-<wrap hide>1|00:00:04|300|00:00:05|660</wrap>Hello everybody. <wrap hide>2|00:00:07|240|00:00:10|720</wrap>We are in Esoteric Astrology Adventure number 51. <wrap hide>3|00:00:12|240|00:00:15|560</wrap>We are still working in the sign Aries. <wrap hide>4|00:00:16|860|00:00:24|280</wrap>In which chapter many of the procedures to be followed in other chapters studying other <wrap hide>5|00:00:24|280|00:00:29|080</wrap>signs are set forth, therefore this is a longer chapter than usual. <wrap hide>6|00:00:29|080|00:00:39|120</wrap>Well, we've been reviewing some of those procedures, and D.K. tells us that in every chapter there <wrap hide>7|00:00:39|120|00:00:40|300</wrap>will be found the following. <wrap hide>8|00:00:41|140|00:00:46|360</wrap><wrap quote>The keynote of the signs:</wrap> they <wrap quote>express the underlying effect upon the man as he progresses <wrap hide>9|00:00:46|360|00:00:48|500</wrap>in one of two directions.</wrap> <wrap hide>10|00:00:48|960|00:00:55|280</wrap>Basically, these can be considered in a way the mantrums. <wrap hide>11|00:00:55|600|00:00:57|580</wrap>Although sometimes he calls these mantrums keywords. <wrap hide>12|00:00:57|580|00:00:59|980</wrap>For instance, "Let form again be sought." <wrap hide>13|00:01:00|680|00:01:03|640</wrap>That's the mantrum for the path of evolution for Aries. <wrap hide>14|00:01:04|480|00:01:08|600</wrap>And then there is "I come forth and from the plane of mind I rule." <wrap hide>15|00:01:09|300|00:01:12|080</wrap>That is a keynote, a mantrum for the disciple. <wrap hide>16|00:01:13|020|00:01:17|240</wrap>We also will learn about <wrap quote>the nature of the cross upon which the man is crucified at any <wrap hide>17|00:01:17|240|00:01:17|860</wrap>one time.</wrap> <wrap hide>18|00:01:18|580|00:01:23|120</wrap>Aries is on the cardinal cross, but the man may be on any of the three crosses in terms <wrap hide>19|00:01:23|120|00:01:23|860</wrap>of his consciousness. <wrap hide>20|00:01:24|640|00:01:31|380</wrap>The influence of the planetary ruler is orthodox and esoteric, so for Aries it's Mars and Mercury. <wrap hide>21|00:01:32|060|00:01:39|460</wrap>Mars orthodox and Mercury esoteric, and we've learned about the battle and strife of Mars <wrap hide>22|00:01:39|460|00:01:43|740</wrap>and the illuminative potential of Mercury. <wrap hide>23|00:01:45|100|00:01:51|520</wrap>I'm going to skip number four and come back to it because it is the most vexing of statements, <wrap hide>24|00:01:51|520|00:01:54|840</wrap>and you know there's probably a huge hint involved here. <wrap hide>25|00:01:55|400|00:01:56|520</wrap>I'll come back to that. <wrap hide>26|00:01:57|540|00:02:02|380</wrap>Number five: <wrap quote>the qualities of the signs and of the man who has come forth in a particular <wrap hide>27|00:02:02|380|00:02:02|860</wrap>sign.</wrap> <wrap hide>28|00:02:03|520|00:02:07|800</wrap>"In a particular sign" means the sun sign, but "under a particular sign" means the rising sign. <wrap hide>29|00:02:08|340|00:02:12|300</wrap>Qualities can be similar in actual practice. <wrap hide>30|00:02:12|300|00:02:22|460</wrap>So we learned of the Aries individual that there was the tendency to seek unity through <wrap hide>31|00:02:22|460|00:02:29|620</wrap>effort, to enter into battle for the Lord, to engage in a strong creative process, and so <wrap hide>32|00:02:29|620|00:02:30|040</wrap>forth. <wrap hide>33|00:02:31|300|00:02:34|900</wrap>We will learn of <wrap quote>the interplay between a sign and its polar opposite.</wrap> <wrap hide>34|00:02:35|040|00:02:40|980</wrap>This is found on 337 and 338 of Esoteric Astrology in the chapter on Cancer. <wrap hide>35|00:02:41|690|00:02:48|960</wrap>We learn which planets are exalted <wrap quote>in detriment, or which fall in any particular sign,</wrap> and D.K. <wrap hide>36|00:02:48|960|00:02:54|880</wrap>tells us, <wrap quote>"For a study of these will indicate the three phases of the path with its involutionary <wrap hide>37|00:02:54|880|00:03:01|700</wrap>cycle," presumably related to the fall, becoming increasingly involved in matter or life upon <wrap hide>38|00:03:01|700|00:03:06|420</wrap>the mutable cross,</wrap> then <wrap quote>the interlude of readjustment or struggle for liberation.</wrap> <wrap hide>39|00:03:06|420|00:03:11|600</wrap>This is probably related to the detriment, <wrap quote>which leads to the mounting of the fixed cross <wrap hide>1|00:00:04|300|00:00:05|660</wrap>and the period of liberation with the final mounting of the cardinal cross,</wrap> and this suggests <wrap hide>41|00:03:18|420|00:03:24|620</wrap>meanings of the exaltation of a planet in a particular sign. <wrap hide>42|00:03:28|360|00:03:36|200</wrap>Of course, there are other and more personal meanings for the fall, detriment, and exaltation, <wrap hide>43|00:03:36|820|00:03:42|020</wrap>but D.K. is looking at this from a somewhat—I would say a philosophical point of view. <wrap hide>44|00:03:43|960|00:03:48|260</wrap>Alright, let's go on to number eight. <wrap hide>45|00:03:49|840|00:03:51|080</wrap>What else will we learn here? <wrap hide>46|00:03:51|080|00:03:59|760</wrap><wrap quote>The significance of the key words for the mode of progress through the signs.</wrap> <wrap hide>47|00:04:01|080|00:04:09|220</wrap>Now these key words were—you know, for Aries: creativity, strife. Let's find the remaining <wrap hide>48|00:04:09|880|00:04:21|060</wrap>the key words for Aries, Esoteric Astrology, and we'll go to creativity, strife, and we'll— <wrap hide>49|00:04:21|060|00:04:25|520</wrap>what about strife alone? That ought to do it, perhaps. <wrap hide>50|00:04:27|060|00:04:29|600</wrap>Let's see what we have. There are five strifes. <wrap hide>51|00:04:30|620|00:04:41|160</wrap>Okay, yes: creation, being, activity, strife, and synthesis. And the key notes—he calls them <wrap hide>52|00:04:41|160|00:04:47|300</wrap>key notes. I think he exchanges the idea of key notes and key words. He tells us: express <wrap hide>53|00:04:47|300|00:04:52|340</wrap>the will to be and do, unfold the power to manifest under the first and seventh ray, pretty <wrap hide>54|00:04:52|340|00:04:58|680</wrap>much enter into battle for the Lord under Mars and the first ray, arrive at unity through <wrap hide>55|00:04:58|680|00:05:05|000</wrap>effort. The effort is provided by the sixth ray, the unity through struggle by the fourth <wrap hide>56|00:05:05|000|00:05:12|460</wrap>ray, and so forth. And he sums this up as key notes: creation, being, activity. Aries are often <wrap hide>57|00:05:12|460|00:05:17|860</wrap>hyperactive people. Strife—they are not afraid of conflict, although is it intelligent? That's <wrap hide>58|00:05:17|860|00:05:25|980</wrap>the question. And finally, synthesis, because it is a major sign which sees the homogeneous <wrap hide>59|00:05:27|600|00:05:34|860</wrap>being within all forms, and that's a high form of perception which is given later to the <wrap hide>60|00:05:34|860|00:05:38|320</wrap>Arian person under the influence of Uranus. <wrap hide>61|00:05:39|380|00:05:44|460</wrap>Okay, let's see what else we have here. And then <wrap quote>the underlying theme of any specific <wrap hide>62|00:05:44|460|00:05:52|100</wrap>zodiacal sign</wrap> covered by... whoops, my screen is disappearing. Seems to be time perhaps to <wrap hide>63|00:05:52|100|00:06:00|100</wrap>start the computer all over again. The underlying theme of any zodiacal sign covered by what? <wrap hide>64|00:06:00|100|00:06:12|820</wrap>Covered by something... let's see. A little bit disturbing. I'll have to see what I can do <wrap hide>65|00:06:12|820|00:06:24|700</wrap>when finally this stops acting up. Sorry for this, just a little technical delay. <wrap hide>66|00:06:31|040|00:06:41|180</wrap>Yeah, yes, a little delay. Covered by... yes, we ought to be there just about there now. Covered by what? <wrap hide>67|00:06:41|180|00:06:49|480</wrap>The idea of recreation, <wrap quote>regeneration, reorientation, and renunciation.</wrap> Okay, now let's go back to number <wrap hide>68|00:06:49|480|00:06:55|620</wrap>four, on which I probably pondered for 30 years, and I've had other people ponder on <wrap hide>69|00:06:55|620|00:07:00|720</wrap>it as well. Says <wrap quote>the rays which primarily express themselves through a particular sign...</wrap> okay, we've <wrap hide>70|00:07:00|720|00:07:08|360</wrap>identified the sign. In this case, let's say it's Aries and ray 1, 0, 7. And then the clue to which sign <wrap hide>71|00:07:08|360|00:07:18|280</wrap>it is... well, the question is, why is there needed a clue? Because the sign is already given. The clue <wrap hide>72|00:07:18|280|00:07:23|200</wrap>to which sign it is may be found in the orthodox planetary ruler with a personality ray is concerned <wrap hide>73|00:07:23|200|00:07:28|760</wrap>and the esoteric planetary ruler with the soul is concerned. Now, some people have used this to say <wrap hide>74|00:07:28|760|00:07:38|900</wrap>well, if you're born in Aries, chances are your personality ray will be either the sixth or the <wrap hide>75|00:07:38|900|00:07:46|600</wrap>fourth - six through Mars and the fourth maybe four disciples, the esoteric ruler of Mercury conveying <wrap hide>76|00:07:46|600|00:07:54|240</wrap>the fourth ray. But I think this is the superficial reading of this particular hint or conundrum, and <wrap hide>77|00:07:54|240|00:08:02|500</wrap>moreover, many of the people in Master D.K.'s groups contradict this very thing. I mean, you <wrap hide>78|00:08:02|500|00:08:09|140</wrap>know, you have, for instance, a person who is a Capricorn sun and he has a sixth ray personality. <wrap hide>79|00:08:09|140|00:08:16|580</wrap>Well, the ruler of Capricorn, both in the personality sense and in the esoteric sense, is ray three. Where <wrap hide>80|00:08:16|580|00:08:24|460</wrap>is ray six? Ray six is not found even with Venus. There's a slight ray six in Venus on a very high <wrap hide>81|00:08:24|460|00:08:29|160</wrap>level, but that's the hierarchical ruler, and we can't talk about personality rays in relation to <wrap hide>82|00:08:29|160|00:08:36|080</wrap>the hierarchical ruler. And let's say people born in Gemini - well, they should have either fourth-ray <wrap hide>83|00:08:36|080|00:08:40|900</wrap>personalities under the orthodox ruler Mercury, or fifth-ray personalities under the esoteric ruler <wrap hide>84|00:08:40|900|00:08:48|360</wrap>Venus. But no, they can have first and second and sixth and even seventh-ray personalities, and such <wrap hide>85|00:08:48|360|00:08:55|100</wrap>were people in Master D.K.'s group. Alice Bailey herself had a first-ray personality, and she was <wrap hide>86|00:08:55|100|00:09:00|940</wrap>solidly Gemini. Where did that first ray come from? From the hierarchical ruler, with Earth being having a <wrap hide>87|00:09:00|940|00:09:08|140</wrap>first-ray monad. It's stretching it a little bit far, but maybe there are other ways to interpret <wrap hide>88|00:09:08|140|00:09:18|520</wrap>this. We may be looking for related signs. Now, let's suppose that the person that we're looking for <wrap hide>89|00:09:18|520|00:09:28|740</wrap>signs that are related to the sign Aries. Let's say we have Aries, and let's just say that through <wrap hide>90|00:09:28|740|00:09:41|760</wrap>Aries comes the sixth ray. The orthodox planetary ruler where the personality ray is concerned... well, <wrap hide>91|00:09:41|760|00:09:58|720</wrap>you can be an Aries and have a personality ray on any of the rays. So maybe we should look for a <wrap hide>92|00:09:58|720|00:10:04|780</wrap>which conveys the first ray. Now, where would we find that? I think we would have to go to Scorpio, <wrap hide>93|00:10:04|780|00:10:13|880</wrap>where Pluto has a first ray and it is considered one of the rulers of Scorpio. Let's just say the <wrap hide>94|00:10:13|880|00:10:26|100</wrap>personality ray is the second ray. That's the second ray. The usual ruler is Jupiter, but what <wrap hide>95|00:10:26|560|00:10:36|880</wrap>sign has an exoteric ruler which conveys the second ray? Well, Leo does, because the Sun is the <wrap hide>96|00:10:36|880|00:10:46|260</wrap>ruler - second ray. Sagittarius does, because Jupiter is the ruler - second ray. Pisces does, because the <wrap hide>97|00:10:46|260|00:10:55|880</wrap>ruler is Jupiter again - second ray. And that's it, as far as I can see. So perhaps we would be bringing <wrap hide>98|00:10:55|880|00:11:06|960</wrap>in influence from these other three signs for the second ray personality who is born in Aries, and <wrap hide>99|00:11:06|960|00:11:16|780</wrap>we would probably find some way to blend the sixth ray Mars, which is the exoteric ruler, orthodox <wrap hide>100|00:11:16|780|00:11:22|980</wrap>ruler of Aries. Now, suppose there's the third ray. What would we do? A third ray personality of <wrap hide>101|00:11:22|980|00:11:29|940</wrap>somebody born in Aries... well, the only third ray planet we can find is Capricorn is Saturn Capricorn, <wrap hide>102|00:11:29|940|00:11:36|940</wrap>because Earth is not an esoteric ruler... and there is no other... well, it is an esoteric ruler, it's <wrap hide>103|00:11:36|940|00:11:42|640</wrap>not an orthodox ruler, and there is no other third ray planet of the conventional types of planets. So <wrap hide>104|00:11:42|640|00:11:50|760</wrap>we'd bring Capricorn into relation here. The clue to which sign it may be... see, we've already named <wrap hide>105|00:11:50|760|00:11:56|480</wrap>the sign and are looking for a clue to another sign. So, you know, unless this is really a typo and <wrap hide>106|00:11:56|480|00:12:03|440</wrap>you know, if it's a typo, D.K. said he did proofread this book, and so if it's a typo, it's a typo which <wrap hide>107|00:12:03|440|00:12:10|160</wrap>has caused perplexity or will have caused perplexity for 80, 90, 100 years — maybe probably 90 years before <wrap hide>108|00:12:10|160|00:12:16|900</wrap>the new third volume of Esoteric Astrology comes out. Let's suppose you're a fourth-ray personality <wrap hide>109|00:12:16|900|00:12:23|060</wrap>and you're born in Aries. Well, we can bring in and associate the sign Cancer because the Moon is the <wrap hide>110|00:12:23|060|00:12:30|560</wrap>orthodox ruler of Cancer. We can bring in Gemini, and we can bring in Virgo because Mercury conveys <wrap hide>111|00:12:30|560|00:12:36|800</wrap>the fourth ray. If you're a fifth-ray personality and you're born in Aries, we're going to bring in — <wrap hide>112|00:12:37|720|00:12:45|400</wrap>we're going to bring in Libra and Taurus because they both have Venus rulerships of an orthodox <wrap hide>113|00:12:45|400|00:12:54|640</wrap>kind. If you're a sixth-ray personality, we're going to bring in Scorpio and Aries. Of course, <wrap hide>114|00:12:54|640|00:13:00|460</wrap>Aries is ruled by Mars, which is the sixth ray. Scorpio naturally has a connection. See, this is a way <wrap hide>115|00:13:00|460|00:13:14|000</wrap>of showing relationships of different — of different signs to a particular sign via the personality <wrap hide>116|00:13:14|000|00:13:25|660</wrap>ray. Okay, now, so suppose — and Neptune does not have any orthodox rulership unless we want to say that <wrap hide>117|00:13:25|660|00:13:36|120</wrap>Pisces is somehow orthodoxly ruled by Neptune. But D.K. says no, Alan Leo says yes. We could bring in <wrap hide>118|00:13:36|120|00:13:41|620</wrap>Pisces, I suppose, but we would certainly bring in Scorpio. Now suppose we have the seventh ray. We're <wrap hide>119|00:13:41|620|00:13:45|270</wrap>going to be looking for the seventh-ray planet — that's Uranus — and we'd bring in Aquarius, and <wrap hide>120|00:13:45|860|00:13:51|420</wrap>that's all we could do at the present time, even though Jupiter does have a strong seventh ray <wrap hide>121|00:13:51|420|00:13:58|520</wrap>connected with it. But it's not — not one of the rays that has been described, except it has been hinted <wrap hide>122|00:13:58|520|00:14:05|320</wrap>at. Okay, so if you have a personality ray on any one of those rays and you're born in the sign Aries, <wrap hide>123|00:14:06|100|00:14:16|240</wrap>you can bring the particular signs that I discussed into relation with your sun sign Aries, let us say, <wrap hide>124|00:14:16|240|00:14:25|400</wrap>and with your planetary ruler. The planetary ruler varies, being Mars in the orthodox sense. Now I'm <wrap hide>125|00:14:25|400|00:14:32|860</wrap>not saying that this completely solves this difficult sentence — it really does not — but let's <wrap hide>126|00:14:32|860|00:14:39|420</wrap>go through the soul rays and show the contrast. If you are a first-ray soul, we're going to look for a <wrap hide>127|00:14:39|420|00:14:46|960</wrap>first-ray planet in an esoteric position, and we're going to find — we're going to find Taurus, where <wrap hide>128|00:14:46|960|00:14:53|480</wrap>Vulcan rules esoterically, and we're going to find even Virgo, where Vulcan is veiled esoterically by <wrap hide>129|00:14:53|480|00:15:00|240</wrap>the Moon, and we're going to find Pluto. We're going to find Scorpio, where Pluto is also associated in <wrap hide>130|00:15:00|240|00:15:07|240</wrap>an esoteric sense. We may infer we're going to also find Pisces, where Pluto is the definite esoteric <wrap hide>131|00:15:07|240|00:15:18|820</wrap>ruler. So first-ray personality — okay, we may be experiencing degraded audio, hopefully not. Okay, <wrap hide>132|00:15:20|780|00:15:30|680</wrap>we're going to bring in those other signs when you have a first-ray soul. Did I say personality? <wrap hide>133|00:15:30|680|00:15:37|180</wrap>I'm sorry, not personality. So if you're a first-ray soul, we're going to bring in those other signs in <wrap hide>134|00:15:37|180|00:15:45|400</wrap>relation to Aries, and — and so we could go through all the different signs. Okay, if you're a second-ray <wrap hide>135|00:15:45|400|00:15:50|540</wrap>soul, we're going to look for the place where a second-ray planet is the esoteric ruler, and <wrap hide>136|00:15:50|540|00:15:56|860</wrap>we're going to find Leo — Leo veiling Neptune, the Sun getting Neptune in the esoteric position. We're <wrap