The Mystery of Death

The dissolution of form is a fundamental element of the cosmic process.

All things change.

All conditions pass away.

No form ever remains permanent…

Existence is a stream, a series of waves, eternal movement.

The irrational desire for permanence and the desire for crystallization must end.

Life and death are bound up together and the terms death and limitation are synonymous.

We live in a fluid universe and, in order to bring to completion the Great Work to which we are all called, mankind must grasp the alchemical truth:  death, or dissolution, is the secret of the Great Work.

The Great Work or Alchemy is the process which transmutes base metal into gold; within humans it’s the process that raises humankind from human to God-Man.

The dissolution of the physical body is a necessary and beneficial manifestation of life and is not the cessation of self-conscious existence.  Death of the physical is therefore not evil as is understood by the unenlightened who feel it is the last enemy to be conquered.  When correctly understood, however, the very forces that lead to physical death are the same that will bring the individual into the consciousness of eternal life.

When an entity chooses to incarnate on the plane of matter, he takes on a garment of flesh, which creates limitation and brings about a death to his previous life. That death in turn brings about his/her beginning in the world of matter.  As part of the continuing spectrum, at the time of physical withdrawal or death, he dies to the world of limitation and returns back to the world of spirit from whence he came and the freedom it offers.

When an individual focuses their consciousness on ‘form’ and identifies almost completely with the principle of death or limitation, he/she interprets freedom from physical life as death. However, as the individual evolves, his consciousness increasingly shifts into that which is not form and more into the world of the abstract or spirit. This is achieved through meditation when the individual begins to use the mind, a reflection of the Will aspect.  This conditions the personality and provides an entrance into the world of the soul, bringing into view the full purpose of the soul resulting in the overcoming of the fear of death.

Death for the average person is a catastrophic experience filled with dread and fear. It conjures up thoughts of leaving a warm, loving, lighted room and being dragged kicking and screaming into a lonely, cold, dark room, hoping for the best but having no assurance of anything.

What is forgotten however is that every night during the hours of sleep we die to the physical plane while alive and functioning on other planes. This is because we have achieved the ability and have the facility to leave the physical body.  However, because most are unable to consciously bring back the recollections from the interval and active living before coming back into the body, they are unable to relate sleep and death.

Death, in essence is only a longer period of sleep between the physical plane.  In sleep, the magnetic thread or current of energy through which the life force is connected to the body is preserved intact and constitutes the path of return to the body. In death, this life thread is severed or broken and the conscious individual cannot return to the physical body. Lacking the principle of coherence, the physical body then disintegrates.  This happens in accordance with the will and purpose of the soul.

In the body, the life current differentiates into two threads and is anchored in two locations.  They are anchored in the body as follows:

  1. The soul thread is anchored or seated in the brain in the region of the pineal gland.  This makes the individual an intelligent, rational entity; self-conscious and self-directing and makes him aware of the world in which he lives according to the place he has reached in his evolution. The development of this mechanism in the three areas of cerebro-spinal, sympathetic and peripheral nervous system and endocrine also helps greatly to facilitate his functioning in the world as a conscious entity.
  2. The second aspect of the soul is anchored in the heart and is responsible for the animation of every atom in the body and constitutes the principle of coherence or integration. The soul aspect is the life principle; the principle of determination; the central nucleus of positive energy by which all the atoms of the body are held in their right place and are all subordinated to the Will of the soul. This life principle uses the blood stream as its mode of expression and its controlling agency.  Through the close association of the blood stream with the endocrine system, man becomes a conscious, living entity governed by and expressing the purposes of the soul in all the activities of human living.

Death is, therefore, the withdrawal from the heart and the head of these two streams of energy.  Withdrawal of these two streams of energy produces a complete loss of consciousness and disintegration of the body. Death is different from sleep in that both streams of energy are withdrawn. The two threads are then unified in the one life thread.  When this happens the individual becomes unconscious and his focus and awareness is elsewhere and no longer toward the tangible physical.

What might not be widely known is that there is that the human body has an underlying, interpenetrating vital body which is the counterpart to the physical body and is even larger than the physical body. This is called the etheric body or etheric double.  It is an energy body composed of force centers and force threads called nadis.  These are the counterparts to the nervous apparatus in the physical body, the nerves and nerve ganglia. There are two places in the human vital body where there are orifices or openings for the exit of the life force.  One opening is in the solar plexus and the other is in the brain, at the top of the head. A closely woven web of etheric matter composed of interlacing strands of life energy cover theses orifices.  In the process of death, the pressure of the life energy beating against the web produces a puncturing or, eventually, an opening. Depending on the point of evolution of the entity, he will exit through either the solar plexus or the top of the head.  The more evolved, rational thinking being, exits through the top of the head.

