The Ninth Labour of Hercules: Sagittarius

Sagittarius is the 9th sign of the zodiac and 9 is the number of initiation.
Sagittarius is also the “9th gate” – the 9th labour of Hercules – the world
initiate of ancient times who was tested in all 12 signs, upon his final path
to Liberation:

“… upon the Path of Discipleship … and the Path of Initiation … [s]he is

subjected during the final stages of the path, to exactly twelve
incarnations, passing one in each of the twelve signs. In them he has to
prove himself, attaining great moments of crisis in each of the
constellations of the Fixed Cross in particular.

From point to point, stage to stage, and finally Cross to Cross, he fights
for his spiritual life, in all the twelve houses and all the twelve
constellations, subjected to countless combinations of forces and energies
—ray, planetary, zodiacal and cosmic—until he is “made anew,” becomes
the “new man,” is sensitive to the entire range of spiritual vibrations in our
solar system and has achieved that detachment which will enable him to Hercules attacking the Stymphalus
escape from the wheel of rebirth.”1 birds, wearing his lion skin from the Leo
labour.
Having emerged triumphant from
the previous sign of Scorpio,
where the hissing 9-headed Hydra is defeated in the stinking swamp of
Lernaea, in Sagittarius Hercules presses on through similar country – the
foetid marshes of Stymphalus, “where dwell the birds that wreak havoc”.

“Sagittarius has sometimes been called “the sign of the effect of Scorpio”.
The moment we have freed ourselves from illusion, that moment we enter
into Sagittarius and we see the goal.”2

Hercules’ Teacher enjoins him to find a way “to flush them from their long
secure abode” – adding, “The flame that gleams beyond the mind reveals
direction sure.”

Here is a direct reference to the intuition that emanates from the plane of buddhi,
direct knowledge beyond the mental plane.

The Power of Sound and Silence

“Joyfulness takes the place of criticism (that creator of misery) – and is the SILENCE
that SOUNDS. It can only be understood through a life dedicated to the newer rhythms
and service to the whole.

Then that “sounding joy” and that “joyful sounding” can make its true meaning felt.
Serenity is based upon spiritual understanding – it is not an astral condition but a soul
reaction. The peace that lies ahead for Humanity is the peace of serenity and joy—a
serenity based upon spiritual understanding.

These two qualities of the soul—serenity and joy—are the indications that the soul …
the One Who stands alone – is controlling the personality, circumstance and all environing conditions of life.”3

The Philosopher. Silence. (Nicholas Roerich 1940.)

Sound is both a building and destroying agency – depending upon how it is used. The ancient mantrams that have
been created, emerged from the realm of the abstract mind, where philosophical thought reigns supreme; this is why
Sagittarius is the sign of religion and philosophy.

The Archer’s arrow pierces the cloud of thought (“the rain-cloud of knowable things”) – that contains the divine
blueprint of universal ideas. Similarly, the archer unleashes the arrow of thought and waits for the returning arrow of
intuition. And so, returning to Hercules’ mission:

“A multitude of birds cawed raucously, a chorus menacing and dissonant, as he

approached … Large and fierce and hideous they were. Each had an iron beak that
was sharpened like a sword. The feathers, too, seemed like steel shafts and, falling,
could cleave in twain the pates of weary travellers. Their talons matched their beaks
in sharpness and in strength. Three birds, perceiving Hercules, swooped down upon
him.

He stood his ground, and warded off attacks with the heavy club he bore. One bird
he struck resoundingly upon the back; two feathers plummeted to earth and quivered
as they plunged into yielding ground.”4

Hercules then attempted to kill the man-eating birds with a quiverful of arrows – shot
from his hunting bow, but had limited success. Then he recalled the Teacher’s words,
“The flame that gleams beyond the mind reveals direction sure”.

Immediately, lightning intuition flashed forth a solution – to use two giant brazen cymbals that clashed together,
would create an unearthly din, “so piercing and so harsh it could affright the dead”.

Hercules returned to the marsh and proceeded to clash the cymbals in a

deafening cacophony – that even he could barely endure. The excruciating
dissonance disturbed and confused the predatory birds so effectively that
they fled in a vast screeching cloud – never to be seen again. The marshes
finally fell silent, peace ensued over the land and the Teacher affirmed,
“The birds of slaughter have been driven off. The labor is achieved.”

Hence Hercules achieved success – overwhelming the raucous chorus by

creating an even greater dissonance. Here is a paradox because Sagittarius
is traditionally regarded as a “sign of silence” – recalling the ancient
mystery schools where the new applicant was not allowed to talk, but to
“watch and work”. (Artwork by Francis Donald)

Silence is also needed at times in the work of the Ageless Wisdom, in refraining from saying things that others may
not be ready to hear or understand. When Jesus stood in silence, refusing to respond to accusations from his
persecutors, he was not going to engage with the crystallised, separative thought of the old religion and cultural
practices.

The lesson of Sagittarius is, “restraint of speech through control of

thought.” Not an easy task for oft-times indiscreet Sagittarius – that
can be loud and fall into the gossip trap – symbolised by opposite sign
Gemini. Note that the word discreet is linked to discrimination – a quality
of Virgo, a sign that shares the mutable cross with often
undiscriminating Sagittarius.

Even though Hercules gained victory in the intense emotional test of

Scorpio, in Sagittarius he is still aware of his emotional nature,
symbolised by the wetlands – the marshes. Mars – ruler of Scorpio, is
also the hierarchical ruler of Sagittarius and the solar plexus centre,
resulting in an emotional adherence to ideas – at times breeding fundamentalism and fanaticism.

The sign that follows Sagittarius is Capricorn – a sign of initiation, the mountain top toward which the Sagittarian
aspirant strides toward in earnest – using the thighs:

“Sagittarius governs the thighs, which are the main centre of physical
power and protective strength, and also the sacral centre which provides
the energy for the use of the creative powers of the physical life. This is
also symbolically true.

In Sagittarius, the disciple has two things to discover within himself; these
are the power to make progress upon the path and to walk the Way, and
also the ability to create in the higher and spiritual sense. This concerns
the relationship between the sacral and the throat centres.

