Dissent along the Cosmic Timeline
Active life begins with inspiration, but in order for growth to continue without simply repeating itself, life must meet challenges that disrupt the creative process. An interruption in the life experience must occur so that life can progress. A mother can hold her child in the womb but for a short period of time before she must release that child into the world, or both the mother and the child would obstruct the other’s life energies and perish. This holds true in unique ways for every stage of existence.
With that said, a slightest shift in the creative process began on Ancient Saturn that inspired the creative potential of future worlds. As we know, during Saturn Evolution, Heavenly Thrones streamed willful impressions onto the undifferentiated substance of Saturn and created the essential ether, which set the tones for all future manifestations. Within that sublime experience, an inspiring development took hold that was carried over onto Ancient Sun and that would continue to inspire growth throughout World Creation. I can describe this shift in the creative process by saying that the higher realms of Heaven paused in their responses to the lower worlds. Spirits who oversaw the willful creative energies of the Thrones rested their attentions on something other than Creation. They paused, and in that sublime pause, some of the work of Thrones was returned as Gifts of Glory from On High.
Heavenly Thrones were able to use the glorious energies showered upon them to establish the first of unique willful experiences within Creation that would come to define our world. Gifts of Glory from On High moved throughout the Saturn timeline and reached Archai spirits who were coming of spiritual age. Archai received the energies that were showered upon them with a pause of their own. They had never before lived through such a sublime experience, and their developments were momentarily interrupted. They responded with awe-inspired anticipation as they took in the impulses gifted them. This awe-inspired anticipation was carried into the world of Sun.
The exalted landscape of Ancient Sun was formed through the harmonies of Truth and Love. In those heavenly frequencies, awe-inspired anticipation was experienced in elevated ways. During the first half of life on Ancient Sun, all the developments that took place were expressed with the fullest sense of joy and gratitude. By the end stages of Sun Evolution, the slightest of cautionary revelations occurred that, for lack of better words, were expressed as anxieties of the mildest sort as a result of the exalted pause that called into play something else—there was something beyond, in the Highest Heavens, that was held in awe and deserving of reverence.
When the awe-inspiring impulses of Creation met with the magnetic environment of Ancient Moon, they were set on a slow, degenerative path that marked a gradual decline for certain heavenly spirits. Expressions of awe-inspired anticipation digressed, and a sense of longing crept in, along with apathy and self-oriented desires caused by wanting something that could not be obtained within the common world. Impulses of rejection divided the lower heavens as certain spirits outright denied the importance of the phenomenal world and other spirits denied elevated guidance in order to achieve relevance within the substantiated Moon environment. The most righteous spirits held a balance between the two.
By the time the exalted pause reached the evolutionary sphere of Earth, it was three worlds removed from the original source of awe-inspired anticipation that had been expressed on Ancient Saturn. On Earth, memories of Glory from On High were tainted in ways that led to ultimate isolation from The Divine. A sense of rejection from the Heavens became the root of all misfortune, and dense spirits exploited the isolation it caused humanity.
Even so, Truth arises out of isolation. A separation from The Divine is a fundamental part of our human spiritual journey.
Spirits of Rejection
In the twilight density of Ancient Moon, Dynamis of the Second Celestial Tier were in a position of creative authority. Their powers of motion under Divine Persuasion formed the magnetic ether associated with the Moon environment along with the astral-emotional body. As already discussed, some beings within the choir of Dynamis took in the rejection impulse and began working against the elevated movements of their peers. Dynamis had already been initiated into higher spheres of consciousness, and their status as the Fifth Heavenly Choir had been well established. Still, as Moon Evolution progressed, certain Dynamis were pulled into an isolationist strategy by yearnings of rejection. They became Spirits of Hindrance who worked against Divine Impulses of Creation. This was rather innocent at first. In subtle ways, their defiance was brought about as a result of weakened responses to Blessings from On High that had been received with far less appreciation on Ancient Moon than in the two preceding worlds. The rejection impulse was strengthening, and liberating forces were working into the human experience.
Dynamis who took in the rejection impulse and became Spirits of Hindrance opposed the Sun’s movement away from the lunar landscape and caused a great scene that shook up Moon Evolution. A schism arose within the Moon World that rippled throughout the lower heavens. Spirits of Hindrance began battling with rightfully aligned Dynamis and fell behind as the sun’s sphere of influence lifted away from the moon landscape.
Due to their inverted motions, Spirits of Hindrance did not fit in with the positive energies of the Dynamis who were evolving with the sun, and they struggled against the creative energies of Exusia, those Spirits of Conception evolving in the choir beneath them. While positive Dynamis worked in harmony with Exusia, negative Dynamis could no longer relate, and they fell into disrepute, so to speak. Because their energies were retarded, they regressed into the Sixth Heavenly Realm of Exusia where their regressive motions opposed rightful Spirits of Form. They became inverted spirits within the Sixth Heavenly Realm and positioned themselves as gatekeepers who burdened the natural progress of lower spiritual beings.
