-<wrap hide>1|00:00:05|120|00:00:13|200</wrap>Hi everybody, this is Esoteric Astrology Adventure number 34. <wrap hide>2|00:00:13|960|00:00:20|720</wrap>We had a little mishap on the last adventure. I was cut short because the local area server <wrap hide>3|00:00:20|720|00:00:31|160</wrap>suddenly went down, but as I had done 50 (5-0) minutes of the webinar, I decided to retain <wrap hide>4|00:00:31|160|00:00:39|300</wrap>it, even though truncated, and to proceed from where we had come. <wrap hide>5|00:00:40|240|00:00:45|240</wrap>We are on page 77. It may seem like we've made a lot of progress, but there were several <wrap hide>6|00:00:45|240|00:00:48|660</wrap>pages in there; there were simply blank pages in the book. <wrap hide>7|00:00:49|520|00:00:57|960</wrap>We've been talking about triangles, the science of triangles, and we've been looking at three <wrap hide>8|00:00:57|960|00:00:59|360</wrap>groups of centers. <wrap hide>9|00:00:59|760|00:01:08|100</wrap>I also looked at six groups of centers from A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, pages 169 and 170. <wrap hide>10|00:01:08|740|00:01:16|720</wrap>This is a simplification here. We've been looking at a man who lives below the diaphragm: <wrap hide>11|00:01:17|340|00:01:19|980</wrap>the base of the spine, sacral and solar plexus center. <wrap hide>12|00:01:20|880|00:01:28|680</wrap>Then we've been looking at a more advanced individual, who is probably not yet the initiate <wrap hide>13|00:01:28|680|00:01:32|540</wrap>or true disciple: throat center, heart center, and ajna center. <wrap hide>14|00:01:33|420|00:01:38|680</wrap>And then the ajna center, head center, and the center in the medulla oblongata, which <wrap hide>15|00:01:38|680|00:01:45|640</wrap>tells us that this triangle in the head is activated, which occurs at the third initiation, <wrap hide>16|00:01:45|640|00:01:50|560</wrap>and will open the third eye and will give unity of vision. <wrap hide>17|00:01:51|380|00:01:59|980</wrap>And then the disciple is in the position of being able to make revelation of that unity. <wrap hide>18|00:02:00|100|00:02:01|740</wrap>So that is the initiate consciousness. <wrap hide>19|00:02:02|700|00:02:09|440</wrap>And that's just where, just about there, is where the recording just stopped. <wrap hide>20|00:02:10|120|00:02:17|000</wrap>I was reading the following. Master D.K. says, <wrap quote>"Unfortunately, the organizing principle is <wrap hide>21|00:02:17|000|00:02:23|840</wrap>not as simple as the above tabulation would make it appear, for the emphasis, the focus, <wrap hide>22|00:02:24|180|00:02:31|900</wrap>and the mode of arranging, and the vitalization, and the appearance of these esoteric triangles <wrap hide>23|00:02:31|900|00:02:33|420</wrap>varies with the ray type."</wrap> <wrap hide>24|00:02:33|710|00:02:38|940</wrap>And I was explaining that I think that is the monadic ray that is involved there. <wrap hide>25|00:02:39|340|00:02:45|980</wrap>"Always there is the tendency for activation to proceed from the third aspect to the second <wrap hide>26|00:02:45|980|00:02:46|840</wrap>to the first." <wrap hide>27|00:02:47|600|00:02:51|020</wrap>But there are variations in activation. <wrap hide>28|00:02:51|140|00:02:54|100</wrap>Every triangle has a first, second, and third aspect. <wrap hide>29|00:02:55|080|00:03:04|240</wrap>And if you're on the second ray monad, the point representing the second aspect tends <wrap hide>30|00:03:04|240|00:03:11|280</wrap>to be unfolded almost as rapidly or as rapidly as the point representing the third aspect. <wrap hide>31|00:03:12|340|00:03:24|080</wrap>And if you're on the first aspect, it is difficult to unfold the love aspect of a triangle, and <wrap hide>32|00:03:24|080|00:03:30|420</wrap>if you're on the third aspect, it's difficult to unfold <wrap hide>33|00:03:30|420|00:03:36|640</wrap>the will aspect of a triangle, and if you're on the first aspect, it's difficult to unfold <wrap hide>34|00:03:36|640|00:03:42|260</wrap>the intelligence aspect of the triangle, even though that always tends to be the first to <wrap hide>35|00:03:42|260|00:03:42|620</wrap>unfold. <wrap hide>36|00:03:42|820|00:03:51|320</wrap>So there are variations in these unfoldments which depend upon particularly the monadic <wrap hide>37|00:03:51|320|00:03:58|400</wrap>ray, and there are also various complex triangles, additional triangles, which were not mentioned <wrap hide>38|00:03:58|400|00:04:00|700</wrap>in the triangles immediately above. <wrap hide>39|00:04:01|260|00:04:03|180</wrap>As I say, this is a simplification. <wrap hide>40|00:04:03|820|00:04:08|940</wrap>When we see these three groups, this is a simplification. <wrap hide>41|00:04:10|960|00:04:19|120</wrap>The <wrap quote>science of triangles, of energy, underlies the new esoteric science, both in astrology <wrap hide>42|00:04:19|120|00:04:23|120</wrap>and in the science of laya yoga, or the science of the</wrap> centers. <wrap hide>43|00:04:24|140|00:04:31|700</wrap>The science of laya yoga deals with the method of unfolding the centers on various planes, <wrap hide>44|00:04:31|900|00:04:37|900</wrap>not only on the etheric plane, where it is probably most focused, but there is unfoldment <wrap hide>45|00:04:37|900|00:04:42|460</wrap>of centers on the astral plane and even on the mental