(01:19:30) (ron) TAURUS - “I SEE AND WHEN THE EYE IS OPENED, ALL IS ILLUMINED”
(01:19:54) (ron) In the constellation Taurus, we find the most materialistic impulses and desires ultimately transcend into the light of illumination and revelation. The enlightened mind is the gift acquired when one transforms desire into spiritual
(01:20:17) (ron) aspiration. In the early lives of Taurus expression, desire rules the thought life, coupled with the bold determination and strong will needed to acquire that which is desired.
(01:20:40) (ron) The most fixed or stable of the earth signs, Taurus has the ability to stay fixed and steady upon a goal — undoubtedly this is a strength of Taurus yet can also be a weakness, demonstrating as stubbornness and the inability to let go. The Taurus individual can also be very willful and strong-minded as their personality is on the
(01:21:07) (ron) first ray. In fact, the star Aldebaran, the "eye of the bull" in Taurus, is known as the place where the will of God is known. The evolved Taurean has an enormous capacity to visualize and manifest, powered up by their sun placement’s alignment with this stellar point of force.
(01:21:46) (ron) A potent blend of energies renders the Taurus individual capable of accomplishing much ... unfortunately, for many it is the acquisition of things that is the goal. The love of comfort and a sense of security through the possession of things are quite prevalent in many Taureans, and represent a major challenge.
(01:21:58) (Raleigh) may interject ron pls
(01:22:17) (ron) All types of desire including sexual are associated with the sex center or second chakra of the human energy system, and many Taureans are labeled sensual and sexually potent. This can be the downfall of many a well-intentioned Taurus individual. Over-identification with the form life and with the comforts of life are real
(01:22:45) (ron) distractions for these personalities, as is giving sex too much emphasis in life. Only when the bull of desire is mastered and sexual forces controlled can the disciple progress towards initiation. Eons of time and many
(01:22:57) (Raleigh) 1st center ron
(01:23:05) (ron) incarnations are needed to raise the Taurean frequencies to this level — the lure of the lower nature (animal self), particularly of sexual attraction, is very great.
(01:23:05) (Raleigh) the motor
(01:23:38) (Raleigh) the 1st center ron
(01:23:39) (ron) In advanced humanity incarnating in Taurus, desire is ultimately transmuted into aspiration eventually leading to light and illumination. When the eye of the bull is opened (the spiritual third eye), "thy whole body shall be full of light," as Christ stated in the New Testament (Matthew 6:22). This single eye takes the place of the two eyes of the
(01:23:39) (Raleigh) red chachra
(01:24:20) (ron) personal self, as the attention becomes focused upon spiritual attainment. When the soul acts as the controlling factor, and not the desiring personality, then the whole body becomes full of light.
(01:24:45) (ron) The Buddha is associated with Taurus, said to have been born under this sign. A cornerstone of his teaching, the Buddha's 4 Noble Truths, is how to handle desire and gain liberation from the suffering caused by desiring anything. A wonderful mantram for Taurus is "giving it up to the universe," learning to surrender to the greater
(01:25:17) (ron) Will of Spirit and giving up control of the little personal will. In Taurus is also found a burning desire to know and to gain knowledge through experience. Again, we find a connection to the Buddha’s teaching in his example of developing mind as a means to attain enlightenment.
(01:27:11) (ron) Aries, Taurus, and Capricorn are the great transformers under the great creative plan, and act as catalysts. Each of them opens a door into one of the three divine centers of expression which are the symbols in the body of the
(01:27:47) (ron) planetary logos of the three higher centers in man: the head, the heart and the throat. Taurus, representing the Soul, opens the door into the Hierarchy and guards the secret of light and confers illumination upon the initiate.
(01:29:14) (ron) Fertility and creativity are also keynotes of Taurus, and light, illumination and sound as expressions of this creative force are connected with this constellation. The "interpreter of the divine voice," as Taurus was called in ancient Egypt, can be paraphrased into Christian terminology and called the "Word made flesh." The end result of the
(01:30:12) (ron) work undertaken in Taurus, and the result of its influence, is the glorification of matter: the transmuting of the less than perfect parts of ourselves into material that in no way hinders the light of the soul pouring through.
(01:31:01) (ron) When the vehicles have been purified completely, then the light does indeed shine through. This is why the moon is traditionally exalted in Taurus ... the lesser luminary represents the form or matter. The Taurean process ultimately produces the purified being, who radiates the light perfectly. Through the influence of Venus, the ruler
(01:31:34) (ron) of this sign and ever the symbol of earthly and heavenly love, and both spiritual aspiration and carnal desire, the evolved disciple born in Taurus ultimately embodies only the love aspect. No longer ruled by desire of any kind, they manifest love and create beauty through the arts or the quality of their lives. Because of this Venusian influence, Taurus embodies the second ray energy of Love and Wisdom.
