Potential, Aspiration And The Aquarian Age<\/span><\/p>\n

(Several minutes at the beginning of this lecture failed to record.) <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026We have to realize that that emptiness is the womb of new future creations.\u00a0 <\/span>What happens is people\u2019s quiet time is all-important to the future.\u00a0 <\/span>But if we have carried something all the way out to the end, that\u2019s only half of the process, because the creation has to be reborn, it has to be redeemed, it has to be resurrected, and it has to go back to the dream, or the original dream will never have that brilliance that it can have which comes as a result of carrying it out. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now the return to the dream or the taking of the totality of the experience of the creative activity is not something automatic.\u00a0 <\/span>It seems to happen after we die; our lives automatically un-spin, but in reality if we are living a spiritual life, all the processes that seem to happen on their own in creation are things that we must do voluntarily.\u00a0 <\/span>We must carry them out by ourselves, for ourselves, in full waking consciousness; and that resurrection of the dream is what we\u2019re going to be talking about this evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Just a few moments ago when we were talking about the manifestation, we mentioned that there were several problems of resistance.\u00a0 <\/span>One of the resistances that we noted was the limitation of matter.\u00a0 <\/span>Matter always has limitations as far as its relationship to our creative desire.\u00a0 <\/span>When we\u2019re doing something new and when we\u2019re carrying it into the worlds of matter, there is always ignorance.\u00a0 <\/span>We don\u2019t know what\u2019s coming, and so there is for us ignorance in creation or in moving out the creation.\u00a0 <\/span>Right now in the Age of Pisces, we may be very deep, maybe as deep as we can go in blind ignorance, because blind ignorance is one of the characteristics of the Age of Pisces. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now from a spiritual point of view, both the ignorance and the resistance of matter are the same thing.\u00a0 <\/span>They are identical.\u00a0 <\/span>That is to say, within the Absolute Being there is an assertion of spirit which knows itself, which knows being there is a realization of ignorance of things that could be but yet are not.\u00a0 <\/span>What that ignorance is focused on is what becomes matter.\u00a0 <\/span>This is what we were talking about last time we\u2019re going to look at it now in terms of dyads or poles.\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019re probably going to take up the entire blackboard with crazy diagrams and things like that. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"spirit-matter-diag-a\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>First we have The Absolute.\u00a0 <\/span>Actually, for The Absolute, we should just leave the blackboard black, because black is one of the symbols of The Absolute.\u00a0 <\/span>It is everything that is and everything that isn\u2019t, and we know not that there couldn\u2019t be else beyond what is and what isn\u2019t: being and non-being.\u00a0 <\/span>Everything else in manifest-being is a subset of The Absolute.\u00a0 <\/span>But, when we try to talk about it \u2013 when we know \u201cbeing\u201d it\u2019s undeniable, spiritual being \u2013 existential reality compared to what is non-being that produces a pole, and we said (we\u2019re going to look at this in terms of poles or dyads) and we said that even the potential, what could be, that lies between what is and what isn\u2019t \u2013 even that pole of potential is divided so that we have the potential of time and the potential of space.\u00a0 <\/span>We use time and space in a much more inclusive way than it is used in physics. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"spirit-matter-diag-b2\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>But, what we\u2019re seeing here is: time is anything in potential in which something can be projected.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Space is anything in potential in which anything can be received.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>So, no matter what kind of relationship is projected, it can take place within time.\u00a0 <\/span>No matter what kind of relationship, and when we think of spatial relationships in the simplest sense we think of all the space in this room, and then as this room continues and as this room continues, that is called extensive space.\u00a0 <\/span>Time is usually intensive and not extensive.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now what takes place in potential is spirit and matter; this is all of everything that exists.\u00a0 <\/span>We have to remember that this is all one thing<\/span>.\u00a0 <\/span>We live in a modicum and something is either more spiritual or it is more material, and they are two states of the same thing.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s not something that is separate and apart from all of the rest of creation.\u00a0 <\/span>Then we might say that The Absolute is extended in spirit and matter; it would be states of being.\u00a0 <\/span>These are states of what could be<\/em> \u2013 these are states of being of what are<\/em>.\u00a0 <\/span>Except the matter side is the unknown side; it\u2019s not fully understood.