Introduction
In this rapidly changing environment of global events, it has recently seen the introduction of new moon newsletters – to the long-established full moon newsletters, that have been running for over 20 years now.
Naturally this has incurred alot more work, but as I write under inspiration – these missives will continue to be sent out. The only change will be that some newsletters will be more of a “no frills” affair, as it can take quite a while to source illustrations and charts. Sometimes it takes a whole day after completing one of the longer full moon newsletters.
This is worth mentioning also because all of my books in the Soul Cycles of the Seven Rays (Vols. I-VI) series are profusely illustrated, as is the companion series, Destiny of the Races and Nations (Vols. I-VI).
Have an interesting Capricorn new moon!

Balsamic Moon, Capricorn New Moon and Aquarius
In a recent post there was a discussion about Capricorn, the underworld and initiation:
“[Capricorn] … the sign in which is inaugurated a new cycle of effort, whether this effort is in connection with the individual man or with the initiate. Effort, strain, struggle, the fight with the *forces native to the underworld*, or the strenuous conditions entailed by the tests of discipleship or initiation—these are distinctive of experience in Capricorn.”1
The “underworld” is where the battle is now on in earnest, the Dweller on the Threshold for Humanity is now highly visible in human affairs. The ancient testings for initiation took place in the dark (the under-world), where the candidate struggled through tests and trials toward the light.
Similar to this theme, we are now in the monthly balsamic phase of the moon (Jan.15-18), leading to the Capricorn new moon. And what an extraordinary new moon – Sun, Moon, Mercury and Mars all conjunct in the last 4 degrees of this sign.
In her excellent book, “Finding Our Way Through the Dark” – Demetra George “reframes the negative meanings associated with the Balsamic Moon phase, the 12th House, the South Node, Pluto transits, eclipses, Dark Goddess asteroids, the dark moon.”
Hence, this 8th and final phase of the moon’s monthly cycle is an opportunity for deep reflection and release, before the new moon and its symbolism – a fresh start, clean slate or blank canvas. Relatively speaking of course!
Yet this phase is also known for its difficulty and bringing on depression, “something so widespread that few escape its attacks … It is prevalent in the dark half of the moon, the period towards the end of the waning moon and the early new moon.” ((A Treatise on White Magic, Alice A. Bailey. p.307.))
Yet the combination of the balsamic moon phase with the “Capricorn underworld” makes this new moon particularly potent, for ongoing exposure of what is hidden – the denizens of the underworld are being increasingly revealed.
Capricorn the careful planner, ruled by serious Saturn – the mind, bringing emotional discipline. Also a determination to set goals and pursue long-term aspirations. Mars exalted in this sign drives and strives toward the mountain-top of initiation. Mercury the mediator and messenger, encourages clear, effective discussion and negotiation.
This Capricorn stellium also trines Uranus as it passes through earthy Taurus – a great combination for organisation, a well-known trait of Capricorn because the 7th ray of organisation passes through it – and Uranus is this ray’s ruler.
The Capricorn stellium is also part of a larger stellium that involves Venus conjunct Pluto in early Aquarius. As a sign following Capricorn, Aquarius is impelled to reform and reorganise the status quo created by Capricorn, that which has become crystallised.
Aquarius is an intellectual air sign, differing from mentally-oriented and earthy Capricorn. Aquarius differs due to its rulership by Uranus – the so-called “planet of science” – representing progressive thought that ventures beyond Saturn’s “ring-pass-not”, or “thinks outside the box”.
Furthermore, the only ray to pass through Aquarius is the 5th ray of knowledge or science, ruled by Venus – “sister planet” to Earth. It is also stated in Esoteric Astrology that Pluto is “cerebral” and “first felt in the mental body”:
“[Pluto] … governs the death or cessation of old ideas and emotions, and its influence is therefore largely cerebral and in that you have the clue to its late discovery. Mankind is only on the verge of becoming mental. Its effects are felt first in the mental body.”2
Therefore, this new moon has a plethora of planets that blend aspects of mind (Saturn and Uranus), of re-ordering and reform in this cycle of Uranian disruption of the Capricorn status quo.
Yet, it also empowers the current status quo, in terms of their dominating and dictatorial edicts – around free speech for example, being fought out all over the world – particularly in the USA, UK and Australia.
And naturally this new moon plants the seed for the Aquarius full moon festival two weeks later (Feb. 2), where there is a stunning stellium of the Sun and four planets in Aquarius! (Five counting Vulcan.)