plane, and eventually on later <wrap hide>46|00:04:42|460|00:04:48|980</wrap>there will be unfoldment of vortices or centers on the higher planes, even though they are <wrap hide>47|00:04:48|980|00:04:55|920</wrap>not drawn into the charts, even though they are not drawn into our maps, yet they are <wrap hide>48|00:04:55|920|00:05:02|940</wrap>hinted at when we are told that 35 vortices of force make a master. <wrap hide>49|00:05:04|620|00:05:11|240</wrap>Okay, both this ancient yoga and the still more ancient astrological science—it is the <wrap hide>50|00:05:11|240|00:05:19|020</wrap>D.K. of the oldest and the greatest of the sciences—the still more ancient astrological <wrap hide>51|00:05:19|020|00:05:25|620</wrap>science, have now to be studied upon a higher turn of the spiral, probably not the ultimate <wrap hide>52|00:05:25|620|00:05:30|160</wrap>turn of the spiral, but at least higher than the way we have been considering it. <wrap hide>53|00:05:30|660|00:05:37|520</wrap><wrap quote>Up till the present time, the teaching about the centers has been inherited from Atlantean <wrap hide>54|00:05:37|520|00:05:45|460</wrap>times and couched in the old forms and formulas, which are basically unsuited to our present <wrap hide>55|00:05:45|460|00:05:50|360</wrap>greatly advanced stages of development.</wrap> And you might wonder whether some of the information <wrap hide>56|00:05:50|360|00:05:58|660</wrap>that we have in the Hindu texts on the centers come into this particular category. When you <wrap hide>57|00:05:58|660|00:06:03|740</wrap>read and you contrast the way D.K. presents the centers with the way they are presented <wrap hide>58|00:06:03|740|00:06:12|380</wrap>in the old Laya Yoga books, though very interestingly, perhaps this basic defect is present. <wrap hide>59|00:06:14|000|00:06:19|680</wrap>The same can be said, he says, of orthodox astrology, namely that we have old forms of <wrap hide>60|00:06:19|680|00:06:25|300</wrap>presentation and newer ones are needed. Both these sciences, they are very closely related, <wrap hide>61|00:06:25|380|00:06:32|660</wrap>the science of astrology and of Laya Yoga, because they are both dealing with the etheric <wrap hide>62|00:06:32|660|00:06:41|520</wrap>substratum of life and with the centers. Every astrological factor is really a chakra in <wrap hide>63|00:06:41|520|00:06:48|440</wrap>itself. We are dealing with greater chakras related to lesser chakras. So <wrap quote>both these sciences <wrap hide>64|00:06:48|440|00:06:56|980</wrap>must be reoriented and rearranged. And astrology must be based upon a deeper understanding <wrap hide>65|00:06:56|980|00:07:03|660</wrap>of the relation of the planets, sacred and non-sacred, to the centers and to certain <wrap hide>66|00:07:03|660|00:07:12|160</wrap>prominent cycles of</wrap> polarization emerging as the foreordained results of periods of <wrap hide>67|00:07:12|160|00:07:25|560</wrap>crisis. When we have a crisis, it gives us the opportunity to re-polarize energy at a <wrap hide>68|00:07:25|560|00:07:34|760</wrap>higher level of vibration. Suppose there is a battle between two centers going on, let's <wrap hide>69|00:07:34|760|00:07:40|240</wrap>say the solar plexus and the heart center. That is our opportunity to re-polarize energy <wrap hide>70|00:07:40|700|00:07:49|060</wrap>in the heart center, rather than in the solar plexus where it had been previously. So, he <wrap hide>71|00:07:49|060|00:07:56|340</wrap>says the last sentence embodies a basic and important statement of truth. So let us underline <wrap hide>72|00:07:59|660|00:08:08|720</wrap>that to the centers and certain prominent cycles of polarization emerging as the foreordained, <wrap hide>73|00:08:08|860|00:08:18|280</wrap>predestined, expected results of periods of crisis. Periods of crisis are always periods <wrap hide>74|00:08:18|280|00:08:28|460</wrap>of potential growth and a lifting of the human consciousness and the human energy system <wrap hide>75|00:08:28|860|00:08:38|740</wrap>to a higher level of vibration and sensitivity. So we can welcome crises if we realize that <wrap hide>76|00:08:38|740|00:08:48|260</wrap>there is a foreordained outcome to these crises. Now we have made it to page 78, and we have <wrap hide>77|00:08:48|280|00:08:56|200</wrap>made it to page 78. And this section is called "The Centers and Triangles of Force." <wrap quote>There <wrap hide>78|00:08:56|200|00:09:05|640</wrap>are, as you well know, five non-sacred planets and seven which are regarded as sacred.</wrap> And <wrap hide>79|00:09:05|640|00:09:12|740</wrap>this is including the synthesizing planets which are sacred and even perhaps more highly <wrap hide>80|00:09:12|740|00:09:20|140</wrap>developed, essentially, than the other sacred planets. Five non-sacred planets beginning <wrap hide>81|00:09:20|140|00:09:27|380</wrap>with the dense physical vehicle, the Moon, the Earth, the etheric, Mars, astral, <wrap hide>82|00:09:28|820|00:09:35|280</wrap>Pluto, mental, that is one way of looking at it, and the Sun, the Ahamkara principle <wrap hide>83|00:09:35|280|00:09:42|580</wrap>of the personality. At least that is a lesser way of interpreting the Sun, but in accordance <wrap hide>84|00:09:42|580|00:09:54|620</wrap>perhaps with the non-sacred second-ray planet which it is said to veil. The twelve