The Alchemy of Creation

What makes you, you? For that mat­ter, what makes any­thing and every­thing in the cos­mos? Yes, from that pre­cious moment long ago when humans became self-aware, we have won­dered, “Where do we come from, why are we here, and where are we going”?

But behind these pro­found ques­tions, there is the first ques­tion, how did any­thing or any­one come to be?

When we look to the lat­est sci­en­tif­ic dis­cov­er­ies about the ori­gins of the cos­mos, and when we also look at all the sto­ries of Cre­ation, all the sto­ries, myths, and tales we have shared with one anoth­er, we find that they all con­verge upon an under­stand­ing that the Uni­verse, from a sci­en­tif­ic view, is formed by a hier­ar­chy of fields of Ener­gy and Mat­ter, a host of fields of vibra­to­ry res­o­nances; and when viewed from the var­ied Spir­i­tu­al Tra­di­tions, it is a hier­ar­chy formed by Spir­it or Mind and Mat­ter, equal­ly form­ing fields of vibra­tions which I like to call the “Song of Spir­it”, which is the Celes­tial Sym­pho­ny of Spirit.

Real­ly, what mod­ern sci­ence and the ancient teach­ings say about this Uni­verse is essen­tial­ly the same, for they all agree that we can under­stand the con­sti­tu­tion of the Cos­mos as being formed by a Field of fields of Ener­gy-Forms that shape and trans­form one anoth­er. So, what I like to say is that we humans and all of Cre­ation, are fields of Ener­gy-Forms who can be seen as form­ing com­plex inter­re­la­tion­ships and com­bi­na­tions, and these fields are pro­tean, so that they evolve into ever more com­plex forms by these vibra­tional rela­tion­ships with­in our­selves and between one another.

What we humans, and what every part of Cre­ation form is quite sim­ply the Song of Songs that are the One. The entire­ty of Cre­ation is a sym­pho­ny of vibra­tions, and these Songs of Spir­it by all beings from the great­est to the small­est form the whole Cho­rus of creation.

Today we enter that most spe­cial field of space we call Scor­pio, and at this time, and wher­ev­er Scor­pio is found in your chart, you enter what forms the beat­ing heart of Spir­it-Life-Con­scious­ness. For what is the pro­pelling ener­gy-form behind the whole of Cre­ation is held here, and that is the pow­er of Com­bi­na­tion, which is the won­der of Alchemy.

In the less com­plex King­doms of Cre­ation, from infin­i­tes­i­mal par­ti­cles to atoms, from mol­e­cules to the sim­pler forms of life, these fields of Ener­gy-Forms com­bine to cre­ate more and more com­plex com­bi­na­tions, and these com­bi­na­tions are pri­mar­i­ly formed and guid­ed by what we know as the phys­i­cal laws of “com­bi­na­tion­al trans­for­ma­tion” or what we call Chem­istry. But once we reach the tru­ly con­scious realm of life-forms, and espe­cial­ly once we reach the stage of self-aware com­bi­na­tion­al trans­for­ma­tions like our human king­dom, these process­es come to be shaped by more com­plex realms of Spir­it, by our Thought and Feel­ing Forms, and these trans­for­ma­tions take us from mere Chem­istry into the heart of Alchemy.

For us humans, whether it is the field of ener­gy-forms between Par­ent and Child, or Sib­lings and Friends, or Class­mates and Col­leagues, or dear Com­pan­ions and Loved Ones, we humans become tru­ly human by this Sacred Space that is Alche­my, because it is here in the holy of holies that we are both Trans­form­ers and the Transformed.

We pre­pare the way for this quick­en­ing, of what I call our “Self that is Becom­ing”, by “in-form­ing” the space for our Unions through Mind­ful­ly Just and Equi­table thought-forms, which comes by the Grace and Wis­dom held in Libra. But the real work of Cre­ation is what is before you now, for now you are in the Cru­cible of Union that is Scorpio’s Domain. It is here, in the Heart of Spir­it that you will meet and ful­fill the truth of your nature, which is that we are Spir­it danc­ing through realms of mat­ter, we are “Immor­tals in Mor­tal Frames”.

In this most Sacred Realm, in this Heart of Cre­ation, you will find that your path can only be met and mas­tered by Love and through Sac­ri­fice. In your Heart is Uncon­di­tion­al Love, and by this you can cre­ate, hold, and then release your Unions when it is time to do so. For this you also know, that on this side of the Veil, in this Mor­tal realm, noth­ing will last beyond the time appoint­ed to it. All “things” must pass, as your spir­it, like all of Spir­it, must move on to more per­fect forms for­ev­er and ever. So, whomev­er you have met here now in any sacred union, you may be assured, that you will meet again and again; and so, we mere­ly say to one anoth­er, “fare thee well”.

