The Aquarian Age, really like all the other ages, has its' possible for our spiritual improvement, and it is pitfalls if we only permit the energies to be filtered via our reduced vibration 'personality filters'. This is why we each and every need to have to be consciously functioning on our personal awakening, or spiritual improvement. Psychologist Carl Rogers spoke of 'seven stages of procedure' towards Self-realization. Self-realization itself is not the ultimate purpose. It really is also a stage. Self-realization is connected to Leo, the fifth sign, and could be regarded stage five in our spiritual improvement. In Esoteric Astrology Alice Bailey wrote that we could not completely recognize the significance of the 12 zodiac indicators due to the fact our consciousness was not evolved adequate. In "Esoteric Astrology" the Tibetan (Master DK) wrote by way of Alice Bailey, that all our illness was a outcome of 'separation'.
All disease takes place as a outcome of separation. The illusion of separation, is a single of distorted perception. The Buddha explained that we fail to see reality as it is, for the reason that we see only by way of our filters. It really is as even though we are attempting to appear outdoors via dirty windows. We can't see how issues actually are till we clean the glass!
The 'mental' disease that we all have, is as a outcome of our distorted perception. We mistakenly think we are separate, not only from every single other, but from the entire of existence. Our spiritual method of getting 'awake' or 'enlightened' is merely one particular of perceiving reality properly. This takes place when we have cleaned our distorted filters and perceptions, which only occurs by means of work. If we do absolutely nothing we stay 'deluded' by our faulty perceptions.
Simply as no one else can chew our meals for us, neither can anybody else get inside our head and do a bit of housekeeping! Some effort is ours alone to do, and our spiritual effort, falls into this category. This is why in Zen and numerous traditions there are so several analogies among sweeping, cleaning, and our spiritual effort.
It's our job to clean our windows from the inside, so that we start to perceive reality properly! In the course of the subsequent 2,500 years of this Aquarian Age, the spiritual prospective of Aquarius is huge, but there is also the most effective danger of all that if we continue to mis-perceive reality, the energy of Aquarius can definitely feed our 'delusions' and boost our mistaken sense of separateness.
Take technologies as a clear instance. The net is a very Aquarian invention. Aquarius is the sign of genius, inventions, technologies, groups and humanity. So it tends to make sense that at the very starting of the Aquarian Age we would have invented a technologies that permits us to connect with men and women all across the planet, and potentially unite humanity.
Aquarius is the fixed air sign. All air indicators are mastering the thoughts. Fixed power is required to generate structures, scaffolds, canals, (even networks) that hold items in spot. So, as with all those Divine energies Aquarius can be a double-edged sword, based upon irrespective of whether we generate a conscious work to open ourselves up to its' highest prospective, or simply let the power to trickle in via our pre-conceived, and erroneous, ego-filters.
A single of the hardest lessons that the Aquarian Age will teach us - is that it's our fixed concepts, mind and opinions that isolate and separate us.
(Aries is also a sign of the thoughts since in rushing forward as the initially sign - the impulse to exist - Aries hits the initially spiritual 'hurdle' - the original notion, the notion that there is a 'me' that is separate from all the things else. But as a fire sign Aries is mastering action- Aries spiritual challenge is to appear to his or her motivation. What is the Supply of this impulse to act? Is it actually 'me'? Or is it Divine? Is it the entire of existence? Aries understands the significance of existence. The spiritual lessons are distinctive from these of Aquarius.)
All ailments of this Aquarian Age will outcome from the 'fixed thoughts' getting locked onto a restricted, distorted, and false, perception of reality. At the similar time the highest spiritual possible of Aquarius is inviting us to expand our awareness, consciousness, and perception, to appropriately perceive the complete of existence. The Soul Ruler of Aquarius is Jupiter: the world of expansion. It's inviting us out beyond our mundane mind to perceive the ultimate reality and then share the rewards with our human brotherhood (sisterhood). The Soul target of Aquarius is to 'pour forth the waters (of enjoy and light) for thirsty humanity'.
We can see that amid its finest possible, unless we consciously build some work to expand our perceptual potential (in a very Cancerian way), attain out, connect and detect the presence of heart-centred awareness, then we could stay locked in our bedrooms, in a very isolated manner, and only use our wonderful technologies to connect in very superficial, aloof, and cold techniques. This would turn into the Aquarian nightmare, not the Aquarian dream.
Far more Aquarian influences are radical 'concepts', communal living: breaking away from conventions and exploring option green technology, and techniques of living that are kinder to the globe. Part of the Aquarian 'nightmare' is the emergence of the self-appointed 'eco-policeman' as persons with fixed Aquarian opinions, generate a false sense of 'righteousness' (ego-filter) and presume to impose their fixed tips and opinions on other individuals. This is not progress. We can't develop spiritual progress from a fixed thought of who we believe we are, or how we 'believe' we need to be. If we are busy acting how we 'believe' we must be, we will in no way find out that which we currently are.
"There is no dogma, no belief technique, and no ritual
needed for this discovery." - Gangaji
We have to have to get out of our heads, and into real, lived, practical experience of our spiritual essence to recognize our actual nature. This is when the radical 'concepts' of Aquarius, will be tempered with warmth, loving-kindness, and sincere, heartfelt compassion for our spiritual brothers and sisters. Our human household.
Meditation is the most effective medicine for our age. It trains us to spot our consideration exactly where we pick out. It offers us the potential to shift our awareness by way of distinctive levels of perception, a great deal adore a car shifting gears. It makes it possible for us to shift from pondering, to other modalities of perceiving beyond thought, and to hold our consideration there. This is how we have an understanding of that our reality is so substantially A lot more than we 'believe' it really is. We are already restricted by pondering, and considering is not perceiving.
If For the duration of those occasions, you notice that your interest is very a lot on what you believe other people should really be carrying out, it really is time to go inside and do a bit of window cleaning! Meditation genuinely is our finest medicine.
Don't forget the zodiac polarities? In addition to meditation the subsequent very best 'medicine' for getting 'too Aquarian', is to move Extra towards the opposite pole of Leo: the sign of the heart. When the radical tips of Aquarius are tempered with the heartfelt warmth and generous sharing of Leo, we will commence to have an understanding of what it suggests to 'pour forth the waters of really like and light'.