Revolution, rebellion, reform, restructuring – another potent seed-point approaches as we pass into the Age of Aquarius.
USA Invades Venezuela
This is a complex story with many layers to it. Various reports say that between 40 to 80 people were killed in the raid on Caracas. As a postscript to the recent Capricorn newsletter and before the news about Maduro’s kidnapping – it was written,
“The Moon-Earth conjunction fell directly on USA’s Cancer sun – in its 1776 horoscope. This will no doubt have a potent effect upon the nation and its 2nd ray soul – which Jupiter rules.
Transiting Venus and Mars are also conjunct the Sun in Capricorn, amplifying this dynamic. Will the point of least resistance be to indulge in more militant Mars action or fall into a greater alignment with USA’s soul?”
Well the former option was exercised on that Jan.3 full moon, or was that a fool’s moon? In August 2025, there was commentary upon the USA’s Sun in Cancer square Saturn in Libra, a portion of which is below:
“This full moon for August 9, 2025 has a particular relevance for the USA, with transiting Jupiter conjunct USAs’ Sun in Cancer which is conjunct Sirius, so prominent in the month of August, Leo.
The founding fathers, Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson were known to have an interest in astrology – often consulting astrological charts to make important decisions; some were Masons, where the tradition of Sirius is well-known.
The soul ray of the USA is the Sun/Jupiter-ruled second ray of Love-Wisdom. Therefore, the impact of Jupiter exactly conjunct USA’s Sun at this Aug.9 full moon, is a strong stimulus for the soul of the nation to shine forth. The key tension is the activation of natal Sun in Cancer square to Saturn in Libra.
Sun square Saturn can often indicate a hard line approach to law, such as the “rules-based order” mantra, “three strikes and you’re out”, the privatisation of the US prison system – or draconian laws relating to the arrest of public protestors.
Saturn in Libra is exalted in this sign, symbolising the foundational US Constitution, amplifying the theme of Libra’s scales of justice.
Therefore, the challenge for blending USA’s 2nd ray soul purpose and the Sirian liberation theme, must overcome the lower expression of Saturn in Libra, invoking its higher note of justice and fairness – of following the higher laws and principles that are reflected in our earthly laws.
Hence, some high tensions – between now and the end of 2025, regarding national and international law, the flouting of which has been increasing in recent years.”3
The key paragraph here is, “… must overcome the lower expression of Saturn in Libra, invoking its higher note of justice and fairness”.
The Cancer-Capricorn axis of the Jan. 3 full moon, activated the Jupiter transit of Aug. 9. Currently, very divided perspectives see sweet Sirius and Liberation, others – more greed and slavery. USA made its imperialistic attack on Venezuela, acting with impunity and flouting international law.
There were justifications of narco-trafficking by Venezuela, yet Trump recently pardoned former Honduran President Hernández after being convicted for his involvement in a drug trafficking scheme that moved over 400 tons of cocaine (!) to the U.S.
Has USA realised its esoteric motto: “I light the Way.”? Working in the dark “underworld” of Capricorn appears to be the current focus, as discussed in the Jan. 3 Capricorn newsletter:
“… the sign in which is inaugurated a new cycle of effort, whether this effort is in connection with the individual man or with the initiate. Effort, strain, struggle, the fight with the *forces native to the underworld*, or the strenuous conditions entailed by the tests of discipleship or initiation—these are distinctive of experience in Capricorn.”4
The “underworld” is where the battle is now on in earnest, the Dweller on the Threshold for Humanity is now highly visible in human affairs. The ancient testings for initiation took place in the dark (the under-world), where the candidate struggled through tests and trials toward the light.
“Materialism, the fight for the satisfaction of personal ambitions, and the conflict with higher spiritual tendencies goes steadily forward, and this most material of all the signs is the battleground of the old established order and habits and the new and higher inclinations and tendencies.”5
Indeed, “the old established order”: USA appears to be starkly at odds with other nations that are building constructive bridges of co-operation with one another.
Some have asked, what is the astrological significance for the date of early January, regarding US coups? On January 3, the Sun is always at 13° Capricorn, creating a T-square to USA’s Sun in Cancer square Saturn in Libra.
Sun square Saturn can be interpreted as the world’s self-appointed policeman, especially as USA’s Cancer Sun rules the ninth house of foreign nations. Cancer can be a sign of hoarding – at a personal or global level. (Alexander the Great, a hoarder of countries and continents, had Sun and Venus in Cancer!)