hide>137|00:15:56|860|00:16:02|200</wrap>also going to find Aquarius, where Jupiter, the second-ray planet, is in the esoteric position. So <wrap hide>138|00:16:02|200|00:16:09|560</wrap>we're going to bring Aquarius and Leo into relationship with Aries for the second-ray soul <wrap hide>139|00:16:09|560|00:16:15|960</wrap>who's born in Aries. Now exactly what this would mean would have to be worked out in the individual <wrap hide>140|00:16:15|960|00:16:24|480</wrap>sense. Suppose you're a third-ray soul. We're going to look for third-ray planets. The esoteric <wrap hide>141|00:16:24|480|00:16:31|120</wrap>planetary ruler for Aries is Mercury, so Mercury will naturally be related to whatever signs and <wrap hide>142|00:16:31|120|00:16:38|900</wrap>planets we bring into consideration. Excuse me. So for the third ray, we're going to bring in <wrap hide>143|00:16:38|900|00:16:42|520</wrap>Capricorn naturally because Saturn is the esoteric ruler. We're going to bring in Sagittarius because <wrap hide>144|00:16:42|520|00:16:48|480</wrap>the Earth — third-ray Earth — is the esoteric ruler of Sagittarius, and that's all we can do at the <wrap hide>145|00:16:48|480|00:16:54|660</wrap>moment. If it's the fourth ray — you're a fourth-ray soul — there's not many of them around at the moment, <wrap hide>146|00:16:54|660|00:17:03|220</wrap>but we would bring in Aries, which of course is — it's in its own position, and we would bring in — <wrap hide>147|00:17:03|220|00:17:10|240</wrap>hmm, that does seem to be maybe the only sign. Oh well, we could bring in the Moon. We could bring in <wrap hide>148|00:17:10|240|00:17:19|920</wrap>the Moon as the esoteric ruler of Virgo, and I cannot think of anything else because Mercury is <wrap hide>149|00:17:19|920|00:17:25|700</wrap>the esoteric ruler of Aries and the Moon — fourth-ray Moon — is the esoteric ruler of Virgo, although the <wrap hide>150|00:17:25|700|00:17:33|540</wrap>Moon. It's hard to stretch it into an esoteric planet, yet it is. But really what it veils both <wrap hide>151|00:17:33|540|00:17:44|500</wrap>Vulcan, fourth-ray Vulcan, in a way fourth-ray monad, and Neptune are really the power there in <wrap hide>152|00:17:44|500|00:17:49|180</wrap>the esoteric position of Virgo. Suppose you're a fifth-ray soul. Well, we're going to look for a <wrap hide>153|00:17:49|180|00:17:52|860</wrap>place where a fifth-ray planet, of which we only know Venus at the moment, is in the esoteric <wrap hide>154|00:17:52|860|00:17:57|700</wrap>position. So we're going to look for Gemini, and we will bring in Gemini in relation to Aries. So <wrap hide>155|00:17:57|700|00:18:06|720</wrap>Venus and Mercury will be related: Mercury as the esoteric ruler of Aries and Venus as the soul <wrap hide>156|00:18:06|720|00:18:13|760</wrap>ray ruler which is ruling the sign Gemini esoterically. Suppose you're a sixth-ray soul. <wrap hide>157|00:18:13|760|00:18:19|400</wrap>There are many of them at the moment. We're going to look for Mars and Neptune. We're going to find <wrap hide>158|00:18:19|400|00:18:24|800</wrap>Mars in the esoteric position in Scorpio, and that's the only place we find it in an esoteric <wrap hide>159|00:18:24|800|00:18:30|340</wrap>position. And we're going to look at Neptune in the esoteric position in Cancer. So Scorpio and Cancer <wrap hide>160|00:18:30|340|00:18:36|860</wrap>would be brought in, and maybe Pisces, because it is a special type of ruler. Neptune is a special <wrap hide>161|00:18:36|860|00:18:43|600</wrap>type of ruler in Pisces. When we're going to look for the seventh-ray souls, it's going to be Uranus. <wrap hide>162|00:18:44|200|00:18:48|920</wrap>It's the only seventh-ray planet we're given, at least, although there are probably quite a few <wrap hide>163|00:18:48|920|00:18:55|940</wrap>other seventh-ray planets in the 115 or so planets we have in our solar system. We're going to look <wrap hide>164|00:18:55|940|00:19:02|500</wrap>for Libra because Uranus is the esoteric ruler of Libra, and we're going to bring Libra into relation <wrap hide>165|00:19:02|500|00:19:10|220</wrap>with Scorpio and Uranus into relation with Mercury, the esoteric ruler of Aries. The rays <wrap hide>166|00:19:10|220|00:19:15|380</wrap>which primarily express themselves through a particular sign—okay, there are two ways of <wrap hide>167|00:19:15|380|00:19:25|600</wrap>expressing. One is constellational: you know, Ray 1 and 7 for Aries, Ray 4 for Taurus, Ray 2 for Gemini, <wrap hide>168|00:19:26|260|00:19:34|000</wrap>Ray 3 and 7 for Cancer, Ray 1 and 5 for Leo, Rays 2 and 6 for Virgo, Ray 3 for Libra, Ray 4 for <wrap hide>169|00:19:34|000|00:19:45|000</wrap>Scorpio, Rays 4, 5, 6 for Sagittarius, and Rays 1, 3 and 7 for <wrap hide>170|00:19:45|000|00:19:54|440</wrap>Capricorn and Aquarius, Ray 5 for Pisces, Rays 2 and 6. Okay, those are the constellational expressions <wrap hide>171|00:19:54|440|00:20:02|800</wrap>of the rays before we ever get to any planets. But then you look at the rulers, and for Aries, <wrap hide>172|00:20:02|800|00:20:10|700</wrap>Rays 6 and 4 are expressing through Mars and Mercury. When you look at Taurus, Ray 5 and 1 <wrap hide>173|00:20:10|700|00:20:16|700</wrap>are expressing through Venus and Vulcan. You know, I'm giving you these rays and planets in their <wrap hide>174|00:20:16|700|00:20:22|760</wrap>orthodox and then esoteric order. When it comes to Gemini, Ray 4 and 5 are expressing through Mercury <wrap hide>175|00:20:22|760|00:20:27|880</wrap>and Venus. When it comes to Cancer, Ray 4 and 6 are expressing through the Moon and Neptune. When it <wrap hide>176|00:20:27|880|00:20:35|840</wrap>comes to Leo, Ray 2 is expressing in both positions, but maybe the Sun is veiling Jupiter in the <wrap hide>177|00:20:35|840|00:20:41|280</wrap>orthodox position, Ray 2, and the Sun is veiling Neptune in the esoteric position, Ray 6. When it <wrap hide>178|00:20:41|280|00:20:51|560</wrap>comes to Virgo, we have Ray 4 and Ray 4 expressing respectively through Mercury and the Moon, <wrap hide>179|00:20:51|560|00:20:57|480</wrap>but the Moon veils both Vulcan and Neptune, so Ray 1 and 6 are veiled by the fourth ray Moon. <wrap hide>180|00:20:57|880|00:21:03|360</wrap>See, these are all rays that in a way can be said to be expressing through a particular sign, <wrap hide>181|00:21:03|360|00:21:11|360</wrap>either directly or via its planetary rulers. When it comes to Libra, we have Ray 5 and Ray 7 <wrap hide>182|00:21:11|360|00:21:18|520</wrap>expressing respectively through Venus and Uranus. When it comes to Scorpio, we have Ray 6 and Ray 6 <wrap hide>183|00:21:18|520|00:21:24|160</wrap>through Mars and Mars, or Ray 1 and Ray 1 through Pluto and Pluto. When it comes to Sagittarius, we <wrap hide>184|00:21:24|160|00:21:29|520</wrap>have Ray 2 and Ray 3 expressing through Jupiter and the Earth respectively. When it comes to <wrap hide>185|00:21:29|520|00:21:35|140</wrap>Capricorn, we have Ray 3 and Ray 3 expressing through Saturn, which is both the orthodox and <wrap hide>186|00:21:35|140|00:21:41|220</wrap>esoteric ruler. When it comes to Aquarius, we have Ray 7 and Ray 2 expressing respectively through <wrap hide>187|00:21:41|760|00:21:46|900</wrap>Uranus and Jupiter. When it comes to Pisces, we have Ray 2 and Ray 1 expressing through <wrap hide>188|00:21:46|900|00:21:53|320</wrap>Jupiter and Pluto, but remember that pervasive influence of Neptune. All these things <wrap hide>189|00:21:54|560|00:21:59|500</wrap>should be memorized, obviously. You know, I've been studying this stuff for a long time— <wrap hide>190|00:22:00|100|00:22:11|200</wrap>maybe astrology for 45, 46 years, yeah, something like that. So obviously, you know, the memorization, <wrap hide>191|00:22:11|200|00:22:16|780</wrap>when you use it that way, the memorization comes along. But, you know, although it may seem a little <wrap hide>192|00:22:16|780|00:22:23|300</wrap>tedious at first, memorize these things. Memorize the orthodox positions, and of course the new <wrap hide>193|00:22:23|300|00:22:28|500</wrap>positions should be memorized as well, and then you'll be able to use them with greater facility. <wrap hide>194|00:22:28|500|00:22:33|400</wrap>So we're dealing with the rays which primarily express themselves through a particular sign. <wrap quote>The <wrap hide>195|00:22:33|400|00:22:45|460</wrap>clue to which sign it may be is found in the orthodox planetary ruler, where the personality <wrap hide>196|00:22:45|460|00:22:53|840</wrap>ray is concerned and the esoteric planetary ruler where the soul is concerned.</wrap> Now, another <wrap hide>197|00:22:53|840|00:23:03|800</wrap>way of looking at this is we may be looking at the soul ray ruler, which... um, yeah, planetary ruler. <wrap hide>198|00:23:03|800|00:23:15|440</wrap>Yeah, so, you know, um, I think I've... I think I've given this basically. You know, let's say I'm a <wrap hide>199|00:23:15|440|00:23:22|940</wrap>uh, fourth ray personality, so I will look for that fourth ray which sign may be involved. Well, <wrap hide>200|00:23:23|540|00:23:32|900</wrap>that fourth ray will take me and my personality to Cancer, probably. It certainly could easily <wrap hide>201|00:23:32|900|00:23:43|960</wrap>take me to Virgo or to Gemini: Gemini, Virgo, Cancer. Gemini, Virgo ruled by fourth ray Mercury, and the <wrap hide>202|00:23:43|960|00:23:50|720</wrap>fourth ray, uh, Cancer ruled by the fourth ray Moon. Now, is it a particular sign which is most <wrap hide>203|00:23:50|720|00:23:58|820</wrap>important in relating to that particular fourth ray personality for me? Is it a particular sign <wrap hide>204|00:23:58|820|00:24:07|540</wrap>of those three which have fourth ray orthodox rulers? Well, I would have to ponder on this <wrap hide>205|00:24:07|540|00:24:15|480</wrap>and see, or are all three involved? Um, now, since I have Cancer rising anyway, Cancer is an important <wrap hide>206|00:24:15|480|00:24:21|080</wrap>sign, and since I believe I'm a secondary soul, then Gemini and Virgo, two secondary signs, are <wrap hide>207|00:24:21|080|00:24:28|800</wrap>important anyway. Now, let's say I'm a secondary soul and I'm born in Aries. Okay, um, I'm going to, <wrap hide>208|00:24:28|800|00:24:35|960</wrap>let's say, look at Leo for an esoteric ruler. I'm going to look at Aquarius. Leo and Aquarius are <wrap hide>209|00:24:35|960|00:24:41|960</wrap>going to be two important signs for me, and just what happens: in my conception chart and <wrap hide>210|00:24:41|960|00:24:50|100</wrap>animation chart, these are inner charts, one or the other is the rising sign for me. And then, in some <wrap hide>211|00:24:50|100|00:24:54|920</wrap>way, I'm going to attempt to relate to Mercury, which is the esoteric ruler to that particular <wrap hide>212|00:24:54|920|00:25:01|200</wrap>soul position. There are so many ways we can combine these energies, you know. When you're <wrap hide>213|00:25:01|840|00:25:08|500</wrap>your soul condition, you look at your soul ray, you look at your rising sign, you look at the <wrap hide>214|00:25:08|500|00:25:14|720</wrap>esoteric ruler of your rising sign. In my case, let's just say it's a soul ray two, Cancer rising, <wrap hide>215|00:25:14|720|00:25:21|120</wrap>esoteric ruler is Neptune. Those energies should be put together, but it is possible that some other <wrap hide>216|00:25:21|120|00:25:29|100</wrap>signs are expressing through the, um, the secondary soul in some way, expressing through the secondary <wrap hide>217|00:25:29|100|00:25:36|660</wrap>soul. And we could look at the Sun veiling Neptune in Leo, because the Sun is second ray, the Neptune <wrap hide>218|00:25:36|660|00:25:44|440</wrap>is sixth ray, but it is the, uh, the veiled esoteric ruler. And we can look at Jupiter conveying the <wrap hide>219|00:25:44|440|00:25:52|160</wrap>second ray esoterically Aquarius. So maybe, as sub-themes, these particular astrological <wrap hide>220|00:25:52|160|00:25:59|740</wrap>uh, signs of the zodiac are accompanying or qualifying or in some way influencing the <wrap hide>221|00:25:59|740|00:26:06|640</wrap>expression of the secondary soul in this particular, uh, incarnation. But all of this <wrap hide>222|00:26:06|640|00:26:13|400</wrap>will require that we ponder on it, you know. There's no way that we can penetrate with absoluteness <wrap hide>223|00:26:13|400|00:26:22|120</wrap>such a sentence as this. Various theories can be offered. Earlier, in a number of webinars ago, <wrap hide>224|00:26:22|120|00:26:28|360</wrap>I talked about taking your soul ray ruler, which is the sacred planet which conveys your soul ray, <wrap hide>225|00:26:28|360|00:26:35|580</wrap>and looking at the sign from which that soul ray ruler rules. In my case, it would be Aquarius. <wrap hide>226|00:26:35|580|00:26:40|680</wrap>Well, Aquarius is strong in my chart anyway, but perhaps there's a particular Aquarian theme coming <wrap hide>227|00:26:40|680|00:26:48|060</wrap>in via the second ray soul, because the soul ray ruler is related to a particular sign, in this case <wrap hide>228|00:26:48|060|00:26:58|820</wrap>Aquarius. We have such a great many energies to deal with, and, you know, we can fill the mind with <wrap hide>229|00:26:58|820|00:27:04|940</wrap>all possible correlations and links and so forth, but the question is: is it detectable, detectable <wrap hide>230|00:27:04|940|00:27:11|620</wrap>in life, and is it working out in some way that is noticeable in life? This is a very important issue, <wrap hide>231|00:27:12|140|00:27:22|000</wrap>and we can only ponder, we can only ponder on it. One thing we do know is that it is far <wrap hide>232|00:27:22|000|00:27:29|620</wrap>too simple to say that if you are born in a particular sign, the exoteric planetary ruler of <wrap hide>233|00:27:29|620|00:27:36|460</wrap>that sign and its ray tell you about your personality ray. It may be the case; it may not be the case. <wrap hide>234|00:27:37|060|00:27:42|560</wrap>And if you are, let's say, a disciple and you were born in a particular <wrap hide>235|00:27:42|560|00:27:48|800</wrap>sign, that the esoteric planetary ruler and its ray will tell you about your personality ray. Again, <wrap hide>236|00:27:48|800|00:27:54|540</wrap>I say personality ray; I don't say soul ray, because when I look at the horoscope, there are only <wrap hide>237|00:27:55|420|00:28:01|540</wrap>tentative speculations about how to determine the soul ray from a horoscope. I think most of what <wrap hide>238|00:28:01|540|00:28:07|940</wrap>I've seen is not convincing, you know. It's like an astrologer I knew who said, "Okay, if you're a <wrap hide>239|00:28:08|960|00:28:16|320</wrap>if you are a Scorpio rising person, you definitely, and you're a disciple, you definitely have a fourth <wrap hide>240|00:28:16|320|00:28:23|000</wrap>ray soul." No, that's, you know, that's absurd. It cannot be the case. There are so few fourth <wrap hide>241|00:28:23|000|00:28:28|560</wrap>ray souls in incarnation and so many Scorpio rising people at the moment, it just wouldn't be <wrap hide>242|00:28:28|560|00:28:34|060</wrap>possible. It's the same as saying if you've got Aries rising, you've got a first ray, you've got <wrap hide>243|00:28:34|060|00:28:39|240</wrap>a first ray soul, or maybe a seventh ray soul. What about all those other soul rays who are born with <wrap hide>244|00:28:39|240|00:28:46|720</wrap>Aries rising? It just doesn't make sense. So, you know, ponder on this. It is the master who often <wrap hide>245|00:28:46|720|00:28:52|920</wrap>seeks to produce perplexity in his student, and we are all students of Master D.K. And then, you know, <wrap hide>246|00:28:52|920|00:28:57|620</wrap>the obvious will dawn. And we've been looking at the sentence for many, many years, and then suddenly <wrap hide>247|00:28:57|620|00:29:10|180</wrap>the obvious will dawn. Well, all of you can have your crack at trying to decipher this. Let's just <wrap hide>248|00:29:10|180|00:29:18|780</wrap>say, you know, that one of the probably convincing possibilities is to look with respect to your <wrap hide>249|00:29:18|780|00:29:29|040</wrap>soul ray to the sign which the soul ray ruler rules esoterically. As I said before, <wrap hide>250|00:29:29|040|00:29:33|880</wrap>Jupiter is related to the second ray soul. It's the esoteric planet of the second ray, <wrap hide>251|00:29:33|880|00:29:41|400</wrap>and look to Aquarius where it is the ruler, and just see how that may be coming in <wrap hide>252|00:29:41|400|00:29:51|860</wrap>through your soul. Because after all, through a planet, many signs' lords of constellations do <wrap hide>253|00:29:51|860|00:29:57|860</wrap>channel their energy through Jupiter. Certainly the lord of Sagittarius and lord of Pisces is <wrap hide>254|00:29:57|860|00:30:06|100</wrap>channeling the energy, and maybe you will be most sensitive to that type of energy when Jupiter <wrap hide>255|00:30:06|580|00:30:12|700</wrap>is prominent in your chart or being accented in some particular way, or, you know, when it moves into <wrap hide>256|00:30:13|580|00:30:19|020</wrap>a particular angle or aspect of something of that nature. And you'll feel, "Oh, the Sagittarian <wrap hide>257|00:30:19|020|00:30:25|500</wrap>energy is coming through my Jupiter. This Pisces energy is coming through." But maybe as a disciple, <wrap hide>258|00:30:27|540|00:30:32|960</wrap>you know, who is responding more to the soul, you will feel Aquarian energy coming through <wrap hide>259|00:30:32|960|00:30:39|020</wrap>Jupiter. And maybe as an initiate, you will feel more Virgo energy since Jupiter is the <wrap hide>260|00:30:39|020|00:30:44|280</wrap>hierarchical ruler of Virgo. Maybe you'll feel more Virgo energy coming in, and it will be more <wrap hide>261|00:30:44|280|00:30:49|380</wrap>monadic and have more to do with the fulfillment of the Christ energy or something of that nature. <wrap hide>262|00:30:49|980|00:30:59|540</wrap>So intricate is this study. It is intricate and subtle, and as D.K. promised us, you know, "I'm telling <wrap hide>263|00:30:59|540|00:31:07|940</wrap>you about the ABCs," he said. Okay? And certainly when we begin to dig into some of the issues here, <wrap hide>264|00:31:07|940|00:31:13|660</wrap>we realize, yes, the ABCs are what are being revealed to us at the moment. And we—but it's <wrap hide>265|00:31:13|660|00:31:20|620</wrap>the seed of the new astrology, and we are required to think about it. We're asked to think about it <wrap hide>266|00:31:20|620|00:31:29|120</wrap>and to ponder and to ponder with the illumined mind on these things. Now, okay, um, D.K. is perhaps <wrap hide>267|00:31:30|540|00:31:37|080</wrap>getting ready to move on towards Pisces. We will see. Here he says, <wrap quote>"Before taking up these matters <wrap hide>268|00:31:37|080|00:31:43|900</wrap>in connection with Pisces, there are one or two points on which I would like to touch. I have to <wrap hide>269|00:31:43|900|00:31:49|880</wrap>take up certain problems as they may arise in the consciousness of the inquirers and the students <wrap hide>270|00:31:49|880|00:31:57|420</wrap>because it is impossible to handle them all at once in the introductory remarks."