Like­wise, no Union, no join­ing with one anoth­er, or you with many oth­ers, no com­bi­na­tion can be made with­out mak­ing sac­ri­fices for and to one anoth­er. This word “Sac­ri­fice”, it means “to make sacred”, and it is by your sac­ri­fices to and for one anoth­er that you “give up the less­er and so hon­or the greater”, to affirm and build upon that which is with­in you, and what you now share with one anoth­er. It is by this giv­ing up to one anoth­er, it is by let­ting go and grow­ing, it is by this lov­ing sac­ri­fice that you move clos­er and trans­form one anoth­er, and so become much more than you ever could have pos­si­bly been by your­self alone.

This is how you grow; this is how the entire Cos­mos grows.

You are mov­ing ever clos­er to being a Co-Cre­ator of Cre­ation; now, you are the Trans­former and the Trans­formed. Here in the time of Scor­pio, and wher­ev­er Scor­pio is found in your chart, it is here that you expe­ri­ence the Mys­tery and the Won­der of being an Immor­tal in a mor­tal world.

It is here that you face the ulti­mate Truth; all things must pass away…
It is here you live the Eter­nal Truth; the One is Ever Lasting.

“Yea, though I walk through the val­ley of the shad­ow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they com­fort me…and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

In Scor­pio expe­ri­ence the Joy of Union, and the pain of separation.
Here in Scor­pio, you hear the Song of the One.

“There is no end­ing, there is noth­ing to fear…, for
I am an Immor­tal, danc­ing through mor­tal worlds”.

Tran­script of Radio Show: The Zodi­ac – The Field of Ener­gy-Forms, the Cos­mic Builders, and the One­ness of Creation

(If you wish to lis­ten to the show instead, here is the link on BlogTalk or Apple Pod­casts)

The Fields of the Lord
In this time of Libra, in this space that holds the realm or the fields of Rela­tion­ship, we are remind­ed that we, as I like to say, we are more like a “we than an I”. This is because of a foun­da­tion­al truth, that you and I are a host of ener­gy-forms; we are much more than a sin­gu­lar, sep­a­rate phys­i­cal organ­ism or any dis­crete kind of thing. Of course, this is true uni­ver­sal­ly, no mat­ter what form of man­i­fes­ta­tion or what kind of enti­ty or being we are con­sid­er­ing. Because this Truth con­cerns the Nature of Real­i­ty with regards to the entire­ty of Creation.

Whether you look at indi­vid­ual atoms or mol­e­cules, whether you con­sid­er the ranges of types of organ­isms, or com­mu­ni­ties of organ­isms or beings, the Truth is we and all of Cre­ation are tru­ly a field of ener­gy-forms that are immersed, sur­round­ed, inter­pen­e­trat­ed, and held by all the ener­gy fields and forms with which we jour­ney. The Uni­verse is in fact a Field of fields, a Holo­gram of holograms.

Cre­ation began with the One, who became the many, many ones that make up the Uni­verse. From the One, these many mon­ads or “sparks of the Divine”, the ini­tial “field of fields”, went forth to form all the var­i­ous orders, realms, and dimen­sions of man­i­fest­ed Spir­it. But we must remem­ber to see beyond the appear­ance of all these things, beyond the mate­ri­al­ized plane of spir­it, beyond our fix­a­tion on the par­ti­cles of mat­ter and to see what lies with­in and behind all these so-called sub­stan­tial forms.

We must start with the Truth, that all of Cre­ation is pure Spir­it; and pure Spir­it in its essence is just the most ethe­re­al­ized form Mat­ter, just as Mat­ter is the dens­est man­i­fes­ta­tion of Spirit…in effect, they are tru­ly one and the same, for all these ener­gies, fields, and beings are real­ly the Mind, Body and Spir­it that is the One.

The Zodi­ac
But just as all these Fields of Ener­gy-Forms unfold­ed from the One, so did what are known as the form­ing, shap­ing, hold­ing, and guid­ing prin­ci­ples which equal­ly came from and are of the One. These “for­m­ers of fields”, these hold­ers of form, are called the builders of Space-Time, and we know them as the Lords of Time and Space. Yes, these are the fun­da­men­tal Ener­gy-Forms that hold all the ener­gy-forms togeth­er, and you know them as the Signs of the Zodiac.