planetary <wrap hide>85|00:09:54|620|00:10:04|260</wrap>lives with their own cycles, both of rotation and revolution, points of crisis and moments <wrap hide>86|00:10:04|260|00:10:10|820</wrap>of polarization, they have all of these as they are growing, and moments of polarization <wrap hide>87|00:10:10|820|00:10:18|200</wrap>at certain levels are closely related to the seven centers. Now, I've shown you that map, <wrap hide>88|00:10:20|260|00:10:27|940</wrap>it's a tabulation really, it's on page 517 of the astrology book. Let's look at it very <wrap hide>89|00:10:27|940|00:10:34|640</wrap>quickly here. This is, yes, I've shown this to you and it's a good one to be able to reference, <wrap hide>90|00:10:35|500|00:10:46|220</wrap>517. Yes, here are the planets, and here is their relation for the average man, and for <wrap hide>91|00:10:46|220|00:10:53|880</wrap>the disciple initiate to the various centers. So average man, these are the relationships, <wrap hide>92|00:10:54|920|00:11:04|620</wrap>and we have quite a few non-sacred planets in there, Pluto, Earth, the Sun, the Earth, <wrap hide>93|00:11:04|640|00:11:11|620</wrap>and Mars, but not the Moon. And here, for disciples and initiates, the esoteric planets, <wrap hide>94|00:11:13|680|00:11:19|740</wrap>these are the esoteric rulers, sacred planets, for the most part, although Pluto is included <wrap hide>95|00:11:19|740|00:11:27|240</wrap>still at the base of the spine, and the centers to which they relate. Okay, 517 of Esoteric <wrap hide>96|00:11:27|240|00:11:34|620</wrap>Astrology. So, repeating, <wrap quote>these twelve planetary lives, <wrap hide>97|00:11:34|640|00:11:44|780</wrap>with their own cycles, points of crisis, and moments of polarization, are closely related <wrap hide>98|00:11:44|780|00:11:53|580</wrap>to the seven</wrap> centers. <wrap quote>The five centers up the spine are related to five non-sacred planets. <wrap hide>99|00:11:53|860|00:12:01|180</wrap>I wonder if we can look at how that might be. But in unevolved or average man are focused <wrap hide>100|00:12:02|140|00:12:09|660</wrap>almost entirely upon the astral plane, and in the astral body.</wrap> Well, we do have astral <wrap hide>101|00:12:09|660|00:12:16|160</wrap>centers, generally speaking, from Esoteric Healing, they have rulerships which are somewhat <wrap hide>102|00:12:16|160|00:12:25|140</wrap>at variance with the rulerships of the etheric planets, the etheric chakras. But let us take <wrap hide>103|00:12:25|140|00:12:32|040</wrap>a look at how this might be. The center, five centers up the spine, so presumably that ends <wrap hide>104|00:12:32|040|00:12:38|080</wrap>at the throat center, and here's how we would go. We would say that Pluto is at the base <wrap hide>105|00:12:38|080|00:12:46|700</wrap>of the spine, and let's see the Mars, let's skip the sacral center for the moment, Mars <wrap hide>106|00:12:46|700|00:12:55|120</wrap>is the solar plexus, the Sun is the heart, and Earth is the heart. And the heart is the <wrap hide>107|00:12:55|740|00:13:04|220</wrap>throat center. This leaves the Moon as related to the sacral center, and certainly that is <wrap hide>108|00:13:04|220|00:13:12|180</wrap>the center of generation. That is not the way the planets are listed, because Uranus <wrap hide>109|00:13:12|180|00:13:19|000</wrap>is given to the sacral center, but one can think of the instinctual Moon and the production <wrap hide>110|00:13:19|000|00:13:26|100</wrap>of form and its relationship to Cancer, the sacral center contributing to the production <wrap hide>111|00:13:26|100|00:13:37|080</wrap>of vehicles. So let us say that the Moon can be assigned to the sacral center. And then <wrap hide>112|00:13:37|080|00:13:45|960</wrap>the others are pretty well as they are found on page 517. So the five centers up the spine <wrap hide>113|00:13:46|640|00:13:53|260</wrap>are related to the five non-sacred planets, but in uninvolved or average manner focused <wrap hide>114|00:13:53|260|00:13:58|400</wrap>almost entirely upon the astral plane. So the astral centers are at least awakening, <wrap hide>115|00:13:58|860|00:14:06|920</wrap>and these vehicles are active, these planets are active in relation to the astral centers, <wrap hide>116|00:14:07|280|00:14:13|680</wrap>but not fully active, as it is only when we are really taking the second degree that we <wrap hide>117|00:14:13|680|00:14:21|660</wrap>have a fuller activation and even a fourth dimensional rotation of the astral centers. <wrap hide>118|00:14:22|440|00:14:26|720</wrap>Just the way there is a fourth dimensional rotation of the etheric centers, or some of <wrap hide>119|00:14:26|720|00:14:31|960</wrap>them at least, at the first initiation, and presumably by extension a fourth dimensional <wrap hide>120|00:14:31|960|00:14:42|360</wrap>rotation of mental centers on the lower mental plane at the third initiation. Okay, we have <wrap hide>121|00:14:42|360|00:14:48|760</wrap>to see whether we are experiencing degraded audio again. I just have to let that go with <wrap hide>122|00:14:48|760|00:15:02|520</wrap>the hope that we will be able to continue this webinar. Okay, right, at the third initiation <wrap hide>123|00:15:02|520|00:15:08|760</wrap>there are developments, the unfoldment of all nine petals in the egoic lotus, but probably <wrap hide>124|00:15:08|760|00:15:15|820</wrap>some fourth dimensional rotation of the mental chakras. Alright, <wrap quote>it should be noted that <wrap hide>1|00:00:05|120|00:00:13|200</wrap>two of the non-sacred planets, the Earth itself and the Moon, are connected with two centers <wrap hide>126|00:15:27|100|00:15:34|860</wrap>which in the higher, highly evolved man are not of dominating importance.