The identical thing that we now call the Christian religion existed, among the ancients, and has not been lacking from the beginnings of the human race until the coming of Christ in the flesh, from which moment on the true religion, which already existed, began to be called Christian. (St. Augustine, De Civitate Dei)

We speak Wisdom among them that are perfect...,

We speak the Wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden Wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory. (I Cor. 2.6-7)

Know ye not that your body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (I Cor. 6.18-19)

Awake thou that sleepest and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. (Eph. 5.14)

He that raised up Christ ... shall also quicken you by His Spirit that dwelleth in you. (Rom. 8.11 )

Ye are all one in Christ. (Gal. 7.28)

I have said. Ye are gods. (Ps. 82.6)

This book is dedicated to Helena Petrovna (Blavatsky ed.), and to my fellow students and teachers at A.U.M., the future Aquarian University of Maryland, at 2405 Ruscombe Lane, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A. I am deeply indebted to Geoffrey Hodson whom I regard as my teacher in this field. If you find this volume of interest then read his books on the Bible and the Angelic Kingdoms.

May the Truth of the Voice resound to the Greater Glory of God. May the Love and Wisdom of the Great Mother find a resting-place in the fallen Soul. May the consciousness of Christ be as a guiding Light unto all beings. For ever and ever. Amen.

My little children of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you. (Gal. 4.19)

The fundamental assumption underlying their production is that there exists one comprehensive body of Truth known as the Gnosis or Ageless Wisdom. This Wisdom was given to us by spiritual teachers in the Lemurian Root Race. These teachings, originally pure and consistent, became garbled and distorted through the descent of the successive Races, such as the Atlantean to the Physical Plane.

According to esoteric philosophy man was originally evolving on a level of manifestation higher than the Physical Plane, and known as the Mental Plane. This is the biblical tale of the Garden of Eden. The Races descended gradually to the Physical Plane and are now on the upward arc of evolution towards their spiritual home. (See The Aquarian Mandala.)

MAAT is the Egyptian goddess of Truth. We can only understand our purpose on Earth when we are motivated by Truth to seek Soul Wisdom. This can be found through the universal language of symbolism.

Go first to Planetary Rulerships of the Signs of the Zodiac and study the two pages thoroughly.

The symbol of the Circle is divided into two hemispheres:

(a) Macrocosm or Universe

(b) Microcosm or Man

The interaction between these hemispheres takes place along the axes of the zodiacal signs. In this manner, the universe is reflected into man. 'Man is the universe on a small scale'. (Lao Tse)

Look at Twelve Signs and Their Triads the Circle is divided into four triads. The first is the Godhead, the second the Monad, the third the Higher Self and the fourth the Lower Self. These four triads are directly related to the twelve signs of the zodiac. These four quadrants of the Circle are dealt with more extensively In The Aquarian Mandala. (The Mandala is the Cross in the Circle.)

The symbolic key of the Mandala has been applied to the Bible to demonstrate the existence of secret teachings, called the "mysteries of Christ" in the Bible. Not only can these keys be found in the Bible, they also are the keys to comparative mythology. (See Aquarian Mythology: A Comparative Study.) Mythological and religious texts must be interpreted through their symbols and allegories. Studied in this manner they lead us directly to the unchanging Gnosis or Ageless Wisdom. This Wisdom alone can free the Soul from bondage.

Parts II, III, IV and V are based on a linear progression through the signs of the zodiac around the circumference of the circle, commencing with Capricorn in the direction of Aquarius. This movement has been related to the story of creation in Genesis (Part II and also a Section in Part VII) and to the cycle of the Church year commencing with Christmas (Part IV). Part V and its five Sections is the major exposition of this cycle based on direct quotations from the King James version of the Bible. The Age of Aquarius (1,900 - 4,000 A.D.) See more on time scales.

This is dealt with more fully in the Introduction. Quite simply we require the scientific exploration of religion provided by yoga. These teachings are in the Bible and are set out in Parts VIII to XII. Yoga provides the scientific rationale for meditation.

Study Yoga of Revelation; Souls of the Aquarian Age and Meditation Centres for the Aquarian Age, then apply the information given in Yoga of Christ - Meditation of Yoga and Christian Form of Meditation. These deal with the practical scientific side of religion and provide answers to the questions:

Part XII gives practical advice drawn in the main from biblical sources. The Light of Christ is within you. Learn to set it free.

(See also Appendices for more background to this work.)

Study mythologies and identify the repeated use of the symbolic language. Examine the symbols of Genesis given in Part II and then read the Section on Symbols in The Aquarian Mandala.

Understand the function of the Creator as distinct from the Godhead. The Universe is a spiritual creation and the Creators (plural) are the Elohim or Angelic Hosts. This means that the energies of the Cosmos are directly under the control of these Creators or Hierarchies of the Lesser Gods known as Angels and Archangels. Therefore, the forces or energies emanating from or through the stars and planets are at all times under their guidance. Astrology is dependent from the spiritual Universe. It is part of the Science of Religion, but it is imperfectly understood because it has been degraded by its practitioners and by its critics. The zodiacal hierarchies are sublime spiritual agents of God.
