S: Some illuminating references to Sirius. Most of these you know I am sure but I quick glance over might be useful. I hope you enjoy these!
S: The system of the Sirian Logos is on the cosmic mental plane, and in a subtle way, incomprehensible to us, our Logos, with His system, forms a part of a still greater Logos. This does not involve loss of identity, though the matter is too abstruse to express more adequately.
M: I am assuming that the word "His" refers to the Sirian Logos, and that "our Logos" refers to Sol. I have often thought that I should learn how to read what, in grammar, are called *antecedents* (that to which a pronoun refers). If I misread antecedents, I can misunderstand an entire paragraph. This has happened more than once.
I wonder why the Tibetan says, "in a way incomprehensible to us". Well, maybe I do not wonder, after all. I just wonder *how* incomprehensible!
S: Each one of us, in due process of evolution, forms part of one of the Heavenly Men, Who Themselves form the [572] seven centers in that greater Heavenly Man, the Logos. Yet, though we are merged with the whole, we do not lose our identity, but forever remain separated units of consciousness, though one with all that lives or is. In like manner our Logos loses not His identity, even though He forms part of the Consciousness of the Logos of Sirius. In His turn, the Sirian Logos forms one of the seven Grand Heavenly Men, who are the centers in the body of ONE OF WHOM NOUGHT MAY BE SAID.
M: Another vital reference. I read the "Logos of Sirius" as the Logos of the Sirian *System*. Then, for me, the Sirian Logos manifests through at least seven Solar Logoi (of which the individual stars Sol and Sirius are examples), and it is this resultant *constellation* which is a center is the greater OAWNMBS.
Of course, all this could be read otherwise. Our solar Logos could simply be seen to be included in the consciousness of a great solar Logos manifested through the star Sirius. Since Heavenly Men are planetary logoi, Grand Heavenly Men would be simply, *solar* logoi. In such a case (according to my reading) "One of Whom Naught May Be Said" (would be a constellational logos, but not a super-constellational logos). I.e., this Great Existence would not be :*THE* "One About Whom Naught May Be Said" (level-2) but simply a constellational logos (level-1)--and, from my reading, the Logos of the SSSOWOIO.
I try to be very careful in these readings. For me *THE* "One About Whom Naught May Be Said" is not necessarily the same as "One About Whom Naught May Be Said" or "He of Whom Naught May Be Said".
I think such terms are relatively generic, and act as blinds for ascending orders of Beings Whose place and nature must (in detail, at least) remain mysterious and obscure--in order to protect the Teaching.
S: The Intermediate Law of Karma. - There is also an intermediate law, which is the synthetic law of the system [570] of Sirius. This law is called by the generic term, the Law of Karma, and really predicates the effect the Sirian system has on our solar system.
M: In this case, it appears that the term Sirian System refers to the solar system built up around the *star* Sirius (including Sirius B). Could Sirius B be a disintegrating Cosmic Moon of this great star. Apparently, Sol also has such a Cosmic Moon, and Saturn is the inheritor of its energy.
S: Each of the two systems, as regards its internal economy, is independent in time and space, or (in other words), in manifestation. We have practically no effect on our parent system, the reflex action is so slight as to be negligible, but very definite effects are felt in our system through causes arising in Sirius.
M: "Parent" system? An interesting word. I could see a sevenfold constellation being called a "parent", but as for another star? Well. Perhaps the word "parent" is being used figuratively, to express the idea that the Logos manifesting through the star Sirius is simply much more advanced than ours.
M: Incidentally, you see Sol as a heart and Sirius as an ajna. Definitely, the ajna is a higher, more-petalled lotus. The proportion of petals is 96/12 or 8/1. Interesting that Sirius is 8 lys from Sol. (DK made much of the need to maintain "relative distances" within constellations.
I would like us to check out the magnitudes and spectral types and colors of the major stars neighboring our Sun, Sol. I think there would be much revelation. I am sure that Procyon (Lesser Dog) is involved. The relationship between Procyon and Sirius would, I think, be significant within the SSSOWOIO.
I had always thought that Sirius/Sol=Venus/Earth. I believe there is value in this equation. But we, Earth, do have quite an effect upon Venus; Sol, on the other hand, seems (in defiance of the analogy) *not* to have such an effect.
S: The system of the Sirian Logos is on the cosmic mental plane, and in a subtle way, incomprehensible to us, our Logos, with His system, forms a part of a still greater Logos.