</wrap> They may be <wrap hide>127|00:15:34|860|00:15:40|080</wrap>of importance, but they are not of dominating importance. They are not dominant; they have <wrap hide>128|00:15:40|080|00:15:50|660</wrap>been somewhat overcome. That is <wrap quote>the spleen receiving pranic emanations from the planet <wrap hide>129|00:15:50|660|00:15:57|700</wrap>on</wrap> which we live, yes, and also I would say from the Sun as well, but the spleen receiving <wrap hide>130|00:15:57|700|00:16:03|680</wrap>pranic emanations from the planet on which we live. Perhaps it is the planet mediates <wrap hide>131|00:16:03|680|00:16:10|280</wrap>the prana from the Sun, but it has its own earthly prana as well, and concerned with <wrap hide>132|00:16:10|280|00:16:16|940</wrap>the etheric and physical bodies. So, although the Earth is the ruler of the throat center, <wrap hide>133|00:16:18|260|00:16:28|920</wrap>it is also to be associated with the spleen center. Both the Sun and the Earth, which <wrap hide>134|00:16:28|920|00:16:35|740</wrap>are in a way opposites, depending on your point of vantage. If you are standing on the <wrap hide>135|00:16:35|740|00:16:40|040</wrap>Earth, the Sun is the opposite. If you are standing on the Sun, the Earth is in the opposite <wrap hide>136|00:16:40|040|00:16:50|520</wrap>sign. They both are associated with spleen. There are two types of prana. One is solar <wrap hide>137|00:16:50|520|00:16:58|900</wrap>prana and the other is the planetary prana. The pores are especially involved in the outer <wrap hide>138|00:16:59|500|00:17:07|800</wrap>planetary prana, but D.K. seems to be telling us that the spleen is also active in receiving <wrap hide>139|00:17:07|800|00:17:15|840</wrap>pranic emanations from the planet. Are they the emanations of the planet itself, or are <wrap hide>140|00:17:15|840|00:17:23|540</wrap>they mediated emanations? In other words, the Sun emanates the prana and the planet <wrap hide>141|00:17:23|540|00:17:29|660</wrap>passes it on. Anyway, the spleen is concerned with the etheric and physical bodies and their <wrap hide>142|00:17:29|660|00:17:35|300</wrap>physical relations. So, that's the Earth, and what does it say about the Moon? The Moon <wrap hide>143|00:17:35|300|00:17:44|120</wrap>is connected with a center in the chest related to the thymus gland. So, it must be veiling <wrap hide>144|00:17:44|120|00:17:51|280</wrap>a planet, I would say, in that connection. This center <wrap quote>becomes inactive in the advancement <wrap hide>145|00:17:51|910|00:17:59|060</wrap>of intellect, presumably, but has a connection with the vagus nerve prior to the awakening <wrap hide>146|00:17:59|060|00:18:05|760</wrap>of the heart</wrap> center. And one wonders whether the planet Neptune is not sometimes connected <wrap hide>147|00:18:05|760|00:18:15|580</wrap>here. There is also the idea of the reawakening of the thymus center in highly advanced individuals. <wrap hide>148|00:18:16|340|00:18:22|940</wrap>In other words, it may be active in the child, and perhaps in early man, I'm not sure. And <wrap hide>149|00:18:22|940|00:18:29|660</wrap>in advanced man, it becomes inactive, but there is the sense that as we become truly <wrap hide>150|00:18:29|660|00:18:36|800</wrap>intuitive, truly vital due to the vitalization from the soul, and in the later stages of <wrap hide>151|00:18:36|800|00:18:45|560</wrap>our evolution, that there is a center related to the thymus gland which is reawakened. So, <wrap hide>152|00:18:46|240|00:18:52|020</wrap>but it has a connection with the vagus nerve prior to the awakening of the heart center. <wrap hide>153|00:18:52|160|00:19:01|200</wrap>Well, the heart center seems to be very fully active in human beings with all types of polarization, <wrap hide>154|00:19:01|960|00:19:08|840</wrap>but the real awakening comes later. And I think we should say that real awakening of <wrap hide>155|00:19:08|840|00:19:21|200</wrap>the heart center comes later. And then this center is connected with the vagus nerve, <wrap hide>156|00:19:21|320|00:19:29|960</wrap>but prior to the real awakening, because even astrally polarized man, early mentally polarized <wrap hide>157|00:19:29|960|00:19:38|820</wrap>man, and so forth. Okay, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, <wrap hide>158|00:19:38|840|00:19:50|620</wrap>rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise. All right. Okay, unfortunately I'm <wrap hide>159|00:19:50|620|00:19:56|600</wrap>going to have to terminate this recording, as it seems that the, again, for the second <wrap hide>160|00:19:56|600|00:20:07|360</wrap>time today, there has been interference. But I will do my best to continue where we are. <wrap hide>161|00:20:08|700|00:20:14|680</wrap>And still there is twenty minutes on this little recording. Okay, so this will be the <wrap hide>162|00:20:14|680|00:20:19|740</wrap>sudden end of esoteric astrology adventure number thirty-four. Sorry.