Delight in being, Delight in being in relationship at the growing edge or the marriage bed, where the Timeless merges with life in the phenomenal world, is the Coronation of Matter. The Eternal expands and is transformed by every individual living in the phenomenal universe. The Un-created finds Its Delight and Self-Reflection where the Eternal and the time-bound intermingle and become what-has-never-been. That is to say, the Un-created delights in Creation. The Original Being delights in our original being when it's rooted in Sacred Purpose.

Every individual has a birthright to this Delight. The Holy says of the celebration, "Coronation is when the Spirit of the Center comes to the now; embodies the now; embraces the now; called forth by the needs of the many. Called forth and summoned, the Spirit of the Center shall bring to you a center; a visible center, a visible sign, to show that which cannot be shown; to speak that which is beyond language, to sing that which is of no sound. The Spirit of the Center shall bring a coronation of the matter within, which is also a reflection of the Spirit Beyond".

Encouraged by that Spirit, I now transform Western culture's constellation of Sagittarius. The image of the centaur with his drawn bow and arrow is to be seen on the surface of a larger oil lamp. This is not hard to do, as Sagittarius is already reminiscent of that form. The centaur's arrow points toward the spout of the lamp and the place of its flame at the spout's extremity. To form the ur-constellation of the Lamp of the Archer, add to Saggitarius the galactic center, called Sagittarius A, by cosmologists. It is a light source that can be seen only by magnification, only by seeing within and beyond the visible. But what a light!

More than 100 billion suns whirl in the flow, in the circulation of the complexity of this recently realized center. Our sun and family of planets are soaring through the heavens at 135 miles per second, but not unguided. We are orbiting Sagittarius A, once every 226 million years. That visible center's emergence in human awareness mirrors an expansive inner awareness or magnification for the West. The shift from the sun as the source of cosmic order to the galactic center as the source of cosmic order, is a symbolic rendering of our culture's rite of passage and new foundation. Completion of our passage shall be symbolized by the100 billion suns of the galactic center. The metaphor of "light now available to individual consciousness" indicates access to higher levels of energy, information, and relations within and beyond. The magnified awareness shall be known and felt. Feel it lead us beyond ourselves, though it surpasses all description.

Let us face the ordeal of the release. That task is for our souls to surrender, as flying arrows surrender, to the direction of their flight, and awaken within evolving goal of the expanding universe. Pain and joy both are part of the passing through. As we approach and understand the new center, let us laughingly, humbly realize that our inner or outer possession of one truth, one law, one Divinity, was too small, grim and mean, only a Seed of the Divine. Let us realize that our historic sense of magnitude in the West was quite miserly compared with the generous abundance of the 13.7 billion year old universe that magnification has revealed.

So, let us no longer be satisfied by the isolation of absolutims. Let us seek instead the embracing of a unity of relatedness. Let us no longer be satisfied by the destruction and degradation of the wholly other. Let us be moved toward the give and take, the respiration of the unity of rhythm, of playfulness. May our hearts now prefer the glow, warmth and closeness of the 100 billion. The many lights are sisters brothers, fathers, mothers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles and cousins, messengers, guides, all fellow travelers on the Journey. Let us no longer fear big numbers of distance, of speed, of size, of energy, nor of age. Even the decoding of the human genome shows that we are more alike than we are different.

I am re-presenting an old pattern that assumes the passage of individual consciousness to the realization that it is one among many, at home in its universe, and reconciled to its own Source, reconciled to its beginning, Purpose and end.

The Holy Says: "To release to that which is greater than I is the fulfillment of all that is. The release is TO the Spirit OF the Center AS a Spirit IN the center. Herein lies a central dilemma: the multitude of lights, the multitude of spirits revolve around the Spirit of the Center, and yet those who live on the plain of existence where you are, seek the lights themselvesand not the Spirit of the center. I shall tell you this quite plainly: A center that is in and of itself is no Spiritual Center. For all True Centers lead to the Great Spirit OF the Center. They lead to embracing, to calling, to wholeness."

So I put forth this 7th heavenly sign, the Lamp of the Archer, a light for our world now, a light showing the cultural foundation, the initiation, and the blossoming of the West in the Age of Magnification. Let us now sing and declare the deep time of the galactic new year.