As I men­tioned in my show on June 13^th this year, the Zodi­ac is not some­thing “in itself”, or some­thing by itself. It is not sep­a­rate and apart from Cre­ation; in fact, we should under­stand that the Zodi­ac is the very Warp and Weft of Cre­ation. These Hold­ers of Form and Mean­ing are in every field and every par­ti­cle of Cre­ation, in all the numer­ous hier­ar­chies and orders of being from the most infin­i­tes­i­mal to the most immense beings that are the One made man­i­fest. These Elec­tro-Mag­net­ic or bet­ter Spir­i­tu­al-Mag­net­ic shapers of Space and Time came from the One. They are the Elec­tro-Mag­net­ic Heart and Mind of the One, and they are the Archi­tect-Builders of Reality.

The Pri­mal Ener­gy-Form of Cre­ation, Divine Love, is divid­ed into these Twelve Vibra­tions. That is to say the Zodi­ac, this Realm of the Liv­ing Ones, is divid­ed into twelve cos­mic elec­tro-mag­netisms. These Noble Twelve are known in the Ancient Wis­dom as the Builders of Cre­ation, so that these twelve are omnipresent, they are in every­thing and every­one, as the twelve-fold mod­u­la­tions of the Divine Love that forms the fab­ric of the Universe.

The Zodi­ac – Not Con­stel­la­tions but part of the Fab­ric of the Cosmos 
You need to free your­self from mis­con­cep­tions and under­stand that the Zodi­ac is not a band of space that is mere­ly around our Solar Sys­tem. The Zodi­ac is the Cir­cle of Spir­it-Life-Con­scious­ness, and it is all encom­pass­ing because it is the Pri­mal Ener­gy-Sub­stance of the Mind of the One that informs and forms all the Fields of the Lord that we know as Creation.

This Pri­mal Ener­gy Form is direct­ed and shaped through the Signs of the Zodi­ac by what is called Fohat, which can be under­stood as an instru­ment of the One. This instru­ment of Guid­ing Intel­li­gence and Love is quite sim­ply the prin­ci­ple of Cos­mic Life guid­ed by Cos­mic Intel­li­gence that informs and shapes all of Spirit-Life-Consciousness.

From the One came this Mas­ter tem­plate for the entire­ty of Cre­ation; and through­out all human his­to­ry, observers have not­ed how the whole cos­mos seems to be the result of some grand design, and that it is formed and held in intel­li­gence and by beau­ty. And we can under­stand and appre­ci­ate this Intel­li­gent Design and Beau­ty because it is formed and shaped by the Mind of the One, as our hearts and mind are too. Tru­ly it is said, “as above, so below”, and that is why we can per­ceive the Intel­li­gence and Beau­ty “out there” because it is our own true nature too.

The Zodi­ac – The Design Body of Creation
In effect, the Builders of Cre­ation are these Twelve, because this Cre­ation is sim­ply the Man­i­fes­ta­tion of the Love and the Mind of the One, guid­ed, shaped, and informed by these Twelve. That is why the Zodi­ac should be seen as an Elec­tro-Mag­net­ic Field of Ener­gy-Forms that pro­vide the “Design Body” or what is known as the Sub­tle Body for all aspects of Creation.

How does this work? These fields of Ener­gy-Forms, these Holo­grams of Spir­it-Mat­ter, inter­sect to form dis­tinct fields which by their inter­sec­tions cre­ate the par­ti­cles that we expe­ri­ence as “Real­i­ty”; that is, we expe­ri­ence our­selves in our mat­ter bod­ies, and our emo­tion­al, men­tal, and spir­i­tu­al bod­ies too. But real­ly, what we are made of is a mul­ti-lay­ered inter­sec­tion of fields of Ener­gy; and fun­da­men­tal­ly, these fields of Ener­gy are formed by the Twelve Signs, in var­ied and won­der­ous com­bi­na­tions with one anoth­er. Not only is this for­ma­tion with­in each mon­ad of Cre­ation, but it exists in ever larg­er and more inclu­sive com­bi­na­tions through­out Cre­ation too.

Just as you hold all the Signs with­in your being, like an Auric Enve­lope or Design Body, so does the Earth itself, and then the Solar Sys­tem and then out into our very galaxy and beyond to the entire cos­mos. And, since this mak­er and shaper of forms remains aligned to each suc­ceed­ing lev­el from above and from below, shap­ing each atom in you, every cell in you, to your organs, and up to the whole of you and me in our vehi­cles or bod­ies, this same align­ment of the Zodi­ac con­tin­ues up and out­ward to the plan­ets and stars too, as their shap­ing and form­ing illu­mi­nates your jour­ney here on Earth.

