the moon chain to a terrific culmination. conditions of agony and of distress such as are found on our planet are found in no such degree in any other scheme. the misuse of the vibratory power of a certain centre, and the perversion, or distortion of force to certain erroneous ends, not along the line of evolution, account for much of the moon mystery. certain results, such as the finding of its polar opposite, were hastened unduly on the moon chain, and the consequence was an uneven development and a retardation of the evolution of a certain number of deva and human groups. the origin of the feud between the lords of the dark face and the brotherhood of light, which found scope for activity in atlantean days, and during the present root race, can be traced back to the moon chain. we have

s shifting from washington to new york, the cancerian influence will steadily lessen and the country will take its place as an adult among the nations. its gemini nature and its aquarian soul should (when developed and balanced) provide a most remarkable channel for human expression. you will note that none of its zodiacal rulers link it with france, except indirectly through cancer, which is the polar opposite of capricorn, one of the rulers of paris. it is for this reason that such a small percentage, relatively speaking, of french people migrate to the states; there is a closer link with italy than with france, and hence the large italian population, for sagittarius rules both italy and washington. the influences are, therefore, as follows: 1. aquarius with its rulers, uranus, jupiter a

se keynotes changes from a petty and superficial nature to one of deep purpose and profound conviction. the low grade and undeveloped aquarian upon the mutable cross manifests through a superficial self-awareness. this matures in leo and becomes a deep-seated self-consciousness and a profound interest in self and its need and wishes. as the interplay goes on between leo and aquarius (for they are polar opposites) there comes a deepening of all qualities and the superficialities disappear until upon the reversed wheel the intensive self-consciousness of leo expands into the group awareness of aquarius. the individual becomes the universal. man, alone and separative, becomes mankind in his reactions and awareness and yet, at the same time, preserves his individuality; he is no longer just a

centre and point of consciousness is himself; he turns upon himself and revolves entirely upon his own axis and in respect and relation to himself, and is all the time the self-centred individual, consecrating all thought, time and service to his own well being and- 85- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoteric astrology copyright 1998 lucis trust personal interests. but in aquarius, the polar opposite of leo and its sign of consummation, he becomes outgoing; there is no centre or circle of circumscribed influence but only two outgoing lines of energy, pouring from him into the world of men. the self-conscious individual in leo becomes the conscious server in aquarius, and this is well expressed for us in the symbols of these two signs. the aquarian is consecrated to group service

e to incarnate are transmuted into soul light and light substance and the urge to tread consciously the path of return, plus the longing to serve. desire is developed and focussed in taurus when the man is upon the mutable cross and progressing around the zodiac. it is reoriented and repolarised in taurus when the man has mounted the fixed cross and is eventually relinquished in that sign. in the polar opposite of taurus, scorpio, the personality is humbled and brought to grips with the soul; in that sign the personality is "occultly killed and then resurrected into air and light" in order to become from that moment the servant of the soul. in leo, the individual awakens to his own identity, concentrates his purpose, learns the lessons and uses of selfishness (for that is one of the best w

of the new testament is as yet little understood. christ was born in capricorn, fulfilled the law under saturn, initiated the era of intelligent brotherhood under venus and is the perfect example of the capricornian initiate who becomes the world server in aquarius, and the world saviour in pisces, thus completing the round of the zodiac and able to say triumphantly in pisces "it is finished" the polar opposite to capricorn is cancer and, as you have been taught, these two signs are the two great gates of the zodiac one opening the door into incarnation, into mass life, and into human experience, whilst the other opens the door into the life of the spirit, into the life of the kingdom of god, the life and purposes of the hierarchy of our planet. cancer admits the soul into the world centre

s the door into the life of the spirit, into the life of the kingdom of god, the life and purposes of the hierarchy of our planet. cancer admits the soul into the world centre which we call humanity. capricorn admits the soul into conscious participation in the life of that world centre which we call the hierarchy. libra admits the soul into the world centre which we call shamballa, for it is the polar opposite of aries which is the place of beginnings. libra demonstrates the perfect balance of spirit and matter which first came together in aries. this balance and this relation of the great opposites, spirit and matter, is symbolised for us in the personality situation of balancing the pairs of opposites on the astral- 101- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoteric astrology copyr

