THE SPIRITUAL POTENCIES OF THE CHURCH FESTIVALS,

The SOLAR ANGEL, VENUS and the FIFTH PURPOSE of DEITY UNITE

~ PENTE SPIRITUS SANCTUS UNIVERSALIS ~

 


THE SPIRITUAL POTENCIES OF FESTIVALS

UNFOLD LATENT OPPORTUNITY

The Tibetan Master wrote: "There are many forms of energy and many spiritual potencies which are not as yet generally recognized but to which the church Festivals of all religions bear witness; these are released at the period of the Festivals."

Pentecost is a church Festival that (most often) occurs near the Solar Full Moon of Gemini which transmits, more than any other Sign, the Second Ray of Love Wisdom throughout our local universe. The planet Venus is the esoteric or Soul ruler of Gemini, transmitting the 5th Ray energy of Higher Mind. By spiritual resonance, we are linked with the energy of the Lord of the Fifth Ray — the most developed of all the Ray Lords.  The religious festivals of Humanity such as we are now in link with the "heavens" — the Heavenly Rays.

One of the names for the 5th Ray Lord conveys sacred knowledge. A high purpose of its expression will flow through science, including the science of the Soul. As we consciously make our alignments and participate with the sacred knowledge we have been given, we avail ourselves of opportunities hitherto unknown. Divine energy will be contacted, known, invoked and "released" through the means of prepared channels.

As Humanity — the World Disciple and Divine Center in the Body of the Planetary Logos becomes more conscious and unified, participating with esoteric knowledge, it will unlock a unique opportunity to fulfill the Plan of God. Specifically, the purifying streams of the “new world” religions will have a supremely important role to play.

In the meantime — individually and as consecrated groups, by stocking ourselves with sacred knowledge, we also prepare ourselves for the stage of becoming pure channels, receptive to the pure reason of the Buddhic plane. We play an active role, we come into Being "in the right place and at the right time". Rightly oriented and poised, we fulfil an important function for energy alignments to bring to fruition what only Humanity can fulfill.  

The Ageless Wisdom brings us the sacred knowledge of the Solar Angels Who came to Earth through the great star Sirius, via our Sun, thence Venus. Venus is considered the alter Ego, or Soul to the Earth acting much like our Soul acts upon our earthen personality. During this time of year, the planet Venus and Solar Angelic contact are uniquely supported for aspiring Humanity and aspiring Earth when brought en rapport (in relationship) with God Transcendent.

The influence of Venus (via our birth charts) during this time of year cannot be underestimated or underplayed. Contacting the Solar Angel is made easier. As divine intermediaries and divine mathematicians, they can effect precise subtle changes in the delicate constructions of the Egoic Lotus of the human instrument (found on the etheric 2nd sub-plane of the 7-fold Mental Plane). Here to accelerate our human evolution, they modify and enhance, strengthen and assist in fulfilling in achieving that great expression known as "the Mind that is in Christ".  Through exquisite mathematical precision, the Solar Angels know what energies to stimulate, unfold and release in our developmental unfoldment.  We are in God’s hands when in the Hands of the Solar Angel.

The Solar Angel is poised and 'ready' for conscious contact during this time when during Gemini the heavenly channels are aligned and open to Venus (esoteric Soul transmitter (ruler) of Gemini) presupposing we do our part by right orientation, alignment and meditation in Their direction — if we so choose.  Let us so choose.

This is but one example of the Science of the Soul and the Science of Invocation and Evocation. The 5th Ray of Science will increasingly be with us in the coming Age of Aquarius as it continues to unfold.  


THE SOLAR ANGELs

We prepare for the great Feast of Pentecost with the Solar Angels, the "returning Nirvanis" (Blissful Solar Angels) from an earlier solar system, serving as our Higher Selves, as the Soul in us - betwixt Spirit and form, until the time of reunion with Spirit 'is our own'.  The Solar Angels are said to be "Initiates of all degrees" and are members of the Council Chamber of the Sun awaiting a call for renewed activity by the Cosmic Christ and the planetary Logos.  A sense of Their very high Estate is gained when considering that not even the Masters of Love-Wisdom except in their very high ranks are members of the Council Chamber of Shamballa — a Planetary Center of the Will of God.  And yet, these very great Beings have placed Their eyes upon us.  