These powers (the higher powers) are as yet embryonic in the earlier
Sagittarian experience of the disciple, but they become more developed
and potent as he cyclically returns to life experience in this sign.”5

Noteworthy here, is the relation of Sagittarius to the sacral centre’s

Usually the arm pulls the bow but in this
“creative powers”, i.e. sex – for which the thighs are often used as an
case the thighs!
euphemism. The two main signs associated with sex – Libra and Scorpio,
precede Sagittarius in a three-sign sequence upon the sex theme.

The passage above, “The relationship between the sacral and the throat centres” – brings understanding about the
throat centre as an expression of the mental body. Sagittarius rules over higher thought and education, metaphysical
enquiry and the expansion of the mind through meditation, long-distance travel and contact with foreign cultures.

The Tibetan saint, Milarepa – the One Who Hearkened (Nicholas Roerich)

Sagittarius is the beauty of silence which exists in the higher realm of thought – in direct contrast to the chatter of
the lower mind which dominates the life of humanity. Hence, the saints and philosophers of old retreated to the
solitude and silence of the desert or high mountains.

The Sagittarius-Gemini Axis

Sagittarius is a sign of truth whilst its opposite Gemini can
be a sign of deception, brought about by the distortions
which take place through the manifestation of ideas from
higher mind to lower mind – that part of the imperfect
personality.

Yet a reversal of these roles: Gemini searches for truth via

the facts – and Sagittarius can deceive itself through
blinded idealism or the illusory habitation of an ivory tower
of thought. Either way, this axis is about truth and deception, unconscious or conscious – yet it aspires to truth’s
illumined expression through speech and communication.

Both signs are intuitive and connected to the heart centre. Sagittarius – via its ruler Jupiter which rules the heart.
Gemini – through its rulership over the heart’s endocrine gland, the thymus – and also the fact that the only ray to
pass through this sign is the Jupiter-ruled 2nd ray of Love-Wisdom.

Music and Mantrams

Language clothes thought, hence is sacred – as it brings divine ideas and archetypes into
correct expression. Languages can be words (and mantrams), art or music. Mercury as
ruler of Gemini verbalises higher thought whilst Mercury-ruled Virgo writes down the
language or crafts the art.

Beethoven was always open to divine sounds from on high, translating them into earthly
music, eventually becoming deaf to physical sounds; he had Sun, Moon and Mercury in
Sagittarius – with Mercury opposing Mars in Gemini.

Just as the Sagittarian archer releases the arrow, so this sign also stands for the
spontaneous release of the OM in meditation, the divine sound that affirms the soul – and
is the start of the mantram, “Om Mani Padme Hum” – I am the jewel in the heart of the
lotus.

Or as St. John once affirmed, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God”. The world was created through sound, through the
formulation of a complex mantra that is still being sounded by the Logos (word) or
“God”:

“The Sound which was the first indication of the activity of the planetary Logos is not a
word, but a full reverberating sound, holding within itself all other sounds, all chords and
certain musical tones (which have been given the name of the “music of the spheres”)
and dissonances, unknown as yet to the modern ear.

It is this Sound which the “Rising One” must learn to recognise, and to which he must
respond not only by means of the sense of hearing and its higher correspondences, but through a response from
every part and aspect of the form nature in the three worlds.”6

Azam Ali -Azam Ali- O Vis Aeternitatis (12th century by Hildegard Von Bingen)
Share

Watch on

Iranian singer Azam Ali – “O Vis Aeternitatis” (“Oh Force of Eternity”) – by 12th century mystic Hildegarde de Bingen.

Likewise, the human soul sounds its “word” before birth – the specifically encoded mantram that contains the complex
karmic patternings that determine and are built-in to the physical, emotional and mental bodies.

Sounded mantrams are the “keynote” of any life, whether it is a human soul
incarnating or a germinating seed – their “note” attracts the attention of the
“builders” or the deva kingdom. It is for this reason that Sagittarius, through its
hierarchical rulership of Mars, is esoterically linked to the “lunar lords” – or the
hierarchies of lives who are responsible for building all forms in nature.

These angelic hierarchies hear the sound and respond automatically to build the
forms. Understanding this building process by the devas has wide ramifications for
any student approaching the science of Esoteric Astrology.

From an outer and very generic view, Sagittarius is silence and its opposite Gemini is noise. Higher mind-lower mind.
Sagittarius is the sacred word, Gemini is human speech.

Pause for a moment to consider the noise of the world – the din that
emanates from Earth must be quite dissonant to other planets in our solar
system! Earth, in its journey to become a perfected and hence “sacred
planet”, presents a discordant note in the orchestra of sacred planets playing
the music of the spheres.

Again, in terms of polarities, it is funny how loud (usually enthusiastically)

Sagittarians can be; a prominent Jupiter in the horoscope can also be loud and bombastic – not unlike Hercules and his
clashing cymbals.

In contrast, Gemini can be very quiet and timid at times, possibly due to
their tenuous etheric nature. But on the whole, the third sign Gemini at
it basic level is garrulous (like squawking cockatoos, peacocks and
roosters!) – similarly, those who have strong 3rd house or 3rd ray
emphasis. Kanye West, a blurter of controversial words – is a Sun-
Jupiter in Gemini!

The Sagittarius theme – the restraint of speech through control of

thought, is not a pleasant prospect for monkey-mind Gemini that has an
urgent need to verbally respond to all thoughts and impressions within
its environment! At its extreme – verbal diarrhoea!

Sagittarius is the quiet mountain retreat and Gemini is the bustling city with its diverse life. Yet within this greater
urban body exist the Sagittarian “outposts” of churches, schools of higher learning, art galleries and places of cultural
worth.

As touched upon earlier, Sagittarius ruler Jupiter – is not only about

expansive vistas of thought, but the heart centre over which Jupiter and
the Sun rule. Here is the source of morality encoded in all religions. At
times, Sagittarius can take this too far, overflowing with moralistic
religious fervour. Sagittarius can be a sign of excess, over-the-top – the
exagittarian!

