DAWNING OF THE NEW AGE

There are souls of great evolution incarnating on the Earth at this time. Some of them have not been present on the Earth for over ten thousand years. However, they are incarnating into an environment which they find hard to understand. Your world today is so out of balance that it is almost impossible for an evolved child to find the harmony necessary for spiritual growth. It is therefore imperative that an environment be created where these great souls can manifest their true wisdom and potential, and so allow them to be heralders of the New Age.

Responsibility & Choices

I wonder, as you read my words, if on a physical level you are aware of the responsibilities that have been placed upon the shoulders of all evolved souls at this most critical time in the Earth´s evolution. I wonder if you are aware in your innermost beings of the reality of the present world situation and of the choices which Humanity faces at this time. Yes, a new Age is dawning, but many other Ages have come and gone. You yourselves are aware of the events of the Piscean Age and know how its evolutionary cycle has unfolded.

You are aware of the human progress that has been achieved but, equally so, you can recognise the errors that have been made. You can see how Humanity has strayed from its destiny path leading to this moment of world crisis which you face today. What, therefore, is so significant about this new Age? Why is this Aquarian Cycle so much more important for the path of human evolution than any other age, than even the last Piscean Age which witnessed the grounding of the Christ energy.

The Aquarian Age

I will begin by asking you to visualise a ceremony of the ancient Druids, as they met to celebrate the summer solstice. Standing in their circles of stone they would wait expectantly for the sun to rise. They would know the direction and time of its rising, and as they stood in the morning twilight, eyes fixed on the marker stone, so they would be aware of the first rays of light as the sun began to rise towards the visible horizon. You, today, can be compared to those Druids, and the sun is but a symbol of the new Age.

At this time you are experiencing the twilight of the Aquarian Age. You cannot see the Age for it has not yet risen above the visible horizon but, like those Druids, you wait in anticipation for it. You cannot yet see its power and its light. You cannot yet know of the path of its evolutionary cycle. You cannot yet know, unless you are a soul of the highest consciousness, of the picture that this Aquarian Cycle will paint on the Earth.

From One Cycle to Another

Now there are some today who say that they know these facts and, because of this, they are misleading many people by defining the new Age according to their limited vision. It is for this reason that I speak now to all evolved souls on the plane of Earth at this time. Recognise that you are part of a select band of beings who came on the Earth to initiate and transmute, to help the Earth move forward from one cycle to another. You have experienced this event in many lives, in many cycles, and therefore you feel within you a sense of anticipation, the same as you would await the birth of a baby. You know that the seed has been sown, that the baby has formed itself, that the Age is about to dawn, and that at the correct moment it will come into life and will be touched by the same cosmic breath that awakens a baby to life.

You all know that the new Age is soon to dawn. You have within your soul-consciousness the knowledge of the part that you have to play in that birth, the individual responsibilities that you have come to fulfil, for you are the midwives of the Aquarian Age. Although the cosmic energy pattern is present, it still requires individual human activity to ground that cycle to come, in just the same way as the Nazarene grounded the Christ Energy two thousand years ago. It needed his physical presence on the Earth in order to become manifest.

Being Misled

But as we of the Spiritual Hierarchy look down on the Earth at this time we see everywhere that many souls of aged evolution are being misled. It is inevitable, at such a critical time in the Earth´s evolution, that the Forces of Darkness should be present just as much as the Forces of Light. Therefore as you strive to ground the energies of the new Age recognise that what you create now, what you bring into physical manifestation, will attract corresponding energies in the Universe as a whole. Hence the Forces of Darkness would like nothing better at this time than to subvert the path of the Aquarian cycle, for this cycle is destined to be THE GREATEST CYCLE IN HUMANITY´S EVOLUTIONARY PATH. It will surpass even the evolutionary cycle of Atlantis.

Many of you lived in that cycle and have returned now, as part of the karmic pattern for which you are responsible, to prepare the way for the re-emergence of the Atlantean energy. Recognise, therefore, that much of the evil that was present in Atlantis is coming to the surface again. As you look at the planet today, as you observe the quickening of the Earth´s vibration and note the increase in the frequency of natural disasters, the increase in Humanity´s violence, in its self-centredness, in its arrogance, so you cannot but fail to recognise that you are approaching a time of decision. You are approaching a time when Humanity, both individually and collectively, must decide on a path of action.

