The Tem­ple of Truth

At the heart of every teach­ing, like a riv­er of light, there abides an ever-last­ing stream of con­scious­ness, known to the Keep­ers of the Flame, as the Hier­ar­chy of the Shin­ing Ones. These Shin­ing Ones or Devas are the Lords of Med­i­ta­tion and Cos­mic Wisdom.

This is Truth: Cre­ation, all of it, from the most infin­i­tes­i­mal to the Stars and Galax­ies and beyond, all of it, all of “That” is alive and shin­ing. The whole of Cre­ation is self-lumi­nous because it is formed by the One Spir­it, by the Light of Divine Con­scious­ness. This Cre­ation is in turn shaped by the Mind, Love and Will of the innu­mer­able many ones who togeth­er form the radi­ant body of the One.

The very rea­son you can under­stand any­thing at all is because this entire Cre­ation, all that is around you, that which you seek to expe­ri­ence as real and true in your world, this is also the very same Ener­gy-Form that makes you too. That is why you can know and under­stand because, “I am That, I am”.

Through all the King­doms and Hier­ar­chies of Cre­ation it is under­stood that all of it, all of “That”, is part of the One Life, which from the high­est to the low­est is formed, “As above, so below; as inward­ly, so out­ward­ly”. You are here because you are part of the One Life, you are here as a mon­ad of Spir­it, you are the “Self-That-Is-Becom­ing”. You are here quite sim­ply “to live and learn and grow” into your full Divin­i­ty. This jour­ney of becom­ing requires of you to know who and what you are, and to remem­ber why you are here.

If you wish to lift the “Veil of Isis”, if you wish to remove the scales from your eyes and know the truth of all of “That”, well there are many ways and many paths that will bring you into the “Greater Under­stand­ing”. But there is one cer­tain path of awak­en­ing that begins in your heart and holds you in the warmth of the ever­last­ing light of the One. The gen­tle guid­ance of your high­er self has but one sim­ple but pro­found assur­ance, and the cer­tain path that will lead you out of dark­ness and into the light is sim­ply to fol­low the great injunc­tion, “Know Thyself”.

Today Jupiter returns home, to its very own Sign of Sagit­tar­ius, today Jupiter returns to the sacred Tem­ple of Truth. For over the past twelve months, Jupiter has been mov­ing through the Sign of Scor­pio, what I like to call the space in which we encounter the truth behind all less­er truths: “You are an Immor­tal, but you move through Mor­tal Realms”.

In Scor­pio, you move into that mys­te­ri­ous place of alche­my where two become one, where you let go of the less­er with­in you in order to grow into your great­ness togeth­er. It is in this sacred space that you expe­ri­ence Re-Birth by true sac­ri­fice, and so become even truer to your­self too. But in such a realm of the high­est heights and the deep­est depths, you will find that in this sacred space of Union that you are ren­dered mute, there are no words for what you encounter here.

In Scor­pio you meet the mys­ter­ies of Birth and Life, and so-called Death as you move through count­less Rebirths; you find you are hum­bled and ren­dered speech­less, word­less, by expe­ri­ences that take you beyond your low­er mind of this or that and into the space of Intu­ition­al Know­ing or “Heart-Mind”, which is not teth­ered to dual­i­ty. But, because of this expe­ri­ence, of find­ing your­self in this unfa­mil­iar space there are “no words”, there can be no know­ing of what you have just expe­ri­enced just yet. Instead you face the eter­nal Dual­i­ties pro­pelling down your Path and you ask your­self, “Am I Faith­ful or Fear­ful”, for now you know your Immor­tal­i­ty and Mor­tal­i­ty too, and the greater truth that holds them to one anoth­er, and you will come to know you are here to be both yet beyond them too.

But now, today, you enter the Space of Sagittarius…and here you “will find your words”. Here in the realm of Eter­nal Truths and the Halls of Wis­dom you will stretch your mind and heart to com­pre­hend. You will read a great nov­el or book on phi­los­o­phy; you will lis­ten to wise ones who have equal­ly found their humil­i­ty, and you will mar­vel at mod­ern sci­en­tif­ic dis­cov­er­ies, and mar­vel even more how they echo what was known thou­sands of years before. You will trav­el in your mind and by your body, and most impor­tant­ly and rev­er­ent­ly, you will lis­ten to that qui­et voice with­in you, as you seek to align what is with­in and around you to move beyond the known into the great unknown…and yet, oh yes, it is also eeri­ly, yet reas­sur­ing­ly, so very famil­iar too.

You will find your words, so you can share your sto­ry with one anoth­er, and they will share theirs with you. You will walk togeth­er, break bread togeth­er and do what we have done for thou­sands and thou­sands of years…you will tell one anoth­er sto­ries. You will drink from the Cup of Wis­dom and add your fair mea­sure too into this Liv­ing Tem­ple of Truth. For this is how it is done.

All that we have, all that is around us in arts and cul­ture, in civ­i­liza­tion and refine­ments, in com­mu­ni­ties and mean­ing­ful­ness is because we have laughed and cried, shared and imag­ined, and built and re-built with one anoth­er time and time again. We owe all of this to our capac­i­ty to learn from one anoth­er, to share and dis­cuss and argue and rea­son with one anoth­er, for this is how we learn to do bet­ter, this is how we become bet­ter, and by this we may dis­cov­er and estab­lish what is tru­ly true.

We find our truth out there, because it is mir­rored most per­fect­ly in our inner sanc­tum of self. Because those very same truths that shape our hearts and minds and love for one anoth­er have formed our world and this uni­verse too. All you are asked to do is open your mind and open your heart and you will see the Light.

Jupiter is mov­ing into Sagittarius…

It is time to tell your sto­ries to one another.

It is time to drink from the Well of Wisdom.

It is time to stand in the Light of the Greater Understanding.

It is time to Live for and by the Truth.
