“Under the Oak, strength of Life”
Meditation-contemplation on the Druid Month of the Oak
(Invocation-evocation of the core of ‘Being’.)
The outer interacting with the inner Self: (to become one)
INVOCATION EVOCATION OF THE DRUID MONTH OF THE OAK:
“Under the Oak, strength of Life”
In front of me I see creative Nature, within me, unseen, creative thought, in between; Life knowing, soul dying, spirit willing, the breath laboriously inhales the exhalation of eternity.
In one moment’s insight of truth, the world dies to itself; consciousness survives the inner and outer creation. Dying gives birth again and again to the point. The circle breaks into the spiral. While my world falls the planet transforms.
No sentiment in that cycle that responds to the leap of courageous Life. Before the form is old, the future enters the past in the Now.
Through creative thought human nature learns self-sufficient responsibility and becomes, self-conscious-intent.
Where I remain, under the Oak, strength of life
The human being ‘love-wisdom’ within, ‘active intelligence without, I know concrete knowledge, devotion and idealism, the transforming power of ‘ceremonial, ritual and magic’, the conscious insight of the miracle.
Before the lord – subjective-objective awareness -, I become the Initiator of time and space, continuum of solar power, the god who sets the head on fire, smoke, the sacrifice, Oak-king of Nemi, transporting the wheel of rebirth beyond the cutting of the silver and the gold.
There, where the unseen yet reveals itself in the seen, in my leap of consciousness a new earth comes into being.
I know that the twelve petals of the lotus of the sky unfold through my innermost self, revealing the hidden core, adjusting to the law of karma without beginning or end.
The flaming sword of the mediator strikes, opening the way, disclosing the heart of the five, six and seven pointed stars, shield of self-conscious will and purpose, coming into existence striving towards ‘Being’.
Under the rainbow of the covenant, I am the golden arrow of desire, aspiration that soars beyond the brick-walls of the mind, inspiration that is creative fire, touching the core, illumination and revelation of all ‘Being’.
POSSIBLE INTERPRETATION OF THE ABOVE IVOCATION-EVOCATION:
“Under the Oak (self-conscious initiative)
Strength of Life, (fire of the mind evoked)
In front of me I see creative Nature, (the spirit of life observable, full of active intelligence)
Within me, unseen, creative thought, (revelation of my inner unfolding self).
In between Life knowing, soul dying, spirit willing, (the fibre or thread of consciousness formative to life)
The breath laboriously inhales the exhalation of eternity, (breath of the creative principle pervades all things, for man on Earth it manifests as eternity-consciousness reflecting universal consciousness.)
In one moment of truth the world dies to itself, (Life is change everlasting in continuous transformation).
Consciousness survives the inner and outer creation, (the ‘spirit of’ or the essence of consciousness, (perceived as the middle point of creative potential of all life-forms) is dependent on human free will and choice for its survival.
Dying gives birth again and again to the point, (death is transformation in physical terms, regeneration of life-forms in a constant state of flux, (change) whether in an atom, a cell, a human, celestial life forms.
The Spiral enters the old, (the double helix of the universe corresponds to the eternal growth of self-knowledge, whose responsibility it is to lift existential life out of a non-principled level.
While my world falls the planet transforms, while the world of glamour and concrete concepts fall apart, earth-kundalini rises growing beyond the circles of measured time.
No sentiment in that cycle, that responds to the leap of conscious life, (existential life responds to the magnetic pull up through the human self becoming aware of its responsibility to existential life.
Before the form is old, the future enters the past in the Now, (the involution-evolution of consciousness redeems past failures in the ‘now’, thus securing a purer future).
Through creative thought human nature learns self-sufficient responsibility and becomes self-conscious creativity, (The creative principle within the universe also lives and breathes and has its being within the inner i.e. self-born man.
Where I remain under the Oak, strength of life, (an awakened mind aware of its responsibility becomes soul-conscious, giving impulse to evolution.
The human being love-wisdom within, active intelligence without, I know concrete knowledge and science, devotion and idealism, transforming powers of the Ritual giving conscious insight of the miracle, oneness of life, and testimony in the month of the Oak. (The human, as the son of mind, comes into existence to unfold and fulfill the seven principles within his constitution, to align planetary to the universal mind, followed by soul-intent that unfolds through the seven cosmic rays, revealing the occult nature of all life-forms.
I become the Initiator of Time and Space, Continuum of solar power, the God that sets the head on fire, smoke, the sacrifice, Oak-King of Nemi. (Every individual earthed is aware of representing the ‘ I am that’, the fiery point within the circle and cycles, the link in the chains rounds, races and cultures, timelessness reflected in time, the unlimited in the limited etc.)
The transporting of the wheel of rebirth beyond the cutting of the silver and the gold, beyond intellectual subjective-objective and collective perception, into the sea-fires of the unconscious etc
There where the unseen yet reveals itself in the seen, my world falls apart, the planet transforms, Human understanding is conditioned, unless it gains access to self-knowledge and its responsibilities, it extinguishes rather than kindles the fiery breath of creation.
In my leap of consciousness a new earth comes into existence. (Planetary Kundalini rises, responding to the conscious growth of man, the measure and oneness of all things great and small).
I know that the twelve petals of the lotus of the sky unfold through my innermost self, revealing the hidden core, adjusting to the law of Karma without beginning or end. (Self-awareness evolves on the wheel of the Zodiac fulfilling individual, planetary and solar Karma).
The flaming sword of the mediator strikes opening the way to the heart of the five, six and seven point star, shield of self-conscious will and purpose, coming into existence striving towards ‘Being’ (Manifestation of the awakened mind on Earth).