</wrap> He's a wise <wrap hide>271|00:31:57|420|00:32:02|420</wrap>teacher, Master D.K.—wiser than I am, that's for sure—because he says, <wrap quote>"The confusion would <wrap hide>272|00:32:03|310|00:32:10|460</wrap>then be well-nigh insuperable in the mind of the</wrap> inquirer." <wrap quote>And</wrap> hopefully, in this—in these sort of <wrap hide>273|00:32:10|460|00:32:16|680</wrap>webinar presentations, I have not created insuperable confusion in the mind of the <wrap hide>274|00:32:16|680|00:32:25|500</wrap>listeners. I hope not. What I'm trying to do is kind of download the many relations I've thought <wrap hide>275|00:32:25|500|00:32:30|060</wrap>about in relation to astrology over many years. And of course, I don't really know what I'm going <wrap hide>276|00:32:30|060|00:32:37|720</wrap>to say next, um, I don't know what will come to mind—perhaps many old thoughts, perhaps some new <wrap hide>277|00:32:37|720|00:32:42|640</wrap>connections, perhaps even an intuition here or there. Could happen. Hopefully the confusion is <wrap hide>278|00:32:44|520|00:32:52|420</wrap>not insuperable. <wrap quote>"Little by little we will deal with the various debatable points,</wrap> and <wrap quote>if you will have <wrap hide>279|00:32:52|420|00:32:58|780</wrap>patience and hold back partisan conclusions"</wrap>—because after all, there are many convinced <wrap hide>280|00:32:58|780|00:33:06|040</wrap>orthodox astrologers who just know astrology is thus and so, and it would disrupt their world view <wrap hide>281|00:33:06|040|00:33:15|200</wrap>to consider it any other way. So he's asking a patience and testing of his proposals in a <wrap hide>282|00:33:15|200|00:33:20|960</wrap>fifth-ray scientific manner. "If you will have patience and hold back the partisan conclusions, <wrap hide>283|00:33:20|960|00:33:26|200</wrap>the picture of the new astrology will begin to emerge more clearly in your mind." I must say it's <wrap hide>284|00:33:26|200|00:33:32|180</wrap>been true for me. When I first began to read esoteric astrology, it was a wide gulf between <wrap hide>285|00:33:32|180|00:33:39|360</wrap>the reading of that book and the astrology that I thought I knew, um, although fortunately not too <wrap hide>286|00:33:39|360|00:33:46|060</wrap>many years had elapsed between my studying astrology seriously—I suppose since 1965— <wrap hide>287|00:33:46|640|00:33:57|520</wrap>and running into esoteric astrology as a book in the late 60s and beginning to study it seriously. <wrap hide>288|00:33:57|520|00:34:02|240</wrap>in the early 70s and so forth, so not too many years had elapsed and still there was a lot of <wrap hide>289|00:34:02|240|00:34:10|120</wrap>debris in my mind, a lot of formulations which were fairly concrete in which I believed <wrap hide>290|00:34:10|120|00:34:16|960</wrap>fairly strongly and which had to be destroyed or dissolved or somehow reinterpreted. So <wrap quote>the picture <wrap hide>291|00:34:16|960|00:34:22|120</wrap>of the new astrology will begin to emerge more clearly in your minds. At present, the readjustment <wrap hide>292|00:34:23|300|00:34:29|980</wrap>of your ideas will lead to inevitable temporary bewilderment</wrap>—lost in the forest. <wrap hide>293|00:34:30|540|00:34:41|780</wrap>Um, but you know, many of you who have the temerity to download these webinars have studied esoteric <wrap hide>294|00:34:41|780|00:34:48|000</wrap>astrology from the Tibetan for a fairly long time, and so perhaps your bewilderment will be less, and <wrap hide>295|00:34:48|000|00:34:57|600</wrap>perhaps as we go through this treatise in what I hope is a very careful word-for-word, paragraph by <wrap hide>296|00:34:57|600|00:35:03|820</wrap>paragraph manner, finding our associations, new thoughts about it will dawn, new insights will <wrap hide>297|00:35:03|820|00:35:13|380</wrap>dawn, and we will be doing our part to prepare for the new dispensation of esoteric astrology <wrap hide>298|00:35:13|380|00:35:24|140</wrap>in 2025 and following. Uh, if I can just speak to that for just a moment, the year is 2025, <wrap hide>299|00:35:24|140|00:35:35|900</wrap>and um, how many... yes, here it is. I can, however... page 589... um, <wrap hide>300|00:35:39|340|00:35:43|660</wrap>"I can, however, attempt to give you certain concepts, relationships and parallels <wrap hide>301|00:35:43|660|00:35:51|200</wrap>which may serve to close this section on astrology and lay the foundation for future <wrap hide>302|00:35:51|200|00:36:01|400</wrap>teaching around the year 2025. That is the mode whereby all revelation comes: a thought is given, <wrap hide>303|00:36:01|400|00:36:05|800</wrap>the symbol described, an idea portrayed. Then, as the minds of men ponder upon it and the <wrap hide>304|00:36:05|800|00:36:10|300</wrap>intuitives of the world pick up the thought, it serves as a needed seed thought which eventually <wrap hide>305|00:36:10|300|00:36:16|300</wrap>comes to fruition with the presentation and unfolding of revelation which serves to lead <wrap hide>306|00:36:16|300|00:36:26|800</wrap>the race of men near the goal." Future teaching around 2025. Now I'm also going to... um, try here: 2025 <wrap hide>307|00:36:28|040|00:36:39|260</wrap>astrology. Oh, there's only one—that's the only one. Uh, uh, yet let's see about that one. <wrap hide>308|00:36:40|140|00:36:51|980</wrap>Um, "next four decades until 2025." Okay, yeah, that's the one: "to lay a foundation for future teaching <wrap hide>309|00:36:53|400|00:37:01|200</wrap>around the year 2025." And this, you know, presumably is teaching on astrology because we're dealing <wrap hide>310|00:37:01|200|00:37:08|900</wrap>with astrology to lay a foundation. So I believe that astrology will be one of the first things to <wrap hide>311|00:37:08|900|00:37:17|340</wrap>come forth in Master D.K.'s new dispensation. Um, you know, what can we do about that? I mean, you know, some <wrap hide>312|00:37:17|340|00:37:24|840</wrap>of us will be around, some may not. We can prepare. How do we prepare? We prepare through <wrap hide>313|00:37:24|840|00:37:30|280</wrap>assimilation. We've been given so much—it's extraordinary. You know, the farther you go, the <wrap hide>314|00:37:30|280|00:37:37|280</wrap>more you realize how much you've been given. It's staggering, and, uh, our assimilative abilities are <wrap hide>315|00:37:37|280|00:37:44|040</wrap>relatively small. But what do we do? We exercise them and bring them into our consciousness and <wrap hide>316|00:37:44|040|00:37:53|120</wrap>attempt to apply them—apply what we assimilate—and, uh, reinterpret the world in terms <wrap hide>317|00:37:53|120|00:38:01|120</wrap>of the new astrological and race science which we make our own, part of our own mind and consciousness, <wrap hide>318|00:38:01|120|00:38:08|800</wrap>and do this assiduously until the year 2025 and maybe beyond, because even if things start in 2025, <wrap hide>319|00:38:08|800|00:38:13|760</wrap>it'll be a while before those books or presentations, in whatever form they are, <wrap hide>320|00:38:13|760|00:38:20|780</wrap>make their way, uh, into the world. You know, the teaching is to go forth over the radio. Well, okay, <wrap hide>321|00:38:20|780|00:38:27|400</wrap>I consider these webinars to be radio. Uh, you know, radio is a symbol for mass communications. <wrap hide>322|00:38:27|400|00:38:34|260</wrap>But what I'm trying to do is promote assimilation, to promote intelligent speculation. I'm not <wrap hide>323|00:38:34|260|00:38:40|420</wrap>pretending that what I'm giving is the new astrology. I'm just... Master D.K. gave us something, <wrap hide>324|00:38:41|240|00:38:46|640</wrap>and I'm trying to understand it and work with you so that you can understand it more deeply as well. <wrap hide>325|00:38:46|640|00:38:54|580</wrap>And I'm ready to be surprised by what he himself will bring forth in the year 2025—around the year <wrap hide>326|00:38:54|580|00:39:04|500</wrap>2025—and it, I'm sure, it will be additional to what has been given thus far. There are some <wrap hide>327|00:39:04|500|00:39:09|220</wrap>few unpublished writings which are now out there, and they have to do with the point opposite the <wrap hide>328|00:39:09|220|00:39:18|420</wrap>sun sign as the monadic point, and they have to do with some meditations which he gave but didn't <wrap hide>329|00:39:18|420|00:39:24|780</wrap>fully give, and so forth. But that's not what I expect the new astrology to be—that's part of it, <wrap hide>330|00:39:24|780|00:39:32|360</wrap>that's part of it, only a little part of it. Our task is not to project about what he will say <wrap hide>331|00:39:32|360|00:39:42|620</wrap>when he says it. Our task is to assimilate, absorb, apply, integrate what already has been given. <wrap hide>332|00:39:43|180|00:39:50|060</wrap>That takes a lot of work, doesn't it? A lot of work. And we have to... by our experience, we choose how <wrap hide>333|00:39:50|060|00:39:59|080</wrap>we spend our time. You know, I feel a great urgency in trying to tackle some of these books. By that, I <wrap hide>334|00:39:59|080|00:40:04|140</wrap>mean just share my understanding of them in a fairly spontaneous manner. I've spent many years <wrap hide>335|00:40:04|140|00:40:10|940</wrap>writing books with exact thought, you know, as much exactitude of thought as I could <wrap hide>336|00:40:11|460|00:40:17|760</wrap>manage. But it's a slow process, and time being what it is or isn't, I feel it's best to <wrap hide>337|00:40:18|600|00:40:23|640</wrap>try to reach you with what spontaneously comes to mind. There are other books that I would like <wrap hide>338|00:40:23|640|00:40:28|540</wrap>to talk through as well. There are sections in the Raves and Initiations which I would like to speak <wrap hide>339|00:40:28|540|00:40:33|980</wrap>about, sections from the Old Commentary I'd like to write about, or rather, you know, talk about. <wrap hide>340|00:40:33|980|00:40:41|300</wrap>You know, Mercury on the Midheaven—that's how it is in Aries—and I've done a lot in Cosmic Fire <wrap hide>341|00:40:41|300|00:40:47|220</wrap>so far, but that's more in exactitude, exactitude of thought. Maybe there's another hundred pages which <wrap hide>342|00:40:47|220|00:40:52|680</wrap>need that exactitude of thought treatment, the written treatment. Let's see if we can get through <wrap hide>343|00:40:52|680|00:40:59|360</wrap>astrology. Probably be, you know, some three or three hundred and fifty, three hundred and fifty of these <wrap hide>344|00:40:59|360|00:41:04|800</wrap>one-hour programs. Who will have the endurance to live through that, especially with a talkative <wrap hide>345|00:41:04|800|00:41:13|720</wrap>teacher? I don't know, but all right, we'll see. <wrap quote>One of the questions which normally arises might be <wrap hide>346|00:41:13|720|00:41:18|960</wrap>expressed as follows and was so expressed by an interested astrological student,</wrap> probably one of <wrap hide>347|00:41:18|960|00:41:25|280</wrap>the people in the Arcane School, you know, something like that. He was closely related to Dane Rudhyar, <wrap hide>348|00:41:25|280|00:41:30|200</wrap>very, you know, wonderful astrologer and friend of Alice Bailey and a true world disciple and <wrap hide>349|00:41:30|200|00:41:35|140</wrap>therefore an initiate of the third degree, as far as I can see. <wrap quote>It involved the following inquiry: <wrap hide>350|00:41:36|800|00:41:43|120</wrap>"Granted the inevitability of a man eventually reversing the mode of his passage through the <wrap hide>351|00:41:43|120|00:41:49|620</wrap>12 signs, at what time in and what sign does the sun reverse?"</wrap> Whoop! Oh, the sun doesn't reverse, does <wrap hide>352|00:41:49|620|00:41:56|120</wrap>it? So this is going to betray some sort of misunderstanding. The sun does not reverse at all. <wrap hide>353|00:41:56|120|00:42:03|420</wrap>The sun can be found in any sign. It's just how you respond to it, isn't it? <wrap quote>"At what point in the <wrap hide>354|00:42:03|420|00:42:10|240</wrap>swing of the zodiac can this reversal in the sun itself be seen taking place?"</wrap> So, you know, it's a <wrap hide>355|00:42:10|240|00:42:18|420</wrap>very literal type of question, isn't it? And it's non-astronomical, very literal and non-astronomical, <wrap hide>356|00:42:19|060|00:42:25|980</wrap>isn't it? Well, D.K. says, <wrap quote>"Unless you have some grasp of the nature of the great illusion of the <wrap hide>357|00:42:26|820|00:42:33|120</wrap>constitution of the sun"</wrap>—because the sun is so much more than it appears to be, and we hardly know, in a <wrap hide>358|00:42:33|120|00:42:41|460</wrap>way, even what it is externally. There are types of states of matter in the sun which we have <wrap hide>359|00:42:41|460|00:42:47|240</wrap>not yet recognized—<wrap quote>"it will be hard for you to understand the significance of my reply. <wrap hide>1|00:00:04|300|00:00:05|660</wrap>The sun to which you are referring is the physical sun and its apparent path in the heavens."</wrap> What is <wrap hide>361|00:42:54|400|00:43:03|940</wrap>the apparent path? The apparent path is the zodiac. It's the zodiac, and there is—we know it's an <wrap hide>362|00:43:03|940|00:43:10|820</wrap>illusory path because it's the earth; it's revolving around the sun, and it's just a seeming that occurs. <wrap hide>363|00:43:11|380|00:43:19|800</wrap>"This appearance will not outwardly change." The appearance of the sun against certain constellations <wrap hide>364|00:43:20|500|00:43:27|520</wrap>and against different sections of the earth's orbit will not outwardly change. Here is the <wrap hide>365|00:43:27|520|00:43:32|200</wrap>statement of importance: "The real sun under <wrap quote>which our planetary life will eventually function <wrap hide>366|00:43:32|900|00:43:39|560</wrap>and to</wrap> which response will be made is the heart of the sun." The heart of the sun—okay, this is the <wrap hide>367|00:43:39|560|00:43:44|640</wrap>second level of the sun. The second level rulership of Leo tells us something about it, because it is <wrap hide>368|00:43:44|640|00:43:52|820</wrap>the sun veiling Neptune, and Neptune is associated with the heart of the sun and is the repository of <wrap hide>369|00:43:52|820|00:44:00|360</wrap>the solar flames. Neptune is a great second ray monadic planet. Heart of the sun is analogous to <wrap hide>370|00:44:00|360|00:44:07|000</wrap>our own soul nature on the higher mental plane, and the true heart of the sun, which most of the <wrap hide>371|00:44:07|900|00:44:13|500</wrap>definitions and references point to, is the soul nature of the Solar Logos found on the higher <wrap hide>372|00:44:13|500|00:44:20|980</wrap>mental plane—his own egoic lotus and his own consciousness, that consciousness of the divine <wrap hide>373|00:44:20|980|00:44:28|500</wrap>sun of love in our solar system with its second ray soul. So the heart of the sun is what we have <wrap hide>374|00:44:28|500|00:44:35|180</wrap>to learn to respond to, and just the way we have to learn how to respond to the soul. The <wrap hide>375|00:44:35|180|00:44:43|460</wrap>physical sun has a very important effect upon the etheric physical vehicle and upon the entire solar <wrap hide>376|00:44:43|460|00:44:55|240</wrap>system, which is cosmically etheric and physical, but it is not the major focus of the occultist's <wrap hide>377|00:44:56|780|00:45:03|920</wrap>response or cultivated response. <wrap quote>When that is controlling</wrap> the heart of the sun, <wrap quote>the spiritual <wrap hide>378|00:45:03|920|00:45:10|800</wrap>man will then live a dual life simultaneously, which is ever the problem of the man who is <wrap hide>379|00:45:10|800|00:45:17|500</wrap>illumined by the soul as well</wrap> as by the light of day. The Scorpio type of light is called the <wrap hide>380|00:45:17|500|00:45:27|180</wrap>light of day, but in this particular... excuse me, talking too fast. Okay, in this particular case, <wrap hide>381|00:45:27|180|00:45:32|700</wrap>the light of day seems to be a more external type of light. It doesn't mean the light of the buddhic <wrap hide>382|00:45:32|700|00:45:37|720</wrap>plane as it should mean in relation to Scorpio, when all illusion is overcome and the height is <wrap hide>383|00:45:37|720|00:45:42|740</wrap>lifted high into the buddhic light of day. On the other hand, the Scorpio person has to take all <wrap hide>384|00:45:42|740|00:45:49|140</wrap>problems and work them out right here on the systemic physical plane, which in another way can <wrap hide>385|00:45:49|140|00:45:54|820</wrap>be considered the light of day. So we have to learn how to be in this world and yet not of it, to live <wrap hide>386|00:45:54|820|00:46:01|360</wrap>the dual life of discipleship, to live simultaneously through the lower and higher pairs of opposites, to <wrap hide>387|00:46:01|360|00:46:08|240</wrap>live the personality life and the soul life. It's a Geminian problem. It's also a problem undertaken <wrap hide>388|00:46:08|240|00:46:16|840</wrap>in Virgo, where there is a fusion of these two types of man: the higher ego is man, <wrap hide>389|00:46:16|840|00:46:22|600</wrap>and the personality is man. Okay, so when the heart of the sun is controlling, the