A Study of the Ages.
And today is Sunday, our first day of December.
It’s also the first Sunday in Advent (something to appear)!
Our preparations & our study.
Advent:
A four weeks of preparing for Winter Solstice, for the “birth of the holy child” which means the Soul of humanity. It is a celebration of hope & beauty, the light in the darkness. Each week we light a new candle – we create an advent wreath with 3 violet candles & one rose colored candle, with a white round candle in the center.
Each week signifies a hope wish dream prayer (hope, faith, joy, peace – the Angel candle, also Prophets–Angels–Shepherds–Magi) for the new light (the Soul of humanity, the holy child) to appear. It is a beautiful ritual expecially for children. The final candle – Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All.
Constructing our Advent Wreaths today. Lighting our first candle tonight at sundown. As we contemplate the Ages.
Our (humanity’s) involution (the ladder into matter), & our subsequent evolution (the ladder of Return to Spirit).
Please post your Advent Wreaths everyone. In our School, we would all create our Advent wreaths, individually & in groups, & we would then show them in our gallery for everyone (the public) to see.
Today – Sagittarius Sun & Moon – we have great goals today.
And so….
Here in our school we study the many & multiple levels
of religious teachings – each religion tells us a story of humanity – and of the heavens (the Rays, signs, planets, etc) & point out & signify the ongoing developmental stages of humanity.
They also describe the teachings given to humanity by the World Teachers (appearing) during each Age.
Note: Ages are 2,500 years long (with 500 year overlaps).
The Religions.
Zorastrianism, HInduism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, & the yet to be known as the Aquarian World Religion.
Note: the Islam religion (7 AD) – developed from both Judaism and Christianity, influenced by the cultural values of the Bedouin tribes of Arabia:
Judaism is considered the grandparent of both Islam and Christianity. Islam was influenced by the cultural values of the nomadic Bedouin tribes of Arabia.
The Ages (religions, teachers, laws): (this is humanity’s real history).
We are presently at the cusp (very beginning) of the Aquarian Age.
Each Age has 500 years of preparation beforehand.
We are still in the 500 years of preparation for the Aries Age.
However, at the end of the Ages & at their beginnings there is a blending.
We are mostly still in the Pisces Age (Ray 2 & 6), but with the strands of Aquarius (Ray 5 & 7 with the heart of Ray 2) coming in.
The Ages shift due to the presence of the Rays.
Note:
BC = Before the appearance of the Christ (0 or 1 AD).
AD = After the appearance of the Christ – or Anno Domini (in the year of the Lord). This is now also referred to as CE (Common Era).
Our Present Times
We are at the end of the Pisces Age.
The Piscean Age was/is from 0 AD to 2,000 or the overlap of 2,500 AD.
It’s preparation began 500 years before (500 BC), with the appearance of the Buddha (CHrist’s brother), the Teacher of Enlightenment, preparing the minds of humanity for his brother’s Appearance (the Christ in the form of Jesus).
The Ages – we will look at them in terms of 2000 year segments.
BC Ages understanding the overlaps.
10,000 BC – 8,000 BC – Age of Leo. Individuality began to dawn on the people. This was a golden Age. It was the very last of the Great Flood.
8,000 – 6,000 BC – Age of Cancer. Nomadic life began to set up settlements, create homes & gardens, the Mother exalted, a Matriarchical society, family & farming became important, the nurturing & nourishment of the people.
6,000 – 4,000 BC – Age of Gemini – writing began, glyphs, symbols, trade, cities, transportation, exchange, communication, information spread about, the Silk Road, skills, crafts & art developed (using the hands – Gemini). Zorastrianism, Persia.
4,000 – 2,000 BC – Age of Taurus – identifiying with the physical world, with the soil, the earth, the five senses, anchoring more into matter, construction of buildings, sturdy & long lasting (Taurus), working in nature, the natural world, gardens (Hanging Gardens of Babylon), beautiful feminine forms, worship of the bull & of gold. Egypt, Thracians, etc.
Note: this is the time the most ancient of people’s the Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt.
