Direction

The following remarks were broadcast in the Triangles Webinar on December 11, 2017:

When we’re lost and unable to find our way, we can either wander around aimlessly and try to get our bearings or we can ask someone for directions--or we can open Google Maps! But seeking direction on the spiritual path today can be a challenge because there are so many paths, so many routes, and so many teachers --some good and some not so good.. But the fact that so many people are seeking meaning is a wonderful opportunity for groups such as Triangles that selflessly sends out clarifying light and love into the planetary etheric body so that those who are wandering around in the darkness can more easily find their way to the light.

Our task as Triangles workers is to contribute to the wise circulation and direction of the energies that are ceaselessly pouring throughout the planetary Whole.  We can do this through the realization that as we work together as a group we are in fact part of the Hierarchy, standing on its periphery.  Hierarchy is not distant from us, not an abstraction, it is in fact closer than hands and feet.  We who bridge between the hierarchical center and humanity have a key function for we are closer to humanity and life in the three worlds and, as a consequence, can communicate our impressions and understanding of the present global situation to those working on the inner side.  For they work at a much higher level and are not so intimately connected with the events unfolding on the outer planes and this sharing by humanity is vital to Hierarchical work, enabling them to change their plans if need be in response to humanity’s free will.

And at this time of year as we move towards the potent interlude of the winter solstice, we are building towards a point of heightened spiritual tension. Each year we can seize the opportunity of this solstice period by preparing more fully now with the potent quality of direction that flows in from Sagittarius.  At this time we can see the goal, reach the goal and then see another.  As we approach the midnight time, due north, we become aware of the night sky, of the opening up to the vast sea of energies in which we live and move and have our being.  It is a time therefore when we become more conscious of the many and varied impacts reaching us from all directions, from distant places and overshadowing stars.  We see the mountain top in the distance and sense that touch of Shamballa that comes into play at this time.

The Group of World Servers holds the vision of the Plan before the eye of humanity and the group has been given the difficult task of working out that vision, concretizing and releasing it so that humanity can take its next step.  We can see therefore the close relationship between this group and Sagittarian energy which is the sign of vision, of goal-fitness, and of rapid progress along the plains.  These key qualities of the signs during any particular period become the responsibility of the group to cultivate, using the power of thought, releasing them into the planetary aura and these Sagittarian qualities can surely give impetus to the group.

One of the hints given out by the Tibetan teacher states that the pondering of a hint gives direction within both time and space. Direction in space is related we’re told to the life aspect, to spirit, to a sense of understanding and of working more effectively within that great Entity which encompasses all things. This transcendent reality which is space stands outside the confines of time as we understand them.  Direction within time is related to life in the three worlds.  As these two fields converge direction comes, through the interface between that which is above and that which is below, soul energy is released, opening a portal whereby energy pours in, leading to a consequent expansion of consciousness.  

When considering direction there is a most interesting sutra in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras that runs as follows:  Concentration upon the Pole-Star will give knowledge of the orbits of the planets and the stars.  The Pole-Star, a star which changes from time to time, is that fixed northern point around which many of the major overshadowing constellations revolve from the perspective of our planet.  It is known as the “star of direction” and the sutra states that as we orient ourselves to this point, we foster our spiritual alignment and as a consequence become attuned to a deepened understanding of potent relationships within our system.  Some of these relationships are that between our planet and the seven other solar systems of which ours is one, the relationships established between the 12 signs of the zodiac as well as the 12 labors of Hercules.  The Tibetan, in his commentary, also highlights an important triangle created between the seven stars of the Great Bear (the emanating points for the seven rays, the Rishis or Father aspect), the Pole-Star (which is situated in the Little Bear and is representative of the 2nd aspect, veiled by the star Sirius) and our Earth, which in this case would seem to be representative of the third aspect that is normally referenced as the Pleiades.  The Pole-Star is found at 28 degrees of Gemini and interestingly this point is found directly opposite to the Galactic Center found at 27 degrees Sagittarius, the center point of the Milky Way galaxy. So when the sun is in the Sagittarius-Gemini axis there is a potent alignment established between this potent star of direction for our planet and the central point within our entire galaxy.. The Sagittarius-Gemini axis is also important for the planet because it is the axis wherein the Earth is highlighted,  for the Earth rules esoterically in Sagittarius and hierarchically in Gemini.  Astrologer Niklas Nihlen pointed out that the symbol of our planet (a circle enclosing an even-armed cross) points to our Earth as being in the crosshairs of these two powerful currents of energy.  

So as we work to build in the sense of direction, as we take our stand within the crosshairs, we can hold to the intention to distribute this sense of direction to all those seeking at this time.  Let us use this energy to strengthen our own ability to work more effectively in Triangles and with the Great Invocation so that Light and Love and Power can restore the Plan on Earth.
