The Beau­ti­ful Necessity

It is quite com­fort­ing, inspi­ra­tional and illu­mi­nat­ing to enjoy the wis­dom of the ages, found in the pro­found gifts of phi­los­o­phy, sci­ence and reli­gion, which have been passed down from time immemo­r­i­al to guide our jour­ney to this very day.

This last year, we enjoyed the dance of Jupiter as it sailed through its own sign of Sagit­tar­ius. You were remind­ed that one of the most impor­tant chal­lenges that you will have on “our jour­ney that is an awak­en­ing” is to con­sid­er how you can bet­ter under­stand your­self and your world.

It is nec­es­sary that we do this, for only if we con­tin­u­al­ly lift our con­scious­ness high­er, only then will we be able to sep­a­rate truth from false­hood, only then will we know what is the good and how we might do bet­ter. Only by this gift of the Wis­dom-Keep­ers and our own efforts to under­stand will we turn away from the shad­ows and join with those who live in love and light.

Jupiter, which has been mov­ing through its own sign of Sagit­tar­ius since Novem­ber of last year, enters the earthy sign of Capri­corn today. The unfold­ment of spir­i­tu­al ener­gy-forms, as revealed by the Signs of Zodi­ac, pro­ceeds in this way so that after the ideals of any Fire sign we will move into the realms of real­i­ty-mak­ing held by Earth.

This is the mes­sage of Jupiter in Capri­corn, and you would be wise to make this part of your prac­tice now. It is not enough to believe in or to mere­ly speak of truth. Your spir­i­tu­al jour­ney is not only of the mind or to be found in your heart. The noble path, the Way of all seek­ers and seers, is to fol­low the Way of Wisdom:

You are here to live by Light; You are here to become this Truth.

To build a world, to live a life, that is found­ed and formed by Liv­ing Truth is the only way for the promise of Light and Love to be made real for one and all. If Jupiter is the Way of Truth, and Capri­corn the realm of Respon­si­bil­i­ty and Self-Ful­fill­ment, then the mes­sage of Jupiter now is that to live by truth is the heart and soul of this entire Cre­ation; and you are here to shoul­der this respon­si­bil­i­ty. Your self-ful­fill­ment is assured because you will real­ize that the truth with­in you is the same truth that sur­rounds you in all the realms and bod­ies that form the cos­mos too.

And you will equal­ly find that you are part of a great Hier­ar­chy of Light and Love, formed by the small­est of infin­i­tes­i­mals on up to the great souls arch­ing over the star­ry fir­ma­ment above. And, most imme­di­ate­ly, here on Earth, you should bow down and give thanks to those who came this way long before you. There is a celes­tial cord of Light-Love-Mean­ing that holds all of Cre­ation as one, and being self-aware now, your duty is to join with those who care for you, as you must care for one anoth­er, and indeed take your place as a guardian for all of Cre­ation too.

Their lov­ing exam­ple, that these great souls and kin­dred spir­its extend­ed (and still main­tain) this lov­ing guid­ance and help­ing hand to you, will stir your heart and you will also turn and extend your help to those that fol­low you, for this is how “the great work” is done. The Love and Truth of the Cre­ator lives on in all of us – it is all of us – and that is why we are for­ev­er guid­ed and shaped by the one abid­ing truth that you and I, and the whole of Cre­ation is this liv­ing Act of Love, formed and sus­tained by our Love for one and all. The one gold­en rule of Right­eous­ness (of right con­duct) is sim­ply this:

We were made togeth­er as one by love; we are here to love and care for one another; 
we are here to love and be loved as the ful­fill­ment of Divine Eter­nal Love.

We embody this fun­da­men­tal truth in the realm of forms that is Capri­corn, by tak­ing what was the first instance of this bind­ing force for us, the instinc­tu­al and spon­ta­neous love of a par­ent for their child, and we formed and nur­tured our lives upon the foun­da­tion of our Fam­i­ly. We extend­ed this love and meet­ing of one another’s needs out into our larg­er Com­mu­ni­ty insti­tu­tions of neigh­bor­hood, town, and region. We stretched our respons­es and respon­si­bil­i­ties to one anoth­er into the largest of these Insti­tu­tion­al embod­i­ments of Car­ing Truths by estab­lish­ing our gov­ern­ing bod­ies of local, state and nation­al gov­er­nance. The laws and norms of these agents and agen­cies, are sim­ply but pro­found­ly the uni­ver­sal­ized for­ma­tions of our love and car­ing for one another.

And so now, in this present era, we have reached a crit­i­cal moment in our jour­ney of awak­en­ing. We have been able to look back upon our world from the fir­ma­ment above, and in see­ing our beau­ti­ful blue home in the dark vast­ness of Space, we under­stand that if we are to take care of one anoth­er and our beau­ti­ful home, we must extend our lov­ing care to one anoth­er through an encom­pass­ing Earth­ly Aware­ness and Holis­tic Action which will seek to pre­serve, pro­tect and pro­mote the well-being for “all crea­tures, great and small”. It is our sacred duty to take good care of our love­ly home and all of the life with­in it.

We are the Mak­er (or beaker) of our world now. Only by car­ing for our pre­cious home, our dear moth­er Earth, will we shoul­der our right­ful respon­si­bil­i­ty for our human fam­i­ly by equal­ly car­ing for the entire and won­drous hier­ar­chy of life that live with us here too. Life begets life; the beau­ty made by the com­plex web and diver­si­ty of life is essen­tial to our well-being too.

If you lis­ten to your heart, you will know the Truth, and you will know that your respon­si­bil­i­ty is as much to one anoth­er as it is to all of life on Earth. We are part of one fam­i­ly; our home is Earth; and all these many lives are one in the One Life of Spirit.

This is the Beau­ti­ful Neces­si­ty, that behind all of Cre­ation is Divine Love.

Your duty, your self-ful­fill­ment is to stand for Life and to live by Love.

This is the embod­i­ment of Jupiter’s Truth now made man­i­fest in the Realm of Real­i­ty, the King­dom of Respon­si­bil­i­ty, in the Realm of Capri­corn where Right Think­ing, and Right Action lead to Beau­ty and Truth.

Jupiter in Capri­corn is where Beau­ty as Truth is made real when each of us acts with Love and Under­stand­ing to cre­ate a Bet­ter World.
