The Hier\u00adar\u00adchy of Spir\u00adit, The Spi\u00adral of Light and Love, The Way<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Sun stands Still\u2026<\/p>\n

And the World holds its breath.<\/p>\n

As the shad\u00adows grow longer,<\/p>\n

And nature waits for a sign,<\/p>\n

You wait for the moment,<\/p>\n

The return of your Star.<\/p>\n

You have reached the last of the Four Great Turn\u00adings in the Astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal year: In Aries, Can\u00adcer, Libra and Capri\u00adcorn you encounter the Inte\u00adgral four-fold ques\u00adtions that cir\u00adcum\u00adscribe your jour\u00adney through the stars. In Aries you won\u00adder, \u201cWho am I?\u201d; in Libra you seek to know, \u201cWho are We?\u201d; in Can\u00adcer you must dis\u00adcov\u00ader, \u201cFrom Where did I Come?\u201d; and in Capri\u00adcorn you seek to know the ulti\u00admate ques\u00adtion, \u201cWhat is my Destiny?\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the Car\u00addi\u00adnal Cross, the Four Sea\u00adsons of each year and in all your lives. Each depends upon the oth\u00ader, and from these sacred Four Direc\u00adtions you find your way along this Path\u00adway of Per\u00adfec\u00adtion, the Road of Illu\u00admi\u00adna\u00adtion, the Lumi\u00adnous Rib\u00adbon of Light and Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Love that is the Ethe\u00adre\u00adal Essence form\u00ading all of Creation.<\/p>\n

Yes, we often think we are bound to our fate, as we strug\u00adgle against the weight of the past, bur\u00addened by our errors, our sins and mis\u00adfor\u00adtunes, our stum\u00adbles and our fears. And, as the shad\u00adows fall, as they do right now, we feel bound and cir\u00adcum\u00adscribed by our piti\u00adful mea\u00adgre form, and fear that our life is fat\u00aded, with\u00adout essen\u00adtial mer\u00adit in an unfeel\u00ading, soul\u00adless uni\u00adverse which cares not for our future.<\/p>\n

But you must know this: That the Uni\u00adverse is Alive, it is Spir\u00adit, and it is quite sim\u00adply formed of Life and Love. You have always known this, a deep and abid\u00ading feel\u00ading that there is some\u00adthing more about all of this and of you. You and I are part of a Great Jour\u00adney with an infi\u00adnite host of oth\u00ader beings. From the small\u00adest infin\u00adi\u00adtes\u00adi\u00admals on up to Heav\u00aden\u00adly Lords, the entire\u00adty of this Uni\u00adverse is Spir\u00adit-Life and it sings and thrills with Con\u00adscious\u00adness. We are, as are all Life-Forms that form this Cos\u00admos, trav\u00adel\u00adling through this Cre\u00adation in a great com\u00adpa\u00adny, form\u00ading a Shim\u00admer\u00ading Rib\u00adbon of Light that is ever bend\u00ading towards a Greater Awareness.<\/p>\n

We are Beings of Light and Love who in our hearts and minds think of one thing in the end, we hold one thought and feel\u00ading above all the shad\u00adows and bur\u00addens of long ago\u2026we are guid\u00aded from with\u00adin by a yearn\u00ading, a cer\u00adtain know\u00ading that there is a Des\u00adtiny to all of this.<\/p>\n

We can feel, even in our dark\u00adest moments, and most cer\u00adtain\u00adly shin\u00ading through in our great\u00adest tri\u00adumphs too, that there is a \u201cLeav\u00aden of Light\u201d with\u00adin, a Lumi\u00adnous Sparkling in the heart of one and all, that this Light stretch\u00ades back through ages and ages ago, and it calls to us equal\u00adly from the Future and from on High. We are all con\u00adnect\u00aded, back\u00adwards and for\u00adwards upon this Rib\u00adbon of Light and Love, and our Des\u00adtiny is most assured. Our \u201cNorth Star\u201d is pulling us home\u00adward, back home to the ONE<\/span>, whose Cen\u00adter is Every\u00adwhere and whose Cir\u00adcum\u00adfer\u00adence is beyond the bounds of Space-Time.<\/p>\n

We should not look back\u00adwards with fear or regrets at all, for we have learned in our over-com\u00ading, in our count\u00adless tri\u00adals and errors, in our stum\u00adbles and falls, that this is pre\u00adcise\u00adly how we rose to become what we are; we are what we have become because we fell and then we got up again, and again and again. Much like the sym\u00adbol of Capri\u00adcorn, the goat, we climb high\u00ader, and high\u00ader, and higher\u2026<\/p>\n

But we did not, and can\u00adnot do this alone or for our\u00adselves. We indeed stand upon all our own pri\u00ador lives, this is most cer\u00adtain\u00adly true. We have made our\u00adselves what we are (self-lumi\u00adnous), yet this is only because of count\u00adless oth\u00aders whose well-won tri\u00adumphs of Soul and Spir\u00adit helped to light and lift us up too. Our tri\u00adumph is theirs, and theirs is ours. We are made of one anoth\u00ader, and all our feel\u00adings, thoughts and spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal strengths come from our many lives lived togeth\u00ader; we have become what we are now because we lived for one and for all. Our shared aspi\u00adra\u00adtions, dreams and life expe\u00adri\u00adences are what has lift\u00aded one anoth\u00ader out of the dark\u00adness and into the Light.<\/p>\n

And know this, Greater ones than us, both in bod\u00adi\u00adly forms and beyond, have always extend\u00aded their hearts and hands to help us find our way. For those who have come this way know that they too were helped along this path; and, it is so with us, that we, in turn, will feel our kin\u00adship with all who fol\u00adlow, we will respond with Wis\u00addom and Love, and we will help those who fol\u00adlow, and so on, and so on.<\/p>\n

This is the Gold\u00aden Thread of Spir\u00adit-Life-Con\u00adscious\u00adness, this is the Hier\u00adar\u00adchy of Mas\u00adters and Pupils, this is the path of Light and Love\u2026and this, this is your Des\u00adtiny. This is the Por\u00adtal of Capri\u00adcorn; This is the Path of Mas\u00adtery. This is the Wis\u00addom of Love.<\/p>\n

The Path of Light and Love, The Riv\u00ader of Shin\u00ading Ones is the road upon which you travel.<\/p>\n

For some it is known as the Mid\u00addle Way, or The Noble Path, or The Red Road.<\/p>\n

But most sim\u00adply and beau\u00adti\u00adful\u00adly, it is sim\u00adply \u201cTao\u201d.<\/p>\n

It is The Way.<\/p>\n

It is from whence you came; and it is the way home.<\/p>\n

It is your Destiny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
