She said that
so many of these misqualifications begin with the letter A—indicating
they are also a perversion of the Light of the Father, Alpha.
She added that “family mesmerism” is another manifestation
of Martian energies. It is human attachment based on blood
ties rather than spiritual ties. Perhaps this is why Jesus
said that, “Your enemies shall come from your own household.”
The ultimate
Martian misqualification is the creation of mechanization
man, the godless creation. The Great Divine Director speaks
of this robot creation in his book published through Mark
Prophet back in 1965: The Soulless One: Cloning a Counterfeit
Creation. He said, “There are those who presume
still further to consider that it would be possible for them
to create souls to inhabit the bodies which they expect to
create. But when men pause to think in terms of themselves
creating a physical body, they must realize that such an approach
to the manipulation of life would be akin to the very creation
of the universe itself and could reach that ultimate point
of danger upon which subject we choose to warn.
“You
have heard that Antichrist shall come, and even now are there
many Antichrists. Pause to consider the enormous karmic penalty
which would be exacted if man exercised the power of destruction
at the scale of a solar system or even a planet. Restricting
him to the point where he could be capable only of temporary
self-destruction would be to make him responsible in the main
only for his own life and a limited influence upon others.
Yet mankind do in this current hour hold the keys to a far
greater destructive potential than they ever realize and which
has held back the manifestation of universal good for ages.
“Let
me hasten to assure you, then, that there do exist upon the
planet creatures who did not come forth from God—who
are the counterfeit of the real manifestation. Many of these
are consciously in league with the insipid and insidious purposes
of the powers of darkness. They seek through conspiracy and
plot to ravish the world of its good, to set brother against
brother, to confuse, disturb, and destroy harmonies wherever
they exist. These function on the physical plane, utilizing
and directing their energies in a concerted effort against
the light. They are, however, the pawns of spiritual wickedness
in high places. And the league of the spiritually negative
forces with these embodied wicked individuals has resulted
in the slaughter of many noble souls down through the ages.”
The
Ascended Master Encyclopedia tells us that the beings
who live on Mars are on the astral plane, and not on the physical
plane. These are the lower levels of existence—the planes
of hell in progressively darker degrees. Archangel Michael
gave a glimpse of life on that planet:
“The
ultimate defeat of the Mother flame, if it occur as it has
occurred in past ages, is chaos and anarchy, where a planetary
body such as Mars is reduced to bands of individuals with
their private armies taking their stands here and there, claiming
their territories and warring against one another. This is
a frightful situation, worse than the era of the feudal lords.
We have evolutions of Martians in this solar system who are
warlike, who are robotic and who have turned the energy of
the Divine Mother to the misuse of nuclear power. Some of
those evolutions of Mars are embodied on planet Earth, as
we have evolutions here from every planet of this solar system
and the asteroid belts, as well as from planets and stars
far beyond our solar system. Earth is a crossroads of many
evolutions.”
The master
Kuthumi explained the connection between Mars and the Moon
Mother: “Mars was originally the planet of purity, the
purity of Mother’s light. By the acceleration of moon
misqualification, the fallen ones have created in place of
the culture of the Mother a moon mechanization, an astral
society and an astral sociology—and all of this through
the influence of the Moon Mother who has stolen the discipline
of the white light of the disciples and created the Martian
militarism as the focus in this white-fire core of the solar
system.
“The
Moon Mother has conquered Mars with her false hierarchy. They
would like to now conquer Earth. What they want to do is to
attempt try to transfer the microbes of evil from the place
where they have spawned evil to the next place they seek to
conquer. One way this happens is through our attention on
Mars. Sending of vehicles from this planet to Mars puts the
attention people on that planet, and this attention forms
the arc whereby the astral energies of Mars return to Earth.”
This is why we must beware of, and oppose any attempts to
establish colonies on Mars, as was recently proposed, even
in the physical plane.
In astrology,
Mars is a planet of action based on desire. Mars triggers
energy that brings action, but whatever your desires are,
that is where your energy will go and that is the type of
action you will engage in. “By hitching our desires
to the star of our mighty I AM Presence,” says Prophet,
“we can ride and subdue Mars—we can ride the bull
and take advantage of the true creative fires of Mars, the
pure white fire of the Divine Mother....Through mastering
the Martian energies, we can gain our victory in the white
fire of the Mother.”
Maldek
Maldek is a planet that once existed between Jupiter and Mars,
and self-destructed. All that remains is an asteroid belt.
The ascended masters describe the planet Maldek and what happened
to it. They also speak of a large group of souls on Maldek
who did not go through the Second Death and were allowed to
reincarnate on earth. These are referred to as the “Laggards.”
They also spoke of how some of the souls of Hedron who were
spared the Second Death when their planet blew up, were first
allowed to incarnate on Maldek.
Mother Mary
spoke of the destruction of Maldek in a Summit Lighthouse
dictation.
She said, “You have only to look at the asteroid belt
between Mars and Jupiter to find what a civilization did with
the misuse of atomic power. For that was once a mighty and
noble planet. The warring factions of that civilization could
not come into agreement in the reason of the Lord: Come let
us reason together, saith the Lord. No, they would not; they
could not; they refused to surrender their mortal pride, their
vilifications of one another.
“They
understood not that in hating one another they were hating
themselves. And so the hatred they sent forth came back upon
them in a mighty surge of explosive power. They actually blew
up their home and annihilated themselves with their hatred,
blew themselves to smithereens. And all that is left is chunks
of clay floating in space, unfit for habitation. Is this the
destiny that you desire for your star? I think not.”
The Ascended
Master Encyclopedia further explains how the Hedrons went
to Maldek, after their planet was destroyed: “Those
souls that had not completely fallen were allowed by God to
to reembody on Maldek. Maldek, at that time, was a very pure,
virgin planet but the incarnation of these hedonists also
perverted Maldek with the pleasure cult, whose motto is: Let
us eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.
“The
Hedrons were not a new evolution. They had great experience
in science and war. They were able to create weapons greater
than our most modern nuclear weapons, and inventions greater
than our most modern forms of transportation on sea and land,
or in the air. Eventually, they brought forth a nuclear holocaust
on Maldek and destroyed themselves again.
“Once
again there were souls thrust from physical embodiment floating
on the astral plane. Once again, life provided an opportunity.
The Lords of Karma determined that two-thirds of the evolution
of that entire planet were not worthy of perpetuation. They
were brought to final judgment and they passed through the
second death. One third who were considered redeemable, those
who were humanitarians, philanthropists, scientists, who had
resisted war and inharmony, who had resisted the misuse of
love—love as obedience and love as vision—were
allowed to reembody upon the earth.
“Thus
the earth is beset with a race of people who have a previous
evolution of the pleasure cult, of science, of creating babies
in test tubes, of creating all forms of life, of controlling
genes and chromosomes, of waging war. These people (who are
called laggards because they lagged behind the spiritual evolution
of this system) embodied on Atlantis, and they began to repeat
the same way of life, and so earth also became infested with
this pleasure cult.” To this I would add the Martian
energies of war, that must be transmuted by the Elohim of
Purity and the Archangels Gabriel and Hope and all who serve
the white ray of the Divine Mother.
The Great
Divine Director further described this in a Summit Lighthouse
dictation
entitled, “The Future of a Planet Read on a Scroll of
Cosmic History.” He said, “I would speak of Maldek
and of lifewaves chosen of God to manifest the principles
of freedom and brotherhood and unity.