Of course this is not the USA’s first rodeo of coups in Latin America: “The U.S. has intervened in regime changes in Latin America at least 41 times from 1898 to 1994, with direct military involvement in 17 cases and indirect support in 24 others.”6
These coups are usually determined by the CIA – and most US presidents have been obliged to run with their plans. The CIA has Scorpio rising, a perfect expression for a clandestine agency which has now turned into a rogue organisation – a law unto itself. Apparently, even CIA directors do not know what some departments of the CIA are doing!
CIA works hand in glove with the Mossad and Britain’s MI6, a shadowy triangle with hundreds of thousands of staff and virtually unlimited budgets – not necessarily in Humanity’s best interests.
In the culture of all these spy agencies there is a well-known pride and arrogance, superiority and exceptionalism – that enables acting with impunity and self-justification. (The glamour of James Bond.)
The fact that this invasion was about the world’s largest oil deposits in Venezuela was no secret, and for the US administration, it is also about keeping Russia and China out of South America.
President Trump said,
“We’re gonna take back the oil that frankly we should have taken back a long time ago,” Trump told the press following Maduro’s abduction, saying “We’re going to be taking out a tremendous amount of wealth out of the ground, and that wealth is going to the people of Venezuela, and people from outside of Venezuela that used to be in Venezuela, and it goes also to the United States of America in the form of reimbursement for the damages caused us by that country.” (“take back”? “damages reimbursement”?]
“We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country, and we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so,” Trump said.
“We’re going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition,” Trump said. “So we don’t want to be involved with having somebody else get in.
And we have the same situation that we had for the last long period of years. So we are going to run the country until such time as we can do a safe, proper and judicious transition.” [“judicious”? – after an illigal invasion?]
“We’re not afraid of boots on the ground,” the president said. “And we have to have, we had boots on the ground last night at a very high level. Actually, we’re not afraid of it, we’re we don’t mind saying it, but we’re going to make sure that that country is run properly. We’re not doing this in vain.”
One US senator said, “Second unjustified war in my life time. This war is illegal, it’s embarrassing that we went from the world cop to the world bully in less than one year.”
But it might be a bit too late for that, given China’s steady development of infrastructure throughout South America in the past twenty years.
China and Russia expressed strong condemnation – Russia expressed “extreme alarm”, calling it an “act of armed aggression”, demanding clarification. China described it as a “blatant use of force” that violates international law and threatens regional peace. Both countries emphasised the importance of respecting Venezuela’s sovereignty.
Now it appears that the USA is belatedly trying to force a change in its favour by kidnapping Maduro, taking over management of Venezuela’s oil and rich mineral resources.
It is also unconstitutional and represents yet more actions taken by the USA without congressional approval, severely undermining not only what is left of the nation’s own democratic system, but the international “rules based order”.
The trend of some nations “going rogue” and acting with impunity is deeply worrying, as what is to stop other nations responding accordingly? Then chaos reigns and world war looms, which it appears some are trying to incite.
Yet at the same time many of those laws need overhauling and updating, hence these disruptions can lead to a response by other nations to step up and hold to account.

Sun, Mars, Venus Conjunct in Capricorn: Initiation
A few random thoughts on this conjunction (Jan.8-9, 2026.)
This powerful conjunction in Capricorn – a major sign of initiation, will be in the same 19th degree from January 8-9: 8 being the number of the Christ and 9 the number of initiation:
“Nine is the number of initiation. It presupposes the alignment of three different triplicities: 1. The threefold Personality. 2. The three aspects of the Soul. 3. The Spiritual Triad.”7
The Sabian symbol for the 19th degree of Capricorn is, “A child of about five carrying a huge shopping bag.”
Meaning “Themes of innocence, responsibility and the burdens that go with freedom. The importance of maintaining a playful spirit, in the face of serious or heavy responsibilities. The weight of expectations and duties that comes with spiritual maturity.”8
Initiation is a serious business, not to be taken lightly. In the last several years Humanity has been undergoing initiation en masse. For various groupings – from the most basic through to the more advanced.
Venus in Capricorn “will enable man to take initiation” – due to the fact that it rules the 5th ray of knowledge, so prominent in our Fifth Rootrace that is rapidly achieving mental expansion and control.
Also because Venus is the “hierarchical” ruler of Capricorn and is connected to the “Mystery of Makara”. In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali it is said,
“The mental body has five activities and has a correspondence to the 5th principle as it manifests upon the 5th plane – the mental. These modifications are the lower shadow of manas (or mind in the microcosmic manifestation), and this mind is a reflection of mahat (the universal mind), or mind manifesting in the macrocosm.
