Right this moment we rejoice the doorway into Pisces (at 10,35pm GMT), the signal of Salvation and Liberation – by solemnly sounding forth into the residing House, bearer of the Common Consciousness, the Christic Assertion related to this Signal (see the introductory article).
BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM
*
This components is within the pages of the New Testomony handed down by the beloved Disciple, John, and is discovered within the Gospel parable wherein the Grasp, Jesus, tried to elucidate to the Jews the trail that results in everlasting Life:
“Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever obeys my phrase won’t ever see loss of life.” So the Jews stated to him, “Now we’re positive that you’re possessed. Abraham died, as did the prophets, but you say, ‘Whoever retains my phrase won’t ever style loss of life.’ Are you larger than our father Abraham, who died? Or the prophets, who died? Who do you make your self out to be?”
Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is price nothing; however it’s my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He’s our God.’ You have no idea him, however I do know him. And if I ought to say that I have no idea him, I might be such as you a liar. However I do know him and I maintain his phrase. Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; he noticed it and was glad.”
So the Jews stated to him, “You aren’t but fifty years previous and you’ve got seen Abraham?” Jesus stated to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, earlier than Abraham got here to be, I AM.” [Gospel according to John 8, 51-59]
With these everlasting, timeless phrases, He who “guides our steps in cosmic House”, within the Infinite, within the signal of the Return to the Father’s Residence (Shamballa), clarifies the Thriller of Life, sacred to the First Ray of Will and Energy and transmitted by Vulcan and Pluto, the esoteric and hierarchical ruler of Pisces. That is the important thing to “the ONE LIFE, everlasting, invisible, but Omnipresent, with out starting or finish, but periodical in its common manifestations, between which intervals reigns the darkish thriller of non-Being; unconscious, but absolute Consciousness; unrealisable, but the one self-existing actuality; really, ‘a chaos to the sense, a Kosmos to the explanation’. Its one absolute attribute, which is ITSELF, everlasting, ceaseless Movement, is named in esoteric parlance the ‘Nice Breath’, which is the perpetual movement of the universe, within the sense of limitless, ever-present House. […]”. [Helena P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine. Cosmogenesis]
Pluto filters the highly effective energies of Pisces, the signal that conveys the Second and Sixth Ray, with its First Ray vitality, thus producing within the disciple the Will to Save. Pisces, the signal of loss of life and fulfilment, is the final signal of the disciple’s journey, the one wherein he returns to the Father’s Residence on the trail that he started within the signal of Aries as a easy aspirant and ends in Pisces because the one who is aware of all, the victorious Saviour of the World, who frees humanity from enslavement to type.
Christ, with the assertion: whoever obeys my phrase won’t ever see loss of life, brings us again exactly to the thought of the disciple’s journey alongside the trail of karma, which by numerous lives permits consciousness to evolve and dissolve, on the finish of the journey, into the larger Mild.
“Not solely is it troublesome to assimilate the legislation of karma, it’s nonetheless harder to understand the elementary legislation of incarnation. But the scriptures of essentially the most historical occasions usually spoke of such a change of life. Usually have the dwellers of the Refined World communicated to earthly individuals their tidings. Regularly individuals bear in mind about their former lives. For complete ages reincarnations have been acknowledged, however later they have been once more forgotten and it was even forbidden to consider them. It’s troublesome to understand the explanation for such a battle towards the proof. Generally it could have appeared that the smart ones wished to show their consideration solely to the long run, however such knowledge can be one-sided. Folks ought to aspire to limitless information. One mustn’t command a person to not know. A person shouldn’t be disadvantaged of his proper to self-perfectment. Let it’s recognized and remembered that the Instructor of life attracts a line between previous and future.
Thus, allow us to not shut our eyes to actuality. The legislation of incarnation is simply. The kernel of the spirit is inviolable and everlasting. Infinity affirms Eternity, however everybody can visualize Infinity—which suggests everybody can understand Eternity. One mustn’t deny the statements of youngsters about their previous lives. Primarily they know what has taken place round them. Particularly these days there usually can be fast reincarnations. Many dwellers of the Refined World are hastening to return, and herein is expressed the expansion and acceleration of evolution. And in such quickening could also be seen a rapprochement between the worlds.” [Aum § 97]
However how can we observe Christ’s ideas, then, learn how to ‘obey his phrase’?
“It may be said to begin with that meditation is the science which permits us to reach at direct expertise of God. That wherein we dwell and transfer and have our being is not the item of aspiration, or an emblem to us of a divine risk. We all know God because the Everlasting Trigger and the supply of all that’s, together with ourselves. We acknowledge the Complete. We change into one with God by turning into one with our personal immortal soul, and when that large occasion takes place we discover that the consciousness of the person soul is the consciousness of the entire, and that separativeness and division, distinctions and the ideas of me and thee, of God and a toddler of God, have pale away within the information and realization of unity. Dualism has given place to unity. That is the Method of Union. The built-in Character has been transcended by an ordered means of soul unfoldment, and a aware at-one-ment has been led to between the decrease or private self and the upper or divine self.
This duality needs to be first realized after which transcended earlier than the Actual self turns into, within the consciousness of the person, the Supreme Self. It has been stated that the 2 components of man have had for lengthy ages nothing in frequent; these two components are the non secular soul and the shape nature, however they’re joined eternally (and right here lies the answer of man’s downside) by the thoughts precept. In an historical ebook of the Hindus, The Bhagavad Gita, these important phrases are discovered:
“Self is the buddy of self for him in whom the self is conquered by the Self; however to him who is much from the Self his personal self is hostile like an enemy”. And St. Paul says virtually the identical factor in his determined cry:
“For I do know that in me (that’s, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good factor; for to will is current with me; however learn how to carry out that which is sweet I discover not… For I delight within the legislation of God after the inward man: However I see one other legislation in my members, warring towards the legislation of my thoughts and bringing me into captivity to the legislation of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I’m! Who shall ship me (the true Self) from the physique of this loss of life?”