spiritual man <wrap hide>390|00:46:23|120|00:46:28|040</wrap>will then live a dual life simultaneously. The true spiritual man is the monad—the monad in extension, <wrap hide>391|00:46:28|040|00:46:35|740</wrap>the monad in any state of immersion. So, you know, most people are living quite a unitary, <wrap hide>392|00:46:35|740|00:46:43|300</wrap>a single life within their personality, and which they consider to be kind of an unalterable unit, <wrap hide>393|00:46:43|300|00:46:52|220</wrap>and they don't have the experience of communicating with that inner and higher self. So we, on the other <wrap hide>394|00:46:52|220|00:46:58|500</wrap>hand, as disciples, have to be illumined by that which the soul knows, by that which we are as a <wrap hide>395|00:46:58|500|00:47:04|700</wrap>soul, and also by that which we are as a personality in the light of day on the outer planes in our <wrap hide>396|00:47:04|700|00:47:10|540</wrap>objective life. And this dual life, says the Tibetan, will consist of our apparent experience <wrap hide>397|00:47:10|540|00:47:24|480</wrap>in situations. Notice he hints at the illusion here—D.K. hints at the illusory nature of our <wrap hide>398|00:47:25|420|00:47:36|780</wrap>experience within the lower three worlds—and our inner spiritual soul awareness, <wrap hide>399|00:47:36|780|00:47:41|700</wrap>which we are all attempting to cultivate, especially through meditation, through deep <wrap hide>400|00:47:41|700|00:47:49|480</wrap>study, and through the sense of the presence of the soul which occurs when service is truly given <wrap hide>401|00:47:49|480|00:47:56|720</wrap>in the spontaneous spiritual sense. The personality will still respond to the influences coming to it <wrap hide>402|00:47:56|720|00:48:02|780</wrap>from the physical sun, because in a way the physical sun is very active with respect to <wrap hide>403|00:48:02|780|00:48:08|920</wrap>entire solar system. And where is that solar system found? On the cosmic ethers and the cosmic <wrap hide>404|00:48:09|780|00:48:15|220</wrap>dense physical body of the solar Logos. So certainly the personality, which exists within <wrap hide>405|00:48:15|220|00:48:22|260</wrap>the dense physical body of the solar Logos, will respond to the physical sun. But the motivated life <wrap hide>406|00:48:22|260|00:48:26|980</wrap>activity and the subjective experience of the inner man will be conditioned by energies coming <wrap hide>407|00:48:26|980|00:48:34|120</wrap>to him from the heart of the sun—i.e., from the higher cosmic mental plane. And one wonders, you <wrap hide>408|00:48:34|120|00:48:45|060</wrap>know, let's just say the Buddha—that's Buddha—the Buddha had a cosmic mental touch, as we are <wrap hide>409|00:48:45|060|00:48:51|100</wrap>told, touching the cosmic mental plane. Did he touch the solar angelic realm of that greater <wrap hide>410|00:48:51|100|00:48:56|100</wrap>solar angel which is the solar angel for the solar Logos? Did he touch the higher cosmic mental plane? <wrap hide>411|00:48:56|100|00:49:01|940</wrap>This is not given, but he did touch the cosmic mental plane at some point. That is the heart <wrap hide>412|00:49:01|940|00:49:06|540</wrap>of the sun. There's also something called occasionally the subjective sun. It has something <wrap hide>413|00:49:06|540|00:49:14|600</wrap>to do with the astral nature, the astral body on the cosmic mental plane—cosmic astral plane, <wrap hide>414|00:49:14|600|00:49:20|040</wrap>excuse me—the cosmic astral plane of our solar Logos, sometimes called the subjective sun. Though <wrap hide>415|00:49:20|040|00:49:25|620</wrap>sometimes the term "subjective sun" does refer to the heart of the sun. We have to follow D.K.'s <wrap hide>416|00:49:25|620|00:49:31|940</wrap>terminology very carefully, because, you know, it changes around, and you have to study the context <wrap hide>417|00:49:31|940|00:49:42|400</wrap>to see what he's really talking about. Okay, so the subjective experience of the inner man—and that <wrap hide>418|00:49:42|400|00:49:46|380</wrap>doesn't mean just the psychological experience, because that's personal—we're talking about that <wrap hide>419|00:49:46|380|00:49:52|880</wrap>which occurs on our higher mental plane, our systemic higher mental plane and beyond. The <wrap hide>420|00:49:52|880|00:49:56|800</wrap>subjective experience of the inner man will be conditioned by energies coming to him from the <wrap hide>421|00:49:56|800|00:50:03|140</wrap>heart of the sun, which will affect his soul nature. I would here recall to your minds the <wrap hide>422|00:50:03|140|00:50:09|740</wrap>teaching of the ageless wisdom as given in The Secret Doctrine—a wonderful book which should be <wrap hide>423|00:50:09|740|00:50:17|820</wrap>used for more than opening doors. You know, opening doors, keeping them open—heavy books are good for <wrap hide>424|00:50:17|820|00:50:25|460</wrap>doors open. Well, anyway, The Secret Doctrine should be read and not just allowed to sit on <wrap hide>425|00:50:25|460|00:50:30|420</wrap>a shelf one day, it could fall off and hit us on the head. Well, that might not be a bad thing. <wrap hide>426|00:50:30|900|00:50:34|940</wrap>I would here recall to your minds the teaching of the Ageless Wisdom <wrap quote>as given in The Secret Doctrine <wrap hide>427|00:50:34|940|00:50:43|400</wrap>and elaborated by me in my later books, that the sun has to be discovered and known in its triple <wrap hide>428|00:50:43|400|00:50:52|660</wrap>nature, which is threefold as is the Trinity.</wrap> So this is the triple sun of astrology, um, <wrap hide>429|00:50:53|500|00:50:59|620</wrap>that term kind of emphasized by a number of astrologers, including Steven Pew. As I said, a very <wrap hide>430|00:50:59|620|00:51:05|820</wrap>insightful and pioneering astrologer, uh, the triple sun meaning the personality nature <wrap hide>431|00:51:06|440|00:51:13|020</wrap>represented by the position of the sun in your horoscope, the soul nature represented, uh, or <wrap hide>432|00:51:13|020|00:51:20|360</wrap>indicated at least by the ascendant in your horoscope, and the monadic, uh, sun which is <wrap hide>433|00:51:20|360|00:51:26|480</wrap>related to the point opposite the sun sign in your horoscope. That whole relationship between <wrap hide>434|00:51:27|070|00:51:34|360</wrap>your sun sign and the opposite point is like an anticorona with the sun, the actual <wrap hide>435|00:51:34|360|00:51:39|060</wrap>sun in the sky being at the bottom of the anticorona within the personality, and the highest <wrap hide>436|00:51:39|060|00:51:47|440</wrap>point or the monadic point indicated by the point opposite the sun. But in a way, <wrap hide>437|00:51:48|100|00:51:54|680</wrap>your personality, your soul, your monad, they are all suns, and that's another way to look at the <wrap hide>438|00:51:54|680|00:52:03|000</wrap>triple sun in your horoscope. The triple sun, and we have to, uh, devise a triangular <wrap hide>439|00:52:03|000|00:52:07|720</wrap>relationship between all of them. A lot can be learned for the advanced individual when he looks <wrap hide>440|00:52:07|720|00:52:12|420</wrap>at the relationship between the sun sign, his ascendant, and the point opposite the sun. That <wrap hide>441|00:52:12|420|00:52:20|740</wrap>will in most cases produce a kind of triangle. And even if two of the factors are the same, even if <wrap hide>442|00:52:20|740|00:52:26|220</wrap>three of the factors are the same... Say you're born with the sun and... Well, three of the factors can't <wrap hide>443|00:52:26|220|00:52:30|940</wrap>be the same because there's always going to be a point opposite your sun sign. But two of the factors <wrap hide>444|00:52:30|940|00:52:38|760</wrap>can be the same. For instance, your rising sign can be the same as the point opposite the <wrap hide>445|00:52:38|760|00:52:46|540</wrap>sun sign. But we will just create a triangle by interpreting these points at different levels of <wrap hide>446|00:52:46|540|00:52:54|820</wrap>expression and in relation to different dimensions. Okay, so work with that particular triangle, <wrap hide>447|00:52:55|540|00:53:01|460</wrap>and that is the trinity in every individual horoscope, and it is foundational. It is <wrap hide>448|00:53:01|460|00:53:05|980</wrap>fundamental. It is the thing which we should always have in mind. You know, there are many, <wrap hide>449|00:53:05|980|00:53:11|000</wrap>many details in astrology. They are quite amazing, quite interesting. You can get lost in them. But <wrap hide>450|00:53:11|000|00:53:17|440</wrap>we should use astrology as a firm spiritual guide to tell us how to integrate and master <wrap hide>451|00:53:17|440|00:53:22|160</wrap>our personality, how to express our soul in a particular incarnation, and if we are sufficiently <wrap hide>452|00:53:22|160|00:53:28|720</wrap>advanced, how to bring the spirit into expression in a particular incarnation via particular sign <wrap hide>453|00:53:28|720|00:53:36|040</wrap>and planet and house position. We can know our soul ray ruler. Say if your secondary soul is Jupiter, <wrap hide>454|00:53:36|040|00:53:46|260</wrap>let us say. But do we know our monadic ray ruler? That is the question. So, you know, most of us are <wrap hide>455|00:53:46|260|00:53:52|140</wrap>third or second ray monads. Maybe there are a few first ray monads. So basically, either Jupiter or <wrap hide>456|00:53:52|140|00:54:03|440</wrap>Saturn is the monadic ray ruler, and for most people in these groups... Oh, that gets complicated. I don't want to get into that too much because it seems that we have two monadic rays. <wrap hide>457|00:54:04|380|00:54:08|720</wrap>The first sub-level can be any one of the seven monadic rays, and the final monadic ray <wrap hide>458|00:54:08|720|00:54:14|380</wrap>has to be one, two, or three. It seems to be the case, but we will know more about that <wrap hide>459|00:54:15|140|00:54:22|920</wrap>as time unfolds. <wrap quote>The tabulation below may serve to make this idea somewhat</wrap> clear. So the physical sun <wrap hide>460|00:54:23|840|00:54:29|780</wrap>is related to the mutable cross, and it influences the mutable cross. The sun sign indicating the <wrap hide>461|00:54:29|780|00:54:34|360</wrap>personality indicates the mutable cross. Maybe I can make... If I just make these a little <wrap hide>462|00:54:35|620|00:54:41|060</wrap>smaller, there's a possibility that it may look more like a tabulation. In the last analysis, yes, <wrap hide>463|00:54:41|060|00:54:50|220</wrap>it kind of does. So the physical sun represents the form and the personality, and it influences <wrap hide>464|00:54:50|220|00:54:55|880</wrap>the mutable cross. So for so many years, many, many years, you have to study your sun sign above all <wrap hide>465|00:54:55|880|00:55:02|020</wrap>to find out who you are, because the rising sign will only give physical and personal indications. <wrap hide>466|00:55:02|020|00:55:08|740</wrap>Now let's be, you know, let's be astute about this. The rising sign is effective even in the <wrap hide>467|00:55:08|740|00:55:13|520</wrap>non-spiritual person, and it does have a definite connection with your physical body and with your <wrap hide>468|00:55:13|520|00:55:20|860</wrap>health and with your personality. There are many people studying astrology who think that the <wrap hide>469|00:55:20|860|00:55:25|720</wrap>sun sign is the real thing and the rising sign is just a mask. That was one of the ideas of which I <wrap hide>470|00:55:25|720|00:55:32|440</wrap>had to disabuse myself when I first started studying astrology. You know, it's not really true. <wrap hide>471|00:55:34|020|00:55:42|280</wrap>But it is very physical in a certain respect and very personal, so even the personal, even <wrap hide>472|00:55:42|280|00:55:48|720</wrap>the spiritual points can be interpreted in a personal way, and even the sacred planets <wrap hide>473|00:55:50|000|00:55:55|280</wrap>have... the sacred planets have personal and non-sacred meanings because the energy will <wrap hide>474|00:55:55|280|00:55:59|840</wrap>be adapted to the kind of form through which you are expressing. The heart of the sun represents <wrap hide>475|00:55:59|840|00:56:05|980</wrap>soul consciousness, and it influences the fixed cross. The soul influences the fixed cross, <wrap hide>476|00:56:06|880|00:56:13|240</wrap>and the heart of the sun energy pouring through the ego on the higher mental plane will <wrap hide>477|00:56:13|840|00:56:20|120</wrap>influence the soul in incarnation and make it stronger and stronger and help it dis-identify <wrap hide>478|00:56:20|800|00:56:28|320</wrap>from the circumstantial entanglements in the lower three worlds. As far as the central spiritual sun <wrap hide>479|00:56:28|880|00:56:38|140</wrap>goes, it is representing the life or being or will, and the central spiritual sun is your monad, really. <wrap hide>480|00:56:38|140|00:56:43|920</wrap>Well, actually that's your microcosmic central spiritual sun. The macrocosmic central spiritual <wrap hide>481|00:56:43|920|00:56:50|900</wrap>sun in relation to our solar system is the monadic nature of our solar Logos, and it is <wrap hide>482|00:56:50|900|00:56:57|120</wrap>found to be influencing upon the cardinal cross when we have jettisoned so many of the different <wrap hide>483|00:56:57|120|00:57:02|620</wrap>stages of involvement and find ourselves at the sixth initiation as a liberated monad. <wrap hide>484|00:57:03|460|00:57:11|440</wrap>That's a ways ahead for all of us, I'm sure. So this is the triple sun, and <wrap hide>485|00:57:12|260|00:57:17|600</wrap>right now most of us are trying to establish ourselves in causal consciousness and soul <wrap hide>486|00:57:17|600|00:57:23|300</wrap>consciousness, unitive consciousness, a consciousness which is not selfish but has <wrap hide>487|00:57:23|300|00:57:28|340</wrap>the element of love expressed through one of seven rays and is working in response to the <wrap hide>488|00:57:28|340|00:57:36|300</wrap>divine plan and attempting to intuit somewhat of the divine purpose. All right, yes, we are at <wrap hide>489|00:57:36|300|00:57:44|760</wrap>that point. Okay, so this is the end of... oh, are we going to go through this with the... okay, looks like <wrap hide>490|00:57:44|760|00:57:49|520</wrap>we're going to go through this again. Yes, the disappearing screen. It seems to be saying, "Oh, <wrap hide>491|00:57:49|520|00:57:56|880</wrap>the computer is too clogged and please start me again and clean me out." I've cleaned it out, but <wrap hide>492|00:57:57|740|00:58:05|960</wrap>it seems to want to pull a blank on me here, which is, you know, unfortunate because it takes up a <wrap hide>493|00:58:05|960|00:58:17|300</wrap>little bit of time. But then, what is time anyway? They say time is of the essence. Time is creation. <wrap hide>494|00:58:19|200|00:58:30|100</wrap>Is time then and form agree? Being and time do not agree. So creation descends to manifest. <wrap hide>495|00:58:32|260|00:58:37|840</wrap>Being descends to manifest. Creation is time then and form agree. Being in time do not agree. <wrap hide>496|00:58:38|740|00:58:43|440</wrap>We have to master time. It seems to be much more difficult than to master space. I think the <wrap hide>497|00:58:43|440|00:58:51|380</wrap>mastery of space is kind of a first project. Interestingly though, space is more connected <wrap hide>498|00:58:51|380|00:58:57|760</wrap>with second-ray Jupiter in time with third-ray Saturn, but also with first-ray Saturn from a <wrap hide>499|00:58:57|760|00:59:04|140</wrap>certain perspective. Well, obviously I'm stalling for time here while my computer runs through its <wrap hide>500|00:59:04|140|00:59:13|100</wrap>antics, philosophical on the spur of the moment. So this is the end of Esoteric Astrology Adventure 50... <wrap hide>501|00:59:13|440|00:59:24|140</wrap>one, and how far have we gotten? We started on page 110 or so, and oh goodness, we made it to page 111. <wrap hide>502|00:59:24|140|00:59:32|900</wrap>That's because I conducted a little bit of a review there: 110, which was reviewed, to 111, and <wrap hide>503|00:59:32|900|00:59:43|520</wrap>we're quite close, I think, to 112, going at the rate of approximately two pages per webinar. <wrap hide>504|00:59:44|740|00:59:54|100</wrap>Yes, we're almost there at 112. Okay, good. So let us then... let us do The Great Invocation together, <wrap hide>505|00:59:54|100|01:00:05|140</wrap>and from the point of light within... right, let us do that. <wrap hide>506|01:00:11|780|01:00:12|580</wrap>Oh. <wrap hide>507|01:00:21|180|01:00:25|060</wrap>From the point of light within the mind of God, <wrap hide>508|01:00:25|060|01:00:31|280</wrap>let light stream forth into the minds of men. Let light descend on Earth. <wrap hide>509|01:00:34|380|01:00:40|080</wrap>From the point of love within the heart of God, let love stream forth into the hearts of men. <wrap hide>510|01:00:40|080|01:00:49|380</wrap>May Christ return to Earth. From the center where the will of God is known, let purpose <wrap hide>511|01:00:49|380|01:00:55|220</wrap>guide the little wills of men, the purpose which the masters know and serve. <wrap hide>512|01:00:59|480|01:01:04|280</wrap>From the center which we call the race of men, let the plan of love and light <wrap hide>513|01:01:05|040|01:01:08|820</wrap>work out, and may it seal the door where evil dwells. <wrap hide>514|01:01:13|380|01:01:18|740</wrap>Let light and love and power restore the plan on Earth. <wrap hide>515|01:01:30|860|01:01:32|260</wrap>Oh. <wrap hide>516|01:01:38|980|01:01:40|380</wrap>Oh. <wrap hide>517|01:01:58|360|01:02:07|500</wrap>So... excuse me, that was a strong one. Sorry. All right, um, that's it, friends. We will <wrap hide>518|01:02:08|480|01:02:13|780</wrap>resume with Esoteric Astrology Adventure number 52. We're almost finished with the <wrap hide>519|01:02:14|420|01:02:20|760</wrap>sign Aries, but there is a... it's a long chapter because he's setting us up for the study <wrap hide>520|01:02:20|760|01:02:28|260</wrap>of the other chapters. All right, so farewell for now, and we'll see you soon. <wrap hide>521|01:02:29|720|01:02:30|220</wrap>Bye-bye.