It is curious to note increasing legislation related to noise reduction, as

urban living becomes more concentrated. Paradoxically, the world is
experiencing an increase in sensitivity and yet noise levels are
Noise is the top quality of life complaint accelerating to the point of numbing the senses: From the ambient roar
in NYC.
of traffic and machinery to intrusive, blaring music, the ubiquitous doof-
doof base-beat, the clatter of cafes and screeching coffee machines or
deafening sidewalk jackhammers.

It could be argued that this is the sound of life – (so get over it!), and that is
true to a degree; yet there is a sum total of inharmonious sound (noise) that
constitutes a destructive and distorting mantram of sorts, which militates
against harmony and peace in both obvious and subtle areas of our lives.

This can be tortuous for some, and one is reminded of Nikola Tesla (with a
sensitive Cancer sun), who at times of heightened sensitivity experienced
excruciating pain from the slightest sound. One of the greatest tests to right
meditation is to transcend distracting sound and to find the heart’s sanctuary of
silence. Ideally in “right meditation” those outer sounds are relegated to
“background noise” or are tuned out.

The Rider on the White Horse

The Masters of Wisdom are sagaciously Sagittarian. Lord Maitreya – the “Master of all Masters, devas and humanity”,
Who holds the Office of the Christ, has been depicted in both Eastern and Western traditions as the Rider on the
White Horse – as also one of his future messengers:

“This Rider on the white horse is no extra-planetary Entity or Life, but is essentially One like unto ourselves – human
and animal combined as are we all, but fused with divinity and inspired from on high, informed by some cosmic and
divine Principle, as Christ was informed with the Love of God and carried the revelation of love to man.

Kalki Avatar (Nicholas Roerich)

The Rider is one of our humanity Who has reached a predestined goal and Who – for very love and understanding of
man – has remained for ages in the secret place of revelation (as it is esoterically called), waiting until His hour comes
around again and He can then issue forth to lead His people to triumphant victory.”7

And “His hour” is imminent of course, as 2025 looms large and the Hierarchy will decide a date in which to begin Their
Externalisation.

The Zen Archer and Meditation

The Sagittarian zen archer must adopt a stance (make a stand, so to
speak), and with a steady hand and eye, positioned and poised in
stillness and silence, release the arrow of truth – to pierce the veil of
illusion.

This is a metaphor for the meditative mind and its compulsory entry into
the chamber of silence within the heart – to achieve clear vision. This
“piercing” is also about,

“… the sign Gemini begins potently to play its part in the life of the
disciples, with Sagittarius gradually “piercing the heart with his arrows,
and then upon the flight of the arrow, the man reaches Capricorn. [and
initiation]”8

Many trying to meditate are overwhelmed by the chattering monkey-

mind in the first five minutes – and as a result, cease pursuit of a most
empowering gift; it affects all levels of meditators and requires ongoing
discipline. Without meditation, the point of least resistance is the lower
expression of Gemini – ceaseless chatter, that denies the big picture
overview Sagittarius provides – a sense of greater proportion and clarity from the manifold distractions of the physical
plane.

Both Gemini and Sagittarius tend to be undiscriminating, unless drawing upon that arm of the mutable cross
conditioned by Virgo. Hence Sagittarius in a lower sense can be fooled by Gemini impressionability and lack of
discrimination. This leads to misguided or distorted philosophies that can seriously distract the seeker – who might
become enmeshed in their own cleverness, or need to be right – a most potent glamour of Sagittarius.

Sagittarius is also a sign of “interlude” with similarities to Libra, another

sign of interlude, symbolised by the moment between inbreath and
outbreath in meditation:

“He concentrates his forces. Here we have the stage indicated which can
be called retention of the breath. It is a holding of all the forces of the life
steadily in the place of silence, and when this can be done with ease and
with forgetfulness of process through familiarity and experience, then the
man can see and hear and know in a realm other than the phenomenal
world. In the higher sense this is the stage of contemplation, that “lull
between two activities” as it has been so aptly called.

The soul, the breath, the life has withdrawn out of the three worlds, and in
the “secret place of the most high” is at rest and at peace, contemplating
the beatific vision. In the life of the active disciple it produces those
interludes which every disciple knows, when (through detachment and the
capacity to withdraw), he is held by nothing in the world of form.

As he is but wrestling toward perfection and has not yet attained, these
interludes of silence, withdrawing-ness, and of detachment are frequently
difficult and dark.

All is silence and he stands appalled by the unknown, and by the apparently empty stillness in which he finds himself.
This is called, in advanced cases, “the dark night of the soul” – the moment before the dawn, the hour before the light
streams forth.”9

Dweller on the Threshold

Sagittarius and Pisces are two arms of the mutable cross – and are related
to “retreats”, where one can withdraw or “repair” to the life of the soul,
away from the hustle and bustle. Many treading the Way today, have
spent lives in monasteries in either the East or West in these past 1,000
years or so – honing meditation skills, only now to incarnate in big cities,
carrying the fruits of their past subjective work with them.

In the passage above is mentioned “the dark night of the soul, the
moment before the dawn” – describes in northern hemisphere symbolism,
the fact that Sagittarius precedes the winter solstice at the first degree of
Capricorn – the darkest day of winter.

The “dark night of the soul” is the battle between the Dweller on the
Threshold (shadow) and the Angel of the Presence (soul). It is said that
Sagittarius controls the “negative dweller”10, meaning that the one-pointed aspirant of Sagittarius has, through
positive soul control, relegated the dweller to a negative state where it is not in control.

This is in contradistinction to Leo, said to control the “positive

dweller” in the early stages of soul unfoldment, when the sense of
identity and personality was a necessary stage in development –
where the “dweller” was in control and the soul was quiescent. The
so-called “fusion of the dweller and the angel” comes at a stage
where the individual undergoes initiation in the next sign Capricorn,
as a result of the quest for soul control:

“The definite goal of the Centaur, which is the satisfaction of

desire and animal incentives, becomes in the later stages the goal
of initiation, which meets with satisfaction in Capricorn, after the
preliminary work has been done in Sagittarius. The keynote of the
Centaur is ambition.