This is a great mystery but will reveal itself to the man who overcomes the five modifications of the lower mind, who through non-attachment to the lower, identifies himself with the higher, and who thus solves the mystery of the “Makara” and treads the Way of the Kumaras.”9
Mars is exalted in Capricorn and is the God of War – its presence in early 2026 is noted! The point of least resistance in the material world sees this triple conjunction in Capricorn opposite Jupiter in Cancer as the current fight over territory and resources: Take your pick – Venezuela, Gaza, Greenland, Cuba or Columbia!
“Mars is the Producer of conflicts and in this earthly sign Mars triumphs in the early stages of the evolution … and in the life history of the undeveloped or average man. Materialism, the fight for the satisfaction of personal ambitions, and the conflict with higher spiritual tendencies goes steadily forward, and this most material of all the signs is the battleground of the old established order and habits and the new and higher inclinations and tendencies.”10
Mars is the dominating factor in the tests and trials of the disciple, prior to initiation in Capricorn: “Mars establishes relations between the opposites and is a beneficent and not a malefic factor, as is so often supposed.”
Hence, considering this triple conjunction of Sun, Mars and Venus in Capricorn, it represents a nodal point of discipline and responsibility that must be taken in order to stand before the Initiator – symbolically for many¸ in actuality for some.
Mars and Venus have a long historical relationship – mythologically as ardent lovers, the so-called “masculine” Mars and “feminine” Venus who blend and merge in the “divine coniunctio”. Here is the proverbial theme of sex and Eros – or “Fohat”:
“Cupid or Love in his primitive sense is Eros, the Divine Will, or Desire of manifesting itself through visible creation. Thence Fohat, the prototype of Eros, becomes on Earth the great power “Life-electricity,” or the Spirit of “Life-giving.”.”11
Hence, the Mars-Venus conjunction represents esoterically the control of emotion-desire (Mars) by the mind (Venus), a “tantric” marriage of sorts bringing personality refinement and integration, creating a fitter vehicle through which soul purpose can manifest. A higher marriage can then be effected between the soul and personality.
This triple conjunction in Capricorn is opposite Jupiter in Cancer: The ruler of the heart centre and 2nd ray of love-wisdom – opposite Mars, ruler of the solar plexus centre. Here is an opportunity to accelerate the ongoing evolutionary brief for Humanity: The raising of forces from the “clearing house” of the solar plexus into the fiery crucible of the heart.
Jupiter is exalted in Cancer,
“The building of adequate forms and the use and control of form are essential if there is to be wise and right cooperation with the Plan of God. Jupiter guarantees this in Cancer from the very initial stage of birth.
Love as relationship to divinity and wisdom as relationship to form lie behind the soul’s intent. In space and time, for long aeons, form controls and hides the soul. This is equally true in regard to the fluid psychic nature.
These (the form aspect and the psychic nature) reach an eventual concrete perfection in Capricorn to become again in Cancer the perfect instrument of service which the initiate wields as he seeks to render mass service instead of being involved and lost in the mass.”12

Capricorn, the Law and Lawlessness
Capricorn is ruled by Saturn at both the exoteric and esoteric level. Saturn is the most well-known of the “four lords of karma”, a transmitter for the greater Sirian Law of Karma in our solar system.
Hence, Saturn’s close relationship to the Cancer-Capricorn polarity – two of seven zodiac signs that transmit Sirian force. Sirius is the “higher self” to our solar system as a whole.
Saturn and Capricorn concern Earthly laws that approximate the greater Sirian Law – the source of cosmic manas that translates as Love-Wisdom in our solar system. Saturn is also associated with Libra where it is exalted, a sign well-know for its theme of the law and justice.
Today, the world is witnessing the breaking down of international law, not only through one well-established rogue state that has ignored the United Nations, but through its domination and control of the USA, that is becoming a law unto itself within and without the nation.
Yet during this interim period of the zodiacal ages – the “chaos of the cusp”, and the cycle of the Kali Yuga – all is in flux. Destruction of crystallised forms is par for the course and very much needed. Pluto the Destroyer is the soul ruler of the passing age of Pisces and has been very active in this past century.
With the Sun and several planets currently passing through Capricorn, an awareness of the Law, cosmic or earthly – is stimulated and at the same time the fact that Capricorn is a sign more prone to crystallisation more than any other:
“When crystallisation has reached a certain degree of density and so-called “hardness,” it is easily shattered and destroyed and man, born in Capricorn, then brings about his own destruction; this is due to his fundamentally materialistic nature, plus the “blows of fate” which are the enactments of the law of karma. [Saturn ruler of Capricorn.]