+<wrap hide>1|00:00:04|300|00:00:05|660</wrap>Hello everybody. <wrap hide>2|00:00:07|240|00:00:10|720</wrap>We are in Esoteric Astrology Adventure number 51. <wrap hide>3|00:00:12|240|00:00:15|560</wrap>We are still working in the sign Aries. <wrap hide>4|00:00:16|860|00:00:24|280</wrap>In which chapter many of the procedures to be followed in other chapters studying other <wrap hide>5|00:00:24|280|00:00:29|080</wrap>signs are set forth, therefore this is a longer chapter than usual. <wrap hide>6|00:00:29|080|00:00:39|120</wrap>Well, we've been reviewing some of those procedures, and D.K. tells us that in every chapter there <wrap hide>7|00:00:39|120|00:00:40|300</wrap>will be found the following. <wrap hide>8|00:00:41|140|00:00:46|360</wrap><wrap quote>The keynote of the signs:</wrap> they <wrap quote>express the underlying effect upon the man as he progresses <wrap hide>9|00:00:46|360|00:00:48|500</wrap>in one of two directions.</wrap> <wrap hide>10|00:00:48|960|00:00:55|280</wrap>Basically, these can be considered in a way the mantrums. <wrap hide>11|00:00:55|600|00:00:57|580</wrap>Although sometimes he calls these mantrums keywords. <wrap hide>12|00:00:57|580|00:00:59|980</wrap>For instance, "Let form again be sought." <wrap hide>13|00:01:00|680|00:01:03|640</wrap>That's the mantrum for the path of evolution for Aries. <wrap hide>14|00:01:04|480|00:01:08|600</wrap>And then there is "I come forth and from the plane of mind I rule." <wrap hide>15|00:01:09|300|00:01:12|080</wrap>That is a keynote, a mantrum for the disciple. <wrap hide>16|00:01:13|020|00:01:17|240</wrap>We also will learn about <wrap quote>the nature of the cross upon which the man is crucified at any <wrap hide>17|00:01:17|240|00:01:17|860</wrap>one time.</wrap> <wrap hide>18|00:01:18|580|00:01:23|120</wrap>Aries is on the cardinal cross, but the man may be on any of the three crosses in terms <wrap hide>19|00:01:23|120|00:01:23|860</wrap>of his consciousness. <wrap hide>20|00:01:24|640|00:01:31|380</wrap>The influence of the planetary ruler is orthodox and esoteric, so for Aries it's Mars and Mercury. <wrap hide>21|00:01:32|060|00:01:39|460</wrap>Mars orthodox and Mercury esoteric, and we've learned about the battle and strife of Mars <wrap hide>22|00:01:39|460|00:01:43|740</wrap>and the illuminative potential of Mercury. <wrap hide>23|00:01:45|100|00:01:51|520</wrap>I'm going to skip number four and come back to it because it is the most vexing of statements, <wrap hide>24|00:01:51|520|00:01:54|840</wrap>and you know there's probably a huge hint involved here. <wrap hide>25|00:01:55|400|00:01:56|520</wrap>I'll come back to that. <wrap hide>26|00:01:57|540|00:02:02|380</wrap>Number five: <wrap quote>the qualities of the signs and of the man who has come forth in a particular <wrap hide>27|00:02:02|380|00:02:02|860</wrap>sign.</wrap> <wrap hide>28|00:02:03|520|00:02:07|800</wrap>"In a particular sign" means the sun sign, but "under a particular sign" means the rising sign. <wrap hide>29|00:02:08|340|00:02:12|300</wrap>Qualities can be similar in actual practice. <wrap hide>30|00:02:12|300|00:02:22|460</wrap>So we learned of the Aries individual that there was the tendency to seek unity through <wrap hide>31|00:02:22|460|00:02:29|620</wrap>effort, to enter into battle for the Lord, to engage in a strong creative process, and so <wrap hide>32|00:02:29|620|00:02:30|040</wrap>forth. <wrap hide>33|00:02:31|300|00:02:34|900</wrap>We will learn of <wrap quote>the interplay between a sign and its polar opposite.</wrap> <wrap hide>34|00:02:35|040|00:02:40|980</wrap>This is found on 337 and 338 of Esoteric Astrology in the chapter on Cancer. <wrap hide>35|00:02:41|690|00:02:48|960</wrap>We learn which planets are exalted <wrap quote>in detriment, or which fall in any particular sign,</wrap> and D.K. <wrap hide>36|00:02:48|960|00:02:54|880</wrap>tells us, <wrap quote>"For a study of these will indicate the three phases of the path with its involutionary <wrap hide>37|00:02:54|880|00:03:01|700</wrap>cycle," presumably related to the fall, becoming increasingly involved in matter or life upon <wrap hide>38|00:03:01|700|00:03:06|420</wrap>the mutable cross,</wrap> then <wrap quote>the interlude of readjustment or struggle for liberation.</wrap> <wrap hide>39|00:03:06|420|00:03:11|600</wrap>This is probably related to the detriment, <wrap quote>which leads to the mounting of the fixed cross <wrap hide>40|00:03:12|080|00:03:17|780</wrap>and the period of liberation with the final mounting of the cardinal cross,</wrap> and this suggests <wrap hide>41|00:03:18|420|00:03:24|620</wrap>meanings of the exaltation of a planet in a particular sign. <wrap hide>42|00:03:28|360|00:03:36|200</wrap>Of course, there are other and more personal meanings for the fall, detriment, and exaltation, <wrap hide>43|00:03:36|820|00:03:42|020</wrap>but D.K. is looking at this from a somewhat—I would say a philosophical point of view. <wrap hide>44|00:03:43|960|00:03:48|260</wrap>Alright, let's go on to number eight. <wrap hide>45|00:03:49|840|00:03:51|080</wrap>What else will we learn here? <wrap hide>46|00:03:51|080|00:03:59|760</wrap><wrap quote>The significance of the key words for the mode of progress through the signs.</wrap> <wrap hide>47|00:04:01|080|00:04:09|220</wrap>Now these key words were—you know, for Aries: creativity, strife. Let's find the remaining <wrap hide>48|00:04:09|880|00:04:21|060</wrap>the key words for Aries, Esoteric Astrology, and we'll go to creativity, strife, and we'll— <wrap hide>49|00:04:21|060|00:04:25|520</wrap>what about strife alone? That ought to do it, perhaps. <wrap hide>50|00:04:27|060|00:04:29|600</wrap>Let's see what we have. There are five strifes. <wrap hide>51|00:04:30|620|00:04:41|160</wrap>Okay, yes: creation, being, activity, strife, and synthesis. And the key notes—he calls them <wrap hide>52|00:04:41|160|00:04:47|300</wrap>key notes. I think he exchanges the idea of key notes and key words. He tells us: express <wrap hide>53|00:04:47|300|00:04:52|340</wrap>the will to be and do, unfold the power to manifest under the first and seventh ray, pretty <wrap hide>54|00:04:52|340|00:04:58|680</wrap>much enter into battle for the Lord under Mars and the first ray, arrive at unity through <wrap hide>55|00:04:58|680|00:05:05|000</wrap>effort. The effort is provided by the sixth ray, the unity through struggle by the fourth <wrap hide>56|00:05:05|000|00:05:12|460</wrap>ray, and so forth. And he sums this up as key notes: creation, being, activity. Aries are often <wrap hide>57|00:05:12|460|00:05:17|860</wrap>hyperactive people. Strife—they are not afraid of conflict, although is it intelligent? That's <wrap hide>58|00:05:17|860|00:05:25|980</wrap>the question. And finally, synthesis, because it is a major sign which sees the homogeneous <wrap hide>59|00:05:27|600|00:05:34|860</wrap>being within all forms, and that's a high form of perception which is given later to the <wrap hide>60|00:05:34|860|00:05:38|320</wrap>Arian person under the influence of Uranus. <wrap hide>61|00:05:39|380|00:05:44|460</wrap>Okay, let's see what else we have here. And then <wrap quote>the underlying theme of any specific <wrap hide>62|00:05:44|460|00:05:52|100</wrap>zodiacal sign</wrap> covered by... whoops, my screen is disappearing. Seems to be time perhaps to <wrap hide>63|00:05:52|100|00:06:00|100</wrap>start the computer all over again. The underlying theme of any zodiacal sign covered by what? <wrap hide>64|00:06:00|100|00:06:12|820</wrap>Covered by something... let's see. A little bit disturbing. I'll have to see what I can do <wrap hide>65|00:06:12|820|00:06:24|700</wrap>when finally this stops acting up. Sorry for this, just a little technical delay. <wrap hide>66|00:06:31|040|00:06:41|180</wrap>Yeah, yes, a little delay. Covered by... yes, we ought to be there just about there now. Covered by what? <wrap hide>67|00:06:41|180|00:06:49|480</wrap>The idea of recreation, <wrap quote>regeneration, reorientation, and renunciation.</wrap> Okay, now let's go back to number <wrap hide>68|00:06:49|480|00:06:55|620</wrap>four, on which I probably pondered for 30 years, and I've had other people ponder on <wrap hide>69|00:06:55|620|00:07:00|720</wrap>it as well. Says <wrap quote>the rays which primarily express themselves through a particular sign...</wrap> okay, we've <wrap hide>70|00:07:00|720|00:07:08|360</wrap>identified the sign. In this case, let's say it's Aries and ray 1, 0, 7. And then the clue to which sign <wrap hide>71|00:07:08|360|00:07:18|280</wrap>it is... well, the question is, why is there needed a clue? Because the sign is already given. The clue <wrap hide>72|00:07:18|280|00:07:23|200</wrap>to which sign it is may be found in the orthodox planetary ruler with a personality ray is concerned <wrap hide>73|00:07:23|200|00:07:28|760</wrap>and the esoteric planetary ruler with the soul is concerned. Now, some people have used this to say <wrap hide>74|00:07:28|760|00:07:38|900</wrap>well, if you're born in Aries, chances are your personality ray will be either the sixth or the <wrap hide>75|00:07:38|900|00:07:46|600</wrap>fourth - six through Mars and the fourth maybe four disciples, the esoteric ruler of Mercury conveying <wrap hide>76|00:07:46|600|00:07:54|240</wrap>the fourth ray. But I think this is the superficial reading of this particular hint or conundrum, and <wrap hide>77|00:07:54|240|00:08:02|500</wrap>moreover, many of the people in Master D.K.'s groups contradict this very thing. I mean, you <wrap hide>78|00:08:02|500|00:08:09|140</wrap>know, you have, for instance, a person who is a Capricorn sun and he has a sixth ray personality. <wrap hide>79|00:08:09|140|00:08:16|580</wrap>Well, the ruler of Capricorn, both in the personality sense and in the esoteric sense, is ray three. Where <wrap hide>80|00:08:16|580|00:08:24|460</wrap>is ray six? Ray six is not found even with Venus. There's a slight ray six in Venus on a very high <wrap hide>81|00:08:24|460|00:08:29|160</wrap>level, but that's the hierarchical ruler, and we can't talk about personality rays in relation to <wrap hide>82|00:08:29|160|00:08:36|080</wrap>the hierarchical ruler. And let's say people born in Gemini - well, they should have either fourth-ray <wrap hide>83|00:08:36|080|00:08:40|900</wrap>personalities under the orthodox ruler Mercury, or fifth-ray personalities under the esoteric ruler <wrap hide>84|00:08:40|900|00:08:48|360</wrap>Venus. But no, they can have first and second and sixth and even seventh-ray personalities, and such <wrap hide>85|00:08:48|360|00:08:55|100</wrap>were people in Master D.K.'s group. Alice Bailey herself had a first-ray personality, and she was <wrap hide>86|00:08:55|100|00:09:00|940</wrap>solidly Gemini. Where did that first ray come from? From the hierarchical ruler, with Earth being having a <wrap hide>87|00:09:00|940|00:09:08|140</wrap>first-ray monad. It's stretching it a little bit far, but maybe there are other ways to interpret <wrap hide>88|00:09:08|140|00:09:18|520</wrap>this. We may be looking for related signs. Now, let's suppose that the person that we're looking for <wrap hide>89|00:09:18|520|00:09:28|740</wrap>signs that are related to the sign Aries. Let's say we have Aries, and let's just say that through <wrap hide>90|00:09:28|740|00:09:41|760</wrap>Aries comes the sixth ray. The orthodox planetary ruler where the personality ray is concerned... well, <wrap hide>91|00:09:41|760|00:09:58|720</wrap>you can be an Aries and have a personality ray on any of the rays. So maybe we should look for a <wrap hide>92|00:09:58|720|00:10:04|780</wrap>which conveys the first ray. Now, where would we find that? I think we would have to go to Scorpio, <wrap hide>93|00:10:04|780|00:10:13|880</wrap>where Pluto has a first ray and it is considered one of the rulers of Scorpio. Let's just say the <wrap hide>94|00:10:13|880|00:10:26|100</wrap>personality ray is the second ray. That's the second ray. The usual ruler is Jupiter, but what <wrap hide>95|00:10:26|560|00:10:36|880</wrap>sign has an exoteric ruler which conveys the second ray? Well, Leo does, because the Sun is the <wrap hide>96|00:10:36|880|00:10:46|260</wrap>ruler - second ray. Sagittarius does, because Jupiter is the ruler - second ray. Pisces does, because the <wrap hide>97|00:10:46|260|00:10:55|880</wrap>ruler is Jupiter again - second ray. And that's it, as far as I can see. So perhaps we would be bringing <wrap hide>98|00:10:55|880|00:11:06|960</wrap>in influence from these other three signs for the second ray personality who is born in Aries, and <wrap hide>99|00:11:06|960|00:11:16|780</wrap>we would probably find some way to blend the sixth ray Mars, which is the exoteric ruler, orthodox <wrap hide>100|00:11:16|780|00:11:22|980</wrap>ruler of Aries. Now, suppose there's the third ray. What would we do? A third ray personality of <wrap hide>101|00:11:22|980|00:11:29|940</wrap>somebody born in Aries... well, the only third ray planet we can find is Capricorn is Saturn Capricorn, <wrap hide>102|00:11:29|940|00:11:36|940</wrap>because Earth is not an esoteric ruler... and there is no other... well, it is an esoteric ruler, it's <wrap hide>103|00:11:36|940|00:11:42|640</wrap>not an orthodox ruler, and there is no other third ray planet of the conventional types of planets. So <wrap hide>104|00:11:42|640|00:11:50|760</wrap>we'd bring Capricorn into relation here. The clue to which sign it may be... see, we've already named <wrap hide>105|00:11:50|760|00:11:56|480</wrap>the sign and are looking for a clue to another sign. So, you know, unless this is really a typo and <wrap hide>106|00:11:56|480|00:12:03|440</wrap>you know, if it's a typo, D.K. said he did proofread this book, and so if it's a typo, it's a typo which <wrap hide>107|00:12:03|440|00:12:10|160</wrap>has caused perplexity or will have caused perplexity for 80, 90, 100 years — maybe probably 90 years before <wrap hide>108|00:12:10|160|00:12:16|900</wrap>the new third volume of Esoteric Astrology comes out. Let's suppose you're a fourth-ray personality <wrap hide>109|00:12:16|900|00:12:23|060</wrap>and you're born in Aries. Well, we can bring in and associate the sign Cancer because the Moon is the <wrap hide>110|00:12:23|060|00:12:30|560</wrap>orthodox ruler of Cancer. We can bring in Gemini, and we can bring in Virgo because Mercury conveys <wrap hide>111|00:12:30|560|00:12:36|800</wrap>the fourth ray. If you're a fifth-ray personality and you're born in Aries, we're going to bring in — <wrap hide>112|00:12:37|720|00:12:45|400</wrap>we're going to bring in Libra and Taurus because they both have Venus rulerships of an orthodox <wrap hide>113|00:12:45|400|00:12:54|640</wrap>kind. If you're a sixth-ray personality, we're going to bring in Scorpio and Aries. Of course, <wrap hide>114|00:12:54|640|00:13:00|460</wrap>Aries is ruled by Mars, which is the sixth ray. Scorpio naturally has a connection. See, this is a way <wrap hide>115|00:13:00|460|00:13:14|000</wrap>of showing relationships of different — of different signs to a particular sign via the personality <wrap hide>116|00:13:14|000|00:13:25|660</wrap>ray. Okay, now, so suppose — and Neptune does not have any orthodox rulership unless we want to say that <wrap hide>117|00:13:25|660|00:13:36|120</wrap>Pisces is somehow orthodoxly ruled by Neptune. But D.K. says no, Alan Leo says yes. We could bring in <wrap hide>118|00:13:36|120|00:13:41|620</wrap>Pisces, I suppose, but we would certainly bring in Scorpio. Now suppose we have the seventh ray. We're <wrap hide>119|00:13:41|620|00:13:45|270</wrap>going to be looking for the seventh-ray planet — that's Uranus — and we'd bring in Aquarius, and <wrap hide>120|00:13:45|860|00:13:51|420</wrap>that's all we could do at the present time, even though Jupiter does have a strong seventh ray <wrap hide>121|00:13:51|420|00:13:58|520</wrap>connected with it. But it's not — not one of the rays that has been described, except it has been hinted <wrap hide>122|00:13:58|520|00:14:05|320</wrap>at. Okay, so if you have a personality ray on any one of those rays and you're born in the sign Aries, <wrap hide>123|00:14:06|100|00:14:16|240</wrap>you can bring the particular signs that I discussed into relation with your sun sign Aries, let us say, <wrap hide>124|00:14:16|240|00:14:25|400</wrap>and with your planetary ruler. The planetary ruler varies, being Mars in the orthodox sense. Now I'm <wrap hide>125|00:14:25|400|00:14:32|860</wrap>not saying that this completely solves this difficult sentence — it really does not — but let's <wrap hide>126|00:14:32|860|00:14:39|420</wrap>go through the soul rays and show the contrast. If you are a first-ray soul, we're going to look for a <wrap hide>127|00:14:39|420|00:14:46|960</wrap>first-ray planet in an esoteric position, and we're going to find — we're going to find Taurus, where <wrap hide>128|00:14:46|960|00:14:53|480</wrap>Vulcan rules esoterically, and we're going to find even Virgo, where Vulcan is veiled esoterically by <wrap hide>129|00:14:53|480|00:15:00|240</wrap>the Moon, and we're going to find Pluto. We're going to find Scorpio, where Pluto is also associated in <wrap hide>130|00:15:00|240|00:15:07|240</wrap>an esoteric sense. We may infer we're going to also find Pisces, where Pluto is the definite esoteric <wrap hide>131|00:15:07|240|00:15:18|820</wrap>ruler. So first-ray personality — okay, we may be experiencing degraded audio, hopefully not. Okay, <wrap hide>132|00:15:20|780|00:15:30|680</wrap>we're going to bring in those other signs when you have a first-ray soul. Did I say personality? <wrap hide>133|00:15:30|680|00:15:37|180</wrap>I'm sorry, not personality. So if you're a first-ray soul, we're going to bring in those other signs in <wrap hide>134|00:15:37|180|00:15:45|400</wrap>relation to Aries, and — and so we could go through all the different signs. Okay, if you're a second-ray <wrap hide>135|00:15:45|400|00:15:50|540</wrap>soul, we're going to look for the place where a second-ray planet is the esoteric ruler, and <wrap hide>136|00:15:50|540|00:15:56|860</wrap>we're going to find Leo — Leo veiling Neptune, the Sun getting Neptune in the esoteric position. We're <wrap