The repellant energies of Spirits of Hindrance pushed them to the furthest rings of space where they projected their discordant tones within the solar system and hindered the transformational streams of those Exusia working to build up the phenomenal world with integrity. To this day, Spirits of Hindrance warp the world of the five senses from their inverted positions. They hold the planets in material patterns that less-evolved life forms must transcend.
Spiritually, all lower celestial beings live within the life forces of higher beings, so a shift in the life energies of higher spirits is felt downward just like lower persuasion are felt upward. A particular Exusia latched onto the inverted energies of Spirits of Hindrance with a great deal of stubborn enthusiasm. He dedicated himself to impeding higher creative forces in extreme ways that countered the more patient evolutionary disciplines that Spirits of Hindrance had been compelled to establish. This darkened Exusia refused to evolve into unity consciousness with his peers. He took on impulses of rejection and eventually lost himself in a lie of isolation. He was a Spirit of Conception—a commander of form and transformational beauty who became obsessed with the workings of regressive movement. He drank in the rejection impulse and his growth became stunted. He was no longer able to relate to the harmonious powers of Exusia, nor could he work with advancing Archai of the celestial tier beneath him. Those rightful spirits were willing to rise with the Sun and were not interested in taking on the inverted powers that this being had become identified with.
In active life, the darkness of night is not equal to the light of day. Night is reflective and inward. Too much time spent absorbing nighttime energies can be regressive, whereas, daylight is conscious and energizing. On Ancient Sun, there was no need for night as we experience it on Earth. Ancient Sun held a perfect harmony of activity and receptivity. It was alive with Conscious Light as the Breath of Life was exhaled and inhaled within expressive brilliance.
During the time of Ancient Moon, the twilight landscape was not dense enough to experience a rotational night like that of Earth. Darkness and cold became regressive expressions linked to the magnetic attributes of Karma, or effective retribution, which was transcribed into Creation during Moon Evolution. Effective retribution is the justice component of the Kali Earth stage, and when Earth began its evolutionary course, Karma associated with Ancient Moon set the stage for earthly developments as related to the Law of Circular Form and burdened life with a holding pattern of emotional dialogues that must be overcome in the ascending side of the Kali timeline.
Through the Law of Circular Form, the actions of the past as well as those of the present are reflected into the future and keep Earth tied to the chaotic density of Kali. Yet, we have a built-in solar advantage. On Earth, daylight overpowers night two-to-one. We are generally awake sixteen hours for every eight hours we sleep. Light is on our side.
That darkened Exusia fell heavily into rejection and opposed the light of rightful spirits. He refused Conscious Light and those fellow Spirits of Conception whose realm is the sun. He absorbed inverted forces that led to selfish claims of power and isolated his soul from higher creative expressions. The degradation of this fallen Exusia hit the Third Celestial Tier, consisting of Archai, Archangels and Angels, with harsh and heavy consequences that could be likened to spiritual child abuse, for lack of a better analogy.
This fallen Exusia had already been initiated into certain conceptual powers of creative form building and became an inverted shape-shifter within the lower heavens. He hid in the depths of Ancient Moon, and when Earth Evolution progressed, he slipped into the night where the sun could not overpower him. He established himself in the negative space surrounding Earth, in what can be described as dense, negative ether. Rather than working with the light of substance, he used inverted forces to compress form and pull struggling personalities into his abyss. He created cold, dense environments that shadowed light. He became a spirit of darkness, the enemy of the Spirit of Light, of Ahura Mazdao. He became a Spirit of Falsehood, a satan— Ahriman. His stubborn grasp of the rejection impulse tainted the life stream of which he was connected, and those beings who fully gave themselves to him became Ahrimanic.
Meanwhile, another stream of the rejection impulse was influencing Moon Evolution. The wise persuasions of Dominations that had first been revealed on Ancient Sun lost some of their illuminating appeal on Ancient Moon. The hardening effects of Spirits of Hindrance trickled into the lower realms as spirits of the Third Creative Tier began turning away from Divine Blessings and disregarding their creative and evolutionary responsibilities. Knowledge alone began to define the world of form and also entrap beings within it.
Archangels are Spirits of Fire. They are illuminators of the mind, holding the transformative powers of Glorious Truth. Lucifer was an Archangel who became trapped in knowledge on Ancient Moon. Lucifer had looked upon Ahriman, the fallen Exusia, and was able to calculate those things that Ahriman had overlooked. He knew that the way downward through rejection of Spirit must lead upward again, and being the brightest of his realm, who better to lead the adventure into transformative consciousness than he?
Lucifer drank in the rejection impulse and began misusing his fiery appeal, his embodiment of heavenly warmth and knowledge, to manipulate lesser-evolved spirits. He journeyed into the realm of Angels where he played to the egos of awakening spirits and convinced some of them to reject the Laws of God. In doing this, he pulled other beings within the Third Creative Tier along with him.