Under the rainbow of the covenant, I am the golden arrow of desire, aspiration that soars beyond the brick walls of the mind, inspiration of creative fire touching the core illumination, revelation of all ‘Being’.
The above represents man on earth, an entity born as a living symbol of the whole of organic life, with self-awareness dormant within him, with an embryo consciousness that in time learns to understand the evolutionary right of all life.
In physical terms he is the God-king, building block of the law of karma in which the soul delights, the heart aspires to and the mind’s inspirational thoughts align to the twelve petals of the lotus in the sky (The revelation of eternity consciousness manifesting through the Zodiac).
He represents the fiery breath of creation, serpent path of the evolution of consciousness winding its way up and down the tree between force and form, this involves the psyche, mind and the heart, unfolding the subjective and objective consciousness 6th and 7th principle with the 5th collective unconscious (5th principle) incarnating as continuum-awareness into life on earth.
It is an energy-emanation of the 7 head centres, containing the seven ethers and their seven-fold principles, consumed by the twelve constellations of the evolving ego, fulfilling the laws of this solar system, where every atom is accounted for.
Lament of the human entity in the 21st century;
War and Peace, the Mother of all Battles
Laughter does not light up the eyes for
It does come from within the heart.
Victory brutal and mean to planetary life
Flora -burning flames-, nature manipulated,
There is nothing but buyers and sellers
Traitors of cultures in all colours and shades
There can be no balance in a world where
Manipulation controls beyond limitation
The stress points of decadent minds.
MANIFESTATION OF THE FIVE POINTED HUMAN STAR:
Humanity exploring its potential in existence
Reaching out towards the state of ‘Being’.
(The planets involved are the Sun, Moon and the Earth, Mars and Pluto).
The Earth:
On planet Earth the Elements reveal themselves in the lowest point of the interaction of spirit and matter, physical life-forms. It is the dynamic point of the human psyche, unfolding from within objectified and recorded as the universal language of symbols, since primordial times.
In its originality and conscious intent, it represents the creative life-breath appearing in its energy, in its vigour and capacity of diverse action, radiating throughout physical matter.
The understanding of this manifesting life force has its origin in man’s perception and observations, representing the dynamic balancing point between force and form, from the unconscious to the subjective-objective consciousness and collective consciousness, struggling to evolve by transcending and rising in dimensions, from the seen to the unseen, from the known to the unknown, whose source is one with limitation and the unlimited.
Intelligence is the core of life-forms no matter how small or great, how simple or complex, they appear as the reality of existential life desiring to evolve.
Spirit and matter equalise on earth through ‘self-conscious knowledge’, bringing understanding in crystallised forms, symbols, and conceptual letters and numbers, the unfolding mind individual and universal.,
That includes the fullness of human experience on the wheel of necessity, answerable to the law of karma, interaction between the involution and evolution of Life and Consciousness.
Prose poem of the Earth-entity:
“I am the eternal Mother, radiating time,
The oyster of form, stirring intelligence
Born to survive the bitter sweet dawn
Of the kingdoms of limitation
I am of the substance of Nature
Whispering leaves on the tree
Strength of life under the Oak
Man and the planet together
Stand and endure forever
Torn apart they are in free fall
Beyond the radiation of matter
Individual response:
“Under the Oak, Tree of Initiation, my purpose is; to embrace the kingdoms in existence, so that the song of light and life may take form and skate across the brilliant white sheet of ice covering the dark waters of space.
From insights to enlightenment, from the unknown to the known, my mind unfolds from limitation to the unlimited, being fed by my nucleus, incarnating as the stress points of creative potential, from the atom on and up to the spheres of the stars.
As the two songs, human and planetary join, the minor and major scale and tonality in the fabric of organic life intensifies.
At that point in time my ego-self learns to understand and respond to karmic insights, becoming responsible to both human and planetary life, the mystery of the archetype of life on earth, self-conscious man, resolves the mystery.
My eternal rebirth into the cycles, nurtures the tree of differentiation to resolve the conflict of the opposites and be initiated into the one life, light and love, in all its creative diversity.
Lament in the 21st century:
War and Peace, the Mother of all Battles
The voice of god hollow and sorrowful
Wars in Heaven reflected in wars on Earth
Between them the abyss receptive expands
To deceptive images of the artificial light
Mind-induced atmosphere of indolence
The Moon:
In esoteric astrology the moon is that which has gone before, founding structure of subjective perceptive and deceptive light of past failures, clothed in human pride to deceive and shine reborn and recycled, as past failures in the corridors of time.
Space-research reveals the moon to be without a core, a hollow form to which the ethereal psyche, on the line of intersection of the planes of the Earth’s and Moon’s orbits, can but react negatively.
Prose poem of the Moon-entity:
“I am the mother of a past unfulfilled
A mystery and speculation to mankind
Where a firm foundation is weakened
By generations resisting change
My light to the rational mind is dim,
From the irrational to the emotional
I am a satellite, memories unfulfilled.
For three nights I disappear
On the fourth, I reappear.
From a disc to a thin thread of light
I am the misty light of a satellite
Hanger on of an earth reborn
Haunting the unawakened principles,
Anti-climax to an unfolding mind
Reflective defending light I defend
Their dreams against a stark reality
Deceptive and illusional my mystery
Is my quiescence with inert action
Lost in time, the mystery unsolved.
From the point of view of the human mind, the moon is a symbol of the elemental psyche, the light of natural instinct woven into romantic dreams and fantasies.
It is the astral light, the linking of silver and gold of a wakening mind, swimming or drowning in the ocean of emotion, artistic desires taking refuge from the harsh reality of everyday life.
Another metaphor is the number 8 (two circles joined, the new and the full moon), night light of Eden, resurrection of past memories destined to redeem past failures in the Now.
