Whence – Where – Whither

Part 1 – Whence

As we look ahead to 2018, we seek to find in our fad­ing foot­steps some indi­ca­tion as to what we might encounter. So, let us look ahead by first glanc­ing back at the major Astro­log­i­cal fac­tors that mod­u­lat­ed our lives last year.

Through much of last year we felt the push and pull of two inter­re­lat­ed aspects, Jupiter was Oppo­site Uranus while Jupiter Squared Plu­to. The fact that these two align­ments over­lapped one anoth­er won­der­ful­ly illus­trat­ed that we were still expe­ri­enc­ing the major influ­ence that has dom­i­nat­ed our world of late, the ongo­ing Square of Uranus and Pluto.

The rela­tion­ship between Uranus and Plu­to artic­u­lates the dynam­ic inter­play between Free­dom and Will, or Mind and Con­trol. Through their series of align­ments, (from Con­junc­tion, to Square, to Oppo­si­tion, to Square and onto the next Con­junc­tion) we wit­ness the chal­lenge that plays out in human affairs between our need to be Free and our need for Order. Many com­men­ta­tors have not­ed the sim­i­lar­i­ty of the chal­lenges and upheavals we are expe­ri­enc­ing in our own peri­od to those of the 1960’s, (their pri­or Con­junc­tion) and to the 1930’s, (their pre­vi­ous Square).

In our time, this strug­gle has been mod­u­lat­ed and exag­ger­at­ed by the 245-year cycle of Plu­to which has once again brought it into the Sign of Capri­corn, (from 2008 until 2024); once again we are here to bear wit­ness to and bear the respon­si­bil­i­ty for bring­ing this Age to a mean­ing­ful end as we help to give birth to anoth­er. Just like our ances­tors who went through sim­i­lar “End­ings of an Age/Beginnings of an Age”, (1762–1778 and 1516–1532) our Insti­tu­tions and Norms are being shat­tered by Agents of Destruction.

Yet, many, many more will seek to pre­serve what was so dear­ly bought by the Love and Sac­ri­fice of those who came before. And, there are those who are the Seers and Builders of the next New Age. But know this, that one and all will serve in their own way to be part of a Greater Sto­ry, the nev­er-end­ing Jour­ney of Life-Spir­it-Con­scious­ness which is lead­ing one and all home­ward to the Ever­last­ing Light.

The “Destroy­ers” serve as much as those who seek to Pre­serve, Heal and Build. Wise Ones know that we can nev­er judge anoth­er spir­i­tu­al­ly, for that is ful­filled by greater pow­ers than held in human under­stand­ing, will and laws. And, it most cer­tain­ly true, that no one per­son is all one or the oth­er. Just as Light and the Dark most cer­tain­ly con­tend “out there”, always and for­ev­er the real strug­gle of spir­it is to be faced with­in, by each indi­vid­ual in any life, and in life after life, as they walk the Spir­i­tu­al Razor’s Edge between Love and Fear, between Faith and Fate.

Each of us must find our way, to do our part in this world that is pass­ing away. For those who stand for the Eter­nal Val­ues of the Ancient Wis­dom, for those who are guid­ed by and seek to pre­serve the Trea­sures of Truth that all your for­bears endeav­ored to pass down to you, the way ahead is straight and true. You need only need remem­ber from whence you came, and you will steer your life by the ever­last­ing val­ues that stand behind all Creation.

Behind each cul­ture, in the Dia­mond Heart of every Civ­i­liza­tion, in the heart of all Reli­gions, in the Philoso­phies and Sci­ences of every age, the Shin­ing Ones hold the Arche­types of Eter­ni­ty. In the end, it will always be your Joy and Duty to stand in the Light, and to hold to the path of Freer Thought, Uncon­di­tion­al Love and Cen­tered Will.

You hap­pen to be here, at this cru­cial hour. What a priv­i­lege this is; what a respon­si­bil­i­ty you bear. You have earned this; you are here to be the torch-bear­ers of Light. It is no acci­dent; you are part of a greater plan, and all those choic­es you made long ago have brought you and I to this moment now. And now, there is no more pre­cious moment than the next step you will take in this Jour­ney of Light and Love.

The world holds its breath; the Sto­ry of Light and Shad­ows arcs across your world.

It has always been so; and you have been here before.

Will you Stand for Truth?

Will you Stand Together?

Will you Stand for Love?

There is only One answer…

Stand in the Light; Be the Light.

Fol­low your Heart home.

Be guid­ed by the Wise Ones, who know there is no reli­gion high­er than Truth.
Walk the path of the Great-Souls, who prac­tice the Wis­dom of Love.
Find inspi­ra­tion in the Lone­ly Ones, their Will­ing-Sac­ri­fice hon­ored by
the Angels and Devas above.
Lis­ten for the Voice of the Silence, attend the gen­tle whis­pers in your Heart,
And you will find “The Way”.

Next, “Where are we now?”
