Freedom by Sharon Lyon

The Aquarian Christ is the embodiment of Freedom & the Messenger of Liberation. In this Aquarian Age the realisation of the underlying Unity of mankind is being stimulated through His spiritual energy as an attractive force, blending & binding man together toward a unified & greater common good. The illusion of seperation is being steadily pierced. As the true nature of our being is revealed & expressed through us, our increasing relationship & identification with the One Life, liberates us.

As Ashramic workers in Service of the Aquarian Christ, Hierarchial intent IS to increase Man's capacity for Freedom. Alignment with this goal means that we undergo the 'liberating' process within our own being, through our 'work', in our group processes & through all our relationships & interations everyday. Aided by the Love of the Christ & through His Ministry, our capacity to embrace Freedom like never before is heightened. "Life & life more abundantly" is the Will & the promise of the "Aquarian" Christ to humanity.

"In the service of the Christ and with through our conscious alignment to incoming Aquarian influences, our spiritual 'edge' increasingly merges with & is renewed by, this Light & Freedom Principle. Key to the journey is a spirit of SURRENDER. The battle lines of the 'little self', rage, protect & defend the so-called personal will, until the realisation .."I of my own self can do nothing.' Free me from my self, becomes not just a nice idea, not just a 'call' .. but a plea.

"Thy Will not my will Father" ....

In the surrender of our grimy rags, is anything lost? No .... but a Kingdom is gained.

"The intent of the Hierarchy is to increase men's capacity for freedom in order to function effectively with that "life more abundantly" which the Christ will bring and which demands that the spirit of man be free - free to approach divinity and free also to choose the Way of that approach."

"He also instituted the new rules for disciples which permit a much greater freedom to the individual disciple than do the rules so well known in the past. No obedience is today exacted. The disciple is regarded as an intelligent agent and is left free to fulfil the requirements as he sees best."

What intensifying should we expect under the influence of the 'Aquarian Christ' Energy, as It sounds Its 'note.'

It will be more challenging to.... retain seperative thoughts, to hate, to maintain personal power & still be seen as healthy, to fortify the personality's domain, to believe illusion is real, to maintain a seperative wall against the the force of Shamballic Will - rythmically striking, to bury the truth of your identity & that of your brother, to not surrender to Higher Will, to not Love, to not see, to stay in bondage, to not be free, to believe you are alone, to believe you are seperate from the Father, to shrink from destiny, to not find the Path to God, to not find peace & revel in joy.

It will become easier to ... work towards the liberation of all humanity from darkness & ignorance, to Love one another, to see the Christ Light in each person, to know the gift of brotherhood, to cooperate, to share, to unite, to awake, to partake of the covenant & end suffering, to know the value of a true friend & brother in Christ, to sing, to know victory, to know God in each other & exalt Him, to know freedom, to formulate a universal platform, to build the Temple.

Astrologically, the decentralisation of the personal will ( Leo) to Selfless Service in Aquarius ("Father, Not My Will but Thy Will be done" ), constitutes how much of the imediate Freedom equation ?

The Leo experience included the necessity for developing & holding onto personal will. The weight of one's personal will could be thrown behind a cause, a kingdom, a desire, a relationship, a project. In the new model there is nothing 'outwardly' to serve. Service is selflessly offered into the subjective life & reality of the Aquarian center. Personal will is 'increasingly' surrendered & through this process ... a new way forward is found, a new way of being is revealed, that serves the highest & the many.

When one is 'touched' by the Christ who waits in the heart, decentralisation occurs followed by an absorption process as the magnetic pull of a 'new center'... reorientates one toward Hierarchy & the ashram.

Developmentally the Plan is sensed & creative work in line with Hierarchial activity begins.

In the perfected Leo ( nature).....uranus controls and proceeds to make its ideal objective (Neptune) a fact in consciousness, through sensitivity to the higher vibration and directed intelligent service of the Plan.

It will, when followed, lead the self-centered Leo consciousness into the decentralized, selfless Aquarian awareness. It will alter the self-service of Leo into the group service of its polar opposite, Aquarius. The prayer or voiced aspiration of the true ( surrendered Leo aspect ) .... can be expressed in the words of Christ, "Father, not my will but thine be done."

The process entails periodic crisis whereby 'once again,' we fall humbly to our knees & ask that God 'frees us' from the burden of maintaining our sense of what 'we think' about anything. Holding on to personal will-ful-ness, past a certain point, creates not only destruction in one's own system but destroys the sometimes tentative new shoots of the more 'group centered' Aquarian process.

Leo - Ruler: The Sun, veiling Uranus, the planet of occultism, and that which governs group relations, organizations and the eleventh House.

It relates the Leo influence to Aquarius.

I Am - the Word of the self-conscious, selfish, individual Leo.
I Am That - the Word of the Leo subject who is rapidly gaining the higher consciousness and preparing for fresh and universal expression in Aquarius

Acknowledgement must be given to the challenge we face to 'relinquish' control of our lives. The truth is in fact that we have never actually had any control over our lives, we just thought we did! In the process of developing Leo self awareness, self-consciousness, we played at creating or manipulating outer events & people through our personal will. This lower reflection in the personality is surrendered to Higher Will.