Physical death occurs through four stages:

  • Withdrawal from the dense physical body
  • Withdrawal from the etheric body
  • Vacating the astral or emotional body
  • Finally the leaving of the mental body

The goal of the Masters of Wisdom is for all humans to die consciously by linking the physical and astral planes such that both will constitute one plane.  This linking of the two planes— physical and emotional, offers the opportunity to achieve a greater understanding of one’s sojourn on this planet.

The following explains how an individual makes his/her transition to the other side:

  1. Exit through the head is by the intellectual type, by the disciples, and the initiates of the world.
  2. Exit through the heart is used by the kindly well-meaning who is a good citizen and intelligent friend and a philanthropic worker.
  3. Exit through the region of the solar plexus used by the emotional, unintelligent, unthinking individual and by those whose animal nature is strong.

Death, like birth, is a symbolic beginning

New information is increasingly becoming available about the process of death leading to a greater understanding of the death and dying process. There is a technique and training for dying that should be learned during one’s life which will lead to ‘conscious’ dying.

The Masters of Wisdom who have guided humanity across the centuries are now preparing humanity for the next step that will enable individuals to move to the next step in the evolution of his consciousness in which there will be a continuity of consciousness and the fear and terror of death will be overcome.

The Price of Gold…

The Rich Will Be Poorer And The Poor Will Be Richer…

The statement is referred to often by many religious people and gives credence to their thirst for gold as a way of saying that because they are on the side of holiness and goodness they have been blessed with riches.  Those who struggle under the weight of  so-called poverty wonder how it is that the so-called rich rape and pillage them and are blessed by this supposedly merciful God…

One only has to sit and reason this out to know that the logic of this makes no sense.

A fact that must be borne in mind in reference to the quote: ”The richer shall be richer and the poor shall be poorer”, is, this statement was made in reference to the Age of Pisces.  An Age in which mankind satiated himself with more and more of life’s earthly possessions…

This is one of the characteristics of the Age we just left.  It was the Divine Plan for man to acquire as much as he thought he could consume until it made him sick to his stomach.

A wise partner gives guidance and counsel to his child but never prevents him from exercising his so-called free will.  The wise parent knows too well the value of experience.

The Divine Parents knew that the Earth plane was set up to allow for an adventure into, and, with Gold or Matter.

Some of the lower attributes of the Piscean Age are: Greed, Selfishness, Separation, Religious Fanaticism and the Suppression of the Feminine.

What many are missing as they look at the unfolding events of the day, is that the Age of Piscean has ended and although we are experiencing the wash-over effects of the Age just past, the new agenda, that of the Aquarian Age, is the order of the day, going forward…

When you are inclined to become despaired by what seem to be happening, remember also that the new world we say you want, and hope for, cannot be established on the foundation of the old one…

Hence: One cannot put new wine in old sheepskin…

Another famous saying that speaks to the same point: “Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die…”

One must die to what no longer works.  He must die to outworn, outmoded erroneous ideas.  Ideas which have no foundation on which to exist in the Aquarian Age.

For the reversal to take place and for everyone to be paid his just wage, the Divine Law must be established on the Earth.

That is what is emerging…

The New Earth….  The New Kingdom…

Established on the Divine Principles of Brotherhood, Unity and Oneness in which the Divine Feminine, the Creative Principle, takes her rightful place in the Administration of the planet.

It is always interesting to listen to people who call themselves light workers fret and worry when things become unstable in the world…

I often ask them: “I thought you said you wanted a new kind of world; how did you think it was going to come about?”

It is one thing to want everything to be wonderful but there is a process to everything and to safeguard oneself against fear and panic he or she must become acquainted with the plan for the transition from the old to the new and what that change entails.

No spaceship is coming to rescue anyone!

The only vehicle that matters and is going to offer any protection is the house of light you have been meticulously building with the aid of your own soul.

When everyone else was trying to acquire all the gold and matter that is impermanent, you were building the house of light required for the next phase of this journey.

After all, that was what coming here was all about.

The true wage of this long journey on this plane of matter is not Gold, but Wisdom.