The keynote of the Archer is aspiration and direction, and both are expressions of human goals but one is of the
personality [centaur] and the other [archer]of the soul. From ambition to aspiration, from selfishness to an intense
desire for selflessness, from individual one-pointed self-interest in Leo to the one-pointedness of the disciple in
Sagittarius and thence to initiation in Capricorn.”11

Spain
Spain is a Sagittarian soul and an example of how soul
energy was distorted through her Capricorn personality. The Spanish Inquisition
occurred in a sub-period of the Piscean Age (1397-1577) ruled by Sagittarius.
Blinded by their Catholic zealotry and sanctimony (both Sagittarian traits) – yet
having clear vision and one-pointedness as to the outcome – the slaughter of
millions in Europe and the Americas was justified.

Venus and Mercury in Sagittarius

Venus and Mercury entered Sagittarius in the second week of November,
following one another to an exact conjunction, just hours before the Sun
entered Sagittarius on the remarkable date of 22-11-2022.

The plethora of 2’s represents Sagittarius ruler Jupiter – ruler of the 2nd ray
of Love-Wisdom. Jupiter’s glyph even looks like a 2! Sagittarius truth-
teller is the province of the ageless wisdom, philosophy and religion – the quest to touch the Mind of the Divine.

Mercury is one of the main expressions of the intuition, that which lays beyond the mind – and its power is amplified in
intuitive Sagittarius; also through Mercury’s rulership of the opposite sign Gemini – invoking the formless fluidity of
that sign.

Mercury in Sagittarius represents honest, direct communication – often quite

blunt and unadorned, as arrows are shot direct to the heart of the matter. A
recent example is China’s president Xi Jinping at the G20 conference,
confronting Justin Trudeau about a leaked communication.

At that time transiting Mercury was directly opposite Trudeau’s Saturn in

Gemini/midheaven – Jinping was acting out Trudeau’s authoritative Saturn.
Trudeau has Mercury in Sagittarius and tried lamely give Jinping as good as he
got.

Venus in Sagittarius – exoterically interpreted, can foster emotional idealism

– Sagittarius is somewhat paradoxically one of the “gushiest” of signs, due to
the 6th ray of devotion/idealism finding its most powerful expression in this
sign. Hence Venus in Sagittarius is also the spiritual devotee.

As the planet of relationships, Venus in Sagittarius is friendly, outgoing and

sociable – loving classical forms of beauty; it is frank, as opposed to secretive
Venus and Mercury.
in previous sign Scorpio. Like Mercury in Sagittarius, Venus here can be blunt
and “in your face”.

Transiting Venus in expansive-wanderer-Sagittarius, also symbolises a love of

travel (The Quest) and/or a romantic liaison with a foreigner that leads to a
relationship and/or marriage.

Esoterically however, Venus is ruler of the 5th ray of knowledge or science, a ray
that finds its expression through the triangle of signs: Leo-Sagittarius-Aquarius.
The will to know and illumine of the fire signs Leo-Sagittarius – creates a fertile
environment for the 5th ray of knowledge to enquire and learn within.

Hence, when Mercury-intuition and Venus-mind, conjoin in Sagittarius, there is a

rich union or marriage of these qualities, reflected in the ajna or brow chakra,
whose left petal represents manas/mind and right petal – intuition or buddhi.
 This “marriage” of Mercury-Venus is also the
esoteric idea behind the Divine Herm-aphrodite –
Hermes (Mercury) and Venus (Aphrodite). Here is
illustrated the goal of all human evolution,
glimpsed in these lesser cycles – the blending and synthesis of the so-called masculine-
feminine.

During the Aquarian Age and the coming Sixth Rootrace, the intuitive factor will
develop and expand, building upon the foundation of developed mind in this current
Fifth Rootrace.

Returning to the date of 22-11-2022 – the “power numbers” of 11/22 repeated. 22

cards in the Tarot’s major arcana. 11 is the number of the Initiate, the 11th house of
group work and community – gleaning its meaning from the 11th sign Aquarius – “the
sign of universal relationships, interplay and consciousness.”

These universal relationships concern the mysterious, “22 methods of Group Interplay” – the “21 vibrations of the
Law of Attraction, with the basic vibration, the synthesis of the 21 added, thus making 22.”12 Note that the page
number for this reference is 1,222!

The Leo-Sagittarius-Aquarius Triangle

“There are three of the zodiacal signs which are more closely connected with man
than are any of the others: Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius.”13

The Ageless Wisdom informs us that the zodiac sign Sagittarius governs human
evolution. At human “Individualisation” 21.6 million years ago (when humans
acquired individual souls), the Sun was appropriately in self-conscious Leo.

But Sagittarius governed a previous period of “the subjective approach … in order

to stimulate the forms of life upon our planet … Ray V [knowledge] governs the
evolution of consciousness through the revolution of its triangle: Leo, Sagittarius
and Aquarius.

… Throughout human evolution, this major triangle governs the relation of

humanity, through the mind – to the Hierarchy and the approach of that Hierarchy
to the human centre of energy.”14

Hence, two (fire) signs of this triangle (Leo-

Sagittarius) are “closely connected with man” and including Aquarius, have the
Venus-ruled 5th ray of knowledge passing through them. Venus was potently
present at Individualisation, broadcasting its “mental frequency” toward the
individualising humanity in ancient Lemuria.

Another factor for why Sagittarius is “closely connected with man” – is because it is
also a powerful conduit of the 4th ray of Harmony through Conflict – the major ray
conditioning Humanity. In this respect, Sagittarius is part of another triangle, Taurus-
Scorpio -Sagittarius – the 4th ray is the only ray to pass through Taurus-Scorpio.

Esoteric Astrology has as one of its sub-sciences, the Science of Triangles – hence
these associations given above, touch upon this subject. Sagittarius has three ray triangles, the other for the 6th ray
is Virgo-Sagittarius-Pisces.

