Re:Christmas Card-Lifting Veils

Ann B. submitted this interesing commentary:

"That which is a mystery
shall no longer be so
and that which has been veiled
will now be revealed;
that which has been withdrawn
will emerge into the light
and all men shall see
and together they shall rejoice."

- Old Commentary

When people used to talk about veils I couldn't imagine what they meant except
in a poetic figurative way. Now when I reflect on my consciousness as in the
beginning of meditation I sense varioius inner rooms opening. When I am tired
or have a headache I am literally up against a brick wall. My inner eye is
frustrated with an ugly painful view. But when I center relax breathe etc it
is as if people are moving scenery on a stage or elevator doors or opening and
closing to reveal at certain times large expansive light-filled vistas.

In this season we are told the light will come and merry gentlemen shall rejoice
with the coming of the Light and the Word. I propose to those that may be
interested a group meditation or reflection at the time of the ingress of the
sun into Capricorn the night of the solstice. On the morning of Dec.
22 at 02:00AM Grenwich time 8:00 AM approximately in the USA the sun will
ingress. Six hours later the Moon will ingress into Capricorn as the new moon.

The Alice Bailey groups meditate at the time of the full moon. The moon is
supposed to be out of the way of the sun. However the new moon is often seen
as a begiinning of a cycle. Perhaps the veils will be lifted around this time
and new energies will be provided to consciousnesses that are listening.
Perhaps nothing at all will happen for some. Perhaps the Solstice day itself
will provide a point of reflection and new beginnings.

For those asleep dreams may bring messages for the coming new year! It is
interesting that we mention "Isis Unveiled" hardly at all on this news group or
rather rarely in other theosphical circles. From my sketchy knowledge in this
earlier work she attempts to contrast relgious thinking concerning a personal
God as opposed to the older Western traditions of the Goddess of the Moon as
personification of the ancient wisdom man am I showing my ignorance here!.
She mentions karma reincarnation Buddhism maya and all the Eastern Esoteric
vocabulary very little if at all. The idea of the Masters had not been
formulated either. The quantum leap to "The Secret Doctrine" shows that more
than a few veils were left to be lifted. Those that are skeptical might see the
hands of many of K. Paul's all-too-human Masters at work on the thought of HPB
at this time.

Isis-the moon in conjuction with Osiris-the sun will give birth to Horus the
divine child as symbols of evolution of consciousness.