Solomon discovered this and that is why he is often referred to as a symbol of Wisdom.

It would behoove everyone to investigate why Solomon is described as the wisest man that ever lived.  He who discovered the illusion of Gold or Matter.

The foundation of all the systems that have for far too long supported the most unjust practices toward our fellowman is now crumbling and giving way to what we all know in the recesses of our hearts needs to be a more equitable world…

This brings with it enormous fears.  Though most want a better world, they have very little to no idea of how that will be achieved.

It is also not true that we do not know what is going to happen.  It is known.  To reduce the anxiety, it is time to acquaint oneself with the blueprint of the unfolding plan our older brothers and sisters left for us.

Knowing that this time would come, the members of the Fifth Kingdom, symbolized by the Floating Capstone, are behind the scenes midwifing humanity through this time of enormous change…

Soon they will be seen and known…

All the struggles and pain of the Path of evolution have prepared these souls for this moment in the evolution of humanity, when they will come to the aid of mankind.

These souls are not coming from the skies.

They are right here but can only be seen by those whose focus is not the things that glitter but are pure gold.

This New Age with its 180 degree reversal puts the focus on Spirit, the “Cause”, and not “Matter”, the effect…

These radical changes now occurring are bringing massive fears to the surface for so many who are not able to see what lie ahead…

All our systems are based in separation, hate, prejudice, and ignorance.  This will, and must end.

For many this will be uncomfortable.

We will get to see how invested many are in things remaining as they are.  Those who call themselves “of the light” might be discovered to be most invested.

What will happen when there are no more wars to be fought based on the erroneous concept of “God” versus “Satan”?

What will happen as the pairs of opposites continue to merge…

What will happen when one discovers the person he thought was all wise is the most ignorant.

Interesting times are ahead.

You will grow to appreciate the beauty and power of the Age; if not immediately, in time…

However, the Divine Plan for the transition from the Age of Matter to the Age of Spirit is on track and the new reality will look remarkably different from what we now know…

On the one hand, the public wants things to continue as they are, and even have more of the same with even better yield financially to sustain a secure future rooted in gold and matter…

On the other hand, those who feel disenfranchised are hoping that things do not remain the same in all these systems in which they have not had a voice…

Those whose voices are strongest and who represent the evocative cry of the ninety (90%) percent hold sway over the ten(10%) percent …

Will the power of the spiritually rich tip the balance in favor of a New World in which Brotherhood, Unity and Prosperity for all is the new normal?

I know it will!

The indication from all the information left to us by the Masters of Wisdom and the Arcane Teachings is that the spiritually rich will win this battle between Separation and Unity…

They will triumph…

What is taking place is a re-think about how we live our lives on this planet going forward…

The world will not disappear but most will agree, business as usual cannot and will not continue.

Earth will define riches differently and with this re-orientation of the mind the fear of loss or of not having enough will dissipate.

What is often missing in mankind’s perspective is that his plan for his future bears little resemblance with the soul’s plan for that same future

And given that the soul brought each personality into creation for its purpose, it is clear to see in what direction we are going.

The year 2012 is finally here and the Mayan calendar is slated to end.

Let me remind everyone that the word Maya means illusion.

That is what will end…illusion!

All Arcane Teachings from all cultures, not just the Mayan, knew this day would come.

The Masters of Wisdom have long prepared for the day when mankind would wake out of his slumber and begin to participate consciously in the process of his “self-knowing”.

The time is now…

Few are aware that the reality they now live bears little resemblance to the Divine Plan for their lives and for this planet.

The veil of illusion will finally be parted, giving humanity the opportunity to see for the first time what lies behind the curtain.

The scales will fall from the eyes of humanity and he will begin to truly live and not just exsist!

He will understand the mystery of true GOLD…

For many it will be very difficult since they have been so steeped in a world that makes no sense to the rational mind but which they have embraced so completely.

Note: Spirit is the Highest form of Matter and Matter is the Lowest form of Spirit!

The Black Lodge…

The Black Lodge…

I form the Light and create Darkness. I make Peace and create Evil.

I the Lord do all these things. Isaiah 45: 5, 6, 7(KJV)

Just about everyone is happy to talk about the Light but no one wants to talk about Darkness.  However, without an understanding of Darkness one cannot walk in Light and without an understanding Evil, how can one know God…

To become a conscious entity on planet Earth and a true citizen of the Aquarian Age requires courage and a deep unquenchable desire to know one’s self.

