DIWALI – return of the sun of Alcyone

The word Diwali comes from the Sanskrit word “deepavali”, which means “rows of lighted lamps”. Households across India and the entire world celebrate by decorating their sacred space filled with small lamps called diyas and other colourful lights.

By covering everything by festive lighting and our hearts beat to the dazzling fireworks to go off, creating a spectacle of affirmation and light within. This helps to scare away evil spirits and celebrate the victory of good over evil.

 

“In Hindu mythology, the cosmic egg is the pre-existential form of Brahma, and defines the spiritual plane beyond the being and non-Being, as well as the known and unknown.” – unknown source

THE RETUN of the Sun Of ALCYONE 

On November 22nd of each year, right on the line of passage between the Signs of Scorpio and Sagittarius, a fundamental direction between solar and cosmic Centers is turned on: this Day is that Degree of the orbital revolution that sees our Earth aligned between the central volcano/Vulcan of the Sun and the other “Central Sun” Alcyone of the Pleiades.

According to the esoteric Tradition, Alcyone is the Origin and central pivot of the Seven solar systems (the cosmic Septenary) of which ours is part.

 

Our Earth, seen from the Sun, therefore flies in the heavenly field qualified by the stars of the Bull, of which the open cluster of the Pleiades is ‘part’.

The Stars of the “onward rushing” Animal are referred to as the cosmic Sources of Light, the rhythmic impulse of Fire.

The Bull is Horus, the fruit of the relationship between Isis and Osiris, the unceasingly desired Son ‘faced’ by the Hunter Orion, the heavenly Osiris, together with His divine Spouse Sirius/Isis, the Sun of Suns.

In particular, the bright Pleiades Chariot, led by the central Alcyon. It hurtles through the cosmic flashes of the Bull and the ‘initiatory’ ones of the celestial Ram. It is another sacred and impetuous Animal/constellation which still gives the name to the First sector or Sign of the celestial cycle and coordinates. The Ram/Aries is the Beginning, despite the fact that Its stars no longer stand (for the phenomenon of the precession of equinoxes) behind the apparent Sun. On the “first day of spring”, now lined up between the stars of the Fishes and those of the Bringer of Water (the coming “New Age”).

Similarly, the Tradition identifies the Seven Sisters as the Spring Stars. (from the Latin Vergiliae)They were ruling (with Aldebaran, the Eye of the Bull) the Equinox at the Beginning of a major Cycle (the Kali Yuga of 432,000 years.

Bhagavad Gita

“Those who know that the day of Brahma, the god of creation, lasts for a thousand ages, and that his night lasts another thousand, only these know in truth that it is Day and Night.

With the arrival of day, the entire visible universe emerges from the invisible; in the same way that when the night comes, the entire creation disappears, dissolving into the invisible.

Just as living creatures, countless in number, come to life again and again, they all inevitably disappear when their night of darkness comes, only to rise again when their new day comes.

But more, beyond, above this visible and invisible creation, there is an Unmanifested, Superior and Eternal Principle. It remains and will remain for centuries, even when everything has disappeared.

This unmanifest essence is called “the Imperishable”. It is the highest, the Supreme End.

This is My Supreme Abode, those who arrive at It never return.”

THE SUN HAS ALCYONE, IN THE PLEIADES

“The Sun (that is, the solar system) has Alcyone, in the Pleiades, as the center of its orbit.”

It is said that the Pleiades are the vehicle of manifestation of the “Third Aspect” (Substance-Appearance) of a Great Cosmic Being. The Great Bear (First Aspect: Spirit-Life) and the Little Bear (Second Aspect: Soul-Quality) through the “local” regency of Sirius (reflection of the Second Aspect), gave Origin to the Seven solar Systems of which ours is part.

“The Pleiades are to the solar system, the source of electrical energy, and just as our sun is the embodiment of the heart, or love aspect, of the Logos (Who is Himself the heart of ONE ABOUT WHOM NAUGHT MAY BE SAID) so the Pleiades are the feminine opposite of Brahma the vehicle of the Third Aspect, the Creator.

STAR OF INTELLIGENCE

The energies of the Pleiades, which animate the whole matter of our ‘local’ universe, are therefore in relation to the active Intelligence of our Solar Lord or Logos, and especially the Alcyone star is Its origin, the central magnet of the solar Substance, the cosmic creative “throat center”.

Thus Alcyone is called by the Teaching “the Star of the Individual” or “Star of Intelligence”, and is connected to humanity not only through Taurus, but also Aquarius, the rising Sign of universal Service.

Alcyone/Pleiades

Alcyone/Pleiades is therefore the cosmic source of Light, of creative Intelligence of spatial Substance, and Earth, 3rd Ray, and Humanity, the 3rd planetary Throat Centre, are two of Its direct precipitation and distribution centers.

On the day of Sun-Earth-Alcyone alignment on the Ecliptic, the presence of such focal centers on the same Plan of Love and Light entails the vital impulse for orienting to the heavenly Will and fulfilling the evolutionary and unitary Purpose.
