Venus Enters Capricorn tonight.
(Note: See National festivals today at the end.)
& the Rules for Difficult Times from the Sagittarius Teachers.
In the Kali Yuga time…when darkness is allowed to be seen.
So humanity can choose which path/Path to follow.

Rules (for some these are New Rules)
a- Know yourself to be the Undying one.
b- Control the lower mind, for through that mind the Undying One can be known.
c- Learn that the form (matter) is but a veil which hides the splendor of divinity.
d- Realize that the One Life pervades all forms so that there is no death, no distress, no separations.
e- Detach (yet remain connected, meaning observe what is all around, remain poised) yourself from focus ONLY ON the form side, and call forth & meet the Divine within on that high place where Light and Life are truly found.

Hunter Walking the Path
(like the Elephant, Ganesh, destroyer of all limitations)

As the hunter walks the path, the solar light increases.
Day is light, the Soul is light. Man is the Soul.
The shadow of light is darkness/ignorance. The night is never eliminated. Midday on the equator on equinox day.
Light appears on the forehead.
At 12 noon the shade of man is at the feet. Man cannot see that shadow. It is at the minimum.
The light of Soul is at maximum. The angels dance.
The son of man becomes the Son of God.
The virgin (subtle body, golden pure light) sings.
The life force moves unimpeded, like galloping horses (Sag).
The glands secrete their life forces in the centers of life/light. These are the gods (devas)from the top of the head (cosmic) to the heart (solar) to planetary (diaphragm to base). the entire body is pervaded by gods (devas, light being, bright shiny ones).
The tissues vibrate w/ virginity (purity). They sing.
The life & light moves unopposed in the body when the Soul infuses the body/personality of man (thinker).
The solar pole/Light advances, day increases, gods dance, virgin sings, horses gallop, waters spring. The son of man becomes the Son of God. Om Om Om.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius governs the thighs, which are the main centre of physical power and protective strength in the body, and it governs also the sacral centre which provides the energy for the use of the creative powers of the physical life.
This is also symbolically true. In Sagittarius, the disciple has two things to discover within himself.
1. the power to make progress upon the path and to walk the Way, and
2. the ability to create in the higher and spiritual sense.
This concerns the relationship between the sacral and the throat centres. These powers (the higher powers) are as yet embryonic in the earlier Sagittarian experience, when one is developing the personality (body, emotions, lower mind). They become more developed and potent as one cyclically returns to life experience in this sign & follows the path upward. Like the Elephant.

Astrology Today – December 9, 2022
Cancer Moon, Sun & Venus in Sagittarius.
However tonight, Venus leaves Sag & enters Capricorn.
Venus (5), Sag (4, 5, 6), Cap (1, 3, 7).
Venus is the spiritual ruler of Capricorn.
A very potent spiritual significant position for Venus.
Rays 1, 3, 5, 7 are all available w/ Venus in Capricorn (sign of Initiation, the Light Supernal, the mountaintop, the Midnight Sun of Christmas!).
The odd rays are the Mental Rays, a direct mental link to externalize Love from “the Place Where the Will (1) of God is Known” which is Shamballa.
Loving Intelligence manifesting for the benefit of all.
Mind irradiated with Divinity.
An Initiatic fusion on the Mountaintop.
Sagittarius prepares us.
There is so much to learn when we have sojourned to Sagittarius, meeting our Sagittarian professor/Teachers in the Temple of Learning.

Reappearance of the Christ Meditation Day.
Jupiter’s day, Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom.
December 8, 2022 – Thursday.
Mar’s Immaculate Conception Day.
Mary’s Day today – Mary is one of the Masters, personifying the feminine principle – Mary born pure, conceived pure.
Purity is essential to enter the Temple of Wisdom.

Light Twinkling in the Darkness
Gripping the Light twinkling in the darkness (duality, two sides of one principle – disciples standing in the center. Disciples choose the central golden principle – Lord Krishna stands here too.
Yoga the Golden Middle Path.
Disciples walk thru the darkness of duality, focused on the twinkling light above in the center of the forehead.
The elephant walks, the dog barks.

Anger hatred attraction repulsion right wrong are tempting. Yet the disciple walks the central golden path – from Anahata (heart) to Saharara (head 1000 petalled lotus).
Thus the disciple is garlanded – lotuses of light, five in number w/ different petals – 4, 6, 10, 12 16, 48 petals of the 5 chakras, 48 letters accomplished. The seeker is 49. 48, 49 to 98 to 99.

There is abundant cooperation from the Virgin – purity, Mary’s Immaculate conception –
Purity is needed to enter the Temple of Wisdom.
Purity – quality of seekers who neutralize duality.
Reaching tip of pituitary at brow, then an abyss before the great light is seen in the 1000 petalled lotus. Grace of the jewel of the serpent is the twinkling light. Seeker cannot demand grace.