And this knowledge of the self can only be revealed not taught to the individual by his own Inner Teacher who is the only true teacher and the revealer of the Mysteries of Life…

How can one emerge from Darkness into Light, from Ignorance to Knowledge without an understanding of either…

Without this knowledge mankind will indeed perish…

The Forces of Darkness or the so-called Black Lodge of Adepts operate from the lower astral plane and have had its establishment on the Earth for eons and is far more firmly established here since the foundation for its power is separation and materialism, division and greed

Gladly, their power is rapidly waning due to the evolution of human consciousness…

The so-called Great White Lodge which consist of the Hierarchy of Masters have sought to bend human thought away from separation and materialism toward unity and oneness which has been difficult but is finally taking hold in a big way

This is made possible through the development of the human vehicle— the physical, emotional and mental bodies— giving man the capacity to hold the infusions of light emitted by the Masters of Wisdom into the minds of Man

Through humanity’s ability to decipher and to see the relationships and associations between one thing and another he is now able to make better choices and do so more consciously

Every adept who has passed through the Gate of Initiation knows the singular prize to be won at the end of his journey is: Self Knowledge

To accomplish this, one must have developed the capacity to first cognitively understand the concept of duality and how it manifests in form…

He must come to know how and why the cleavage of the mind set up a kingdom on Earth in which oneness gave way to a perception that appearances are reality and anything that is different is not a part of oneness and should be destroyed…

This lack of knowledge is responsible for the war, poverty, and unimaginable inhumanity the world has seen…

Religion has constructed a paradigm that splits the ONE into a cast of two characters—one they call God who is kind, friendly and benevolent and the other Satan/Saturn who is harsh, cruel and unforgiving

In this scenario there are two kingdoms—One ruled by GOD and the other kingdom ruled by the DEVIL

Alas!  The wise discovers they are indeed two aspects one reality…

The members of the Black Lodge have been called by many names…

Most notably the Illuminati…

What is not understood by most is that everyone has been a member of this Black Lodge and sometime in his sojourn…

Everyone became a member by choosing to come to planet Earth and to be a part of duality and the only way to relinquish membership in this lodge is through knowledge and compassion

That knowledge must include the understanding of the collective agreement everyone made before coming to this planet— to play out the illusion of separation and duality…

In this year 2011 that veil of ignorance and illusion is parting significantly to reveal the truth regarding all the pairs of opposites

The word Maya means illusion and it is this illusion that must end…

The only way it ends is through integration…

This is where the river meets the ocean; judgment occurs by a comprehensive understanding of the laws of life then is mankind resurrected from the watery tomb of the subconscious to a conscious knowledge of his choice and his destiny, and onto the Path of Liberation by the merge of opposites…

Most have heard the story of Solomon’s Temple.  Its significance is essential to anyone who seeks transformation, because the temple is the symbol of that structure that everyone is here to construct consciously

The temple is that vehicle needed to house the divine essence

For those who remember story of the building of Solomon’s Temple, there were specific instructions regarding measurements and materials given for its constructing

So that this temple would have the vibrational frequency needed for a permanent in-dwelling of spirit, the building of that temple/vehicle could not be left up to the limited understanding or whims of the uninitiated mind.  The Master Builder was appointed to oversee its construction

What is little known is that everyone is required to build his temple to those same specifications thus making everyone a builder…

This temple is described in ancient text as: ‘one not made with hands, eternal in the heavens’…one built on divine laws…

Solomon was designated to build the symbolic temple in Jerusalem because he had qualified himself, as did the Prodigal Son, by the experiences gained by immersing themselves in the extremes of life and extracting the wisdom that comes from understanding both extremes

Like Solomon and the Prodigal Son everyone eventually comes to the same conclusion that we are bound up inextricably together in a destiny that cannot be won with blame but by a mature examination of those aspects of Self and of Life he is often too afraid to examine…

Mankind has lost memory of his past and is in denial of his present, which prevents him from reconciling the extremes of his experiences lived here and elsewhere…

Those who have no memory are those who most lack compassion…

Because the Wise has prefect memory they have no judgment of humanity— only compassion…

They seek only to lift up humanity…

The Wise remembers he was his brother at every point on the journey toward self-knowledge and before reaching the heights of spiritual attainment…