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>What is spirit is \u2013 we could say there are the Gods, but that sounds awfully theistic, but let\u2019s say they\u2019re ideas, concepts, such as a means of projecting consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Whereas in space, we have substance, shapes, forms and things of that nature, so what we\u2019re talking about here \u2013 what you can see in a very unconscious way, are various ideas that the consciousness produce in the more-unconscious matter; various kinds of states of being, various kinds of shapes, various states of matter.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s more of the form side.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>What transpires in spirit is a matter of knowledge, or it\u2019s a matter of intelligence or power or action.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s pro-active.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>What we\u2019re doing here again, is we\u2019re doing something very simplistic.\u00a0 <\/span>We could go into these things for many years, and there are books in the world that go into them.\u00a0 <\/span>Compared to knowledge and power and intelligence, there are different states of ignorance, of resistance, inertia.\u00a0 <\/span>You might say that the spirit that is creating within this congealed ignorance, and there are various states of congealed ignorance, is fighting with itself \u2013 or creating with itself, but because there is a potential of reality, and because the struggle is done for keeps, you might say the whole creation is playing make-believe for keeps.\u00a0 <\/span>And because the spirit does that, it brings reality out of potential.\u00a0 <\/span>It brings light and consciousness out of ignorance and it is an ongoing activity in The Absolute which has no limitations of any kind. \u00a0<\/span>This carries on as long or as far as the spirit can take it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>There are some unusual things that come out of this.\u00a0 <\/span>In terms of time, the spirit is the past, whereas matter is the future.\u00a0 <\/span>This does not mean that everything is going to become more material.\u00a0 <\/span>It means that since spirit is already known, we know things after the fact, and the spirit re-knows itself perpetually and keeps itself alive.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>But what is going to be in terms of spiritual reality is in matter, and that is the future.\u00a0 <\/span>Meaning to say, when we take things out of ignorance that is the spiritual future \u2013 what is going to be that has never been before.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>There are some unusual conclusions that come out of this.\u00a0 <\/span>With the kind of consciousness where there is knowledge, especially from the past, there is objectivity.\u00a0 <\/span>Whereas, when it\u2019s within the limits of matter, there is subjectivity.\u00a0 <\/span>I have a subjective point of view, because if I look at Millie I can only look at her physical body from this point of view.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s very subjective, and because my eyes are what they are, and because my nervous system is what it is, and because my consciousness is what it is, I have a very subjective view of Millie.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>That doesn\u2019t mean that I don\u2019t think she isn\u2019t perfect or that she isn\u2019t a great person or anything like that, but it is subjective, and that is what we\u2019re trying to get at.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now, obviously, as we take all of these things and we try to bring them closer to everyday life, this is obviously the realm of cause.\u00a0 <\/span>This is the realm of effect.\u00a0 <\/span>You need to say that this is a vertical kind of causation.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s not one pool ball hitting another one, this is a state of higher consciousness causing effects in a state of lower consciousness.\u00a0 <\/span>What we\u2019re talking about is all kinds of consciousness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Everything in spirit is ideal, because of the very nature of spirit, being perfect.\u00a0 <\/span>Everything that is in matter is actual, meaning that it doesn\u2019t subsist in the pure state of spiritual consciousness.\u00a0 <\/span>It subsists in a state that has become as a state of acting.\u00a0 <\/span>As a result of spiritual causes, things become.\u00a0 <\/span>Usually a state of division is two points over a plane.\u00a0 <\/span>That\u2019s the division side.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s this world and that.\u00a0 <\/span>But, in spiritual philosophy, especially in terms of evolution, civilized, and mathematic, it\u2019s better to do it two planes suspended over a dot.\u00a0 <\/span>What happens is that in the process of creation, as more and more of the dream is condensed on the spirit side, things lead more and more toward matter, or toward form, or toward bodies, and matter at the other end of being leans more and more toward spirit.\u00a0 <\/span>This would be the level of creatures.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"lecture-5-diag-c\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>When we get to the human level (this is where we are) the three-fold spirit is focused.\u00a0 <\/span>That is the middle of it all.\u00a0 <\/span>We as humans are as <\/span>Saint Paul<\/span> says, \u201ca very peculiar people\u201d in that we stand right in the middle of the creation.