A service project of
The School of Ageless Wisdom
Cycles is a monthly publication of The School of Ageless Wisdom. The members of the School are experimenting with rejoining
astrology and astronomy. The experiment is called Astrochemistry
and involves astronomical calculation to determine cyclic energy
patterns and the works of the Masters D.K., M., and R. as aids in
determining the meaning and significance of these cycles. This
information is intended to be useful in daily life.
Disciple/Initiate: Cancer – The Whole is Seen as One.
Cancer is one point of the watery triplicity, and the symbolism which underlies
the three water signs is most interesting
in one particular direction. You have, as
you know, the Crab, the Scorpion and
the Fish Goddesses of the sign Pisces.
In ancient Lemuria, the symbol of Pisces
was a woman with the tail of a fish, and
of this symbol the legendary mermaid
is the memory. It was only in late Atlantean times (when the conscious sense
of duality was becoming present in the
minds of the advanced humanity of the
period) that the woman part of the symbol was dropped altogether and the two
linked fishes took the place of the fish
Goddesses. You have, therefore, the
Crab, the Scorpion with the sting in its
tail and the Fish. The slow moving Crab,
identified with its dwelling place and carrying its house upon its back, lives upon
the land (physical plane life) and also

d
in the sea (the life of the emotions); the
Scorpion is rapid in movement, deadly
in its effect upon men around it and is a
creature of the land; it is also the symbol
of the transformed Crab and the result of
the evolutionary process, and indicates
the dangerous nature of the man who is
not transformed and is therefore harmful
and hurtful to others; the Fishes indicate
the man from whom the symbol of materiality has been taken by the removal
of half of the original symbol, thus indicating freedom from matter. The three
water signs give us, therefore, a brief
and symbolic history of man’s growth
and true personality development. It is
a picture of the law of cause and effect.
These thoughts you can elaborate for
yourself and thus arrive at the evident
implications.

between five signs which are deeply
esoteric in their nature and their effects
when swept into this particular interplay.
They are only called into activity during
the return half of the wheel of life or the
“wheel of living action or of conscious
undertaking” as it is called in the Old
Commentary. This name is given to
the wheel as it turns anti-clockwise from
Aries to Pisces via Taurus. This fivefold
relationship is only established upon
the Path of Discipleship and is brought
about by the esoteric linking of CancerVirgo-Scorpio-Capricorn-Pisces. In
the future horoscopes of disciples, this
significant interplay of forces will be
recognised as dominating the chart at a
particular and peculiar stage of discipleship. In this case, disciples will be born
in one or other of these signs or with one
of other of these signs rising.
You have two signs of water and earth
(Cancer and Virgo) in the stage of subconscious emphasis wherein everything
is latent and hidden. Human consciousness is only embryonic in Cancer, for it
is the mass mind which dominates and
not the individual mind. In Virgo, the
Christ life or consciousness is hidden
and the Christ Child is as yet embryonic in the womb of matter and of time,
and during this stage, the emphasis is
upon the form which veils and hides the
reality. The human soul and the divine
soul (the essential duality) are there but
their presence is not easily detected.
In Scorpio comes a point of transition,
of change and of re-orientation. That
which has been hitherto hidden appears
and is brought to the surface by means
of the experience, the tests, the trials
and the “sting of life.” In Capricorn—as
a result of the effects of the influences
of Cancer, Virgo and Scorpio—the disciple begins to demonstrate the capacity
to express the life of two kingdoms, at
least in some measure, and is a developed human being and also a citizen
of the kingdom of God. Therefore, for
an initiate and for a period of three incarnations, the four signs of revelation
(Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio and Capricorn)
intensify their effect upon him, until in the
fourth incarnation he begins to respond
to the inner influence of Pisces. He
thus demonstrates his ability to react to
the Shamballa influence and, when this
influence is established, he goes out
to salvage and to save. He acts con-
sciously as a world mediator. Therefore,
it might be stated that:
1. In Cancer, the influence of the human
Hierarchy begins to make its presence felt and to include the dualism of
man. This emerges clearly in Virgo.
Soul and body are closely related
and knit together in one form. Man
is a conscious personality, and this
is a result of the Cancer experience,
consummated in Virgo.
Such is the way of humanity.
The human centre is active.
2. In Scorpio, the influence of the occult
Hierarchy begins to set its seal on the
human being, and his essential duality
is put to the test. This is preparatory
to a new and higher unity. He is at
the miserable stage of being neither
the soul nor the form—the stage of
transition.
Such is the way of the disciple.
The hierarchical centre is affecting
him powerfully.
3. In Pisces, the influence of Shamballa claims the initiate as its field of
activity and the dualism of soul and
spirit emerges instead of that of soul
and body which has hitherto been of
major importance. The power of the
form to hold the soul in captivity has
been negated and tests and trials of
the initiate up to the third initiation are
directed to this end.
Such is the way of the initiate.
You will note the interesting fact that
you have here nine signs which carry a
man from the stage of imprisonment in
form to the freedom of the kingdom of
God, from the state of embryonic consciousness to the full flower of divine
knowledge, from the condition of human
awareness to the conscious wisdom
of the initiated disciple. These nine
signs are strictly expressive of human
unfoldment—conscious and superconscious, though beginning with the mass
awareness of Cancer. There are three
signs, preceding these, which provide
the subtle or subjective realities of the
will-to-be (Aries), the desire-to-know
(Taurus) and the establishment of relationship (Gemini), and these constitute
the triple incentive to the manifestation
of man and of the human kingdom. They
correspond cosmically to the logoic, the
monadic and spiritual planes to which
the higher initiate has access or when
dealing with the entire concept on a
lower turn of the spiral and in connection with ordinary man, they correspond
to the mental, the astral and the etheric
vehicles of man. They are, therefore,
related to the highest and the lowest
expression of human life. I have in the
above ideas given you several hints of
vital importance. One of the symbols of
an initiate of a certain degree is that of
the five-pointed star with a triangle in the
centre; this is a reference to the energy
of the watery triangle with which we have
just been concerned and to the fivefold
linking which has been established in the
consciousness of the initiate.