“Micah,
the angel of Light, son of Michael, was assigned to those
evolutions while they were on Maldek; and the banner of that
angel is unity. Now if a lifewave uses the flame of unity
to come together and to meld the carnal consciousness, then
the end result will be the beast, the serpent that becomes
the dragon at the end of the spiral of its precipitation.
“Thus
the perversion of unity was the cause that was set in motion
that resulted in the flying-apart of the very atoms of that
planetary home when the two lifewaves evolving there–one
assigned to carry the Flame of Alpha and the other to carry
the Flame of Omega–instead of uniting in a spiral of
oneness, chose rather to amalgamate their carnal-mindedness
for the greatest holocaust that has ever been seen in this
solar system.
“Among
those evolving on Maldek were lifestreams and souls of high
principle dedicated to Truth, yet all were destroyed. In a
moment, in the twinkling of an eye, all were flung out of
their physical bodies into the astral realm. Two-thirds of
those lifewaves passed through the second death because their
consciousness was totally dedicated to the energy veil
called evil.
“When
a consciousness that is the gift of God chooses to crucify
God in the energy veil, then the ever merciful Creator expresses
mercy unto himself and releases his own atoms from the framework
of identity that personifies chaos, death, and discord. Thus,
you see, the second death is the highest expression of God’s
mercy which is expressed unto God himself and his imprisoned
energies.”
Jupiter
The Ascended
Master Encyclopedia tells us that Jupiter is the planet
associated with Saint Germain and the violet flame. It is
a planet of a jovial, joyous nature, that comes from the seventh
ray. Some of the finest chelas of the ascended masters have
originated in that planet. The ancients called Jupiter and
Saturn “the great rulers of time,” because the
cycles of conjunctions between the two planets subdivide time
into large units with observable political and economic cycles.
Jovial Jupiter
Whereas Saturn
holds the yang, masculine conservative polarity between the
two, Jupiter is a yin, liberal and more feminine force. Jupiter
rules the capacity to grow and expand spiritually and materially.
It amplifies optimism, good judgment and honest character.
People and places associated with law, religion and education—like
judges and the judiciary; ministers and churches; lawmakers
and elected assemblies; and teachers and educational institutions—all
have an energetic connection to Jupiter. Jupiter also rules
foreign and cultural relations, and good fortune. Jupiter
tends to amplify or magnify whatever it touches.
Saturn
Saturn is
the second largest of the planets in our solar system, and
the most distant that is visible to the naked eye. According
to the Ascended Master Encyclopedia, Saturn, in addition to
governing time, rules the government, the constitution and
the laws. Saturn rules people who are employed by national,
state and local governments. It rules the ability to organize,
to crystallize aspirations and to take practical action leading
to the fulfillment of long-term goals. It rules tradition,
prudence and stability, and land, agriculture and resources.
It also rules karma, delays and restrictions.
“Saturn is our
tester, our teacher, our initiator in the zodiac. It governs
the principle of limitation in its positive and negative expression,
and it can show where it is necessary and beneficial to set
limits. For instance, the limits on governmental powers are
a function of Saturn.
Saturn, the
Great Initiator
“Saturn
also rules the immune system, which limits the capacity of
pathogens to make you ill. But Saturn can also be expressed
as physical, psychological, social or spiritual obstacles
and limitations. These include the sense of pessimism or guilt
that inhibits successful action.
“Saturn
has other dimensions. It rules structure, concentration, crystallization
and form. In the social or political sphere, it shows how
power is organized and is indicative of a nation’s constitution.
Saturn shows how a person, organization or nation gains through
discipline, responsibility, perseverance, practicality, organization
and wisdom.
“Conversely,
it shows how people and nations may suffer from loss, delay
and restriction if they do not embody these qualities. Saturn
and Capricorn give people and nations the challenge to “do
it right” or suffer the consequences—sometimes
long-term consequences.”
Saturn is
often seen as malefic, and associated with unfortunate circumstances.
Saturn is a teacher, a tester, and a disciplinarian. Since
human nature is often rebellious, Saturn becomes associated
with hard times, difficult challenges, dictatorships and repressive
regimes, leading people to be pessimistic, depressed and victims
of their own sense of limitation.
The Ascended
Master Encyclopedia tells us that Saturn limits freedom
to self-discipline. It is the action of initiation under the
Great White Brotherhood, which is for the balancing of karma.
Under the influence of Saturn, we are tested by forces of
Light and forces of darkness, and by our own returning karma—positive
and negative. Saturn will never allow us to keep what we have
not lawfully earned. It will strip from us everything that
represents ill-gotten gains, shortcuts and misuses of the
will of God. As students of the ascended masters, we can choose
to see Saturn under the aegis of the Cosmic Christ Lord Maitreya
and call for the repudiation of the Antichrist, Satanic Saturnian
initiations. Like the “Prayer for the Invocation of
the Holy Spirit” given by the Lord Maha Chohan, we are
willing to pass through pain for the rapid transmutation of
karma, but we reject the false pain put upon us by the fallen
ones.
“It
was Satan who brought the Saturnine initiation to Job,”
says Elizabeth Clare Prophet, “and the Saturnine initiation
is being stripped of everything. This is a very difficult
period for servants of God. Prophet explains that Satan became
the initiator of Job in the absence of the Guru Lord Maitreya.
Lord Maitreya was rejected in the Garden of Eden, and therefore
the 144,000 souls from Venus, as well as the evolutions of
Earth, had to receive their karmic initiations through the
laggards, through the Antichrist, and through the return of
their own karma.
Lord Maitreya
Today we are
graced with the return of Lord Maitreya as the Cosmic Christ,
the personal Guru. “Therefore, as we face the energies
of Saturn,” says Prophet, “we have to realize
that we must first and foremost reject Satan as our initiator.
We have an initiator: it is the person of the Cosmic Christ
in Lord Maitreya, the person of the Savior in Jesus Christ,
and the person of our Christ Self as well as the ascended
masters.”
“Once
you earn your freedom under Saturn,” she says, “you
have earned it by self-mastery and you hold on to it by self-mastery.
Without that self-mastery you don’t make it with Saturn.”
In a dictation
through the Summit Lighthouse, Sanat Kumara describes the
beauty of Saturn. He says, “Blessed ones of light, as
I gaze out upon this beautiful solar system and behold the
rolling spheres, including the great concentric rings of Saturn,
and as I listen to the music of the spheres, I am ever mindful
of my great longing to see all this magnificence and beautiful
light and radiance communicated to each one of you, that you
may sense or feel the radiance of the Ancient of Days and
share the blessings I have long known.
“Mankind
have often felt and thought and wondered why they were not
elevated and raised to the station of a Cosmic Being or a
God. Blessed ones, there is that constant known to you as
time. The purposes of the Eternal Father are, as you are well
aware, to bring everyone to a state of absolute God-peace
and bliss, but there is always the element of time, the cycles
of evolution. Therefore I commend you to the patience of your
own I AM Presence.
“I commend
you to the patience of blessed Gautama, who spoke to you last
evening. I commend you to his patience that you may learn
to wait expectantly for the manifestation of every good and
gracious and perfect thing within your lifestream.”
Uranus
The
Ascended Master Encyclopedia tells us that in the study
of astrology, the planet Uranus is known as the Great Awakener.
Uranus conveys the impulse for freedom. It rules revolution
and ideologies that promote either freedom or political agitation
and repression. Most especially, Uranus rules sudden, unpredictable
and explosive change.