\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019re spiritual and material, we are creatures and creators at the same time, but it\u2019s not clear what we\u2019re going to be yet.\u00a0 <\/span>The next stage of evolution is when the stuff of matter, through the spirit working on it in the creative process, (in our case what we do every day, like Millie baking cookies or something like that) we\u2019re working on matter.\u00a0 <\/span>We are bringing the potential out of matter.\u00a0 <\/span>So, matter is becoming spiritualized in the same way that spirit was becoming materialized.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"lecture-5-diag-d\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The next stage in the activity is where the interplay between matter and spirit self consciously \u2013 where each enters into the other.\u00a0 <\/span>Spirit enters more and more into matter, and as it does so, it transforms matter so that matter enters more and more into spirit.\u00a0 <\/span>When this process has been completed, you have what in spiritual things is called the spiritual diamond.\u00a0 <\/span>When matter has been taken all the way up to the spirit and spirit has become completely materialized and you have a level of completion.\u00a0 <\/span>In individual evolution this is called the diamond-hard soul body.\u00a0 <\/span>It is somebody who has taken experiences and brought them forward.\u00a0 <\/span>What happens then is (at the same time) these states of spirit begin collapsing one into another.\u00a0 <\/span>The two collapse altogether until you have one point and you have the entire creative cycle symbolized in a mathematical symbol (for you, Duncan, it\u2019s an exercise class).\u00a0 <\/span>You see what we\u2019re trying to get at?\u00a0\u00a0 \"lecture-5-diag-e3\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Wh<\/span><\/span>at we\u2019re talking about is a three-fold process.\u00a0 <\/span>The materialization of spirit, the spiritualization of matter, and it all takes place through the compounding of soul.\u00a0 <\/span>Soul is that transitional state between matter becoming spiritual.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s an ongoing process, sometimes one thing dominates more over the other.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>With instinct of consciousness, the spirit is within; is without.\u00a0 <\/span>So we have to remember that within our being there is a center where everything on this side of that center is concrete, whether it\u2019s a thought or an emotion or a burst of energy, it\u2019s concrete; it has a beginning and an end.\u00a0 <\/span>Whereas everything on the other side of that center which is the spirit part, is abstract, it\u2019s universal, it\u2019s spiritual.\u00a0 <\/span>Now, in the process, in our consciousness, the more that we go into matter, the more we externalize; and the more the consciousness becomes spiritualized, the more it becomes internalized.\u00a0 <\/span>What we\u2019re talking about here is \u201cgoing within.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Materialization is an externalization, whereas spiritualization is an internalization.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s a curious internalization, because it\u2019s not like when we walk in the door that we are in the interior of the house because even things that seem to stand outside of us we see from within as they are seen from within when we have the within kind of consciousness.\u00a0 <\/span>So, the internalization is not just a simple thing like we perceive right now, and if that isn\u2019t complicated enough for you, my presentation will make it even more complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"lecture-5-diag-f\"<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>In terms of spiritual things, the divine Will to be, the divine spirit, is the highest state.\u00a0 <\/span>Corresponding to it is physical matter, especially chemical physical matter.\u00a0 <\/span>The next state of spirit is the life spirit.\u00a0 <\/span>It is the light, the love, the imagination; it is pure truth.\u00a0 <\/span>And that spiritual life, when it awakens something out of matter (we\u2019re talking about the evolutionary creation of which we are a part of now) what it brings out of matter is the ethers.\u00a0 <\/span>So, what we\u2019re talking about is vitality, life\u2014vitality in that way.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The next area is called human spirit or abstract thought.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s still universal, but it has some limitations.\u00a0 <\/span>A = B = C is true anywhere, on any plane.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s universal, but it has a limitation within it, a formula of some kind or other.\u00a0 <\/span>All of this central area is the region of mind.\u00a0 <\/span>Reflecting from that is the nature of desire.\u00a0 <\/span>Then, right in the crux, in the middle between spirit and matter is concrete mind.\u00a0 <\/span>This is what happens when we have a mind that can bear the truth of the spirit.\u00a0 <\/span>The spirit can enter into all of its vehicles and know itself in its thinking process, through its emoting and motivating process, and through its living.\u00a0 <\/span>Even somebody who might be in a coma, in a coma for many years, existing in that state, something is being learned.\u00a0 <\/span>There\u2019s a whole metabolic process.