+<wrap hide>1|00:00:05|120|00:00:13|200</wrap>Hi everybody, this is Esoteric Astrology Adventure number 34. <wrap hide>2|00:00:13|960|00:00:20|720</wrap>We had a little mishap on the last adventure. I was cut short because the local area server <wrap hide>3|00:00:20|720|00:00:31|160</wrap>suddenly went down, but as I had done 50 (5-0) minutes of the webinar, I decided to retain <wrap hide>4|00:00:31|160|00:00:39|300</wrap>it, even though truncated, and to proceed from where we had come. <wrap hide>5|00:00:40|240|00:00:45|240</wrap>We are on page 77. It may seem like we've made a lot of progress, but there were several <wrap hide>6|00:00:45|240|00:00:48|660</wrap>pages in there; there were simply blank pages in the book. <wrap hide>7|00:00:49|520|00:00:57|960</wrap>We've been talking about triangles, the science of triangles, and we've been looking at three <wrap hide>8|00:00:57|960|00:00:59|360</wrap>groups of centers. <wrap hide>9|00:00:59|760|00:01:08|100</wrap>I also looked at six groups of centers from A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, pages 169 and 170. <wrap hide>10|00:01:08|740|00:01:16|720</wrap>This is a simplification here. We've been looking at a man who lives below the diaphragm: <wrap hide>11|00:01:17|340|00:01:19|980</wrap>the base of the spine, sacral and solar plexus center. <wrap hide>12|00:01:20|880|00:01:28|680</wrap>Then we've been looking at a more advanced individual, who is probably not yet the initiate <wrap hide>13|00:01:28|680|00:01:32|540</wrap>or true disciple: throat center, heart center, and ajna center. <wrap hide>14|00:01:33|420|00:01:38|680</wrap>And then the ajna center, head center, and the center in the medulla oblongata, which <wrap hide>15|00:01:38|680|00:01:45|640</wrap>tells us that this triangle in the head is activated, which occurs at the third initiation, <wrap hide>16|00:01:45|640|00:01:50|560</wrap>and will open the third eye and will give unity of vision. <wrap hide>17|00:01:51|380|00:01:59|980</wrap>And then the disciple is in the position of being able to make revelation of that unity. <wrap hide>18|00:02:00|100|00:02:01|740</wrap>So that is the initiate consciousness. <wrap hide>19|00:02:02|700|00:02:09|440</wrap>And that's just where, just about there, is where the recording just stopped. <wrap hide>20|00:02:10|120|00:02:17|000</wrap>I was reading the following. Master D.K. says, <wrap quote>"Unfortunately, the organizing principle is <wrap hide>21|00:02:17|000|00:02:23|840</wrap>not as simple as the above tabulation would make it appear, for the emphasis, the focus, <wrap hide>22|00:02:24|180|00:02:31|900</wrap>and the mode of arranging, and the vitalization, and the appearance of these esoteric triangles <wrap hide>23|00:02:31|900|00:02:33|420</wrap>varies with the ray type."</wrap> <wrap hide>24|00:02:33|710|00:02:38|940</wrap>And I was explaining that I think that is the monadic ray that is involved there. <wrap hide>25|00:02:39|340|00:02:45|980</wrap>"Always there is the tendency for activation to proceed from the third aspect to the second <wrap hide>26|00:02:45|980|00:02:46|840</wrap>to the first." <wrap hide>27|00:02:47|600|00:02:51|020</wrap>But there are variations in activation. <wrap hide>28|00:02:51|140|00:02:54|100</wrap>Every triangle has a first, second, and third aspect. <wrap hide>29|00:02:55|080|00:03:04|240</wrap>And if you're on the second ray monad, the point representing the second aspect tends <wrap hide>30|00:03:04|240|00:03:11|280</wrap>to be unfolded almost as rapidly or as rapidly as the point representing the third aspect. <wrap hide>31|00:03:12|340|00:03:24|080</wrap>And if you're on the first aspect, it is difficult to unfold the love aspect of a triangle, and <wrap hide>32|00:03:24|080|00:03:30|420</wrap>if you're on the third aspect, it's difficult to unfold <wrap hide>33|00:03:30|420|00:03:36|640</wrap>the will aspect of a triangle, and if you're on the first aspect, it's difficult to unfold <wrap hide>34|00:03:36|640|00:03:42|260</wrap>the intelligence aspect of the triangle, even though that always tends to be the first to <wrap hide>35|00:03:42|260|00:03:42|620</wrap>unfold. <wrap hide>36|00:03:42|820|00:03:51|320</wrap>So there are variations in these unfoldments which depend upon particularly the monadic <wrap hide>37|00:03:51|320|00:03:58|400</wrap>ray, and there are also various complex triangles, additional triangles, which were not mentioned <wrap hide>38|00:03:58|400|00:04:00|700</wrap>in the triangles immediately above. <wrap hide>39|00:04:01|260|00:04:03|180</wrap>As I say, this is a simplification. <wrap hide>40|00:04:03|820|00:04:08|940</wrap>When we see these three groups, this is a simplification. <wrap hide>41|00:04:10|960|00:04:19|120</wrap>The <wrap quote>science of triangles, of energy, underlies the new esoteric science, both in astrology <wrap hide>42|00:04:19|120|00:04:23|120</wrap>and in the science of laya yoga, or the science of the</wrap> centers. <wrap hide>43|00:04:24|140|00:04:31|700</wrap>The science of laya yoga deals with the method of unfolding the centers on various planes, <wrap hide>44|00:04:31|900|00:04:37|900</wrap>not only on the etheric plane, where it is probably most focused, but there is unfoldment <wrap hide>45|00:04:37|900|00:04:42|460</wrap>of centers on the astral plane and even on the mental