Again and again, a certain measure of concreteness is achieved, only again to undergo destruction, prior to the release of the life and the rebuilding of the form.”13
Hence, old laws that have outlived their usefulness or have become perverted in one way or another, must inevitably succumb to the wrecking ball of human evolution. Also inevitable is that some useful and important laws will be swept aside in the wave of destruction – the proverbial “baby thrown out with the bathwater”. Advantage will be taken of the ensuing chaos by some selfish entities.
Destruction and dismantling must occur right across the board, in cherished and not so cherished institutions: In business, religion and politics – in the arts and sciences, in education, judiciary and the military.
Here is the revolutionary force of Uranus as the US – founded on revolution, approaches its third Uranus return by July 2027. Uranus and revolution are related to lawlessness of the people as they reject state imposition. Lawlessness by government is another thing altogether, acting with impunity and inviting checks, balances and uprisings by the populace or other nations.
Due to ongoing national divisiveness, another factor that hints at civil war is Neptune’s imminent entry into Aries, its position at the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1860.
We are used to hearing countless descriptions of Israel “acting with impunity”, now through extensive Zionist networks globally, that virus has been well and truly installed in the United States of America. (Now referred to by some as The United States of Israel.)
The USA is now acting with impunity in the world, due to the Zionist stranglehold over the US administration, especially Donald Trump – over whom the Epstein files hang like a Sword of Damocles.
The “greater Israel” ideology has now expanded globally, manipulating the USA to do its bidding with regard to the acquisition (or stealing) of land and resources, creating further conflicts with Middle Eastern nations.
This is all a continuation of decades of such manipulation, most recently the “Wolfowitz doctrine”, a document authored by Zionist neo-con Paul Wolfowitz – which gives the key to understanding USA’s geopolitical policy.
This is connected to neocon policy of needing a “Pearl Habour” kind of event to bring about their ideological changes, resulting in 9/11 and the subsequent attack on Iraq – through the well-proven lie of non-existent “weapons of mass destruction”.
This is also related to General Wesley Clark’s infamous memo from Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz that stated: “We’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.”
Through Israel’s recent unmasking over Gaza’s genocide, millions are now more aware of the Zionist ideology that has nothing to do with Judaism, but has used it for its political ends. The penny is dropping with a loud clang – louder than the sound of bombs raining down on Gaza.
Now that their ideology has been exposed for the lie that it is, the decades-long indoctrination upon Jews and Gentiles alike, Zionists are making more desperate and foolhardy decisions as they try to retain some semblance of the shredded narrative.
Allied to this is Netanyahu who has several legal actions pending, which he avoids by starting one conflict after another in a bid to distract and stay in power. On Jan.4, 2026, Ben Sagi, president of the Be’er Sheva District Court, was killed in a suspicious traffic accident when an off-road vehicle strangely veered onto the highway and struck his motorcycle.
The day before was Jan. 3, the full moon invasion of Venezuela. A few days earlier on Dec 29, 2025, Netanyahu had been staying with Trump at Mar-a-Lago in Florida, discussing “peace in Gaza”. (That was his unprecendented fifth visit to the USA in one year!)
The next day Dec.30, Netanyahu gave a softball interview to Israel-friendly Newsmax, planting the seed of obvious pre-planning and intention regarding Venezuela. (Comments at 4’12” in this video: https://youtu.be/hX_BwlUsIz4.)14
Since this was written, the Iran invasion has been called off as Israel was “not ready”! More in the Aquarius newsletter, where no doubt events will have changed again.
Australia Rejects Proposed Anti-Semiticism Bill
As a heartening follow-up to the Bondi Beach massacre and subsequent bullying from Israel and Zionist groups,
“The Australian Greens have essentially killed the anti-Semitism hate speech bill by demanding that other religions (not just Judaism) be protected by the law so that Australians are equal citizens.”15
Furthermore, as a result of the boycotting of Palestinian writer Randa Abdel-Fattah – at the Adelaide International Writers Festival – 180 attendees immediately pulled out, resulting in this long-running festival being cancelled for 2026 and the resignation of its director.
However, Abdel-Fattah will be invited to the festival in 2027, following a somewhat disingenuous apology from the festival’s board. The resigned director is Louise Adler, a Jewish woman who made a courageous and principled stand. Her ABC Australia interview is worth watching.

Sirian Law
What is this, Phillip?