On one hand, the New Age movement has lulled people into a false sense of what is required to achieve true and sustainable peace, harmony and oneness; and on the other hand religion has used fear to keep its flock in control, with neither group having any true understanding of how he, his world and his government are constituted and why and how liberation is achieved…

The Arcane mysteries teach that the first stage of enlightenment is ‘sight”— the ability to see or to penetrate into things with the focus and clarity of a regenerated mind

There is an ancient fact: ‘One cannot change what one cannot see or understand…’

There is much talk about the 2012 event…

I remarked to someone lately that there is the perception that 2012 will come, everyone will graduate because the biochemistry and the quantum physics will provide for that graduation and  everyone will be rendered all-knowing without any cognitive understanding of what they have been a part of for eons, and why

If that is true there would have been no need for the process of our living on this physical plane with all the institutions put in place to ensure that the physical, emotional and mental bodies grow and mature in preparation for this event.  To ensure that come graduation day the individual is qualified for that graduation through the process of his step by step evolution, rendering him a conscious individual who has earned that graduation and qualified to pass through the Gate of Initiation/Graduation

What in fact is the 11:11 Gateway?

It is none other than the symbolic portal of Solomon’s Temple which everyone must enter through…

One Black and one White…

Boaz and Joachim…

The Light and the Dark…

The Black Lodge and the White Lodge…

It must be understood that the reward for our sojourn here and our entitlement to graduation is not money but wisdom…

If we remember correctly, Solomon was described as the wisest man that ever lived.

Solomon’s temple is used as the reference to the achievement of the full development of the human vehicle made ready to fully house divine knowledge…

Solomon gained his wisdom by reconciling the pairs of opposites…

This is the only way wisdom can be achieved…

Because Solomon lived a life totally immersed in both extremes of earthly experiences, he qualified himself to speak with authority on all subjects…

He is not a propagator of conspiracy theories…

He became a KNOWER…

Not because of anything he was told by anyone else but because he, through his own experiences and his ability to understand, reason and make meaning of relationships and associations was able to see with the single eye of the inner mind that all apparent differences are parts of one whole…

That there is in fact no separation

This ability must be achieved by everyone who yearns to be liberated

The inability to have compassion for our fellowman stems from the lack of capacity to see ourselves in them…

The wise man is always symbolized as wearing a grey robe.  He symbolizes one who has reconciled the pairs of opposites…

He has integrated light and dark; so-called good and the so-called evil…

He is the living representation of the Black Pillar and the White Pillars of Solomon’s Temple…

He is the Master of the Lodge because he has mastered the laws of the Black Lodge and the White Lodge and now has dominion over all things

He has mastered the illusion of separation…

He is now qualified to legitimately stand as a representative of humanity…

Jesus emerged on the stage of Life as the Master Builder and Wayshower and demonstrated to humanity how the Temple is Built and how the Path of Return must be walked…

He is the representative to man as one who has healed the cleavage in the mind, entered through the gates of Oneness, and achieved the title of 33rd degree…

Humanity chose to come to this water planet called Earth to experience the illusion of separation and to be able to report back to himself what that feels like by being able to make correct meaning and interpretation of his emotional life experiences in a physical world according to divine principles…

He came here to forget and then to remember the divine idea that brought him into incarnation, and the inner secrets that idea holds for his liberation from matter…

From Mysticism to Occultism…

We are transitioning from the Age of Pisces to the New Age of Aquarius with fear and birth pangs…

The essential next step in the evolution of human consciousness cannot be further delayed to accommodate fear. We are now living in what the Ageless Wisdom teaching describe as the Age of Occultism—the Aquarian Age—as we move out of the Piscean Age of Mysticism.

A friend told me years ago after paging through my first book ‘Understanding Your Choice’ and seeing the words occult/occultism that the Christian community would greatly object to those terms and so she suggested I change them in my book.  I, of course, told her I would do no such thing and that in fact they should be emphasized given the fact that according to the arcane mystery teachings, this Age of Aquarius is one of developing an occult understanding of life.

The paralyzing effects of the fear of anything should always be countered by the light of knowledge and pure reason and not acquiesence to ignorance and fear.

The first step of any sincere aspirant of this age is to take the time to understand the fundamental differences between the Age of Pisces with its dominant feature of Mysticism and the New Age of Aquarius with its dominant focus of Occultism.