M: According to my best ‘guestimate’, this "still greater Logos" is *not* the greater OAWNMBS Who has constellations for His chakras, but is the next order of logos *up*--namely, what I have called a *constellational logos* (re which, cf. TCF 293)
My brother, can you see why we have to straighten out this matter. It is fundamental to our respective views of greater cosmic structure.
S: This does not involve loss of identity, though the matter is too abstruse to express more adequately. It is in this analogy that the basic idea can be found of all teaching given out about the Grand Heavenly Man. The whole conception of these laws is bound up in this idea. We have the three laws of the cosmic higher planes, holding in a synthesis of beauty the greater and the lesser system. Next we have the great law of Sirius, the Law of Karma, on the third subplane of the cosmic mental plane, which law really controls our Logos, and His actions, in the same way as the ego - in due course of evolution - controls the human personality.
M: From this, it seems that the Sirian Law of Karma is somewhat *lower* than the Laws of Synthesis, Attraction and Economy. From other readings, I had found a way to think of this fourth law as higher and synthetic of the first three. I could see it either way.
I am looking at the words "cosmic higher planes" and thinking that this does not necessarily mean "higher cosmic planes". For instance, the Law of Economy could apply on the cosmic physical plane; the Law of Attraction on the cosmic astral plane, and the Law of Synthesis on the lower cosmic mental plane; then the Sirian Law (like a soul law to these three) would apply on the cosmic causal planes (higher mental).
It's a bit like Sanat Kumara--is He the Fourth Kumara, midway in status between the exoteric three and the esoteric three, or is He the Great Kumara, like the point within the center of a six-pointed star? I can see it both ways, but mostly, I think He is the Greatest of our Kumaras, and the others (the higher three) are simply "esoteric" because their time has not yet come.
S: We need to remember that, under the Law of Correspondences, we shall have a relationship in the Cosmos, similar to that existing in the microcosm between the ego and the personality. The suggestion holds much that we might consider with benefit. We must not, however, carry the analogy too far; as we have not yet evolved to where we have planetary consciousness, still less systemic, how can we really expect even to conceive of the A B C of cosmic truth? Just broad hints, wide conceptions, and generalities, are as yet possible. Of one thing we can be sure, and that is that identity ever remains.
M: At least *within* Cosmos, I would agree. 'Within' the Universal Pralaya, infinitudinous limited identities are dissolved within the ONE IDENTITY, or so I see it.
S: An value of Sirius = 95 . Number of stars in Leo according to AAB.
M: I have looked for this reference and cannot find it. Is it in Labors of Hercules, or where? If true, very interesting. Like the number 28, signifying the number of stars in Capricorn.
S "As we are upon the subject, one other point might be touched upon here. August, which is ruled by Leo, is the month of the Dog-star, or of Sirius, which thus brings Sirius into close relation to Leo. Leo, in the cosmic sense (and apart from our solar system altogether) is ruled by Sirius.
M: The word "ruled" must be understood. If "ruled" means *dominated*, then a Sirian System of at least seven stars would be necessary, otherwise, again, the tail is wagging the Lion.
BUT, if the word "ruled" is used as it is in astrology--Mars rules Aries, Venus rules Taurus, then, strangely, Sirius is the *lesser Entity* involved, just as Mars is lesser than Aries, etc.
We have Sirius--Leo--Jupiter. which sequence makes us think that Sirius dominates.
I do not think a single star (the star Sirius) can dominate an entire constellation, but I think a single star can transmit (i.e., rule) that constellation. What do you think?
S: Sirius is the home of that greater Lodge to which our fifth initiation admits a man and to which it brings him, as a humble disciple. Later, when the new world religion is founded and is working, we shall find that the major, monthly festival in August, held at the time of the full moon, will be dedicated to the task of making contact, via the Hierarchy, with Sirian force. Each of the months of the year will later be dedicated (through accurate astrological and astronomical knowledge) to whichever constellation in the heavens governs a particular month, as Sirius governs Leo. This I shall later elaborate in the papers to be written anent the new "Approaches" to spiritual reality.
M: Does Mars "govern" Aries; does Venus "govern" Taurus. Perhaps, if we use the word "govern" like a "governor" on a car--limiting the expression of speed. A "governor" is thus a limiter.
So much attention needs to be paid to the use of the terms "rule" and "govern" in such stellar contexts.
