The Science of Service - December 2017

As the sun transits into a new constellation it moves as well into a new “mansion” or field of expression. The Aquarian mansion is known as that of “the Serving Man”, highlighting the field of service itself. We can see, therefore, the potential of the coming cycle and what it holds out to us in terms of opportunities for soul expansion.

All moves are opportunities for a fresh start, a time to leave behind the old and dusty remnants of the past. Therefore, under the impress of these inpouring energies, new forms of service will evolve that will be more fluid and transparent expressions for the soul’s use. But, Aquarius will also be a more scientific age, and therefore we will learn to serve with greater precision, exactitude, and rhythm — controlling and directing energies rather than being controlled by them. The Triangles network fits right into both these emerging ways of service for it is at once fluid and creative but also an activity that calls for precision and the focused ability to work daily to use thought, in ways that are life sustaining and of benefit to the whole. 

We know that service is as breathing to the soul; without the opportunity to serve, the soul cannot function on the three lower planes. So, as the soul is given greater scope to breathe in our world, there will be new life all around and the structures of the present paradigm will fall away, for they will not serve the purposes of the soul culture. Moving into Aquarius we can expect an increasingly concerted, scientific application to service, bringing humanity closer to its destiny of becoming an instrument for the soul’s use. Instead of the present fleeting connection with the higher self that occurs during meditation or under the pressure of some work to be done or emergency to be met, service will then become the way of life itself. The methods and techniques for inducing this scientific service are not mysteries. They have been with us for thousands of years, embodied in the teachings and techniques of such classics as Patanjali’s yoga sutras, the Bhagavad Gita and The New Testament. These teachings give the sign posts for inducing soul control, and this practice can be expected to become one of the preeminent sciences of the coming age.

We are moving into a cycle wherein the many threads of creative activity, which characterize the workers and their diverse approaches to the one Reality, will begin to weave and blend together in mutual support and a strengthening of each other’s hands.  This weaving will create such a resilient fabric that humanity will take a major step forward in its ability to aid the forces of planetary evolution.  And in this work of creating a resilient fabric, Triangles partners can have a key role to play.