The aspirant must have an understanding of the basic and enduring potencies of the last two thousand years of the Age of Pisces, and they must be achieved so that they provide the foundation on which to build the next level of knowledge. These principles must at the same time be balanced within the context of the new ideas and idealisms of the Aquarian Age to be brought into objectivity and to be expressed in a new and different way.  This knowledge is essential for the new Aquarian civilization and culture to be correctly and effectively produced and for the proper foundations to be laid for the correct development of the human being and the human family in this new cycle.

It is important then to compare some of the key differences between the two Ages and to lay out some of the objectives and orientations of each age to give a better understanding of the goals of the Masters of Wisdom in their continued goal of achieving humanity’s liberation.

The Objectives of the Mystical Age of Pisces were to:

1. Orient man to the world of higher values, since the outstanding characteristic under the old regime was devotion.   Now humanity must seek and hold a one-pointedness toward the soul in preparation for the emergence of the fifth kingdom—God-Man—in the Aquarian age.  All world religions have been built around some embodied Idea and these different world religions under the Piscean Age were adapted to specific nations, races and times.  That idea was designed to embody some truth through the medium of a particular Teacher who would attract those for whom He/ She expressed the highest goal toward which the population of that time could strive.

2.  Unfold the “capacity for abstraction” in Man to enable him to appreciate ideas and become able to formulate these ideas toward ideals—a direct evidence of the work of the Spiritual Hierarchy in expanding human consciousness through education, emotional development and maturity during the Piscean Cycle.

3.  Fade out the desire of devotees to impose their idealistic fanatical dreams of religious idealism on others to merciless excesses

4. Shifted mankind away from the material values of life, under the principle of desire.  Unlike in previous times, when a few evolved Souls would accomplish this stage of development called renunciation, at this time large numbers of mankind are motivated and are now ready to make great sacrifices for an Idea they believe in.  This includes even being ready to die for a major world need, an empire or a nation.  This is a major racial achievement of the Masters of Wisdom who has been able to shift the attention of humanity into the world from which these ideas emerge and onto higher and less material values.

5.  Develop discrimination in Man. The sense of taste is associated with discrimination and the development of taste reached a very high state over the last two thousand years of the era Age of Pisces.  This new and highly cherished sense of “good taste” is a new thing since this was usually the prerogative or a highly cultured few.  This is an evolutionary achievement and is the correspondence on the higher plane of discriminating sense of values.  The Piscean Age can therefore been noted for the evolutionary unfoldment of—Desire, Taste and Discrimination— a preparation of the personality vehicle of the more mature individual for the inflow of the soul forces for the intrinsic expression of the true nature of the man.

The Objectives for the Occult Age of Aquarius:

This new age will be characterized by many changes.  We are beginning to see them, and they are generating much fear in the public at large who are seeing an almost radial departure from the way things were. This age is called one of Alchemy, Ceremonial Order and Magic.  One in which the magical work will be that process in which man goes in search of the magical agent within himself used in the making of the Philosopher’s Stone in integrating the physical, astral and emotional bodies and not only in the individual man but the Body of the Race of Man.

Organization, Service, Relationship, Brotherhood and the rise of the Feminine to her rightful place of equality, power and rulership are some of the hallmarks of this Age. The three things that will definitely be manifested on the planet are:

Changes in civilization and the culture of humanity that will be initiated by the intelligentsia. The concepts and energies of the differences of the Ages will be understood by the Intelligensia as impulsed by the Masters of Compassion. They in turn will transmit these concepts and energies downward to the masses to reverse the involutionary path and re-direct humanity on the upward path toward liberation.

These forces are also directed downward to the other kingdoms in nature to initiate and produce a different quality in the soul manifestation to consequently produce changes in their forms.

A difference in the types of souls which will now be incarnating on the planet…

As the occult energies pour into the etheric body of the planet and consequently into that of each individual, a New World Order is being put in place so that the arcane mysteries can be revealed through them.  The majority of the souls who were in incarnation in the age that is moving out were mystical in nature, and so we are seeing the emergence of seventh ray or occult types appearing who will carry out the work of synthesis, fusion, and oneness.  The separation and division of the outgoing age being replaced!

This new occult force will produce the Western School of Occultism just as the Piscean Age produced the Eastern School of Occultism.  There will be a shift of the light in the East to over Europe and America bringing about a synthesis of the mystical way and the occult path.  The rules of the road will not be discarded but; the same road will be followed and the same goals will be achieved but the procedures will be changed to accommodate the new types now in incarnation.

