-	<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.