(Began at Winter Solstice)
KEYNOTE FOR CANCER: “I BUILD
A LIGHTED HOUSE AND THEREIN
DWELL.”
From Esoteric Astrology, pg 409-411
“Briefly it might be said that the following cosmic and systemic causes are
responsible for the present world crisis
and the present difficult world situation:
1. A welling up of magnetic force on
Sirius, which produces effects upon
our solar system and particularly upon
our Earth, via the Hierarchy.
2. A shift in the Earth’s polarity, due to
the pull of a great cosmic center. This
powerfully affects the Earth’s orientation and is responsible for the present
earthquakes, and for the volcanic
eruptions and the many earthquakes
during the past one hundred and fifty
years.
confusion of forces in the solar system
is notably affecting our planet. In the
process of passing from sign to sign,
as for instance transiting out of Pisces
into Aquarius as is now the case, the
period covered is approximately five
hundred years.
These are points which astrologers
would do well to consider. I would remind
students again that when speaking of
signs I am referring to the influences
of the constellations as they are represented by the signs, calling to your
attention that in the great evolutionary
process and owing to certain shifts and
astronomical-astrological discrepancies, the Sun is not in the constellation
to which a particular sign refers at any
given moment. This I called to your attention in an earlier part of this treatise.
5. Another factor little known is that
the Moon today is disintegrating with
increasing rapidity and this necessarily affects the Earth and produces
terrestrial results.
Students would find it of interest to make
the following applications of these great
cyclic events to their own “appearance”
and functioning processes in time and
space:
1. The succession of the greater rounds
of the zodiac or a period of cycles of
approximately 250,000 years has a
correspondence to the life cycle of
the Monad.
2. The progress of the Sun as it passes
through the signs in the zodiac during
one of these 25,000 year cycles finds
its analogy in the life cycle of the ego
or soul.
3. The lesser zodiac covered - from
the angle of extreme illusion - in the
course of one year, corresponds to
the life of the personality.
In considering these points it should
always be remembered that great shifts
3. The great sweep of the sun around the
greater zodiac (a period of 250,000
years, or a complete round) came to
an end when the sun entered Pisces
over two thousand years ago. This
process of passing out of, or entering
into, a particular sign and cyclic influence covers a period of five thousand
years where this greater round or
cycle is concerned. This period of five
thousand years covers the complete
cycle of transition until complete freedom to function under the inspiration
of the new sign is completed. We are,
therefore, not yet free from incidental
turmoil.
4. The passing of our Sun out of the
sign Pisces into the sign Aquarius
is another of the conditions bringing
about the present confusion. This