\u00a0 <\/span>The spirit is still doing something and finally we can become conscious of ourselves materially or physically \u2013 the train of consciousness that comes from the spirit to matter and from matter back to spirit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now there\u2019s another side to this.\u00a0 <\/span>On any level, at any state of being, there is the microcosm and the macrocosm.\u00a0 <\/span>The macrocosm is the universal, unconditioned stuff of a state of being.\u00a0 <\/span>The microcosm \u2026\u2026\u2026.is an individualized way and it offers those things to the evolving beings and they take them and they carry out the creative work; they carry out the details.\u00a0 <\/span>It is a spontaneous creation; it is a spontaneous finalization of everything that is participating in the entire process.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>This is why it was always said; there\u2019s the famous myth of Zeus who had a lover who was human, and he would appear to her in various forms, and his wife who was jealous, Hera, got wind of this.\u00a0 <\/span>She figured she would have him destroy his own lover.\u00a0 <\/span>He\u2019s together with his lover and is enjoying himself so much and he says to her, \u201cYou can have whatever you want; I will give it to you.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>Hera has had his ears by this time and she says, \u201cIf he ever gives you the opportunity to receive whatever you want, ask him to see him as he actually is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>When he said \u201cyou can have whatever you want,\u201d he nodded his head, and after he nodded his head, he could not go back on his own word.\u00a0 <\/span>She said, \u201cI want to see you as you actually, really are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>He said, \u201cAsk me anything but that.\u00a0 <\/span>There are many wonderful things that I can give you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>She said, \u201cI want to see you as you are.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>From our previous talks, we have a little of the knowledge of the relationship of spirit and matter and we know a little bit about the Age of Pisces versus the Age of Aquarius.\u00a0 <\/span>We want to take this understanding and bring it into the activity that we are living now in the Age of Pisces and how it works into the Age of Aquarius.\u00a0 <\/span>Let\u2019s recapitulate some of the astrological points of view.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>In the cosmic mandala, the first house represents the outward personality.\u00a0 <\/span>The seventh house represents opportunities to understand the individuality and they usually come through the partners, most specifically the marriage partner.\u00a0 <\/span>On the next higher level, the vernal equinoctial point, at the beginning of Aries is the exoteric, the outer side of human history.\u00a0 <\/span>The autumnal equinoctial point represents the esoteric, it represents the more inward, so right now let\u2019s go back and look at some of the things.\u00a0 <\/span>Previously we had the Age of Aries where the outward form, the architecture and all, was very Aries-like.\u00a0 <\/span>It was very bold and simple.\u00a0 <\/span>The esotericism was the studying into the laws.\u00a0 <\/span>We read in the Bible, for example, about the laws and the prophets. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now we have the Age of Pisces and the outward form, with the equinoctial point having moved into Pisces.\u00a0 <\/span>Strangely, we find it both in <\/span>Asia<\/span> and in Western society.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s too bad those Tibetans had to copy it from the West \u2013 all those gargoyles and things like that.\u00a0 <\/span>The opposite sign, Virgo, was the sign of the clerics, so this is what we\u2019re trying to get at \u2013 the exoteric, the way of the world; the broad path of the many is indicated by the vernal point and the constellation through which it is passing, whereas the esoteric is found by the autumnal point and the constellation through which it is passing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Last time, what we looked at, we said that what is esoteric in one age becomes exoteric in the next age.\u00a0 <\/span>That is to say that all that is done esoterically, whether in alchemy or in spiritual logic, or anything like that is going to work outwardly into the scientific structure and the logical understanding of the cosmos that will be the general understanding of the Aquarian Age.\u00a0 <\/span>That\u2019s as far as we got last time.\u00a0 <\/span>And so we discussed some of the things that we could do as esoteric students in our time, and how they would affect the Age of Aquarius in the future.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now what we need to do is look at the converse of this.\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019re going to look at how the esoteric life that we have now in the Age of Pisces, how that by the same token has to do with our esoteric work in the Age of Aquarius.\u00a0 <\/span>Let\u2019s try to look at humanity en masse, as one.\u00a0 <\/span>Now there are two ways that humanity can be seen in total.\u00a0 <\/span>One is indicated again in opposites, but in a very different way.\u00a0 <\/span>Astrology, especially cosmological astrology, is a marvelous thing.\u00a0 <\/span>If we look on the cosmic mandala, the sixth house represents the state of the physical body.