ces with cancer rising. such studies would necessarily have to deal with hundreds of cases and be carried forward over a long period of time in order to prove the point which i seek to make. it would also be interesting to make an analysis of those particular- 110- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoteric astrology copyright 1998 lucis trust incarnations and their horoscopes wherein the polar opposites both appear in relation to each other one as the sun sign and the other as the ascendant, for these lives usually express some degree of either equilibrium or of consummation; they will not in any case be negative lives or lacking in direction, event or purpose. this is particularly the case upon the fixed cross of the heavens. you will note that my purpose in this section of our t

he constellation cancer is outstandingly symbolic. it precedes leo, the sign of individuality and of self-conscious effort, and is concerned with the slow rhythm of mass life either instinctually active or the reactions of an imposed consciousness which is a result of chosen experience after initiation. it connotes mass life, leading to group life after the experience of initiation, for which its polar opposite, capricorn, stands and which finds full expression in aquarius which completes the experience of leo and fuses it with that of cancer and capricorn. these six signs: cancer. leo. virgo capricorn..a. quarius..pisces form another six-pointed star of profound significance which is the subjective counterpart of the six-pointed star (the interlaced triangles) which we call king solomon's

ull use will be made of the planetary influences and the energies coming from the signs as they cyclically make their appearance, and special effort will be made, for instance, to gain certain aspects of control during the month in which the sun is in the sign sagittarius. the relation existing between virgo and pisces (between the virgin mother and the fish goddesses) is well known, for they are polar opposites and their functions are interchangeable in a peculiar manner. in the revolution of the ordinary wheel, aries and scorpio mark the beginning- 165- a treatise on the seven rays- volume iii: esoteric astrology copyright 1998 lucis trust and the end, and consummate in the rounded out and equipped personality. they are, exoterically, alpha and omega. in the life of the disciple, virgo a

e aquarian age in which the spirit of aquarius will be exemplified in its universality and its sense of "general distribution" it is inevitable that a point of crisis should be reached. the true leo type must react in a new and unique manner to the proffered opportunity, and when i say type, i refer to those people whose sun is in leo or who have leo rising. the reason for this is that leo is the polar opposite of aquarius, and the interplay of energies between these two is far more potent than at any previous time in racial history. this is a fact which you are not in a position to verify, but i make it as a statement of fact. it is because of this fact that you have the appearance of the dictators in different countries at this time, and it is because of this fact also that in this prese

e refuses often then to change or to take action, and when this is carried too far it leads to an unexpectedly futile life. the "lion must emerge from its lair" and this injunction is badly needed by leo aspirants. it will, when followed, lead the self-centred leo consciousness into the decentralised, selfless aquarian awareness. it will alter the self-service of leo into the group service of its polar opposite, aquarius. it might appropriately be added here that the prayer or voiced aspiration of the true leo person can be expressed in the words of christ, so well known to all of us "father, not my will but thine be done" i would also call your attention to another interesting fact in connection with this sign. no planet falls in leo and no planet is exalted in this sign, whilst the power

e nature. the disciple and sex an aspirant to discipleship has in sex a real problem with which to contend. selfindulgence and the control of the human being by any part of his organism are always inevitably wrong. when a man's entire mind is occupied with the thought of women, or vice versa; when he lives mainly to satisfy an animal craving; when he finds himself unable to resist the lure of his polar opposite, then he is a victim of and is controlled by the lowest part of his nature, the animal. but when man recognizes his physical functions as a divine heritage, and his equipment as having been given him for the good of the group and to be rightly used for the benefit of the human family, then we shall see a new motivating impulse underlying human conduct where sex is concerned. we shal

the land of the short nights and the long days was norway or scandinavia, beyond which was the blessed land of eternal light and summer; and to know of this, their tradition must have descended to the greeks from some people more ancient than themselves, who were acquainted with those climatic details of which the greeks themselves could know nothing. even in our day, science suspects beyond the polar seas, at the very circle of the arctic pole, the existence of a sea which never freezes and a continent which is ever green. the archaic teachings, and likewise the puranas- for one who understands the allegories of the latter- contain the same statements. suffice, then, to us the strong probability that a people, now unknown to history, lived during the miocene period of modern science, at