Astrology
has an old adage: Jupiter makes the law, Saturn preserves
the law, and Uranus breaks the law. That reminds me of the
Hindu Trinity—Brahma, the Lawgiver, Vishnu the Preserver
and Shiva the Destroyer. “Ideally, Prophet says, “we
would like Uranus to assist us in breaking the law of our
karma, thereby opening the way for divine mercy, mitigation
and the true rapprochement of our souls with Jesus Christ.”
Freedom Loving Uranus
Whenever an
astrological configuration triggers karmic reckoning, repentance
is in order. “We must call upon the law of forgiveness,”
says Prophet, “imploring the mercy of God for our disobedience
to his laws. And the Holy Spirit, who is represented in the
Hindu Trinity in the person of Shiva, has given us the violet
flame as the alchemy for personal and planetary transmutation
in the New Age. We must dedicate our violet flame decrees
to transmute all misqualifications of God’s energy.
This will insure that all changes mandated in our life by
our karma that are triggered by the planetary influence of
Uranus will bring positive resolution, according to God’s
will.
Divine Mother by
Self Realization Fellowship
“In order
to get on the right side of Uranus,” says Prophet, “we
must forsake all our negative vibrations. If we are going
to benefit from the positive energy of Uranus, we must have
already embraced the will of God as the guiding star of our
lives and come to the conclusion that, no matter what it takes,
we desire to right all past wrongs and pursue change for the
better.
“Each
one of us can achieve this change as we align ourselves with
our Inner Teacher (our Holy Christ Self), pursue our personal
walk with God, and know Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
Accepting his grace and his salvation, we must nonetheless
be willing to take responsibility for our karma and come to
grips with it by practical and spiritual means.”
“If
people are not ready and willing to change their ways, if
they are relentless in violating the laws of God instead of
preparing to meet their God, then the impact of Uranus will
be the triggering of a karma, long held in abeyance by Opportunity’s
hand, whose time has come.
“Uranus
is the thief that comes in the night to strip from us all
ill-gotten gains, to leave us naked before our God. And if
we do nothing to get ready for his appointed round, we will
awaken to a world without options—only karmic toil by
the sweat of the brow.
“Uranus
will have a different effect on each of us, depending on how
it aspects our birth chart and whether we have made our peace
with God and man. How we experience Uranus will also depend
on whether we have the will to embrace our karma, the courage
to see it through and the bulldog tenacity to come out on
the other side with balanced accounts.
“When
the day of the reckoning of our karmic accounts is at hand,
we have to wake up to the fact that the universe isn’t
going to carry our accounts for us! Unfortunate indeed are
those who expect it to.
“Uranus
can bring change for the better just as easily as it can bring
change for the worse. Uranus often triggers a situation that
can liberate a person or a nation from a limiting condition
in a swift and unsettling manner, such as an accident or disaster,
the loss of a job, a divorce, a strike or a revolution.
“We
can see in Uranus the hand of the Guru or the heart of the
Cosmic Christ that strips from us, even in a painful way,
those things that could kill the body or destroy the soul
in hell. Like surgery for cancer—the sacrifice of an
organ so that the body itself will survive—or the dissolution
of a dangerous alliance.”
Uranus is
like Jesus saying, “And if thy right eye offend thee,
pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable
for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that
thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if thy right
hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it
is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish,
and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.”
Prophet continues:
“Such swift, sudden changes of Uranus bespeak the intercession
of a power greater than our own, without which we may not
experience the resolution of our souls with God.
“There
is almost always a freedom-producing silver lining associated
with Uranus-triggered events—if you look for it, if
you humbly assimilate the lesson and go on. One thing is certain
about Uranus: it will never fail to get your attention.”
Neptune
The Ascended
Master Encyclopedia tells us that Neptune is the planet
of mysticism, spirituality and illumination. It is also the
planet of chaos, confusion, illusion, delusion, deception,
treachery and scandal. Neptune is associated with drugs, addictions
and any and all methods of avoiding or escaping reality.
Neptune rules
the ocean, liquids, swamps, drugs, medicines, gases and poisons.
In the social sphere it rules democratic and popular movements,
the common people, epidemics, social unrest and socialism.
Neptune also governs the national taste for music and the
arts.
The mystical Neptune
Pallas Athena spoke about Neptunian illusion and delusion
in a dictation
published through the Summit Lighthouse. She said, “This
Neptunian delusion, beloved, causes people to enter into denial,
to not read about or work diligently about those areas in
the social life of this nation and the world.
“Therefore,
not to tackle the question of drugs, not to tackle education,
not to go after the drug lords in South America and around
the world—all of this is denial, wishful thinking as
people enter into their so-called New Age movements and are
fascinated by this and that form of psychic involvement.
“This
Neptunian delusion, which is a national disease and has been
since the founding of this nation, must be looked at squarely.
There are levels upon levels upon levels of maya, and you
must see that there is maya everywhere. And if you would see
clearly and see spiritually, you must have the gifts of the
Holy Spirit. Pursue them and work for them. Otherwise, this
nation can easily be taken over one way or another, whether
it is by the destruction of entire generations through drugs
or that which we have spoken of as war.
“I ask
you to pray for the members of this nation. And I ask you
daily, when you give your Astrea calls, to always call for
the clearing of the astrology of every man, woman and child
in this nation, the astrology of Neptunian delusion, so that
they will have clear minds and clear seeing.”
Saint Germain
described Neptunian illusion and delusion and wishful thinking.
He said it was like “seeing through the water or seeing
through a glass darkly. It is a time when things seem better
than what they are, when illusion is rampant, and wishful
thinking and the putting of one’s head into the sand
of selfishness and self-love, not wanting to see the handwriting
on the wall.” He asked us, together with Archangel Uriel
to call for the binding and the transmutation of all Neptunian
delusion and illusion. “Let it be pierced and stripped
from you!” said Justinius, Captain of Seraphic Bands.
When we think
about overcoming Neptunian illusion and delusion, we can think
about the story of Theseus in Greek mythology. Prophet describes
this initiation. “The Minotaur, which
was slain by Theseus, was the personality in man, half animal
and half man. Theseus typifies the higher self, who had been
gradually developing and gathering strength until at last
he can wield the sword of his divine father, the Spirit. Guided
through the labyrinth of illusion which constitutes these
lower planes, by the thread of occult knowledge given him
by Ariadne—who represents intuition, the higher self
is enabled to slay the lower and escape safely from the web
of illusion, Yet there remains for him the danger that, developing
intellectual pride, he may neglect intuition.”
Pluto
The plane
Pluto was first discovered in 1930. However, it differs from
the other planets in a number of ways. It has an orbit that
is in a different plane, and the orbit is eccentric, with
portions inside the orbit of Neptune It is only slightly larger
than the Moon.
The
Ascended Master Encyclopedia explains that the planet
Pluto is an outpost of darkness. It is where the nucleus of
absolute Evil is found in the cosmos. In Greek mythology,
Pluto was the god of the underworld. Pluto’s oldest
name is Hades, the underworld, or the infernal region. This
is the home of the dead beneath the earth, and a focus for
the fallen ones. . The gates of the underworld were guarded
by Cerberus, a three-headed dog who prevented souls from ever
leaving. Heroes and virtuous people went either to the Elysian
Fields or to eternal life in the Isles of the Blessed where
the golden age was recreated.
Pluto, who
ruled the underworld with his wife, Persephone, was an inexorable
god, hated and feared by gods and men. Later, popular ideas
about his character underwent a remarkable transformation.
