Aquarius,
Invocation-Evocation, Community and the Future
In its annual passage, Aquarius mirrors in microcosm the sign
of Aquarius that the Sun is precessing into on its 2,160 year
cycle; we still stand in the 500 year cusp of the Pisces-Aquarian
ages, but closer to the Aquarian, said to astronomically start in 2117 CE.
Aquarius
the water-bearer is one of the few human signs of the zoo-diac
of animals, the man with a pitcher of water upon his shoulder,
serving his fellow humanity by pouring forth for those who ‘thirst’.
Aquarius
and Pisces were the last two signs that were ‘activated’ in our
zodiac, since a ten-sign zodiac in Atlantean times and an eight-sign
zodiac earlier in the ancient Lemurian era. These two signs also
represent Lamech and Noah of Old Testament fame, the former being
the Manu of the fifth subrace of the Fourth Rootrace Atlantis
(4.5) and the latter Noah, or Vaivasvata Manu of the following
Fifth Rootrace.
All
this occurred at the start of our Fifth Rootrace several million
years ago (in its nascent beginnings) and Aquarius-Pisces are
the polar opposite of the two signs that were added in early Atlantean
times Leo-Virgo, the Sphinx. The Fifth Rootrace’s ‘mission’ has
been to utilise these Aquarian forces to further develop the mind
- than the earlier more emotionally-polarised Atlantean Fourth
Rootrace.
Aquarius
has only one ray passing through it, the Fifth Ray of Science, ruled by Venus. Venus here is the Goddess
of Beauty who harmonises and makes whole the cleavages and dualities
of the mental plane; of course the higher mental plane is the
seat of the soul and eventually this energy filters down to the
astral plane where Venus is most commonly known as the Goddess
of Love. As most people approach love through the feeling nature,
this is how Venus is commonly perceived. Yet a hint of how love
is expressed from the mental plane may be perceived in the classic
‘cool’ Aquarian who some may regard as ‘cold’, but only because
some may expect ‘warm and fuzzy’.
Hence,
the Fifth Ray and Aquarius conditioning the Fifth Rootrace is
most appropriate for not only mental development, but also Humanity
learning far more detachment and co-operation with one another.
In the cycle we are entering on the 2,160 year wheel, we are learning
far more about group processes, co-operation and community than
ever before. These ‘groups’ and ‘communities’ can be one or several
people, online, in the city or on the farm!
Aquarius
naturally invokes its opposite Leo and the challenge for all conscious
workers in the new era is to submit the lower ego to a group process
that has a common goal; this of course has its higher expression
and lower expression, subject to the distorting lenses of high
idealism or unprocessed, unconscious baggage.
The
signs of the zodiac are living beings, electo-magnetic patterns
if you like, that are ensouled by highly evolved entities from
a parallel evolution to Humanity known as the angelic or deva
kingdom. These beings are
the signs, and the signs evolve and develop in response to
human evolution and interaction with these ‘celestial hierarchies’,
as they are also called; they have evolved in response to the
thoughts and ideas of thousands of astrologically minded people
for millenia.
The
cultivation of this relationship is all part of the Science of
Invocation and Evocation; something that has occurred far more
unconsciously in the recent past, but which was far more conscious
and deliberate in ancient times when the priest-astrologers would
invoke the ‘regents’ of the planets, the beings that ensouled
them.
That
Science of Invocation and Evocation is one of the primary areas
of learning that is slated for us in the Aquarian Age, whether
it be the invoking of Deity, the zodiac signs, the planets, the
rays ‘lives’, the Masters, our own souls, the group soul or Sanat
Kumara, who holds the divine blueprint of the plan and purpose
for this planet.
“The science of invocation and evocation will take the place of
what we now call prayer and worship. Be not disturbed by the use
of the word "science." It is not the cold and heartless
intellectual thing so oft depicted. It is in reality the intelligent
organisation of spiritual energy and of the forces of love, and
when effective, will evoke the response of spiritual Beings Who
can again walk openly among men and thus establish a close relation
and a constant communication
between humanity and the spiritual Hierarchy.”