The Crescent moon could be a symbol of the human transcendental psyche, seeking inner sight through information of past lives, to fulfill the zodiacal wheel of reflective light, hovering over changing worlds of formative thought confused in physical action and reaction.
Like a deep river released into the ocean of emotion, milky white light of a resonance, reverberating throughout the ethereal web of life, emerging out of the astral and lower mental worlds…
Human rational feeling and thinking, either opposes or adjusts to the subjectivity of the binary universe and thus unveils its secrets to the objective eye.
That which brings release to the psyche is ‘that’ which responds to the tonalities of memories, seeking fulfilment in the here and now.
Latent in the unconscious is the power of gestation, intercourse between the anima-animus of the human being, building block of life on earth.
The foundation of human thought-processes is harnessed by karmic aspiration, inspiration- of the inner fire seeking illumination within free born man.
Discrimination follows free will and choice, if negated mind power holds on to the iron grip of the stairwell, shaft of fundamental indoctrination of the collective unconscious, distracting to the subjective-objective conscious mind.
The inner man’s efforts to fulfil the homo sapiens (human species), reflected in Nature’s struggle with the elements, in the air, on land and the oceans and the subterranean tunnels of time.
In an outer world full of karma-revenge, past failures cannot be redeemed and the biological and psychological cycles, subject to periodical rebirth become static and ultimately concrete.
The blame lies with mankind who has become, like the moon a hollow form.
Lament in the 21st century:
War and peace, the Mother of all Battles
In this age, mirror-images broken
The killer-instinct ever more rampant
Redemptive powers subdued, eroded
In a womb swelling with false images
Of needles and mindless born memories
Collaborators of mind-powers deceiving
And misleading to sentient beings striving
To mature in opposition to the lie
The Sun as an entity:
The sun points towards polarity-integration. For instance, the sun-moon polarity (fire and water) has become a virulent infectious disease to life on earth, brought about by emotionalism and social sentiment, rationalism and its calculated materialistic gain of glamour. This is ultimately soul-destroying to evolutionary light, life and consciousness.
From the biological point of view, sun-light pours upon life on Earth, causing increased activity, recreational, where a diamond will sparkle, a decaying body will decay more quickly, (meaning too much sun i.e, objective consciousness, too much information processed by the intellect.)
The three lower kingdoms, their whole species and myriad specimens and substances are being diffused by sun-radiation, yet the fourth or human kingdom detrimental to the evolution of earth life, has sidelined its original intent by its overemphasis on progressive cultural societies and their self interests, attacking the natural balance of the universal law in Nature’s eco-system.
Individual response:
Under the shining presence of the sky,
Rising in the east, setting in the west
I correlate and commiserate with the
Rhythm of existential life, defining to
Compensate human condition.
From solstice to solstice the sun’s pilgrimage
Reminds me of the serpent path of consciousness
Strengthening my perception of the photospheres
Of celestial hosts, drawing all things in endless
Varieties towards integration of an organic whole,
Giving a feeling of emotive humanity, where
Heart and mind soul-born rise in the
Mystical east each morning according
To the eternal cycles understanding life,
In its passive and active forces of Nature
Combining water, air, earth and fire, there
Objective conscious strife burns up in my
Incarnations, maturing in self-awareness
Taking wing to soar towards ‘being’
Resolving the conflict of the opposites
Forevermore in pursuit of love-radiation
Conscious life evolves throughout eternity
Further observations:
The interacting link that traces the life-patterns of involution-evolution manifests as self-conscious responsibility, foundation of the karmic rebirth into earth-incarnations, that in time wake up the sleeping serpent projectile of kundalini rising, responding to the music of the spheres, song of songs of worlds appearing and disappearing.
By keeping my senses alert to daily lessons, my understanding transcends earth-existence that promotes, advances and raises, the life of all creatures great and small.
Incarnations, viewed from the point of physical existence is insubstantial, a wisp, a wavering mirage before the substantiality of the unwavering Flame of Life that ever IS.
Lament in the 21st century
War and Peace, the Mother of all battles
Individuals are but wintry stalks of men,
Dried and hollow inside, fallen trees
And lost leaves, smouldering fire
Under an artificial sky
They languish and die.
Pluto as an entity:
Pluto power of the life-fibre of the psyche, rises out of the black hole of consciousness, as the elemental side of the psyche.
Biologically it is the fibre, or any of the threads or filaments forming animal or vegetable tissue and textile substances.
Together with the trans-Saturnian (beyond measured time) planets of Uranus and Neptune, Pluto is active in the collective unconscious and subjective consciousness, bringing psychic release to human conscious cultures, civilisations as well as the geology of the planet.
Its karmic effect on the ethereal realms of sentient lives, affects all living things as well as the physical atom, individual incarnations and indirectly (in that it is misunderstood), solar life.
As an instinctual psychic force it can manifest humanly in a mediumistic manner, going back to shamanistic tribal laws, re-emerging in the pseudo-science of esoteric teachings.
Pluto energies can act positively in a cathartic sense, purging emotional and mental overload.
The psyche in life or the after death states of the mind, is nurtured by Pluto energies, helping individuals as well as the collective unconscious, to deal with the effects of psycho-mental levels out of balance, with positive and negative formative thought.
In their conciliatory powers, Pluto-energies work through instinct, intellect and intuition, as the mediating ‘agents’ of the unfolding principles within the human constitution, interacting with the seven cosmic rays overshadowing individual lives on earth.
Prose poem of the Pluto entity:
I am Pluto lord of Hades, the infernal world.
At the remotest point of life’s inner circles
Sowing seeds into the fabric of the psyche
For in the seed rests the power of rebirth
And death is overcome within my nucleus.