Instead of a life-hating god of death, he became a god of
abundance. Pluto means “giver of wealth.” Pluto’s
association with wealth is the basis of the word “plutocrat”—one
who wields great power and abuses it to obtain wealth, and
one who obtains power through wealth. So a plutocrat is one
of wealth who abuses power
The fallen
ones and plutocrats are experts at amassing wealth to dodge
their karma. Phylos the Tibetan told us in his dictation:
“You have heard that this is called karma-dodging. Many
practice it. They amass power and wealth and place this between
themselves and their returning calamities. So long may they
dodge, but the day does come when there does descend the horrendous
karma held back by manipulation of past artists of the black
arts.”
The Great Divine
Director also speaks about it in The Soulless One.
He writes: “And thus the laggards and the fallen ones
taught mankind how to dodge returning karma, how to dodge
the effects of causes they had set in motion. This also preserves
the wealth within families century after century, guarding
that wealth and therefore preventing lifestreams from the
karma of having deprived others of wealth or of having to
earn their daily bread by the sweat of their brow. Today,
as always, they occupy positions of authority and financial
power. They have gained control of the destiny of empires,
and they seek ever to thwart the pure purposes of God. The
injudicious use of taxation exerted by their direction has
placed an unconscionable yoke upon the neck of humanity.”
Elizabeth
Clare Prophet expounds on the nature of Pluto: “Although
many astrologers believe Pluto’s vibration has a positive,
regenerative side, it is undeniably associated with death,
and its influence is often highly destructive. Among other
things, it rules the radioactive element plutonium.
“In
all branches of astrology, Pluto is associated with cataclysmic
events, such as the onset of wars and the fall or death of
rulers. It rules all things secretive and the instinct for
self-destruction. In mundane astrology—the astrology
of nations and world events—Pluto rules abuse of power
in all forms; all things hidden and secret; widespread death
and destruction especially from war, nuclear energy, toxic
substances; tyrants, spy activities and secret police; power
struggles, terrorism and totalitarian states.
“Pluto
tends to deny or destroy an individual’s highest expression
in the sign, planet, and house where it appears by birth,
progression or transit.” Though it can precede some
form of regeneration or transformation, it is always the sign
of the crucifixion.
The
Ascended Master Encyclopedia tells us that Pluto entered
Aquarius on March 23, 2023, and will be there until the year
2043. The sign of Aquarius is associated with freedom, revolution
and technological and social innovation. It rules progress
and the future. While Aquarius rules groups and group activity,
it also gives the impulse to individuality. Those born under
the sign of Aquarius are often highly original in their approach
to matters. Aquarius rules the dissemination of ideas and
information. In its negative expression, Aquarius can be expressed
as tyranny or anarchy rather than freedom.
We may well
see positive and negative aspects of Aquarius come to the
fore in this cycle, as we saw the previous time Pluto was
in Aquarius, from 1778 to 1798. This period included the American
War of Independence and the French Revolution, including the
Reign of Terror. It was a period of fundamental change in
the structures of society, the overthrow of an old order and
the establishment of a new. We saw both the greater freedom
of the American Revolution, and the rise of tyranny in the
Reign of Terror.
To overcome
the challenges of Pluto on a personal, national and planetary
scale, we can call upon the beneficent energies of other planets
and systems of worlds to help us, including the Pleiades,
the Great Central Sun on Sirius, and the Violet Planet.
The Violet
Planet
The Ascended
Master Encyclopedia tells us that the Violet Planet is
a golden-age planet at the etheric level whose evolutions
have served and invoked the violet flame for aeons. The millions
of souls who inhabit that planet include 144,000 priests and
priestesses of the sacred fire, who tend the violet flame
day and night and perform ceremonies and rituals of the violet
flame on thousands of altars. Omri-Tas is the Ruler of the
Violet Planet. He is a Cosmic Being and his aura carries such
an intensity of violet flame that it exceeds the size of planet
earth.
The evolutions
of the Violet Planet use the violet flame to tend to all the
needs of daily life—to clean their homes, to care for
and purify the planet, and even to wash and bathe in. Menial
chores are performed by violet flame angels and elemental
nature spirits. This allows the people time to pursue the
path of adeptship and to serve other planetary homes.
Omri-Tas described
one of the temples of the Violet Planet in a dictation, as
he was standing in a mighty pool of light. He said: “I
shall describe it to you that you may know the beauty of its
wonders. This pool is seventy feet and circular. There is
a shimmering, magnificent, yellow-colored water, which flashes
like electric sparks across the center of this pool. There
are seven circular steps which lead up to it. There are seven
columns around it. These are of white marble and rise high
into the atmosphere. The canopy is quite naturally circular,
and a beautiful flow of starry flames pours down from the
center. This pool, then, which dwells upon the Violet Planet
stands in the center of a great amphitheater where the priests
assemble when we give our sacred invocations.
Violet Flame Temple
www.ascendedmasterindex.net
“I have
chosen to describe this unto you that you may receive somewhat
the setting from whence I am speaking, and may realize the
wonders of a civilization that is free from commercialization,
from disharmony, from disunity and all of those attendant
causes of distress....As I stand now upon a tiny, white, circular
dais raised within the very center of this pool, I see beneath
my feet this shimmering, beautiful, magnetic, yellow-colored
water, which flashes with such iridescence and wonder that
it is difficult to find words in your own language to describe
it unto you....
“The
marble platform that extends out around this beautiful center-domed
temple of light is a pale orange in color. It is set with
many white stones sprinkled in it, and the entire effect is
magnificent to behold. Many of the priests of our brotherhood
here upon the Violet Planet are now lighting canisters...filled
with a special form of electronic energy that releases a stream
of violet light in such a manner as to highlight the entire
sky and atmosphere around our temple. The color you see of
the sky upon our planet is actually not violet—it is
blue like your own. But in order to create the proper atmosphere
in this outdoor setting, we utilize a special electromagnetic
forcefield whereby even in broad daylight we are able to project
from these canisters, focused around the central area of our
temple, a radiant color of violet that fills the entire atmosphere.
“The
effect of the violet reflected in the scintillating yellow
pool is magnificent to behold. But there is a spiritual purpose
that is conveyed in this magnificent symbol. For there is
a special electromagnetic field that pulsates from the water
to the top of the tower and enables us to amplify the violet
flame in such a manner that throughout the length and breadth
of our land, the homes of all of the people upon this planet
receive a charge of violet fire in much the same manner that
you convey your electrical current upon transmission lines.
This violet fire can be contacted by our people and used on
special instruments for combing their hair, for washing themselves
and, in other ways, for cleansing their homes.”
Omri-Tas revealed
that the evolutions of the Violet Planet had once approached
a similar crisis as that faced today by the people of earth.
“It was in that hour—when some of you were even
a part of our evolutions—that the then Lightbearers
of our system did rally to our call. Circumstances were similar
to those you now have upon this earth, with fallen angels
moving among the people and leading them astray, pursuing
their divide-and-conquer tactics, blurring the issues, deceiving
the elect of God.
“There
was a rallying by the then representative of the Divine Mother,
who moved in the midst of our people. And that one did appeal
to their hearts, and the message was transmitted round that
planet until all servants of God were galvanized, even by
the power of her heart and the Great Central Sun Magnet. They
were quickened, almost as though they were suddenly in another
dimension, and they awakened to the urgency of the hour! Beloved,
they responded before even greater odds than you face today.
They turned the tide with the violet flame.
“They
heard the call to give their invocations at altars around
that planet. There was a saturation of the planetary body
with the violet flame. That saturation, therefore, did flush
out the fallen angels, who then could be bound by the legions
of light and removed.... We went on into a golden age because
of the few who responded, and today that planet is sustained
in that golden age because the people have not lost the memory
of that which was almost a planetary holocaust.”