Lucifer took in the rejection impulse while in full acknowledgement of the Divine Laws that must be upheld in a liberated world experience. He embodied intelligence while denying the love aspect of God. In that way, he betrayed his love of The Divine andallowed himself to feel betrayed by The Divine as a result. He preached inspiring rhetoric and progressive claims that led rebelling Angels away from Divine Truth as expressed through Love and in that way steered them into the gravitational path of Ahriman. Angels who followed Lucifer acted upon the rejection impulse with a degree of choice, and Lucifer betrayed their loyalties by tricking them into rebellion for the sake of creative progress.
Angels are highly devotional creatures, but Lucifer was of an elevated persuasion and wielded a strong influence. Those Angels who took to Lucifer began denouncing their evolutionary disciplines, and they grew sick in the tainted expressions disrupting Moon Evolution. They became Moon rebels, and a Moon cult of spirits formed. Higher beings who held the rebel Angels within their life energies were burdened away from other creative and evolutionary tasks in order to care for the diseased twilight spirits. Rejection and betrayal became the root of suffering, and those angelic beings who were tied to the rejection impulse as written into the false gospel of Lucifer became known as Luciferic Spirits.
While Lucifer established for himself a superficial relevance within the lower heavens, Ahriman became emboldened by the liberated knowledge on Ancient Moon. He took it upon himself to control knowledge and emasculate an evolving humankind from the Christ Source of Light and true illumination. Ahriman took on density and became gravity. When Earth began its evolutionary course, he slipped into Earth’s depths and pulled those higher beings within his life stream with him.
Ahriman landed hard in the lower realms of Earth, and it is said that his downward spiral gave him the inverted momentum to pull planetary Pluto into the world gravitational influence. Pluto’s orbit helps to build Ahriman’s inverted eighth sphere, the only creational sphere that a satan can fully claim. As Pluto orbits the sun, its heavy environment traps dense gravitational energies into a condensed ethereal realm around Earth. It has also been said that other planetary spheres were tugged into materialization as a result of Ahriman’s false-light gravitational pressures. Neptune, signifying the sphere of Seraphim, and Uranus, signifying the sphere of Cherubim, became materialization within the Creative World as certain beings within those higher realms strayed from devotional duties in responsibility of spiritually immature beings within their life streams who became tangled in a landscape of rejection.
Spiritually, the moon ties Earth to Karmic conditions that we must transcend in order to grow as more enlightened spiritual beings. The eighth sphere of Ahriman worksagainst enlightened progress and merit-oriented spiritual developments by enticing people with promises of an unnatural and therefore false immortality. The eighth sphere of Ahriman hosts a diseased reality that is void of moral laws and that betrays higher life impulses by isolating humanity from more elevated influences and rightful justice as supported by the Law of Cause and Effect.
We no longer need to wonder who is at the bottom of the inverted Earth hierarchy that is working to surveil and control humanity, because tying the entire network of inverted forces together is Ahriman, a satan—a spirit of darkness who isolates all those in his shadow from elevated life experiences. Influential people who have fallen onto Ahriman’s path want to be worshipped. They want to shock us with awe so that we respect them, and so they constantly wage war on the unfamiliar and vulnerable aspects of our lives. They need us to acknowledge their power and in that way bow to them, so they manipulate the world stage attempting to convince us that we need them—that we need their praise in order for us to be relevant, that we need their medicines in order for us to be healthy, that we need their foods in order for us to be fed, that we need their weapons in order for us to defeat our enemies, that we need their rockets in order for us to understand the cosmos. Soon, they will be telling us that we need them to be godly so that we can be elevated by their greatness. Through a lack of proper alignment with the higher worlds, we would usher false leaders into god-like positions of power, and we already known how they world rule. Humanity has been through this before in ancient times. They would be demigods of the worst order.
The rise in dark occult practices during this emerging age of intuition is not a coincidence. Disciples of the dark occult are no longer hiding their disdain for a rightfully aligned humanity. They wear their hypocrisies proudly while flaunting a militarized one-world government that serves to benefit only them.
Viola speaks to dark forces tied to the eighth sphere in a recall of night class. She says,
The Eighth Sphere is begotten of two parents: The Life of Substance and Substance itself. There is no spirit aspect as such. This life of substance is a black light. The progeny of this union are the misbegotten demons of darkness, the soulless spawn of evil because there is no spirit aspect. It is a hopeless sphere.
The Eighth Sphere had its origin on Pluto. Its creators are powerful and integrated human beings denying spirit and integrated at the matter polarity. The ultimate end of this sphere is annihilation because it endures for a time along with its creators. It is an evil center of power.
Denizens of this sphere are on the planet Earth with some of the creators of this evil. These demoniac beings are totally evil whereas their creators can never be totally evil. These demoniac beings are a temporary creation. They do the work of their creators in demoralizing and corrupting and terrifying mankind.
