Creating a New Civilization:
The Aquarian Age Emerging

We live in an amazing time anticipated by the Spiritual Hierarchy of our planet ever since its founding some eighteen million years ago. The cycles are changing. The old is giving way to the new. Unprecedented opportunities face humanity and the planet. The Aquarian Ages (both lesser 2500 years and greater 25,000 years) are emerging!

The old Piscean Civilization is rapidly coming undone. The Tibetan Teacher, Master DK, tells us that during the 21st century it will be “entirely removed”. Within a hundred years or so the racial cycle of the sixth ray will have faded out of incarnation and the seventh ray will have achieved complete manifestation.

These are momentous happenings and they are inevitable, but will these changes bring good or calamity for humanity and the planet—or both? Although the spiritual promise is extraordinary, the immediate outcome is far from certain. Humanity has its definite and vital role to play and its response to the g reat incoming energies and the changing cycles cannot be dictated or controlled by the Forces of Light.

As modern, progressive human beings, we are to act as intelligently as possible to make sure that the transition into the Aquarian Age occurs in a manner which accords with the beneficent Divine Plan. The God of our Planet, the Planetary Logos, is taking initiation and is moving rapidly into a condition of sacredness. This will ultimately mean a great elevation for humanity and for the lives of the three lower kingdoms of nature. Can we help these beneficent changes occur? Can we become co-creators in this great process of planetary transition? Can we do our fair share in bringing forth the “wonder” of the New Age?

Our coming Seven Ray Institute/University of the Seven Ray Conference occurs in the year 2010—numerologically a three. We will be placing emphasis on the Third Ray of Creative Intelligence (the name which the Tibetan Teacher prefers for this ray—this ray called “the acute energy of divine mental perception”). Under the third ray, the study of human and planetary cycles is undertaken. It is the great astrological ray, as well as the ray under which the amazing history of our planet and the root-races of humanity are revealed. The third ray is also the ray of philosophical enquiry through which humanity seeks to understand the “reason for it all." As well, in these times when the financial and economic situation of the human race is so unbalanced, so precarious, it is the ray intimately related to the right use of that form of concretized energy we call “money”.

We can see how wide-ranging are the subjects which are the focus of the forthcoming USR/SRI Conference — Creating a New Civilization: The Aquarian Age Emerging. Together, in deep group meditation and through illuminating lectures and workshops, we will attempt to determine, through study of the great Science of Cycles, “what time it is” on our planet; how cycles of planetary and even cosmic importance are now converging to indicate our immediate task in the manifestation of the Divine Plan. As disciples of the Masters of Wisdom and as aspirants towards the spiritual life, we want to know what we can do now—using our growing creative intelligence—to act so intelligently and so skillfully that the transition into the new Aquarian Civilization can occur as the Divine Plan intends.

The focus of our conferences is always on the trinity of spiritual will, spiritual love and spiritual intelligence. This year, the development of spiritual intelligence, divinely creative intelligence, will be our special focus and we will seek to understand and be inspired by the Hierarchy’s Department of Civilization, the Department of the Mahachohan (the Master R.) under whose guidance and “management” both Hierarchy and Humanity, together, are creating a new and spiritual civilization.

We warmly invite you to attend the 24th Annual Conference of the SRI and USR: Creating a New Civilization: The Aquarian Age Emerging. Our Pre-Conference will be held from Saturday, April 10th to April 14th.

During Pre-Conference we will have our usual Esoteric Astrology Workshop, our Ceremonial Magic Workshop and this year, as well, a new Esoteric Healing Workshop. We will also have New Esoteric Schools Day sponsored by the Morya Federation of Esoteric Schools of Meditation — the Internet expression of the USR — to honor the excellent esoteric school initiatives which are now in process of unfoldment internationally.

The Conference, itself, held at the Dobson Ranch Inn, in Mesa, Arizona, will begin on the evening of April 14th and will last until the early afternoon of Sunday, April 18th.

Join us friends! Let us do all we can to create the new and coming Aquarian Civilization. We can begin now!

Esoteric Astrology Pre-Conference
Cycles of Creativity: Weaving the Tapestry of our Lives  

April 10 - 12, 2010

Integral to the study and practice of esoteric astrology is the great Science of Cycles. Our lives take place in the midst of thousands of energy cycles, ebbing and flowing, each providing us with the energies and forces we need to build ourselves into soul-infused individuals—creatively, intelligently—and then subsiding once the cycle of opportunity has passed, only to begin again on a higher turn of the spiral."How can we use esoteric astrology to become more aware of the intertwined cycles of our lives—both astrological and rayological?  How can know where we stand in the progression of the important cycles which condition the opportunities and challenges presented to us?  

At the coming Esoteric Astrology Workshop, Cycles of Creativity: Weaving the Tapestry of our Lives we will place special emphasis upon the meaning of transits, solar-arc progressions and solar-arc directions, as well as other lesser known cycles of real importance (individual ray cycles, for instance), in order to unravel the complex mystery of our lives. Then we will take the liberated threads of energy and seek to understand how we may weave them into a tapestry of beauty, reflecting that part or the Grand Design which is ours as the Divine Plan emerges into manifestation.

Whether you are new to esoteric astrology or already a deep student of this great science—join us! Our international team of seasoned esoteric astrologers has illuminating teaching to offer for every level of astrological understanding. We look forward to working with you!
