Reaching for the Stars

Dietary Exercise Suggested:

Planting the seed, and eating its produce

Commentary:

This chapter is about both beginnings and their eventualities, and the faith required between the two – and so it is only fitting that for the dietary exercise concluding here we have both a seed and a plant made known by us.

Although not previously stated, the texts given in this book have offered yet one more perspective upon the zodiacal tendencies as borne out within our esoteric starry natures. You can find (although in a different running order of course) profiles which you will recognise, talents and inclinations, alongside also the emphasis as is given to each within their elemental strengths and notations.

Astrology has long set about to infer from the heavenly bodies that which causal astronomy could not. One of the reasons it could do this was because of its audacity in presuming that it could and can be done. Added to this it is interesting to say, that the astronomers who blithely view the stellar activities generally react with horror at the concept of their being an esoteric implication to their ‘science’ … whilst the configurations of the astrologer are no less accurate in their tracking, yet embellished with an understanding which speaks more about significance than it does of matter.

This is a controversial argument and in one sense borders upon the absurd. However, from the point of view of the spiritual seeker, it is most relevant for we have two main concerns:

1. That further knowledge and esoteric insight cannot be gained without a measure of bridging faith. That many futures will not be brought into consequence if we do not enact upon an impassioned commitment to an outcome that cannot be proven until it eventuates. (This being both the nature of the Futures and of Christ in His Action here also.)
2. That our founding concepts may indeed be incorrect, that our bearings be so misplaced initially and our main priori be dislocated from such truths as are redeemingly pertinent, that the true outcome is not perceived by us and is therefore fraught with consequent danger.

In other words, it is essential that we are given some kind of correct guidance from the outset as to how a particular seed should be planted, that it will hopefully sprout and go on to realise a productful maturity. And also, the discrimination to recognise this advice in its validity. We are required therefore to have in this process:

• a seed
• a conviction that this planting will effect an outcome
• a hope that the outcome will be good
• a projected picture concept of what that outcome might be
• a desire for the outcome itself
• the correct additives (sun, soil, water)
• the correct advice
• the correct conditions
• the correct determining karma (perhaps and depending)
• cooperation (from the seed and its kingdom)
• attendance (follow-up duties after the initial planting)
• The Holy Trinine (Our Father’s approval, Our Beloved Christ’s Signature & the Holy Spirit’s Life)

As fundamental as this may sound, it is nonetheless just as practical a guide, when pursuing those learnings which are profoundly so unknowable in their totality, yet spiritually palpable in semi-entirety!

What it does not offer however, is a plan given for an outcome which cannot be known, because it is so new, it has not yet happened. These outcomes can only begin in our envisionings, our hopes, our creativity, our whisperings from the spiritual hierarchical architects, and from our greatest and deepest of loves.