In the comparison of mysticism and occultism, it must be noted that a mystic is not necessarily an occultist but the occultist embraces the mystic and in fact, mysticism is only one step on the path of occultism.  The mystical path is one of “love” and can be termed the probationary Path while the occult path is one of “Will”.  The mystic fails in the purpose of his being if he is unable to co-ordinate love demonstrated in activity through the use of intelligent Will, to become an occultist, which he must!  In a similar way the occultist becomes a selfish exponent of intelligent power unless he is able to find a purpose of that Will and Knowledge to express, motivated through love.

The mystic deals with the form in evolution and the God within that form and works from the center to the periphery, while the occultist deals with the form itself.  The occultist works with God in outer manifestation, and reverses the process from the periphery to the center.

The mystic mounts the spiritual cross through aspiration and intense devotion to God or a Master who he recognizes, while the occultist attains by the recognition of the law that is in operation and wields that law, which binds matter. He then manipulates matter to meet the needs of the life that is within the given form.  In essence, the occultist works with the Intelligences who work with the law until he attains that Intelligence himself.  The mystic at the final initiation is merged into the occultist for he now has become a student of the law who must work with matter.  The occultist, therefore, includes the characteristics of the mystic.

The Mystical Form Type…

The mystic broods on that inner center of consciousness as he concentrates upon the God within him.  From this center he attempts to link himself to his Master, some saint or the Divine Himself.  He pays little attention, however, to the bodies within which the consciousness dwells.  In the elevation of his consciousness, he works with the divine fire within and moves from fire to fire, always concentrating on abstractions and on the essence of that life and not on the concrete aspects of that life.  If the mystic had his way he would eliminate form totally, and as he harmonizes, loves, works and burns with fire through devotion, he aspires to leap from the plane of the emotions to that of intuition while attempting to eliminate the concrete mind in meditation.  The only form the mystic is said to use if the ladder of fire, and through graded realizations of the indwelling Fire, plans to touch the fire of the universe.  He is visionary, dreamy, impractical, emotional, and lacking the quality of mind called discrimination.  The mystic is intuitive and prone to martyrdom and self-sacrifice, and before the mystic can achieve Initiation, he must:

Through meditation bring his whole nature under the law, learn the value of form and build it…

Learn to appreciate the concrete, and to understand the many bodies through which life manifests and their place in the whole scheme of things.

Learn about his own spirit-matter microcosmic vehicle in which he exist.

The Occult Form Type:

For the occultist form presents very little resistance.  With the Age of Aquarius embodying the Ray of Form and with its focus being Ceremonial Magic, Ritual and Alchemy, the energy of this Age powerfully facilitates a rapid development of occult knowledge and its easy assimilation.  We will also see the appearance of many occultists in the outer world.

In contrast to the Mystic, the occultist is more pre-occupied with the form though which the entity manifests, than with the entity himself.  While the mystic attempts to transcend or eliminate the mind in trying to find the true Self, the occultist because of his interest in the form which veils the Self, and through the intelligent use of the principle of the mind, he arrives at the same point as the mystic.

He recognizes the bodies or sheaths which veil the true Self and applies himself to the study of the laws that govern the solar system that is in manifestation, of which he is the microcosm.  In his study, he arrives at the central life by a process of elimination through conscious knowledge and control.  He meditates on form (e.g. geometric symbols), until the form reveals to him the creator hidden within, and by that form.  What is revealed is that the form and the Self veiled by that form are in fact one and the same and that—Spirit is the highest form of Matter, and Matter is the lowest form of Spirit.

The path of the occultist requires that he does the following:

Learn and apply the law to his own unfoldment through rigid self-discipline, not the least because of the potential dangers involved, are quite different from those encountered by the mystic.  The need to wield the law from the point of curiosity, and the desire for power must be burnt out of him, so must pride and selfishness.  Only then can the secrets of the path be safely entrusted to his care.

He must, through meditation on the form he has built, concentrate upon the indwelling life within and seek the inner burning Divine Fire that radiates all forms and shelters all Divine Life.

Through his scientific study of the macrocosm which is the kingdom of God without, he must reach a point where he locates the kingdom of God within, and this is the place where the occultist merges the mystic within himself and thus the occultist and the mystic become one.

In this regard, the Age of Aquarius offers great challenges and opportunities for Self-knowing, Adeptship and Initiation.

Namaste!