The Seeker can only wait for the light to descend from the brow center – then a light bridge is built & the hunter walks thru to reach the 3rd eye. The eye of the bull twinkles in darkness.
The lion grips lights from the darkness.
The maiden makes a garland of lotuses.
Disciple garlanded.

We picture Ganesh – the holy elephant.
The trunk, the spine lifting one up to the Light in the head.
Past the illusion & maya.
Gripping the Light twinkling in the darkness.
The Immaculate Conception within each of us.

The full moon/solar festival times each month provide us with a Path of Approach to the Kingdom of Souls

“Hold to your established links and with your brothers & sisters walk together on the Path. Walk as a group upon the Lighted Way. The chain of Hierarchy firmly stands.” (DNA-II, 627)

“SAGITTARIUS — A beam of directed, focused Light”

“In this the point of light becomes the beam, revealing a greater light ahead and illumining the way to the center of the light.”

Key Words of the Soul ~

“I see the Goal. I reach that goal and then I see another.” May the words of this final injunction to the disciple carry meaning to the heart and mind.”

Meditation
THE FULL MOON APPROACH TO THE HIERARCHY
The time of the full moon is a period when spiritual energies are uniquely available and facilitate a closer rapport between humanity and the Hierarchy. Each month the inflowing energies carry the specific qualities of the constellation influencing the particular month; these energies playing sequentially upon humanity, establish the “divine attributes” in the consciousness of humanity. As aspirants and disciples we seek to channel the spiritual inflow into the minds and hearts of men, and thus strengthen the link between the human kingdom and the Kingdom of God.

Entrance upon the Path of Approach is possible for individuals, for groups, and for humanity as a whole as a unit. Energies not usually or normally contacted, can be touched, grasped and utilised at the time of these Approaches, provided that they are contacted in group formation. Thus the individual, the group and humanity are enriched and vitalised.

KEYNOTE of the full moon Approach to the Hierarchy:

“He who faces the light and stands within its radiance is blinded to the issues of the world of men; he passes on the Lighted Way to the great Centre of Absorption. But he who feels the urge to pass that way, yet loves his brother on the darkened path, revolves upon the pedestal of light and turns the other way.

“He faces towards the dark, and then the seven points of light within himself transmit the outward streaming light, and lo! the face of those upon the darkened way receives that light. For them the way is not so dark. Behind the warriors–twixt the light and dark–blazes the light of Hierarchy.”

MEDITATION: LETTING IN THE LIGHT

I. GROUP FUSION. We affirm the fact of group fusion and integration within the heart centre of the new group of world servers, mediating between Hierarchy and humanity:I am one with my group brothers, and all that I have is theirs.

May the love which is in my soul pour forth to them.
May the strength which is in me lift and aid them.
May the thoughts which my soul creates reach and encourage them.

II. ALIGNMENT . We project a line of lighted energy towards the spiritual Hierarchy of the planet, the planetary heart, the great Ashram of Sanat Kumara; and towards the Christ at the heart of Hierarchy.Extend the line of light towards Shamballa, the centre where the Will of God is known.

III.HIGHER INTERLUDE. Hold the contemplative mind open to the extra-planetary energies streaming into Shamballa and radiated through Hierarchy. Using the creative imagination, endeavour to see the three planetary centres—Shamballa, Hierarchy, and Humanity—gradually coming into alignment and interplay.

IV. MEDITATION. Reflect on the seed thought—using the appropriate keynote for the zodiacal sign.

V. PRECIPITATION. Using the creative imagination, visualise the energies of Light, Love and the Will-to-Good pouring throughout the planet and becoming anchored on Earth in prepared physical plane centres through which the Plan can manifest. (Use the six-fold progression of divine Love as the sequence of energy precipitation–Shamballa/Hierarchy/the Christ/the new group of world servers/men and women of goodwill everywhere in the world/physical centres of distribution.)

VI. LOWER INTERLUDE. Refocus the consciousness, as a group, within the periphery of the great Ashram. Together we sound the affirmation:

In the centre of all Love I stand. From that centre I, the soul, will outward move.
From that centre I, the one who serves, will work. May the love of the divine Self be shed abroad,
in my heart, through my group, and throughout the world.

Visualise the downpouring spiritual inflow released from Shamballa through the Hierarchy and streaming into humanity through the prepared channel. Consider how these inpouring energies are establishing the “Pathway of Light” for the coming World Teacher, the Christ.

VII. DISTRIBUTION. As the Great Invocation is sounded, visualise the outpouring of Light and Love and Power from the spiritual Hierarchy through the five planetary inlets (London/Darjeeling/New York/Geneva/Tokyo) irradiating the consciousness of the whole human race:

From the point of Light within the mind of God
Let Light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men-
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.