\u00a0 <\/span>The 12th<\/sup> house, or Pisces, represents all of humanity as a jumbled whole, so the physical body of one individual human being is indicated by one sign, whereas the opposite sign indicates that life wave that we call our present humans all together.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>If we take the labors of Heracles, the first labor of Heracles was the slaying of the Nemean Lion.\u00a0 <\/span>Spiritual development begins with the development of the vital body, and the vital body is indicated by Leo.\u00a0 <\/span>It was begun in the Sun period and it has that very vital quality about it; whereas, on the opposite side the ethers and the angels are indicated by Aquarius.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>If we continue with the same way of thinking, the next labor of Heracles was the slaying of the Laearnean Hydra and that was the control of the desire body; for controlling our emotional nature, which you can\u2019t really do very well unless you have the developed vital body.\u00a0 <\/span>The opposite side of the desire body is the macrocosmic desire body and the archangels that lived in it.\u00a0 <\/span>Similarly, the concrete mind is the next microcosmic activity.\u00a0 <\/span>At this point we see humanity all together as one lump in Pisces.\u00a0 <\/span>But in an abstract, intellectual way, humanism and relationship in an altruistic sense is indicated by Aquarius.\u00a0 <\/span>When we think of someone being human or knowing the human experience, we\u2019re talking about Aquarius.\u00a0 <\/span>Through the Bible, old and new testament, Aquarius is always symbolized by \u201cthe son of man\u201d throughout.\u00a0 <\/span>This is fascinating how this takes place \u2013 how the myths are read out, because if we read the Old Testament of the Bible, it says Reuben defiled his father\u2019s bed, which means he slept with his mother, and Reuben would then be the Uranus kind of figure and if we look at Greek mythology, Uranus slept with his mother Gaia.\u00a0 <\/span>That whole incest type of quality is there despite the fact that the societies were very different from each other and they wrote very differently from each other.\u00a0 <\/span>Aquarius represents the sign of a general enlightenment; it\u2019s where we\u2019re going.\u00a0 <\/span>It is what Paul says.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s not sure what we\u2019re going to be like, but if we\u2019re going to be a little bit lower than the angels, we\u2019re heading toward the angelic Age of Aquarius and whatever it is, it\u2019s going to be good. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>So, we\u2019re back at that point again where we\u2019re talking about externalizing things or talking about things which have been esoteric secrets \u2013 which is this whole talk, because everything we\u2019re going to say rests on it.\u00a0 <\/span>This is the crux, the center of being.\u00a0 <\/span>You can see that, so to speak, as the eye of God, because it is where the spirit focuses into matter and where the personality reaches toward the spirit.\u00a0 <\/span>It has to go through that center, which is why concentration and bringing one\u2019s consciousness to a point to break through to that other side in the highest sense possible is such an important exercise.\u00a0 <\/span>It is because the center of the mind is the focus of where The Absolute is centered in that same spot in the center of the mind \u2013 the part that no one else can penetrate, the part that only we ourselves can point ourselves into \u2013 that Absolute is focused there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now, this eye is both a lens and a mirror.\u00a0 <\/span>The spirit can reflect off of it and see itself in reflection, and that\u2019s called immaculate conception; <\/em>\u00a0<\/span>it\u2019s when the spirit knows itself by reflecting through its own thoughts that it has externalized from its own idea of itself.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The bottom surface of the mind, so to speak, is also a reflective surface.\u00a0 <\/span>The personality doesn\u2019t have to go all the way back to the spirit to ponder out the meaning of everything.\u00a0 <\/span>Instead it can reflect off of the mind which is a sort of automatic, by impulse, kind of quality.\u00a0 <\/span>But, it is a lens in that the spirit focuses through that center, and through that center is how it manifests or projects things into the unknown, into the ignorance that brings up the ignorance, and it is through that center\u2014that the experience of external being is realized into the spirit as soul material \u2013 a very, very important activity.\u00a0 <\/span>So, it is both a center of projection and a center of reflection.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now, what we talked about last time, when we talked about what our esoteric is and what it\u2019s going to be in the future we were talking about the spirit.\u00a0 <\/span>We have this divine dream that we want to bring forward whether it\u2019s ours, or whether it\u2019s God\u2019s, or whether it\u2019s our take on God\u2019s; we\u2019re talking about the projection from the spirit into matter.\u00a0 <\/span>But, when we\u2019re talking now \u2013 when we\u2019re talking about the spiritualization of matter by taking it back into the spirit in a state of spiritual consciousness, in this, the Age of Pisces and Virgo, it\u2019s a very important time, because the esoteric work in Virgo is introspective.\u00a0 <\/span>But, it is introspective from the viewpoint of the spirit being within the body.