Divine Plan

To you, perhaps, the concept of Armageddon is frightening. It signifies the release of energies beyond the control of Humanity, but if Humanity did but know it, it rarely controls its environment. Because of its great intellectual progress Humanity has been led into believing that it is the master of its fate, that it is the master of the physical World, that Humanity alone decides the path upon which it walks. But those of you who are aware of the God in all things, who recognise that the Divine Plane alone manifests on this Earth, know in your heart that the cycle which is now beginning was planned aeons of time ago.

It has been seen on other levels and has been prophesied by many beings. It is a necessary path of evolution for this Earth. You are here, therefore, as witnesses to that path of evolution. Within your innermost beings is the knowledge of what is to come. It may not be with you on a conscious level, on a level which you can pull down into everyday physical reality, but within your heart is the knowledge of what is to come and the part that you must play in it.

Creating The New Age Cycle

It is, therefore, of the utmost importance at this time that those of you who have come to herald this new Age, who have come to birth this new child, should be true to yourselves, should be true to the spirit within you. You should strive at all times for purity of thought, word and deed, for as you create now so you are creating for the new Age, you are preparing the ground for the new Age seeds that will come.

As the sun, symbolising this new Age, rises above the visible horizon, and as you greet it as did the Druids of old, let us hope that you will be able to say that the ground has been properly cultivated and that the souls for which you are responsible have been trained and made aware of their responsibilities. We, for our part, pray that as the light of that sun, as the light of the Age, comes down and the seeds begin to shoot, you will be able to look back and say "I have been worthy of the trust that has been placed in me".

ABOUT THE MOON -- PART THREE

 

A Feminine Energy

Anyone who looks at the Moon, especially at the full Moon, would, I think, accept that beauty is displayed there. The Moon is soft, is feminine, is wisdom. You would associate nothing harsh with the Moon. That is the nature of its influence: for as the Earth is positive, is power, is outward expression, so the Moon is feminine, is wisdom is receptivity, is love.

Therefore, the female of the species on the Earth, being the wisdom and the creativity aspect, vibrates especially to the Moon´s influence. It therefore controls birth to a great extent. Every woman experiences the cycles of her body which, when medical science does not interfere, corresponds to the cycles of the Moon. Therefore, conception can, and should be planned according to its phases. The Moon influences birth not only in the Human Kingdom but in the other Kingdoms of the Earth as well.

Our Consciousness Increases

 I do not wish to go too deeply into Humanity´s spiritual bodies in this article, but for every influence on the physical level of which Humanity is aware, the Moon´s influence is tenfold on the higher levels. In particular, it influences the pineal gland, the receptivity, the wisdom, the learning gland of Humanity, and therefore knowledge and inspiration is obtained under its influence. Consciousness, also, can be increased under the Moon´s influence.

If you have not already tried it, carry out the experiment of trying to learn, of seeking to increase your consciousness, at the full phase of the Moon, for its powers given to the Earth at that time have great significance. Some ancient races were a little aware of this and established some of their religious ceremonies to take place during the full phase of the Moon. Some of the great Masters who have been on this Earth have incarnated, died, or performed significant spiritual acts, both on the physical and on the higher levels of life, according to the phases and the influences of the Moon.

Power Of Full Moon

 The Moon also influences your astral body while you are in the physical, and therefore it can also be a great aid to the use of this body, with all that is involved, especially in the field of psychic phenomena. So for those who seek to develop this particular aspect, this particular spiritual talent, the invocation and the use of the Moon´s power is, again, of paramount importance. If you were to sit in meditation under the light of the full Moon you would feel increased awareness, with the power flowing through your pineal gland and spreading throughtout your whole being. You would feel that greater consciousness, Infinite Consciousness, linking up with yours.

The mind and the brain are also influenced by the Moon. How you think, how you receive inspiration, how you behave, how you use your intellect and reasoning, are to a great extent influenced and controlled by the Moon. The use of its powers can lift those little shutters on the brain, the little valves which, consciously or subconsciously, allow in the vibrations of the cosmos, the experiences of the soul on other levels.