Speaking of
invoking the spiritual assistance of the priests and priestesses
of the violet planet in our prayers and invocations for the
saving of earth, Sanat Kumara said, “Blessed hearts,
there is a response to your striving and to your giving of
yourselves. There is a response from other systems. There
is a response from the Violet Planet. There is a response
from planets beyond this solar system and then those that
are light-years beyond even this galaxy.”
Sirius, the
God Star
The Ascended
Master Encyclopedia tells us that the God Star Sirius,
also known as the “Dog Star,” is the seat of God-government
in this sector of our galaxy. Astronomers say it is a binary
star in the constellation Canis Major, and the brightest star
in the heavens.
Sirius was
known to the ancients as the “Royal One,” and
we find much information about it in Ancient Egyptian lore.
Its name is generally thought to be derived from the Greek
word for “sparkling” and associated with Surya
in the Hindu tradition, “the Shining One.” In
Hinduism, Surya is god of the sun.
Astronomer
say that the brighter of the two stars, is a blue-white star
that is twenty-three times as bright as our sun. The binary
star is a white dwarf star that is not visible to the naked
eye.
Prophet said,
“In a spiritual sense, all have come from Sirius. It
is our point of origin and our home, at the deepest level
of our being. As Jesus said, In my Father’s house are
many mansions.... I go to prepare a place for you. So we understand
that there is indeed a mansion, a castle of light on Sirius,
our original home that we left so long ago.”
The ascended
master Cuzco gave us a beautiful description of life on Sirius,
which is taking place on the etheric plane. He said, “
As you hear the waves of the sea upon the shore of life and
of earth, you are transported to that magnificent sea on the
God Star, your Home. You recall that there on Sirius, that
wave of Light and of the sea does come upon the shore in the
most magnificent place that you could ever conceive. Thus
your longing for Home is very great; but you have chosen to
sojourn here on this darkened star, for many that you have
loved long are here. And your love for
God is great and to be the rescuers of those who are of God
is your calling.”
Elohim Astrea www.ascendedmasterindex.net
In a
dictation through the Summit Lighthouse, Astrea and Purity
established an arc between the God Star and earth: “I
am forever your Starry Mother and my star in this moment does
shoot to the star Sirius as Purity shall remain and we shall
establish this arcing of Sirius to earth, for God Surya has
taken note of the effort of a band of chelas of the will of
God....Circle and sword of Astrea from the God Star Sirius,
arc the light!...Now the oscillation of the light of the God
Star Sirius to this point of contact does begin.... Without
the will of God there is no purity. And the Divine Mother
is cloaked in a star-fire blue of sapphire hue.”
Sirius, focus of Surya and Cuzco
I was always
so impressed by the fact that when you look Sirius through
binoculars, rays of gold and pink and blue and green flash
from it, like the colors of our great causal body of Light
where the I AM Presence abides.
Later the
same day, Surya said, in another
dictation: “I am Surya, and Cuzco with me affirm
the origin of the sons and daughters of God at the point of
the God Star Sirius. I affirm this focus of the Great Central
Sun as a point of origin for many who pass through earth’s
schoolroom at this hour.
“Thus
I come to reinforce the Order of the Blue Rose of Sirius and
I come to remind all of your fealty to the order of the First
Ray. And thus I desire to enable you to understand how the
beloved El Morya, son of Sirius, devotee of the will of God,
is the Lord of the First Ray for a reason, that reason being,
beloved, that he does tarry in the earth for the training
in the path of chelaship of those who are descended from that
God Star and need the sharpening of the mind, the soul, the
heart and the desire body according to a path of devotion
and service. This is our call to those, then, who are beginning
to remember that you are pilgrims passing through and that
you have upon our star of Light truly homes of great magnificence.
You have left there and you have left great palaces and the
golden age that is perpetual and the evolution with lifewaves
who are in constant contact with their Teachers.
Blue Rose of Sirius by Therese Rose Emmanuel
“Come,
then, ye into alignment with the God Star. For this reason
beloved Astrea and Purity have established this arc between
the God Star and the earth. I suggest that you take a moment
when our star is visible to you to face that central sun and
to give the mantra—I AM Alpha and Omega. I AM Alpha
and Omega in the white fire core of being....Believe me, beloved
ones, there are currents from the stars. There are rays that
do descend. And those rays are vital in the development of
the spirituality of souls and of their chakras. Understand
that Morya and his blue rose and his vibration of the God
Star...There is a path and it can be fully realized and attained
to here. You need not be concerned, beloved ones. For the
tests you receive are directly the wavelength of the God Star.
We must have full warriors of the Spirit. We must have adepts
out of this experiment on planet earth.”
The ascended
masters have told us that Court of the Sacred Fire is located
on the God Star, Sirius. This is where souls must pass trial
before the Four and Twenty Elders. This is where souls who
have continuously rebelled against God are dissolved in the
sacred fire of Alpha and Omega, and the divine energy that
was in them is returned to God for repolarization. This ritual,
known as the Second Death, is actually divine mercy for both
the rebellious soul and for God.
The masters
have also spoken of a formation of blue-lightning angels who
come from Sirius to assist Archangel Michael in his work on
behalf of the evolutions of this solar system. They form a
“Mighty Blue Eagle.” When you study the components
of the Mighty Blue Eagle, they said, you will see that every
feather and part is a blue-flame angel. It is a vast formation
that fills the starry heavens. We can call upon these angels
in our prayers.
Sirius, is
the focus of the Great Central Sun in our sector of the galaxy.
We read in the Ascended Master Encyclopedia that the Great
Central Sun—also called the Great Hub—is the center
of cosmos, the point of integration of the Spirit-Matter cosmos,
the point of origin of all physical-spiritual creation, and
the nucleus, or white-fire core, of the “Cosmic Egg.”
Mark and Elizabeth
Clare Prophet further explain what this means in The
Masters and the Spiritual Path. “The spiritual-material
universe, including a seemingly endless chain of galaxies,
star systems, worlds known and unknown, whose center, or white
fire core, is called the Great Central Sun.” The yolk
in the center represents Spirit-form and Matter-form. The
white on the periphery represents Spirit-formless and Matter-formless.
These are worlds waiting to be born for souls who will one
day be created. The Prophets explain, “Our universe
is a cross section of this giant Ovoid, an externalization
of Spirit suspended in Matter and Matter suspended in Spirit.
Universes without number revolve around the Great Hub of Life,
interpenetrating one another, each within another dimension—each
a slice, a verse, of the Great Central Sun Galaxy.”
You can understand
the formation of the macrocosm through the study of the microcosm—an
atom formed by protons and neutrons, surrounded by whirling
electrons. The nucleus of the atom—protons and neutrons—are
the yolk. The electrons form the white. The book explains
that likewise, the Great Central Sun and the Great Causal
Body form the yolk. In the macrocosmic hub of God's creation,
from the perspective of the Trinity, the Great Central Sun
is the focus of the Father and has a pink causal body: Divine
Love. The Great Causal Body is the focus of the Son and has
a yellow causal body: Divine Wisdom. And so the yolk, or center
of creation is the golden-pink glow ray, the Glory—or
glow-ray—of God.
Then, we read
that the Great Central Sun Galaxy forms the white and has
a blue causal body: Divine Will. It is a focus of the Holy
Spirit, that embraces all three. The relationship of the core
to the periphery, or the yolk to the white, is the golden
ratio, or the ratio of the golden mean.