Hence the intricacy of the subject, but to bring out the understanding that at Individualisation, two rays of “attribute”
were present via Sagittarius – the 4th and 5th: The 4th upon the “Love-Wisdom line” and the 5th upon the “Will-
Power line”. Leo-Sagittarius-Aquarius are related to the three aspects of body, soul and spirit – bearing in mind that
the following table is symbolic.

Sagittarius and the Lords of Liberation

The great assault upon Humanity over the past few years
has been intense – battle fatigue has set in for many – a
weariness brought about by a heavy emotional toll –
exacted by the outrageous circumstances foisted upon
Humanity.

A World War is unfolding – part of which has manifested

upon the physical plane in Ukraine, but has precipitated in
every area of human activity; it has not subsided, though
there might be temporary lulls – it has a course to run yet.

That is why disciples who are involved in this battle cannot

afford to slacken their point of tension, succumb to depression or a sense of hopelessness – regarding seemingly
insurmountable obstacles and the insidious reach of Materialistic Forces.

Those forces know that the power which they have had over Humanity (since the dying days of Atlantis), is nearing its
expiration date – through the planned Externalisation of the Hierarchy. Hence, their attacks are ruthless and savage –
they will not ease-up and will continue to sound-out one’s frailties, attempting to create separation or suspicion.

The target is all of Humanity, but perhaps even more so for spiritual
groups who are aware of the world situation – within which some of
their main soldiers are holding the line, working within the New Group of
World Servers.

The military/sixth ray analogy is apt – at the end of this Piscean era, and
blended with the evocation of the spiritual will, will fortify those who
continue to take a stand, who embody The Resistance.

The first ray mantra from William Blake’s poem New Jerusalem always
bears repeating: “I will not cease from mental fight, nor let the sword
rest in my hand”. The New Jerusalem is not a physical location, but the
Hierarchy itself. The “Holy City” is Shamballa, and the “City standing four-square” is Humanity.15

The “mental fight” to dominate and control the emotional body, is one of the hallmarks of the tests and trials of
Scorpio – through which the Sun has just passed. The mental strength to overcome personal and world glamour, the
mental polarisation where the Spiritual Will finds its point of least resistance.

Now in Sagittarius, as a result of the Scorpio experience, a new orientation can take place – a tweaking of the
compass upon the arduous Journey of Return: “The Archer on the white horse … orientation … towards a definite
goal.”16

The world is passing through an intense period of initiation,

where disciples from all ashrams are being sifted, weighed and
tested in the fiery crucible of the heart; how much do they love
humanity – above and beyond their own immediate concerns?
The Hierarchy watches and waits.

Sagittarius is the one-pointed archer engaged in a “dynamic

focussing” upon the target. As mentioned earlier, “disciples who
are involved in this battle cannot afford to slacken their point of
tension”:

“Forget not that all success … is dependent upon the sustaining of the point of tension. This point of tension involves
the dynamic focussing of all mental, emotional and physical energies at a central point of planned activity.”17

1925 to 2025: Lessons of the Last Century

In 1925, at the last Centennial Conclave in Shamballa, the Hierarchy shifted
from the mental plane to the buddhic, Master R assumed the mantle of the
Mahachohan and many in the spiritual community took initiation – most
notably, Krishnamurti, Annie Besant and others.

The Tibetan was transmitting A Treatise on Cosmic Fire to Alice Bailey – and
the Roerich’s were embarking upon their epic 4 ½ year journey through Asia.
1925 fell between the first two phases of the World War (a recapitulation of
the Atlantean battle) – which a century later has now extended to its third and
final phase.

We are told that the “door where evil dwells” – a line from The Great
Invocation, has drifted open again – very soon after WWII, where the World
Dweller jumped from its expression through Germany – to the United States of America.

This was the most logical nation for the Materialistic Forces to focus
upon – because the USA’s destiny is be a leading nation (along with
Russia and Britain) – into the Aquarian Age. Hence Operation Paperclip
that emigrated thousands of Nazi scientists and their families to the
USA, was just one part of a “bad seed” planted at that time.

Since the assassination of JFK in 1963 – who saw the fascist writing
on the wall, the light of the USA has been gradually encroached upon.
Now, on USA’s first ever Pluto return – the struggle for the soul of the
nation is more clearly defined than ever. The planetary dweller faces
off to the nation’s solar angel, focused in the USA. This will continue through to Oct.2023, when Pluto makes its last
contact with natal Pluto, within a close 20’ of arc.

The world has been facing this Dweller of the Fifth Rootrace for the past
couple of centuries – with the development of mind in its culminating
5.5.5 phase; a mental potency that has been recently prostituted to
selfish interests – and the reappearance of the most egregious of
Atlantean crimes – theft.

This is not so much a matter of physical theft (though that might increase
in the next few years, as people become more desperate for survival) –
but the theft by corporations and governments of data, identities and
freedom.

It has already been happening for decades, unbeknown to most of Humanity – but is now entering a final phase where
complete control could be effected – if the world population does not take a stand. And yet because of world glamour
that has inverted the truth everywhere, the majority of humanity believe what the mainstream media feeds them.

The Original Great Invocation

One method is to link up as a group daily and sound the invocation to the Lords
of Liberation – which humanity successfully invoked, mainly unconsciously,
during WWII – due to the agony, distress and chaos of those years.

This invocation was the success story for esoterically ending WWII toward the
end of 1941 … let that sink in for a moment. The rest of the war played out for
the few years to 1945. (See author’s book, The Shamballa Impacts.) The
Lords of Liberation respond to mass invocation – it is the law, They are
obliged to evoke a response.

Hence today, as the world finds itself in a similar, but not so obvious situation as WWII –
of having freedoms eroded and stolen, a stronger plea to the Lords of Liberation is
required. Several esoteric meditation groups are already practicing this. It is in this
“original” Great Invocation, before the other more commonly known version, that the
invocation to the Lords of Liberation was written – several years before WWII broke out:

“In the great invocations which I [The Tibetan] have given out, the first one (“Let the
Forces of Light bring illumination to mankind…”) was an effort on my part to put into
words the invocative cry of mankind and of all men and women of goodwill throughout
the world. Its success was indicative of the strength of that goodwill.