hide>137|00:15:56|860|00:16:02|200</wrap>also going to find Aquarius, where Jupiter, the second-ray planet, is in the esoteric position. So <wrap hide>138|00:16:02|200|00:16:09|560</wrap>we're going to bring Aquarius and Leo into relationship with Aries for the second-ray soul <wrap hide>139|00:16:09|560|00:16:15|960</wrap>who's born in Aries. Now exactly what this would mean would have to be worked out in the individual <wrap hide>140|00:16:15|960|00:16:24|480</wrap>sense. Suppose you're a third-ray soul. We're going to look for third-ray planets. The esoteric <wrap hide>141|00:16:24|480|00:16:31|120</wrap>planetary ruler for Aries is Mercury, so Mercury will naturally be related to whatever signs and <wrap hide>142|00:16:31|120|00:16:38|900</wrap>planets we bring into consideration. Excuse me. So for the third ray, we're going to bring in <wrap hide>143|00:16:38|900|00:16:42|520</wrap>Capricorn naturally because Saturn is the esoteric ruler. We're going to bring in Sagittarius because <wrap hide>144|00:16:42|520|00:16:48|480</wrap>the Earth — third-ray Earth — is the esoteric ruler of Sagittarius, and that's all we can do at the <wrap hide>145|00:16:48|480|00:16:54|660</wrap>moment. If it's the fourth ray — you're a fourth-ray soul — there's not many of them around at the moment, <wrap hide>146|00:16:54|660|00:17:03|220</wrap>but we would bring in Aries, which of course is — it's in its own position, and we would bring in — <wrap hide>147|00:17:03|220|00:17:10|240</wrap>hmm, that does seem to be maybe the only sign. Oh well, we could bring in the Moon. We could bring in <wrap hide>148|00:17:10|240|00:17:19|920</wrap>the Moon as the esoteric ruler of Virgo, and I cannot think of anything else because Mercury is <wrap hide>149|00:17:19|920|00:17:25|700</wrap>the esoteric ruler of Aries and the Moon — fourth-ray Moon — is the esoteric ruler of Virgo, although the <wrap hide>150|00:17:25|700|00:17:33|540</wrap>Moon. It's hard to stretch it into an esoteric planet, yet it is. But really what it veils both <wrap hide>151|00:17:33|540|00:17:44|500</wrap>Vulcan, fourth-ray Vulcan, in a way fourth-ray monad, and Neptune are really the power there in <wrap hide>152|00:17:44|500|00:17:49|180</wrap>the esoteric position of Virgo. Suppose you're a fifth-ray soul. Well, we're going to look for a <wrap hide>153|00:17:49|180|00:17:52|860</wrap>place where a fifth-ray planet, of which we only know Venus at the moment, is in the esoteric <wrap hide>154|00:17:52|860|00:17:57|700</wrap>position. So we're going to look for Gemini, and we will bring in Gemini in relation to Aries. So <wrap hide>155|00:17:57|700|00:18:06|720</wrap>Venus and Mercury will be related: Mercury as the esoteric ruler of Aries and Venus as the soul <wrap hide>156|00:18:06|720|00:18:13|760</wrap>ray ruler which is ruling the sign Gemini esoterically. Suppose you're a sixth-ray soul. <wrap hide>157|00:18:13|760|00:18:19|400</wrap>There are many of them at the moment. We're going to look for Mars and Neptune. We're going to find <wrap hide>158|00:18:19|400|00:18:24|800</wrap>Mars in the esoteric position in Scorpio, and that's the only place we find it in an esoteric <wrap hide>159|00:18:24|800|00:18:30|340</wrap>position. And we're going to look at Neptune in the esoteric position in Cancer. So Scorpio and Cancer <wrap hide>160|00:18:30|340|00:18:36|860</wrap>would be brought in, and maybe Pisces, because it is a special type of ruler. Neptune is a special <wrap hide>161|00:18:36|860|00:18:43|600</wrap>type of ruler in Pisces. When we're going to look for the seventh-ray souls, it's going to be Uranus. <wrap hide>162|00:18:44|200|00:18:48|920</wrap>It's the only seventh-ray planet we're given, at least, although there are probably quite a few <wrap hide>163|00:18:48|920|00:18:55|940</wrap>other seventh-ray planets in the 115 or so planets we have in our solar system. We're going to look <wrap hide>164|00:18:55|940|00:19:02|500</wrap>for Libra because Uranus is the esoteric ruler of Libra, and we're going to bring Libra into relation <wrap hide>165|00:19:02|500|00:19:10|220</wrap>with Scorpio and Uranus into relation with Mercury, the esoteric ruler of Aries. The rays <wrap hide>166|00:19:10|220|00:19:15|380</wrap>which primarily express themselves through a particular sign—okay, there are two ways of <wrap hide>167|00:19:15|380|00:19:25|600</wrap>expressing. One is constellational: you know, Ray 1 and 7 for Aries, Ray 4 for Taurus, Ray 2 for Gemini, <wrap hide>168|00:19:26|260|00:19:34|000</wrap>Ray 3 and 7 for Cancer, Ray 1 and 5 for Leo, Rays 2 and 6 for Virgo, Ray 3 for Libra, Ray 4 for <wrap hide>169|00:19:34|000|00:19:45|000</wrap>Scorpio, Rays 4, 5, 6 for Sagittarius, and Rays 1, 3 and 7 for <wrap hide>170|00:19:45|000|00:19:54|440</wrap>Capricorn and Aquarius, Ray 5 for Pisces, Rays 2 and 6. Okay, those are the constellational expressions <wrap hide>171|00:19:54|440|00:20:02|800</wrap>of the rays before we ever get to any planets. But then you look at the rulers, and for Aries, <wrap hide>172|00:20:02|800|00:20:10|700</wrap>Rays 6 and 4 are expressing through Mars and Mercury. When you look at Taurus, Ray 5 and 1 <wrap hide>173|00:20:10|700|00:20:16|700</wrap>are expressing through Venus and Vulcan. You know, I'm giving you these rays and planets in their <wrap hide>174|00:20:16|700|00:20:22|760</wrap>orthodox and then esoteric order. When it comes to Gemini, Ray 4 and 5 are expressing through Mercury <wrap hide>175|00:20:22|760|00:20:27|880</wrap>and Venus. When it comes to Cancer, Ray 4 and 6 are expressing through the Moon and Neptune. When it <wrap hide>176|00:20:27|880|00:20:35|840</wrap>comes to Leo, Ray 2 is expressing in both positions, but maybe the Sun is veiling Jupiter in the <wrap hide>177|00:20:35|840|00:20:41|280</wrap>orthodox position, Ray 2, and the Sun is veiling Neptune in the esoteric position, Ray 6. When it <wrap hide>178|00:20:41|280|00:20:51|560</wrap>comes to Virgo, we have Ray 4 and Ray 4 expressing respectively through Mercury and the Moon, <wrap hide>179|00:20:51|560|00:20:57|480</wrap>but the Moon veils both Vulcan and Neptune, so Ray 1 and 6 are veiled by the fourth ray Moon. <wrap hide>180|00:20:57|880|00:21:03|360</wrap>See, these are all rays that in a way can be said to be expressing through a particular sign, <wrap hide>181|00:21:03|360|00:21:11|360</wrap>either directly or via its planetary rulers. When it comes to Libra, we have Ray 5 and Ray 7 <wrap hide>182|00:21:11|360|00:21:18|520</wrap>expressing respectively through Venus and Uranus. When it comes to Scorpio, we have Ray 6 and Ray 6 <wrap hide>183|00:21:18|520|00:21:24|160</wrap>through Mars and Mars, or Ray 1 and Ray 1 through Pluto and Pluto. When it comes to Sagittarius, we <wrap hide>184|00:21:24|160|00:21:29|520</wrap>have Ray 2 and Ray 3 expressing through Jupiter and the Earth respectively. When it comes to <wrap hide>185|00:21:29|520|00:21:35|140</wrap>Capricorn, we have Ray 3 and Ray 3 expressing through Saturn, which is both the orthodox and <wrap hide>186|00:21:35|140|00:21:41|220</wrap>esoteric ruler. When it comes to Aquarius, we have Ray 7 and Ray 2 expressing respectively through <wrap hide>187|00:21:41|760|00:21:46|900</wrap>Uranus and Jupiter. When it comes to Pisces, we have Ray 2 and Ray 1 expressing through <wrap hide>188|00:21:46|900|00:21:53|320</wrap>Jupiter and Pluto, but remember that pervasive influence of Neptune. All these things <wrap hide>189|00:21:54|560|00:21:59|500</wrap>should be memorized, obviously. You know, I've been studying this stuff for a long time— <wrap hide>190|00:22:00|100|00:22:11|200</wrap>maybe astrology for 45, 46 years, yeah, something like that. So obviously, you know, the memorization, <wrap hide>191|00:22:11|200|00:22:16|780</wrap>when you use it that way, the memorization comes along. But, you know, although it may seem a little <wrap hide>192|00:22:16|780|00:22:23|300</wrap>tedious at first, memorize these things. Memorize the orthodox positions, and of course the new <wrap hide>193|00:22:23|300|00:22:28|500</wrap>positions should be memorized as well, and then you'll be able to use them with greater facility. <wrap hide>194|00:22:28|500|00:22:33|400</wrap>So we're dealing with the rays which primarily express themselves through a particular sign. <wrap quote>The <wrap hide>195|00:22:33|400|00:22:45|460</wrap>clue to which sign it may be is found in the orthodox planetary ruler, where the personality <wrap hide>196|00:22:45|460|00:22:53|840</wrap>ray is concerned and the esoteric planetary ruler where the soul is concerned.</wrap> Now, another <wrap hide>197|00:22:53|840|00:23:03|800</wrap>way of looking at this is we may be looking at the soul ray ruler, which... um, yeah, planetary ruler. <wrap hide>198|00:23:03|800|00:23:15|440</wrap>Yeah, so, you know, um, I think I've... I think I've given this basically. You know, let's say I'm a <wrap hide>199|00:23:15|440|00:23:22|940</wrap>uh, fourth ray personality, so I will look for that fourth ray which sign may be involved. Well, <wrap hide>200|00:23:23|540|00:23:32|900</wrap>that fourth ray will take me and my personality to Cancer, probably. It certainly could easily <wrap hide>201|00:23:32|900|00:23:43|960</wrap>take me to Virgo or to Gemini: Gemini, Virgo, Cancer. Gemini, Virgo ruled by fourth ray Mercury, and the <wrap hide>202|00:23:43|960|00:23:50|720</wrap>fourth ray, uh, Cancer ruled by the fourth ray Moon. Now, is it a particular sign which is most <wrap hide>203|00:23:50|720|00:23:58|820</wrap>important in relating to that particular fourth ray personality for me? Is it a particular sign <wrap hide>204|00:23:58|820|00:24:07|540</wrap>of those three which have fourth ray orthodox rulers? Well, I would have to ponder on this <wrap hide>205|00:24:07|540|00:24:15|480</wrap>and see, or are all three involved? Um, now, since I have Cancer rising anyway, Cancer is an important <wrap hide>206|00:24:15|480|00:24:21|080</wrap>sign, and since I believe I'm a secondary soul, then Gemini and Virgo, two secondary signs, are <wrap hide>207|00:24:21|080|00:24:28|800</wrap>important anyway. Now, let's say I'm a secondary soul and I'm born in Aries. Okay, um, I'm going to, <wrap hide>208|00:24:28|800|00:24:35|960</wrap>let's say, look at Leo for an esoteric ruler. I'm going to look at Aquarius. Leo and Aquarius are <wrap hide>209|00:24:35|960|00:24:41|960</wrap>going to be two important signs for me, and just what happens: in my conception chart and <wrap hide>210|00:24:41|960|00:24:50|100</wrap>animation chart, these are inner charts, one or the other is the rising sign for me. And then, in some <wrap hide>211|00:24:50|100|00:24:54|920</wrap>way, I'm going to attempt to relate to Mercury, which is the esoteric ruler to that particular <wrap hide>212|00:24:54|920|00:25:01|200</wrap>soul position. There are so many ways we can combine these energies, you know. When you're <wrap hide>213|00:25:01|840|00:25:08|500</wrap>your soul condition, you look at your soul ray, you look at your rising sign, you look at the <wrap hide>214|00:25:08|500|00:25:14|720</wrap>esoteric ruler of your rising sign. In my case, let's just say it's a soul ray two, Cancer rising, <wrap hide>215|00:25:14|720|00:25:21|120</wrap>esoteric ruler is Neptune. Those energies should be put together, but it is possible that some other <wrap hide>216|00:25:21|120|00:25:29|100</wrap>signs are expressing through the, um, the secondary soul in some way, expressing through the secondary <wrap hide>217|00:25:29|100|00:25:36|660</wrap>soul. And we could look at the Sun veiling Neptune in Leo, because the Sun is second ray, the Neptune <wrap hide>218|00:25:36|660|00:25:44|440</wrap>is sixth ray, but it is the, uh, the veiled esoteric ruler. And we can look at Jupiter conveying the <wrap hide>219|00:25:44|440|00:25:52|160</wrap>second ray esoterically Aquarius. So maybe, as sub-themes, these particular astrological <wrap hide>220|00:25:52|160|00:25:59|740</wrap>uh, signs of the zodiac are accompanying or qualifying or in some way influencing the <wrap hide>221|00:25:59|740|00:26:06|640</wrap>expression of the secondary soul in this particular, uh, incarnation. But all of this <wrap hide>222|00:26:06|640|00:26:13|400</wrap>will require that we ponder on it, you know. There's no way that we can penetrate with absoluteness <wrap hide>223|00:26:13|400|00:26:22|120</wrap>such a sentence as this. Various theories can be offered. Earlier, in a number of webinars ago, <wrap hide>224|00:26:22|120|00:26:28|360</wrap>I talked about taking your soul ray ruler, which is the sacred planet which conveys your soul ray, <wrap hide>225|00:26:28|360|00:26:35|580</wrap>and looking at the sign from which that soul ray ruler rules. In my case, it would be Aquarius. <wrap hide>226|00:26:35|580|00:26:40|680</wrap>Well, Aquarius is strong in my chart anyway, but perhaps there's a particular Aquarian theme coming <wrap hide>227|00:26:40|680|00:26:48|060</wrap>in via the second ray soul, because the soul ray ruler is related to a particular sign, in this case <wrap hide>228|00:26:48|060|00:26:58|820</wrap>Aquarius. We have such a great many energies to deal with, and, you know, we can fill the mind with <wrap hide>229|00:26:58|820|00:27:04|940</wrap>all possible correlations and links and so forth, but the question is: is it detectable, detectable <wrap hide>230|00:27:04|940|00:27:11|620</wrap>in life, and is it working out in some way that is noticeable in life? This is a very important issue, <wrap hide>231|00:27:12|140|00:27:22|000</wrap>and we can only ponder, we can only ponder on it. One thing we do know is that it is far <wrap hide>232|00:27:22|000|00:27:29|620</wrap>too simple to say that if you are born in a particular sign, the exoteric planetary ruler of <wrap hide>233|00:27:29|620|00:27:36|460</wrap>that sign and its ray tell you about your personality ray. It may be the case; it may not be the case. <wrap hide>234|00:27:37|060|00:27:42|560</wrap>And if you are, let's say, a disciple and you were born in a particular <wrap hide>235|00:27:42|560|00:27:48|800</wrap>sign, that the esoteric planetary ruler and its ray will tell you about your personality ray. Again, <wrap hide>236|00:27:48|800|00:27:54|540</wrap>I say personality ray; I don't say soul ray, because when I look at the horoscope, there are only <wrap hide>237|00:27:55|420|00:28:01|540</wrap>tentative speculations about how to determine the soul ray from a horoscope. I think most of what <wrap hide>238|00:28:01|540|00:28:07|940</wrap>I've seen is not convincing, you know. It's like an astrologer I knew who said, "Okay, if you're a <wrap hide>239|00:28:08|960|00:28:16|320</wrap>if you are a Scorpio rising person, you definitely, and you're a disciple, you definitely have a fourth <wrap hide>240|00:28:16|320|00:28:23|000</wrap>ray soul." No, that's, you know, that's absurd. It cannot be the case. There are so few fourth <wrap hide>241|00:28:23|000|00:28:28|560</wrap>ray souls in incarnation and so many Scorpio rising people at the moment, it just wouldn't be <wrap hide>242|00:28:28|560|00:28:34|060</wrap>possible. It's the same as saying if you've got Aries rising, you've got a first ray, you've got <wrap hide>243|00:28:34|060|00:28:39|240</wrap>a first ray soul, or maybe a seventh ray soul. What about all those other soul rays who are born with <wrap hide>244|00:28:39|240|00:28:46|720</wrap>Aries rising? It just doesn't make sense. So, you know, ponder on this. It is the master who often <wrap hide>245|00:28:46|720|00:28:52|920</wrap>seeks to produce perplexity in his student, and we are all students of Master D.K. And then, you know, <wrap hide>246|00:28:52|920|00:28:57|620</wrap>the obvious will dawn. And we've been looking at the sentence for many, many years, and then suddenly <wrap hide>247|00:28:57|620|00:29:10|180</wrap>the obvious will dawn. Well, all of you can have your crack at trying to decipher this. Let's just <wrap hide>248|00:29:10|180|00:29:18|780</wrap>say, you know, that one of the probably convincing possibilities is to look with respect to your <wrap hide>249|00:29:18|780|00:29:29|040</wrap>soul ray to the sign which the soul ray ruler rules esoterically. As I said before, <wrap hide>250|00:29:29|040|00:29:33|880</wrap>Jupiter is related to the second ray soul. It's the esoteric planet of the second ray, <wrap hide>251|00:29:33|880|00:29:41|400</wrap>and look to Aquarius where it is the ruler, and just see how that may be coming in <wrap hide>252|00:29:41|400|00:29:51|860</wrap>through your soul. Because after all, through a planet, many signs' lords of constellations do <wrap hide>253|00:29:51|860|00:29:57|860</wrap>channel their energy through Jupiter. Certainly the lord of Sagittarius and lord of Pisces is <wrap hide>254|00:29:57|860|00:30:06|100</wrap>channeling the energy, and maybe you will be most sensitive to that type of energy when Jupiter <wrap hide>255|00:30:06|580|00:30:12|700</wrap>is prominent in your chart or being accented in some particular way, or, you know, when it moves into <wrap hide>256|00:30:13|580|00:30:19|020</wrap>a particular angle or aspect of something of that nature. And you'll feel, "Oh, the Sagittarian <wrap hide>257|00:30:19|020|00:30:25|500</wrap>energy is coming through my Jupiter. This Pisces energy is coming through." But maybe as a disciple, <wrap hide>258|00:30:27|540|00:30:32|960</wrap>you know, who is responding more to the soul, you will feel Aquarian energy coming through <wrap hide>259|00:30:32|960|00:30:39|020</wrap>Jupiter. And maybe as an initiate, you will feel more Virgo energy since Jupiter is the <wrap hide>260|00:30:39|020|00:30:44|280</wrap>hierarchical ruler of Virgo. Maybe you'll feel more Virgo energy coming in, and it will be more <wrap hide>261|00:30:44|280|00:30:49|380</wrap>monadic and have more to do with the fulfillment of the Christ energy or something of that nature. <wrap hide>262|00:30:49|980|00:30:59|540</wrap>So intricate is this study. It is intricate and subtle, and as D.K. promised us, you know, "I'm telling <wrap hide>263|00:30:59|540|00:31:07|940</wrap>you about the ABCs," he said. Okay? And certainly when we begin to dig into some of the issues here, <wrap hide>264|00:31:07|940|00:31:13|660</wrap>we realize, yes, the ABCs are what are being revealed to us at the moment. And we—but it's <wrap hide>265|00:31:13|660|00:31:20|620</wrap>the seed of the new astrology, and we are required to think about it. We're asked to think about it <wrap hide>266|00:31:20|620|00:31:29|120</wrap>and to ponder and to ponder with the illumined mind on these things. Now, okay, um, D.K. is perhaps <wrap hide>267|00:31:30|540|00:31:37|080</wrap>getting ready to move on towards Pisces. We will see. Here he says, <wrap quote>"Before taking up these matters <wrap hide>268|00:31:37|080|00:31:43|900</wrap>in connection with Pisces, there are one or two points on which I would like to touch. I have to <wrap hide>269|00:31:43|900|00:31:49|880</wrap>take up certain problems as they may arise in the consciousness of the inquirers and the students <wrap hide>270|00:31:49|880|00:31:57|420</wrap>because it is impossible to handle them all at once in the introductory remarks."