1|00:00:05|120|00:00:13|200Hi everybody, this is Esoteric Astrology Adventure number 34. 2|00:00:13|960|00:00:20|720We had a little mishap on the last adventure. I was cut short because the local area server 3|00:00:20|720|00:00:31|160suddenly went down, but as I had done 50 (5-0) minutes of the webinar, I decided to retain 4|00:00:31|160|00:00:39|300it, even though truncated, and to proceed from where we had come. 5|00:00:40|240|00:00:45|240We are on page 77. It may seem like we've made a lot of progress, but there were several 6|00:00:45|240|00:00:48|660pages in there; there were simply blank pages in the book. 7|00:00:49|520|00:00:57|960We've been talking about triangles, the science of triangles, and we've been looking at three 8|00:00:57|960|00:00:59|360groups of centers. 9|00:00:59|760|00:01:08|100I also looked at six groups of centers from A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, pages 169 and 170. 10|00:01:08|740|00:01:16|720This is a simplification here. We've been looking at a man who lives below the diaphragm: 11|00:01:17|340|00:01:19|980the base of the spine, sacral and solar plexus center. 12|00:01:20|880|00:01:28|680Then we've been looking at a more advanced individual, who is probably not yet the initiate 13|00:01:28|680|00:01:32|540or true disciple: throat center, heart center, and ajna center. 14|00:01:33|420|00:01:38|680And then the ajna center, head center, and the center in the medulla oblongata, which 15|00:01:38|680|00:01:45|640tells us that this triangle in the head is activated, which occurs at the third initiation, 16|00:01:45|640|00:01:50|560and will open the third eye and will give unity of vision. 17|00:01:51|380|00:01:59|980And then the disciple is in the position of being able to make revelation of that unity. 18|00:02:00|100|00:02:01|740So that is the initiate consciousness. 19|00:02:02|700|00:02:09|440And that's just where, just about there, is where the recording just stopped. 20|00:02:10|120|00:02:17|000I was reading the following. Master D.K. says, “Unfortunately, the organizing principle is 21|00:02:17|000|00:02:23|840not as simple as the above tabulation would make it appear, for the emphasis, the focus, 22|00:02:24|180|00:02:31|900and the mode of arranging, and the vitalization, and the appearance of these esoteric triangles 23|00:02:31|900|00:02:33|420varies with the ray type.” 24|00:02:33|710|00:02:38|940And I was explaining that I think that is the monadic ray that is involved there. 25|00:02:39|340|00:02:45|980“Always there is the tendency for activation to proceed from the third aspect to the second 26|00:02:45|980|00:02:46|840to the first.” 27|00:02:47|600|00:02:51|020But there are variations in activation. 28|00:02:51|140|00:02:54|100Every triangle has a first, second, and third aspect. 29|00:02:55|080|00:03:04|240And if you're on the second ray monad, the point representing the second aspect tends 30|00:03:04|240|00:03:11|280to be unfolded almost as rapidly or as rapidly as the point representing the third aspect. 31|00:03:12|340|00:03:24|080And if you're on the first aspect, it is difficult to unfold the love aspect of a triangle, and 32|00:03:24|080|00:03:30|420if you're on the third aspect, it's difficult to unfold 33|00:03:30|420|00:03:36|640the will aspect of a triangle, and if you're on the first aspect, it's difficult to unfold 34|00:03:36|640|00:03:42|260the intelligence aspect of the triangle, even though that always tends to be the first to 35|00:03:42|260|00:03:42|620unfold. 36|00:03:42|820|00:03:51|320So there are variations in these unfoldments which depend upon particularly the monadic 37|00:03:51|320|00:03:58|400ray, and there are also various complex triangles, additional triangles, which were not mentioned 38|00:03:58|400|00:04:00|700in the triangles immediately above. 39|00:04:01|260|00:04:03|180As I say, this is a simplification. 40|00:04:03|820|00:04:08|940When we see these three groups, this is a simplification. 41|00:04:10|960|00:04:19|120The science of triangles, of energy, underlies the new esoteric science, both in astrology 42|00:04:19|120|00:04:23|120and in the science of laya yoga, or the science of the centers. 43|00:04:24|140|00:04:31|700The science of laya yoga deals with the method of unfolding the centers on various planes, 44|00:04:31|900|00:04:37|900not only on the etheric plane, where it is probably most focused, but there is unfoldment 45|00:04:37|900|00:04:42|460of centers on the astral plane and even on the mental plane, and eventually on later 46|00:04:42|460|00:04:48|980there will be unfoldment of vortices or centers on the higher planes, even though they are 47|00:04:48|980|00:04:55|920not drawn into the charts, even though they are not drawn into our maps, yet they are 48|00:04:55|920|00:05:02|940hinted at when we are told that 35 vortices of force make a master. 