Gemini – the sign of Friendship – of Brotherhood.
Gemini – the One into two (two brothers).
The the two into One – a paradox.
Friendship, Brotherhood & Service.

What is brotherhood? What is Service?
Today – the last day of May – today is May 31st, 2025.
Gemini Sun, Leo Moon – air & fire – a combustable day today.
Saturday – Saturn’s day – an intelligent day.
Gemini, Ray 2, Leo, Rays 1, 5 & 2. A love wisdom day too.
Both loving, wise & intelligent.
Which describes Disciples.

In Gemini, the One Existence becomes Two.
The entire creation we know of is based on opposites – male and female, spirit and matter, light and darkness, here & there, you & me. The entire theme, yin/yang is that of duality.
Which is what Gemini demonstrates (each sign has a task).

Duality exists through the apparent opposites.
Disciples stand at the apex of the triangle, looking down into the duality – understanding its purpose.
Sometimes we get caught in one or the other.
If we find ourselves drawn into the multiplicity (one side or the other) without understanding their unity, we end up in the conflict of duality.
Then we are in the throes of Ray 4 – conflict, chaos – which at its very heart is harmony – the Oneness.

Gemini is about friendship, brotherhood – esoteric Masonry term.
We are to be a “friend”, a “brother” to everyone.
Be a Friend to everyone says the Masters of Wisdom.
A friend to all the Kingdoms – mineral plant animal human & angelic.
We learn how to do this over time.
It is the harmonious way of living, part of the Art of Living.
Authentic friendship, brotherhood.

Brotherhood is the highest state to be of a person who is cultivated in the true spiritual sense, and it is the most sublime aspect of Hierarchy. The Hierarchy stands behind us as a great strength when we strive for brotherhood, offering the self (personality self) to the Soul, which then becomes Service to the world.

How do we define the word “Service”?
Service is the spontaneous result of personality/Soul contact.
The Soul infused personality.

Service is often defined from the angle of personality (me, mine, to have, to desire). But service from the spiritual & esoteric point of view, can be defined as the spontaneous effect of soul contact.
The personality is the physical body, emotional body, lower brain mind.
When the personality is in contact with the Soul, directed by the Soul, this contact is so definite and fixed that the life of the soul can pour through into the instrument (personality) which the soul must use upon the physical plane.
This is how the nature/energy/love/wisdom/intelligence/will of the soul can demonstrate (via the personality) in the world of human affairs.

About Service.
(paraphrase from)
Esoteric Psychology vol. 2, pp. 124-5.
Service is not a quality or a performance; it is not an activity towards which people must strenuously strive, nor is it a method of world salvage. This distinction must be clearly grasped…
Service is a life demonstration (a demonstration of life/livingness). Service is a soul urge, and is as much an evolutionary impetus of the soul as is the urge to self-preservation or to the reproduction of the species (which is a demonstration of the animal soul).

This is a statement of importance. It is a soul instinct, if we may use such an inadequate expression and is, therefore, innate and peculiar to soul unfoldment.

Service is the outstanding characteristic of the soul, just as desire is the outstanding characteristic of the lower nature (personality). Service is the urge to group good.

It cannot, therefore, be taught or imposed upon a person.
It is simply the first real effect, evidenced upon the physical plane, of the fact that the soul is beginning to express itself in outer manifestation via the personality (its vehicle).

Goodwill, love, care, listening, tending to those in need, being a friend – all are levels of Service.

Tomorrow – the Festival of Shavuot!
Suddenly the mountains blossomed with flowers!
When the Ten Commandments were given to Moses.