(zohar iii, 135a; 292a idra zootah. brody, etc) now the plain meaning of these two allegorical and metaphysical disquisitions is simply this: worlds and men were in turn formed and destroyed, under the law of evolution and from pre-existing material, until both the planets and their men, in our case our earth and its animal and human races, became what they are now in the present cycle: opposite polar forces, an equilibrized compound of spirit and matter, of the positive and the negative, of the male and the female. before man could become male and female physically, his prototype, the creating elohim, had to arrange his form on this sexual plane astrally. that is to say, the atoms and the organic forces, descending into the plane of the given differentiation, had to be marshalled in the

just as occultism regards the "fiery lives- there is no difficulty in the conception of the primitive process of procreation. consider the first stages of the development of a germ-cell. its nucleus grows, changes, and forms a double cone or spindle, thus[[diagram] within the cell. this spindle approaches the surface of the cell, and one half of it is extruded in the form of what are called the "polar cells" these polar cells now die, and the embryo develops from the growth and segmentation of the remaining part of the nucleus which is nourished by the substance of the cell. then why could not beings have lived thus, and been created in this way- at the very beginning of human and mammalian evolution? this may, perhaps, serve as an analogy to give some idea of the process by which the sec

e. when the season of reproduction arrives, the sub-astral "extrudes" a miniature of itself from the egg of surrounding aura. this germ grows and feeds on the aura till it becomes fully developed, when it gradually separates from its parent, carrying with it its own sphere of aura; just as we see living cells reproducing their like by growth and subsequent division into two. the analogy with the "polar cells" would seem to hold good, since their death would now correspond to the change introduced by the separation of the sexes, when gestation in utero, i.e, within the cell, became the rule "the early second (root) race were the fathers of the 'sweat-born; the later second (root) race were 'sweat-born' themselves" this passage from the commentary refers to the work of evolution from the beg

tinents are generally mentioned, though inferentially. among such the "mascarene continent" which included madagascar, stretching north and south, is spoken of, and the existence of another ancient continent running "from spitzbergen to the straits of dover, while most of the other parts of europe were sea bottom" is taught* the latter corroborates, then, the occult teaching which shows the (now) polar regions as the earliest of the seven cradles of humanity, and as the tomb of the bulk of the mankind of that region during the third race, when the gigantic continent of lemuria began separating into smaller continents. this is due, according to the explanation in the commentary, to a decrease of velocity in the earth's rotation "when the wheel runs at the usual rate, its extremities (the po

what other students- who have examined and studied both very carefully- have to say of them. as asserted by the egyptian priests to herodotus, who was informed that the terrestrial pole and the pole of the ecliptic had formerly coincided, thus was it found and corroborated by mackey* for he states that the poles are represented on the zodiacs in both positions "and in that which shows the poles (polar axes) at right angles, there are marks which prove that 'it was not the last time they were in that position; but the first- after the zodiacs had been traced "capricorn" he adds "is represented at the north pole, and cancer is divided, near its middle, at the south pole; which is a confirmation that originally they had their winter when the sun was in cancer; but the chief characteristics o

flood disasters occurred in china at much the same time. in caves near peking, bones of mammoths and buffaloes have been found in association with human skeletal remains.54 a number of authorities attribute the violent intermingling of mammoth carcasses with splintered and broken trees in siberia to a great tidal wave that uprooted forests and buried the tangled carnage in a flood of mud. in the polar region this froze solid and has preserved the evidence in permafrost to the present. 55 all over south america, too, ice-age fossils have been unearthed, in which incongruous animal types (carnivores and herbivores) are mixed promiscuously with human bones. no less significant is the association, over truly widespread areas, of fossilized land and sea creatures mingled in no order and yet en