Looking at
this one step further. The golden ratio—or phi—is
often found in nature, art, and architecture. It is the divine
blueprint in all of God's creation, and in what man creates
that reflects the divine. The golden ratio states that:
The whole of Creation is to the center as the center is to
the periphery. The whole of Creation is to the Great Central
Sun and the Great Causal Body (Father and Son), what the Great
Central Sun and Great Causal Body (Father and Son) are to
the Great Central Sun Galaxy (Holy Spirit). This means the
Great Central Sun Galaxy, of which we are a part, is the manifestation
of the Will of God. It is completely subject through the Holy
Spirit of outpicturing the divine love and the divine wisdom
of the Father and the Son. This is why Jesus said, “If
you have seen me, you have seen the Father. I and my Father
are one.” This is why those who move against the Son
and thus, against the Father—be they souls or planetary
bodies, receive the judgment of the Holy Spirit and will ultimately
be dissolved in the Golden-Pink Glory of God.
Mark and Elizabeth
Clare Prophet tell us that yolk and white—put together
as spheres within spheres—form the galaxy. Elizabeth
spoke of the law of transcendence as it unfolds
through history. She said: “As we ponder the immense
odyssey of God’s Being through eternal rounds of beginnings
and endings, we can ask the fateful question: Why? The answer,
we are told, is that the law of cycles implements the law
of transcendence. God is a transcendent being, and with each
new outbreath, he evolves to a greater state of cosmic perfection
and beauty. The cycles are not really circles or sine waves
but they are spirals—spirals of infinite expansion according
to the geometry of the golden ratio. Each cycle of evolution
takes in more of God. Each round sends us into wider spheres
of the body of God’s cosmos. As the cycles of cosmos
spiral upward into greater and greater dimensions, so man
can forever transcend the veils of Matter that form the schoolrooms
for his soul’s evolution.”
In
some of the older schools of philosophy it was said: “No
one can enter who does not know mathematics.” Prophet
explained that meant not what we now call mathematics, but
that science which embraces the knowledge of the higher planes,
of their mutual relations, and the way in which the whole
is built by the will of God. “When Plato said: God geometrizes,”
she said, “he stated a profound truth which throws much
light upon the methods and mysteries of evolution. Those forms
are not conceptions of the human brain; they are truths of
the higher planes. The old philosophers pondered upon them
because they led to the understanding of the true science
of life.”
It is interesting
to me that the masters use the analogy of an egg to explain
the entire process of creation within the macrocosm, because
when you look at an egg, the yolk is the nourishment life
force for the “egg white” externalized creation
of the chick-to-be. And so in the divine creative activity
of the Great Hub, the Great Central Sun and the Great Causal
Body give birth to galaxies
and universes.
As we studied
previously, when we are talking about the Great Causal Body
of the Hub of creation, we are talking about all good that
was ever done by any part of creation within the galaxy, that
is now stored in the Great Causal Body. This becomes the repository
and manifestation of Christ consciousness—the Son of
God—for the entire collective of created beings and
includes the entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood.
That which was created by Brahma, that cannot be preserved
by Vishnu, becomes destroyed by Shiva. This threefold relationship
is found within Brahman, who is the ultimate reality, the
supreme cosmic power that encompasses everything.
Theosophy
assigns three Logoi within the “egg,” one being
Vach, the feminine expression of God as the Divine Mother.
According to Theosophy, Brahma, the First Logos, is the divine
thought. Vach, the Second Logos, is the divine voice. And
Viraj, the Third Logos, is the divine word, the philosophical
equivalent of the Son of the Christian Trinity. Vach gives
birth to Verbum. As stated in the Gospel of John,
“In the Beginning was the Word and the Word was with
God and the Word was God.”
Mark and Elizabeth
Clare Prophet further explain that “The Spiritual Sun
behind the physical sun in the center of the universe is not,
as it would seem, in back of the physical sun; it is congruent
with or superimposed upon it, but in another dimension. Man’s
own causal body is a miniature replica of the Great Central
Sun. Moreover, every atom in manifestation is built upon this
same pattern of energy—spirals evolving spheres within
spheres.
“The
color bands of the Great Central Sun as well as of the atom
are planes of God’s consciousness differentiated only
by their frequency, or vibration; and the white-fire core
is the focus of Spirit becoming Matter and Matter becoming
Spirit. Thus in the Hub (the center of the Spirit-Matter cosmos)
and in the heart of every atom, the Spiritual Sun and the
physical sun coexist. Here in the white-fire core, the simultaneous
manifestation of Spirit and Matter provides the necessary
components for creation. Here and only here can creation be
born.”
This is why
nuclear weaponry and the splitting of the atom is such an
anti-God manifestation that resulted in planetary destruction.
And this is why the masters gave us decree “Prevent
Nuclear War” through Mark Prophet, of which this is
an excerpt:
“Above
our heads in cosmic space, as Damocles' sword to destroy the
race. Hangs atom power whose bombs could shower, on mankind
at any hour...Dissolve those bombs, their cause and core.
Let them now, be no more. Cause and effect of human strife,
reject right now by cosmic might.”
The Prophets
explain that eleven concentric rings surround the core of
God’s Being. These, together with the center, make up
the twelve planes of consciousness found in the Atom of God—seven
outer rays and five “secret” rays.
In a Summit
Lighthouse
dictation, the Master Morya asks us to give the mantras:
“I AM
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending!” and
“I AM Alpha and Omega in the white fire core of being!”
“What
does this mean, this mantra? It establishes around you the
T’ai Chi of Alpha and Omega. It does establish balance
and harmony to the point where angels of the violet flame,
angels of the blue ray joined by healing angels, can accelerate
the mending of your garments.
“You
need that shield of the many layers, filigree layers of light
that comprise your etheric, mental, astral sheaths. As you
have torn these, they must be mended. They are mended by angels
but the angels must have the light wherewith to mend them.”
The Master El Morya
www.tsl.org
I AM Alpha
and Omega in the white-fire core of being is the mantra of
the macrocosm and the microcosm, the Great Hub of which we
are a part, and after which we are patterned. For “man,”
and “womb-man,” or woman, is made in the image
and likeness of God.
The Pleiades
The
Ascended Master Encyclopedia explains that in our portion
of the universe, the seat of the Great White Brotherhood is
the Pleiades. Of the five hundred stars in the group, six
are easily visible to the naked eye. These stars are known
from ancient times as the Seven Sisters, and they focus the
seven rays of the divine feminine.
The Pleiades
In 1970, the
Elohim Cyclopea announced
that the hierarchies of the Pleiades had released a dispensation
for the manifestation of the divine blueprint of planet Earth.
Cyclopea said: “I am focusing within your consciousness
this night and anchoring within your own third eye the vision
of that Cosmic City Foursquare....That focus is the most powerful
image that can be brought forth for the manifestation of Christ
and the kingdom of God upon this earth. It contains within
it the full power of the World Mother and her divine matrix
of the entire material universe for the manifestation of the
Christ....
“Let
the All-Seeing Eye of God penetrate to ascertain what is occurring
in the world, to ascertain the position of the evil forces.
And then, let that projection of the cosmic cube be stamped
upon them, sealing the place where evil dwells by the power
of the Most High God. The entire hierarchy of the Pleiades
is behind this experiment for the complete transformation
of the planetary orb by the power of the All-Seeing Eye of
God. Therefore, I say, I give you the key: Call to the Pleiades
and the hierarchies thereof. There are millions of cosmic
beings with their cosmic retinues who will come forth in answer
to your prayer, millions of Cosmic Christs who will carry
into manifestation that divine blueprint.”