The second (“Let

Let the Lords of Liberation issue forth.
forth...”) can, in reality, only be
used with any measure or hope of success by aspirants, disciples and initiates, and
hence was not nearly so popular with the general public, though in reality much more powerful and potentially
effective”18

Let the Forces of Light bring illumination to mankind.

Let the Spirit of Peace be spread abroad.
May men of goodwill everywhere meet in a spirit of cooperation.
May forgiveness on the part of all men be the keynote at this time.
Let power attend the efforts of the Great Ones.
So let it be, and help us to do our part. — 1935

Let the Lord of Liberation issue forth.

Let Him bring succour to the sons of men.
Let the Rider from the Secret Place come forth,
And coming, save.
Come forth, O Mighty One.

Let the souls of men awaken to the Light,

And may they stand with massed intent.
Let the fiat of the Lord go forth:
The end of woe has come!
Come forth, O Mighty One.
The hour of service of the saving force has now arrived.
Let it be spread abroad, O Mighty One.

Let Light and Love and Power and Death

Fulfil the purpose of the Coming One.
The WILL to save is here.
The LOVE to carry forth the work is widely spread abroad.
The ACTIVE AID of all who know the truth is also here.
Come forth, O Mighty One, and blend these three.
Construct a great defending wall.
The rule of evil now must end. — 1940.

One excellent visualisation, to use this phrase, “Let the souls of men awaken to the Light, And may they
stand with massed intent.” Visualising the energy and power of demonstrations around the world resisting
tyranny, seeing that “massed intent” rippling around the world in a mighty uprising and awakening.

Practicing this regularly, would be a very potent expression of White Magic at work. If one feels powerless and
insignificant in the face of such an injunction, consider that the formation of small groups, pockets of resistance, is
the Aquarian way. Also bear in mind the following domino effect:

Domino Chain Reaction (geometric growth in action)

Copy link

2:33 / 2:34

“It does not matter your size, the smaller piece can make a difference.”

This kind of suggested meditation, conducted on a daily basis for however long it takes, would surely have an effect
and evoke a response. But in sounding the invocation, there must be held in mind a “higher human freedom”:

“Unless this world war has in it the seeds of a revelation of a higher

human freedom, and unless humanity is ready to express this
higher freedom to the best of its ability, it will not be possible for
the Lords of Liberation to take action.

They cannot be moved by prayer, demand and invocation alone.

Such demand must have behind it the ideal of a newer freedom and
a greater liberty for man.”19

Resisting Technocracy
The successful invocation of the Lords of Liberation in WWII, is
relayed to us in this often-quoted statement:

“The necessity to withdraw [by Hierarchy] was averted. I may not say in what manner, beyond telling you that the
Lords of Liberation took certain unexpected steps. This They were led to do owing to the invocative powers of
humanity, used consciously by all those upon the side of the will-to-good and unconsciously by all men of goodwill.

Owing to these steps, the efforts of those fighting in the realm of

The German experimental nuclear pile at science for the establishing of true knowledge and right human
Haigerloch, being inspected by American and relations were aided. The trend of the power to know and to
British soldiers. discover (a definite form of energy) was deflected away
from the demanding evocative minds of those seeking to
destroy the world of men, leading to a form of mental
paralysis. Those seeking to emphasise the right values and to save humanity were simultaneously stimulated to the
point of success.”20

Today, a very similar situation has re-emerged since the 1960’s – through the misuse of
science and technology – known as “Technocracy”, that began in the 1930’s era of
fascism. (See this recent essay: Technocracy and Mass Psychosis/Formations)

This phenomenon has affected so many areas – medicine, media, communications, AI etc.
The Lords of Liberation can surely be invoked again, so that “the trend to know and
discover is deflected from those seeking to destroy/control the world” world”; so that
the madness of runaway technology does not imprison humanity.

Also needing “deflection” today is the “trend to overpower and control” – through the
three global glamours of Authority, Division and Manipulation. May those who are earnest
students of the Ageless Wisdom, continue to work occultly (applying theory into practice)
– in this invocation process, holding in their hearts the inspirational vision of a new world
emerging – the Age of Aquarius.

Battle for the Soul of Brazil

“It is not about Lula or Bolsonaro, but the globalist powers who have their eyes
on Brazil riches and resources.”

Whatever one’s view of the political crisis in Brazil today, it is very encouraging
to see a stand taken by millions in that nation for several weeks – an example
of people power for the rest of the world.

These demonstrations are not born from blind fanaticism, but of a real
understanding of the principles at stake – between one corrupt group trying to
usurp power and another which is attempting to fight them.

It is deplorable that since Brazil’s disputed election, major protest events have
hardly been reported around the world or on social media. The “left” dominated
mainstream media has deliberately suppressed and distorted this story.

The world has been brainwashed in these past years – not only in the area of medical issues and global politics, but
into believing a simplistic notion that the convicted criminal Lula is the good guy and Bolsonaro the bad guy. Global
media has been responsible for this – such is the state of world glamour today – like a thick, sticky molasses obscuring
the truth.

Of course, if one still doggedly adheres to the MSM narrative – without

having developed any sense of the apolitical (neither left nor right),
then events in Brazil will be dismissed as supporting the “right wing” or
of being fascist – in line with the propaganda picture painted in recent
years.

Those in the spiritual community who have stuck to the

Left/Democrat/Labour ideology all their lives [or to the right wing for
that matter], must seriously re-assess their position today – if they are
to achieve a balanced, non-partisan view – the challenge to transcend
the duality/illusion of left and right.

Through the Pluto in Capricorn breakdown, there is hardly any true right or left – and this is a natural process if
political parties worldwide have any hope of regenerating their crystallisation and corruption – or to form new political
groups. Only the Middle Way between the opposites will reveal the truth.