These valves are responsive to the influences of the Moon. You have heard of the expression "moon madness". There are not many who suffer from this affliction but, occasionally, due to faults in the mechanism of the brain, under the influence of the full moon these shutters open and pictures, or images, of other levels of life come into the minds of some people, thus confusing them and destroying the harmony of physical life.

 Phases Of The Moon

 This is the effect of the Moon´s power if it is not controlled. But for those who sit in meditation, correctly linking their consciousnesses to that of their Creator and using the power that the Moon gives, there will be moments of awareness which are both great and sudden. If the Moon shone upon the Earth continuously Humanity would not be able to stand its influence and so, wisely, it appears in phases. These phases are important for they cause cycles on the Earth. The theory of the four phases of the Moon in relation to the Earth is a treatise in itself, but if Humanity was only to experiment a little with the four Kingdoms of Matter, to see which Kingdom responded the most during which quarter, it would greatly improve the quality, the harmony and the understanding of its life on the Earth.

In the past, ancient peoples, although less advanced technologically, were more spiritually in balance. They understood the use and the purpose of the Moon and so could lead a more fulfilled, if not such a technologically advanced, life. If Humanity today was to discover today and use the Moon´s influence and power no one would starve. There would be no droughts. There would be no earthquakes. There would be few natural disasters except for those which Humanity itself caused.

Key To Man´s Progress

 The Moon is always ready to serve the Earth. Why do you look at it, why are you aware of its presence, without using it? Is it because in your intellect, in your ego, you consider that the key to yourself, the key to evolution, the key to spiritual and material awareness, is locked within this Earth and could not be beyond it? Perhaps so. But for those of you who can cast your minds outwards, who can look at the Moon, who can vibrate towards that orb of beauty which reflects so much, including the nature of life on this Earth, you will find the key not only to your earthly progression but to your spiritual progression as well, and even to the progression of the Solar Body in which you live.

ABOUT THE MOON -- PART TWO

Sacred Geometry
The Moon was created and placed precisely in orbit around the Earth so as to exert certain important influences upon it. Humanity today is slowly beginning to become aware of the mathematics known as the sacred geometry of the Earth. The same mathematics can be applied, only on a higher level, to the geometry of the heavenly spheres, for each of the planets is placed in orbit around the Sun and rotates along a set path according to a precise and definite cosmic formula.

In the Ages gone by Humanity has recognized and used this formula, and it will be discovered again in the New Age. The distance of the Earth from the Moon is most critical, and it is vitally important that Humanity does not disturb this balance.

The Critical Balance
Although Man has reached the Moon in his spaceships, his motivation for going there was not correct. Moreover, the use that Man has made of the Moon with his experiments and his behaviour on it has in no way helped to preserve that critical balance, and by exploding his rocket heads and by his experiments on the surface of the Moon he has endangered this delicate balance. This balance is effected and preserved by the jewels which are present both within the Moon and within the Earth.

The function of the jewels on which these two orbs rotate and balance can be likened to the function of the jewels within a watch. If you give a watch a shock and jerk the mechanism then it becomes unbalanced and fails: it is the same with the balancing mechanism between the Earth and the Moon. Of course the many beings on the Moon, together with their brothers and sisters from the other planets, have helped to counteract the effect of Man´s naive experiments.

Man should be aware that in these experiments he risks not only the Moon but the Earth as well, for if he was to explode a bomb of any considerable size on the Moon then the finely balanced relationship between the Earth and the Moon would be destroyed. When you swing a ball on a piece of string around your finger, and then let go, the ball flies away. In a similar fashion, if Man was to upset the relationship between the Moon and the Earth the two orbs would fly apart and the delicate balance of life both on the Earth and on the Moon would be destroyed, never to appear again.

Humanity´s Unawareness
Because Humanity is largely unaware of the invisible influences of the earth, how can it be expected to be aware of the influences of the Moon? Just as Humanity, for the most part, is unaware of the presence of the elementals, the fairies and the nature spirits, the angels and the many beings who appear on the higher planes, just as it is unaware of life on any of the other planets within this Solar Body, so it cannot conceive of life on the Moon.