January 3, 1962
Steiner also speaks to this in The Foundations of Esotericism, Lecture 19, when he describes antagonistic, astral projections called Asuras that are artificially called forth through the distorted egos of fallen Moon beings. Through our immoral thoughts, which are intensified in the daydreamy numbness so prevalent in the modern world, and also in our meditations when we do not first align with higher impulses before expanding our consciousness, and, as well, in intoxicated states that pull us into false sensations of enlightenment, we provide nourishment for these asuric beings. They can weigh down our emotional expressions and cause havoc in our lives. Here again, alignment is key.
In the accounts of such cosmic excitement, we can pause in the anticipations that hindsight offers us. We are on the ascending side of earthly developments and are able to look upon the evolutionary past and see more clearly what our ancestors were up against. Our awe-inspiring past is worth remembering because it speaks to the present and will be expanded into the future.
As represented in the cosmic timeline, Earth was masterfully engineered by The Divine to evolve in support of our adventures of spirit. To be observed as well, the higher realms are becoming more visible during this time in ways that will inspire our health and wellbeing as genuine creative people. We are humans of Kali Earth, and the higher worlds demand our spiritual independence for the sake of the common good. Diversity of mind allows us to access the plethora of information available to us at this time so that we can rise to higher expectations of worth and prevail as a united choir of beings within the Tenth Heavenly Kingdom.
The Occult
In the modern high-tech information environment, dark remedies within the occult world appear all around us, and can tug an unsuspecting person, as well as a community of people, astray. Earth is a merit-oriented spiritual stage, and in that light, all higher knowledge requires discipline to achieve and integrity to hold. Higher wisdom reaches us through our alignments, which are merit oriented, making certain information seem mysterious for those who are not attuned to understand it. This is common sense; we know that in our daily lives, people carry diverse skill sets and knowledge that may seem strange or profound, even, to those people who have different interests and who have invested their attentions elsewhere. We all are genuine in the information we hold. Through our alignments, we gain access to elevated streams of information that are designed to support us as appropriate for our challenges and developments. Spiritual knowledge is uniquely charged with assisting people based on where we stand in life and is shared and assimilated in unique ways throughout the world. The foundation of that knowledge is consistent and principled because it is designed in the Heavens.
The mysteries are connected to the higher worlds, and the timing of knowledge that is released is thoughtfully planned. This is why mystery schools perk up for a time and then seem to disappear. They are generally known to promote positive advances through merit worthy approaches to spiritual practices. However, as messages relay into our world, they can become fuzzy and inaccurate within our dense environment, like a spiritual game of telephone with poor reception. And as time progresses, a culture can hold to practices that no longer reflect the growth of a people, and so they become regressive.
Mystery schools carry a fundamental importance in our world because they work to elevate Mankind from within the tainted influences associated with each age. It is understood within esoteric studies that mystery initiates were active in preparing the United States Constitution. In the early 1900’s at the dawn of the intuitive age, mystery schools were already influencing major decisions within the governments of the modern world. And yet, all esoteric practices are only as worthy as the intentions and devotions of the people who proclaim them. Rightful alignment, especially in this
intuitive age, is key.
It is worth noting that the effects of dark and misaligned practices always return to the
initiators of those practices. The deep state as we understand it today is filled with occult knowledge that is being used to synthetically elevate a small elite class of people who would rather manipulate and restrain natural spiritual advances than share those advances through stewardship duties that would relieve the sufferings of others. This speaks to why Ahriman’s eighth sphere, which promotes a synthetic immortality, is becoming more appealing to certain backward personalities. The eighth sphere resonates with misaligned souls who are desperate to avoid retributive responsibilities and who attempt to bypass karmic duties.
In the occult world, even more well-intended schools and practices can easily lend themselves to disturbed forces because they often confuse merit-oriented spiritual attainment with self-aggrandizing and false relevance within the world. Problematic occult schools are known to emphasize earthly perfection while utilizing rituals meant to bind and control spirits, good or bad, in order to direct those spirits to carry out certain tasks. My sense of such practices is that they are built on a foundation of misdeeds and reveal flaws in spiritual thinking that miss the mark on two fundamental questions: First, is perfection a noble pursuit for the spiritually initiated? Second, should Mankind attempt to gain control over the spiritual worlds?
In response to the first question, it seems quite obvious that the pursuit of worldly perfection triggers an ego-oriented relationship with identity that results in the appearance of enlightenment for the sake of status and relevance. Pursuits of perfection dampen the soul by emphasizing a cleanliness that is unobtainable on the Earth stage and that highlights appearances over merit-oriented obligations. In that way, practices involving earthly perfection too easily mislead a person to arrogantly reject and abuse stewardship duties. We live in a tainted world, yet our flaws affirm our humanity and reveal glitches that will uniquely contribute to our personalities as we allow rightful alignments and spiritual disciplines to gain relevance in our lives.