(01:32:17) (ron) The power of attraction is connected with second ray energy, and again this fits Taurus — as the star group the Pleiades, among them Alcyone, found in the shoulder of the Bull, is called the central sun of our universe. It is said our solar system with many others revolve around this star, clearly demonstrating astronomically its attractive
(01:33:11) (ron) powers. The Pleiades are the symbol of the soul around which the wheel of life revolves. Perhaps this helps explain the association of the Bull with "light." Taurus is literally plugged in to the enormous light of the seven hotly burning blue-white stars of the Pleiades, acting as a channel or gateway to the light of this tremendous center.
(01:36:21) (ron) In the Labors of Hercules, the second great test, that which pertained to Taurus, took place in the maze in which the Minotaur lived on the island of Crete. The maze has always been the symbol of the great illusion or the state of separation that bewilders and confuses unevolved humanity. The bull represented animal desire, and Hercules’s
(01:37:11) (ron) task was to capture and deliver it to the mainland. From the disciple's point of view, the bull of desire has to be caught and mastered and chased from one point to another in the life of the separated self, until the time comes
(01:37:56) (ron) when the aspirant can do what Hercules succeeded in doing: ride the bull. To ride an animal, in the ancient myths, signifies control. The bull is not slaughtered, it is ridden and guided, and under the disciple’s mastery.
(01:39:49) (ron) Ride, control and master the bull reflects the phase when the disciple lives with group awareness and begins to consider the question, "What is best for the group with which I am associated?" It is by doing this that the bull is ridden to the mainland, and destructive desire, with its million distractions, conquered.
(01:40:16) (ron) sometimes, i think we that concept here
(01:41:01) (ron) Finally, the major task for this sign is to master the Law of Attraction and not be a slave to the lower desires of possessions and sexuality ... in this way Taurus controls and uses matter correctly, with spiritual values motivating. In this fashion matter is "raised up into heaven," and free at last of the hold of maya and illusion.
(01:42:24) (ron) do you want me to move on to Gemini?
(01:42:31) (Blu) ok
(01:42:45) (ron) GEMINI - "I RECOGNIZE MY OTHER SELF AND IN THE WANING OF THAT SELF I GROW AND GLOW"
(01:43:25) (ron) THE CENTRAL FLAME
(01:43:41) (ron) The following material on Gemini is from "The Pilgrimage of Necessity" by Frances Adams Moore, reprinted 2000 by Meditation Groups, Inc.
(01:44:06) (ron) Gemini brings the process much closer to the physical plane of expression. Gemini creates the patterns which will emerge finally as visible forms. Gemini is the design-maker, the weaver of patterns of force and energy. It is the beginning of duality, of the separation in consciousness, of intercommunication between polarities. Gemini has been called The Way of Many Changes.
(01:45:01) (Raleigh) design maker / why
(01:45:04) (ron) ok...just Gemini?
(01:45:18) (Roz) yes please
(01:45:31) (ron) ok
(01:45:46) (Raleigh) roz is as my cheryl as well / gemini
(01:45:50) (Roz) ty
(01:45:56) (ron) At this stage, the separate seekers for the Grail might be said to meet and separate again, as each creates his own path. The All consciousness of the Source, perhaps, begins to sense differences within itself. This emerging sense
(01:46:22) (ron) of difference represents the first cleavage in consciousness. Individuality, the separation of the unit from the Whole, of the spark from the Central Flame, is now sensed.
(01:47:08) (ron) The long period of "interior thought and mystical longing; the training after the vision," the longing for knowledge, for experience, the "spasmodic attempts at self-discipline, at prayer and meditation, precede the determination for real and steady effort."
(01:47:14) (Raleigh) how does the grail involve gemini
(01:47:27) (ron) understand, the quest for
(01:47:35) (Raleigh) hmmm k
(01:47:38) (ron) understanding, the quest for
(01:47:44) (Raleigh) k ty
(01:48:18) (diane) grail may be a figure of speach here. like, the ultimate goal?
(01:48:31) (ron) The tests of Aries and Taurus behind, the separated unit has to register in his or her brain-consciousness the fact that he or she is not only an expression of divinity or deity, but is also individual and unique and must now begin to differentiate between the two aspects of expression. The soul aspect makes its impact, but is not yet a reality in consciousness.