If "govern" means "dominate", that can only be done by a greater constellation with respect to a lesser. Let us check the stars in Leo relative to those in the proposed Sirian System. Which are more luminous and radiant? Am I correct in thinking that the Leonian stars (including Regulus and Denebola, are?) I think so, but will confirm.
However, a problem would be presented, as the proposed Sirian System of seven would be part of the higher Zodiac of Ten, whereas Leo is a member of the lesser Zodiac of Twelve.
S: "The influences of Sirius, three in number, are focused in Regulus, which is, as you know, a star of the first magnitude and which is frequently called "the heart of the Lion."
Ran value = 5 Key or root prefix number of second Ray.
M: What has a RAN value of 5? Regulus is 103 or 4.
With this focusing of Sirius within Regulus, we seem to have a relation between two solar logoi. The Blue Lodge on Sirius is threefold, and as I recall there are three different kinds of Beings on Sirius. Then, we presume, that Regulus is the transmitter of these three energies?
Here, Sirius seems the source of transmission and Regulus the receiver.
S:{IHS190}
S: 6. The Path the Logos Himself Is On - The Path of training of Solar Logoi - the Path of S.K. Hence, I believe the raison d'etre for Rays I, II & III in his Ray chart! (but that is another matter) This statement by DK also, once again, confirms that Sirius and our sun revolve around the same cosmic centre, regardless of their separate and or inter-dependent relations!
M: Yes, it certainly seems to me that they revolve around the same center. The question is: together (at relatively the same speed) or separately.
S: "Gradually, by dint of hard effort, certain Masters have qualified themselves, or are qualifying themselves, to take the place of the original members of the group, permitting of their return to a cosmic center around which our system, and the greater system of Sirius revolve." (IHS 190)
M: This return will take a *long time*. Many Paths lead to the Pleiades.
M: Thus, there are no questions about this shared revolution. Of course, it must be the Pleiades, since we are given that our system does so.
Since the above quotation is taken from a section of IHS in which the Path of the Solar Logos is involved, then, again, that center must be the Pleiades. That our solar Logos is on the Solar Path (whose destination is the cosmic buddhic plane) and since the Pleiades are a major source of cosmic buddhi (with the Dragon--TCF 1162), then our solar system must be preparing for some kind of absorption into the Pleiades (considering them in their *second* aspect expression and not their *third*.
When I think of the Pleiades as a Source of Cosmic Buddhi, I think again about the possibility of the OAWNMBS as an essentially *second ray* Entity. Of course, the term "ray" would have to be understood in a still more cosmic sense than as an emanation of a star within the Great Bear.
But, I think we have both decided that the rays are far more *universal* qualities, than qualities having to do simply with a one constellation (as exalted as the Great Bear may be).
S: (R&I 414)
A very heavy quote the implications of which are staggering:
"This great Sun (Sirius) which is to our solar Logos what the Monad is to the spiritual man, has a peculiar part to play where our Earth is concerned." {WOW!}
M: If Sirius is a member of the SSSOWOIO, it is *leading* member of this constellation--in fact, I would say, the *head center* of this constellation, in which our sun, Sol, plays the role of *heart center".
But as for "Monad"--well, it is hard to think of the "great Sun" as a Monad. I could think of an entire sevenfold Sirian System Logos as a kind of Monad to our solar system, but calling one solar logos (Sirius) a Monad to another (our solar logos, Sol) is a stretch--for me.
S: But, then, next, duly note this statement. Is it not contradictory at face value or are the three superior constellations the three aspects of the Logoic Monad? How can the Great Bear and Sirius both correspond to the Monad of our solar Logos?
The energies coming from the Great Bear are related to the will or purpose of the solar Logos and are to this great Being what the monad is to man. This is a deep mystery and one which even the highest initiate cannot yet grasp. Its sevenfold unified energies pass through Shamballa.
M: In such analogies I think we are dealing with ranges of consciousness and power, but *not* with *literal functions*. Perhaps a Chohan on the second ray is *like* my Monad--i.e. He has monadic awareness and expresses a high degree of monadic power; BUT, He is not *literally* my Monad. (Except, of course, that there is only One Monad in all the Universe!)
M: Yes, so indeed you have a point. you have a point. The Monad is threefold (Will, Wisdom and Activity). Perhaps, these great Beings, already possess *certain aspects* of the monadic consciousness which the solar Logos will also one day achieve, when it has reached Their spiritual elevation.