For the second question, rituals to control spirits assert a sense domination over rather than collaboration with the spiritual worlds, and they lead to gross abuses of power that disassociate a person from harmonious alignment with the Heavens. Only misguided spirits and vulnerable elementals can be bound to servitude through spells. Fallen Angels who did not rise into active consciousness on Ancient Moon and who are working to elevate themselves on Earth may, through obligation and misalignment, answer the call of a mediumship, a spell or an incantation. And that is where all forms of ritual magic fall short.
Within the spiritual realms, and with special emphasis on lesser-liberated spiritual beings, controlling tactics disrespect the evolving soul and too easily lead to contempt. All rightful spirits choose to actively participate in evolution. Anyone attempting to command a proper spirit will be left with a fast and strong retributive kick in the rear. Our alignments with The Divine afford us genuine connections with the higher worlds so that we can build healthy relationships with elevated spirits who are rightfully charged with assisting us. Through patience and discipline, divinely inspired beings will move closer to us so that we can develop natural interactions with them that transcend tainted weave influences.
Why is this important to know?
Because we are the Kingdom of Mankind, and our place among the Cosmic Hierarchy is the Tenth Heavenly Realm. We stand at the hallmark of human potential. The powers of The Divine have streamed throughout Creation and have presented themselves in the three ancient worlds that, one after the other, have evolved into our present day Earth. Higher spirits have dedicated their life activities to building and shaping our world in all of its complex and dynamic expressions so that we can earn our wings, or so the saying goes, as citizens of the heavenly realms. In this way, we lighten the obligations of higher spirits so that the entire creative world can take in more brilliance. An elevated humanity affirms the blessings of higher beings just as the wellbeing of a child affirms the devotional practices of a parent and, in that way, frees the parent to accept broader responsibilities and discoveries in life through peace of mind.
We are at the developmental cusp of creational potential, and it is within our evolutionary experience to receive Divine Persuasions and willfully direct them back into the world. We are Blessed Souls—Spirits of Truth-Affirming Love who are more than capable of receiving and sharing Blessings from On High.
We are survivors who have been shaped and polished in the densest stage of chaos of which the Divine Feminine patiently ensouls as a loving and faithful Mother, so that upon our coming of spiritual age as actively conscious beings, the world itself will awaken with us. We are the last stop. Through us, awe-inspired anticipation is returned to the world in genuine, life-affirming ways that will circulate to the ends of time.
Recognizing Lemuria
All of Creation exists in fullness, so as life moves forward, creative energies are absorbed and redistributed. New expressions bare the markings of older experiences. This is the way of the creative world.
As we can imagine, when Kali Earth began to take form, the signatures of Ancient Saturn, Ancient Sun and Ancient Moon needed to be transformed onto the new creative sphere to set the stage for Earth humanity. During the middle of the third Earth round, Exusia, those Spirits of Conception, took hold of Earth Evolution and began charging the Earth sphere with the magnetic, or chemical ether that in the then three-fold Earth man would form the conceptual body primed with the forces of the I Am revelation.
The conceptual body is nothing without Spirit, just as the astral body is obsolete without Soul and the essential body bares merely a compulsory shell without the vital body to enliven it. All three bodies are activated through I consciousness. In this early stage of development, the conceptual body was a holding form for the four- fold future awakened Mankind.
During the third Earth round, the environment was still misty and ethereal as Exusia prepared the conceptual form. The astral body that had first been prepared on Ancient Moon, the vital body that had been first prepared on Ancient Sun, and the essential body that had emerged in rudimentary form on Ancient Saturn were brought into further developments as spirits of the Third Celestial Tier, Archai, Archangels and Angels, advanced within their choirs through merit-oriented dedications that affected Earth and humanity. For the most part, all progress was made as though from the outside looking in because the active beings of the nine heavenly realms had advanced beyond the human experience.
On Ancient Moon, the human body had developed to an animated state that Angels had been able to incarnate and that reflected the liberated Moon experience. During the third Earth round, the human form could only express impulsive, animal-like lower instincts in relation to that time. The earthly form was still being prepared for the awakening human soul, and Mankind had yet to permeate the earthly body from within in a way that led to a mastering of the physical form.
As we recall, during Moon Evolution, the Moon became detached from the Sun in a development that Steiner refers to as the Extrusion of the Sun. At the end of the Ancient Moon timeframe, a drop in density occurred that marked the beginnings of Kali Earth. During the third round of Kali Earth Evolution, the Sun extrusion was experienced as an astral phenomenon, and the battle that had taken place on Ancient Moon due to the misaligned forces of Spirits of Hindrance played out within the lives of higher spiritual beings who were connected to Earth Evolution. A likeness of that time can be seen in the Enuma elish, the story of Babylonian Creation.
An internal drop in Earth density brought a division of seven epochs to Earth Evolution, and the Extrusion of the Sun was remembered in ethereal form toward the end of the second Earth epoch and into the third Earth epoch. So we are dealing with the Extrusion of the Sun during the Ancient Moon World, a separation of the sun as an astral phenomenon during the third Kali Earth round, and the sun that separated out from Earth as an ethereal phenomenon during the second and third Earth epochs that coincided with the emergence of the Lemurian timeframe.