But there IS life on the Moon. A whole civilization of beings dwells within it. Although they are similar in creation to Humanity, you would not recognize them as human beings because their bodies are shaped differently and they are much smaller in stature. But they do exist, with a high degree of civilization, under the surface of the Moon.

Life On The Moon
Remember that every soul that incarnates onto a planet builds a body for itself according to the nature of the planet on which it incarnates. You, who dwell on the Earth, build yourselves a physical body which is most suited for life on the Earth. You use the matter of this Earth to build your physical body, and the mechanisms within it are those which can use the oxygen of the air, the water and the fruits of the land. Your body is designed to live in the temperature range that is prevelent on the Earth. In like manner the beings who dwell on the Moon build their bodies according to the nature of the Moon.

A little concerning the conditions on the Moon is now known to Humanity, and if you were to sit down and consider what sort of body would be needed for life on the Moon you could perhaps conceive of the form and way of life of the Moon beings before such facts are discovered by other means. The Moon was put in orbit around the Earth to help in the Earth´s evolution.

The Moon beings are the servants of the Earth. The nature of their evolution is different to yours. They do not possess that gift of free choice which your Creator has given to you so that you can advance your consciousness. They are directed by other forces. They fulfil the role of the Moon, helping the Earth at all times. Their power is given to you continually, regularly, according to the cycles of the Moon.

Influences Of The Moon
The spiritual number to which matter vibrates on the Earth is four. You are aware of the four Kingdoms of Matter, the four Races, the four points of the compass, the four seasons and so on. The Moon, vibrating to that number, in your service, has four phases, or four quarters. Each of the Moon´s quarters corresponds to one of the four Kingdoms of Matter on the Earth and, during each of the quarters, the Kingdom associated with that quarter uses the power that the Moon gives according to the nature of the Kingdom and its cosmic purpose on Earth.

Humanity can accept that the Moon moves the water of the Earth because scientists are aware of the tides and have proved that its influence is responsible for them. Is it not strange how scientists, having realized that the Moon can affect the tides, look no further, for, surely, if the Moon can do this there is much else that it can do as well. In the present Age the human physical body is composed of ninety per cent water. Can the Moon not affect that? Of course it can!! Its influence is not only on the waters of the seas and the human body but on every aspect of creation on the Earth.

ABOUT THE MOON -- PART ONE

A Satellite

Within the Solar Body there is only one true star, only one that gives illumination and power, that sustains all life within its System: that is the Sun. The Being Whom you call God, the Solar Logos of this System, Whose spirit resides within the Sun, displays the degree of His evolution and vibration by the brightness of His illumination: hence it is impossible for Humanity on the Earth to look at the Sun. It is only when the Moon intervenes to cause an eclipse that Humanity can direct its gaze at the Sun.

Every planet and every satellite within this Solar Body is illuminated by the light of the Solar Logos, and each, according to its evolution and purpose in Creation, reflects that light. The Moon, being a satellite of the Earth and in close proximity to it, reflects the Sun´s light most strongly on the Earth and gives Humanity the visible moonlight of which it is aware.

Because Humanity is limited by the range of its physical senses it does not notice, it is not aware of, the light reflected by the other planets within the Solar Body but, truly, an aware person can see and recognize venuslight, marslight, jupiterlight and saturnlight just as easily as they recognize moonlight.

A Spiritual Relationship
One of the primary purposes of the Moon is to lead Humanity into a greater understanding of the Cosmos, for within the spiritual relationship between the Moon and Earth lies the key to the Heavens. If Humanity was to study and examine closely the relationship between these two heavenly bodies it would, to a great extent, understand creation in the Universe. The Moon, its purpose and power, is the key not only to Humanity´s development on the Earth but also to its development beyond the planet. Displayed before Humanity´s eyes every Moon-cycle is the key to the Cosmos, but is Humanity fully aware of this?