In a sun-centred organism I touch every
Every point of the circumference
Transfiguration of ages and races
I open the door to inner depths of
Holistic wholes stepping into the
Unknown to experience the birth
Of self-conscious knowledge responsible
For the transfiguration of existential life
Individual response:
“Pluto-energies are of the fibre of transfiguration.
Assisting my psyche, on the threshold of the
Other-world to observe formative life
Emerging out of the moist and shady depths of subjective perception
Into the light of conscious life, active
Intelligence working throughout the
Kingdoms on earth, appearing like
“A dome of many coloured glass,
Staining the white radiance of Eternity”
In the infernal regions of birth and rebirth
Pluto draws the turbulent waters of my emotions
Into the sea-fires of the unconscious to be purified
In the subterranean channels, stress points of
My psyche finds release from within the nucleus
That holds the power of survival of death and
Rebirth beyond the worlds of silver and gold
Lament in the 21st century:
The instinct subdued in the tunnels of time
Ridiculed by civilised savages in a world
Of intellectual glamour and caprice
In an ever expanding desert of
Natural powers mishandled
The survival instinct
Sacrificed to the lie
Mars as an entity:
Mars stands for the sacrifice of the cycles, holding the knife-edged sword of equilibration of phenomenal life manifesting in concrete symbols.
Mars-energies of defence in mind, body and soul expand from within out.
As the one eyed power of the inner warrior draws out of the heart of the sun the mystical light, spirit will and power defends matter to go beyond the levels of existence. Moving away from the centre of the mechanical universe, it approaches the edge of the cycles, eternally defending the inner sanctum of unfolding mind-principles.
Individual response
Under Mars, I represent the energies of defence,
One pointed concentration of the flight of the arrow
To move away, to go towards, equalise to compensate
The tragic comedy of human intent and desire.
As the one eyed Cyclops, prototype of
The constellation of Orion, I defend the
Space-time-continuum, the green ray,
Moving from within out to neutralise
Path of the balance of intelligent life,
Dynamic equilibrium to life-changing
Patterns, cyclic link of spirit-energies
To chains and rounds within the system
Food for thought:
How does an Individual feel and see itself as a manifesting star?
The Sun is the polar opposite of the earth, firepower as opposed to static energy.
The Moon is the polar opposite to Pluto delusional power opposes transforming power.
Mars stands as the outer warrior standing in the middle of the four winds, fighting for the balance between the four directions of mind-power.
Pluto stands as the inner warrior seed of the four elements, guardian of the soul defending mind-power unfolding out of balance with itself.
Evocation of the five pointed human star:
“And who and what am I?
Between here and there I am the link in the chain, from life to death and life again.
In my sleep I dream of memories, shadow-reflections lurking in the dark subconscious.
In my waking state I observe life’s active intelligence revealing my natural potential to understand and adjust to the spirit of time and space, that is the will and power of the evolutionary right of all life.
Nothing shall stand in my way of sense-perception that ever seeks to transcend the planes of existence and so might attune to the immortal essence, whose core is the spirit-soul, its circumference creative fire of the mind, solar power of the system.
Within my sacred circle, under the Oak, I find strength of life, where no glamour can affect me, no sorrow destroy, because, pain is the sword of my courage surviving the ever sharper lessons of life
Rebirth is a possibility, immortality a certainty, because that which is immortal ever expresses itself in that which is mortal, a fleeting moment in time and space, point of light of creativity latent within the universe and man.
I will never negate the experiences however painful to my individual self, because I know that they are but agents of the spreading wisdom that ever seeks to understand and through knowledge becomes an experience that resolves the conflict of the opposites.
Only by accepting limitation can I learn to understand its opposite, the unlimited.
Wherever I get glimpses of it, makes up one moment of precious time giving impulse to creativity ever awake to its latent powers to the reality of worlds born and reborn.
Without darkness, light is not, without involution evolution cannot be, and conscious life is still born.
Let soul-intent become the root-power of the mind, that gives structure to the point where soul, heart and mind become one simple common sense outside the wisdom of the ages from within strengthening the link, dynamic equilibrium of the elements in which the spirit of Man and Nature become One.
Too much earth will parch the seed, too much water drown it.
Too much wind will disperse the seed, too much fire blacken it to a husk.
The seed of the Self is born out of the balance of the way, reconciliation of the solid with the mutable.
As the human star, I am cradled by the heart of the sun, radiation of inner space, where life rejuvenates in the eternal glow of the evolutionary light of universal life.
In the Here and Now my star shines, under the guardianship of the violet Ray of the Age of Aquarius, the Judgement Day, my karmic balance is free to give up or endure, under the Oak, strength of life.
THE SEVEN SACRED OR AWAKENED PLANETS ON THE TREE:
If Individuals are willing to go within, they will find that their true origin is linked to the energies of the seven awakened planets on the Tree. With introspection and much deep thought and insights they can learn to understand the energy-emanations of these planets, interacting with the seven cosmic rays, preservers of the seven unfolding principles within their constitution.
The seven awakened planets are:
Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus and Vulcan
Mercury energies:
Concerning life on Earth, Mercury is a living symbol of the parasympathetic, sympathetic and cerebral spinal nervous system, enhancing the working capacity of living organisms.
On the socio-cultural level Mercury energies as the mother of fiery perception, acts upon the airy logical and reasoning mind, very much needed for karmic procedures, affecting all kingdoms on earth as well as strengthening the conceptual foundation of formative thought.
Free will and choice is a prerogative for human consumption, securing a path towards self-reflection.
If the Individual means to wake up to its true self, it needs to be in tune and have a real understanding of the law of Karma, the Spirit of the space-time-continuum, within which life and consciousness evolve.
