As the shad\u00adows grow longer and as the light of our world grows fainter by the day, we look for a sign, we wait for a sig\u00adnal, because we need to know that life and light will pre\u00advail, and that our path\u00adway will become bright and beau\u00adti\u00adful once more. For the next few days, the Sun will set at the same point on the hori\u00adzon, as the word \u201csol\u00adstice\u201d lit\u00ader\u00adal\u00adly means \u201csun stands still\u201d. But on the third or fourth day, around Decem\u00adber 25<sup>th<\/sup> every year, the Sun will begin to set fur\u00adther and fur\u00adther to the north, and the days will grow longer\u2026and \u201cthe Light\u201d of our world will return once&nbsp;more.<\/p>\n<p>Today we begin our time in the realm of Capri\u00adcorn, and at this time of year, and also some\u00adwhere in your very own chart too, we should bow our heads and get down upon our knees and give thanks and praise to the Eter\u00adnal, which is the ever\u00adlast\u00ading light of the Divine that shines in and through every one of us and equal\u00adly through\u00adout all the realms of Cre\u00adation&nbsp;too.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, the light divine is there in the Sun, but it is also found with\u00adin every speck and mote of Cre\u00adation, from the most infin\u00adi\u00adtes\u00adi\u00admal of parts of the uni\u00adverse on up to the count\u00adless galax\u00adies, because what forms every mon\u00adad of the cos\u00admos is the eter\u00adnal light of the One, which we humans feel and expe\u00adri\u00adence as the uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal Love that made all of this and forms us&nbsp;too.<\/p>\n<p>You have spent the last 30 days in the fiery realm of Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius, where you found the mean\u00adings of your life, where you shared your sto\u00adry and found the sto\u00adries and truths of the uni\u00adverse, and more per\u00adson\u00adal\u00adly under\u00adstood \u201cthe what and the why\u201d of you as well. But hav\u00ading under\u00adstood this truth of who and what you are, you should also know that it is not enough to sim\u00adply know the truth, no that is not near\u00adly enough. You are the liv\u00ading spir\u00adit, and your pur\u00adpose is to align your\u00adself with your high\u00ader self, so that you become, day after day and in life after life, an ever more per\u00adfect embod\u00adi\u00adment of ever\u00adlast\u00ading truth&nbsp;too.<\/p>\n<p>This is the realm of Capri\u00adcorn, and this fourth \u201cpor\u00adtal of iden\u00adti\u00adty\u201d holds the key to your des\u00adtiny. The four por\u00adtal points are: \u201cwho am I, who are you, where did I come from, where am I going?\u201d Yes, it is here at the fourth turn\u00ading that you must seek to under\u00adstand the mean\u00ading of your life, to know your pur\u00adpose and your path. But tru\u00adly where you are going is bound for\u00adev\u00ader to where you began, because it is your ori\u00adgin and your essen\u00adtial nature which form the path that you are on. And what is this seed? It is that you began as a unique, lumi\u00adnous spark of the Divine, a mon\u00adad wing\u00ading its way through cre\u00adation. Your des\u00adtiny is to be the quin\u00adtes\u00adsence of your spark of the divine, which is exem\u00adpli\u00adfied by you becom\u00ading an ever more con\u00adscious co-cre\u00adator of Creation.<\/p>\n<p>Then long, long ago you moved into the realm of beings who have reached self-aware\u00adness, and you became con\u00adscious\u00adly respon\u00adsi\u00adble for your thoughts and deeds. You became more capa\u00adble and respon\u00adsi\u00adble for your devel\u00adop\u00adment, and equal\u00adly and most impor\u00adtant\u00adly, you under\u00adstood that because you are human, you are also respon\u00adsi\u00adble for the devel\u00adop\u00adment of one anoth\u00ader too. You do not jour\u00adney alone, and you could not be human with\u00adout one anoth\u00ader as you have each become part of one anoth\u00ader in life after life. Yes, the only way you became a bet\u00adter human was by shap\u00ading, inform\u00ading, and lov\u00ading one anoth\u00ader&nbsp;too.