Part 24
Audience:
I wondered if there is any connection between the seven rays and the astrological signs. Is there any kind of connection with the seven rays and the Rosicrucians seven cycles?
JJ:
Not particularly with the seven cycles but we are given rays that govern astrology. Another art that uses cycles is biorhythms. Anyone ever have their biorhythms done? Using biorhythms you have a physical cycle, an emotional cycle, and a mental cycle. The emotional cycle is twenty-eight days, the mental cycle is a little bit over a month, and they all go on wavelengths. If you have several crossing at the same time on the positive side, that's a really good time to do something that requires extra energy. They can go through and show where the biorhythms are bad. Somebody like Mohammed Ali was fighting a boxing match, that would be when he lost. If the biorhythms were good then he had extra energy to punch the guy out. People that have studied biorhythms show that this Law of Cycles goes in mental, emotional and physical energy, does affect the power that we have.
Astrology works a little bit on the same principle in the fact that it works on this Law of Cycles. But when a person achieves soul contact he becomes unpredictable. Normally we go with cycles. Now what cycle is it that women go with that bothers men to no end?
Audience:
Laughter.
JJ:
Yeah, the moon. They are affected strongly by the moon every twenty-eight days. Now some women are not as affected as others. Some women are really affected a lot. They go through these cycles. If a female really thinks, "I'm going to make up my mind, not to be affected, this month or not to show it." If she uses her will power she can act like everything is cool. If she really uses willpower she can do this right? Or not? You can be unpredictable with the Law of Cycles but normally the female will be fairly predictable with the Law of Cycles during a certain time of the month. Certain times of the month she will be more moody than other times of the month. This Law of Cycles affects us.
The same thing with astrology, the Law of cycles affects us. Normally we go along with it. We are affected by it. We have the impulse to get married. We meet a person. We fall in love and it coincides with the chart. We meet someone. We fall in love. You're going to fall in love and you're receiving this impulse from the lives that are out there. But, what if your soul tells you: no, do not marry this person, he's not good for you. Then suddenly you violate the Law of Cycles. Suddenly you resist all the impulses coming down to you and you do not marry that person and you completely alter all of the predictions around this particular point in your astrological chart.
So here you become unpredictable because you have soul contact and your soul guided you out of that disastrous relationship or maybe into a disastrous relationship depending on if you had a lesson to learn. Once a person achieves soul contact he becomes unpredictable. Even if a person has soul contact, he will be greatly influenced by the power of cycles because the soul will not guide you to go against the Law of Cycles just for the heck of it. It only guides you to do it when there's a purpose in it. For instance, in the Law of Cycles we eat so many times a day, most of us do, but if you decide to go on a fast, you will violate that Law of Cycles and you may not eat for three days. You're going contrary to the Law of Cycles. Contrary to what is predicted for you. Normally, you don't have any reason to go on a fast. If you have soul contact, it will be fairly predictable that you'll eat lunch tonight. All of us are going to eat tonight, that's fairly predictable.
The basic astrology chart will be fairly accurate for most people, even people with soul contact, except in areas where the soul contact leads you away from what is the line of least resistance, away from the Law of Cycles, away from what is expected of you. This happens periodically to the disciple. Because of this, The Tibetan says what the Masters do is to develop these charts on the disciples, so if you're a disciple, an accepted disciple, it means the Masters have astrological charts on you. They are like transparencies overlaid in three or four layers. They can look at the soul and the personality and see how they interplay and they can predict very closely what is going to happen to your life, even the unpredictable parts, from the view points of most astrologers. They can see when the soul is going to guide you in certain ways, because they do an astrological chart of your soul.
Audience:
They really do charts on us?
JJ:
Yes, that's what DK says. So if you are an accepted disciple, they have a big chart on you somewhere.
Audience:
Can't you have those charts done here on earth?
JJ:
No. Nobody knows how to cast one. Matter of fact, he said, no regular astrologer on earth knows how to cast a soul chart, but the Masters do know how to cast it.
Audience:
What's the chart that they do here?
JJ:
It's a personality chart. It's not a soul chart. As far as esoteric astrology, he doesn't give us very much but he does give a few things and we'll cover that. There are three important aspects to Esoteric Astrology that he gives some information: One is the moon, one is the sun and one is the rising sign.
The moon represents the past, the sun sign represents the moment of opportunity in the present and the rising sign represents the future. That is an interesting thing to consider. The moon essentially governs physical form. That essentially goes along with regular astrology which also shows its' very strongly connected with the emotional body. The moon affects us very strongly emotionally, it affects the female aspect especially strongly because the female has a closer connection with the moon than the male does.
You notice that almost all of the people in Wicca have the moon as a very important aspect of their belief system; almost all of them are females who are involved in Wicca, and things like this, because of the female's close connection to the moon. DK says the moon represents the past. If any of you have been in a relationship very long, you'll know that a female never forgets anything you've ever done. (laughter) You can be talking about something with your wife that happened ten years ago where you've kind of screwed up, and they can recount that to the smallest detail... every woman I've ever been involved with can remember to the smallest detail, everything that you did, ten years ago, and twenty years ago. I won't remember it at all.
The male energy is more centered in the future and the female energy more in the past. The blending of the male/female energy, we could say is the present. I find that quite interesting how that is true and how finely tuned the female memory is of what we guys do. You find that to be true Larry? Ask any married man.
Audience:
They say elephants are like this too. And elephants, a huge creature, is usually so gentle; if something happens they'll never forget it. Even years later when he saw this one person . A female can be giving and trying to be understanding. Think of this huge creature, who could easily trample you, is submitting himself.
JJ:
I've never heard of a female compared to an elephant. I'm sure they don't like that comparison.
Audience:
Laughter.
JJ:
I have heard females compared to cats. A dream of a cat is supposed to represent a female. And a dog is supposed to represent a male. Artie thinks a dog is really a good representation of us guys. We're like little puppies that have to be told what to do and house trained.
Audience:
Laughter.
It is the characteristic excellence of the strong man that he can bring momentous issues to the fore and make a decision about them. The weak are always forced to decide between alternatives they have not chosen themselves.