It is not my intention in any way to reveal the spiritual significance and powers of the Moon, for that is not allowed by cosmic law. Unevolved people may not be given the secrets of the Cosmos until they have awakended their consciousness to the nature and purpose of those higher beings around them, and of both their purposes on the evolutionary spiral. It is for unevolved people to reach upward, to search diligently, using their own inspiration, and to look for the answers that they seek. But so few seek those answers. Such is the nature of life on the Earth today that the Moon might just as well not exist!

The Solar Logos
To understand the relationship between the Moon and the Earth we have to go back to the time of their creation. Scientists today are busily examining the pieces of moonrock brought back by the American astronauts hoping that they will discover how the Moon came into being and, perhaps, understand a little of its environment. What Man is forgetting, however, is that although technologically he has reached the Moon through the use of his God-given intellect, in every other aspect of consciousness he is still a long way from it. He has to advance in many other fields before he may truly appreciate the purpose of the Moon and discover the true nature of its being.

Spiritual science, that is the science of the Spirit as opposed to the science of Humanity, states that the Solar Body of which you are a part was created by the Solar Logos, that Being Whom you call God, Whose spirit resides within the Sun. Just as a child born on the Earth comes from its mother´s womb, so the Sun gave birth to the Solar System.

One by One the Solar Logos threw off particles of Himself until the planetary system as you know it today was formed. In the same way that a child leaves it mother´s womb so the Sun gave birth to these particles, or planets. They were perfect in essence, but were molten masses that had to solidify before they could bring forth the true potential of Spirit. Over aeons of time these molten masses cooled and solidified and, aided by the angelic hosts, were helped to find their correct frequency.

The Twelve Planets
Ten planets were created in this way and had been in existence for many Ages before Your Creator, to fulfil His divine plan, gave birth to His last particle, His last planet. After this planet had left the Sun, the angelic hosts responsible for its development took their places on the different levels of vibration and watched and guided it as it cooled and crystallised. But before the mineral substances of the planet had completely crystallised it split into three, and from that one particle there came the Earth, its satellite the Moon and another planet which Humanity still has to discover behind the Moon. This undiscovered planet is the least evolved, the twelfth planet of the Solar Body, for the Moon is not a planet but is a satellite of the Earth and its destiny is linked to the Earth´s. The Moon has a vital part to play in the spiritual destiny of the Earth.

The Earth and the Moon were, then, created at the same time. The angelic hosts, the planetary and inter-planetary Masters, took their places on these orbs and, through their understanding of frequency and vibration, over centuries of time helped the elements within each globe to find their frequencies and to merge with the frequences within the Solar System.

Because of the cosmic purpose which the Moon has to fulfil it did not crystallize in the same way as the Earth. That is why scientists, when they look geologically at the samples of moonrock and analyze the data taken on the Moon´s atmosphere, draw the conclusion that there is no common link between the Moon and the Earth, for although the Moon and the Earth came from the same seed they are as different as a brother and sister can be in personality.

UNIVERSAL MAN -- PART ONE

There is only one race -- The human race

There is only one language -- The language of the heart
There is only one religion -- The religion of love
There is only one God -- He/She is omnipresent
(Sathya Sai Baba)

If it were possible for you to view the Earth from a distance, or even for you to be able to stand outside your own physical body, you would probably obtain a new vision, not only of the Earth´s and your body´s purpose but also of their perfectness and of their beauty, and from that you might realize more of the nature and purpose of their Creator.

Earth as a Whole

Looking at the Earth from a distance you would be forced to look at it as a single unit. You would not think of the individual countries that you knew existed on its surface but rather of the Earth as a whole, comparable with the other planets, the other stars and the other galaxies that you could see around you. You might almost consider yourself a god, for you would be standing above all the countries of the World, all the happenings, all the events that were taking place, and then, perhaps, you would begin to realize how those Higher Beings who control the destiny of this Earth look down on it in a similar fashion. They too see the perfectness of the Earth. They see its beauty. They feel the emanation of its expression: UNIVERSAL LOVE.

However, as you descend towards its surface, so the Earth, which before you could see as a single unit would now have to be split up into segments and eventually into continents. Soon you would begin to see only individual countries and to think only in terms of those countries. The vision of the "whole" would be lost and you would once more return to your physical casing with its limited vision.