49|00:05:04|620|00:05:11|240Okay, both this ancient yoga and the still more ancient astrological science—it is the 50|00:05:11|240|00:05:19|020D.K. of the oldest and the greatest of the sciences—the still more ancient astrological 51|00:05:19|020|00:05:25|620science, have now to be studied upon a higher turn of the spiral, probably not the ultimate 52|00:05:25|620|00:05:30|160turn of the spiral, but at least higher than the way we have been considering it. 53|00:05:30|660|00:05:37|520Up till the present time, the teaching about the centers has been inherited from Atlantean 54|00:05:37|520|00:05:45|460times and couched in the old forms and formulas, which are basically unsuited to our present 55|00:05:45|460|00:05:50|360greatly advanced stages of development. And you might wonder whether some of the information 56|00:05:50|360|00:05:58|660that we have in the Hindu texts on the centers come into this particular category. When you 57|00:05:58|660|00:06:03|740read and you contrast the way D.K. presents the centers with the way they are presented 58|00:06:03|740|00:06:12|380in the old Laya Yoga books, though very interestingly, perhaps this basic defect is present. 59|00:06:14|000|00:06:19|680The same can be said, he says, of orthodox astrology, namely that we have old forms of 60|00:06:19|680|00:06:25|300presentation and newer ones are needed. Both these sciences, they are very closely related, 61|00:06:25|380|00:06:32|660the science of astrology and of Laya Yoga, because they are both dealing with the etheric 62|00:06:32|660|00:06:41|520substratum of life and with the centers. Every astrological factor is really a chakra in 63|00:06:41|520|00:06:48|440itself. We are dealing with greater chakras related to lesser chakras. So both these sciences 64|00:06:48|440|00:06:56|980must be reoriented and rearranged. And astrology must be based upon a deeper understanding 65|00:06:56|980|00:07:03|660of the relation of the planets, sacred and non-sacred, to the centers and to certain 66|00:07:03|660|00:07:12|160prominent cycles of polarization emerging as the foreordained results of periods of 67|00:07:12|160|00:07:25|560crisis. When we have a crisis, it gives us the opportunity to re-polarize energy at a 68|00:07:25|560|00:07:34|760higher level of vibration. Suppose there is a battle between two centers going on, let's 69|00:07:34|760|00:07:40|240say the solar plexus and the heart center. That is our opportunity to re-polarize energy 70|00:07:40|700|00:07:49|060in the heart center, rather than in the solar plexus where it had been previously. So, he 71|00:07:49|060|00:07:56|340says the last sentence embodies a basic and important statement of truth. So let us underline 72|00:07:59|660|00:08:08|720that to the centers and certain prominent cycles of polarization emerging as the foreordained, 73|00:08:08|860|00:08:18|280predestined, expected results of periods of crisis. Periods of crisis are always periods 74|00:08:18|280|00:08:28|460of potential growth and a lifting of the human consciousness and the human energy system 75|00:08:28|860|00:08:38|740to a higher level of vibration and sensitivity. So we can welcome crises if we realize that 76|00:08:38|740|00:08:48|260there is a foreordained outcome to these crises. Now we have made it to page 78, and we have 77|00:08:48|280|00:08:56|200made it to page 78. And this section is called “The Centers and Triangles of Force.” There 78|00:08:56|200|00:09:05|640are, as you well know, five non-sacred planets and seven which are regarded as sacred. And 79|00:09:05|640|00:09:12|740this is including the synthesizing planets which are sacred and even perhaps more highly 80|00:09:12|740|00:09:20|140developed, essentially, than the other sacred planets. Five non-sacred planets beginning 81|00:09:20|140|00:09:27|380with the dense physical vehicle, the Moon, the Earth, the etheric, Mars, astral, 82|00:09:28|820|00:09:35|280Pluto, mental, that is one way of looking at it, and the Sun, the Ahamkara principle 83|00:09:35|280|00:09:42|580of the personality. At least that is a lesser way of interpreting the Sun, but in accordance 84|00:09:42|580|00:09:54|620perhaps with the non-sacred second-ray planet which it is said to veil. The twelve planetary 85|00:09:54|620|00:10:04|260lives with their