I can do it myself God, gives way to .... dont let me do it myself God!

Part of the learning, even over this probe & full moon build-up has been that no matter how lofty or wise or advanced, or even not wise a fellow co-workers perspective seems to be, the Aquarian process is NOT about any single person's view or vision or perspective.....its not about any of them! Wisdom comes in the surrender of ALL personal perspectives & standing at times in, NOT KNOWING.

Many times different 'perspectives' come out of residue personality control, and are mainly fear based.

One good indicator of the truth IS that YOU didnt think of it!

What IS more important than being 'right' in mind, is being ONE in the HEART.

UNLESS the forward movement is characterised by and an expression & demonstration of the truth of our UNDERLYING UNITY, what is it worth?

The outpicturing should be a demonstration of brotherly love, service & compassion.

The mysteries are really just facts of Universal recognition. One of them is the fact about our relationship with one another. True Aquarian Light reveals to us the ever present reality of ONE-NESS.

The Aquarian Christ bridges duality wherever & on whatever level it is found. The dual note becomes the ONE note.

One Life & One Love 'join' as these two great streams of force become 'one' blended reality, within our own being.

The signs of the Aquarian Christ at work in the world will be part of the emergent revelation of the fact of our completed ONENESS in CHRIST

The truth of this subjective reality is one which the Christ is the symbol of, as well as the exponent.

The creative activity of the Christ spirit works through us.... liberating us through Its PRESENCE in our lives.

Christ expressed in Himself the truth of His relationship with the Father and with us.... " I & the Father are One & you are One with Me."

He himself WAS the Truth embodied .... and it is this same embodied, demonstrated Truth, that will set us free!

The Christ

....

He is the Teacher within all those

who speak the word of truth,

the word about the endless Path,

the word about the infinite Life ..

He is still teaching.

He is the synthesis of all Laws,

and those who reveal the laws in any

department of life, are revealing Him.

Truly,

every science,

and any branch of honest search

is the search for Christ.

He is the reality back of everything.

Every true searcher

is revealing a part of Him.

At the end ..His picture will be complete

when people are like Him.

..

He is the Plan and the vision for Humanity.

The inner communication...

the light of saints,

the life of disciples,

the arrow flying to the Sun.

He is the Silent Watcher

within our souls.

Nothing can be hidden from Him.

He is the witness of every act,

every feeling, of every thought.

But above all, He is the great builder,

the builder of bridges,

bridges in man himself,

bridges between man and man,

between groups, churches and nations...

between humanity and the Kingdom of God..

between the Kingdom of God and the Absolute..

until He becomes All in All.

He is the bridge Himself between all that appears apart..

This is His great labour.

He is the Joy of the Labour of achievement.

He is the wine in the chalice,

the Joy which is tasted by everyone

who comes in contact with his true Self...Christ.

( Saraydarian - Signs of Christ)

What practically, as world servers, constitutes greater alignment with the 'Freedom Principle' within our own being?

Selfless Service... freedom from personal self interest, surrender, not knowing, recognition of the Presence of Christ in us & in our relationships, group consciousness, no personal claims or attachments to outcome, heed to dynamic ashramic impulse & its ever moving purpose, increasing trust in one's own alignment, increasing trust in the Higher Will for the good of All, increased relationship with subjective reality continuously, centering in causal reality, self forgetfulness, dedication, more Light, more Joy, creative spontaneous outpouring, a quality of presence, demonstrated unity, demonstrated service, to know the love of God & see it reflected in a brother.

It is by means of the 'touchstone' of relationships... 'with one another'..with our group, with Hierarchy, the Ashram... that the Light breaks, the Kingdom is seen & Christ is revealed.

The task..

The revelation of our underlying unity & at-onement.

This is not only the task of the Aquarian Christ, but the task of us all.

The imediate emphasis is the demonstration of the fact of the Kingdom of God, the planetary Hierarchy.

" Who are its members?

We, humanity, are the the citizens of that Kingdom.

The universality of the Kingdom, IS synthesis, IS Unity in action.

Our demonstration as members of 'the Kingdom,' sees other members as Christ does.

Through His eyes all are seen as One.

"It is essential that servers everywhere ...get a grasp, fresh and clear, of the work to be done and that they become "relaying channels and not delaying points of selfish interest" in the divine flow. This takes vision and courage. It takes courage to adjust their lives - daily and in all relations - to the need of the hour and to the service of mankind; it takes courage to attack life problems on behalf of others and to obliterate one's own personal wishes in the emergency and need, and to do so consistently and persistently. Humanity has now reached a point in development where there is a definite grasp of the Plan of the Hierarchy - call it brotherhood, sharing, internationalism, unity or what you will. " Telepathy and the Etheric Vehicle - The Planetary Life - A Center in the Solar System

Master Morya says:

" The ancients began the teaching by laying their hands upon the heart. Whereupon the Teacher asked, "Dost thou hear?"

'I hear' answered the pupil.

"This is the beating of thy heart, but it is only the first rap upon the gates of the Great Heart. If thou dost not heed the beat of thy heart, then shall the beat of the Great Heart stun thee."

( Heart p.460)
