I am communion and community.
I therefore call the Brothers, wherever they are, above or below, to build the common ideal together.
Io chiamo i Fratelli a costruire assieme l’ideale comune.
(Statements taken freely from the Book of Rituals by E. Savoini)

* 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)
** Asteroid discovered while it was at the ecliptic point of the star Deneb Algedi (the delta of Capricorn) and in retrograde motion at 27°27 of the Sign of Aquarius, the Sign of Brotherhood, Community and the Future, reminding us that in order to wisely build our individual and collective Future, we must value the Good (heroic and generous acts) and learn from the lessons of the past, our values, roots and shared dreams.