</wrap> He's a wise <wrap hide>271|00:31:57|420|00:32:02|420</wrap>teacher, Master D.K.—wiser than I am, that's for sure—because he says, <wrap quote>"The confusion would <wrap hide>272|00:32:03|310|00:32:10|460</wrap>then be well-nigh insuperable in the mind of the</wrap> inquirer." <wrap quote>And</wrap> hopefully, in this—in these sort of <wrap hide>273|00:32:10|460|00:32:16|680</wrap>webinar presentations, I have not created insuperable confusion in the mind of the <wrap hide>274|00:32:16|680|00:32:25|500</wrap>listeners. I hope not. What I'm trying to do is kind of download the many relations I've thought <wrap hide>275|00:32:25|500|00:32:30|060</wrap>about in relation to astrology over many years. And of course, I don't really know what I'm going <wrap hide>276|00:32:30|060|00:32:37|720</wrap>to say next, um, I don't know what will come to mind—perhaps many old thoughts, perhaps some new <wrap hide>277|00:32:37|720|00:32:42|640</wrap>connections, perhaps even an intuition here or there. Could happen. Hopefully the confusion is <wrap hide>278|00:32:44|520|00:32:52|420</wrap>not insuperable. <wrap quote>"Little by little we will deal with the various debatable points,</wrap> and <wrap quote>if you will have <wrap hide>279|00:32:52|420|00:32:58|780</wrap>patience and hold back partisan conclusions"</wrap>—because after all, there are many convinced <wrap hide>280|00:32:58|780|00:33:06|040</wrap>orthodox astrologers who just know astrology is thus and so, and it would disrupt their world view <wrap hide>281|00:33:06|040|00:33:15|200</wrap>to consider it any other way. So he's asking a patience and testing of his proposals in a <wrap hide>282|00:33:15|200|00:33:20|960</wrap>fifth-ray scientific manner. "If you will have patience and hold back the partisan conclusions, <wrap hide>283|00:33:20|960|00:33:26|200</wrap>the picture of the new astrology will begin to emerge more clearly in your mind." I must say it's <wrap hide>284|00:33:26|200|00:33:32|180</wrap>been true for me. When I first began to read esoteric astrology, it was a wide gulf between <wrap hide>285|00:33:32|180|00:33:39|360</wrap>the reading of that book and the astrology that I thought I knew, um, although fortunately not too <wrap hide>286|00:33:39|360|00:33:46|060</wrap>many years had elapsed between my studying astrology seriously—I suppose since 1965— <wrap hide>287|00:33:46|640|00:33:57|520</wrap>and running into esoteric astrology as a book in the late 60s and beginning to study it seriously. <wrap hide>288|00:33:57|520|00:34:02|240</wrap>in the early 70s and so forth, so not too many years had elapsed and still there was a lot of <wrap hide>289|00:34:02|240|00:34:10|120</wrap>debris in my mind, a lot of formulations which were fairly concrete in which I believed <wrap hide>290|00:34:10|120|00:34:16|960</wrap>fairly strongly and which had to be destroyed or dissolved or somehow reinterpreted. So <wrap quote>the picture <wrap hide>291|00:34:16|960|00:34:22|120</wrap>of the new astrology will begin to emerge more clearly in your minds. At present, the readjustment <wrap hide>292|00:34:23|300|00:34:29|980</wrap>of your ideas will lead to inevitable temporary bewilderment</wrap>—lost in the forest. <wrap hide>293|00:34:30|540|00:34:41|780</wrap>Um, but you know, many of you who have the temerity to download these webinars have studied esoteric <wrap hide>294|00:34:41|780|00:34:48|000</wrap>astrology from the Tibetan for a fairly long time, and so perhaps your bewilderment will be less, and <wrap hide>295|00:34:48|000|00:34:57|600</wrap>perhaps as we go through this treatise in what I hope is a very careful word-for-word, paragraph by <wrap hide>296|00:34:57|600|00:35:03|820</wrap>paragraph manner, finding our associations, new thoughts about it will dawn, new insights will <wrap hide>297|00:35:03|820|00:35:13|380</wrap>dawn, and we will be doing our part to prepare for the new dispensation of esoteric astrology <wrap hide>298|00:35:13|380|00:35:24|140</wrap>in 2025 and following. Uh, if I can just speak to that for just a moment, the year is 2025, <wrap hide>299|00:35:24|140|00:35:35|900</wrap>and um, how many... yes, here it is. I can, however... page 589... um, <wrap hide>300|00:35:39|340|00:35:43|660</wrap>"I can, however, attempt to give you certain concepts, relationships and parallels <wrap hide>301|00:35:43|660|00:35:51|200</wrap>which may serve to close this section on astrology and lay the foundation for future <wrap hide>302|00:35:51|200|00:36:01|400</wrap>teaching around the year 2025. That is the mode whereby all revelation comes: a thought is given, <wrap hide>303|00:36:01|400|00:36:05|800</wrap>the symbol described, an idea portrayed. Then, as the minds of men ponder upon it and the <wrap hide>304|00:36:05|800|00:36:10|300</wrap>intuitives of the world pick up the thought, it serves as a needed seed thought which eventually <wrap hide>305|00:36:10|300|00:36:16|300</wrap>comes to fruition with the presentation and unfolding of revelation which serves to lead <wrap hide>306|00:36:16|300|00:36:26|800</wrap>the race of men near the goal." Future teaching around 2025. Now I'm also going to... um, try here: 2025 <wrap hide>307|00:36:28|040|00:36:39|260</wrap>astrology. Oh, there's only one—that's the only one. Uh, uh, yet let's see about that one. <wrap hide>308|00:36:40|140|00:36:51|980</wrap>Um, "next four decades until 2025." Okay, yeah, that's the one: "to lay a foundation for future teaching <wrap hide>309|00:36:53|400|00:37:01|200</wrap>around the year 2025." And this, you know, presumably is teaching on astrology because we're dealing <wrap hide>310|00:37:01|200|00:37:08|900</wrap>with astrology to lay a foundation. So I believe that astrology will be one of the first things to <wrap hide>311|00:37:08|900|00:37:17|340</wrap>come forth in Master D.K.'s new dispensation. Um, you know, what can we do about that? I mean, you know, some <wrap hide>312|00:37:17|340|00:37:24|840</wrap>of us will be around, some may not. We can prepare. How do we prepare? We prepare through <wrap hide>313|00:37:24|840|00:37:30|280</wrap>assimilation. We've been given so much—it's extraordinary. You know, the farther you go, the <wrap hide>314|00:37:30|280|00:37:37|280</wrap>more you realize how much you've been given. It's staggering, and, uh, our assimilative abilities are <wrap hide>315|00:37:37|280|00:37:44|040</wrap>relatively small. But what do we do? We exercise them and bring them into our consciousness and <wrap hide>316|00:37:44|040|00:37:53|120</wrap>attempt to apply them—apply what we assimilate—and, uh, reinterpret the world in terms <wrap hide>317|00:37:53|120|00:38:01|120</wrap>of the new astrological and race science which we make our own, part of our own mind and consciousness, <wrap hide>318|00:38:01|120|00:38:08|800</wrap>and do this assiduously until the year 2025 and maybe beyond, because even if things start in 2025, <wrap hide>319|00:38:08|800|00:38:13|760</wrap>it'll be a while before those books or presentations, in whatever form they are, <wrap hide>320|00:38:13|760|00:38:20|780</wrap>make their way, uh, into the world. You know, the teaching is to go forth over the radio. Well, okay, <wrap hide>321|00:38:20|780|00:38:27|400</wrap>I consider these webinars to be radio. Uh, you know, radio is a symbol for mass communications. <wrap hide>322|00:38:27|400|00:38:34|260</wrap>But what I'm trying to do is promote assimilation, to promote intelligent speculation. I'm not <wrap hide>323|00:38:34|260|00:38:40|420</wrap>pretending that what I'm giving is the new astrology. I'm just... Master D.K. gave us something, <wrap hide>324|00:38:41|240|00:38:46|640</wrap>and I'm trying to understand it and work with you so that you can understand it more deeply as well. <wrap hide>325|00:38:46|640|00:38:54|580</wrap>And I'm ready to be surprised by what he himself will bring forth in the year 2025—around the year <wrap hide>326|00:38:54|580|00:39:04|500</wrap>2025—and it, I'm sure, it will be additional to what has been given thus far. There are some <wrap hide>327|00:39:04|500|00:39:09|220</wrap>few unpublished writings which are now out there, and they have to do with the point opposite the <wrap hide>328|00:39:09|220|00:39:18|420</wrap>sun sign as the monadic point, and they have to do with some meditations which he gave but didn't <wrap hide>329|00:39:18|420|00:39:24|780</wrap>fully give, and so forth. But that's not what I expect the new astrology to be—that's part of it, <wrap hide>330|00:39:24|780|00:39:32|360</wrap>that's part of it, only a little part of it. Our task is not to project about what he will say <wrap hide>331|00:39:32|360|00:39:42|620</wrap>when he says it. Our task is to assimilate, absorb, apply, integrate what already has been given. <wrap hide>332|00:39:43|180|00:39:50|060</wrap>That takes a lot of work, doesn't it? A lot of work. And we have to... by our experience, we choose how <wrap hide>333|00:39:50|060|00:39:59|080</wrap>we spend our time. You know, I feel a great urgency in trying to tackle some of these books. By that, I <wrap hide>334|00:39:59|080|00:40:04|140</wrap>mean just share my understanding of them in a fairly spontaneous manner. I've spent many years <wrap hide>335|00:40:04|140|00:40:10|940</wrap>writing books with exact thought, you know, as much exactitude of thought as I could <wrap hide>336|00:40:11|460|00:40:17|760</wrap>manage. But it's a slow process, and time being what it is or isn't, I feel it's best to <wrap hide>337|00:40:18|600|00:40:23|640</wrap>try to reach you with what spontaneously comes to mind. There are other books that I would like <wrap hide>338|00:40:23|640|00:40:28|540</wrap>to talk through as well. There are sections in the Raves and Initiations which I would like to speak <wrap hide>339|00:40:28|540|00:40:33|980</wrap>about, sections from the Old Commentary I'd like to write about, or rather, you know, talk about. <wrap hide>340|00:40:33|980|00:40:41|300</wrap>You know, Mercury on the Midheaven—that's how it is in Aries—and I've done a lot in Cosmic Fire <wrap hide>341|00:40:41|300|00:40:47|220</wrap>so far, but that's more in exactitude, exactitude of thought. Maybe there's another hundred pages which <wrap hide>342|00:40:47|220|00:40:52|680</wrap>need that exactitude of thought treatment, the written treatment. Let's see if we can get through <wrap hide>343|00:40:52|680|00:40:59|360</wrap>astrology. Probably be, you know, some three or three hundred and fifty, three hundred and fifty of these <wrap hide>344|00:40:59|360|00:41:04|800</wrap>one-hour programs. Who will have the endurance to live through that, especially with a talkative <wrap hide>345|00:41:04|800|00:41:13|720</wrap>teacher? I don't know, but all right, we'll see. <wrap quote>One of the questions which normally arises might be <wrap hide>346|00:41:13|720|00:41:18|960</wrap>expressed as follows and was so expressed by an interested astrological student,</wrap> probably one of <wrap hide>347|00:41:18|960|00:41:25|280</wrap>the people in the Arcane School, you know, something like that. He was closely related to Dane Rudhyar, <wrap hide>348|00:41:25|280|00:41:30|200</wrap>very, you know, wonderful astrologer and friend of Alice Bailey and a true world disciple and <wrap hide>349|00:41:30|200|00:41:35|140</wrap>therefore an initiate of the third degree, as far as I can see. <wrap quote>It involved the following inquiry: <wrap hide>350|00:41:36|800|00:41:43|120</wrap>"Granted the inevitability of a man eventually reversing the mode of his passage through the <wrap hide>351|00:41:43|120|00:41:49|620</wrap>12 signs, at what time in and what sign does the sun reverse?"</wrap> Whoop! Oh, the sun doesn't reverse, does <wrap hide>352|00:41:49|620|00:41:56|120</wrap>it? So this is going to betray some sort of misunderstanding. The sun does not reverse at all. <wrap hide>353|00:41:56|120|00:42:03|420</wrap>The sun can be found in any sign. It's just how you respond to it, isn't it? <wrap quote>"At what point in the <wrap hide>354|00:42:03|420|00:42:10|240</wrap>swing of the zodiac can this reversal in the sun itself be seen taking place?"</wrap> So, you know, it's a <wrap hide>355|00:42:10|240|00:42:18|420</wrap>very literal type of question, isn't it? And it's non-astronomical, very literal and non-astronomical, <wrap hide>356|00:42:19|060|00:42:25|980</wrap>isn't it? Well, D.K. says, <wrap quote>"Unless you have some grasp of the nature of the great illusion of the <wrap hide>357|00:42:26|820|00:42:33|120</wrap>constitution of the sun"</wrap>—because the sun is so much more than it appears to be, and we hardly know, in a <wrap hide>358|00:42:33|120|00:42:41|460</wrap>way, even what it is externally. There are types of states of matter in the sun which we have <wrap hide>359|00:42:41|460|00:42:47|240</wrap>not yet recognized—<wrap quote>"it will be hard for you to understand the significance of my reply. <wrap hide>360|00:42:47|740|00:42:54|400</wrap>The sun to which you are referring is the physical sun and its apparent path in the heavens."</wrap> What is <wrap hide>361|00:42:54|400|00:43:03|940</wrap>the apparent path? The apparent path is the zodiac. It's the zodiac, and there is—we know it's an <wrap hide>362|00:43:03|940|00:43:10|820</wrap>illusory path because it's the earth; it's revolving around the sun, and it's just a seeming that occurs. <wrap hide>363|00:43:11|380|00:43:19|800</wrap>"This appearance will not outwardly change." The appearance of the sun against certain constellations <wrap hide>364|00:43:20|500|00:43:27|520</wrap>and against different sections of the earth's orbit will not outwardly change. Here is the <wrap hide>365|00:43:27|520|00:43:32|200</wrap>statement of importance: "The real sun under <wrap quote>which our planetary life will eventually function <wrap hide>366|00:43:32|900|00:43:39|560</wrap>and to</wrap> which response will be made is the heart of the sun." The heart of the sun—okay, this is the <wrap hide>367|00:43:39|560|00:43:44|640</wrap>second level of the sun. The second level rulership of Leo tells us something about it, because it is <wrap hide>368|00:43:44|640|00:43:52|820</wrap>the sun veiling Neptune, and Neptune is associated with the heart of the sun and is the repository of <wrap hide>369|00:43:52|820|00:44:00|360</wrap>the solar flames. Neptune is a great second ray monadic planet. Heart of the sun is analogous to <wrap hide>370|00:44:00|360|00:44:07|000</wrap>our own soul nature on the higher mental plane, and the true heart of the sun, which most of the <wrap hide>371|00:44:07|900|00:44:13|500</wrap>definitions and references point to, is the soul nature of the Solar Logos found on the higher <wrap hide>372|00:44:13|500|00:44:20|980</wrap>mental plane—his own egoic lotus and his own consciousness, that consciousness of the divine <wrap hide>373|00:44:20|980|00:44:28|500</wrap>sun of love in our solar system with its second ray soul. So the heart of the sun is what we have <wrap hide>374|00:44:28|500|00:44:35|180</wrap>to learn to respond to, and just the way we have to learn how to respond to the soul. The <wrap hide>375|00:44:35|180|00:44:43|460</wrap>physical sun has a very important effect upon the etheric physical vehicle and upon the entire solar <wrap hide>376|00:44:43|460|00:44:55|240</wrap>system, which is cosmically etheric and physical, but it is not the major focus of the occultist's <wrap hide>377|00:44:56|780|00:45:03|920</wrap>response or cultivated response. <wrap quote>When that is controlling</wrap> the heart of the sun, <wrap quote>the spiritual <wrap hide>378|00:45:03|920|00:45:10|800</wrap>man will then live a dual life simultaneously, which is ever the problem of the man who is <wrap hide>379|00:45:10|800|00:45:17|500</wrap>illumined by the soul as well</wrap> as by the light of day. The Scorpio type of light is called the <wrap hide>380|00:45:17|500|00:45:27|180</wrap>light of day, but in this particular... excuse me, talking too fast. Okay, in this particular case, <wrap hide>381|00:45:27|180|00:45:32|700</wrap>the light of day seems to be a more external type of light. It doesn't mean the light of the buddhic <wrap hide>382|00:45:32|700|00:45:37|720</wrap>plane as it should mean in relation to Scorpio, when all illusion is overcome and the height is <wrap hide>383|00:45:37|720|00:45:42|740</wrap>lifted high into the buddhic light of day. On the other hand, the Scorpio person has to take all <wrap hide>384|00:45:42|740|00:45:49|140</wrap>problems and work them out right here on the systemic physical plane, which in another way can <wrap hide>385|00:45:49|140|00:45:54|820</wrap>be considered the light of day. So we have to learn how to be in this world and yet not of it, to live <wrap hide>386|00:45:54|820|00:46:01|360</wrap>the dual life of discipleship, to live simultaneously through the lower and higher pairs of opposites, to <wrap hide>387|00:46:01|360|00:46:08|240</wrap>live the personality life and the soul life. It's a Geminian problem. It's also a problem undertaken <wrap hide>388|00:46:08|240|00:46:16|840</wrap>in Virgo, where there is a fusion of these two types of man: the higher ego is man, <wrap hide>389|00:46:16|840|00:46:22|600</wrap>and the personality is man. Okay, so when the heart of the sun is controlling, the