A still & quiet day today, Monday, Dec. 22, 2025. Baking day.
And more – the 4th candle on our Advent Wreath is lit. The light within humanity.
Tonight is the last night of Hanukkah. The entire menorah of 8 candles is lit.
Today – the Earth is still & quiet. A meditative quiet.
Reflecting the Sun’s stillness, for three days.
As it contemplates turning around. From moving southward, stopping at the Tropic of Capricorn at Winter Solstice, to its eventual moveing northward again, the six month journey to reach the Tropic of Cancer at Summer Solstice (northern latitudes).
We are quiet & still, too. Everything, including ourselves, moving slowly. As we adjust to the new currents. From involution to evolution. From dark to light. From Sagittarius (fire) to Capricorn (earth).

Quiet & still as it should be, in our contemplation of the new light for the new year.

Today is December 22, 2025 –
Monday, humanity’s day, Ray 4 day. Humanity is Ray 4 (golden yellow)- learning, through conflict & chaos, how to bring harmony in the world. Harmony is under the direction of the Soul.

Surrounding humanity is nature – the kingdom of nature – Ray 3, the color of emerald green. Reminding humanity to become the “Thinkers” the intelligent ones who can discern & discriminate between the pathways of Light & Dark, & to make their choice.

Humanity lives under a blue sky – deep blue of Ray 2 of Love/Wisdom, sky blue of Vision/Hopes/Wishes & Dreams.
With sunrise & sunset colors of red (1) orange (5), & violet (7).
Humanity itself, Ray 4, is golden.
The Kingdom is colorful.

The Astrology today.

Venus/Uranus tonight – new values, new economics, everything changing.

Laws & Principles of the Aquarian Era.
Shift to the Law of Right Human Relations.
Yesterday, at Winter Solstice, we shifted from the Principle of Essential Divinity (seeing all things as divine) to the Laws of Right Human Relations. This is one of the steps towards Peace on Earth. There are two steps towards Peace. I have written them many times. Who can tell us what those steps are?
I read in Letters on Occult Meditation that entrance into the Ashram of the Masters is not easy. One must have a depth of knowledge to enters the Ashrams (there are 7).
The writings that I do here attempt to offer to readers esoteric information so that when the test comes to see who is ready to enter the Ashrams you have the appropriate knowledge. Not new age knowledge which is blather. But the Wisdom Teachings given to humanity via Theosophy (Blavatsky) & Alice (Esoteric) (teachings for the Western mind) & the Roerich’s (Agni Yoga, which is the teachings for the Russian mind).
So again the question – what actions (words) are the two steps towards peace? Who can answer that question?