own cycles, both of rotation and revolution, points of crisis and moments 86|00:10:04|260|00:10:10|820of polarization, they have all of these as they are growing, and moments of polarization 87|00:10:10|820|00:10:18|200at certain levels are closely related to the seven centers. Now, I've shown you that map, 88|00:10:20|260|00:10:27|940it's a tabulation really, it's on page 517 of the astrology book. Let's look at it very 89|00:10:27|940|00:10:34|640quickly here. This is, yes, I've shown this to you and it's a good one to be able to reference, 90|00:10:35|500|00:10:46|220517. Yes, here are the planets, and here is their relation for the average man, and for 91|00:10:46|220|00:10:53|880the disciple initiate to the various centers. So average man, these are the relationships, 92|00:10:54|920|00:11:04|620and we have quite a few non-sacred planets in there, Pluto, Earth, the Sun, the Earth, 93|00:11:04|640|00:11:11|620and Mars, but not the Moon. And here, for disciples and initiates, the esoteric planets, 94|00:11:13|680|00:11:19|740these are the esoteric rulers, sacred planets, for the most part, although Pluto is included 95|00:11:19|740|00:11:27|240still at the base of the spine, and the centers to which they relate. Okay, 517 of Esoteric 96|00:11:27|240|00:11:34|620Astrology. So, repeating, these twelve planetary lives, 97|00:11:34|640|00:11:44|780with their own cycles, points of crisis, and moments of polarization, are closely related 98|00:11:44|780|00:11:53|580to the seven centers. The five centers up the spine are related to five non-sacred planets. 99|00:11:53|860|00:12:01|180I wonder if we can look at how that might be. But in unevolved or average man are focused 100|00:12:02|140|00:12:09|660almost entirely upon the astral plane, and in the astral body. Well, we do have astral 101|00:12:09|660|00:12:16|160centers, generally speaking, from Esoteric Healing, they have rulerships which are somewhat 102|00:12:16|160|00:12:25|140at variance with the rulerships of the etheric planets, the etheric chakras. But let us take 103|00:12:25|140|00:12:32|040a look at how this might be. The center, five centers up the spine, so presumably that ends 104|00:12:32|040|00:12:38|080at the throat center, and here's how we would go. We would say that Pluto is at the base 105|00:12:38|080|00:12:46|700of the spine, and let's see the Mars, let's skip the sacral center for the moment, Mars 106|00:12:46|700|00:12:55|120is the solar plexus, the Sun is the heart, and Earth is the heart. And the heart is the 107|00:12:55|740|00:13:04|220throat center. This leaves the Moon as related to the sacral center, and certainly that is 108|00:13:04|220|00:13:12|180the center of generation. That is not the way the planets are listed, because Uranus 109|00:13:12|180|00:13:19|000is given to the sacral center, but one can think of the instinctual Moon and the production 110|00:13:19|000|00:13:26|100of form and its relationship to Cancer, the sacral center contributing to the production 111|00:13:26|100|00:13:37|080of vehicles. So let us say that the Moon can be assigned to the sacral center. And then 112|00:13:37|080|00:13:45|960the others are pretty well as they are found on page 517. So the five centers up the spine 113|00:13:46|640|00:13:53|260are related to the five non-sacred planets, but in uninvolved or average manner focused 114|00:13:53|260|00:13:58|400almost entirely upon the astral plane. So the astral centers are at least awakening, 115|00:13:58|860|00:14:06|920and these vehicles are active, these planets are active in relation to the astral centers, 116|00:14:07|280|00:14:13|680but not fully active, as it is only when we are really taking the second degree that we 117|00:14:13|680|00:14:21|660have a fuller activation and even a fourth dimensional rotation of the astral centers. 118|00:14:22|440|00:14:26|720Just the way there is a fourth dimensional rotation of the etheric centers, or some of 119|00:14:26|720|00:14:31|960them at least, at the first initiation, and presumably by extension a fourth dimensional 120|00:14:31|960|00:14:42|360rotation of mental centers on the lower mental plane at the third initiation. Okay, we have 121|00:14:42|360|00:14:48|760to see whether we are experiencing degraded audio again. I just have to let that go with 122|00:14:48|760|00:15:02|520the hope that we will be able to continue this webinar. Okay, right, at the third initiation 123|00:15:02|520|00:15:08|760there are developments, the unfoldment of all nine petals in the egoic lotus, but probably 124|00:15:08|760|00:15:15|820some