In our ritual Observance of the Feast of Pentecost, we include the Solar Angels to augment this Festival upon hearing the words of the Master that the church Festival of Pentecost will be one of two primary Festivals celebrated in the new age.  The Solar Angels serve a divine function for moving Humanity forward to meet the time schedule for the Planetary and Solar Logos. It is through the Agency of the Solar Angels that the Guardian Angel (a stepped down reflection) “walks with each human being from the moment of birth until death, embodying as much of the available light as the man—at any given moment upon the path of evolution—can use and express."  (Esoteric Psychology-II,357)

The Solar Angels' deepest origins date back to the First Solar System where They passed through the human stage and are now far beyond this lower evolution.  From the Pleiades to Sirius to the Heart of the Sun, to Venus and the Earth they descended, arriving 21 million years ago at the request of the Solar Logos to help hasten the evolutionary process on Earth. They implanted the ‘spark of mind’ in the brains of the most developed among the animal kingdom, which led to the birth of the Fourth Kingdom of Nature, Humanity.  The Solar Angels work is to stimulate the nascent “Mind of Christ”, hence the term "the Sons of Mind" refers to us as animal men in those early days.  They are our greatest eternal Friend, and are ever-present with us. Their task is to bring us en rapport with our True Soul — the Spiritual Triad, and finally with our God-Self — the Full Potential Self  Spirit — the Presence  the Monad to Whose Home we return ‘whence we came'.  This is the greatest Story ever to be told. Until that 'Day Be with Us' when we stand face to face with The Presence and merge with that Identity — the Full Potential God Self, our divine intermediary shall remain with us as our “Higher Self” — the "Angel of the Presence".

Named Hearts of Fiery Love, bringing the fire of Loving Intelligence into the “minds of men” anchored that spark upon the mental plane (the plane of Fire). These Hearts of Fire could not descend further into lower planes. After long aeons of time, humans slowly became conscious, focused upon the higher mental planes, allowing the Solar Angel to activate and further awaken into ‘working law’ the long awaited soul-infusion process.

As the [hu]man seeks to reach control of the mind, the soul in its turn becomes more actively aggressiveThe work of the solar Angel has hitherto been largely in its own world and concerned with its relation to spirit, and with this the man, working through his cycles on the physical plane, has had no concern.  The main expenditure of energy by the soul has been general, and outward-going into the fifth kingdom [the Kingdom of Souls where live the Masters of Love-Wisdom]Now the solar Angel approaches a time of crisis and of re-orientation.  In the early history of humanity there was a great crisis which we call individualisation.  At that time the solar Angels, in response to a demand or a pull from the race of animal-men (as a whole, note that), sent a portion of their energy, embodying the quality of mentalization, to these animal-men.  They fecundated [germinated], if I might so express it, the brain.  Thus was humanity brought into being.  This germ, however, carried within it two other potentialities, that of spiritual love and spiritual life.  These must in due time make their appearance."

“The flowering forth of the mind in men, which so distinguishes the present age, indicates to the solar Angel a second crisis, of which the first was but the symbol.  That for which the solar Angel exists is making its presence felt within humanity, and another strong pull is being exerted upon the solar Angel which this time will produce a second fecundation.  This will give to man those qualities which will enable him to transcend human limitations, and become a part of the fifth or spiritual Kingdom in nature.  The first effort of the solar Angel turned animal-men into human beings; the second will turn human beings into spiritual entities, plus the gains of experience in the human family."  (Treatise on White Magic, 88)

CONTEMPLATE the solar Angel giving to us qualities that will enable transcending our human limitations, ‘turning us into a spiritual entity’.

ʘ

Contact with the Solar Angel will unfold latent hidden potencies of the universal Soul.  The unfolding spiritual life - ideas meditated upon, accepted as true and applied in life are released as hidden treasures from 'the upper chamber’ of the Soul.  Led from the unreal to the Real, we come alive.  This aliveness is the harvest.  

Entering a greater light of the Sun, we escape the darkness.  The 'lightness of being', renewing joy, intuitional fields of expanded awareness, the power to heal … are revealed and increasingly take hold.  Every Soul-inspired experience spirals toward a new dimension of freedom and expanded consciousness — of Awareness. 

Let us be aware of these "appearances" as the fruits of the harvest. 