In its most advanced aspect, the essence of the Self, sometimes called ‘soul-intent’, interacts with wisdom-knowledge, making the instinct (feeling intelligence) and the intellect (thinking intelligence) the two pillars on the Tree, with intuition as the mediating consciousness in between.
This can only be understood as a catharsis that in its wake brings understanding and self-initiative, resolving the conflict of the opposites.
Mercury can also be visualised as the skilled hand, opening the balance of the way, for individuals to respond to a greater whole.
Transfiguration is the socio-cultural mind inherited at birth by the magnetic pull of karmaallowing individuals to incarnate periodically into cultures.
With the help of its fiery and quick silver aspect, Mercury energies help individuals to adjust to ever changing socio-cultural patterns.
On a more advanced level Mercury energies hold the creative potential that help a mentality that is in the throes of transcending human emotions, conceptual glamour and devotional feelings.
The Self interacting with Mercury:
“Under Mercury, quicksilver of the gods
I enter the fiery breath of mind-power
Stimulating the heart-beat of creation
Deepening sensations in formative life
I lessen the burden of conditioned life
Learning through memory images purified
Within the sea-fires of the unconscious
I strengthen the store house of perception
From life-expressions in symbolic forms
To the spoken and written word to logic
And the reasoning mind of human endeavour
I wake up to the healer within me purifying
To cause and effect, healing to the senses’
In the cross currency of nerve centres
I align the intertwined serpents to the
Chemistry of yin and yang of the rod
Of self-initiation in Mercury’s skilled hand,
Responsibility of conscious intent,
Under the Oak, strength of life.
Lament in the 21st century
War and Peace the Mother of all Battles
Mirror images running riot, cunning,
Deceptive and cruel, false promises
Lost on heaped bodies in the mortuaries,
Their eyes missing, their hearts torn out
Their organs sold to the highest bidder
In a world obsessed with health and safety
In an eternity of sterility upsetting to
Nature and active intelligence of life
Jupiter energies:
Astrologically Jupiter’s passage through the houses influences the saying; “Life is what you make of it”.
In other words Jupiter energies on a biological level for instance, increase growth of the metabolism.
On an individual conscious level they refer to benevolent activity in ‘all ways and weather conditions’ of earth life.
In an introverted or extroverted form Jupiter steers individuals and humanity as a whole towards an evolving, cooperative society, from tribal days to global multi-coloured cultural pressures of the present.
Expansion of grandeur and security for utilitarian life is all in the domain of Jupiter.
These biological, social and global scenes result in; ‘too much optimism and not enough nurturing.’
Misplaced Jupiter energies can lead to ego-inflation, where individuals start to have euphoric feelings and visions of being above the mass of people in bondage to collective values and institutions.
The Jupiter-mind’s forceful social character, can get stuck on the levels of material success, health and wealth, hindering the evolution of consciousness and the unfolding creative potential from within out.
The Self interacting with Jupiter:
“I am that, power of expansion generous
Of expression in the action and reaction
Of my unfolding mind, progressive in the
Systemic co-ordination of the organic whole
My judgement in dynamic neutrality
Shattering the brick walls of my mind
Opening up to the cause and source
My one and only responsibility to
Expand my concentration on
Human, planetary and solar life
Being generous, in all ways and direction
I widen the boundaries of space and time,
And become the mediator between all things
Proud liberator of the little will of men
To remain, under the Oak, strength of life
Lament in the 21st century:
War and Peace, the Mother of all Battles:
In this modern day, this modern age
The gesture of generosity and hospitality
Lost in the frenzy of a time of entertainment
Hilarious and pathetic, they prance and they
Dance, seductive alluring and deceptive
Disharmony dancing to itself, discontent
Is the name of the day, the living dead
Walking in and from every direction
Venus energies:
On the biological level Venus represents the organic aspect of the universal life-processes, symbolised by the power of love unconditioned, whose life force is the creative principle within the universe and man.
Subjectively it is an autonomous projection of characteristics, objectified by cultures, manifesting as idea-ideals through feeling, thought and experience.
Working in dynamic balance with discrimination as a tool, man creates archetypal forms, sustenance to the unfolding individual and universal lives.
The Self interacting with Venus-energies:
Prose poem:
“Under the Oak, strength of life
I am Venus the queen Bee,
Quintessence, elixir of life
Power of love unconditioned
Echo of celestial sound-vibrations
Alchemist of the psyche, magnetised
Attraction and repulsion within the
The circulation of the cycles affecting
The erotic tonalities of existential life
Love flirting with light, compassion
Seeking synthesis in all things
Under the Oak, strength of life
Lament in the 21st century:
War and Peace the Mother of all Battle
No morning or evening star where
The lie speaks with authority
Under the sky silence broods
No escape from love’s pretence
Hiding behind brick and mortar
New faces appear, bright red lips
Behind steel and concrete buildings
Lives full of bustle, a stampede of
Meaningless words, aimless talk,
The dead resurrected the walking dead
Saturn circles of time-energies:
At the biological level Saturn establishes the facts and experience of formative life in an ordered fashion.
Recorder of measured Time, guardian of human scientific understanding, Inspector of cultures in quality, quantity and values, represents the overtones and biological boundaries of life on Earth.
This can be viewed in astral and mental vision, objectified through the unfolding principles within the human constitution and manifesting through the five senses, as quiescence of sentient life on earth in its entirety.
Before physical humanity, there was astral humanity coming into existence.
They are the source and origin of Life on Earth and their cultures a microcosm (the small) endeavours to reflect the macrocosm, (the Universe) in mind, body and soul.
Human relationships are based on a compulsive biological level with one another, but consciously participate in a set of logical activities, bringing the subjective and objective mind working together.
