The Gift of Security, The Way Home

Fire, Earth, Air…and now Water. These are the four ways of Being. These are the ener­gy-forms of Ide­al­ism, Sub­stance, Thought and Feel­ing. Each is in every part of you, and in every­one and every­thing else too.

These four ener­gy-forms are mod­u­lat­ed through three expres­sions, Car­di­nal, Fixed and Muta­ble. From these Four expressed through these Three are made the Sacred Twelve Ener­gy-Forms. These Twelve Forms of Spir­it are known in the Ancient Teach­ings as the “Cir­cle of the Liv­ing Ones”, who are the twelve dimen­sions of Cre­ation you know as the Zodiac.

In this Astro­log­i­cal Year, you have aspired by Fire, sub­stan­ti­at­ed in Earth and reflect­ed through Air, and so it is time to “come home once again”, it is time to return to the realm of feel­ings found in the Waters of Cancer.

Yes, it is time to pause once more, at one of the Sacred Four Cor­ners of your jour­ney through Space-Time, to take some time and con­sid­er once again: From whence do you come, whith­er are you going…and most pro­found­ly to con­sid­er it all, why…why are you here?

But of course, the answer to why you are here must bring you to that ulti­mate question:

“Why is this or that, why is any­thing at all?”

And the answer is to be found with­in your heart of hearts, as it is reflect­ed all around you in the min­er­als, ani­mals, and stars and the moon. From down to the most infin­i­tes­i­mal and up to galax­ies and beyond, every­thing is because it is Spir­it. Which means quite sim­ply this: All of this is Alive, because Spir­it is Life, and so all of Cre­ation is the Life of the One…and it is this very same “One” who is the heart of you and you and you.

Your “home”, your “cen­ter” is all around you as it is most cer­tain­ly to be found with­in you too. For “you are all relat­ed”, from the begin­ning to the end, and all your many lives are strung like dia­monds upon a chord or neck­lace of spir­it. And each one of these lumi­nous dia­mond chords weave togeth­er into the rai­ment or body of the One, whose “Cen­ter is every­where and Cir­cum­fer­ence nowhere”. There is but One Spir­it, Omnipresent and Imma­nent in one and all.

In Can­cer, you are to feel this, this root­ed­ness in Cre­ation, to feel con­nect­ed, sur­round­ed, embraced, caressed, nur­tured and loved by Spir­it. Can­cer is about your feel­ing whole for your­self, and yet equal­ly, nec­es­sar­i­ly and inex­tri­ca­bly, you feel you are part of some­thing much greater too. You feel the whole of you, as you feel the one with­in you, and equal­ly your kin­ship with the whole of Cre­ation too.

Depend­ing upon your spir­i­tu­al unfold­ment, qual­i­fied by your self-awak­en­ing, the con­nec­tions and feel­ings you will expe­ri­ence will vary from the most obvi­ous and imme­di­ate to the most sub­lime. For some, it will begin (and end) with Moth­er-Father, Broth­er-Sis­ter, Grand­moth­er-Grand­fa­ther, Aunt-Uncle, that is with the phys­i­cal fact of fam­i­ly and birth in any one life. This is your phys­i­cal truth, you are part of this phys­i­cal fam­i­ly from gen­er­a­tion to generation.

For some, it will extend out­wards, upwards and equal­ly inward­ly as you feel your way to that “Intu­ition­al Know­ing” that we are all broth­ers and sis­ters, and we are in truth to be “all for One and one for All”. For as you go deep­er you feel and find that you come to the very same cen­ter that is there for one and all.

You are here for one anoth­er, because you have been cared for and nur­tured and formed by one anoth­er again and again, in this life and so many lives before. Whether from Father or Moth­er, or Grand­moth­ers and Grand­fa­thers, in your fam­i­ly, tribe or your fam­i­ly of choice, your com­pan­ions whom you call broth­er and sis­ter, from wher­ev­er you feel and find your kin­ship and your truth, you will also know this greater truth that we all are relat­ed as ones of the One.

And as you go deep­er you real­ize that as much as you have risen from the waters of Earth, you have descend­ed from the waters of Space. You are the above and the below, and you are tru­ly a micro­cosm of the Macro­cosm. That is why the key to life, inscribed upon all the Ancient Tem­ples of Truth, the Key to the King­dom of Ever­last­ing Light and Life is to “Know Thy­self”. By self-knowl­edge you also will also obtain the keys to the Knowl­edge of the Universe.

Here in Can­cer you know this, because you feel this. You know beyond words, beyond the bound­aries of intel­lect, as you feel and appre­hend what remains beyond the reach of your ordi­nary under­stand­ing. You know this because it is unde­ni­able, this self-affirm­ing feel­ing of love and car­ing, and this is your true source of secu­ri­ty through­out the ages.

You know because you can feel this truth: that you are nev­er alone, that you will always be cared for, and you will always be nur­tured and wel­comed home again and again by the Divine Love that is the source of you. It is this same Light of Love that forms your heart, and which holds all Cre­ation togeth­er from age to age. And it is this Divine Love which leads you out­ward, to care and nur­ture and hold one anoth­er in the love of kin­ship and fel­low­ship from the begin­ning until the end of Space-Time.

You are all the signs, and some­where in you, in your own astro­log­i­cal chart, there is the space that is Can­cer. This is where you are to be nur­tured and it is where you will nur­ture oth­ers. This is where you will feel the warmth of being part of the One, and know that there is but One who is in us all that prompts us to love one anoth­er as you love yourself.

Cel­e­brate the Sun’s Sol­stice, “the sun stand­ing still”, paus­ing in the heav­ens as the sea­sons turn and your oppor­tu­ni­ty comes once again to decide which path you will fol­low now.

If you would know which way you should go, it would be best to con­sid­er this feel­ing-know­ing from whence you came.

To know, in your heart of hearts the great Truth:

“We are all related”

Fol­low your Heart,

Care for each oth­er; Love one another,

And you will find your way home.
