As we round up to Mid-Summer - When we look up to the heavens, we gain the impression that there is an active Cosmic Intelligence scintillating in the rising warmth - an impression of many beings living within each other, interwoven with light. Up above everything we perceive is illumined, permeated, with a ripening effulgent wisdom. Yet down below, deep within Mother Earth, we sense that in the blue darkness, everything is experienced as dim forces of will – a banked expansion that pushes up as growth. Within this beaming activity there appears the extremely earnest countenance of Uriel, the Archangel of Summer – which arises as a glowing heat out of the pervading radiant Intelligence. We have the impression that this Being forms its body of light, out of the radiant Intelligence. And for this to happen at the height of Summer, the Elemental Spirits of the Earth must soar upwards. And as they do, they weave themselves into the shining Intelligence up above - & the shining Intelligence receives them into itself - And out of that gleaming radiance Uriel takes form. It is with great earnestness that this representative of the weaving cosmic forces, seeking to embody himself in a vesture of light, appears in the time of Summer. The intelligence of Uriel arises from the working together of the Planetary forces, supported by the working of the fixed stars of the Zodiac. The deeds accomplished by Uriel in the radiant light, preserves the thoughts of the cosmos, in his thoughts. The feeling comes: “You clouds of summer, radiant with Intelligence, in which are reflected up above the blue crystal-formations of the earth below, just as these blue crystal-formations mirror in turn the shining Intelligence of the summer clouds — out of your shining there appears in high summer, with earnest countenance, a concentrated Imagination of Cosmic Understanding… Through the power of attraction residing in the concentrated cosmic Intelligence of Uriel, the silver forces (white) are drawn upwards, and in the light of this inwardly shining Intelligence, as seen from the Earth, they appear as radiant sunlight, densifying into a glory of gold. One has the immediate feeling that the gleaming silver, streaming up from below, is received by the sunlit radiance above. And the earth-silver — the phrase is quite correct — is changed by cosmic alchemy into the cosmic gold which lives and weaves in the heights.” With the sprouting, fruiting life, we can no longer speak of matter permeated by spirit, as it is in winter. We have to speak of spirit woven through with matter – with silver and gold. ~A Summary of THE ST.

After the Whitsun week we move from the Easter lunar cycle to the Solar one. Easter was very late this year, so all the 3 Trinity verses, ending with the Summer Solstice on Saturday, have to be in this week. Translations by Roy Sadler - v9 And when I let my own will go The comming of the summer's warmth Will fill my soul and spirit being; My spirit vision is commanding me To lose myself in light, and ardently My foresight's calling: 'Lose yourself. To find your Self'. v10 The being of the sun ascends to summer's heights And into the sublime, the cosmic harmony Wherein a dawning vision's intimating faintly, 'In future you will know: A holy being felt you now'. v11: Summer Solstice It rests this high sun's hour with you To recognise the call of wisdom: 'In you, absorbed in worlds where beauty lies, Through all your feeling realise, The human I can lose itself And find itself within the Cosmic I'.