Uranima

To the constellation, Cassiopeia, a queen sitting in a chair, seek beyond and within for star SAO 21415 at the place of the heart, between Schedar and Caph. She offers a call for consciousness to enter into relationship with the unconscious, for the daytime mind to enter into deeper relationship with intuition and imagination, gaining the symbolic life of the nightime mind. Learning your family history, your national history, your environmental history, geological and cosmological history takes you beyond yourself and into relation with time. Using tools like the Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram, or any psychological instrument takes you beyond yourself and into relation with the deeper layers of your consciousness. Dreams and creativity that inspires, that expands consciousness in the direction of the unconscious, corresponds to the heavenly heart of Uranima.

The Holy says: "One must embrace the power of the woman, the heart of the woman. One must embrace the powerful heart of the woman in the sky. The heart is known by its rhythm; the heart is known, the heart is known. It is felt by the hand. Press your ear to the heart and you shall hear the rhythm of the expansion. Come to the power of the woman, the heart of the woman. What is the unique element of this heart? This center? The unique element is sacrifice. Sacrifice. Yes. Sacrifice in expansion. From the self comes the other. A sacred image you have found. A sacred image you have named. A sacred image you have called. The image of the center and the heart, the unseen and the known, the felt, the call to the sacrifice of the expansion. Set aside the self and know the expansion. Go to the within and discover the beyond, and know the fulfillment.

Eagle-Headed Harp: Vision Through Music

This ur-constellation deepens the ancient constellation, Lyra. The star, Epsilon Lyrae, already contained in the old constellation, when magnified is at first two stars, SAO 67309 and SAO 67315. At higher magnification the two show that they themselves are pairs of stars. The single light of consciousness is fourfold. The Eagle-Headed Harp is an image of that wholeness of mind. It is an awareness that separates and discerns into layers what has been revealed through Uranima. The fourfold understanding is in Hindu, Sufi, Jewish, Buddhist, Native and Christian teachings. They are openly available now in published books. More recently, the writings of Franklin Merrell-Wolff on the Great Space and the work of Anna Wise on The High Performance Mind, use this archetype of four-fold consciousness. Vision Through Music means that musical, symbolic, harmonic, hieroglyphic, artistic ways of communicating, are the most effective ways to express the 4-fold depth. Of this ur-constellation, the Holy says, “The four layers, the four realities, the four stages are known by many. Known by many, In the fourth there is no singularity. In the third there is singularity. They are the stages of creation. Layers of knowledge. Yes. It is a journey, a development, an expansion. And yet I tell you something that is becoming known, even beyond the four there is more. Even beyond the four there is more. Look at the directions. There are four and then there are more. They are Central. The earth and sky. They are Central. For they give birth to the four. So beyond the four there is more. Yes. Beyond the four there are more. And yet the four are foundational. We cannot reject the four; they shall be the guidance. The four. The foundation."

Seth

The walker with his staff pointing to the North Star, Polaris, is the symbol of the initiator, expander of the human heart and consciousness. This ur-constellation includes the two pointer stars of the Big Dipper/Drinking Gourd, and Polaris. Behind and within is to be included a distant spiral galaxy near the pole star. That galaxy is Polarissima Borealis, NGC3172. Seth indicates gnosis, or knowing through personal experience the 4 levels of consciousness expressed in the Eagle-headed harp and in Uranima. It is a knowing that emerges via what the ancient Greeks called the Daimon. The notion of the Daimon is archetypal, so, there are as many names as there are cultures for this semi-divine indicator of why we were born. Polarissima Borealis, hidden and near the apparent center of our sky, represents the Daimon.

That the invisible member is not the center, but near the center symbolizes something fundamental to the Daimon. Though it calls and nudges us with both grace and affliction to bring our gift into relation with the world, centeredness and balance are our responsibility. We must live through it, yet not for it.

Of Seth, the Holy states, "It is a center that is a parent, for it gives birth. It is a center that is a parent, a parent of the soul. One should always honor one's parents even as one grows beyond the parent. One shall know the parent, one shall know the calling and the history and the purpose of the parent. Yes, indeed it is apparent. It is seen and known in the now, and it is a calling to the beyond. It is that which we come through to the existence. Not to be ignored, but to be embraced, for are we not visitors who come through our parents, and yet it is apparent that the parents ground us, call us, and indeed we respond."

