What is stirring in the collective World Soul on this day - 2-2-2025?
Today is the Feast Day of Abel, a shepherd - holding the pure life force, taming the astral realm - the Priestly receiver of what Yahveh gave.
And it’s interesting that today is also the Feast Day of Seth, whose name means ‘placed’ or ‘appointed’. In Judaism, Christianity, & Islam, Seth is recognized as the son of Adam & Eve, appointed as a replacement for Abel, ‘killed’ by his half-brother Cain. Seth held the qualities of both older brothers in balance.
Whenever I hear the name Seth, I think of “The Golden Legend” which was imparted to the pupils of occultism in the form of a powerful imgination - The legend tells that Seth was called by Michael to approach the Cherubim with the flaming sword guarding the gate of Paradise. He passed the initiation & was allowed to consciously cross the Threshold. There he found the Tree of Knowledge & the Tree of Life with their branches intertwined into one tree. From this tree Seth took 3 seeds, following the command of the Angel who guided him. He kept the 3 seeds safe, & when Adam died, he placed them into Adam’s mouth. And a tree grew out of Adam’s grave; this tree revealed the words written in flaming letters: “Ejeh Asher Ejeh. I am who was - Who is - & Who shall be.” (This is an echo of the New Isis who declares: “I am the human being, I am the past the Present & the Future, Every mortal shall lift my veil”)
Seth took some wood from this tree & many things were made out of it: among them the branch which became the magic rod of Moses.
And this tree multiplied; from its wood the portal of Solomon’s Temple was made. And later on, when it had passed thru many other destinies, it became the Cross upon which The Being of Christ hung. And so the legend connects the wood of the Cross of Golgotha with the Tree which grew out of Adam’ s grave from the seeds of the Trees of Paradise, which Seth planted.
And so dear friends if you keep reading you will see why I am interweaving these seemingly diverse images together as we explore the profound connections with the 9th Holy Night -
But 1st the foundation is being laid to show that today is also the Birthday of Melchior, the oldest member of the Magi. The King of Persia who brought the gift of gold to the Matthew Jesus.
It is also the Deathday of Theodorus of Cyrene an ancient Libyan Greek who lived during the 5th century BC. The only first-hand accounts of him that survive are in 3 of Plato’s dialogues. He is famous for the mathematical theorem now known as the Spiral of Theodorus, which is the perfect lead in for the 9th Holy Night which is represented by the symbol of a Vortex – a representation of the Constellation of Cancer, The Crab (ruling the ribcage) This is the Sphere of the Cherubim – Remember, that was the being guarding the gates of paradise who allowed Seth to enter. The Cherubim are the Spirits of Harmony.
9th Holy Night:Constellation of Cancer, Crab (the Vortex) (ruling the chest/breast)The Sphere of the Cherubim, Spirits of Harmony –
The Circle of the 12 Zodiac can be traced back to the dance of the Cherubim working from the world-periphery down into our primal beginnings in the ethers of Old Sun, to create a kind of cosmic thorax, a protective rib cage around the Sun/Heart.
The sign of the Crab stands at the highest point of the circle of the zodiac, embracing the whole circle in its protective shell. The Crab is a modification of the vortex, an ancient occult symbol, which out-pictures the harmonious transition between cycles.
All transitions: including World Evolution, in its various transformations thru out time - the shift from great & small - the precession of the equinox’s - & even the seasonal round, are directed by the Cherubim– the Spirits of Harmony.
They take-up the designs of the Seraphim, the ‘Architects of the Gods’ above them, & move it toward expression by handing it down to the Thrones. Here we see the harmonious interaction that occurs between the hierarchies.
The spirals of the vortex provide the revolving movement, while the space in-between the arms of the vortex relates to a rest, or pralaya, a pause before the spiral transitions into a new phase.
Some ‘revolutions’ from 1 condition to another can take a more dynamic character, something more drastic like the flood - or the ultimate example of the ‘Turning Point of Time’- Christ’s entry into world evolution (Matt: 21-25 describes this kind of forceful expression shown in particular scenes from the life of Jesus)
Interesting to note, that John the Baptist, was Born under the sign of the Crab, who in previous lives had been Elijah & before that Adam, the first earthly man, who then became, after his death as John the Baptist, a kind of group soul for the apostles, fortifying them like a protective shell around their human zodiac circle - a rib-cage around Christ-Jesus, the Sun-heart of the 12.
John the Baptist was able to recognize the pure nature of the Nathan Soul living in Jesus of Nazareth, that part of himself that was separated out before the fall, held back in the Sun sphere, so that it could unite with Christ in His descent to earth. ( The meeting of Mary with her cousin Elizabeth shows this)
We see a connection with the Cherubim & Adam (John the Baptist) & Eve (the Matthew Mary) at the fall, when the human being was cut off from the Trinity-the realm beyond the Zodiac, & the way was barred by the Cherubim with the flaming sword.
This is a pre-figuring of John’s ‘Voice of Conscience’, which proceeds from the realm of the Cherubim. Our impulses of will, sprung from Conscience, was/& is, a necessary requirement for an understanding of the Christ impulse.
And It was the Buddha who prepared the way for Conscience to arise during the time of Ancient India, which stood under the sign of the Cancer/Crab at that time in history.
Many of John the Baptist’s sermons were a reflection of the Sermon at Benares, because the angel of Buddha was inspiring him.
The Age of the Consciousness Soul is a further preparation for this morality of conscience, because “I” consciousness requires a lighting up of Thought in the Will. This is an ability to understand the intentions behind actions – Moral Cognition – which is the seat of the Will. Ever asking: Are we willing to heed the voice of conscience, & foster the imaginative inspiration from the realm of the Cherubim in our Heart-Thinking?
Let the way be opened, so we can transition gracefully in our journey back to the Godhead in this journey thru the Holy Nights… See you in the spiraling vortex Xox ~hag