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Previously, all introspective foci in previous cycles in the precessions of the equinox, the introspection was kind of an escapism, of people not wanting to go deeper and deeper into darkness.\u00a0 <\/span>Now with the spirit being in and fully awake and fully rational, at this time it is an introspection that can take experiences and draw them inward.\u00a0 <\/span>It is a major step forward in gathering soul material.\u00a0 <\/span>Because of this ability to consciously digest the world, and feed the spirit, and [come to] understanding, it means we can make new advances in spiritual work \u2013 and because of the self-consciousness that we have now that we\u2019ve never had before, which is based on doubt.\u00a0 <\/span>That doubt is a disintegrating thing.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s a not-believing.\u00a0 <\/span>That\u2019s a belief when you create the original conception.\u00a0 <\/span>It is in the doubting when you chip away at things and you ask questions that are in ignorance, that you dissolve things.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>At this time the esoteric world can do things that have never been done before.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Everything advances much better as a result of this.\u00a0 <\/span>This is what we were trying to get at last time when we were talking about the work that is done in Virgo of having a result in a spiritual science that will be applied to all humanity in the future.\u00a0 <\/span>It will be like a general enlightenment.\u00a0 <\/span>Since Aquarius rules the ethers, everybody will have the light; they will be able to see into the ethers that they,\u2026\u2026.,,,,from themselves. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>If it hasn\u2019t been apparent before, there is always balance and compensation in the mandala, the astrological mandala, which is the symbol of the entire cosmos.\u00a0 <\/span>When you have a very bold sign like Aries that dashes out and you have it followed by Taurus which slows things down and is more careful and gives you responsibilities, but so that you don\u2019t so bogged down in the matter of things, you have a Gemini that comes along and gives you a more perky, fresh-air kind of \u2013 what is represented by Aries and Libra or Taurus and Scorpio and things like that.\u00a0 <\/span>The Aquarian consciousness and our move into the ethers represents quite a broad generalization of things. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The compensation will come from the opposite sign.\u00a0 <\/span>It will come from Leo, so one would expect a very different kind of esotericism than the esotericism that we have now.\u00a0 <\/span>Leo represents nobility and leadership and aristocracy and centralization, just like in our picture here we have the Sun in the very center with the hierarchies all around focusing through a center of mind and then at the very center, at the core de la core, you have focus.\u00a0 <\/span>The Sun represents the stream that flows out \u2013 that flows outward into the universe.\u00a0 <\/span>In our bodies, Leo represents the heart, whereas the entire circulatory system is ruled by Aquarius.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>So we have the theme of Leo and Aquarius; the exoteric is going to be the broad, general field.\u00a0 <\/span>It will be a time of expansion, whereas inwardly the esoteric world will be nuclear.\u00a0 <\/span>It will be getting to the heart of the matter.\u00a0 <\/span>And that is the crucial\u2026\u2026.that we\u2019re getting to right now.\u00a0 <\/span>Introversion always balances extroversion.\u00a0 <\/span>In fact, they are co-taneous or simultaneous.\u00a0 <\/span>A good example of that is any time there is a manifestation of a desire impulse.\u00a0 <\/span>That desire impulse issues from the subject to the object of desire, but at the same time the impulse issues outward, automatically in that same stream there is a \u2026\u2026.so that if the relationship\u2026\u2026…\u00a0 <\/span>They\u2019re simultaneous.\u00a0 <\/span>You can\u2019t have an action without a reaction there at the same time.\u00a0 <\/span>In the same way that there is a flowing from the esotericism of the Pisces\/Virgo Age, Virgo esotericism flowing outward toward the Age of Aquarius simultaneously there is a taking of the experience of the external world in a universal sense and internalizing it into what is going to be the new esotericism in the Age of Aquarius\/Leo.\u00a0 <\/span>That esotericism is going to be a Leonine thing.\u00a0 <\/span>What we\u2019re saying is that in a very special way, our \u2026\u2026\u2026. \u2026[esotericism?]\u2026\u2026in the Age of Pisces becomes the source of soul power for doing inner work in the Age of Aquarius.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>And the thing of it is that now we can do this consciously.\u00a0 <\/span>We can consciously take the experience of our daily life, every little experience that we have and we can consciously through a focus of the mind draw it into the spirit.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s very, very important that this is what accelerates not only our individual development, but it accelerates the development of the entire cosmos. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Let\u2019s look in a few simple ways of ways that we can participate consciously in this inward flow.