Another
science, the greatest tool for liberation ever gifted to Humanity,
is meditation. At the five-day full moon periods particularly,
we all have the opportunity to align with our soul, group or Master
and commune with one
another – this is the true cultivation of community
mentioned earlier – a community of souls. It is also a great opportunity
to put into fullest practice that which we have been working upon
in the previous month, to work in a scientific and detached manner
with ourselves and others; to be able direct energy clearly with
right and loving intent – this is part of what is meant by the
phrase – ‘white magic’.
Aquarius
is certainly a magical sign. The Fifth Ray is a ray of manifesting,
but much more so the Seventh Ray of Ceremonial Order or Magic;
it is associated with Aquarius through its ruler Uranus, also
this ray’s ruler. The Seventh Ray has been increasing in its strength
since 1945 and will be in ‘incarnation’ more or less paralleling
the entire period of the 2,160 year cycle of the Aquarian Age.
The
‘manifestation’ that
we have the opportunity to see in this cycle is the ‘soul made
flesh’ or the Kingdom
of Souls externalised
upon the physical plane. Aiding and abetting this divine ‘conspiracy’
is the Externalisation of the Masters of Wisdom from the year
2025 onward. Hence this coming Aquarian Age will see ‘the circle
well nigh trod and the end approacheth the beginning’ - for several
reasons:
1. It will be the first time that the Masters have planned to
‘reappear’ amongst Humanity since the dying days of Atlantis and
its great war, when they were forced to withdraw from human contact
to work behind the scenes for a period of ‘millions’ of years.
It was at that time that the 11th and 12th
signs of Aquarius and Pisces were activated.
2. This cycle of Aquarius in the ‘lesser wheel’ of 2,160 years
makes a rare coincidence with a cycle of Aquarius on the ‘greater
wheel’ of 25,000 years:
“Therefore, my brothers, the closer relation of the Hierarchy
to Shamballa, the stimulation of its own interior life, and the
readiness of humanity for revelation and for certain unexpected
development, will condition the cycle into which we are now entering.
This is, therefore, the most amazing period in the history of
humanity. Added to this, it must be borne in mind that we are
entering another greater round of the Zodiac, and this coincides
with the lesser zodiacal activity because Aquarius governs the
greater immediate cycle of 25,000 years and is also the sign into
which the sun is now moving for a period of 2300 years—a most
amazing happening and full of import in our planetary history…”
3. The first 700-year decanate of Aquarius will see the possibility
of achievement of the Third Initiation by a significant number
of souls. If this occurs, then it will signify a measure of ‘safety’
for Humanity in terms of the influence of the forces of materialism
– those very forces which are currently fighting to distract us
from the main event.
4. Several major revelations will enter into the mainstream of
understanding:
a. The destruction of the morbid fears and thoughtform around
death that has plagued Humanity since Atlantean days:
“This, our present cycle, is the end of the age, and the next
two hundred years will see the abolition of death, as we now understand
that great transition, and the establishing of the fact of the
soul's existence. The soul will be known as an entity, as the
motivating impulse and the spiritual centre back of all manifested
forms.”
b. The re-establishment of the knowledge of the deva kingdom and
angels and how to work intelligently with them; this has already
been occurring for the past fifty years in various communities,
groups and individuals around the world.
c. The new music and art that will unfold – unlike humanity has
ever heard or seen.
d. The mystery of electricity will be revealed in the “middle
of the 21st century”.
e. The closer approach of the great cosmic being called the Avatar
of Synthesis – working in concert with the increasing power of
the Seventh Ray of Ceremonial Order.
f. A greater expression of Love in the world.
g.
A merging of the esoteric knowledge with mainstream science.
To name a few! Gigantic Jupiter
and its cycles will be most important as it is the major planet
in this solar system that is the transmitter of the Second Ray
of Love-Wisdom; it is also the soul ruler of Aquarius. In other
words, the Aquarian water-bearer is a dispenser of Love to all
who thirst for it (and who doesn’t?); one does not have to be
an ‘Aquarian’ to serve as such, Aquarius rules over the World
Server and that is where we are all headed!