There follows a series of activities whose character becomes more and more clearly defined through the emergence of races and their differentiating cultures.
Climatic and magnetic changes play a big part in the socio-cultural time-zones.
Saturn energies bring a sense of judicial and formative order:
In human terms it is a reflection of the ‘omniscience’ in limitation, where Instinct-Intellect and Intuition learn to understand the universal power of Integration, seeking fulfilment in time and space, whose foundation is the law of Karma.
Under its rule, Saturn also stands as the observer of the inner worlds of feeling, thought and experience within the corridors of time.
Prose poem of Saturn as a Being:
I am Saturn, lord of boundaries, circulation of the inward flow
Closing in on the cross, spiral of universal life
I am the ploughman tracing a circular
Furrow in the virgin soil preparing
To mark the ring pass not of life atoms
Food for thought for human digestion
In which the immortal reveals itself
As a reflection in time and space
I am ‘Sanat’ the five pointed star
Conceived by the mother of all understanding
I am human in consciousness, solar in ‘being’
Architect of diamond shells I remain,
Under the Oak, strength of Life
Lament in the 21st century:
War and Peace, the Mother of all Battles
Today there is no consolation in integrity
Protected by human rights divide
Conquer and rule, swim or drown
In the absence of truth the lie lives on
Day in day out living not knowing
Waiting no resistance
Trying to remember
Let not the lie be reborn.
Neptune as a Being:
Neptune is a trans-Saturnian planet, according to esoteric science the primordial ocean of wisdom, ‘The Source’ of life-energies from the atom physical to the solar and inner human levels of the four worlds on the tree. It affects inner (occult) and outer levels of life-conscious evolution.
Human consciousness depends on the dynamics of this ocean in whose depths lies the latent powers of the unfolding universal and sentient life.
The turbulent waters of this ocean affect and interact with human emotion, its psycho mental evolution as well as having the condition of free will and choice.
The reality of the human condition is that Individuals tend to discard the inner voice and learn to listen and accommodate outer rules, regulations and social skills.
The longing for utopias, fantastic visions, idealisations of past heroic ages, lost civilisation is very much sought and admired as the reality of wisdom.
In actuality the truth of wisdom is creativity through which the heart, mind and soul express themselves in infinite ways
In self-conscious human terms, wisdom-energies negate all dysfunctional behaviour patterns of Nature, individuals, cultures with their social rigidity.
In such an atmosphere everything falls into stagnation…
Baptism in the ocean of wisdom means to tread the path of wholeness-awareness implying self-sacrifice, unconditioned love and compassion for all life, thus purifying the energies on inner and outer levels.
Prose poem of Neptune:
My song is of the sea and the mauve sunset
Where all tonalities merge and in whose depth
Lies the knowledge waiting for rebirth.
Acid is my true nature dissolving all that which separates.
To human nostalgia I am ecstasy and
Glamour mirages, deceiving phantoms,
Unleashing the passions of the senses,
The mind swept away by the foamy waves
Of romantic expectations.
Between zero and one, consciousness sways,
Between the known and the unknown
A gamble in human force and form
Wise action and reaction confusing
I struggle to remain true to my nature
Wisdom of the Oak, strength of life.
Lament in the 21st century;
War and peace the Mother of all Battles
Wise men apologise for lining their pockets
The sound of scavengers everywhere, inhuman
The tribunal, a different kind of hunt
Severed from Nature, wisdom lost
Silent screams unheard in a world
Of artificial life under artificial light
In an abyss that has no time, no hour
No mother son or daughter where
Change is but a hollow future
Despite life after life, disputes grow
Artful teasing, tangled roots, stumbling feet,
Remnants of a maze of dead end paths,
Not trusting their senses
They name it wisdom’s folly
Having nothing more to say…
Uranus as a ‘Being’
In human terms, Uranus at the top of the Tree represents the culmination of the ascending consciousness. Its energies symbolise fulfilment of an incarnation individually, of evolution universally.
The acquiring of self-knowledge is the fruit of the tree holding a new seed, out of it grows the triple headed serpent, the violet violence of the lion (Uranus) expressing the present, the wolf (Saturn) dragging its victims (memories) away, stands for the past and the dog, (Neptune) fawning on its master with beguiling hope suggests the future.
Inwardly human aspiration-inspiration composes the music of the spheres through the growing understanding of the unfolding mind principles composing the sevenfold being, growing from within out manifesting as the subjective-objective perception of the collective unconscious, a shadow of its original self.
All that is, potentially within the new seed. It is the grand symbol of existence, a shadow reflection of the Cosmos.
T.S. Eliot’s description:
“HERE WE GO ROUND AND ROUND THE PRICKLY PEAR, (the principles behind rebirth)
AT FIVE OR CLOCK IN THE MORNING (suggesting the manifesting human star. Uranus is like unto the Earth, a new beginning, a new seed until the wheel of the Zodiac is fulfilled)
BETWEEN THE CONCEPTION AND THE CREATION, BETWEEN THE EMOTION AND THE RESPONSE FALLS THE SHADOW (the coming of age of instinct, intellect and intuition through the unfolding principles)
BETWEEN THE DESIRE AND THE SPASM BETWEEN THE POTENCY AND THE EXISTENCE BETWEEN THE ESSENCE AND THE DESCENT FALLS THE SHADOW, (growth of the differentiating, individual tree of existence).
The new seed holds the potential that comes from a source that is beyond Nature, physical science and fundamental religions.
Uranus deals with upheavals that challenge the worth and meaning of images, cultures and their traditions.