\u00a0 <\/span>In all of this we have to remember that what we take from without and bring in \u2013 no matter how crass it is or how cruddy it is, it does become spiritualized because spirit is the source of all the interaction with the unknown, but certainly it is important \u2013 what we take in if we are selective about what we do with the external world and about what we take from the external world.\u00a0 <\/span>What we take from the external world and how we take it within is going to be our inner consciousness.\u00a0 <\/span>In this computer age there is one of those statements: junk in, junk out.\u00a0 <\/span>What we see and what we do is what we become and if we only take in trashy perceptions of the external world, we\u2019re going to have a trashy consciousness.\u00a0 <\/span>You think about that with what you read, or what you look at in movies or in any of the experiences of the external world.\u00a0 <\/span>Participating in the external world in an emotional sense, getting the \u201cfeel\u201d of it, determines how hardened we are going to be in the future times. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Unless we do things now, we\u2019re not going to have it in our heart in the future.\u00a0 <\/span>All of the future is going to be coming through the heart.\u00a0 <\/span>Pisces, especially, represents the emotions of compassion and understanding and upliftment.\u00a0 <\/span>They become very, very important, because without them we can\u2019t have the universalized consciousness.\u00a0 <\/span>Unless we can feel them in our hearts, we cannot see them in the world.\u00a0 <\/span>If we succumb, which (in my estimation) humanity seems to be too much doing to the sort of blas\u00e9 Aquarian attitude on a low level, what\u2019s going to happen when we come to the Age of Aquarius?\u00a0 <\/span>There\u2019s a lot of talk about people wanting to be unisex people.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cI\u2019ve got to develop my inner feminine, or I\u2019ve got to develop my inner masculine.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>The fact of the matter is, you don\u2019t do that by curtailing your basic gender.\u00a0 <\/span>You don\u2019t develop the inner feminine by becoming a man that doesn\u2019t have any manly qualities.\u00a0 <\/span>I don\u2019t mean the ugly man with sweat and all of that, but unless we can be the man or play the man, the feminine within us cannot respond any more than the feminine outside of us can respond.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>There is that kind of a compensatory quality.\u00a0 <\/span>Unless we develop the feeling-ful qualities of Pisces, we are not going to develop the heart. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>This is a danger that is happening in the world right now.\u00a0 <\/span>The attitude of Pisces is an attitude of reverence, of worship, of devotion.\u00a0 <\/span>This is not happening in the world.\u00a0 <\/span>There\u2019s too much of a \u2026\u2026..tendency.\u00a0 <\/span>Oh, that belongs back in the dark ages when everybody treated everything quite piously<\/em>.\u00a0 <\/span>This is a big mistake, and if we don\u2019t think reverently in life\u2026\u2026..the human spirit in Neptune, unless we surrender to that, we will not be able to develop the esotericism of the Age of Aquarius where we are going to control the heart.\u00a0 <\/span>Every time we do something devotionally, every time we\u2026\u2026\u2026we gain control of the heart, we gain control of the blood and where it goes in the body.\u00a0 <\/span>From a spiritual point of view, the heart and the blood are one and the same thing.\u00a0 <\/span>Unless we have the ability to devotionally surrender to the spirit, we do not have that ability to control the heart which also has to be done with an indirect kind of control.\u00a0 <\/span>You don\u2019t drive the heart in the same way that you go like this with your finger.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s a different kind of a quality altogether. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now let\u2019s try to go a little bit deeper with this.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s not just an exercise that we\u2019re doing.\u00a0 <\/span>We have to remember to do that.\u00a0 <\/span>We need to discover our self within the whole.\u00a0 <\/span>We need to discover our self within all of humanity, and we need to discover the self within the whole of the universal spirit so that what we do affects not only us, but the cosmos.\u00a0 <\/span>Now the more that we give ourselves to service, and the more that we perform this activity of taking the external world into the spirit the more that we live in our soul bodies which are made of the stuff, (you can say in a way) that the divine spirit is reflected in the chemical stuff and the divine spirit is fed by conscious soul.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>The conscious soul feeds divine spirit.\u00a0 <\/span>The intellect\u2026\u2026..the intelligible intellect and so this is the soul that feeds the intellect.\u00a0 <\/span>The soul that comes out of the desire body is called the emotional soul: the human spirit, the self, the individual.\u00a0 <\/span>So, what we have, the window of time that we\u2019re living in, is open a very short time.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Our whole basic ability to be conscious at all depends on how much we have been waked up by the physical plane.\u00a0 <\/span>We are now as deep in ignorance as we are going to be.\u00a0 <\/span>Eventually the physical world is going to dissolve back into the ethers.\u00a0 <\/span>It will be reborn in other times in the cycle of things.