Also, on a related matter, around every Hierarch, are the Supernal Three (as indicated on the chart, TCF, 1238) I wonder: if within our solar system there are three Beings Who each require for their manifestation three planetary schemes, are there three great Beings (surrounding the OAWNMBS) Who each require three *constellations* for Their proper manifestation.
We remember from EP II, 99, that some non-sacred planets are included in this manifestation--Earth, Mars, Saturn; Venus, Jupiter, Uranus; probably Vulcan and Pluto are part of the expression of the third Being, presumably on the first ray. THEN, since non-sacred planets are included in such a manifestation solar systemically, Non-sacred constellations (constellations which are not specifically major centers within the OAWNMBS) could be included in the manifestation of the analogy to on the Super-Constellational level, to the three systemic Beings. And, we have many worthy non-sacred constellations to choose from, just as there are many additional planets in our solar system. Probably, all the constellations we know very much about, are part of the manifestation of the OAWNMBS--just that they are not the 7 or 10 most *sacred* constellations.
It seems to me that the GB, Sirius and the Pleiades, all distribute different aspects of the seven rays, and perhaps emphasize different aspects of the general monadic awareness and power.
But what does it really mean to be a monad or a soul to another being? Each being IS its own Monad or Soul. The analogy, thus expresses difference in power and scope, but it cannot be taken entirely literally. No greater Being (which has and is its own Monad) IS my Monad too. But--it may be *like* my Monad, or like I will be when I am as monadically conscious or powerful as it is now.
S: But then, we have another apparent contra-diction do we not?
"The consciousness of the cosmic mental plane is the goal of attainment for our solar Logos and the Sirian Logos is to our solar Logos what the human Ego (or soul) is to the human personality." (C.F. 592)
M: Well, let us say that Sirius has achieved cosmic Egoic consciousness, and the solar Logos is still conscious only within His personality. But the Sirian Logos is *not* the soul of the Solar Logos, just as Venus is *not* the soul of the Earth (though it has the kind of consciousness which the Earth Logos will have when the Earth Logos is soul conscious.)
Am I making myself clear? I think these analogies are indicative of widely differing levels of polarization and power between the Lords of the Three Great Constellations, and the Lord of our Solar System. Such differences can be described by comparing the power and consciousness of the Monad to the power and consciousness of the personality. (Or similarly, comparing the soul to the personality).
Further, the Monad has three different aspects. And just as the three Great Constellations transmit differing aspects of the same seven rays, so they may express differing types of Monadic Consciousness and Power.
But since the highest initiates cannot really solve this analogy, I am just playing at a solution. I am simply trying to make DK's statements more comprehensible to myself. One thing, however, that I think I do know: "I am my own Monad." (Always have been and always will be). Further, "'My Monad" is identical, fundamentally, with 'your' Monad". Thus the mystery.
S: (LOM) Letter I: alignment of Ego with the personality:
Further still the alignment may be progressed: - in the alignment of our entire solar system with the system of Sirius lies a still more remote goal. It is a point far ahead in time, but holds hid the secret of the greater cycle.
M: For me, this is the alignment of the heart with the head. Something of Sirius-Leo-Jupiter, and Sol-Leo-Jupiter is involved
S: and from the same letter:
This morning, I would touch on the matter of egoic alignment again, showing you, under the Law of Correspondences, the universal application. It lies based in geometry, or in figures and numbers.
Again, another quote confirming that no matter how inter-related our solar system is a separate system:
This, therefore, sweeps into close interaction three great systems:
The system of Sirius. [TCF685]
The system of the Pleiades.
The system of which our sun is the focal point.
making, as we will have noted, a cosmic triangle.
M: In this alignment, I could easily see a tri-stellar connection between Sol-Sirius and Alcyone. Sirius (1), Sol (2), Alcyone (3). However, is not Alcyone far greater in luminosity than either of these?
S: Next, a nice ambiguous statement from TCF by DK:
"This particular group of devas emanate from a great force center which we generalize by calling it by the name of the sun Sirius."
M: This kind of quote points in the direction of what we could call the Sirian System. The blinding method is to use the name of *one* to indicate a *many*. Or to use the name of a *lesser one* to indicate a *greater one*.
S: From AAB in the Labour of Hercules:
"In Canis Major we find Sirius, the Dog Star, called in many old books "the leader of the entire heavenly host", for it is ten or twelve times brighter than any other star of the first magnitude.