scholars, is not contested by them.10 but are we seriously supposed to accept that the monument could also be a representation of the northern hemisphere of the earth projected on flat surfaces at a scale of 1:43,200? let us remind ourselves of the figures. according to the best modern estimates, based on satellite observations, the equatorial circumference of the earth is 24,902.45 miles and its polar radius is 3949.921 miles.11 the perimeter of the great pyramid s base is 3023.16 feet and its height is 481.3949 feet.12 the 7 cited in ibid, p. 333. 8 see chapter twenty-three, and stecchini in secrets of the great pyramid, p. 378. 9 see chapter twenty-three. 10 accepted, for example, by edwards, petrie, baines and malek, and so on. 11 encyclopaedia britannica, 1991, 27:530. 12 the pyramids

. given the razor-sharp accuracy of the pyramid builders, however (who normally worked to even finer tolerances, the error is less likely to have resulted from mistakes in the construction of the giant monument than in an underestimation of our planet s true circumference by just 163 miles, probably caused in part by failure to take account of the equatorial bulge. let us now consider the earth s polar radius of 3949.921 miles. if we scale it down 43,200 times we get 0.0914 of a mile: 482.59 feet. the earth s polar radius scaled down 43,200 times is therefore 482.59 feet. by comparison the great pyramid s height is 481.3949 feet just a foot less than the ideal figure, an error of barely one-fifth of one per cent. as near as makes no difference, therefore, the perimeter of the great pyramid

omparison the great pyramid s height is 481.3949 feet just a foot less than the ideal figure, an error of barely one-fifth of one per cent. as near as makes no difference, therefore, the perimeter of the great pyramid s base is indeed 1:43,200 of the equatorial circumference of the earth. and as near as makes no difference, the height of the great pyramid above that base is indeed 1:43,200 of the polar radius of the earth. in other words, during all the centuries of darkness experienced by western civilization when knowledge of our planet s dimensions was lost to us, all we ever needed to do to rediscover that knowledge was to measure the height and base perimeter of the great pyramid and multiply by 43,200! how likely is this to be an accident? the commonsense answer is not very likely at

r latitudes. the consequences of a displacement are monumental. the earth s crust ripples over its interior and the world is shaken by incredible quakes and floods. the sky appears to fall as continents groan and shift position. deep in the ocean, earthquakes generate massive tidal waves which crash against coastlines, flooding them. some lands shift to warmer climes, while others, propelled into polar zones, suffer the direst of winters. melting ice caps raise the ocean s level higher and higher. all living things must adapt, migrate or die. if the horror of an earth-crust displacement were to be visited upon today s interdependent world the progress of thousands of years of civilization would be torn away from our planet like a fine cobweb. those who live near high mountains might escape

might cause such a displacement. einstein wrote: the earth s rotation acts on these unsymmetrically deposited masses, and produces centrifugal momentum that is transmitted to the rigid crust of the earth. the constantly increasing centrifugal momentum produced this way will, when it reaches a certain point, produce a movement of the earth s crust over the earth s body, and this will displace the polar regions towards the equator. when einstein wrote these words [1953] the astronomical causes of ice ages were not fully appreciated. when the shape of the earth s orbit deviates from a perfect circle by more than one per cent, the gravitational influence of the sun increases, exercising more pull on the planet and its massive ice sheets. their ponderous weight pushes against the crust and thi

ne of ice ages? very straightforward. in a displacement, those parts of the earth s crust which are situated at the north and south poles (and which are therefore as completely glaciated as antarctica is today) shift suddenly into warmer latitudes and begin to melt with extraordinary rapidity. conversely, land that has hitherto been located at warmer latitudes is shifted equally suddenly into the polar zones, suffers a devastating climate change, and begins to vanish under a rapidly expanding ice-cap. in other words, when huge parts of northern europe and north america were heavily glaciated in what we think of as the last ice age, it was not because of some mysterious slow-acting climatic factor, but rather because those areas of land were then situated much closer to the north pole than

