The Ages, are cycles within still other cycles and mankind would do well to note this.

 

Mankind exists in cycles that are larger than just the Solar Return cycle of the annual year... there is also a larger cycle the annual Solar Year is part of and that is called the Great Year. The Great Year is connected to the precessional cycle and happens over approx 26,000 years. So just as we experience a Summer and Winter on a smaller scale connected to the Solar Year, we experience this in the Galactic macrocosm too connected to the Light of Orion.

So the difference between the larger cycle of Summer and Winter on the Galactic macrocosm is the LIGHT which is waxing and waning is the Light of Orion our Creator. When the Galactic Summer returns once again so does the Light within Mankind and the presence of our Divine Creator is experienced through the Illumination of Divine Man and Woman, this is what we are beginning to experience now as we move into this new part of the cycle and the element of Aether is returning and with it the Christ Light.

When we descend into the Winter of the Great Year this is known as the Iron Age and Mankind experiences complete corruption across our planet due to losing access to the Christ Light and descending in consciousness thus forgetting who we are. In these times of lower consciousness the Universe is sorting the wheat from the chaff testing Souls to see who can be moved from their path and turn on Creation and their Creator. For each Soul has free will to choose to move into their lower base nature and become a partaker in the destruction of Creation even if it is through ignorance.

However when the Light returns so does the presence of our Creator who is known through his children the Divine Race of 144 Tribes.... these are the Gods and Goddesses of all our mythologies.
When the Creator returns his children to their rightful places and they restore their Kingdoms to their natural state of peace and harmony those who have stood in Truth and never turned their back on Him or his Creation will experience the rewards of a New Dawn on this Earth

From the Gospel of Philip “Those who sow in winter reap in summer. The winter is the world, the summer the other Aeon (eternal realm). Let us sow in the world that we may reap in the summer. Because of this, it is fitting for us not to pray in the winter. Summer follows winter. But if any man reap in winter he will not actually reap but only pluck out, since it will not provide a harvest for such a person”

...and this is from W.L. Wilmshurst (The Meaning of Masonry)

“The tradition is also universal of the collective soul of the human race having sustained a “fall,” a moral declension from its true path of life and evolution, which has severed it almost entirely from its creative source, and which, as the ages advanced, has involved its sinking more and more deeply into physical conditions”

Unfortunately Mankind are still in their slumber many are stirring but few have sought out a path back to themselves and this is what it takes to reclaim our crowns....we must prove ourselves worthy of it and in these times when it is the hardest to do as such is when our worthiness is being tested.

Into the Silence of Winter

The Caravanserai

Ali Majdfar's Image in Sanjan Iran Caravanserai

There are  three steps the average person follows through his cycle of life that is exactly the same as the sun has to follow through its yearly cycle.

The sun as does the individual, goes from its  birth to its point of greatest restoring and resurrecting power and then it passes from there to the time when it goes to harvest  and then it goes into the silence of winter. 

So what is the silence of winter in relationship to this mystery cycle? 

Winter is the great sabbath .  It is the time of rest.  It is the time for all things which have passed through experience to then be rewarded by rest and repose.  Winter is a time of peacefulness within.  It is the time where the individual no longer has to to labor and he can rest for a time before he goes forth on another cycle.  

In the words of the men and woman of the Turkish desert,  Winter  is the great Caravanserai or the place of rest and repose where the individual who has completed the cycle of life has an opportunity to prepare for further life. 

The ancients held that under that same heading also comes the word "digestion".  Digestion is an alchemical term.   This term is interesting,  and it has great significance for humanity.    Digestion simply means that having passed through a series of experiences it is necessary for the individual to summarize what he has accomplished.    It is then necessary to transform that experience into an awakening of inner value.

The individual has had a life with many problems and he has had many different decisions to make.   In the Pythagorean discipline of retrospect, he goes back over the years of his life to find out what he has really learned, and to know what mistakes he has made.  The individual also looks at how he corrected those mistakes along the way that he discovered with in himself. 

Here, the individual finds out how the weaknesses of his own character are still holding him back,  he discovers where little germs of self-centeredness have prevented certain magnificent facts from being manifested fully to him.  'Retrospection' therefore in the Pythagorean schools  was given at night just before bed or before sleep.  

In the great solar cycle this retrospection is part of the cycle of winter.   In the great cycle,  winter is an interesting phenomenon that  we know very little about except everything seems goes to rest or goes to sleep.  The evergreen stays green through this time and this is why it became the symbol of immortality and this is why it is the Chrissy tree. 

In this phase. the soul comes to the temporary condition of after death awareness and its not judged by something else but it is where the soul is judged by itself. 

One reviews his own conduct,  detached from body to contemplate what he has learned while embodied to help him to be unembodied forever.   This is the same as the yearly cycle once again.  Next year we will do it better because we have learned where we went wrong. 

This is the Great Solar Cycle of life.   This is all inspired from listening to "The Solar Christmas parts 1 and 2" by Manly P Hall.