plane, and eventually on later <wrap hide>46|00:04:42|460|00:04:48|980</wrap>there will be unfoldment of vortices or centers on the higher planes, even though they are <wrap hide>47|00:04:48|980|00:04:55|920</wrap>not drawn into the charts, even though they are not drawn into our maps, yet they are <wrap hide>48|00:04:55|920|00:05:02|940</wrap>hinted at when we are told that 35 vortices of force make a master. <wrap hide>49|00:05:04|620|00:05:11|240</wrap>Okay, both this ancient yoga and the still more ancient astrological science—it is the <wrap hide>50|00:05:11|240|00:05:19|020</wrap>D.K. of the oldest and the greatest of the sciences—the still more ancient astrological <wrap hide>51|00:05:19|020|00:05:25|620</wrap>science, have now to be studied upon a higher turn of the spiral, probably not the ultimate <wrap hide>52|00:05:25|620|00:05:30|160</wrap>turn of the spiral, but at least higher than the way we have been considering it. <wrap hide>53|00:05:30|660|00:05:37|520</wrap><wrap quote>Up till the present time, the teaching about the centers has been inherited from Atlantean <wrap hide>54|00:05:37|520|00:05:45|460</wrap>times and couched in the old forms and formulas, which are basically unsuited to our present <wrap hide>55|00:05:45|460|00:05:50|360</wrap>greatly advanced stages of development.</wrap> And you might wonder whether some of the information <wrap hide>56|00:05:50|360|00:05:58|660</wrap>that we have in the Hindu texts on the centers come into this particular category. When you <wrap hide>57|00:05:58|660|00:06:03|740</wrap>read and you contrast the way D.K. presents the centers with the way they are presented <wrap hide>58|00:06:03|740|00:06:12|380</wrap>in the old Laya Yoga books, though very interestingly, perhaps this basic defect is present. <wrap hide>59|00:06:14|000|00:06:19|680</wrap>The same can be said, he says, of orthodox astrology, namely that we have old forms of <wrap hide>60|00:06:19|680|00:06:25|300</wrap>presentation and newer ones are needed. Both these sciences, they are very closely related, <wrap hide>61|00:06:25|380|00:06:32|660</wrap>the science of astrology and of Laya Yoga, because they are both dealing with the etheric <wrap hide>62|00:06:32|660|00:06:41|520</wrap>substratum of life and with the centers. Every astrological factor is really a chakra in <wrap hide>63|00:06:41|520|00:06:48|440</wrap>itself. We are dealing with greater chakras related to lesser chakras. So <wrap quote>both these sciences <wrap hide>64|00:06:48|440|00:06:56|980</wrap>must be reoriented and rearranged. And astrology must be based upon a deeper understanding <wrap hide>65|00:06:56|980|00:07:03|660</wrap>of the relation of the planets, sacred and non-sacred, to the centers and to certain <wrap hide>66|00:07:03|660|00:07:12|160</wrap>prominent cycles of</wrap> polarization emerging as the foreordained results of periods of <wrap hide>67|00:07:12|160|00:07:25|560</wrap>crisis. When we have a crisis, it gives us the opportunity to re-polarize energy at a <wrap hide>68|00:07:25|560|00:07:34|760</wrap>higher level of vibration. Suppose there is a battle between two centers going on, let's <wrap hide>69|00:07:34|760|00:07:40|240</wrap>say the solar plexus and the heart center. That is our opportunity to re-polarize energy <wrap hide>70|00:07:40|700|00:07:49|060</wrap>in the heart center, rather than in the solar plexus where it had been previously. So, he <wrap hide>71|00:07:49|060|00:07:56|340</wrap>says the last sentence embodies a basic and important statement of truth. So let us underline <wrap hide>72|00:07:59|660|00:08:08|720</wrap>that to the centers and certain prominent cycles of polarization emerging as the foreordained, <wrap hide>73|00:08:08|860|00:08:18|280</wrap>predestined, expected results of periods of crisis. Periods of crisis are always periods <wrap hide>74|00:08:18|280|00:08:28|460</wrap>of potential growth and a lifting of the human consciousness and the human energy system <wrap hide>75|00:08:28|860|00:08:38|740</wrap>to a higher level of vibration and sensitivity. So we can welcome crises if we realize that <wrap hide>76|00:08:38|740|00:08:48|260</wrap>there is a foreordained outcome to these crises. Now we have made it to page 78, and we have <wrap hide>77|00:08:48|280|00:08:56|200</wrap>made it to page 78. And this section is called "The Centers and Triangles of Force." <wrap quote>There <wrap hide>78|00:08:56|200|00:09:05|640</wrap>are, as you well know, five non-sacred planets and seven which are regarded as sacred.</wrap> And <wrap hide>79|00:09:05|640|00:09:12|740</wrap>this is including the synthesizing planets which are sacred and even perhaps more highly <wrap hide>80|00:09:12|740|00:09:20|140</wrap>developed, essentially, than the other sacred planets. Five non-sacred planets beginning <wrap hide>81|00:09:20|140|00:09:27|380</wrap>with the dense physical vehicle, the Moon, the Earth, the etheric, Mars, astral, <wrap hide>82|00:09:28|820|00:09:35|280</wrap>Pluto, mental, that is one way of looking at it, and the Sun, the Ahamkara principle <wrap hide>83|00:09:35|280|00:09:42|580</wrap>of the personality. At least that is a lesser way of interpreting the Sun, but in accordance <wrap hide>84|00:09:42|580|00:09:54|620</wrap>perhaps with the non-sacred second-ray planet which it is said to veil. The twelve