OPENING MEDITATION - Part I

ʘ LET US BRING our awareness to the 12-Petaled Heart in the Crown Center (the thousand petaled lotus), and sound the sacred Word, OM … allowing Cosmic Christ energy flowing through Gemini to pour through all our subtle bodies and their centers — cleansing, purging, and releasing mis-qualified energy … thence heightening and raising our vibration in synchrony with the peaceful Presence of the Soul. OM

ʘ Sounding once again the sacred Word, OM — with a Breath of Life and intense spiritual aspiration, let us raise our awareness to the “True Soul-Self” — the Triune Soul 00 the Trinity of the One Life, One Heart and One Universal Mind — that the fullness of Christhood IS.

ʘ In a gesture of reception … allow the energies thus contacted to flow through you/us now … as sacred fires of Spirit flow through the open channel of the Soul to the ‘man / woman' on the ground of daily living’.

Let us now expand our awareness by stepping into the consecrated Soul Star Group — a Sphere of living Light and Love, seeing ourselves gathered in unified group approach to Divinity … preparing to experience the sacred mystery of Pentecost unfolding throughout these days.

OM

ʘ LET US Visualize each Soul standing in the radiance of the Christ Circle … blended into One unified and magnanimous whole — powered by a Sphere of living Light, Love and Holy Will … expanding beyond the boundaries and confines of earth time and space.

OM

Let us NOW be aware of the living field of the Spiritual Hierarchy.

Let us recognize the third aspect of Divinity as the Holy Spirit, the Divine Mother, in perfected relationship with the Christ, the Lord of Love.

Let us recognize the great Beings of Shambhala comprising the Divine Center of the Will of God, informing this divine triplicity. 

Let us bring to Mind the Soul of Humanity serving the Plan of God.

With our thoughts upon the Christ and Spiritual Hierarchy, let us confirm ~

Let Light, and Love and Power Restore the Plan on Earth

Or sound the Great Invocation in its entirety — Words to the GI can be found below at the end of Part II)

OM

(Continue with the Meditation of the Solar Angel)


MEDITATION with the SOLAR ANGEL

◊ To come “en rapport” (in close harmonious union) with the Solar Angel ~ invite the Angel of the Presence to be present with us now by sending a beam of Light and Love to the Solar Angel … Pause for a registered response (subtle at first and more “real” as we build a bridge of connection with this great Being).

◊ Sense the touch … the indwelling, radiant Presence … thence silently (or softly aloud) sound the sacred Word, Om, to vibrationally confirm its Presence with us … touching our awareness.

Let us Be With the Angel of the Presence for as long as we sense it right to do so … Allowing the Angel to work within now ... expanding our awareness, making subtle inner alignments, adjusting every frequency ... as a divine Mathematician working with precision and divine proportion.

In right timing, affirm: 'The renewing gift of Solar Angelic Love and Intelligence flows through me now — through all my Centers … correcting imbalances, restoring divine order, stimulating well-being, attracting right conditions … and allowing for a true expression of my ‘True Soul-Self' — the Full Potential Self. As Within, So Without — Above and Below.

OM

THE FIFTH RAY PURPOSE OF DEITY

“A beam of light illuminates the form; the hidden now appears. Knowledge of God and how He veils Himself finds consummation in the thoughts of man. The energies and forces receive their secret names, reveal their inner purpose, and all is seen as rhythm, a returning on itself. The great scroll can now be read. God's purpose and His plans are fixed, and man can read the form.

The plan takes form. The plan is form. Its purpose is the revelation of the mind of God. The past reveals the form, but the present indicates the flowing in of energy.

That which is on its way comes as a cloud which veils the sun. But hid behind this cloud of immanence is love, and on the earth is love and in the heaven is love, and this,—the love which maketh all things new—must stand revealed. This is the purpose back of all the acts of this great Lord of Knowledge.” EP-I, 75

As It Relates To PENTECOST

~ PENTE SPIRITUS SANCTUS ~

VENUS

VENUS

The Fifth leads to the Second

The word Pentecost carries within itself the root word, pente, five.  Fifty days passed between Resurrection / Revelation Sunday to Pentecost Sunday. What took place in those 50 days? What is the symbolic meaning behind this number?

As we contemplate correspondences to the sacred number five, we are brought into resonance and en rapport with the 5th Purpose of Deity — and the purpose of the 5th Ray in our lives thereby heightening our understanding of this Purpose. Much can be learned about this Purpose in our lives through the planets and constellations that convey 5th ray energy (such as Venus, Mercury, Capricorn, Leo, …).