Each Earth round is reset, in a way, by a short pralaya, or night between rounds. As a result, life progresses and transforms through the integrity of collected developments. During the first epoch of the Kali Earth round, a Saturn-like stage designed for the developments of the human body slowly materialized. This Saturn- like epoch was the first of seven more condensed and refined evolutionary periods that would occur during the central Kali Earth timeframe, and it positioned humanity in a deeper, more isolated experience. However, this first epoch was still highly spiritualized, and the human form gradually became incorporated in the most refined way, in what was a plasma existence of pure ethereal matter. This began as an akasha state, what is often said to be an arupa, or a thought-oriented formless beginning. A long, infant-like mineral-physical progression took place, and life was held in a womb-like environment as vibrational harmonies serenaded the landscape and encouraged developments. Life in sensory form emphasized hearing and touch, and reproduction occurred as a type of cell division with a complete incarnation passing from one form to the next, so that all the earliest impulses of Earth humanity were connected.
Following the Saturn-inspired Earth epoch, a Sun-like epoch materialized, and the refined human form was permeated with conscious harmonies that enlivened the mineral body with vital forces. Light and sight and instinctual intelligence were emphasized, as well as glandular developments that stored and distributed the impressions of the cosmos. Memories of the sun’s extrusion had been imprinted on the cosmic timeline, and the gaseous-like bodies being prepared during that time were instinctively urged upright as the sun began to ethereally separate from Earth. This slow ethereal event introduced space between the heavenly realms in a way that distinguished the planetary spheres.
If watching from afar, one would see the human physical body slowly develop. Human glands and internal organs matured and evolved so that reproductive instincts took in frequencies of the Earth, and creative instincts took in frequencies of the sun. Earthly forces penetrated the human body from within and held it accountable to the evolutionary process while solar forces shaped the human form in response to the evolutionary process. The developing bodies of humanity were held safely within the arms of Creation, but no longer in a womb. Life was full and long as celestial beings worked to generate prosperity within the human form through reproductive creativity. The bodies of Mankind were led in a somnambulist-like existence by higher spirits working to nurture and protect human developments.
After another inter-epoch pralaya, the third Earth epoch began, marking the descending Moon stage of mankind and the Lemurian timeframe. This was a childhood, pre-adolescent-like stage for Earth humanity that secured the astral- emotional body as inspired by the energetic markings of what took place on Ancient Moon. Much of what we know about Lemuria comes from Steiner’s lectures. Gigi Young has been diving into the subject as well and setting our accounts of Lemuria in order. I am going to add to the information through a brief study of Lemuria using the cosmic timeline and what we know about the Moon evolutionary sphere, which, as the third creative world, had an impact on Lemurian developments.
During the Lemurian epoch, Spirits of Conception were still working rather intimately with humanity to brighten the conceptual form and prepare the human body on Earth to receive the active soul. Conscious activities were urged, and the Am—what we can consider the active verb of human individuality as connected to the ego—was being integrated in an instinctual way.
The nurturing aspect during Lemurian evolution was a deeper expression of the nurturing aspect that had supported life developments on Ancient Moon. The female-Venus held the male-Mars, so that securing feminine persuasions cradled and protected enlivening masculine activities, and the masculine, in turn, strengthened and affirmed the developing feminine. For Lemurians, these developments occurred at a basic level and set the stage for a future Earth humanity.
The foundation of Lemurian life was receptive—feminine, while the forces working through the nurturing aspect were an outward-creative expression. The reigning Exusia worked to build up the human form, which, by all accounts, was still androgynous. The human body was highly malleable, but the world was contracting, and soon cell-like division would no longer be sustainable. Reproductive energies were stimulated that encouraged the separation of parent from child, and new life experiences began to emerge. The ethereal landscape that defined this time was a bright paradise, a heavenly garden fertilized through inspired activities within the lower heavens and designed to nurture human developments as long as humanity stayed within that higher ethereal arena and protected from denser and more isolated earthly conditions.
While the sun was still entwined with Earth, the human body was highly spiritualized and therefore of a state that was beyond the developments of a more densified landscape. Early Lemurians would have stayed in a radiant, infant-like existence had the sun not separated. Alas, the sun lifted away and left Earth entwined with the unfolding energies of the moon. This was a solar event that nudged humanity deeper into the Kali Earth stage where life activities were isolated from higher spiritual forces.
As the sun separation from Earth, strained and complex events that had taken hold on Ancient Moon relating to the Battle In Heaven seeped into the liberating Lemurian experience. As a result, life came with built in complications. Earth was left in the clutches of regressive moon energies that set the human experience back. Luciferic impressions circulated into Lemurian developments, and the landscape was plagued with tumultuous challenges. As long as the moon was entwined with Earth, the progress of Mankind was hindered due to the moon’s regressive effects. Remedying this, the Heavens set the moon on course to separate from Earth. This slow lunar extrusion introduced more space between each heavenly realm, and the organized hierarchies took on more fixed positions in the Heavens in relationship to planet Earth.