At the top of the Tree these energies are most potent in their triune potential (chaos) out of which new life may be formed. Every level, globe or world depends on what is at its core, it may not be radically new, but built on discord, in the human case fear, pretense, aggression etc. suggesting throughout history the resurgence of temporary substantiality, seemingly different ideological form, obsessional phobias and ever more cunning guises for the revival of the same old ( no change there ) characteristics, namely negative affectations.
Uranus energies together with Neptune and Saturn inspire individuals who are ready to transcend personal needs and gratifications, seeking no matter how painful or hazardous, in competition with materialistic health and wealth, fulfilment of feeling, thought and experiences, of the evolving Self.
Uranus energies seek to maintain and secure the state of ‘Being’, which has an evolutionary impact on outer forms.
As a metaphor death and birth come into the orbit of Uranus-energies, conceived on crisis points where creative potential forges or falls by the way.
Neptune causes catalysts for any living entity that is prepared to operate at the next level, which in time opens up to a new evolutionary cycle, helped by Saturn the organiser where a state of tension develops, slowly speeding throughout a system, culture as well as individual lives.
Restlessness and deep discontent is experienced from within. This can go from a mere spark to a final catalyst.
From it comes the famous saying:
“Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come.”
Prose poem of Uranus:
I am Uranus, fruit of the tree holding a new seed
As soul-transforming power, at the 11th hour
I overturn linear consciousness for wise men
To find the magnetic chemistry of the point
That forms creative thought reborn fuel to
Transitional powers initiating life changing
Experiences revealing a heliocentric vision
Transfiguration of worlds colliding, yet acting
According to karmic law towards synthesis of
The system, bringing sustenance to the seed
Of immortality that lies dormant in
The lands of mortal men.
Lament in the 21st century:
War and Peace the Mother of all Battles
A clap of thunder, flashes of lightning
Emotions flare up then dust and ashes
The apocalypse is here, throw the dice
Take the gamble, there is only one winner,
The trans-personal responsible for all life
Standing against a reality that hears nothing
Sees nothing and says nothing, drowning.
Shame lurks behind their eyes, guilt stalks their lies
Desolation, resignation, innocence, what a joke
If you believe in the lie, there is nothing
But lie after lie after lie
Candles lit to individual initiative and endurance through space and time:
My first candle lit is to my divine spark to plant a new seed into Mother Earth for life and consciousness to be reborn, as the blue-print of spirit and matter, origin of the source of all living things.
My second candle lit is to my psyche rising out of the depths of the unconscious on the horizon of subjective perception.
My third candle lit is to the attunement of the infinite triangles of chaos, mother of all understanding giving birth to life-atoms throughout space and time.
My fourth candle lit is to the spiral grain of the universe, root principle of the inner warrior defending soul-intent, guarding the ‘ring-pass-not’ of existential life.
My fifth candle lit is to Karma-redemption, aspiration-inspiration opening the eye of illumination.
That gives meaning to the cycles of rebirth.
My sixth candle lit is to unconditioned love, burning flame of wisdom’s quest towards self-realisation, awakening consciousness of the in-going and outgoing life-force of the manifesting universe, heart-beat of this solar system.
My seventh candle lit is to the lightning flash of insights fulfilling the unfolding principles within man and all life.
My eighth candle lit is to the invocation-evocation of physical life, to wake up and know the strength of mother nurturing simple life struggling to evolve.
My ninth candle lit is to the transformation of existence, strength of the father, founder of the state of ‘Being’ that understands the matter of the crucifix.
My tenth candle lit is to the triple-flames manifesting within the four, strengthening the ascension of consciousness, base of the pyramid, self-responsible act of the I Am That.
My eleventh candle lit is to the invocation of the ‘Otherworld’, the holistic whole penetrating the vast unconscious, revelation of the unknown to know the night side of my karmic cycles.
My twelth candle lit is to understand and know the thorn that protects the rose, bloom of self-knowledge spring time of every year, incarnation, age to adjust the ebb and flow of time to cosmic tides.
My thirteenth candle lit is to my aspiration-inspiration-illumination, to wake up to the world of emanation where my spirit or essence of consciousness gestates.
My fourteenth candle lit is to fulfil the dynamic law of harmony through conflict, fire-power of the world of creation where the two-edged sword in the hands of the unfolding mind, cuts a way through the jungles of human conditioned sentiment to join the dynamic balance, the universal mind.
My fifteenth candle lit is to the world of formation where free will and choice fights for its survival beyond time and space.
“My sixteenth candle lit is to respect the karmic right of individual’s life-cycles, to choose between to have or to be.
My seventeenth candle lit is to Sirius, for my bridging consciousness to build the gateway between limitation and the unlimited, destined to become strength of life on the tree.
My eighteenth candle lit is to the binding oath of the silver bow piercing the heart of the sun, purification of the awakened mind climbing the tree, strength of the Oak.
My nineteenth candle lit is to the convocation of the face of Janus, bringing the past into the present, the essential light of the etheric web of the planet.
My twentieth candle lit is to the rain-bow-bridge, law of attraction and repulsion, held in the lightning flash to rise and fall, to fall and rise in dynamic balance with the evolution of consciousness throughout the Ages.
My twentieth candle lit is to my soul’s innermost cry, not to give up and die, but take responsibility for the truth that survives the in-equality of manifesting life; for consciousness to rise in quality and not in quantity .?????
Individual initiative of the ‘human’-‘being’-‘man’:
“As the Soul of Man I understand the importance of my responsibility to rise and disperse the mists of time, revelation of an understanding that endures beyond the fires of the mind, getting glimpses of cosmic conscious light that knows what it means to be the Soul of Man.
There is no other way for me, but to tap the power of the nucleus and follow l its intricate journeys throughout the duration of space and time, to emerge at the end of the universe with my principles within my constitution fully equipped to join love-wisdom fulfilling itself in union with all other rays in this solar system.