M: We must remember that the kind of magnitude here discussed is definitely "visual magnitude". If it were "absolute magnitude" Sirius would certainly *not* be the brightest. Canopus and Sirius are relatively similar in visual magnitude, but Sirius blazes with 23-27 solar luminosities, and Canopus with about 40,000!
S: Sirius has always been associated with great heat, hence we have the phrase of "the dog days" in the middle of the summer, when the heat is supposed to be greatest. From the standpoint of the occultist, Sirius is of profound significance. "Our God is a consuming fire", and Sirius is the symbol of the universal soul as well as of the individual soul.
M: Just as Venus is the symbol of the soul.
S: It is therefore, esoterically considered, the star of initiation. In the language of symbology we are told, there comes a moment when a star blazes forth before the initiate, signifying his realization of his identity with the universal soul, and this he suddenly glimpses through the medium of his own soul, his own star."
M: Sirius is not consciously registered until the third initiation, when the star blazes forth. At the third degree Mars/Saturn, Venus/Mercury, and Vulcan/Sun represent the three aspects coming together. Behind these three are also the Pleiades, Sirius and the Great Bear. A little thought will show how the planets mentioned correlate with the three great constellations.
S: In the zodiac of Denderah, this star is called Apes, the head. We are told (in the appendix, p. 1518, of the Companion Bible) that the brightest star in Canis Major is Sirius, the Prince, called in Persian, the Chieftain. There are three other stars in the same constellation: one is called "the announcer", another the "shining one," and the third, "the glorious", all of them phrases emphasizing the magnificence of Canis Major and, esoterically, the wonder and the glory of the higher self.
M: These other stars, as I recall, are between 2000 and 3000 lys away, and yet are quite visible. How powerful in *absolute magnitude* they must be; but Sirius' effect upon us is much greater because (though smaller and less powerful than its companions) it is so very much closer---to us.
BTW, all this about the Prince, or Chieftain signals to me the R1 function of Sirius with respect to our Sol. We know how very R1 are the Karmic Lords, and the Karmic Lords most concerned with our solar system, are from Sirius.
S: In Canis Minor, the "underdog", the same writing tells us that the name of the brightest star signifies, "redeemer", that the next brightest is "the burden bearer" or "the one who bears for others". We have, therefore, in the significance of these two names, a portrayal of Hercules, as he works out his own salvation and as he bears the great burden of Atlas and learns the meaning of service.
"This is the great star of initiation because our Hierarchy (an expression of the second aspect of divinity) is under the supervision or spiritual magnetic control of the Hierarchy of Sirius. These are the major controlling influences whereby the cosmic Christ works upon the Christ principle in the solar system, in the planet, in man and in the lower forms of life expression. It is esoterically called the "brilliant star of sensitivity." (EA198)
M: This title for me, "brilliant star of sensitivity", suggests the second, sixth and fifth rays.
S: "the great White Lodge on [EA350] Sirius is the spiritual prototype of the great White Lodge on Earth"
Behind these concepts of the relation existing in time and space between the constellations of the Great Bear, the Pleiades and the sun, Sirius, and our solar system, there exists, it must be remembered, an immense series of interlocking triangles between the stars which compose these constellations interiorly and our solar system. You have, therefore, a relationship between:
The seven stars, composing the Great Bear.
The seven stars, composing the Pleiades, sometimes called the seven "sisters" or "wives" of the Rishis or informing Lives of the Great Bear.
The sun, Sirius.
M: I think we do not have 7+7+1, but 7+7+7 making 21, plus the totality making 22.
S: These compose major triangles of force and all are held within the radius of the Life of that Great Being Whose expressed, manifested intention is brought into being through the medium of these three related groups and our solar system. As hinted by me in A Treatise on Cosmic Fire, these four groups of stars constitute the manifested aspect or personality of a great and unknown Life.
M: One wonders, "why *these* four?". Certainly, other constellations are also part of the manifested aspect or personality. I must ponder this.
Here, Sirius is seen as distinct from our Sun, just as it is on EA 50, where the Sirian Energy expressed through Cancer, Capricorn and Saturn, is given as distinct from the SSSOWOIO expressed through Taurus, Scorpio and Mars.
The big question remains (as heretofore stated): is Sirius or is it not part of the SSSOWOIO?
S: They relate to the three centers above referred to and in their wider connotation relate to the three planetary centers: Humanity, Hierarchy and Shamballa; further back still lies a relation to the cosmic centers of the Great Bear, Sirius and [435] the Pleiades.
