"One body, One soul, One life"
The 'Art of Synthesis'
lies in the integration of body, soul and
spirit as expressed within your daily life.
In terms of the maxim 'Know Thyself'
body, soul and
spirit may be further understood to be:-
Know Thyself - as an
individual personality -
individual consciousness - body
Know the Self - as an
expression of the One Soul -
group consciousness - soul
Know the One - as an
expression of the One Life -
unity consciousness - spirit
Know Thyself - body
'Body' in this context refers to the three
aspects making up the individual
consciousness of the personality: the
physical (etheric), mental and emotional
bodies. Content within workshops/study
groups will focus
on the personality
knowing itself as an individual distinct
from the 'mass consciousness' of humanity.
Personal development, recognition of the
illusory nature of this reality, and
cultivation of awareness are the qualities
embraced within this aspect. In the study of
Esoteric Astrology it is represented by the
'orthodox' planetary rulerships; chakras are
primarily those below the diaphragm - base, sacral,
solar plexus.
Know the Self - Soul
Having known itself as an individual the
personality now relinquishes all that it has
become in favour of that which it is not.
Surrender is the key to moving to this next
level of awareness and is the most
challenging for the personality. It is at
this stage where spiritual brothers/sisters
(the Sangha - spiritual community) are most
important for the developing personality,
for these 'true friends' will reflect the
light of truth when illusions are at their
most powerful. With the assistance of the
community, awareness may now expand from
individual consciousness to that of the
group; the personality begins its
integration with the soul. In Esoteric
Astrology this stage is represented by the
'esoteric' planetary rulerships; chakras are
primarily those above the diaphragm - heart, throat,
brow
and crown.
Know the One - Spirit
The integrated personality now functions
upon this earth as a vehicle for soul force.
Its consciousness knowing only unity, is an
expression of the One soul that lives and
moves in accordance with divine Will. This
is a high level of awareness from which it
is the soul which moves to integration with
Spirit in accordance with the principles of
occult law. The 'personality', if still
incarnate, is a vessel for the One Life.
Esoteric Astrology planetary rulerships are
'hierarchical', with all chakras
acting in unison.
This level of awareness has no need of
workshops unless it is in service to
humanity.
This is not a linear process. The
'Art of Synthesis' lies in holding awareness
of each of these levels simultaneously.
Workshops/study groups will, therefore, offer opportunity
for each of these aspects to be experienced
and understood; Soul integration may then be
expressed as a fluid, evolutionary pathway
of light, grounded in the ordinariness of
everyday life.
These premises form the foundation for all
talks, events, workshops and study groups
featured on this site. The outer form may
differ but at its core lies awareness of
integrative Truth outlined above.