<\/p>\n<p>By word and by deed, you have made what you are today. Day by day and life after life, you have learned from your past mis\u00adtakes, and that by fail\u00ading and falling and ris\u00ading again, by learn\u00ading what not to do and how to do bet\u00adter, you have become a bet\u00adter you. This is the fun\u00adda\u00admen\u00adtal truth found in \u201cThe Law of Kar\u00adma\u201d. Quite sim\u00adply and equi\u00adtably it holds the entire\u00adty of Cre\u00adation by the uni\u00adver\u00adsal law of \u201ccause and effect\u201d, so that \u201cwhat\u00adev\u00ader you sow, so shall you&nbsp;reap\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>But think what this tru\u00adly means. Your life is not \u201cfat\u00aded\u201d because it is made by you; it is forged in the cru\u00adcible of how you lived and live your life. What\u00adev\u00ader is before you today, that is deter\u00admined by what you set in motion before; and the future that you will meet tomor\u00adrow, that is being made by your con\u00adduct today. The aware\u00adness forged in Capri\u00adcorn is that you are respon\u00adsi\u00adble for what you were and what you will become. Though many will say that the mea\u00adsure of self-worth is found in fame or for\u00adtune or pow\u00ader. But what we find by Capri\u00adcorn is that the true pur\u00adpose of your life is to remain true to one\u00adself, to hold to the path of Self-Ful\u00adfill\u00adment; the worth of you is forged by being a bet\u00adter you day after&nbsp;day.<\/p>\n<p>As much as Sagit\u00adtar\u00adius is the sign of the search for and shar\u00ading of the Truth, Capricorn\u2019s realm is where the truth is made real by your becom\u00ading and being this truth, so that truth is lived. The climb to self-mas\u00adtery is ardu\u00adous but reward\u00ading because the end result is that you will become a sage, a tru\u00adly wise&nbsp;one.<\/p>\n<p>How will you know that you are mov\u00ading towards your ful\u00adfill\u00adment? The tru\u00adly wise are not proud or boast\u00adful, they do not claim to have all the answers or per\u00adfec\u00adtion. They will always offer their sup\u00adport and guid\u00adance to those who ask for it, but they will give their help with kind\u00adli\u00adness and gen\u00adtle\u00adness, with the com\u00adpas\u00adsion born of what they know you have endured and what still lies before you. They will always extend a lov\u00ading, help\u00ading hand because they are what you will be one day. Yes, as much as we are to be lovers of wis\u00addom, the wise know the heart of the teach\u00ading, which is the wis\u00addom of&nbsp;love.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, you have made you. And you are what you are as revealed by your moti\u00adva\u00adtions and your inten\u00adtions, in the man\u00adner of your bear\u00ading or what we under\u00adstand as \u201cChar\u00adac\u00adter\u201d, which is the emo\u00adtion\u00adal and the intel\u00adlec\u00adtu\u00adal, the moral and the spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal stature that you embody. You stand revealed by your under\u00adstand\u00ading and moral com\u00adpass, and from these qual\u00adi\u00adties and by your shin\u00ading exam\u00adple of ful\u00adfill\u00ading your respon\u00adsi\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties, you will take your place in the Hier\u00adar\u00adchy of Light and Love, as you weave your path into the paths of each and every one of us, and to the One who holds us&nbsp;all.<\/p>\n<p>As the world waits today for a sign that the ever\u00adlast\u00ading light will not fade away, we gath\u00ader togeth\u00ader and pledge to one anoth\u00ader our devo\u00adtion to the source of one and&nbsp;all:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\"><strong><span class=\"caps\">THE<\/span> <span class=\"caps\">GREAT<\/span> <span class=\"caps\">INVOCATION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">From the point of light with\u00adin the Mind of&nbsp;God<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">Let Light stream forth into our&nbsp;minds,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">Let <span class=\"caps\">LIGHT<\/span> descend on&nbsp;Earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">From the point of love with\u00adin the Heart of&nbsp;God<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">Let Love stream forth into our hearts,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">May <span class=\"caps\">LOVE<\/span> increase on&nbsp;Earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">From the cen\u00adter where the Will of God is&nbsp;known<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">Let pur\u00adpose guide our&nbsp;wills,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">The <span class=\"caps\">PURPOSE<\/span> which the mas\u00adters know and&nbsp;serve.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">From the cen\u00adter which we call Humanity<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">Let the Plan of Love and Light work&nbsp;out,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">And may it seal the&nbsp;door,<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">where evil dwells.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\">Let Light and Love and Pow\u00ader restore the Plan on&nbsp;Earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Path of Wis\u00addom The Sun \u201cstands still\u201d, and the whole world waits.
