According to the Lore, Love is the energy
signature that exists between Spirit and
Matter. To understand this energy we
must realize that Love does not ever stand
alone. Love always and only co-exists between
idea and form, between impulse and
manifestation.
To make this cosmic Principle understandable
to humans, the ancient Teachers, the original
revealers, resorted to metaphor. They clothed
this cosmic reality in what
is perhaps the most
common and deeply held
human conception of all,
that of the father, the
mother and child. Thus they referred to Spirit as
Father and to Matter as Mother and to the
Mysterious and Omnipresent energy we call
Love as the Child or Son. This metaphor,
Father, Mother, Son has become the most basic
of the "archetypes" presently known to us
Humans. As a metaphor it both reveals and,
alas, as does all art of any genre, hides the
Truth.
This revealed fact of the always and only co
existence and appearance of These Three was at
one time in humanity's past seen and
unquestionably accepted as Truth. As we have
seen over the past few thousand years, this
basic archetype has been greatly obfuscated and
dimmed by both design and tradition. The
actual existence of the Formless or Spiritual
aspect of this Trinity, not being accessible to
the lower 5 senses, had been all but dismissed
as imagination, wishful thinking, superstition or
just plain non-sense. With the denial of the
Spiritual or formless aspect of this Truth,
Humanity lost not only
the concept of The One
Will which Fathers forth
throughout the Cosmic
dimensions of Universe,
but the Son, the Child, as well. When we lose
the Child or Son, we lose Love the divine
linkage between Spirit and Matter.
The loss of Love, literally the Heart of the Life,
also resulted in the whirlwind of intellectual
dissection of the Matter or Mother aspect of our
beloved planet. With this lower mind driven
matricide of the Mother we lost Her Mystery,
her very nature. She had been reduced to forms,
to periodic tables, to protons, electrons and
strings, pieces of stuff. Gone with the Son was
all the mystery of Her Purpose in the Grand
Design. Gone was the fact of Her living
presence, Her service, Her Divine Intelligence,
Her Mothering, Nurturing, Protecting powers
and co-creative contributions to the Intent of the
Father and the Cosmic Whole.
Millions of people, the
world over, walk daily
through the splendor of Her
nurturing power with blind
eyes. Few of the seven plus
millions of souls who live
here in the Southern
California, for example, notice that in spring the
rolling hills will suddenly turn from delicate
shades of green to a vibrant chrome yellow, and
shortly later will be covered in a purple carpet
of tiny, flowers. How many of us stop and
resonate to the deep mystery of the magic and
power of the Mother at work.
In its place we see the planet, the Matter as a
thing. She is reduced to mere substance,
resources, oil, coal, timber, minerals, flesh, fish,
fowl-something to be dominated and used.
There is no understanding, no reverence or
appreciation for Earth as a living essential in the
Co-Creative process of Father, Mother and
Child and the manifestation of the Divine Plan.
The world's religions for the most part have
been of little help in maintaining the clarity and
beauty of the Grand three part Design of Father,
Mother and Child. On the one hand they have
preached the notion that the world of matter, of
flesh, the body of the Mother was evil, the
source of Sin. On the other they preached that
salvation was only possible through the
renunciation of the world or the denial of the
Mother and the acceptance of a transcendent
Father. A very large number of Humanity's
most grievous actions against the Mother, the
Father, the Child and even each other can be
laid at the doorstep of this bit of darkness.
Even so, the ageless and deeply embodied
metaphor, the fact of the One Life, of the
Father, Mother and Child has, from the
beginning, reverberated, with out a pause,
through the fabric of human consciousness.
This ancient archetype still resonates deep
within the core of
Humanity, and
today is responsible
for the burgeoning,
in fact exploding,
renaissance of
Love. It lies at the
heart of our
growing re-cognition of our basic relationships
on all levels of living.
The pulse of this strong and deep truth is
steadily shattering the limes and veneers of
illusion and half truths that have been layered
over the basic truth of our essential divinity and
our basic belonging to not only one another but
to the very Earth upon which we walk, to the
water we drink and the air we breath. There is
only One Life within which we live and move
and, with countless others, have our being. And
we Humanity are beginning to re-awaken to it.
Just as the Master D.K. pointed out that, "There
is no your soul and my soul, but only the One
Soul." We are beginning to realize that there is
no my "I" and you "I". There is only Us. And
even within the shell of our own "I" we are
beginning to understand that the Soul, the
personality and the wrongfully maligned subconscious
self are really aspects of the One
Self. We are realizing that we are not three
separate and separated hunks of stuff, but the
One Self. We are a single "I" and as Mathew
said, "When the eye is single thy whole body
will be full of Light." Or as the ancient
Mantram chanted by applicants for the third
Initiation indicates, "There is a Power that
makes all things New; it lives and moves in
those who know the Self as One.
As we re-cognize the ancient varieties-rather
than remember them because what we
remember is a collection of old and for the most
part illusory thoughtforms-we gain
understanding of the true nature of reality and
move from the darkness into the Light. We are
able to fuse our "I" with the "I" of others to
create groups. With each unifying effort the
whole new body becomes full of Light. We see
better and deeper into the nature of Life. Our
point of view shifts from the self-conscious,
separative view of the isolated "I" to the
expanded view of the group and We began to
realize what Group Consciousness means.
So, we start by discovering and unifying the
three parts of our own self. Then realizing that
there is no separate "I" we are able to fuse into
groups. Soon we realize that there is no my
group and your group but only the One Group,
the Ashram.
From here, It is only a brief step to the
realization that there is no my ashram and your
ashram but only the Hierarchy, only the Christ
Who always and only co-exists between the
Mother and the Father of the World. And there
is, of course, no my Earth and your Jupiter and
our Mars, no my planet and your planet but
only the, the Father the Child and the Mother
Whom we call the Solar System.
We could, if we liked, go on a long way with
this synthetic dance, for it is the nature of Life.
Although I do not know what a group of
Galaxies is called, I am sure there are such
gatherings of Great Ones within the "body" of
the Cosmic Mother.
However, the simple practical point for here
and now is to reveal and emphasize the fact of
the One Humanity, and the importance of the
one group of group conscious individuals to
that unified whole and our role in the Living
Plan. In Gemini, which is often called the Christ
Moon, our function is to present a single "I" not
a uniform but a unified "I" to the Christ so that
we can become full of Light, Christ Light, the
Light of Love. For it is Love, friends, truly,
Love that makes all things possible, even a
heaven on Earth.