planetary <wrap hide>85|00:09:54|620|00:10:04|260</wrap>lives with their own cycles, both of rotation and revolution, points of crisis and moments <wrap hide>86|00:10:04|260|00:10:10|820</wrap>of polarization, they have all of these as they are growing, and moments of polarization <wrap hide>87|00:10:10|820|00:10:18|200</wrap>at certain levels are closely related to the seven centers. Now, I've shown you that map, <wrap hide>88|00:10:20|260|00:10:27|940</wrap>it's a tabulation really, it's on page 517 of the astrology book. Let's look at it very <wrap hide>89|00:10:27|940|00:10:34|640</wrap>quickly here. This is, yes, I've shown this to you and it's a good one to be able to reference, <wrap hide>90|00:10:35|500|00:10:46|220</wrap>517. Yes, here are the planets, and here is their relation for the average man, and for <wrap hide>91|00:10:46|220|00:10:53|880</wrap>the disciple initiate to the various centers. So average man, these are the relationships, <wrap hide>92|00:10:54|920|00:11:04|620</wrap>and we have quite a few non-sacred planets in there, Pluto, Earth, the Sun, the Earth, <wrap hide>93|00:11:04|640|00:11:11|620</wrap>and Mars, but not the Moon. And here, for disciples and initiates, the esoteric planets, <wrap hide>94|00:11:13|680|00:11:19|740</wrap>these are the esoteric rulers, sacred planets, for the most part, although Pluto is included <wrap hide>95|00:11:19|740|00:11:27|240</wrap>still at the base of the spine, and the centers to which they relate. Okay, 517 of Esoteric <wrap hide>96|00:11:27|240|00:11:34|620</wrap>Astrology. So, repeating, <wrap quote>these twelve planetary lives, <wrap hide>97|00:11:34|640|00:11:44|780</wrap>with their own cycles, points of crisis, and moments of polarization, are closely related <wrap hide>98|00:11:44|780|00:11:53|580</wrap>to the seven</wrap> centers. <wrap quote>The five centers up the spine are related to five non-sacred planets. <wrap hide>99|00:11:53|860|00:12:01|180</wrap>I wonder if we can look at how that might be. But in unevolved or average man are focused <wrap hide>100|00:12:02|140|00:12:09|660</wrap>almost entirely upon the astral plane, and in the astral body.</wrap> Well, we do have astral <wrap hide>101|00:12:09|660|00:12:16|160</wrap>centers, generally speaking, from Esoteric Healing, they have rulerships which are somewhat <wrap hide>102|00:12:16|160|00:12:25|140</wrap>at variance with the rulerships of the etheric planets, the etheric chakras. But let us take <wrap hide>103|00:12:25|140|00:12:32|040</wrap>a look at how this might be. The center, five centers up the spine, so presumably that ends <wrap hide>104|00:12:32|040|00:12:38|080</wrap>at the throat center, and here's how we would go. We would say that Pluto is at the base <wrap hide>105|00:12:38|080|00:12:46|700</wrap>of the spine, and let's see the Mars, let's skip the sacral center for the moment, Mars <wrap hide>106|00:12:46|700|00:12:55|120</wrap>is the solar plexus, the Sun is the heart, and Earth is the heart. And the heart is the <wrap hide>107|00:12:55|740|00:13:04|220</wrap>throat center. This leaves the Moon as related to the sacral center, and certainly that is <wrap hide>108|00:13:04|220|00:13:12|180</wrap>the center of generation. That is not the way the planets are listed, because Uranus <wrap hide>109|00:13:12|180|00:13:19|000</wrap>is given to the sacral center, but one can think of the instinctual Moon and the production <wrap hide>110|00:13:19|000|00:13:26|100</wrap>of form and its relationship to Cancer, the sacral center contributing to the production <wrap hide>111|00:13:26|100|00:13:37|080</wrap>of vehicles. So let us say that the Moon can be assigned to the sacral center. And then <wrap hide>112|00:13:37|080|00:13:45|960</wrap>the others are pretty well as they are found on page 517. So the five centers up the spine <wrap hide>113|00:13:46|640|00:13:53|260</wrap>are related to the five non-sacred planets, but in uninvolved or average manner focused <wrap hide>114|00:13:53|260|00:13:58|400</wrap>almost entirely upon the astral plane. So the astral centers are at least awakening, <wrap hide>115|00:13:58|860|00:14:06|920</wrap>and these vehicles are active, these planets are active in relation to the astral centers, <wrap hide>116|00:14:07|280|00:14:13|680</wrap>but not fully active, as it is only when we are really taking the second degree that we <wrap hide>117|00:14:13|680|00:14:21|660</wrap>have a fuller activation and even a fourth dimensional rotation of the astral centers. <wrap hide>118|00:14:22|440|00:14:26|720</wrap>Just the way there is a fourth dimensional rotation of the etheric centers, or some of <wrap hide>119|00:14:26|720|00:14:31|960</wrap>them at least, at the first initiation, and presumably by extension a fourth dimensional <wrap hide>120|00:14:31|960|00:14:42|360</wrap>rotation of mental centers on the lower mental plane at the third initiation. Okay, we have <wrap hide>121|00:14:42|360|00:14:48|760</wrap>to see whether we are experiencing degraded audio again. I just have to let that go with <wrap hide>122|00:14:48|760|00:15:02|520</wrap>the hope that we will be able to continue this webinar. Okay, right, at the third initiation <wrap hide>123|00:15:02|520|00:15:08|760</wrap>there are developments, the unfoldment of all nine petals in the egoic lotus, but probably <wrap hide>124|00:15:08|760|00:15:15|820</wrap>some fourth dimensional rotation of the mental chakras. Alright, <wrap quote>it should be noted that <wrap hide>125|00:15:18|860|00:15:26|560</wrap>two of the non-sacred planets, the Earth itself and the Moon, are connected with two centers <wrap hide>126|00:15:27|100|00:15:34|860</wrap>which in the higher, highly evolved man are not of dominating importance.