The Music
of the Spheres
The ascended
masters have told us much about the Music of the Spheres in
Summit Lighthouse dictations. Speaking of the beautiful Eighth
Symphony, Gustav Mahler said: “I have just finished
my Eighth! It is the greatest thing I have as yet done and
so individual in form and content that I cannot describe it
in words. Imagine that the whole universe begins to sound
in tone. The result is not merely human voices singing, but
a vision of planets and suns coursing about.”
Jesus described
the Music of the Spheres in a Summit Lighthouse dictation:
“As each planetary body or star emits its own musical
note which harmonizes so magnificently with other heavenly
bodies as to be called by many the music of the spheres—so
the statement that the stars sang together for joy is ever
so true you see. Harmony is the law of the spheres, which
law reigns victoriously through the entire planetary chain
of your solar system and out through the entire cosmos as
well! I say unto you that all space is hallowed by the joy
of the Lord himself.”
The Master
Kuthumi spoke
about the Music of the Spheres with respect to the song, “Onward
Christian Soldiers,” which is the keynote of the master
Hilarion, who was embodied as Saint Paul. He said, “This
melody is one of those played by the Music of the Spheres
from the combined musical tones released by each of the planets
belonging to the same system as the earth. As each planet
spins in its orbit, it releases into space its cosmic tone
and the musical key-note of the planet earth is “F”
below “middle C.” ...Many years ago, a rather
insignificant parish priest of the Catholic Church–-during
some moments of quietude and spiritual contemplation –“tuned
in” to what is known as the Inner Realms and, hearing
this lovely melody, wrote it down for posterity to enjoy.”
Kuthumi was
embodied as Pythagoras, the Father of musical theory who created
the musical scales. These are also associated with the golden
ratio spiral on which the Hub of Creation hums. Kuthumi continues:
“Let us assure our gracious readers that there is no
such thing as war, conflict or strife of any kind known anywhere
except upon your planet earth and in her atmosphere. For that
reason, as some of you know, has the “ring-pass-not”
of blue flame been placed around earth’s atmosphere
some distance out -a protective wall made of the actual living
bodies of those who serve as legions of blue flame. These
are tangible, breathing, highly intelligent beings of great
light who joyously and willingly stand constant guard
–allowing none of the discords of earth to get out of
her atmosphere to despoil any other part of life. At the same
time, they draw here and admit to the earth and her atmosphere
everyone and everything possible to assist in her quicker
purification.
“One
day, as the permanent golden age proceeds into greater and
greater perfection, the need for this “ring-pass-not”
of angelic protection shall be no more and the earth shall
be radiating her light into the Universe—together with
her cosmic musical tone. Until recently this tone was vibrating
below its perfect pitch—sounding quite flat. However,
as the vibrations of the earth are being quickened by a more
general and intensive acceptance and use of the violet transmuting
flame, the musical tone of the earth is being raised to its
perfect pitch and there shall it be maintained forever.”
Omri-Tas spoke
about the dangers of rock music—that includes rap music—and
how the violet flame assists the music of the spheres. He
said: “Now I place myself in the center of the earth.
I place myself there, as it were, physically. And I shall
meditate with the Buddha of the Ruby Ray in that center, and
we shall establish a balance by sound and its vibration to
neutralize the dissonance of sound bombarding the earth and
the minds and the marrow of the bones of the people. Yes,
I speak of what is called music, the sound and the dissonant
sounds of hell to which the youth and their bodies have adapted,
and many have adapted.
“The
misuse of sound is dangerous and has been used by forces of
Darkness to inaugurate cataclysm. This you know. As I tell
you this and as you see our service in the center of the earth,
you can know that we would come for this service only because
there is a necessity. In other rooms in this very place and
in places throughout the city, the rock music burns on, consuming
the soul’s sensitivities, neutralizing the action of
the chakras and the soul’s ability to make contact with
God.
“Thus
it is, beloved. Make your heart a place of refuge for the
youth of the world by establishing there the divine harmony
and connecting yourself to the music of the spheres. The music
of the spheres is the music of the Causal Body of every son
and daughter of God. This is the music that purifies and heals,
that balances and restores wholeness and displaces the insanity
that is caused by the syncopated beat of rock music.”
Saint Germain
recommended that people return to the classics. I remember
when I first came into the teachings, I was wondering what
popular music to avoid and a minister suggested I fast from
all music for a month. I followed her advice and when I returned
to listening to music, my choices had changed. I was no longer
addicted to popular songs and my musical selections were purified.
Saint Germain
said: “I advise all who would truly be alchemists of
the Spirit to seek out the classical music of the world’s
greatest composers—of Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Haydn,
Handel, Wagner, Liszt, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Mahler, and many
others who have been commissioned by the Brotherhood to bring
forth the music of the spheres.”
Christian mystic
Corinne Heline wrote a beautiful book, The Cosmic Harp.
In it, she explains where the great composers align with the
astrology signs of the zodiac. Heline said, “The universe
we know is a mighty cosmic harp whose twelve zodiacal strings
resound with the continuous song of God.” She recounts
a sweet story about Orpheus and his lute. “The Greek
legend tells how Jason and his followers set forth in quest
of the Golden Fleece. A violent storm overtook the voyagers,
and their ship was all but dashed to pieces when Orpheus came
to their rescue. The god of music played upon his magic lute
until the towering wave subsided and the clouds overhead disappeared.
Shining in the blue calm heavens above were Castor and Pollux,
as though bestowing a blessing on the adventurers.”
The story
of Orpheus is deeper than that. From A Book of Myths
by Jean Lang:
“In the
country of Thrace, surrounded by all the best gifts of the
gods, Orpheus was born. His father was Apollo, the god of
music and of song, his mother the muse Calliope. Apollo gave
his little son a lyre, and himself taught him how to play
it. It was not long before all the wild things in the woods
of Thrace crept out from the green trees and thick undergrowth,
and from the holes and caves in the rocks, to listen to the
music that the child’s fingers made. The coo of the
dove to his mate, the flute-clear trill of the blackbird,
the song of the lark, the liquid carol of the nightingale—all
ceased when the boy made music. The winds that whispered their
secrets to the trees owned him for their lord, and the proudest
trees of the forest bowed their heads that they might not
miss one exquisite sigh that his fingers drew from the magical
strings. The whole heart of the universe became one great,
palpitating, beautiful thing, an instrument from whose trembling
strings was drawn out the music of Orpheus.
“He rose to great power and became a mighty prince of
Thrace. Not his lute alone, but he himself played on the heart
of the fair Eurydice and held it captive. It seemed as though,
when they became man and wife, all happiness must be theirs.
But although Hymen, the god of marriage, himself came to bless
them on the day they wed, the omens on that day were against
them. The torch that Hymen carried had no golden flame but
sent out pungent black smoke that made their eyes water. They
feared they knew not what; but when, soon afterwards, as Eurydice
wandered with the nymphs, her companions, through the blue-shadowed
woods of Thrace, the reason was discovered. A bold shepherd,
who did not know her for a princess, saw Eurydice, and no
sooner saw her that he loved her. He ran after her to proclaim
to her his love, and she, afraid of his wild uncouthness,
fled before him. She ran, in her terror, too swiftly to watch
whither she went, and a poisonous snake that lurked amongst
the fern bit the fair white foot that flitted, like a butterfly,
across it. In agonized suffering, Eurydice died. Her spirit
went to the land of the Shades, and Orpheus was left broken-hearted.