Life as my teacher soul consciousness as my initiator, how can I fail the challenge of my consciousness winding its way round and round the tree, breaking out into bloom to bring fruit, extract the new seed, find the moist soil for it to take root and grow, together with new worlds ever reborn.
I vow to give all and be true to life in its manifesting systems, eternal cycles in the month of the Oak corresponding heart of existencial life waking up to its inner point of light, liberator of the worlds of limitation.
Thus I am and remain the Soul of Man, under the Oak, where there is no other way but to turn forward and upward towards the truth of my ‘Being’.
Taking past failures with me as guide towards change that is life everlasting, I accept the challenge of my karmic rebirths, again and again, individually unique, redemptive to my being the seed, the root and the tree planted to shade the fiery path of the balance of the way of the life changing system, that is the knowledge of my soul’s inner cry to transform rather than to die.
Respecting individual choices and cultures unconditionally, I can move on unhindered towards the one source, one life everlasting, in which tears of remorse and sorrow become tears of joy, dynamic neutrality, uplifting to a failing system.
It is farewell; it is a new beginning, an experience without beginning or end, a growth that knows no bounds, a seed whose active intent is the tree, and a fruit whose practicality produces new seeds.
By having the courage to step into the unknown ‘to know’, I reveal the power and meaning behind the symbols holding the ultimate knowledge that rents the veil to the inner sanctum in the sacred marriage between the macrocosm and microcosm, that is no longer a mystery.
Desire learns to know the tonalities of planetary life.
Through Individuation the atoms breathe.
Ignorance is transfigured by the Venusian bees drawing ambrosia out of the sap of the blooms nourishing to the whole of the system.
Nostalgia is a waste of energy only that man should stay true to himself.
Memories follow the will of the spirit, which forever lives whether conditioned or unconditioned because its soul infused activity survives anything and everything.
The 3-degree sections of conscious Space is a wakeup call for a time-leap in consciousness rising towards a new dawn, beyond measured time and space.
LET THERE BE AN END TO LAMENTS IN THE 21st CENTURY:
The Self interacting with Uranus, Neptune and Saturn:
Under Neptune on the force side of the tree- on the Shore of the Ocean of wisdom, I stand, listening to the echo of the mystical song of life rising out of the great unconscious reverberating throughout space and time, where my free spirit within wakes up to its birth-right, soul consciousness calling me, for mind heart and soul to merge with the tonality of creative potential reaching deep down into the ocean of wisdom.
Trapped on earth by materialistic might, I can yet feel the power of the light-bearer’s wakeup call of my divine spark, spirit of Uranus plunged into the sea-fires of the unconscious purified, rising to challenge all life to survive and evolve in a futuristic vision where my spirit-self, interacting with Neptune and Saturn, soul-intent hovering above the void, the embryo consciousness forming its head centres in the black hole of consciousness with the help of Vulcan and Pluto energies to be born into the expanse of Jupiter, disciplined by Mars, warrior of old to become as the quicksilver of Mercury with Venus, embracing the elemental triangle of the sun, moon and the earth, taking form within existence which can be evolved by the emanation-creation of the principles, integration of the life-force to the need of karma individual and universal, that sets the head on fire which is instinct, intellect and intuition, life-conscious radiation of love unconditioned, absorbing all that which tends towards separation.
In that experience the universal that transcends the horizons of earth-lives. From ignorance to illumination, from glamour mirages to aspiration, from phantasms to inspiration, from physical indoctrination to the construction of creative vibrations absorbed in the oneness of life and objectified in the mystic song beyond the boundaries of space and time.
So let there be an end to the Lament of a fallen system.
Let Neptune link with Mercury through the human mind, heart and soul:
Under the Oak, quicksilver of the Gods, my mind afire, the flame in my heart is rekindled.
In my observations of changing seasons I perceive the organic relationships corresponding to the law of relativity, working through the collective unconscious recorded in the universal language of symbols, song of human conscious perception ever reborn in:
Neptune linking with Venus:
Under the Oak, strength of Venus, virtue of human self-awareness rising star of wisdom, action and reaction to the inward way, uniting the opposites in the alchemy of the psyche that responds to creative spontaneity, elixir of love-wisdom, circulation of life and the love of it lighting up darkest matter with the truth that has many faces but ‘in truth’, has not got a face.
The mystery of the soul revealed in Saturn linking with Mars:
“Under the Oak going with the flow of time cycles and circles the Self meets up with the mother of all understanding giving birth to the defender of form expression, intricate and complex alike and equal if not in quantity then in quality, where time within timelessness finds release in cause and effect, past, present and future, become the responsibility of wholeness awareness, to endure and persevere until soul-intent embraces all life.
“So get off your knees, stop your praying cease your crying, and heal yourself.
Let go of self-deception, know yourself, be sure of who and what you are the link in the chain of space and time, light and life, involution and evolution of the eternal motion of the wheel of eternity.
Jupiter linking with the Earth:
“Under the Oak I emanate energies of expansion and become the ruler of the walls and the gates., spirit-integrity mediator between terrestrial time, expansion of space pouring soul substance into the psycho-mental moulds flowing to solidify into self-conscious will lifting existential life into a more refined dimension, which is;
Pluto linking with the Moon:
“Under the Oak, strength of the inner warrior, come to the fore, move away from the old and go towards the cultivation of the zodiacal wheel, experience of dynamics of inner space to the outer rim.
Individuation compensates the tragic comedy of physical identifying life, the one eyed power of the true warrior drawing out of the heart of the sun the mystical light of conscious life.
Remain in mind, body and soul the eternal warrior, no name for your brave heart which defends the cross of matter eternally.
So let there be an end to the lament of the 21st century for all eternity.