</wrap> They may be <wrap hide>127|00:15:34|860|00:15:40|080</wrap>of importance, but they are not of dominating importance. They are not dominant; they have <wrap hide>128|00:15:40|080|00:15:50|660</wrap>been somewhat overcome. That is <wrap quote>the spleen receiving pranic emanations from the planet <wrap hide>129|00:15:50|660|00:15:57|700</wrap>on</wrap> which we live, yes, and also I would say from the Sun as well, but the spleen receiving <wrap hide>130|00:15:57|700|00:16:03|680</wrap>pranic emanations from the planet on which we live. Perhaps it is the planet mediates <wrap hide>131|00:16:03|680|00:16:10|280</wrap>the prana from the Sun, but it has its own earthly prana as well, and concerned with <wrap hide>132|00:16:10|280|00:16:16|940</wrap>the etheric and physical bodies. So, although the Earth is the ruler of the throat center, <wrap hide>133|00:16:18|260|00:16:28|920</wrap>it is also to be associated with the spleen center. Both the Sun and the Earth, which <wrap hide>134|00:16:28|920|00:16:35|740</wrap>are in a way opposites, depending on your point of vantage. If you are standing on the <wrap hide>135|00:16:35|740|00:16:40|040</wrap>Earth, the Sun is the opposite. If you are standing on the Sun, the Earth is in the opposite <wrap hide>136|00:16:40|040|00:16:50|520</wrap>sign. They both are associated with spleen. There are two types of prana. One is solar <wrap hide>137|00:16:50|520|00:16:58|900</wrap>prana and the other is the planetary prana. The pores are especially involved in the outer <wrap hide>138|00:16:59|500|00:17:07|800</wrap>planetary prana, but D.K. seems to be telling us that the spleen is also active in receiving <wrap hide>139|00:17:07|800|00:17:15|840</wrap>pranic emanations from the planet. Are they the emanations of the planet itself, or are <wrap hide>140|00:17:15|840|00:17:23|540</wrap>they mediated emanations? In other words, the Sun emanates the prana and the planet <wrap hide>141|00:17:23|540|00:17:29|660</wrap>passes it on. Anyway, the spleen is concerned with the etheric and physical bodies and their <wrap hide>142|00:17:29|660|00:17:35|300</wrap>physical relations. So, that's the Earth, and what does it say about the Moon? The Moon <wrap hide>143|00:17:35|300|00:17:44|120</wrap>is connected with a center in the chest related to the thymus gland. So, it must be veiling <wrap hide>144|00:17:44|120|00:17:51|280</wrap>a planet, I would say, in that connection. This center <wrap quote>becomes inactive in the advancement <wrap hide>145|00:17:51|910|00:17:59|060</wrap>of intellect, presumably, but has a connection with the vagus nerve prior to the awakening <wrap hide>146|00:17:59|060|00:18:05|760</wrap>of the heart</wrap> center. And one wonders whether the planet Neptune is not sometimes connected <wrap hide>147|00:18:05|760|00:18:15|580</wrap>here. There is also the idea of the reawakening of the thymus center in highly advanced individuals. <wrap hide>148|00:18:16|340|00:18:22|940</wrap>In other words, it may be active in the child, and perhaps in early man, I'm not sure. And <wrap hide>149|00:18:22|940|00:18:29|660</wrap>in advanced man, it becomes inactive, but there is the sense that as we become truly <wrap hide>150|00:18:29|660|00:18:36|800</wrap>intuitive, truly vital due to the vitalization from the soul, and in the later stages of <wrap hide>151|00:18:36|800|00:18:45|560</wrap>our evolution, that there is a center related to the thymus gland which is reawakened. So, <wrap hide>152|00:18:46|240|00:18:52|020</wrap>but it has a connection with the vagus nerve prior to the awakening of the heart center. <wrap hide>153|00:18:52|160|00:19:01|200</wrap>Well, the heart center seems to be very fully active in human beings with all types of polarization, <wrap hide>154|00:19:01|960|00:19:08|840</wrap>but the real awakening comes later. And I think we should say that real awakening of <wrap hide>155|00:19:08|840|00:19:21|200</wrap>the heart center comes later. And then this center is connected with the vagus nerve, <wrap hide>156|00:19:21|320|00:19:29|960</wrap>but prior to the real awakening, because even astrally polarized man, early mentally polarized <wrap hide>157|00:19:29|960|00:19:38|820</wrap>man, and so forth. Okay, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, <wrap hide>158|00:19:38|840|00:19:50|620</wrap>rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise. All right. Okay, unfortunately I'm <wrap hide>159|00:19:50|620|00:19:56|600</wrap>going to have to terminate this recording, as it seems that the, again, for the second <wrap hide>160|00:19:56|600|00:20:07|360</wrap>time today, there has been interference. But I will do my best to continue where we are. <wrap hide>161|00:20:08|700|00:20:14|680</wrap>And still there is twenty minutes on this little recording. Okay, so this will be the <wrap hide>162|00:20:14|680|00:20:19|740</wrap>sudden end of esoteric astrology adventure number thirty-four. Sorry.
