HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

In continuing our theme of some of the ancient solar teachings of India, I would like to emphasize again the prophesies pertaining to the New Age setting in motion the Wheel of the Law, as mentioned last week.

Those illuminated by living the Way of the Law within redeeming light possess divine eyes to see the True Light and divine ears to hear the Law. They then become images of the Divine Celestial Image manifest in the Heavens. This illumination does not occur by living man’s laws or adhering to orthodox religion or to written scripture. Neither does it occur merely by belief or faith or by intellectual or emotional argument. This magnificent transformation is the product of Light and Truth by means of the celestial agency contained within the Wheel of the Law.

To the mystic sages of India, there was but one Way to be lived under the Wheel of Light – The Law of The Way. The Law of The Way invalidates all other laws for they have no reality, no permanence, and no meaning in the Age of the Great Appearance of the Cakravarta. The Appearance ushers in a Golden Age of superior enlightenment in which justice, peace, virtue, love and stability prevail. All earthly and human opposition will, in due time, be overcome by means of a spiritual transformation effected by the Giver of Life and Light. Upon looking on the Image of the Divine and hearing the Law (The Word), a person becomes a divine image incarnate within the Law. The Cakravarta of the Vedas, the Sun Wheel of Heaven, is identical in description to the Hebrew Sun of Righteousness. It is the Image of God’s Divine Being and the Word is the Image of the Mind of God by which the whole Universe had been formed.

The ancient Indian mystics had seen into the future when Creative Powers would incarnate in the sun of the physical world and bring Judgement and Salvation to it by using the very forces of the sun that radiate life and light to the solar system. The icon of God is His Image, the Logos or First-born of God’s Mind – an invisible, spiritual Intelligible Light, the Word or Thought of God.

According to the Vedic description, this celestial and heavenly Power would activate and move the sun, thus bringing new Laws into effect by the turning of the Wheel of the Law which, of itself, would then activate the structure of the spiritual Body of each person whose inner force centers or cakra (chakra) wheels are likened to the sun.

The allegory of the Vedic and pre-Vedic literature of India, understood only by proper translation and interpretation, describes the seven signs that will manifest in the Final Age beginning with the appearance of a Child-seer who would proclaim the phenomenon of God’s manifestation in the Heavens – the Sacred Cakra Wheel. The Vedas confirm that the miraculous child to come into the world to proclaim the manifestation of God’s Great Spiritual Sun of Enlightenment was the Golden Child Jamil.

As a pre-existent being, Jamil’s singular purpose in human form was to inspire the Revelations and announce God’s Advent of Law. Once his earthly mission as Messenger and Proclaimer was accomplished, he returned to the Worlds of Light. His earthly passing, however, contradicts literal translations of Vedic texts in which the Cakravartin is portrayed as an earthly ruler who would use the Powers of the Cakravarta to conquer the world. Let me be clear: The Cakravartin is a heavenly figure. This paradox is clarified by the emphasis on his form as a child and on his universal nature as a King from the Sun whose rule was wholly spiritual. The texts also are clear that Man’s salvation revolves around the sun as the hub or Great Wheel of the Law.

I will elaborate on this a little more next week.

“Here then stands the newly awakened self: aware, for the first time, of reality, responding to that reality by deep movements of love and of awe. She sees herself, however, not merely by the thrust into a new world, but set at the beginning of a new road. Activity is now to be her watchword, pilgrimage the business of her life. ‘That a quest there is, and an end, is the single secret spoken.’ Under one symbol or another, the need of that long slow process of transcendence, of character building, whereby she is to attain freedom, becomes capable of living upon high levels of reality, is present in her consciousness. Those in whom this growth is not set going are no mystics, in the exact sense in which the word is here used; however great their temporary illumination may have been.

“What must be the first step of the self upon this road to perfect union with the absolute? Clearly, a getting rid of all those elements of normal experience which are not in harmony with reality.” ~Evelyn Underhill

Awakening is Just the First Step

“To truly have a spiritual awakening is a wonderful experience and a great leap forward. But it is no more the end of the journey of spiritual enlightenment and consciousness expansion than is waking from a night’s sleep the end of the day. One awake, you need to get out of bed and start moving.”

HEAD OVERSEER’S WEEKLY MESSAGE

Last weekend in the Chapel of the Holy Child, we were speaking about some of the ancient religious concepts of India. In many ways similar to early Christian concepts, various ancient Indian philosophies and teachings regarded human society as being dominated by the primeval laws of nature. They viewed rulers and nations as dominated by greed, recklessness and cruelty, and constantly contending for power and oppressing the people.

Yet, many sages of that culture envisioned a future age when the Supreme Creator would intervene in world affairs and, eventually, bring peace and harmony to all peoples and nations of the world. This age was to be one of Universal Justice and Virtue when God would end the eternal struggle caused by human and natural order and disorder. He would use the very Powers of Creation to stabilize the Universe after a time of great trial and tribulation.