Yes, there is an order to Cre­ation where­in all are held togeth­er and guid­ed and formed by these Twelve. This true way of under­stand­ing the nature of the Zodi­ac helps us to appre­ci­ate how infi­nite­ly com­plex yet pro­found­ly con­nect­ed every­one and every­thing is with every­thing else. We are all our very own cos­mos of ener­gy-forms as a human being, but we are also held in a larg­er field of ener­gy-forms, and this pro­ceeds in ever more encom­pass­ing fields of holo­grams on up to the Solar Sys­tem and beyond.

We are all Relat­ed – We are all Holograms
This brings us back to the fun­da­men­tal truth held by Libra, “that we are all relat­ed”. We are all held togeth­er by these fields with­in fields of ener­gy-forms that form the web of Spir­it, the Zodi­ac of the One. In a man­ner of speak­ing, each of us indi­vid­u­al­ly is a Holo­gram, an inter­sec­tion of var­i­ous ener­gy-forms which form our unique self; yet we are equal­ly mov­ing through the fields or Holo­grams of a host of oth­er Life-Forms with which we share this plan­et, this Solar Sys­tem and indeed the Uni­verse too.

Those inter-weav­ings and inter­sec­tions, our giv­ing and shar­ing with our fel­low humans have made us what we are. We would be noth­ing, we could not be, with­out the many, many dear ones who are part of us as we are part of them. We have con­tributed to one another’s unfold­ment of poten­tial, and with­out our rela­tions with fam­i­ly, friends, col­leagues and loved ones, we sim­ply would not be human at all.

Yet we equal­ly are com­ing to under­stand that what we thought was spe­cial or dif­fer­ent about us, that we were social­ly shaped and formed as human by humans, (and yes, that is a spe­cial form of the inter­sec­tion of fields of ener­gy-forms or Holo­grams to be sure), we have come to see the intri­cate order­ings and inter-weav­ings with­in oth­er life-forms and species, as well as across and between species too. We humans hold only a slight dif­fer­ence of kind or degree from our fel­low crea­tures, for we can see now that all of life, and in fact all of Cre­ation is formed by fields of rela­tion­ships of beings and orders of life-forms with one another.

Human Sep­a­ra­tion from the King­doms of Life
We have shaped one anoth­er, but we have most cer­tain­ly shaped and inter­wo­ven our lives with many oth­er life-forms too. What we do to or for them, and what they do for or to us is deep and pro­found. But we have moved away from our ancestor’s rev­er­ence and more inti­mate rela­tion­ship with the life-forms who share this plan­et with us. We have drawn a line between us and them, so that we have cre­at­ed a space apart for us and the rest of life. And this con­struct or con­ceit, well this is quite impos­si­ble to jus­ti­fy or accom­plish, because every­thing and every­one is con­nect­ed, is inter­re­lat­ed, and is inter­wo­ven with all oth­ers. We should remem­ber what we have been told, that “what you do to the least of these, you do to me”.

Com­pe­ti­tion ver­sus Cooperation
We have come to under­stand of late, that some of the con­ceits of our human supe­ri­or­i­ty can be explained by our mis­con­cep­tion or mis­char­ac­ter­i­za­tion that the prin­ci­pal dri­ver of the devel­op­ment of the King­doms of Spir­it-Life-Con­scious­ness is cen­tered and steered by the so-called com­pe­ti­tion with­in and between species. But of late, we have come to under­stand (and remem­ber) that there is far more coop­er­a­tion at the root nature of the Cos­mos. The pro­found­ly inter­con­nect­ed and coop­er­a­tive real­i­ties in the so-called plant king­dom, or the insect or mam­malian king­doms is quite mov­ing and real. For exam­ple, the way trees help one anoth­er, com­mu­ni­cate with one anoth­er through what we now know as the Myceli­um net­work under­ground, is quite mov­ing and won­der­ous. I would rec­om­mend read­ing “The Over­sto­ry” by Richard Pow­ers for exam­ple, or his new book “Bewil­der­ment”.

It seems ear­li­er humans did per­ceive and under­stand this true nature of the coop­er­a­tive, inter­wo­ven, inter­de­pen­den­cy of life. But it seems many of us have lost it. Why? I would say it is because we are very much shaped as humans by our thought-forms, which is a very sig­nif­i­cant part of our Holo­gram of Ener­gy-Forms, and those Ideation-Holo­grams became dom­i­nat­ed by the fear-based con­ceits of pow­er and dom­i­na­tion as opposed to our love-based nature of shar­ing and equity.