bility? or impossibility? is it a geophysical possibility or a geophysical impossibility that antarctica, the world s fifth-largest continent (with a surface area of almost six million square miles) could (a) previously have been located in a more temperate zone and (b) have been shifted out of that zone and into the antarctic circle within the last 20,000 years? is antarctica movable? a lifeless polar desert continental drift and/or plate-tectonics are key terms used to describe an important geological theory that has become increasingly well understood by the general public since the 1950s. it is unnecessary to go into the basic mechanisms here. but most of us are aware that the continents in some way float around, relocate and change position on the earth s surface. common sense confirm

th could occur: that the earth s crust did indeed exhibit continental drift as the geologists claimed almost imperceptibly, over hundreds of millions of years but that it also occasionally experienced very rapid one-piece displacements which had no effect on the relationships between individual landmasses but which thrust entire continents (or parts of them) into and out of the planet s two fixed polar zones (the perennially cold and icy regions surrounding the north and south poles of the axis of 1 encyclopaedia britannica, 1991, 3:584. graham hancock fingerprints of the gods 453 spin. continental drift? earth-crust displacement? both? some other cause? i honestly don t know. nevertheless, the simple facts about antarctica are really strange and difficult to explain without invoking some

day oriented by the curvature of the earth so that the sun never rises on it during the six winter months and never sets during the six summer months (but rather, as viewed from the pole, remains low above the horizon, appearing to transcribe a circular path around the sky during each twenty-four hours of daylight. antarctica is also by far the world s coldest continent, where temperatures on the polar plain can fall as low as minus 89.2 degrees centigrade. although the coastal areas are slightly warmer (minus 60 degrees centigrade) and shelter huge numbers of seabird rookeries, there are no native land mammals and there is only a small community of coldtolerant plants capable of surviving lengthy winter periods of total or near-total darkness. the encyclopaedia britannica lists these plan

mall community of coldtolerant plants capable of surviving lengthy winter periods of total or near-total darkness. the encyclopaedia britannica lists these plants laconically: lichens, mosses and liverworts, moulds, yeasts, other fungi, algae and bacteria. 2 in other words, although magnificent to behold in the long-drawn-out antipodean dawn, antarctica is a freezing, unforgiving, almost lifeless polar desert, as it has been throughout mankind s entire 5000-year historical period. was it always so? exhibit 1 discover the world of science magazine, february 1993, page 17: some 260 million years ago, during the permian period, deciduous trees adapted to a warm climate grew in antarctica. this is the conclusion palaeobotanists are drawing from a stand of fossilized tree stumps discovered at a

ago, and that water-lillies flourished in spitzbergen in the same period: the miocene floras of grinnell land and greenland, and spitzbergen, all required temperate climatic conditions with plentiful moisture. the water lillies of spitzbergen would have required flowing water for the greater part of the year. in connection with the flora of spitzbergen it should be realized that the island is in polar darkness for half the year. it lies on the arctic circle, as far north of labrador as labrador is north of bermuda.15 some of the islands in the arctic ocean were never covered by ice during the last ice age. on baffin island, for example, 900 miles from the north pole, alder and birch remains found in peat suggest a much warmer climate than today less than 30,000 years ago. these conditions

ese predecessors which made our own expedition- ample though it was- so little noticed by the world at large. as the newspapers told, we sailed from boston harbor on september 2nd, 1930, taking a leisurely course down the coast and through the panama canal, and stopping at samoa and hobart, tasmania, at which latter place we took on final supplies. none of our exploring party had ever been in the polar regions before, hence we all relied greatly on our ship captains- j. b. douglas, commanding the brig arkham, and serving as commander of the sea party, and georg thorflnnssen, commanding the barque miskatonic- both veteran whalers in antarctic waters. as we left the inhabited world behind, the sun sank lower and lower in the north, and stayed longer and longer above the horizon each day. at