The religion developed is Hinduism, the Vedic Teachings in India. The Teacher is Sri Krishna (incarnation of Jesus).
2,000 BC – 0 AD – Age of Aries – The religion is Judaism and the Ten Commandments, Moses, the great military cultures: Egyptians and Persians, the Hebrews, Trojans, Greeks, the Spartans, the Romans! Aries being a martial and masculine signs, put into power cultures which worshipped the perfect Male body and Male power -the rule of the stronger over the weaker! History from this age has the myths of mighty male heroes and warriors: Moses, Hercules, Spartacus, Alexander the Great, The law of “tooth for tooth, eye for an eye” became a mantra! Metallurgy developed, so did engineering, mathematics and logic–all under the rule of Aries. Worship of the Ram- stories from the Hebrews, Egyptians & Romans. The Hebrew people walking in the desert for 40 years, from Egypt (Age of Taurus, slavery) into the freedom of the Age of Aries (Canaan). Their god was Jehovah who is also Saturn.
The Teacher Moses, the Laws, the Ten Commandments.
The Religion – Judaism.
Moses & the Ten Commandments – the Teacher & the Laws. Aries, the Age of the Laws.
500 BC – appearance of the Buddha – to prepare humanity’s minds for the coming world Teacher (the Christ).
The religion of Buddhism flourished. Buddha, the Teacher.
0 AD to 2,000 AD – Age of Pisces – birth of the Christ Jesus, the religion is Christianity. Building of churches, their spires reaching up to the heavens, a place for the people to pray, to have hopes, wishes & dreams (Neptune), symbols of the fish, the catacombs, sacrifice, compassion, love, the Law of Love, kindness, turning the other cheek (note no longer an eye for an eye), forgiveness, empathy, at times bloody moments, a throw back to the Aries Age, however, also refined musical & artistic genius. Mystical aspirations, faith. Mysticism, experiencing God directly, higher worlds. Also maya & illusion, victimization, martrydom. Innocence & the power of God within. Christ, the World Teacher. Pisces Age – Age of Love & Compassion.
The Law given to humanity is the Law of Love, to Love one another. The Age of Love.
2,000 AD to 4,000 AD – Age of Aquarius – which we are just beginning now. Age of the people, of humanity, of truth & freedom, of pure reason & true science. Calls forth its opposite sign of Leo – where we cultivate our gifts, developing our creative individual self & talents – to stand with Aquarius & build a new world. Our Sun receiving the atmosphere of Aquarius – of things yet to be, a golden age. The opposite of this freedom also appears which we have seen & still see in our world (our country, the present government) – totalitarian dictatorships-(fascism, communism, marxism, corporationalism, etc).
The skillfulness of the Aquarian Age (it is our choice as humanity) – discovering inexaustible sources of free energy(even the sign of Aquarius depicts an electrical current), working with Nature and not against it, technology that displays & proves the spiritual nature of Reality and the higher dimension and technology that raises the vibration of human consciousness so we can connect directly via telepathy(Aquarius rules telepathy and clairvoyance), and most of all a sense of brotherhood, freedom, justice and equality. The feminine principle standing equal to the masculine principle.
The Teacher for the Aquarian Age is once again the Christ (Pisces World Teacher), who decided at the full moon of June 1949 to return to the Earth as the Aquarian World Teacher, as His work during Pisces was not complete. Humanity has not yet absorbed or integrated the Pisces Law – to Love One Another.
His precipitation begins in 2025, with the great 100 Year Conclave of the Hierarchy meeting to assess humanity’s ability to recognize & receive the Aquarian World Teacher.
The Teacher is the CHrist. The religion is a World Religion.
The Laws – the Aquarian Laws & Principles.
Suggestions:
To write these down in one’s Esoteric Journal.
To know the different signs & their develomental stages for humanity, the Teachers & the Laws & Teachings.
To understand the spiritual development of humanity thru the Ages. And thus to understand ourselves in our present times.
Note: some people are still living in religions & ages past. We observe them, respect them & now we understand them.
Our Continuing Study.
As we create our Advent wreaths w/ candles today.
love, Risa