Sep­a­ra­tion By Thought-Forms
To reach this degree of sep­a­ra­tion from the rest of life, we humans in our self-unfold­ment forged a new holo­gram, a new Par­a­digm of Per­cep­tion, a new Field of Con­scious­ness, and it did mark anoth­er step in our spir­i­tu­al devel­op­ment. We reached the stage of self-aware, self-devel­op­ment and this quick­ened the devel­op­ment of our intel­li­gence. By this we were enabled to stand apart from the world around us, to expe­ri­ence our­selves as some­thing apart, and this allowed us to change both our phys­i­cal world and us too in very dra­mat­ic ways.

But we seem to have cre­at­ed a field of per­cep­tion that con­tained a fatal flaw in that it was incom­plete, and by mak­ing this choice and form­ing an assump­tion of spe­cial­ness and sep­a­ra­tion, we divid­ed our­selves from oth­er life-forms, and more than this, we even divid­ed our­selves from one anoth­er too. Yes, we gained some spe­cial abil­i­ties by this divi­sion, but we forged a path that began to erode our humil­i­ty and com­pas­sion. We became God-like in our manip­u­la­tion of ener­gy and mat­ter, but we began to turn our hearts to stone towards the rest of life on this plan­et and even towards one anoth­er. And now, most cer­tain­ly, we are suf­fer­ing the trag­ic con­se­quences of our mis­un­der­stand­ing about the nature of Life and Spir­it and the fun­da­men­tal One­ness of Creation.

Giv­en our sta­tus of self-aware con­scious­ness, we have achieved the abil­i­ty to choose, well or poor­ly for our­selves and for one anoth­er, and equal­ly for the all the life-forms we share on this home we call Earth. By our intel­li­gence and rea­son, we have dis­cov­ered some of the con­di­tions and phys­i­cal laws gov­ern­ing the holo­grams or ener­gy-fields of the man­i­fest­ed or mate­r­i­al plane. But we failed to real­ize or under­stand the pro­found and man­i­fold ways in which all of Cre­ation, how all the ener­gy-fields and how all of life on this plan­et is inter­wo­ven and inter­de­pen­dent. Because of this sev­er­ance from the greater real­i­ty of Earth’s Holo­gram, we are respon­si­ble now for the break­down of the inte­gra­tion and integri­ty of life on this plan­et. We have tru­ly become the Creator/Destroyer gods here on Earth.

Our Spir­i­tu­al Crisis
But pre­cise­ly because of our sep­a­ra­tion from the Greater Real­i­ty, we humans are going through a Spir­i­tu­al Cri­sis, and the Holo­grams that are most con­se­quen­tial for us as Human, the Fields of our Thought-Forms, these are being bent and warped by fear, con­flict and grief. The per­ils we have cre­at­ed for our­selves, and for all the oth­er life-forms on this plan­et are very real, but the good news is this…we made these perils…and we can with our rein­te­gra­tion with the larg­er holo­grams of under­stand­ing on this Earth, and those above and beyond our Earth, by remem­ber­ing and recon­nect­ing to them we can find our way to right thoughts, so that we might be guid­ed by com­pas­sion­ate feel­ings, and forge a path of right action and heal our­selves and our world. What is need­ed, and what is indeed hap­pen­ing I would argue, is for humans to move through anoth­er shift of con­scious­ness, and by this we can choose to return to a bal­anced and inte­gral way of being and liv­ing once again.

We have turned against our own true nature; we have become in a way alien­at­ed from the entire­ty of Cre­ation. The Truth is that we are all relat­ed, but we have cre­at­ed a bub­ble of belief that fos­tered the illu­sion­ary con­ceits of “excep­tion­al­ism”. For­tu­nate­ly for us, though some may still believe that we humans are apart and alone, I believe most humans very much still embrace and are guid­ed by the encom­pass­ing holo­grams of Mind and Love that are ever-present in the oth­er King­doms of Life on this plan­et and most cer­tain­ly in the stars above.

The One is All, and the Lords of Time and Space are hold­ing us in their Wis­dom and Love, and we need only to open our minds and hearts to this Greater Real­i­ty and return to the path of beau­ty and love once more.

Let us remem­ber, and hold in our hearts and minds the Great Invocation:

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.

Johfra Boss­chart — Zodi­ac-Paint­ings — Libra

The Sacred Space of Relationship

There is only the One.