(01:49:21) (Roz) the cup of the pineal the Christed center
(01:49:31) (ron) yes, diane..the ultimate goal
(01:49:47) (ron) yes again

(01:51:04) (diane) whatever best for you
(01:51:04) (Roz) beautiful ron thanbks
(01:51:13) (Raleigh) yes ron / ty
(01:51:17) (ron) CANCER - "I BUILD A LIGHTED HOUSE, AND THEREIN DWELL"
(01:51:20) (diane) awesome, really
(01:51:36) (Roz) indeed diane
(01:51:47) (ron) CANCER - BUILDING A HOUSE FOR THE SOUL
(01:51:54) (Raleigh) so roz you gemini / i never knew / :)
(01:52:07) (db) im Cancer
(01:52:17) (ron) In the constellation Cancer, we find a doorway into incarnation for souls to gain the experience needed for their evolution. All human lives begin here. Indeed, no soul escapes the need to incarnate. In Cancer one is bound to be limited within the form in order to learn from life’s experiences. Ultimately, we must come to the realization life is
(01:53:10) (ron) beyond the form experience—we do not belong in the spiritual sense to the form life and eventually we orient ourselves to the life of the spirit, the real everlasting life.
(01:54:57) (ron) The crab protects itself within its hard shell, even carrying this defense with it wherever it goes ... therefore the protection becomes a limitation. The crab’s pincers serve as tools as well as protective defenses. These pincers detangle the astral currents of the mass consciousness of humanity. Learning to differentiate between one’s own
(01:55:38) (ron) feelings and everybody else’s is a major challenge for the extraordinarily sensitive Cancer native. This extremely sensitive side can be a great detriment for those born under the sign of Cancer, resulting in over-reactiveness, and overly-emotional behavior.
(01:56:29) (ron) Incarnation also forges many bonds: of love, obligation, karmic responsibility. The energy of Cancer rules this commonality of the human experience ... all people belong somewhere, to the family unit, or a larger group,
(01:56:56) (ron) experiencing to some degree the sense of belonging we all need to function as human beings. Ruled by the moon, always the mother of form, Cancer also controls the waters and the tides, representing the astral plane, the realm of
(01:57:23) (ron) feelings and emotions. Association with the past and mother are also seen—Mother, as doorway into life, mirrors the Cancerian doorway into life for souls.
(01:58:05) (ron) For the unevolved being, Cancer is all about mass consciousness, the instinctual side of human development, and the opposite of group consciousness. The average Cancer native is immersed in the mass experience where instinct rules and the realm of the subconscious mind and collective imagination; an unconscious part of the great whole.
(01:59:02) (ron) Yet at the same time, Cancerians are subject to the urge to lift themselves out of the mass instinctual life and to develop the intuition. As one becomes more influenced by the light of the Soul, less and less personality reaction is demonstrated, until ultimately emotional reaction is superseded by the life of true and inclusive love indicative of soul control.
(02:00:04) (ron) There are no bright stars in the constellation Cancer, so befitting a sign of retreat and hiding. At the very center lies a cluster of stars modern astronomers call the Beehive, perhaps representing the mass consciousness of humanity, the collective mind.
(02:00:34) (Whiteraven) back This is awesome Ron the first time I have ever found astrology interesting and relevant ....But I have to go drive my kids to school ....I'll be back..... Blessings
(02:00:44) (ron) what a good interpretation of the beehive
(02:00:53) (Blu) interesting
(02:01:22) (ron) In the mythology of the Cancer Labor of Hercules, the legend has Hercules chasing after the doe claimed both by Diana, the huntress of the heavens, and Artemis, goddess of the moon. After searching for a lifetime, he finally brought the deer before the gods to discover it belonged to another yet. The doe was not Diana’s (the intellect), nor
(02:01:40) (Raleigh) oh i like this ron
(02:02:31) (ron) Artemis’s (the instinct), but was claimed by the sun god Apollo as the brilliant shining light of the intuition. The intellect, born out of instinct, is a means to develop this higher quality, the intuitive vision of the Soul. For this is a sign of fusion, in this case the fusion of the physical body and the Soul. The different stages of this fusion are
(02:03:18) (ron) reflected, for undeveloped humanity, in the individual unit as blind; in advanced humanity, as the individual awakens to the energies flowing all around them; and in the initiate, we find the awareness of the Whole, seen as one.
(02:03:31) (Raleigh) may comment pls