Esoterically, the number 5 is the number of the perfected man, the Vitruvian man, who is the perfected human after having mastered the 18 lower sub-planes within himself, thereby earning the rank of Master (5th degree) — symbolically depicted by the five-pointed Star of the inner Christ. This is our Soul destiny. Every Master once stood where we now stand. As members of the Fifth Kingdom of Souls (the Spiritual Hierarchy), they serve as Spiritual Guides to a still greater Destiny. In preparation Deep, we come to know the harvest of Pentecost — the Holy Spirit and “Gift Waves” of the Christ pour through our purified, prepared instruments.

In this solar system, the 5th ray of science, flows strong through the planet Venus. Here again we find correspondences to the Solar Angels Who came through Venus, bringing Solar Fire to Man and Earth.

God is a consuming Fire — the Fire of LOVE. The Lord of the Fifth Ray stands in potent relationship with the Lord of the Second Ray of Love Wisdom. Five leads to Two — the Second Ray of Love Wisdom. One of the Names for the 5th Ray Lord is The Rose of God. The goal of this Solar System is to become a complete Love system before the light of the Sun burns low, billions of years from now.  All Rays bow humbly before the great synthetic Ray of LOVE.

The Tibetan Master beautifully describes the truth and function of the 5th Ray Lord for our CONTEMPLATION:

"That which is on its way comes as a cloud which veils the sun. But hid behind this cloud of immanence is love and in the heaven[s] is love, and this—the love which maketh all things new—must stand revealed. This is the purpose back of all the acts of this great Lord of Knowledge".  

"Knowledge of God and how He veils Himself finds consummation in the thoughts of man".  

(EP-I, 75)

Having contemplated the above diamond truths to penetrate "the heart-mind", we are confirming ~ 

A "love-filled mind" linked with the 5th purpose of Deity — reveals "the love which maketh all things new".  

The mantric phrase, 'Let the Mind that is in Christ Be in Me (You) Now’ takes on new meaning as a renewing and revelatory potency of LOVE informing the entire Universe.

Allowing these energies to flow through our Being on this Day, giving 5 minutes of every hour to it, 'The Mind that is in Christ Is With Us Now’.

OM

ʘ


On Pentecost Sunday, the Fire of the HOLY SPIRIT descended upon the prepared assembly.

We are likewise preparing.

As we repeatedly bring to mind the deeper metaphysical meaning behind the Biblical story of the “upper chamber” wherein “the disciples met and arrived at a true recognition of the Risen Christ and at a perfect and complete understanding of each other”, this deeper meaning becomes indelibly impressed upon us.

The fruits of Soul Harvest are revealed in the Upper Chamber of the Soul ~ the Holy of Holies. 

The portal to the upper chamber is opening …

As the channel of reception to the True Soul deepens and widens, the sense of being ‘lived-through’ by the Holy Spirit becomes a consistent and powerful realization.

May ‘The Spirit of the Lord within you be so overwhelming that it becomes the most important and visible reality in your entire life.’

"THE ROSE OF GOD"


ROSE OF GOD - SRI AUROBINDO

Rose of God, vermilion stain on the sapphires of heaven,
Rose of Bliss, fire-sweet, seven-tinged with the ecstasies seven!
Leap up in our heart of humanhood, O miracle, O flame,
Passion-flower of the Nameless, bud of the mystical Name.

Rose of God, great wisdom-bloom on the summits of being,
Rose of Light, immaculate core of the ultimate seeing!
Live in the mind of our earthhood; O golden Mystery, flower,
Sun on the head of the Timeless, guest of the marvelous Hour.

Rose of God, damask force of Infinity, red icon of might,
Rose of Power with thy diamond halo piercing the night!
Ablaze in the will of the mortal, design the wonder of thy plan,
Image of Immortality, outbreak of the Godhead in man.

Rose of God, smitten purple with the incarnate divine Desire,
Rose of Life, crowded with petals, colour's lyre!
Transform the body of the mortal like a sweet and magical rhyme;
Bridge our earthhood and heavenhood, make deathless the children of Time.

Rose of God like a blush of rapture on Eternity's face,
Rose of Love, ruby depth of all being, fire-passion of Grace!
Arise from the heart of the yearning that sobs in Nature's abyss:
Make earth the home of the Wonderful and life Beatitude's kiss.