\u00a0 <\/span>It will only be as dense as water or only as dense as air, and eventually only as dense as the chemical ethers \u2013 all the denser that the world is going to be.\u00a0 <\/span>So, it is a very, very special time that we have right now that we can focus on the stuff of this world and know it<\/span>. \u00a0<\/span>You know what I mean?\u00a0 <\/span>To know the texture of things, to know what it\u2019s capable of and even in our bodies, what certain elements or what certain foods do in our bodies wakes us up to different kinds of consciousness.\u00a0 <\/span>All of that goes into our will to be.\u00a0 <\/span>So, the work that we\u2019re talking about in the Age of Pisces of taking the external world in the deepest sense \u2013 if Pisces represents the dense physical world, and Aquarius represents the ethers, our ability to take that in the Age of Pisces determines what we are going to be able to do in our esoteric work in the next period that is coming ahead. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now we\u2019ve said that Jupiter is co-ruler of Pisces along with <\/span>Neptune<\/span> and we said that this represents uplifting\u2026\u2026\u2026This is a literal thing.\u00a0 <\/span>At this moment, the focus of the Christ, from the center of our universe, is focused in our earth not only in outer space but inner space and all of the places where it is going, as we do the activity of eating up the physical world and taking the soul material into us we enrich and we change the etheric aura of the earth.\u00a0 <\/span>Eventually, we will uplift the earth.\u00a0 <\/span>We, with our higher consciousness, will \u2026\u2026…the earth through its evolution as we go up through the different changes in the future.\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019re not just talking about personal development here.\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019re saying that if the guidance of the earth comes through the Sun, and if the guidance of us comes from our hearts, we\u2019re saying that the more that we do of getting soul material from the material world and eating it up, the more in the future through the feeling of our heart or through the sense of our heart we will have that kind of total knowledge and we will have the etheric ability to float the earth and carry it through space in sort of \u2026\u2026spiritualized by the rose never smelling as sweet as when it is crushed and we have to be willing to take crushing.\u00a0 <\/span>We have to be able to take the essence of a thing out of matter even if that represents a certain amount of personal suffering. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now, we\u2019re saying that Pisces, in a cosmological sense, represents all of humanity, and it represents this world in the lowest and deepest sense.\u00a0 <\/span>We\u2019re saying that experiencing it and especially taking the essence of that experience of it, we feed the spirit. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>We have this evolution of forms where we are saying that at the same time we\u2019re spiritualizing matter and materializing spirit, the whole business is going to be collapsing back into spiritual worlds.\u00a0 <\/span>Each of us, in our own \u2026\u2026\u2026the physical world that we can take into us whether we travel or whether we beat rocks or do sculpture or something like that of the nature of stuff, the more we have it at the heart of our being, right in the seed atom.\u00a0 <\/span>All of our future \u2026\u2026.into form depends on how much we can build into that seed atom.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>Now, this is going to sound almost like a tent meeting,\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>but the time is short.\u00a0 <\/span>The time is very short to experience the material world and know what it\u2019s like, even if it means aches and pains.\u00a0 <\/span>What this all is about is to get you to go out and shovel my walks, but you get what I\u2019m trying to get at: our ability to know the form of things, our ability to know the substance of things, to know what can and cannot be done with things.\u00a0 <\/span>You know, we\u2019re waking up to things that are used in the mineral kingdom, whether that is using a can crusher, or whether we do it by some other way, it is important.\u00a0 <\/span>Again another variation on the same theme, we have to step back.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>We can\u2019t sit back and dream.\u00a0 <\/span>We can\u2019t dream ourselves into heaven.\u00a0 <\/span>Our work is creative and we have a duty and a responsibility.\u00a0 <\/span>The sooner that we become, in a Pisces way, humbly submissive and allow ourselves to be experiencing the external world as a service to the cosmos, the quicker and better we\u2019re going to be able to progress with evolution.\u00a0 <\/span>I think that this is all the farther we\u2019re going to go tonight.\u00a0 <\/span>I think you have the whole idea of what we\u2019re talking about when we\u2019re talking about the relationship of Pisces to Leo and how it\u2019s going to affect our relation to the exoteric world and how it\u2019s going to affect our esoteric world. \u00a0<\/span>Everything that you do inwardly is eventually going to be externalized and everything that we do externally is going to be internalized and if we do this in the cosmos in harmony with the ages and in harmony with what our lives are, the better we shall be for it.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
