LEO
A great future is in store for this offspring of the celestial virgin.
Listen to the wonderful prophecy of Isaiah: "For unto us a child is born,
unto us a Son is given, and the <敏感詞> shall be upon his shoulders and
his name shall be called WONDERFUL, COUNSELOR, the MIGHTY GOD, the EVERLASTING
FATHER, the PRICE OF PEACE. Of the increase of His <敏感詞> and peace
there shall be no end."
Humanity is to rise to a wonderful spiritual height and this is symbolized
by the Sun's precessional passage through the royal sign Leo, pictorially
represented by the king of beasts, the lion. this is an apt allusion
to the King of Creation, who will then embody the three great virtues of the
Master Man, Strength, Wisdom and Beauty.
It is wonderful to trace the various phases of the religions given to the
Great Aryo-Semitic Race from the time they were "called out" in the latter
third of the Atlantean Epoch, to the end of the Aquarian Age, when a new
race will have been definitely born. This aspect of the Zodiac will form
the subject of the following pages. It will shed light on many of the most
obscure passages of the Bible, as only study of this Cosmic Science can.When we consider the Zodiac in its religious as well as its evolutionary
aspects, by means of the six pair of opposite signs into which the twelve
may be divided, we also commence with Cancer and Capricorn, for the reason
given in the previous article, namely: that these are the solstitial points
where the Sun reaches its highest and lowest declination.
Considered in this manner, we find that there are two sets of three pairs
of signs, the first being Cancer and Capricorn, Gemini and Sagittarius, Taurus
and Scorpio. In these pairs of signs we may read the history of human
evolution and religion, in the early, the middle and the latter third of the
Atlantean Epoch. This is also divisible into three distinct periods,
namely: THE ARYAN AGE, from Moses to Christ, which comes under Aries-Libra;
the PISCEAN AGE, which takes in the last two thousand years under
Pisces-Virgo Catholicism; and the two thousand years which are ahead of us,
called the AQUARIAN AGE, where the signs Aquarius and Leo will be illuminated
and vivified by the solar precession, for the upliftment of the Son of
Man (Aquarius), by the Christ within, the Lion of Judah (Leo), to the estate
of Superman.
It must not be thought, however, that the Atlantean Epoch only lasted
while the Sun by precession went through Cancer, Gemini, and Taurus, a period of only six thousand and a few hundred years; far from it; but there
are spirals within spirals and recapitulation takes place in the epochs and
races, so that we may know what is the general destiny by looking at the
Sun's passage through these signs and therewith taking this import and symbolism
into consideration. It may also be said that the further we advance
the smaller do the spirals become, the shorter the time in which a given improvement
is made, because of the proficiency we attained in former ages,
and therefore it is extremely probable that this present is the last lap,
that the coming Aquarian Age is the final preparatory school day which will
fit us for the new age, the Sixth Epoch, and that this will begin when the
Sun by precession enters Capricorn.
This, of course, would mean that the Second Advent must take place just
before that time, and though it seems to us that so many signs point that
way, still it is a mere surmise and may not have any truth in it at all.
Thousands of people have been misled during all the ages that we know of, to
think that Christ would soon be here; it is, however, better that we are
looking forward to it than if we should say with some, that it will never
take place. In that case the Great Day would find us unprepared and we
should find ourselves among the stragglers who are unfit to attend the wedding
feast of the Higher Self to the lower because lacking the "soul-body,"
the "wedding garment," necessary to enfold them.
