Spiritual Seeds – August 2012
By Christos Archos, M. Sc
This month, we need to be fully aware of our abilities and try to understand that although we are a small dot in the sand, we ARE capable of changing the world. At the same time, we also need to learn how to use our abilities for the improvement of the world.
RAY OF THE MONTH
This month, the 1st and the 5th rays will be easily expressed in the world. This is a month for humanity to reach self-consciousness and to broaden our minds. One important thing is for us to change the use of our mentality for a greater, higher purpose than ourselves. A lot of people will be trapped by trying to use their abilities for their own purposes.
Unfortunately, especially during this month, any of the seven deadly sins, which are a result of egotism, can lead to destruction. For a spiritual person, this month is most dangerous because the ego is creating pseudo-images that may seem very promising – an enticing siren song. For this reason, it is necessary to focus the ego energies on something more constructive, and to build something that is not narrow-minded or just only for ourselves. This month will also give people the chance to take a ‘test’. This is the most important ‘initiation’ where we begin to expand beyond ourselves and start to serve others. The final initiation is always the ability of people to become reflectors of sources of light, to bring light into their hearts, and into the world. Love combined with decisiveness is important at this time.
Another significant thing is the opportunity to be transformed from domineering, insecure people into purposeful, loving, kind creatures. This means that we need to stop using power for the sake of power, and to use our power instead to serve a higher purpose.
SABIAN SYMBOLS OF THE FULL AND NEW MOONS
Those practicing meditation will benefit most by meditating on the following symbols of the New and Full moons.
FULL MOON SYMBOL (8/2/12):
An artist away from the world receives a new inspiration.
This symbol has to do with creative power that is expressed in social environments. It is the power of creativity that changes the world. This can be the power of one person that may lead to a complete change of the world. The Power of the Leo-Aquarius axis is the ability of one man to change the world. It is the ability of one small action to change the whole Universe.
