“Let the effulgence of the Divine dispel all ignorance.”
The Gayatri – a song, a hymn, a prayer from the Vedas (Divine Knowledge) to illumine the intellect & mind of humanity.
Important note:
All minds of all peoples everywhere are (created) equal.
All capacities of all minds of all people are equal.
The development & cultivation of our minds & the outcomes of how we use & apply our minds differ.
And most important – Equality is not Sameness.

Today, Sunday, June 25, 2023. Virgo Moon, Cancer Sun.
Mercury (4) in Gemini (2) squares Neptune (6).
Mercury – thinking & communication.
Gemini – gather & dispersing information with Goodwill.
Neptune – offers us “other worlds” in order to refine our thinking & realities.

Gayatri means ‘that which saves, when repeated’! It is the torch of spiritual wisdom (jnana).
– the vibrations (syllables, sounds, tones) of the Gayatri “protect us from harm.”
– the atmosphere around us is visibly illumined
– the Divine descends upon us & illumined our intellect, lights up our Path & provides peace in our lives
– it improves our speech and reduces effects of wrong acts, it relieves distress, relieves us of illness, bestows upon us all that is beneficial
– Subtle powers emerge of goodness, and like sunrise after the night, the Gayatri mantra dispels the darkness of ignorance
– The Gayatri promotes knowledge, wisdom and discrimination, goodwill, joy, bliss, health, discipline & knowledge of God.

“”Let the effulgence of the Divine dispel the darkness of ignorance.”

Gayatri

O Thou Who givest sustenance to the universe
From Whom all things proceed
To Whom all things return
Unveil to us the face of the true Spiritual Sun

Hidden by a disc of golden Light

That we may know the Truth
And do our whole duty

As we journey to Thy sacred feet.

(another translation):
Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life,
Remover of pain and illness & sorrow,

The Bestower of happiness,

Oh! Creator of the Universe,

May we receive thy supreme darkness-destroying light,

May Thou guide our intellect to truth & in the right direction & Right Action.

We contemplate the glory of Light illuminating the three worlds: physical, subtle, and causal. We pray for the Divine Light to illumine our minds & humanity.

“I am that vivifying power, love, radiant illumination, and divine grace of universal intelligence.”

“May Almighty God illuminate our minds & the minds of humanity that it may lead us along & onto the Pathway of Truth”.
Ohm Shanti Shanti Shanti

Today is Midsummer (Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream
& the Feast of St. John the Baptist.
Celebrated in Masonry.
Today –
About the Soul, the Aquarian Laws & Principles.
And a poem –
A quote….
‘Lives are changed primarily by reflections;
So we reflect upon our lives.
The Soul is quality, consciousness, love & wisdom.
It is our Friend.
Qualities are developed by directed conscious thought;
So we think about our lives.
Characteristics are unfolded by brooding consideration.’
So we brood upon & consider deeply our lives & our choices.”
– Djwhal Khul – The Tibetan Teacher

The Soul is our consciousness, our awareness of the I & Thou.
The Soul weaves itself thru our bodies, into & thru our chakras & endocrine system. The Soul can be considered as consciousness, awareness and evolving sensitivity. The Soul is a reservoir of wisdom acquired through living life. Throughout life, on a daily basis we ‘learn by doing’ and it is in this way that we convert knowledge into wisdom.

Aquarius
The new era of Aquarius offers humanity direction as to how to live in the new Aquarian world – this direction are The New Laws & Principles of the Aquarian Age.
They are the Six Natural Laws & Principles of the Soul.

What is a Principle?
A Principle is an energy that redeems, heals and unifies. We notice and respond to a principle when it is present within relationships – an example of a principle is kindness.

What are the Principles of the new Aquarian era/Age?
Goodwill, Unanimity, & Essential Divinity.

What is a Law? (or Value)?
A law is a set of values which gives guidance and structure promoting well-being.

The Laws of the Aquarian Era
Right Human Relations, Spiritual Endeavor & Spiritual Approach.

Cancer Sun, Virgo moon today.
June 24, 2023 – Saturday, Saturn’s day.

Invocation, prayer, meditation – it matters not
what word is used – by means of these three
methods, spiritual energies are tapped and
brought into activity. By clear thinking, directed
thought and mental perception, they can be made
objects of human desire. Ideas are channels for
new and desired divine energies; ideals are these
ideas changed or reduced into thought-forms and
thus presented to the public. Ideas telepathically
become ideals*, which is another phrasing of the
old law, “energy follows thought”.
– Djwhal Khul

*The zodiacal keynotes given each month contain ideas
that are to become ideals within the hearts & minds of humanity.
The NGWS (planetary Light Bearers) have as their task the relaying of these ideas to humanity. Then the ideas become ideals within humanity.
The NGWS is to consider & recognize that we are the true leaders of the world. And the coming new Age.
What does a spiritual leader do?
Our ‘true leadership is our ability to inspire, enlighten and stimulate others’, and the key is to help others to be inspired by the world of ideas and meaning.
As true leaders we are to have “vision, humility & a spirit of Synthesis.” Willingly, living & leading thru & from the heart. With the heart we then have the courage to lead (“cour” – heart).

A Poem
The Lake Isle of Innisfree (island in N. Ireland)
(by William Butler Yeats)
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there,
for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where
the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

Note: Lake Isle of Innisfree is an uninhabited island within Lough Gill (bright white lake), in Northern Ireland, near which Yeats spent his summers as a child. Yeats describes the inspiration for the poem coming from a “sudden” memory of his childhood while walking down Fleet Street in London in 1888. He wanted to live in imitation of Thoreau.