spiritual man <wrap hide>390|00:46:23|120|00:46:28|040</wrap>will then live a dual life simultaneously. The true spiritual man is the monad—the monad in extension, <wrap hide>391|00:46:28|040|00:46:35|740</wrap>the monad in any state of immersion. So, you know, most people are living quite a unitary, <wrap hide>392|00:46:35|740|00:46:43|300</wrap>a single life within their personality, and which they consider to be kind of an unalterable unit, <wrap hide>393|00:46:43|300|00:46:52|220</wrap>and they don't have the experience of communicating with that inner and higher self. So we, on the other <wrap hide>394|00:46:52|220|00:46:58|500</wrap>hand, as disciples, have to be illumined by that which the soul knows, by that which we are as a <wrap hide>395|00:46:58|500|00:47:04|700</wrap>soul, and also by that which we are as a personality in the light of day on the outer planes in our <wrap hide>396|00:47:04|700|00:47:10|540</wrap>objective life. And this dual life, says the Tibetan, will consist of our apparent experience <wrap hide>397|00:47:10|540|00:47:24|480</wrap>in situations. Notice he hints at the illusion here—D.K. hints at the illusory nature of our <wrap hide>398|00:47:25|420|00:47:36|780</wrap>experience within the lower three worlds—and our inner spiritual soul awareness, <wrap hide>399|00:47:36|780|00:47:41|700</wrap>which we are all attempting to cultivate, especially through meditation, through deep <wrap hide>400|00:47:41|700|00:47:49|480</wrap>study, and through the sense of the presence of the soul which occurs when service is truly given <wrap hide>401|00:47:49|480|00:47:56|720</wrap>in the spontaneous spiritual sense. The personality will still respond to the influences coming to it <wrap hide>402|00:47:56|720|00:48:02|780</wrap>from the physical sun, because in a way the physical sun is very active with respect to <wrap hide>403|00:48:02|780|00:48:08|920</wrap>entire solar system. And where is that solar system found? On the cosmic ethers and the cosmic <wrap hide>404|00:48:09|780|00:48:15|220</wrap>dense physical body of the solar Logos. So certainly the personality, which exists within <wrap hide>405|00:48:15|220|00:48:22|260</wrap>the dense physical body of the solar Logos, will respond to the physical sun. But the motivated life <wrap hide>406|00:48:22|260|00:48:26|980</wrap>activity and the subjective experience of the inner man will be conditioned by energies coming <wrap hide>407|00:48:26|980|00:48:34|120</wrap>to him from the heart of the sun—i.e., from the higher cosmic mental plane. And one wonders, you <wrap hide>408|00:48:34|120|00:48:45|060</wrap>know, let's just say the Buddha—that's Buddha—the Buddha had a cosmic mental touch, as we are <wrap hide>409|00:48:45|060|00:48:51|100</wrap>told, touching the cosmic mental plane. Did he touch the solar angelic realm of that greater <wrap hide>410|00:48:51|100|00:48:56|100</wrap>solar angel which is the solar angel for the solar Logos? Did he touch the higher cosmic mental plane? <wrap hide>411|00:48:56|100|00:49:01|940</wrap>This is not given, but he did touch the cosmic mental plane at some point. That is the heart <wrap hide>412|00:49:01|940|00:49:06|540</wrap>of the sun. There's also something called occasionally the subjective sun. It has something <wrap hide>413|00:49:06|540|00:49:14|600</wrap>to do with the astral nature, the astral body on the cosmic mental plane—cosmic astral plane, <wrap hide>414|00:49:14|600|00:49:20|040</wrap>excuse me—the cosmic astral plane of our solar Logos, sometimes called the subjective sun. Though <wrap hide>415|00:49:20|040|00:49:25|620</wrap>sometimes the term "subjective sun" does refer to the heart of the sun. We have to follow D.K.'s <wrap hide>416|00:49:25|620|00:49:31|940</wrap>terminology very carefully, because, you know, it changes around, and you have to study the context <wrap hide>417|00:49:31|940|00:49:42|400</wrap>to see what he's really talking about. Okay, so the subjective experience of the inner man—and that <wrap hide>418|00:49:42|400|00:49:46|380</wrap>doesn't mean just the psychological experience, because that's personal—we're talking about that <wrap hide>419|00:49:46|380|00:49:52|880</wrap>which occurs on our higher mental plane, our systemic higher mental plane and beyond. The <wrap hide>420|00:49:52|880|00:49:56|800</wrap>subjective experience of the inner man will be conditioned by energies coming to him from the <wrap hide>421|00:49:56|800|00:50:03|140</wrap>heart of the sun, which will affect his soul nature. I would here recall to your minds the <wrap hide>422|00:50:03|140|00:50:09|740</wrap>teaching of the ageless wisdom as given in The Secret Doctrine—a wonderful book which should be <wrap hide>423|00:50:09|740|00:50:17|820</wrap>used for more than opening doors. You know, opening doors, keeping them open—heavy books are good for <wrap hide>424|00:50:17|820|00:50:25|460</wrap>doors open. Well, anyway, The Secret Doctrine should be read and not just allowed to sit on <wrap hide>425|00:50:25|460|00:50:30|420</wrap>a shelf one day, it could fall off and hit us on the head. Well, that might not be a bad thing. <wrap hide>426|00:50:30|900|00:50:34|940</wrap>I would here recall to your minds the teaching of the Ageless Wisdom <wrap quote>as given in The Secret Doctrine <wrap hide>427|00:50:34|940|00:50:43|400</wrap>and elaborated by me in my later books, that the sun has to be discovered and known in its triple <wrap hide>428|00:50:43|400|00:50:52|660</wrap>nature, which is threefold as is the Trinity.</wrap> So this is the triple sun of astrology, um, <wrap hide>429|00:50:53|500|00:50:59|620</wrap>that term kind of emphasized by a number of astrologers, including Steven Pew. As I said, a very <wrap hide>430|00:50:59|620|00:51:05|820</wrap>insightful and pioneering astrologer, uh, the triple sun meaning the personality nature <wrap hide>431|00:51:06|440|00:51:13|020</wrap>represented by the position of the sun in your horoscope, the soul nature represented, uh, or <wrap hide>432|00:51:13|020|00:51:20|360</wrap>indicated at least by the ascendant in your horoscope, and the monadic, uh, sun which is <wrap hide>433|00:51:20|360|00:51:26|480</wrap>related to the point opposite the sun sign in your horoscope. That whole relationship between <wrap hide>434|00:51:27|070|00:51:34|360</wrap>your sun sign and the opposite point is like an anticorona with the sun, the actual <wrap hide>435|00:51:34|360|00:51:39|060</wrap>sun in the sky being at the bottom of the anticorona within the personality, and the highest <wrap hide>436|00:51:39|060|00:51:47|440</wrap>point or the monadic point indicated by the point opposite the sun. But in a way, <wrap hide>437|00:51:48|100|00:51:54|680</wrap>your personality, your soul, your monad, they are all suns, and that's another way to look at the <wrap hide>438|00:51:54|680|00:52:03|000</wrap>triple sun in your horoscope. The triple sun, and we have to, uh, devise a triangular <wrap hide>439|00:52:03|000|00:52:07|720</wrap>relationship between all of them. A lot can be learned for the advanced individual when he looks <wrap hide>440|00:52:07|720|00:52:12|420</wrap>at the relationship between the sun sign, his ascendant, and the point opposite the sun. That <wrap hide>441|00:52:12|420|00:52:20|740</wrap>will in most cases produce a kind of triangle. And even if two of the factors are the same, even if <wrap hide>442|00:52:20|740|00:52:26|220</wrap>three of the factors are the same... Say you're born with the sun and... Well, three of the factors can't <wrap hide>443|00:52:26|220|00:52:30|940</wrap>be the same because there's always going to be a point opposite your sun sign. But two of the factors <wrap hide>444|00:52:30|940|00:52:38|760</wrap>can be the same. For instance, your rising sign can be the same as the point opposite the <wrap hide>445|00:52:38|760|00:52:46|540</wrap>sun sign. But we will just create a triangle by interpreting these points at different levels of <wrap hide>446|00:52:46|540|00:52:54|820</wrap>expression and in relation to different dimensions. Okay, so work with that particular triangle, <wrap hide>447|00:52:55|540|00:53:01|460</wrap>and that is the trinity in every individual horoscope, and it is foundational. It is <wrap hide>448|00:53:01|460|00:53:05|980</wrap>fundamental. It is the thing which we should always have in mind. You know, there are many, <wrap hide>449|00:53:05|980|00:53:11|000</wrap>many details in astrology. They are quite amazing, quite interesting. You can get lost in them. But <wrap hide>450|00:53:11|000|00:53:17|440</wrap>we should use astrology as a firm spiritual guide to tell us how to integrate and master <wrap hide>451|00:53:17|440|00:53:22|160</wrap>our personality, how to express our soul in a particular incarnation, and if we are sufficiently <wrap hide>452|00:53:22|160|00:53:28|720</wrap>advanced, how to bring the spirit into expression in a particular incarnation via particular sign <wrap hide>453|00:53:28|720|00:53:36|040</wrap>and planet and house position. We can know our soul ray ruler. Say if your secondary soul is Jupiter, <wrap hide>454|00:53:36|040|00:53:46|260</wrap>let us say. But do we know our monadic ray ruler? That is the question. So, you know, most of us are <wrap hide>455|00:53:46|260|00:53:52|140</wrap>third or second ray monads. Maybe there are a few first ray monads. So basically, either Jupiter or <wrap hide>456|00:53:52|140|00:54:03|440</wrap>Saturn is the monadic ray ruler, and for most people in these groups... Oh, that gets complicated. I don't want to get into that too much because it seems that we have two monadic rays. <wrap hide>457|00:54:04|380|00:54:08|720</wrap>The first sub-level can be any one of the seven monadic rays, and the final monadic ray <wrap hide>458|00:54:08|720|00:54:14|380</wrap>has to be one, two, or three. It seems to be the case, but we will know more about that <wrap hide>459|00:54:15|140|00:54:22|920</wrap>as time unfolds. <wrap quote>The tabulation below may serve to make this idea somewhat</wrap> clear. So the physical sun <wrap hide>460|00:54:23|840|00:54:29|780</wrap>is related to the mutable cross, and it influences the mutable cross. The sun sign indicating the <wrap hide>461|00:54:29|780|00:54:34|360</wrap>personality indicates the mutable cross. Maybe I can make... If I just make these a little <wrap hide>462|00:54:35|620|00:54:41|060</wrap>smaller, there's a possibility that it may look more like a tabulation. In the last analysis, yes, <wrap hide>463|00:54:41|060|00:54:50|220</wrap>it kind of does. So the physical sun represents the form and the personality, and it influences <wrap hide>464|00:54:50|220|00:54:55|880</wrap>the mutable cross. So for so many years, many, many years, you have to study your sun sign above all <wrap hide>465|00:54:55|880|00:55:02|020</wrap>to find out who you are, because the rising sign will only give physical and personal indications. <wrap hide>466|00:55:02|020|00:55:08|740</wrap>Now let's be, you know, let's be astute about this. The rising sign is effective even in the <wrap hide>467|00:55:08|740|00:55:13|520</wrap>non-spiritual person, and it does have a definite connection with your physical body and with your <wrap hide>468|00:55:13|520|00:55:20|860</wrap>health and with your personality. There are many people studying astrology who think that the <wrap hide>469|00:55:20|860|00:55:25|720</wrap>sun sign is the real thing and the rising sign is just a mask. That was one of the ideas of which I <wrap hide>470|00:55:25|720|00:55:32|440</wrap>had to disabuse myself when I first started studying astrology. You know, it's not really true. <wrap hide>471|00:55:34|020|00:55:42|280</wrap>But it is very physical in a certain respect and very personal, so even the personal, even <wrap hide>472|00:55:42|280|00:55:48|720</wrap>the spiritual points can be interpreted in a personal way, and even the sacred planets <wrap hide>473|00:55:50|000|00:55:55|280</wrap>have... the sacred planets have personal and non-sacred meanings because the energy will <wrap hide>474|00:55:55|280|00:55:59|840</wrap>be adapted to the kind of form through which you are expressing. The heart of the sun represents <wrap hide>475|00:55:59|840|00:56:05|980</wrap>soul consciousness, and it influences the fixed cross. The soul influences the fixed cross, <wrap hide>476|00:56:06|880|00:56:13|240</wrap>and the heart of the sun energy pouring through the ego on the higher mental plane will <wrap hide>477|00:56:13|840|00:56:20|120</wrap>influence the soul in incarnation and make it stronger and stronger and help it dis-identify <wrap hide>478|00:56:20|800|00:56:28|320</wrap>from the circumstantial entanglements in the lower three worlds. As far as the central spiritual sun <wrap hide>479|00:56:28|880|00:56:38|140</wrap>goes, it is representing the life or being or will, and the central spiritual sun is your monad, really. <wrap hide>480|00:56:38|140|00:56:43|920</wrap>Well, actually that's your microcosmic central spiritual sun. The macrocosmic central spiritual <wrap hide>481|00:56:43|920|00:56:50|900</wrap>sun in relation to our solar system is the monadic nature of our solar Logos, and it is <wrap hide>482|00:56:50|900|00:56:57|120</wrap>found to be influencing upon the cardinal cross when we have jettisoned so many of the different <wrap hide>483|00:56:57|120|00:57:02|620</wrap>stages of involvement and find ourselves at the sixth initiation as a liberated monad. <wrap hide>484|00:57:03|460|00:57:11|440</wrap>That's a ways ahead for all of us, I'm sure. So this is the triple sun, and <wrap hide>485|00:57:12|260|00:57:17|600</wrap>right now most of us are trying to establish ourselves in causal consciousness and soul <wrap hide>486|00:57:17|600|00:57:23|300</wrap>consciousness, unitive consciousness, a consciousness which is not selfish but has <wrap hide>487|00:57:23|300|00:57:28|340</wrap>the element of love expressed through one of seven rays and is working in response to the <wrap hide>488|00:57:28|340|00:57:36|300</wrap>divine plan and attempting to intuit somewhat of the divine purpose. All right, yes, we are at <wrap hide>489|00:57:36|300|00:57:44|760</wrap>that point. Okay, so this is the end of... oh, are we going to go through this with the... okay, looks like <wrap hide>490|00:57:44|760|00:57:49|520</wrap>we're going to go through this again. Yes, the disappearing screen. It seems to be saying, "Oh, <wrap hide>491|00:57:49|520|00:57:56|880</wrap>the computer is too clogged and please start me again and clean me out." I've cleaned it out, but <wrap hide>492|00:57:57|740|00:58:05|960</wrap>it seems to want to pull a blank on me here, which is, you know, unfortunate because it takes up a <wrap hide>493|00:58:05|960|00:58:17|300</wrap>little bit of time. But then, what is time anyway? They say time is of the essence. Time is creation. <wrap hide>494|00:58:19|200|00:58:30|100</wrap>Is time then and form agree? Being and time do not agree. So creation descends to manifest. <wrap hide>495|00:58:32|260|00:58:37|840</wrap>Being descends to manifest. Creation is time then and form agree. Being in time do not agree. <wrap hide>496|00:58:38|740|00:58:43|440</wrap>We have to master time. It seems to be much more difficult than to master space. I think the <wrap hide>497|00:58:43|440|00:58:51|380</wrap>mastery of space is kind of a first project. Interestingly though, space is more connected <wrap hide>498|00:58:51|380|00:58:57|760</wrap>with second-ray Jupiter in time with third-ray Saturn, but also with first-ray Saturn from a <wrap hide>499|00:58:57|760|00:59:04|140</wrap>certain perspective. Well, obviously I'm stalling for time here while my computer runs through its <wrap hide>500|00:59:04|140|00:59:13|100</wrap>antics, philosophical on the spur of the moment. So this is the end of Esoteric Astrology Adventure 50... <wrap hide>501|00:59:13|440|00:59:24|140</wrap>one, and how far have we gotten? We started on page 110 or so, and oh goodness, we made it to page 111. <wrap hide>502|00:59:24|140|00:59:32|900</wrap>That's because I conducted a little bit of a review there: 110, which was reviewed, to 111, and <wrap hide>503|00:59:32|900|00:59:43|520</wrap>we're quite close, I think, to 112, going at the rate of approximately two pages per webinar. <wrap hide>504|00:59:44|740|00:59:54|100</wrap>Yes, we're almost there at 112. Okay, good. So let us then... let us do The Great Invocation together, <wrap hide>505|00:59:54|100|01:00:05|140</wrap>and from the point of light within... right, let us do that. <wrap hide>506|01:00:11|780|01:00:12|580</wrap>Oh. <wrap hide>507|01:00:21|180|01:00:25|060</wrap>From the point of light within the mind of God, <wrap hide>508|01:00:25|060|01:00:31|280</wrap>let light stream forth into the minds of men. Let light descend on Earth. <wrap hide>509|01:00:34|380|01:00:40|080</wrap>From the point of love within the heart of God, let love stream forth into the hearts of men. <wrap hide>510|01:00:40|080|01:00:49|380</wrap>May Christ return to Earth. From the center where the will of God is known, let purpose <wrap hide>511|01:00:49|380|01:00:55|220</wrap>guide the little wills of men, the purpose which the masters know and serve. <wrap hide>512|01:00:59|480|01:01:04|280</wrap>From the center which we call the race of men, let the plan of love and light <wrap hide>513|01:01:05|040|01:01:08|820</wrap>work out, and may it seal the door where evil dwells. <wrap hide>514|01:01:13|380|01:01:18|740</wrap>Let light and love and power restore the plan on Earth. <wrap hide>515|01:01:30|860|01:01:32|260</wrap>Oh. <wrap hide>516|01:01:38|980|01:01:40|380</wrap>Oh. <wrap hide>517|01:01:58|360|01:02:07|500</wrap>So... excuse me, that was a strong one. Sorry. All right, um, that's it, friends. We will <wrap hide>518|01:02:08|480|01:02:13|780</wrap>resume with Esoteric Astrology Adventure number 52. We're almost finished with the <wrap hide>519|01:02:14|420|01:02:20|760</wrap>sign Aries, but there is a... it's a long chapter because he's setting us up for the study <wrap hide>520|01:02:20|760|01:02:28|260</wrap>of the other chapters. All right, so farewell for now, and we'll see you soon. <wrap hide>521|01:02:29|720|01:02:30|220</wrap>Bye-bye.