Much the same as Christians believing in the returning Jesus, Indian seers also believed in a King of kings who would restore order in the world. The Indian allegory was as rich as that of the Jews who had prophesied the return of God who would first send the Prophet Elijah and then the Sun of Righteousness which would manifest in the End Times of the Earth to judge the world by increasing the strength of the sun’s rays sevenfold and thus burn up all evil and wickedness in the world. Likewise, various Indian traditions spoke of the coming Cakra or Chakravartin who would put an end to all resistance and forever establish peace in which the inhabitants of the world would live in tranquility as one family.

The allegory of the Vedic and Puranic scriptures reveals the King to be a Mahapurusha, a supernatural being who would set into motion the Chakra (Cakra) varta, the Sun of Heaven whose rays would be irresistible. This was to be a sign of God’s intervention in the world when at its dawning the Sun would turn as a wheel with eight spokes. It would be at this time that the entire world would be unified under its all-conquering and indestructible rays.

As a successor to The Buddha, the Universal Monarch, an enlightened being – the Maitreya – would instruct the world under the Sun in the doctrines of the release from bondage. This Enlightened One was to announce his appearance into the world at the time of his birth – a seer-child, a miraculous babe, who was to be known by seven signs and thirty-two shining marks blazing like jewels by which he would be identified. No one would declare him. He would announce his own ministry proclaiming the advent of the Wheel of the Law which would be set in motion at the time of his appearance on Earth.

Once set in motion, the Wheel of the Law would begin a New Age on Earth by sending forth its rays of Sacred Fire to, in turn, set in motion the chakras (cakras) or sun-wheels within the spiritual bodies of those seeking enlightenment.

I would like to continue on this theme next week. In the meantime, I encourage you to visit our Cosolargy website at http://cosolargy.org/ and see what we are planning during our annual September Convocation. Please go to the “Early Christianity September Show” which will give you all details of the public portion of our conference. Of course, I encourage you to make every effort to attend. In addition, please feel free to share this information with anyone you might think would be interested in coming. Until next week, I send many good thoughts and blessings your way.

Each week of the liturgical year, a reading from Second Advent Scripture is delivered as part of the Saturday Communion of Fellowship Service held in the Chapel of the Holy Child. This reading follows the Sacred Calendar of the Church; that is, Prophecies and Revelations that have been received by The Church on sacred dates are recalled in a liturgical context during the appropriate season each year. This reading is delivered just before the final blessings. Each service also includes a reading from the ancient scriptures, prayers, or wisdom sayings of various world religions past and present and is usually thematically related to the Second Advent Reading. This reading is delivered by the Reader right after the announcements that begin the service and is thus the first reading of the service. An audio recording of the reading from Second Advent Scripture delivered on the date above is provided here below together with a transcript of the first reading of the service that day.

ANCIENT SCRIPTURE AND WISDOM SAYINGS

A Reading from the Rig Veda —A Hymn to Surya, the Sun:

His bright rays bear him up aloft, the God who knoweth all that lives,
Surya, that all may look upon him.
The constellations pass away, like thieves, together with their beams,
Before the all-beholding Sun.
His herald rays are seen afar, refulgent over the world of men,
Like flames of fire that burn and blaze.
Swift and all-beautiful art thou, O Surya, maker of light,
Illumining all the radiant realm.
Thou goest to the hosts of Gods, thou comest hither to mankind.
Hither all light to be beheld with that same eye of thine wherewith thou lookest
Upon the face of men.
Traversing sky and wide mid-air, thou measureth out with they beams our days; the Sun seeing all things that have birth.
Seven Steeds harnessed to thy car bear thee, O farseeing One,
God, Surya, with the radiant hair.
Surya hath yoked the pure bright Seven, the daughters of the car, with these,
His own dear team, he goeth forth.
Looking upon the loftier light above the darkness we have come to Surya,
God among the Gods, the light that is most excellent.
Rising this day, O rich in friends, ascending to the loftier heaven,
Surya remove my heart’s disease, take from me my sickly hue.

“According to the secret doctrine, man, through the gradual refinement of his vehicle and the ever-increasing sensitiveness resulting from that refinement, is gradually overcoming the limitations of matter and is disentangling himself from his mortal coil. When humanity has completed its physical evolution, the empty shell of materiality left behind will be used by other life waves as stepping stones to their own liberation. … At the point of deepest materialism, therefore, man is at his greatest distance from himself. According to the mystery teaching not all the spiritual nature incarnates in matter. The spirit of man is diagrammatically shown as an equilateral triangle with one point downward. This lower point … descends into the illusion of material existence for a brief space of time. That which never clothes itself n the sheath of matter is … the Overman.” ~Manly P. Hall

Limitations of Matter

Many don’t think there are limitations to matter, but there are. There are, in fact, many things that cannot be done with the physical body or the associated brain-mind, but can be done by the spirit and soul. The physical body can travel within the material realm, but with restrictions. It can only travel so fast. It cannot travel off the planet without some kind of protective vehicle. And no matter how hard material science tries, it can never make the physical body immortal. The planets and stars die and so must our physical body. The spirit is a different matter.