There is only the One Life, and One Mind, and the One Spir­it that is Creation.

There is only the One, who became the Uni­verse by form­ing the many, many ones that are the Body, Mind and Spir­it of the One.
And you, and all with whom you jour­ney, are a one of these many ones.

The Uni­verse is a Hier­ar­chy of Hosts, rang­ing from the most infin­i­tes­i­mal par­ti­cles of cre­ation on up through atoms, mol­e­cules, organ­isms, plan­ets, stars and galax­ies and beyond. And all these forms are in truth “Fields of Ener­gies” or “Rela­tion­ships of Ener­gy-Forms”, who are the embod­i­ments of Cre­ation known as Spirit-Matter.

Every unique Field of Spir­it is ensouled by its own Mon­ad or Cen­ter of Spir­it, what we call a Spark of the Divine. Because this is so, each and every par­ti­cle of Cre­ation is “Alive”, “Con­scious”, and shin­ing with the One True Light of Spir­it, which is the Ener­gy-Form that holds the entire Cre­ation as one.

And this Uni­ver­sal Root of All is quite sim­ply Divine Uncon­di­tion­al Love.

Each mon­ad of Spir­it is on a jour­ney; com­ing out of or from a Star, each par­ti­cle of spir­it moves through realms, bod­ies, and lives. And by these many forms and steps of light through the “Fields of the Lord”, this Spark of the Divine by these innu­mer­able expe­ri­ences, through cease­less unfold­ings and self-becom­ings, this spark lifts itself from unself-aware con­scious­ness to become a Divine­ly real­ized Con­scious­ness, an awak­ened being, a freed Mon­ad or Jivanmukta.

In this Jour­ney of Spir­it, every mon­ad is part of a host of sim­i­lar ones, who are in turn held in the fields of ener­gy-forms of more encom­pass­ing hosts. These fields of Spir­it inter­sect and hold one anoth­er so that in the entire­ty of Cre­ation all are relat­ed to all, all are part of and form the greater host that is the One. That is why we say, and we must learn to live by this Truth, that “We are all relat­ed, we are all ones of the One”.

In this Path­way of Awak­en­ing, we host of humans find our­selves at a most pre­cious stage. We are self-aware, and so we have reached the stage where we have the gift of choice. We can choose well or poor­ly, and by this great gift, we can learn to choose bet­ter and become bet­ter; we can more steadi­ly make progress and lift our­selves upon the Path­way of Per­fec­tion so that we can become con­scious co-cre­ators of Cre­ation. But as in the entire­ty of Cre­ation, we can­not do this on our own, because we are made by one another.

Today we reach that time of year where we cel­e­brate this fun­da­men­tal truth, “that we are all relat­ed”. Today we enter that Spir­i­tu­al Field of Life-Forms we call Libra. And at this time and wher­ev­er you have Libra in your chart, we are held and guid­ed in the truth that our one and true “Way of Being” is to love one anoth­er, as we are all relat­ed and formed into who and what we are by one another.

For this is the truth held in Libra, that we are made into what we are by all our “rela­tions”. The notion that you or I are sep­a­rate and apart from any­one (or any­thing) is one of the great illu­sions from which we must free ourselves.

We have been formed through­out our entire jour­ney that is Cre­ation, and most cer­tain­ly in this peri­od of being “human”, we are most def­i­nite­ly formed by all the oth­er “fields of ener­gy-forms” that shaped and guid­ed, formed and form us to the very end of days.

From the begin­ning, and in each and every life, you are formed and informed, shaped, sup­port­ed, guid­ed, and inspired; in one form or anoth­er you are loved, and you love, and you shared your love with your fam­i­ly, friends, com­pan­ions and strangers too. The feel­ings you feel, the thoughts you think, in fact all that you think you know of as “you” came from these oth­ers that you met with in this life and in all your oth­er lives too.

All these encoun­ters, from the most casu­al and tran­sient to the most endur­ing and deep, all of them must be guid­ed by the under­stand­ing of what you do here. You are in your space, and they are in their space; and now you must cre­ate what I call “Third Space”, which is the space we call Relationship.

In Libra, by rela­tion­ship, you cre­ate a new and “Sacred Space”, where your field of ener­gy-forms encoun­ters their field of ener­gy-forms and you togeth­er form this new space, the shared and sacred space of “Us”. In this “vir­gin ter­ri­to­ry”, you are to be guid­ed by the truth that we are all made of one anoth­er and relat­ed to one anoth­er. Tru­ly we are all part of one anoth­er, inter­wo­ven with one anoth­er, because we are tru­ly a field of ener­gy-forms that extend far beyond our mere phys­i­cal form.