Destiny Of Earth

Man is born on the surface of the Earth with an individualised consciousness. When, after many incarnations on the one planet within the Solar Body which is less evolved than the Earth, Man first incarnates on the Earth, he struggles to estabalish his identity in the human physical body. Once he has established his own individuality, his personality, he then has to learn to control it. Man has to learn to control his own will and to subjugate it to the will of his Creator in order to fulfil the destiny of the Earth.

The basic lesson which Man has to learn is to sacrifice the self, his own individuality, to sacrifice his personal desires and wants, and to consider the other people around him, not only in his own country but in the World as a whole. He has to learn to think not only of his own race, of his own creed, of his own part of the Earth, but of the Earth as a whole. It is in this particular field that Man experiences the utmost difficulty for, at present, although Man has firmly established his individuality, he finds it very hard to sacrifice that individuality for the people around him, still less for his country, and even less for the World.

Learning responsibility

Great motivation is needed to make Man unite together, to make him think of his country as a single unit and be prepared to sacrifice his self for his country. This usually occurs only in times of conflict, of war, when the emotion known as patriotism moves Man to think not of himself but of his country, and to join together with his fellow country-men to defend his country in the face of aggression. Indeed, were it not for this emotion of patriotism he would not unite together. In times of peace Man finds it difficult to make the sacrifice of his individuality even for his neighbours, let alone for his country.

If Man will not look after the people in his own country then, of course, he will not concern himself with those who live in other countries, and no matter what reports he hears of disasters, such as famines or earthquakes, he will usually ignore those events which are far removed from his own country. Because they are not happening to him or to his country, he thinks they are not his concern. This is one of the great lessons which Man has to learn, and until he has learnt the lesson of total responsibility for every human being who lives on this planet, no matter what their country or their creed, he will not advance along the path to higher things, to mastership.

Man has to learn to sacrifice, to help all the people who live on the surface of this Earth, to give freely no matter what the cost and to share what his country has with the countries that do not.

Remember that "matter" does not belong to Man. Just because one country is capable of growing food and another country is not, that does not mean that all food belongs to the country that grows it, for all the countries in the World cannot grow food and it is the duty of those who can to share with those who cannot.

Divisions and comparisons

As he advances along the path Man has to learn to sacrifice the self, first for his community, then for his country, then for his race, and finally for the Earth. It is only when Man regards himself not as an Englishman, a European or a white man, but as a man of the Earth, that he may be said to have truly evolved to his Earthly potential.

When you can say that you are a man of the Earth, that you regard every man on this Earth, no matter what his colour or his creed, as your equal, when you show as much responsibility towards him as you do to your own family, then it may be said that you have progressed to the level of an evolved soul.

All of you must try to think not in terms of division, of comparing one country with another, one way of life with another, one race with another. Try not to divide the World into countries and races. Try not to compare national customs and characteristics but regard every human being as an individual spark of your Creator, the equal of you in every respect, merely walking along a different path in life.

Your Own Choice

Remember that all of you, being at different points of consciousness, chose to incarnate onto the Earth into varying families, into varying races, in order to experience the lessons and the vibrations of those countries and those races. You chose all these factors before you incarnated, knowing that you would advance your consciousness to a greater understanding along the path that you had chosen. The path that is right for one soul is not necessarily right for another.

No Right to Impose

Where Humanity goes so wrong today is in its thinking that one race is superior to another, that one race is more civilized than another. The countries in the World today that are more advanced technologically consider themselves to be the more civilized countries, and they seek to impose their way of life, their conditions of life, upon all the other countries in the World. No country, no person, has the right to impose their will, their way of life, upon another no matter how correct they might think their way of life to be and how wrong they think another´s is. It is up to the individual countries and their inhabitants to change of their own free choice, without interference of any other country.

The Masters who watch over you as you live in a physical body on Earth do not interfere with you. They know when you are wrong, when you make mistakes, but they let you make those mistakes, they let you advance your consciousness through your own actions and decisions. There is no "Big Brother" to come and make you do something in the correct way. So, mindful of the wisdom of those more evolved Beings who allow you to act as you choose, allow other countries to make their own decisions too.