“The
sad winds that blow at night across the sea, the sobbing gales
that tell of wreck and death, the birds that wail in the darkness
for their mates, the sad, soft whisper of the aspen leaves
and the leaves of the heavy clad blue-black cypresses, all
now were hushed, for greater than all, more full of bitter
sorrow than any, arose the music of Orpheus, a long-drawn
sob from a broken heart in the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
“Grief
came alike to gods and to men as they listened, but no comfort
came to him from the expression of his sorrow. At length,
when to bear his grief longer was impossible for him, Orpheus
wandered to Olympus, and there besought Zeus to give him permission
to seek his wife in the gloomy land of the Shades. Zeus, moved
by his anguish, granted the permission he sought, but solemnly
warned him of the terrible perils of his undertaking.
“But
the love of Orpheus was too perfect to know any fear; thankfully
he hastened to the dark cave on the side of the promontory
of Taenarus, and soon arrived at the entrance of Hades. Stark
and grim was the three-headed watchdog, Cerberus, which guarded
the door, and with the growls and the furious roaring of a
wild beast thirsty for its prey it greeted Orpheus. But Orpheus
touched his lute, and the brute, amazed, sank into silence.
On, then, strode Orpheus, playing still, and the melody he
drew from his lute passed before him into the realms of Pluto.
“Surely never were heard such strains. They told of
perfect, tender love, of unending longing, of pain too great
to end with death. Of all the beauties of the earth they sang—of
the sorrow of the world—of all the world’s desire—of
things past—of things to come.
“Into
the blackest depths of Hades the sounds sped on their way,
and the hands of Time stood still. Before the throne where
Pluto and his queen Proserpine were seated, sable-clad and
stern, the relentless Fates at their feet, Orpheus still played
on. When, with a quivering sigh, the music stopped, Orpheus
fearlessly pled his cause. To let him have Eurydice, to give
him back his more than life, to grant that he might lead her
with him up to “the light of Heaven”—that
was his prayer.
“The eyes of Pluto and Proserpine did not dare to meet,
yet with one accord was their answer given. Eurydice should
be given back to him, but only on one condition. Not until
he had reached the light of earth was he to turn round and
look upon the face for a sight of which his eyes were tired
with longing. Eagerly Orpheus complied, and with a heart almost
breaking with gladness he heard the call for Eurydice and
turned to retrace his way, with the light footfall of the
little feet that he adored making music behind him. Too good
a thing it seemed—too unbelievable a joy. She was there—quite
close to him. Their days of happiness were not ended. His
love had won her back, even from the land of darkness. All
that he had not told her of that love while she was on earth,
he would tell her now. All that he had failed in before, he
would make perfect now. The little limping foot—how
it made his soul overflow with adoring tenderness. So, near
she was, he might even touch her were he to stretch back his
hand….
“And then there came to him a hideous doubt. What if
Pluto had played him false? What if there followed him not
Eurydice, but a mocking shade? As he climbed the steep ascent
that led upwards to the light, his fear grew more cruelly
real. Too overwhelming for him was the doubt. Swiftly he turned,
and found his wife behind him, but only for a moment she stayed.
Her arms were thrown open and Orpheus would fain have grasped
her in his own, but before they could touch each other Eurydice
was borne from him, back into the darkness.
“Farewell! she said—Farewell! and her voice was
a sigh of hopeless grief. In mad desperation Orpheus sought
to follow her, but his attempt was vain. He sought the depths
of the forests of Thrace, where trees and rocks and beasts
and birds were all his friends. He took his lyre again then
and played in the shadow of the woodlands, all the sorrow
of his heart expressing itself in the song of his lute. The
fiercest beasts of the forest crawled to his feet and looked
up at him with eyes full of pity. The song of the birds ceased,
and when the wind moaned through the trees they echoed his
cry, “Eurydice! Eurydice!”
“In
the dawning hours it would seem to him that he saw her again,
flitting, a thing of mist and rising sun, across the dimness
of the woods. And when evening came and all things rested,
and the night called out the mystery of the forest, again
he would see her. In the long blue shadows of the trees, she
would stand; up the woodland paths she walked, her little
feet fluttering the dry leaves as she passed. Her face was
white as a lily in the moonlight, and ever she held out her
arms to Orpheus.
“Though the heartbroken Orpheus lived for many years
afterward, questing with the Argonauts and having many adventures,
his wounded soul remained unhealed, and his songs of longing
always spoke of Eurydice. As he sat one day near a river in
the stillness of the forest, there came from afar an ugly
clamor of sound. It struck against the music of Orpheus’
lute and slew it. Long had the Bacchantes hated the loyal
poet-lover of one fair woman whose dwelling was with the Shades.
They threw themselves upon Orpheus and killed him.
“In the
heavens, as a bright constellation called Lyra, or Orpheus,
the gods placed his lute. And unto this day, more sweetly
than at any other spot in any other land, the nightingale
sings. For it sings of a love that knows no ending, of life
after death, of a love so strong that it can conquer even
Death, the all-powerful.”
The master Serapis Bey mentioned the lyre as a lute of
fire in the Seraphic Meditations, published in the Dossier
on the Ascension. He described “Ribbons of interconnecting
glory from this gigantic orb spread into space from galaxy
to galaxy, from star system to star system, and the song of
the music of the sphere moved upon the strings of my heart
as a lute of fire. I heard the turning of the seemingly silent
spheres and the tones of the cosmic fires, of dead and dying
worlds, blended with the nova, the eternally new, the children
of space, interstellar systems moving outward into the far-flung
deserts where the fractional margins spread apart, yet they
were engulfed in the love of the Center.”
“My
soul was separated from earthly consciousness. I roamed through
spiral nebulae. Through gossamer veils of light, through flaming
hair of Seraphim, places of the sun. The turning of empty
worlds. I understood the message of the elder ones. The consciousness
of a little child, innocent at heart, I knew the pure in heart
should see God.”

Beethoven wrote
that his life was ordained for higher purpose and notable
accomplishment. In the ninth symphony, he transports the soul
onto those lofty levels. In his own words, which he framed
and then placed upon his desk: “I am that which is.
I am all that was and is and that shall be.”
The first three
movements of the colossal ninth depict the passage of the
ascending spirit through the three heavens, and the final
core movement sounds the exaltation theme, which sweeps the
soul into the very presence of God.
The symphony
as a whole gives expression to the supreme realization that
all life is one and immortal. After the supernal work was
finished. Beethoven's earthly mission was completed.

Speaking of the Music of the Spheres, Sanat Kumara said:
“As I listen to the music of the spheres, I am
ever mindful of my great longing to see all this magnificence
and beautiful light and radiance communicated to each one
of you, that you may sense or feel the radiance of the Ancient
of Days and share the blessings I have long known. As the
Ancient of Days, I therefore wish to stress constancy—constancy,
constancy that comes from the heart; constancy that knows
humility; constancy that has full faith in its own divinity.
Pause now and listen to the music of the spheres, for I have
for you today an inner message that is simple yet important.
Hear, then, the music of the spheres.”
I Love
You Truly
Elizabeth
Clare Prophet said: “We use the singing of I Love You
Truly by Carrie Jacobs-Bond as a tribute to Gautama Buddha,
to his fatherly love to us, and we remember that Gautama Buddha
is the highest initiate of the World Mother upon the planet.
He tells us that he sits in meditation upon the feminine ray,
and by the magnet of his Father consciousness, the forcefield
of Spirit within him, he magnetizes the energies of Omega.
Hence, he is the Buddha, the Buddhic Light of the world.”
Gautama Buddha also helps sustain the threefold flame in the
heart of earth's evolutions.