i thought i could see the one mentioned by poor lake, with a rampart exactly on top. it seemed to be half lost in a queer antarctic haze- such a haze, perhaps, as had been responsible for lake s early notion of volcanism. the pass loomed directly before us, smooth and windswept between its jagged and malignly frowning pylons. beyond it was a sky fretted with swirling vapors and lighted by the low polar sun- the sky of that mysterious farther realm upon which we felt no human eye had ever gazed. a few more feet of altitude and we would behold that realm. danforth and i, unable to speak except in shouts amidst the howling, piping wind that raced through the pass and added to the noise of the unmuffled engines, exchanged eloquent glances. and then, having gained those last few feet, we did in

, in a similar age of decline, stripped greece and asia of their finest art to give his new byzantine capital greater splendors than its own people could create. that the transfer of sculptured blocks had not been more extensive was doubtless owing to the fact that the land city was not at first wholly abandoned. by the time total abandonment did occur- and it surely must have occurred before the polar pleistocene was far advanced- the old ones had perhaps become satisfied with their decadent art- or had ceased to recognize the superior merit of the older carvings. at any rate, the aeon-silent ruins around us had certainly undergone no wholesale sculptural denudation, though all the best separate statues, like other movables, had been taken away. the decadent cartouches and dadoes telling

it was not fear of those four missing others- for all too well did we suspect they would do no harm again. poor devils! alter all, they were not evil things of their kind. they were the men of another age and another order of being. nature had played a hellish jest on them- as it will on any others that human madness, callousness, or cruelty may hereafter dig up in that hideously dead or sleeping polar waste- and this was their tragic homecoming. they had not been even savages-for what indeed had they done? that awful awakening in the cold of an unknown epoch- perhaps an attack by the furry, frantically barking quadrupeds, and a dazed defense against them and the equally frantic white simians with the queer wrappings and paraphernalia. poor lake, poor gedney. and poor old ones! scientists

n the blood and in the seed and in the reciprocal action of these two substances in the vital matter or in the vitality. as we have learned, the fiery element produces the electrical and the water element the magnetic fluid. each of these fluids has two-pole radiations, an active and a passive one, and the mutual influences and interactions of all the radiations of the four poles resemble a tetra-polar magnet, which is identical to the secret of the tetragrammaton, the yod-he-vau-he of the quabbalists. therefore the electromagnetic fluid in the human body, in its emanation, is the animal magnetism, the od or whatever name it has been given. the right side of the human body is active-electric, provided that the individual be right-handed. the left side is passive-magnetic. as for the left-h

s continued to be promoted by enthusiasts even as explorers reached the north and south poles during the first decade of the twentieth century. the open poles theory was further undermined when aviator richard e. byrd (1888.1957) became the first to fly over the north pole (1926) and the south pole (1929) and reported nothing but unending whiteness. in 1959, a u.s. submarine journeyed beneath the polar ice cap and actually surfaced at the north pole, based on precise calculations. since then, year-round research stations have been built on several sites at both poles. no large holes have been found. hollow earth enthusiasts continue to believe. teed fs concave earth theory, for example, was tested during world war ii (1939.1945) by a nazi scientist. he aimed a camera at a 45-degree angle i

an, whereas the sharper star is better for invoking and banishing the potentials represented by its points. although it conveys a unique meaning all its own, the nonagram is also a com- posite symbol that extends the concept begun with the triangle and continued in the hexagram. the triangle is a symbol of the perfect trinity of emanations from the unmanifest. in the hexagram this trinity is made polar, and a dynamic tension and interaction is established. in the nonagram this conflict of opposite trines is resolved by the introduction of a third triplicity, and the tension changed into harmony. by breaking each element of the first trinity into a lesser trinity, the idea of cir- cles within circles and worlds within worlds is conveyed. in the occult, usually the ninefold division is as fa