“The spiritual Hierarchy cannot work through people whose tongues are critical, whose ideas and attitudes are
separative and who are violently partisan in their beliefs and comments. This is a statement of fact. I seek to have you
train yourselves in such right activity, beginning with your own lives and your personal expression in the world.”21

There are cycles of extreme left or right force that threaten the balance.
Protesting Brazilians believe that Lula’s left party is deeply influenced by China
and that if Lula is allowed to govern, it will mean the loss of democracy and the
nation being taken over by communist interests. China has applauded Lula’s win
calling him “our old friend”:

“Lula Da Silva co-founded the secretive Foro de Sao Paulo, a communist political
conference tied to drug trafficking and terrorism … [About which UK’s spy
group MI6 acknowledges.] Lula’s Foro operates with the full endorsement of the
Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jingping’s Central Committee, which sent a
letter to express their approval of the Foro and its mission.”22

This instagram video (and photo at left), reveals a HUGE crowd, perhaps a
million or more – all protesting PEACEFULLY (in just one of many cities) – for
over four weeks since the election. Here follows a first hand perspective from a
Brazilian co-worker in mid-November:

“Some say that in Brasilia, the federal capital – they have gathered between
three and five million. Also Brazilian citizens who live abroad (like in the US,
have come from other continents) – have gathered to do the same, singing,
praying, and protesting peacefully.

Crowds of people wearing, yellow, green and blue color, and waving Brazil’s flag were seen in Germany, England,
Japan, Lebanon, Greece – a very 2nd ray expression [love-wisdom] all over the world.

Also, emulating what is happening in Brazil, neighboring countries under the control of extreme left and totalitarian
governments – are also starting to protest. None of this is shown in the mainstream media. In Cuba, and other
countries in South America they blocked the internet – to cut down communication.

In Brazil an attempt to crash the people’s movement is mounting. Truck drivers announced a general national strike, as
most of them have had their bank accounts blocked [Exact same as the truckers convoy in Canada.]; they cannot
receive any pay and are forced to stop business; it means no distribution of gas, grain, food etc.

President Bolsonaro is not addressing the nation – to avoid being

accused of insurrection – and the armed forces [that the
protestors are invoking] – are still silent. The tension is mounting,
as is the demand and prayers. We hold the vision for the victory
of the forces of light.

The situation in Brazil is deeper than appears on the surface. It is

not about Lula or Bolsonaro, but the globalist powers who
have the eyes on Brazil riches and resources. The Amazon
forest fits inside the whole of Europe. Farm land in Brazil can feed
the whole world.

The amount of water for generating electric power has the

biggest reservoir on the whole planet. Brazil has a 10,000
kilometre sea coast, the longest and widest river in the whole
Brazil’s aquifers.
world and huge “under the earth oceans” [aquifers].

Brazil has widespread diversity and abundance. Bolsonaro is an obstruction to their [globalist powers] plan. The CIA
and other US leftist groups have participated in the [current] “coup”, because the world [political] left is controlling
the nation that is focusing the world dweller [USA] – because the USA is also focusing the world Angel.

It is in fact a spiritual battle, not a political one. They will not succeed but the point of tension needs to be held at the
right place and plane. It is a pity that few people are trained to work with occultism. Internet connections have been
suspended, social media supporting conservative is also down – a true totalitarian system of crashing the opposition,
which is already in place in the USA.

The supreme court here is confident that the US senate would block a
military intervention that the population is demanding, and is even helping
to depose and arrest Bolsonaro. They will not succeed.

The sad thing is to know that many spiritual students have leaned toward
the left, and have contributed to the unbalancing of forces now happening
in the world. Many still do, believing that those who are not democrats,
who do not support Biden – are evil, even spiritual co-workers.

The soul’s consciousness is still a high aspiration for many, not yet a fact
– the soul is the middle way for saving the kingdom. Esoteric groups are
far from being scientific because desire and high aspiration are not
thought substance – and good intention is not an actual deed.

Seeing the reflected ideal is not seeing the true vision, but the reflection of it. The real can be accessed only via the
scientific building of the antahkarana. Science means knowledge and not belief.”

The Influence of Sagittarius on Brazil

As mentioned earlier, Sagittarius belongs to three triangles, two of which are: Leo-Sagittarius-Aquarius (ray 5) and
Taurus-Sagittarius-Scorpio (ray 4).

Firstly, the triangle of Leo-Sagittarius-Aquarius (ray 5) is relevant for Brazil because it is a Leo soul – with Leo
rising in its exoteric horoscope. Leo rising and its polar opposite Aquarius make up two of the chart’s four angles,
invoking the other two arms of the fixed cross: Taurus-Scorpio, the latter sign for which there were recent powerful
eclipses around the nation’s election, featuring Aquarius ruler Uranus – the revolutionary.

Brazil’s transits and progressions, 28 Nov.2022.

Currently, Brazil has four solar-arc (SA) directed placements in Sagittarius: Saturn, Moon, Jupiter and midheaven (MC).
During this crisis, Sagittarius ruler Jupiter has been retrograde in Pisces, squaring SA Jupiter/MC. The midheaven is the
“career/public” of the nation, hence the Sagittarius theme of orientation >>> reorientation – is at a point of acute
tension.

As discussed in the earlier section (Leo-Sagittarius-Aquarius Triangle), Sagittarius is

a human sign that played a role in the subjective approach to the great
Individualisation event in Lemurian times.

Brazil and other parts of South America were part of Lemuria, the original location of
Shamballa. Brazil will also be the home of the coming Sixth Rootrace, hence these
current solar-arc directions in Sagittarius resemble somewhat the “subjective
approach” for that rootrace – with all the birth pangs (“preparatory turmoil”) that
accompanies such an event.

Secondly, the triangle of Taurus-Sagittarius-Scorpio (ray 4) is most relevant

because Brazil’s soul is the 4th ray of Harmony through Conflict or Art – the ray that
rules Humanity as a whole, and which is coming slowly into incarnation after 2025.