Transparent Body of the King

Beyond and within the constellation of Cepheus, are three galaxies and one nebula. They are, IC5132, IC5133, IC5134, and NGC7133, respectively. As in the Eagle-headed Harp, what first appears as one becomes fourfold when magnified. For the individual, this means that you will recognize fellow travelers by the knowledge of your heart. There is a mirroring, a spark of awakeness, a heart response of those awake in creation. There is also a heart's desire to be in community. Knowing your reason for being is incomplete without community where you can give completely and receive completely.

The Holy says of this, "In isolation, there is no strength, there is no comfort, there is no stability, there is no safety. But in the family there is all of this and more. For when there is comfort and stability and safety there is expansion. When there is isolation, there is fear. Come into the family, says the stars, into relation. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Dragon Dissolved, Cities of Light Appearing

The ancient constellation of "Draco the Dragon", when magnified, is seen to contain so much more. To form the ur-constellation of the Dragon Dissolved, 9 distant galaxies are to be added, in and around its body. They are NGC3654, NGC3879, NGC3961, NCG4034, NGC5413, NGC6479, NGC6454, NGC6459, NGC4666. The matter of our world begets terror only when the beyond is not seen behind and within it.

The Holy says in the text of May 6th, 2003: you must see through and beyond the dragon, through and beyond the limitations, through and beyond the ruptures in the fabric, yes! at the foundation of matters, the TOHU a BOHU exists, the Void, the emptiness at the foundation of matters, and yet the Lord God makes of something glorious despite the limitations, within the limitations. You live in the limitation, you live in the physical. is it a dragon? is this limitation a dragon? only if you allow it to be so, only if you do not see through it!, yes, you can rile against the dragon, you can be angry at the mess, you can say, “why is the limitation here? WHO put it here!? I tell you this, that you can see beyond it and through it.

The Tree of Life

To the former constellation of Cygnus add the black hole, Cygnus X-1 which is to be found near the star Eta Cygni, Add also the North American Nebula, NGC7000, and the Pelican Nebula, IC5070. The Northern Cross becomes a tree rooted in the river of the Milky Way, when it is expanded into an ur-constellation. My message to those following the ancient ways is that a new tree is growing in the West, the center of the people is alive and life-giving. What is passed can be released. We can be released from the past when we are ready. Let the hoops or circles of cultures be linked in Wisdom.

The awareness I describe here is spiral, evolutionary, in the sense that it is both historic and archetypal. Caroline Myss describes this light now available as an 8th chakra located above our heads. Wanderers like Michael Dowd and Connie Barlow are ushering in planetary consciousness as the Great Story. Thomas Berry and Brian Swimme call for the Great Work. The spiral, the intermingling of deep time and deep consciousness now occurs in dreams and spiritual experience, in Ian Stevenson's work in biology and re-incarnation where incarnation after incarnation are not pushishments, but opportunities, even delight in playing a part in a great becoming. Richard Moss calls openess and surrender to the larger consciousness, Radical Aliveness. Urrealists call this Urreality or dreamers awakening within a conversation, within a creation that was already going on while they were asleep.

The Holy says, "Four seasons; four realities; four stages of the journey, and yet there are cycles and cycles and cycles of four reflecting the ultimate four. The souls is a tree and the individual is a ring in the tree. Knowing the four, knowing the cycle, feeding the longevity, which is greater than the ring, it is once again the expansion. Foliage come forth and the rings of fruitility, fruitfulness come forth. Then there are times of dry seasons. Will the tree survive such seasons? The strength comes from beyond. This is not a dry season, not for you. It is not a dry season. Many rings are you. Many seasons. You shall not be cut and counted just yet. You shall not be trimmed just yet. The pairing shall come, and you shall know the time of pairing. May you never know the time of cutting. I think you shall not know that time. Such is a reckoning. It is a recycling for the wayward and the dead, the cut off. But nothing is wasted to the Spirit of the Center. No. To the center all is brought. All is revealed, all is renewed. Yes. The dead logs come to the center. And those who die are not always dead. Do you know of what I speak? Those who die and are not dead are not brought to the Center; they are called to the Center. There is a difference. The journey is continued based on the call and response."

May this heavenly tree be reflected in a civil structure where the children of our communities can find shelter and play, safe to develop under the loving care of elders. May those elders know and honor their own life's Purpose. May their Presence bring delight to the life's Purposes of the youth. May this heavenly tree also be reflected in communal caring that honors the cycles of life. May births, deaths, coming together and separation, creation be celebrated.