Good question Angela! And the answer is deeply esoteric for many students. In A Treatise on Cosmic Fire (Bailey), The Tibetan writes:
“The Intermediate Law of Karma.—There is also an intermediate law, which is the synthetic law of the system of Sirius. This law is called by the generic term, the Law of Karma, and really predicates the effect the Sirian system has on our solar system. Each of the two systems, as regards its internal economy, is independent in time and space, or (in other words), in manifestation.
We have practically no effect on our parent system, the reflex action is so slight as to be negligible, but very definite effects are felt in our system through causes arising in Sirius. These causes, when experienced as effects, are called by us the Law of Karma, and at the beginning they started systemic Karma which, once in effect, constitutes that which is called Karma in our occult and oriental literature.
The Lipika Lords of our system, the systemic Lords of Karma, are under the rule of a greater corresponding Lord on Sirius.
We have therefore:
1. The three cosmic laws of Synthesis, Attraction and Economy.
2. The Sirian law of Karma.
3. The seven laws of the solar system.
As we have been told, our seven major vibrations [rays] are the vibrations of the lowest cosmic plane; there is our habitat. Our Logos [our Sun] Himself, the heart of His system, is on the cosmic astral plane; he is polarised there. Just as the units of the fourth Creative Hierarchy, the human, are evolving through the use of physical bodies, but are polarised at this time in their astral vehicles, so we have seen that the objective solar system forms the physical body of the Logos, though His polarity is in His astral body.
It is significant that in this greater manvantara, the Logos is to take the fourth cosmic Initiation. A hint which may enlighten lies in the correspondence which exists between this statement and the [Page 571] fourth root-race development, and this, the fourth or astral round.81
The system of the Sirian Logos is on the cosmic mental plane, and in a subtle way, incomprehensible to us, our Logos, with His system, forms a part of a still greater Logos. This does not involve loss of identity, though the matter is too abstruse to express more adequately. It is in this analogy that the basic idea can be found of all teaching given out about the Grand Heavenly Man.
The whole conception of these laws is bound up in this idea. We have the three laws of the cosmic higher planes, holding in a synthesis of beauty the greater and the lesser system. Next we have the great law of Sirius, the Law of Karma, on the third subplane of the cosmic mental plane, which law really controls our Logos, and His actions, in the same way as the ego—in due course of evolution—controls the human personality.”
Is it known what percentage of disciples move on to the Sirian system, and where the rest tend to move on to? Thank you for your Newsletters. Gill
Hi Gillian,
Most of Humanity will take the 4th or Sirian cosmic path, once liberated from Earth evolution. Some quotes:
“… large number of human beings who will become disciples in the Sirian Lodge. This [RI-416] is the true “Blue Lodge,” and to become a candidate in that Lodge, the initiate of the third degree has to become a lowly aspirant, with all the true and full initiations awaiting him “within the sunshine of the major Sun.””
“The initiates who tread this way are primarily those of the fourth and the sixth order. As earlier pointed out, this is the Path that the “lords of compassion” most frequently follow, and at this time the Egyptian Master and the Master Jesus are preparing Themselves to tread it.
The mystics of the Occident who have come into incarnation during the past one thousand years are a peculiar group of Egos whose impulse is towards this type of cosmic energy. In this system they have developed certain basic recognitions and the “ecstasy” of the occidental mystic is the germ, latent within him, which will some day flower forth into that cosmic rapture for which we have as yet no name.
Cosmic rapture and rhythmic bliss are the attributes of the fourth path. It is a form of identification which is divorced from consciousness altogether. The reason also why the majority of the sons of men follow this Path lies in the fact of its numerical position.
These units of the fourth kingdom, the bulk of the fourth Creative Hierarchy on this fourth globe of the fourth scheme in a solar system of the fourth order are innately compelled to seek this fourth WAY in order to perfect themselves. They are called the “blissful dancing points of fanatical devotion.” This is as near as we can get to the true description. They have also been described as the “revolving wheels which turn upon themselves, and find the open door to perfect bliss.”” (TCF1257)
A new age is coming. Perhaps it had to take a bully such as Trump to get things moving, for us to see the opposite of ‘unity’.
Europe is uniting to implement free trade across the world, as was announced within hours of Trump slapping tariffs on all countries who did not agree with him taking Greenland.
But…..it is bringing the world together, to go against Trump. He is so like Steiner’s description of the Antichrist (Sorat, Sun Demon).
Don’t forget though, Trump is only the tip of an iceberg of ideology that has many powerful interests supporting it.