An interchange of activities played out on Earth resulting from stimulating solar frequencies and regressive lunar frequencies prior to the sun and moon extrusions. For a time, solar forces over stimulated life activities to the point of exhaustion until a separation from the sun and perceived fall from the heavens brought a sense of release. Life was also burdened for a time with intoxicating dense pressures until a separation from the moon and perceived elevation brought a sense of release. Both solar and lunar exchanges dramatized the human experience and opened a doorway for Lucifer and Ahriman to more intensely engage with humanity.
Luciferic spirits worked upon the emotions of Mankind during the Lemurian timeframe and stimulated solar memories that prematurely prompted Lemurians into elevated expressions. Those Lemurians rejected natural developments and began acting like demigods. These false heroes created a world out of their delusions, and as they circulated onto the Atlantean stage, helped to bring catastrophe to that time.
Ahrimanic influences were more persuasive during the Atlantean epoch when humanity was beginning to take on the conceptual form. Ahrimanic spirits worked upon the developing minds of humanity, which were still filled with innocence yet void of certain heavenly impressions that were no longer available to them. Ahriman stimulated lunar memories and with them a sense of betrayal resulting from forces that were thrust upon humanity by the battle that took place in the Heavens and that they had not invited upon themselves. Ahriman exploited Lemurian sensitivities in a way that only a satan could, and manipulated worldly events to convince humanity that he was their salvation. Based on our memories of the Atlantean catastrophe, many people of that time believed him.
The inverted forces of Lucifer and Ahriman tainted the Living Impulse of Earth so that extreme activities would work upon humanity like a pendulum that, to this day, pulls us into false enlightenments so that we fall back and double down on regressive dogmatic beliefs. However, we are alive on the upside of the Kali timeframe, and through our intentions as aligned with higher guidance, we can carve a way out of the briar patch of inverted forces.
Within our solar university, each heavenly choir is designated a planet in support of their evolutionary developments and in a way that is connected to the complexities of Kali Earth. Lower hierarchical spirits who had fallen behind and who were caught up in the distortions of Kali Earth did not so willingly recognize their evolutionary disciplines and brought confusion to the realms while they were still attached to Earth. Those devolved spirits in their still more lofty positions could barely relate to Mankind, and many of them disregarded their duties to help elevate Earth humanity into more righteous positions of authority.
Earth is the designated realm of Mankind by design, and as we progress as the Tenth Heavenly Choir, we are meant to move into harmonious authority of Earth. With this said, prior to the Moon’s extrusion, something rather amazing happened in the lives of Earth humanity. Lemurians responded emotionally and therefore magnetically to heavenly influences, and certain human souls became dynamically attached to other planetary spheres as those spheres were separating from Earth.
As a result of a blending of influences, some early Lemurians formed resonating bonds with the life activities of another realm within the solar system and became more strongly associated with the corresponding planet. These great ancestors of ours connected themselves to the materialized sphere of the realm of which they were devoted and, through their long lives, developed inner potentialities that allowed them to evolve onto the sphere of which they had been attracted as that realm further detached from Earth. In that way, human souls were able to escape into the heavens for a while and avoid incarnating onto Earth while lunar events were still burdening evolution. They were able to pass to the other planet rather than incarnate onto Earth. Reproductive energies were one of the compelling forces. The securest of earthly souls remained directly connected to Earth during that time.
After the moon separated from Earth, it no longer exacted such a harsh, calcifying influence, and Earth was prepared to support the souls of Mankind. Those humans who were patiently awaiting an earthly incarnation found proper portals onto Earth, owing their incarnations to Adam and Eve who, as a result of their premature excursions into density, had strengthened their bloodlines within the substantial world. The human form was still highly ethereal at that time with a developing astral body that brought about diversified life expressions.
As human souls began to fully incarnate on Earth, and as a result of the separation of the Moon event, feminine and masculine energies were charged within the body depending on the associations of the incarnating soul. This continued throughout most of Lemurian evolution and into the Moon development of the Atlantean epoch, the third Atlantean period, which, based on my understanding, coincided with a physical Extrusion of the Moon. In order for the feminine and the masculine to be fully expressed while in a densifying Kali sphere, creative forces needed to be properly prioritized within the body. For this to happen, a division of the sexes needed to occur, and this evolutionary development coincided with the separation of the Moon from Earth. Earth was then free to evolve at a more measured pace and in ways that reflected the soul potentials of Earth humanity.
During the Atlantean epoch, the essential body became sheathed with a physical appearance, and the human form was able to accept incarnating souls from Venus, Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. Viola also describes beings from Neptune. Such souls developed within the limitations of the different planetary sphere while under the persuasions of the designated choir of beings who governed that realm. Understandably, this brings fresh meaning to those times when we meet someone and feel like we are from two very different planets.
