Sun Enters Capricorn (December 21, 2019)

The Path­way to Fulfillment

What dri­ves the unfold­ment of the Cos­mos? What force or pow­er beats in your heart and soul, and indeed in the very Heart and Soul of the Uni­verse? Why do we strive to climb high­er, to do bet­ter, to be bet­ter, to reach for the stars?

There is in every mote and par­ti­cle of the Uni­verse, in every crea­ture great and small, a source of Light and Love. It is quite sim­ply and most pro­found­ly the Spark of the Divine. The Mind, Love and Will of the One Spir­it is the Pri­mal Cause of one and all. For this very rea­son, the entire Uni­verse, and every-being, and indeed “every-thing” too is endowed with some form of consciousness…The whole of the Uni­verse is alive and awake, from the small­est of infin­i­tes­i­mals, to atoms and mol­e­cules, to life-forms on up and beyond to the stars. All of it is part of the One Life, the One Mind, the One Spir­it. Quite sim­ply and pro­found­ly all of what is “that” is the One. That is why the whole of Cre­ation is Conscious.

Cre­ation is the jour­ney of Spir­i­tu­al Con­scious­ness through ener­gy-forms that are formed and informed by the Love of the One for one and for all.

Yet, as each spark is of the One, each mon­ad, each and every “one”, is a unique or indi­vid­ual expres­sion of the Divine. Con­tained and formed into that mon­ad is what I call the “Quin­tes­sence” of that par­ti­cle of spir­it, and it is this par­tic­u­lar dew­drop of spir­i­tu­al quin­tes­sence that makes you the very spe­cial one that you are.

Through a series of forms liv­ing in innu­mer­able lives, each spark of the Divine will reach at some point the realm of Self-Aware Con­scious­ness, one of which is our Human King­dom. At this cross­ing point between the dark­ness and the light, the unfold­ment of the Divine poten­tial will become ever more insis­tent, forged through an increas­ing­ly self-deter­mined con­scious­ness, and from this the var­i­ous mor­tal ener­gy-forms and bod­ies will equal­ly become more sub­tle and per­fect­ed vehi­cles for spir­i­tu­al fulfillment.

In the “low­er king­doms” of Life-Spir­it-Con­scious­ness, where the lamp of self-con­scious­ness is unlit, the unfold­ment of spir­i­tu­al poten­tial­i­ties is dri­ven by more uncon­scious and “nat­ur­al” har­monies formed by atom­ic, mol­e­c­u­lar and bio­log­ic cycles and pat­terns. When the light of Self-Aware con­scious­ness becomes awak­ened, the path­way of unfold­ment becomes steep­er, for it is then that the hard-won lift­ing of self is forged through the great chal­lenge of learn­ing by tri­al and error, of learn­ing what to do (and what not to do), so that you bend your life increas­ing­ly to what is true and beau­ti­ful and loving.

Yes, you have crossed a major thresh­old on the path of Spir­it. You have become respon­si­ble for your devel­op­ment. But equal­ly and most impor­tant­ly, for you are made by and for one anoth­er, you are respon­si­ble for the devel­op­ment of one anoth­er too. You could not be human with­out all those fel­low trav­el­ers with whom you journey.

For you and for all your fel­low humans, you will strive through many, many lives to forge a bet­ter you and a bet­ter world for one anoth­er. As you redeem your past, you will forge your present and equal­ly shape your future lives too. All of this is deter­mined by the great Uni­ver­sal Law of Jus­tice, the Law of Kar­ma, of cause and effect. You are all equal under this law which is immutable and impar­tial; each for your­self as you equal­ly serve one anoth­er, you forge the Path to one another’s Self-Ful­fill­ment by the divine law, ”that what­so­ev­er you have sown, so shall you reap”.

This is what we cel­e­brate now in this time of Capri­corn. This is the realm of Des­tiny, and you should bow your head and bend the knee wher­ev­er Capri­corn is found in your chart. It is here that you expe­ri­ence the joy­ful Tests of Respon­si­bil­i­ty; it is here that the truth you encoun­tered in Sagit­tar­ius must be incor­po­rat­ed into the sub­stance of your life.

You are not here mere­ly to dis­cov­er, to pon­der and con­sid­er what is true; You are here to be that Truth, so that it forms your moti­va­tions and inten­tions. Then, by Right Think­ing and Right Action, this “Truth lived as Life” will become the very char­ac­ter of your being and the lumi­nous sub­stance of your destiny.

Here at the Sol­stice of Capri­corn, you pause and con­sid­er the long and wind­ing road that is the “Path­way of Per­fec­tion”. You under­stand that it is the pre­cious “gift of choice” that will lead to your even­tu­al illu­mi­na­tion and apoth­e­o­sis. The innu­mer­able tests, tri­umphs and errors in life after life, both your achieve­ments and your stum­bles, all your cor­rec­tions and attempts to do bet­ter are pre­cise­ly the means by which you learn what not to do as you forge a bet­ter you.

You are respon­si­ble for what you are today; you are what you are because that spark of the divine would not give up, and you shoul­dered the respon­si­bil­i­ty for who you are and what you will become. This is why you are here:

You are here on Earth for self-mastery; 
you are here for Self-Fulfillment;
you are here because you are one of the ones of the One.

It is in Capri­corn that you assume your right­ful place in the great Hier­ar­chy of Com­pas­sion. For none of us would be here with­out the inspi­ra­tion, guid­ance and sup­port of those who ages ago extend­ed their lov­ing sup­port to lift them­selves and one anoth­er up. That Rib­bon of Light and Love, extend­ing back into the mists of time, and equal­ly arch­ing out ahead into the future, is the promise kept by the Keep­ers of the Flame, the Mas­ters of the Light and Love, who show that the way to Self-Ful­fill­ment is for each one us to be a light for one anoth­er too.

It is your duty and priv­i­lege to be part of this great com­pa­ny. With one hand reach­ing upwards to those upon the path ahead of you, and your oth­er hand extend­ed to those who fol­low, you are a pre­cious spark in this nev­er-end­ing sto­ry of Light and Love and Truth.

In this moment of still­ness, when the whole world waits for a sign that the Light of the World will not go out, gath­er togeth­er and hold in your hearts the Great Invo­ca­tion which will be shared through­out tem­ples and hearts on Earth at this time:

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of light with­in the Mind of God

Let Light stream forth into our minds

Let LIGHT descend on Earth.

From the point of love with­in the Heart of God

Let Love stream forth into our hearts

May LOVE increase on Earth.

From the cen­ter where the Will of God is known

Let pur­pose guide our wills

The PURPOSE which the mas­ters know and serve.

From the cen­ter which we call Humanity

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out

And may it seal the door

where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Pow­er restore the Plan on Earth