This actual self is God — God the triumphant, God the Creator, God the Saviour of man. It’s, within the phrases of St. Paul, “Christ in us, the hope of glory”. This turns into a reality in our consciousness and never merely a a lot hoped for concept.
Meditation causes our beliefs to alter into ascertained details, and our theories into confirmed expertise. The assertion of St. Paul’s stays solely an idea and a risk till, by meditation, the Christ life is evoked and turns into the dominating consider each day life.
We communicate of ourselves as divine and as sons of God. We all know of those that have demonstrated their divinity to the world, and who stand within the forefront of human achievement, testifying to schools past our scope of accomplishment. We’re aware, inside ourselves, of strivings which drive us on in the direction of information, and of inside promptings, which have compelled humanity up the ladder of evolution to its current standing of what we name educated human beings. A divine urge has pushed us ahead from the stage of the cave dweller to our trendy civilized situation. Above all, we’re conscious of those that possess, or declare to own, a imaginative and prescient of heavenly issues which we lengthy to share, and who testify to a direct manner into the centre of divine Actuality which they ask us additionally to observe. We’re instructed that it’s attainable to have direct expertise, and the keynote of our trendy occasions will be summed up within the phrases “From authority to expertise”. How can we all know? How have this direct expertise, free from the intrusion of any middleman? The reply comes that there’s a technique which has been adopted by numerous hundreds and a scientific course of which has been formulated and adopted by thinkers of all intervals, and via which they change into knowers.” [Alice A. Bailey, From Intellect to Intuition, p. 72]
“For the aim of realizing the character of the Self, we’ve got needed to come out from our everlasting dwelling in God that we’d try and endure amid the illusions of time and sense. Now we have to beat earlier than we are able to enter into the everlasting reality that lies past all seeming. In that overcoming we’ve got to grasp the flesh and amplify the spirit, despise the world to reserve it, and lose the life to seek out it.”
“Now allow us to contemplate the scenario and the processes to which we should topic ourselves if the purpose is ever to be attained. The preliminary necessities want solely simply be famous, for they’re universally acknowledged and are met partly by each newbie, or he wouldn’t be getting into upon this explicit part within the age-long pursuit of reality. We’re aware inside ourselves of duality, and of a state of warfare between the 2 elements of which we’re constituted. We’re aware of a profound dissatisfaction with bodily life as a complete, and with our incapability to understand and perceive the divine Actuality which we hope exists. Nevertheless it stays for us a matter for religion, and we would like certainty. The lifetime of the senses doesn’t appear to hold us far sufficient alongside the trail in the direction of our purpose. It’s a fluid existence which we lead, being generally carried by our excessive needs to a mountain high of marvel on which we keep simply lengthy sufficient to get a imaginative and prescient of magnificence, after which are hurled into the abyss of our each day surroundings, our animal nature and the chaotic world wherein our future locations us. We sense a certainty which ever eludes us; we attempt for a purpose which appears outdoors ourselves and which evades our most frantic efforts; we battle and battle and anguish to attain a realization to which the saints have testified and to which the Knowers of the race bear steady witness. If our will is robust sufficient and our dedication rooted in steadfast and undeterred perseverance, and if the traditional guidelines and formulation are grasped, we are able to strategy our downside from a unique approach and make the most of our psychological tools rather than emotional software and feverish want.” [Alice A. Bailey, From Intellect to Intuition, p. 91]
When the disciple’s path reaches Pisces, he comes into contact with the highly effective energies of two necessary luminaries. Pluto because the esoteric and hierarchical ruler and Jupiter because the exoteric ruler. Two main rays manifest by the rulers of this signal, the esoteric (Pluto) and the orthodox (Jupiter): the primary Ray, of Will or Energy, by Pluto, and the second, of Love-Knowledge, by Jupiter.
Pisces is the signal wherein the persona dies, the soul escapes from enslavement to type and the disciple resumes his mission as Saviour of the world; he’s subsequently on the finish of his initiatory journey on the formal degree, and is able to stroll the trail additional and function on different ranges.
“The assimilation of the upper energies, upon the proof of stress, can provide type to new energies. Matter and spirit develop by mutual assist. When the tensed present of will flows with accelerated velocity, matter is absorbed by the spirit and the capabilities of a non secular creator are carried out. Then the refining of varieties takes place. The facility of the hearth of spirit is like the ability of the hearth that melts metals. Solely by the method of melting could one type new combos. That spirit who yearns to deliver his vitality into incandescence turns into the melter of matter. What varieties and dimensions the spirit can soften, from all of the spatial matter and from our lives!
From occasions immemorial the Lords have assumed the duty of melting the consciousness. Eternity is the flame whereby new combos are wrought with out finish. Verily, the quests have gone on for ages. The place is the start? For the current, allow us to say it’s within the everlasting want for brand spanking new varieties. With the identical broad imaginative and prescient allow us to mould our future.” [Infinity I § 42]
Throughout the deserts, seas, and mountains,
You transport yourselves in a single breath.
And there, nose to nose, we meet.
There isn’t a house. Time exists not.
The facility of information is manifested.
[Leaves of Morya’s Garden I § 328]