According to Steiner, the influences of the different planetary spheres also helped to shape the various races on Earth. So, to date, we have souls on Earth who had evolved for a time on another planet, and we have the human population as a whole that, after evolving through the Lemurian epoch and then the Atlantean epoch, was guiding into the present Earth stage through planetary forces that helped to shape our ancestral identities.
Viola is quite specific in the timelines she gives for interplanetary incarnations on Earth. She sates that during the Atlantean period of the third sub-race—the waning moon or Lemurian period of Atlantis, Venusians and Martians incarnated on Earth, with some coming in what can be described as spaceships, while Neptunians, Jupiterians and Mercurians incarnated during the fourth sub-race. During the fifth sub-race, which extended from the end of the fourth Atlantean period and into the fifth, Plutoneans came en masse and forced themselves upon Mankind using dark occult techniques.
It is interesting to note the distinction Viola gives between those beings who incarnated on Earth and those who traveled to Earth via spaceships. In the case of the people of Mars, a planet under the authority of Dynamis, influences imposed on the population by Spirits of Hindrance affected evolution on that planet. Earthly souls who had migrated to Mars and who incarnated onto Earth during the third Atlantean period are still present within our population and are our brothers and sisters— rightful citizens of Earth.
However, certain people among the population of Mars took in tainted influences in extreme ways and were responsible for the destruction of that planet. They betrayed the human experience, and rather than humble themselves in accountability and face retribution so that they could be spiritually redeemed and, therefore, continue to evolve in human form, they chose instead to side with Ahriman. They accepted a generic immortality to avoid their karmic debts. These devolved Martians have a long path ahead of them in order to rejoin humanity, and we can hope that some of them chose the redeeming path. The only way that these devolved Martians could escape Mars was via the advanced technologies that had helped to disrupt life activities and it is likely that some of them are helping to enforce the Ahrimanic agenda on Earth. It is understood within certain esoteric communities that those dark Martians who came to Earth via spaceship cannot incarnate into the Earth human body except, perhaps, if the human form is manipulated so that it can hold the synthetic experience—the false enlightenment that they embody.
It is not through coincidence but by design and the natural effects of the Law of Circular Form that our attentions are being pulled toward Mars as of late. As a united humanity, we are in denial of our evolutionary past, and this has made us vulnerable to manipulative, devolved beings who already have knowledge of that past. The destruction of Mars is working its way into our memories, which will be exploited by crafty opportunists if we are not careful.
The United States is a diverse community of people that can become an elevated nation of humanitarian progress. Yet, tainted influencers in positions of high authority have exploited our ignorances and our generosities, and have pushed destruction throughout the world in our name and without concern. They reveal their agenda through the lies and manipulations that they constantly promote.
The three Divine Laws that have been described in these lectures set the foundation for human developments as we move into an intuitive age and engage more fully in the creative buildup of our world. We are emerging as more conscious creative developers. Many of the amazing feats of Mankind’s past that were accomplished through the instinctual inspirations of higher beings have circulated out of the timeline to emerge anew through conscious inspirations. Yet, if we look closely, it appears that dark personalities are leading the charge on the world stage through creative developments that serve a misguided few and that push blame and discord unto the rest of us. Through our misalignments and misunderstandings, we are creating energetic misfortunes, asuras that perpetuate violence and unrest on and through Mankind. Tainted personalities would avoid responsibility and maintain power while pointing their fingers at We the United People. The unrest they have caused in the Middle East and elsewhere is an attempt to force God’s hand. And of course, God’s hand cannot be forced by humanity, so what these war-mongering cheerleaders seem to be really doing is ushering in a false savior, an antichrist, either by ignorance or by choice.
In her descriptions of planetary types, which I will dive into with more scrutiny in the next episode, Viola defines motivation and evolution from a spiritualized perspective that involves the spiritual education of Mankind and that I feel is worth sharing here. She states:
Motivation involves a line of development through many incarnations of the individual, of his attitude toward the human kingdom and responsibility to it, of his understanding of the great process of the universe—the plan and purpose on this planet, specifically, and his relatedness to it. Motivation deals with the relatedness to plan and purpose, and man as an individual with his own free will accepts this relatedness and responds to it.
Evolution in consciousness may be defined as that level of “idea frequencies” to which the individual can respond. He can, therefore, be put in an educational grade where ideas in the frequency band to which he can respond can be presented to him.
Our resonances with Truth and our strengthened connections with the higher worlds allow us to mature as a people so we can elevate our nation into an earthly position of stewardship and mediation, and in that way put in check the corrupt practices of destructive, war-mongering Ahrimanic actors. The Untied States has the potential of serving as a holding form of Grace, meaning a nation of merit-oriented inspiration on Earth. Our acknowledgements of the higher realms and those spiritual beings who have helped to shape our world will bring clarity into our lives so that we can hold more mature positions of understanding and action during this time.
Take care, Everyone,