The Logos of a solar system is esoterically called the "Sacred Triangle of all-inclusive Force" because this great Being includes within His focused awareness the fields of expression of the Great Bear, the Pleiades and Sirius. They are to Him what the heart, the head and the throat centers are to the developed initiate on this planet.
M: Here, I think of the heart, head and throat as relating to the three aspects of the Spiritual Triad. Note that nothing is to be learned by the order of the words "heart, head and throat".
S: "These three groups of solar bodies (The Great Bear, the Pleiades and Sirius) are of paramount influence where the spiral cyclic activity of our system is concerned. Just as in the human atom, the spiral activity is egoic and controlled from the egoic body, so in connection with the solar system these three groups are related to the Logoic Spiritual Triad - atma-buddhi-manas - and their influence is dominant in connection with solar incarnation, with solar evolution and with solar progress." (C.F. 1058) [642
M: OK, I see that I anticipated this quote--yes, they are related to the Spiritual Triad. In this case, Great Bear is Atmic (cf. TCF 1162), Pleiades is Buddhi and Sirius is Manasic.
S: A Treatise on Cosmic Fire - Section Two - Division F - The Law of Attraction
It must be remembered that the possible cosmic streams of energy available for use in our solar system are seven in number, of which three are major. These three vary during vast and incalculable cycles.
M: He is warning us not to calculate such cycles, right?
S: EPI Q&A
One of the names given to the Lord of the fifth Ray
The Brother from Sirius
From R&I part II intro remarks:
These ancient Mysteries were originally given to humanity by the Hierarchy, and were - in their turn - received [331] by the Hierarchy from the Great White Lodge on Sirius. They contain the clue to the evolutionary process, hidden in numbers and in words; they veil the secret of man's origin and destiny, picturing for him in rite and ritual the long, long path which he must tread.
The first of the cosmic laws is the Law of Synthesis. It is almost impossible for those of us who have not the buddhic faculty in any way developed, to comprehend the scope of this law. It is the law that demonstrates the fact that all things - abstract and concrete - exist as one; it is the law governing the thought form of that One of the cosmic Logoi [568] in Whose consciousness both our system, and our greater center, have a part.
M: Yes, here a Cosmic Logos is a very exalted Being. I presume that "our greater center" is Sirius. The Cosmic Logos, here referenced, could be a Constellational Logos or a Super-Constellational Logos.
S: Statement which confirms independence in time and space (TCF 570):
The Intermediate Law of Karma. - There is also an intermediate law, which is the synthetic law of the system [570] of Sirius. This law is called by the generic term, the Law of Karma, and really predicates the effect the Sirian system has on our solar system. Each of the two systems, as regards its internal economy, is independent in time and space, or (in other words), in manifestation. We have practically no effect on our parent system, the reflex action is so slight as to be negligible, but very definite effects are felt in our system through causes arising in Sirius. These causes, when experienced as effects, are called by us the Law of Karma, and at the beginning they started systemic Karma which, once in effect, constitutes that which is called Karma in our occult and oriental literature.
M: OK, brother, these quotes are profound, and often, apparently contradictory, or at least *blinding*. Yes, I am blinded.
It is so hard to know when He is speaking of
1) that which pertains strongly to our solar system;
or 2) that which pertain strongly to the larger system, thus offsetting the particular relations emphasized in relation to our solar system.
Just as our astrology is largely "geocentric", so our thought (even our large and comprehensive thought) has hardly freed itself from being "solar-centric".
I am wrestling with the great importance of Sirius to us, and what I perceive to be its far lesser importance to the Great System of the OAWNMBS.
You know the old saying, "If you're so smart, why ain't you rich"
I tend to rephrase it in astronomical terms.
"If you're so great, why ain't you bright!"
Extremely bright to us, yes, but just check our the absolute magnitude of Sirius compared with certain other familiar stars, and I think you will be astounded. If we could only understand the implications of the relativism with which we are presented!
We talk about these great systems and even greater systems, but the *experience* of an encounter with even a little planetary Logos, would blow us away instantly. So, we are preparing the map, however--the experiential component is another matter, and certainly of profound value. This approach to the experience of the entities and Entities we are discussing produces, first of all, great humility.
>>
Brother, I am exhausted. There are still many letters to respond to. I know you said we had a reprieve, but then you stayed up to 3:15 AM flooding me with more.
I will take a brief nap now, and see if I have anything more in me for our purposes.
In the Growing Light--
M
