Invocation
 

Pisces marks the end of the annual cycle of the zodiac. The symbol of the fishes represents the Soul and personality connected by the thread of life. Pisces, one of the seven dual signs, is the sign of sacrifice—at once the sacrifice of the Soul in the process of personality development during involution, and then, during evolution, the sacrifice of the integrated personality for the Soul. Renunciation plays its part as Pisces redeems through renunciation. We are all in this room at some stage of renunciation of the personality on our way back to what we call in abstract terms, Pure Light.

Being at the end of the annual cycle we can’t help but be reminded in Pisces that we are passing out of the Piscean Age, with its emphasis on authority and belief, and coming into the Aquarian age that will be characterized by understanding and direct knowledge.  In The Externalization of the Hierarchy we are told that the activity of the forces characteristic of these two signs produces a corresponding activity in the atoms of our vehicles.  We are on the verge of a new knowledge and the atoms of our bodies are being tuned-up for reception.

As the Sun, from our point of view, moves among the other heavenly bodies, each Solar month brings certain heightened accessibility to distinct energies.  Knowing which energy is most readily available for use, understanding the ways in which that energy can be beneficial to humanity, and learning how to employ it is part of our evolutionary process.  Look forward to the time when, as D.K. tells us, we will be taught to heal by color and to draw energy out of the ether.

The curriculum exists: Nature of the Soul, the Agni Yoga Series, the Secret Doctrine and the Books of Alice A Bailey are available to all. In addition, there are disciples who have stepped-down the Wisdom for use by those at all stages of development.  Don’t be surprised when browsing through your local book store some day to find titles like D.K. for Dummies, or the new Covey book: The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Esotericists.  An early chapter in that book will surely be called, as in the other Covey books, “Begin with the End in Mind.” That chapter will describe an externalized Hierarchy and the appearance of Soul-controlled people on Earth in everyday life and at all stages of that control.

I’ve used a bit of humor in describing future possibilities with faith that the examples wouldn’t cause hysteria and that we are a group of relatively integrated personalities and can quickly turn our attention to the serious task of readying our instruments to be receptive to Spiritual impression.  Let’s do that.
