Simultaneity, Destiny and ‘The Magical Carousel’, – 4 – UNVEILING

For Vishaal Study Group, 11 February 2007 [Link to Part 1, Part 2 or Part 3]

AeonOur attention must be brought to focus on a singular aspect of our birth in this particular planetary system. Because of the development the Earth herself has experienced, spread over hundreds of thousands of years, the moment has arrived of what I have all along described as the Great Birth. We are in the 9th Manifestation in a cycle of 311,040 years, each Manifestation of which (6480 years) is equivalent to one month of human gestation repeated four times to cover all four planes of being (4 x 77,760). At this very special crossroads of destiny the Child nurtured for this sacred happening emerges from its protective sac as an independent entity. It too takes its first breath.

Simultaneity, Destiny and ‘The Magical Carousel’, -3- COMMONALITY

For Vishaal Study Group, 10 February 2007 [Link to Part 1 or Part 2]

AeonPerhaps the most distinguishing feature of birth on planet Earth is the fact that each individual is distinct from every other.

AeonWhen the Mother and Sri Aurobindo counselled their disciples that yoga was above astrology and that less importance should be given to the latter and concentration should be rather on tapasya, this was as correct as it was necessary, given the in-bred Indian tendency to believe in and rely on astrology. This belief and reliance would certainly interfere in the processes of sadhana if not brought within certain bounds. However, we must now go deeper into this question of destiny and the role it must play in the new dispensation. Continue reading ‘Simultaneity, Destiny & The Magical Carousel, -2- ENHANCEMENT’

Simultaneity, Destiny & ‘The Magical Carousel’ (1 – Convergence)

For Vishaal Study Group (6 February 2007)

AeonWhat I intend to write this morning is important. I have been delving into the question of destiny and the choices we make that carry us toward its fulfilment. For the ineluctable fact is that each one does have a particular, specific destiny; this cannot be denied. Usually at certain crossroads in life we are allowed to have a glimpse of the larger plan for ourselves, and we then seem to make more conscious choices. But the moment passes and the veils close in around us again; we are then driven along in total ignorance of where we are headed and, indeed, why we are here at all.