in consciousness, or great expansions
of awareness, are followed inevitably
by upheaval in the outer forms. This
is true in the life of the solar Deity, of
a planetary Logos, of humanity as a
whole and of a man. Hence again today’s world problem. A major event such
as a change in the axis of the Earth is
related to an initiation of the planetary
Logos. Students can here note, therefore, the relation to the individual life as
it shifts its consciousness steadily in the
vital unfolding processes of the Path of
Discipleship and of Initiation. Earlier in
this treatise I referred to a fact which
must always be borne in mind and that
is that the great energies, playing upon
our planet, exert a hindering or a stimulating effect. They are either retarding
in their effects, producing concretion,
crystallization and a holding back or on
to that which is old and of the past, or
they stimulate and produce fluidity, en-
largement and expansion. The careful
student of human affairs will note this as
he studies the events which are today
passing before his eyes.
Speaking with a wide generalization,
it might be said that the three major
groups of forces affecting our planet
are zodiacal, systemic and planetary in
nature and - again generalizing - it might
also be said that:
1. Zodiacal energies pass through
Shamballa and are related to the first
Ray of Will or Power and affect the
Monad.
2. Systemic energies pass through
the Hierarchy and are related to the
second Ray of Love-Wisdom or (as
it is oft called in esoteric astrology)
the Ray of Attractive Coherency and
affect the soul.
3. Planetary forces impinge upon and
pass through humanity and are related to the third Ray of Active Intelligence and affect the personality.

Letters Of Helena Roerich II,
16 April 1936. 1. Not only are the
keys to many of the mysteries of
the zodiac lost but, properly speaking, also to almost all the mysteries of Existence. It is said in The
Secret Doctrine that in this work
the key was given one turn, but for
complete knowledge it needs to
be turned seven times. Yet judging
by the questions that some people
ask after they have read The Se-

as they appear in the sky. The straight line through
them represents the ecliptic, the apparent path
of the sun through the sky. Note that the signs
and the constellations do not match in time any
cret Doctrine, we may say that they
have not accomplished even the
first turn of the key. The knowledge
of all the seven keys is the knowledge of the Arhat. But even the second turn of the key already pertains
to esoteric knowledge and must be
discovered by the disciple himself.
Everything should be achieved independently, and if the intuition of a
disciple helps him to find the truth,
the Teacher must confirm it. Such is
the rule.

FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE — AND EVIDENCE . . .
By Gloria Crook
A very great number of axioms from
the Bible are known far and wide by
the general populace.
What is not generally known is that
these “axioms” are truly Divine Formulas for human procedures. Only
human beings can “hope.” No other
species holds such a faculty as “hope,”
OR the faculty of “faith.”
Have we examined the full meaning of
this? It is significant that the 7th Ray is
coming into Power at this time in the
transition from Piscean to Aquarian
Energy as the Foundational Energy
behind ALL expression on every plane
for the next 2500 years (give or take
the number of years during transition).
The 7th Ray is the Energy of Ceremonial Magic and Order. What is the definition of “Faith?” “Belief, confidence,
trust, certitude, reliance, assurance,
certainty, credence, and conviction.”
Each one of these words speaks to
an attitude of positivity — there is NO
doubt lurking in the shadows. “FAITH
IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS
HOPED FOR, and the evidence of
things unseen.” (Hebrews 11:1).
This Formula is definitely worth examining more closely. Hope is related to
what is not going on at the moment
and is “wished for” in the future. Take
“wish” out of the equation and put in
FAITH instead! Then, Hope is related
to what is not going on at the moment
but there is FAITH, belief, trust, certitude, reliance, assurance, certainty,
credence, and conviction it will go on
in the future.
“Hope” is always for a future condition. But, substance already exists
in relation to any “hope” IF there is
FAITH, belief, trust, certitude, reliance,
assurance, certainty, credence and
conviction.
This is not a mere possibility or probability — it is a certainty. It is like having FAITH the sun will come up in the
morning!
Faith is the substance
of things hoped for,
and the evidence of
things not seen.”
(Hebrews 11:1)
6
So, what is the actual difference between having “faith” the sun will come
up and “hoping” the sun will come up
in the morning? “Hope” means there
is a possibility it will not happen! There
is a smidgeon of doubt — we think it
might NOT happen! Of course we are
“out-Faithed” by the general populace
who have belief, confidence, trust, certitude, reliance, assurance, certainty,
credence, and conviction that the sun
WILL come up.
Usually, if we hope for something it
is not thought of as a certainty. It is
thought of as a mere possibility. It is
thought of as NOT happening as well
as happening! BUT, if we have FAITH
that what we “hope for” will happen,
we magnetize SUBSTANCE — It is a
DIVINE LAW!
This FORMULA is not empty words —
it is DIVINE LAW! One can hope and
have FAITH in some possibilities that
are unknown to others. For instance,
one can hope and have FAITH that
one will overcome a disease. The
SUBSTANCE is there; it is a FAITH,
belief, confidence, trust, certitude, reliance, assurance, certainty, credence
and conviction that one will overcome
the disease. It is a Divine Law and
magnetizes SUBSTANCE. The disease will be overcome.
“SUBSTANCE” is “whatever it takes”
on all levels. Remember that we
exist on the Cosmic Physical Plane,
therefore EVERYTHING on our seven
planes is SUBSTANCE. There is
nothing we can “hope for” that cannot
attract “SUBSTANCE” — IF there is
FAITH.
goodness of the Lord is more than one
can use for oneself). Surely, goodness
and mercy shall follow me all the days
of my life and I will dwell in the house
of the Lord—Forever!” This Divine
Formula, sounded daily, will keep
one in Association with the Hierarchy
and the Planetary Logos throughout
incarnation!
We could say, it is impossible to have
FAITH in something hoped for that
cannot attract the SUBSTANCE for
manifestation. Therefore, nothing impossible will be “hoped for” and Inspire
FAITH, belief, trust, certitude, reliance,
assurance, certainty, credence,and
conviction in SUBSTANCE.
Time is a factor in the manifestation
of the Law of Faith. Time is necessary
for the material to be attracted and for
hopes to be substantiated since all of
the planes are involved and have immeasurable magnetic avenues to follow which might not be instantaneous.
Another factor cannot be forgotten
regarding “Substance.” “Substance is
Evidence.” “Faith is the substance of
things hoped for and the evidence of
things not seen.” Faith is the “substance” and “proof” of things not seen
that we hope for. An Immutable Joy
accompanies the Realization of All
Divine Formulas and Providence.
OM OM OM
It might be considered that SUBSTANCE can be so certain, that no
Faith will attract it. This is in such
instances as Hoping that the sun
will NOT come up and trying to have
FAITH that it will not. There is too
much FAITH that it WILL come up. So
we must be cautious regarding our
“hopes.”
The 23rd Psalm is another Divine
Formula to LIVE by:
“The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not
want. He maketh me to lie down in
green pastures — (pranic care). He
leadeth me beside the still waters —
(emotional serenity). He guideth me
in the paths of righteousness for His
Name’s Sake — (functioning always
in the Presence of the Christ). He
restoreth my Soul — (the Love of the
Soul never dwindles). Yea, though I
walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou
art with me — (the “form life” is no
temptation to sense abandonment).
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me
— (these guarantee a managed Life in
Divine Care). Thou preparest a table
before me in the presence of mine
enemies — (One is always protected
from evil). Thou annointest my head
with oil — (one is Honored to be a
Sheep). My cup runneth over — (the
