The Age of Pisces in which the great world
Saviour, Christ, arrived, will come to an end with the arrival of the Aquarian
Age, as humanity begins our "entrance into heaven" ~ the Spiritual
Kingdom.
Christ did his work utilizing the energy of
Pisces, the sign of the Fishes. One can easily see the effect of these potent
energies, as several of his miracles concerned fish ~ and the symbol used by
many Christians is that of the fish.
These forces impacted our work, as well,
during the Age of Pisces, as the truth of our essential duality ~ body (form)
and soul ~ was revealed. The sign itself shows the linking of the two fishes,
as our soul and body are linked. The evolutionary work of this Age has been the
lifting of our lower physical nature to that of the soul. Christ, in the
Piscean Age, has shown the way ~ the fusion or blending of soul and form to
produce the incarnate Christ in all.
The energies of Pisces will recede,
as did the energies of Aries some 2200 years ago when we moved into Pisces. We
are conscious beings, and as World Servers are aware of this great shift. For
it is one thing to be subjected to unknown or unrecognized energies and forces,
which typically cause disruptions, upheavals, fear and clinging to the past. Such
was the experience for part of humanity as we moved from Aries to Pisces; this
led to artificial divisions in spiritual approach and to an energy of
separativeness which still plagues our world today.
It is quite another experience to be aware of
what is happening. Such awareness will allow us to prepare and work with these
potent energies, opening the door to our evolution in the new age. And this new
age draws near, the Age of Aquarius.
Let us open our hearts, our minds, our very
beings to these inflowing new energies. These influences can and will cause
humanity to identify with the group soul, as we rise from the Human Kingdom
unto the Spiritual Kingdom.
The qualities that are the hallmarks of this
evolution and our "entrance into heaven" are
1. Unselfish
Service
2. Group Work 3. Self Sacrifice |
This great cycle of the ages is like the cycle
of the seasons, in a way; winter in reality does not necessarily end on a given
day, but is part of a larger cycle. The energies of winter gradually recede as
those of spring become enlivened.
We have naturally come to understand how to
work with the seasons and their rhythms. On a far, far grander scale we must
understand and become attuned to the energies and rhythm of the Ages.
As we know, attuning to the cycle of the
seasons can produce optimum growth, and on this grand scale a conscious
alignment with the energies of the Ages produces optimum growth or evolution
for humanity.
Bolding now ...
Jesus is the man who realized Christ Consciousness, the innate divinity in all men. In a book based on the Edgar Cayce's channeled readings, Christ Consciousness is described as an awareness each of us has, which can be "awakened" by our will, "of the soul's oneness with God."39 Paramahansa Yogananda, the Hindu guru who came to America and whose book, Autobiography of a Yogi, inspired many Westerners to follow Hindu-based teachings, defines Christ Consciousness as "the universal consciousness, oneness with God, manifested by Jesus, Krishna, and other avatars,"and is the realization of "God immanent in all creation."40 Unity's The Metaphysical Bible Dictionary expresses it more directly: "Christ is the divine-idea of man....Each of us has within him the Christ, just as Jesus had......The cosmic man...is the Christ....we are not persons, but factors in the cosmic mind. Reveal yourself to yourself by affirming ?I am the Christ, son of the living God'..."41 In one New Age bestseller, the author states that the greatest teaching of Christ was that we all have everlasting life, brotherhood in God, and that we have whatever we request.42
The Avatars
The
return of Jesus should be viewed as perhaps "the reception of the Christ Consciousness in an individual."43 When writing as an astrologer about
Christ and Pisces related to the movie, "The Last Temptation of Christ,"
I suggested that this film may have represented the second coming of Christ
through a film. I stated in the article that "Humanity has been on the
cross...nailed to its own narrow vision, unwilling to sacrifice ego for the
resurrection of divinity. Discovering the Christ within frees us to experience
that divine nature; what Christ did physically, we must do
metaphysically."44
Contained
within the Piscean Avatar is the New Age Christ as the one who awakens Christ
Consciousness within. This Avatar also is a man, Jesus, who became the Christ.
As astrologer Oken puts it:
"Let
us make it absolutely clear that when we use the world ?Christ,' we do not
necessarily mean Jesus. The Christ is the final step in the evolution of Man.
It is a level of consciousness in which the individual has completely unified
his Self with the Godhead. In this respect Buddha was a Christ as was Krishna
as was Jesus."45
As
in most New Age thinking, Jesus becomes the Christ through attaining the Christ
Consciousness, the awareness of the divine Self. Jesus and the Christ are
separate because anyone who achieves this spiritual awareness of the inner
Christ can become the Christ, or as pop singer Jewel puts it, "We all will
be Christed when we hear ourselves say/ We are that to which we pray."46
During
the Age of Pisces, we were TOLD what to believe through religions,
authority figures, dictators, etc. These powers have been losing ground and the
shift is towards "power over self." This debacle of power will
escalate now that the Age of Pisces has ended.
The
Age of Pisces and the Age of Aquarius encourage us to look beyond the five
senses and experience true living by relying on our guidance from within.
Aquarius will be an Age when we truly realize that the love we show towards our
brothers is the love we feel towards ourselves. This represents the
oneness of all things which fosters unconditional love.
Science
and technology will be used to improve human and environmental situations on
earth, and not for monetary gain. We will finally know the true meaning of
"progress." In the Aquarian Age progress will represent decisions or
activities where ALL things and people gain from the change. Sound impossible?
It's not.
We
will finally KNOW we are not "victims" of circumstances, but the
"creators" of our experiences. We are also the ones to change our
earthly situation. The focus will be on making our lives a heaven on earth.
The Age of Pisces opened a window to further our spiritual understanding. Now that Aquarius is taking hold, we just may come to know we are the Christ we've been waiting for.