fourth dimensional rotation of the mental chakras. Alright, it should be noted that 1|00:00:05|120|00:00:13|200two of the non-sacred planets, the Earth itself and the Moon, are connected with two centers 126|00:15:27|100|00:15:34|860which in the higher, highly evolved man are not of dominating importance. They may be 127|00:15:34|860|00:15:40|080of importance, but they are not of dominating importance. They are not dominant; they have 128|00:15:40|080|00:15:50|660been somewhat overcome. That is the spleen receiving pranic emanations from the planet 129|00:15:50|660|00:15:57|700on which we live, yes, and also I would say from the Sun as well, but the spleen receiving 130|00:15:57|700|00:16:03|680pranic emanations from the planet on which we live. Perhaps it is the planet mediates 131|00:16:03|680|00:16:10|280the prana from the Sun, but it has its own earthly prana as well, and concerned with 132|00:16:10|280|00:16:16|940the etheric and physical bodies. So, although the Earth is the ruler of the throat center, 133|00:16:18|260|00:16:28|920it is also to be associated with the spleen center. Both the Sun and the Earth, which 134|00:16:28|920|00:16:35|740are in a way opposites, depending on your point of vantage. If you are standing on the 135|00:16:35|740|00:16:40|040Earth, the Sun is the opposite. If you are standing on the Sun, the Earth is in the opposite 136|00:16:40|040|00:16:50|520sign. They both are associated with spleen. There are two types of prana. One is solar 137|00:16:50|520|00:16:58|900prana and the other is the planetary prana. The pores are especially involved in the outer 138|00:16:59|500|00:17:07|800planetary prana, but D.K. seems to be telling us that the spleen is also active in receiving 139|00:17:07|800|00:17:15|840pranic emanations from the planet. Are they the emanations of the planet itself, or are 140|00:17:15|840|00:17:23|540they mediated emanations? In other words, the Sun emanates the prana and the planet 141|00:17:23|540|00:17:29|660passes it on. Anyway, the spleen is concerned with the etheric and physical bodies and their 142|00:17:29|660|00:17:35|300physical relations. So, that's the Earth, and what does it say about the Moon? The Moon 143|00:17:35|300|00:17:44|120is connected with a center in the chest related to the thymus gland. So, it must be veiling 144|00:17:44|120|00:17:51|280a planet, I would say, in that connection. This center becomes inactive in the advancement 145|00:17:51|910|00:17:59|060of intellect, presumably, but has a connection with the vagus nerve prior to the awakening 146|00:17:59|060|00:18:05|760of the heart center. And one wonders whether the planet Neptune is not sometimes connected 147|00:18:05|760|00:18:15|580here. There is also the idea of the reawakening of the thymus center in highly advanced individuals. 148|00:18:16|340|00:18:22|940In other words, it may be active in the child, and perhaps in early man, I'm not sure. And 149|00:18:22|940|00:18:29|660in advanced man, it becomes inactive, but there is the sense that as we become truly 150|00:18:29|660|00:18:36|800intuitive, truly vital due to the vitalization from the soul, and in the later stages of 151|00:18:36|800|00:18:45|560our evolution, that there is a center related to the thymus gland which is reawakened. So, 152|00:18:46|240|00:18:52|020but it has a connection with the vagus nerve prior to the awakening of the heart center. 153|00:18:52|160|00:19:01|200Well, the heart center seems to be very fully active in human beings with all types of polarization, 154|00:19:01|960|00:19:08|840but the real awakening comes later. And I think we should say that real awakening of 155|00:19:08|840|00:19:21|200the heart center comes later. And then this center is connected with the vagus nerve, 156|00:19:21|320|00:19:29|960but prior to the real awakening, because even astrally polarized man, early mentally polarized 157|00:19:29|960|00:19:38|820man, and so forth. Okay, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, 158|00:19:38|840|00:19:50|620rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise. All right. Okay, unfortunately I'm 159|00:19:50|620|00:19:56|600going to have to terminate this recording, as it seems that the, again, for the second 160|00:19:56|600|00:20:07|360time today, there has been interference. But I will do my best to continue where we are. 161|00:20:08|700|00:20:14|680And still there is twenty minutes on this little recording. Okay, so this will be the 162|00:20:14|680|00:20:19|740sudden end of esoteric astrology adventure number thirty-four. Sorry.