What is held with­in this “Field of Dreams”, that is the real you, it is your true nature; you are a micro­cosm of the Cos­mos, and so is the one before you. And this is why you must know this truth, that who­ev­er is before me is anoth­er spark of the Divine too.

This means that the Sacred and Spir­i­tu­al guid­ing prin­ci­ple for you in this space that you cre­ate with one anoth­er must fol­low the path of True Free­dom. You must do every­thing that you can, and they must do like­wise, to make this new and sacred space, this new Field of Ener­gies, you must make it the very means by which you and they can be even more what you are meant to be than you ever could be with­out one another.

To do this you must be guid­ed by Love, and by For­give­ness too. You cre­ate this Space by Love, by extend­ing your love to them you are wel­comed by the Divine with­in them that is equal­ly with­in you too. But because you are not per­fect, and nei­ther are they, you must also take care of this sacred space by car­ing for it and your­selves through humil­i­ty, grace and for­give­ness. You must give one anoth­er this grace of spir­it, which will cre­ate a space where you will try but some­times fail, and then you must try again. And the way that you can do this is by humil­i­ty and grace, so that you for­give one anoth­er as you equal­ly for­give yourself.

You are on the Path­way of Per­fec­tion; and you cre­ate like the Cre­ator when you give one anoth­er the space to grow by for­give­ness, and this is the path of true love that is there with­in one anoth­er. It is the Love of the One that is in your heart and in theirs too.

You are the way to one another’s self-fulfillment.

You are here to love and to be loved; to shine with the light of the One.

Now enter the Sacred Space of Relationship.

As you bow to the divine before you, as you see the light shin­ing in their eyes, you say

Namaste.

The Great­est Gift            

One of the most pro­found chal­lenges you will face in your jour­ney of awak­en­ing is this: how can you find a place of hap­pi­ness and peace in a world that is torn and bro­ken by human con­flict, and by nat­ur­al and human-made dis­as­ters? How can you be hap­py when so many are suf­fer­ing; how can you be at peace when so many in your world are trou­bled with strife and con­flict? How is this possible?

The answer to the ques­tion of where you will find hap­pi­ness and peace has always been the same. Hap­pi­ness and Peace can­not be found in some spe­cial cor­ner of the world, nor in any cor­ner of the cos­mos. The place that you must start is with­in your­self; hap­pi­ness and peace are root­ed with­in your true heart and held for­ev­er with­in your lumi­nous soul.

We have come to that time of year, yet ever-present some­where in your very own chart, we have come to that sacred time where we give thanks to and hon­or the gifts that Vir­go brings to our lives. After the stretch­ing and striv­ing for greater self-expres­sion and authen­tic­i­ty in Leo, we all have need for a time to reflect, recon­sid­er, and improve our­selves; we all need to know and feel that there is good and beau­ty in our­selves and in the world.

After every Fixed Sign, (Tau­rus, Leo, Scor­pio, and Aquar­ius), the Cir­cle of Life moves us into what we need, the adapt­abil­i­ty and inte­gra­tion that fol­low in the Muta­ble Signs (Gem­i­ni, Vir­go, Sagit­tar­ius, and Pisces). These are the “Tran­si­tion­al Signs”, the Ener­gy-Forms whose pur­pose is help us move from one state of Con­scious­ness and Being into anoth­er. Tru­ly, it is in the Muta­ble Signs that we take what we start­ed with in the Car­di­nal Signs, and then moved towards ful­fill­ment in the Fixed Signs; and now we need to under­stand, so that by our Expe­ri­ence, Wis­dom and Love we may move into a greater state of aware­ness, accep­tance and understanding.

Much like its “cousin” Gem­i­ni, who is also ruled by Mer­cury (or Her­mes the Mes­sen­ger), Vir­go is equal­ly a sign of “The Mind”. Gem­i­ni is about the won­der­ful fac­ul­ty of posit­ing mul­ti­ple points of view, of being thrilled and delight­ed by our won­der­ous tal­ent for ques­tion­ing and re-ques­tion­ing, of fram­ing and refram­ing our points of view; with Gem­i­ni you look at your world with “the eyes of a child”, won­der­ing and watch­ing with a mul­ti­tude of approach­es and angles as you mar­vel at the mir­a­cle that is Creation.

Where­as in Vir­go, we use our mind to find the most ele­gant, ver­sa­tile, and mean­ing­ful way in which to under­stand our­selves and our world. We use our fac­ul­ty of “Dis­cern­ment” or “Dis­crim­i­na­tion”, and with atten­tion to the details, to the intri­ca­cies, inter­con­nec­tions, and lay­ers of the count­less forms of the many instances of spir­it, by see­ing the many in their mul­ti­ple con­nec­tions, we weave our under­stand­ing of the greater whole into the One. Where­as Gem­i­ni is all about fol­low­ing our insa­tiable curios­i­ty, Vir­go is about our mind’s gift for exact­ing analy­sis and refinement.

In this time of Vir­go espe­cial­ly, and as an inte­gral pres­ence in your body, mind, and spir­it, you will become bet­ter by mak­ing use of this gift of clar­i­ty and grace every day. Take some time to pause and con­sid­er, to clear­ly dis­cern what was and what may be, so that you may learn how to “do bet­ter and be bet­ter” every day. It is a time-hon­ored prac­tice among many who are on the path of spir­i­tu­al self-improve­ment to pre­pare for each day ahead by care­ful­ly con­sid­er­ing what lies before you; and then equal­ly close each day by exam­in­ing how you fared and how you might do bet­ter next time.

What­ev­er prac­tice works best for you, by what­ev­er means and meth­ods that help you to main­tain atten­tive­ness and mind­ful­ness, you will see that there is only one way to find the peace that you seek. It starts with the under­stand­ing and accep­tance that the only con­trol you will ever tru­ly have, and the only mas­tery you tru­ly need to acquire, is for you to lift your­self up by your self-aware­ness. It is by this that you stay on the roy­al or mid­dle path of self-con­trol, and this will lead to your self-mastery.

Vir­go is one of the prin­ci­pal por­tals to the expe­ri­ence of Ini­ti­a­tions. As in ancient cul­tures, like in the Less­er and Greater Mys­ter­ies of Greece and Roman cul­ture, and in var­i­ous ways on up to our present age, we have always under­stood that we must pre­pare our­selves for entrance into a fuller par­tic­i­pa­tion in our soci­ety and cul­ture. You must become a mas­ter of the tech­niques for life and liv­ing in your time, as you move from novice to stu­dent, and then adept and even­tu­al mas­tery in the arts and crafts of liv­ing a whole life, of becom­ing a whole person.

You only grow by tri­al and error, by learn­ing from your mis­takes and by your striv­ing to do bet­ter. We only grow when we try and fail, and then try again. Our so-called “mis­takes and errors” are the means to our sal­va­tion. Fail­ure and Growth are insep­a­ra­ble; you can only learn by dis­cov­er­ing what not to do and dis­cov­er­ing how you might do bet­ter. With Vir­go, by your self-cor­rec­tion and adjust­ment, yes by your humil­i­ty and ser­vice to one anoth­er, you will slow­ly but sure­ly lift your­self and one anoth­er high­er. This is known as the Path­way to Per­fec­tion, and this is the Gift of Virgo.

And most cer­tain­ly at the core of this gift is found the price­less reward that all have sought. Many believe that their hap­pi­ness and peace will come if they have rich­es or fame, or pow­er and posi­tion. But the Wis­dom Keep­ers and Sages know that these are not “things in them­selves”; they are mere­ly ephemer­al moments in the jour­ney that is life. The great­est gift, the trea­sure of trea­sures is found by reach­ing a qual­i­ty or state of being, a Way of Being that holds you true to your heart and soul. Yes, the great­est gift of Vir­go is to live with Peace of Mind.

The good life is a beau­ti­ful life, and it is found­ed, formed, and held true by the qual­i­ty and state of your thoughts. The whole pur­pose of meta­phys­i­cal, spir­i­tu­al, and philo­soph­i­cal teach­ings is to help you find the way to Peace and Hap­pi­ness. The Wis­dom held by Vir­go will help you to form the sacred tem­ple of your Mind. When the Lumi­nous path of Wis­dom is fol­lowed, forged by the del­i­cate and inte­gral bal­ance of your Intu­ition and Rea­son, you will achieve a know­ing and being that is lucid, self-crit­i­cal, and open to the ever-unfold­ing jour­ney of Spirit-Life-Consciousness.

Quite sim­ply and won­der­ful­ly, you will walk the path of the One, which is known as the Path of Beauty:

As I walk, as I walk

The Uni­verse is walk­ing with me

In beau­ty it walks before me

In beau­ty it walks behind me

In beau­ty it walks below me

In beau­ty it walks above me

Beau­ty is on every side

As I walk, I walk with Beauty.