Brazil’s soul must be certainly feeling this approach – its impending destiny, perhaps
far more so than the only other two 4th ray soul nations – Germany and Austria.
Part of an old Theosophical
(India and Italy are 4th ray personalities.) map showing Lemuria at its
greatest global extent.
Mars in Gemini Transits
The other factor that brings the Sagittarius energy powerfully to Brazil, is the transit
of Mars through polar opposite Gemini, lasting an almost unprecedented seven months – as reported here recently.

Hence, Mars has opposed all of Brazil’s solar-directed positions, particularly SA

Moon/Jupiter/MC – since Brazil’s election in late Oct.2022. Just before that date in
late August 2022, Mars passed over Brazil’s prominent natal Moon-Jupiter-MC in
Gemini, to which it will return to make a station – for the first three weeks of
Jan.2023; that period will undoubtedly represent another crisis for the nation.

Soon after, Mars will return for its final opposition to the SA planets in Sagittarius, in
the first three weeks of March 2023 – culminating when the Sun moves into Aries on
March 21 – President Bolsonaro’s birthday!

That too may represent a final crisis for the election dispute, resolved one way or
the other. Bear in mind that Mars is the military, and the army have the right to
intervene, “as guaranteed by the constitution” – if they deem it appropriate.

Before all these events unfold, the transits at the Sagittarius-Gemini full moon (Dec.8, 2022) are most telling,
regarding military action and martial law. Mars the military planet, is exactly conjunct the Moon in Gemini, opposite the
Sun in Sagittarius – making a close T-square to Brazil’s Sun in Virgo.

Full moon transits for Brazil and the T-square to the Sun.

Another important date for Brazil was the date of 22-11-2022

22-11-2022, when transiting Mercury and Venus, the exoteric and
esoteric rulers of Gemini, met in an exact conjunction in Sagittarius, opposing Brazil’s natal Jupiter/MC in Gemini. (See
previous article on Mercury-Venus.)

The many 2’s in this date highlights Brazil’s 2nd ray personality,
whilst “11 is the number of the Initiate, the 11th house of group
work and community – gleaning its meaning from the 11th sign
Aquarius – “the sign of universal relationships, interplay and
consciousness.””

As of this writing in early December 2022, the situation remains

unresolved, as further commentary from a Brazilian co-worker
indicates:

Vicktorya you seem to be suggesting that JFK was assasinated due to his seeing the fascist hand writing on the wall. In his book
Astrology of Americas Destiny Dane Rudhyar suggests on pg 110 that the reason for the so called 20 year curse of US presidents
dying in office is due to the sun-Saturn conjunction. I remember his assasination and was stunned when I heard the news. I was in sixth
grade and our public school principile came on the intercom, told us the news and led us in a prayer. Nobody ever complained about
him doing the prayer. Interestingly enough Martin Luther King stated that LBJ did far more for civil rights than Kennedy ever could have
or would have. Phillips comments on Beethovens hearing the heavenly sounds while eventually going death to earthly sounds is
intriguing. Some scholars have concluded that his deafness heightened his creativity. Its as if though by becoming deaf to the physical
sounds he was better able to hear the Heavenly sounds. Your comments oj Brazil and Lula were quite illuminating and at the same time
disconcerting. I and a lot of porgressives had thought he was a champion of higher values not just another materialist stooge. There
are those of us who try to think not in terms of Right or left but in terms of Social Justice and Human Rights. Obviously Lula is not a
champion of either. It doesnt surprise me that the media has not reported the Brazil demonstrations they tend to report only what is
convenient. Finally it has been suggested that all positive demonstrations contribute to a collective field of force. Thank you Phillip for
another great newsletter.

Wow. The section on Brazil was unexpected and puts a serious challenge to my previous understanding and thoughts on the situation.
Though I have no trust at all in the establishment politicians and mainstream media sources here in the US, when I had read the cited
article in the National File, it, too, seemed incredibly biased, and I’m unsure of its accuracy and truthfulness. That said, I’m keeping an
open mind about it all. The video of Brazilian journalist Paula Schmitt was very interesting, and I empathize with her as being someone
who previously saw herself as “on the left,” who seems to have been going though a period of disillusionment with her past political
group. My experience has been similar here in the US, and like her I take more of an anti-establishment view than “left” or “right.” I’m
very curious as to what journalist Glenn Greenwald’s perspective is on what is going on in Brazil, as he exposed the Operation Car Wash
scandal which targeted Lula and put him in prison before the previous election and paved the way for Bolsenaro’s victory. I always had
the understanding that the CIA was behind much of the corruption and shenanigans that sidelined Lula and boosted Bolsenaro. But
maybe my understanding is incomplete. Definitely Lula’s ties to the banks that Schmitt brought to light is deeply disturbing, as is his
attitudes towards the population in regards to the so-called “vaccines.” It has been disheartening to see the turn the “left” has taken
in the past decade or so…I hardly recognize it and feel like it has lost its way, as has much of the “right.” Everything is so corrupt and
dishonest, and it is very challenging not to be black-pilled the more I learn about power and the powerful through journalists and figures
like James Corbett, Whitney Webb, Max Blumenthal, Robert Kennedy, Jr., Alexander Mercouris, Neil Oliver, Bret Weinstein, Scott Ritter,
Eva K. Bartlett, etc. But that’s the way it is.

Hi Phillip, thanks again for sharing your thoughts in your extensive newsletter.

For me is clear that we are in a polarized world and therefore, if we are not attentive, it is very easy to fall into the error of thinking
that 50% of the population is “bad” compared to the other 50% that is “good”.

Never better now in Sagittarius to ask: what is an ideal in a polarized society?

It is clear that in a polarized society, if consciousness is not evolved (exoteric Sagittarius), its ideal will be subject to its perception of
the supposed enemy. The tendency (right, left, anti-system, pro-system, ecologist, nationalist, humanist, liberal, new age…) that the
subject professes will not matter, the ideal cannot be inclusive because it will be conditioned by its opposite. There will be no reflection
of the Soul and the inferior aspect of Jupiter will exaggerate the vision, fanaticism will defile the Ideal. The destructive power will be
enormous.

For an Ideal or Goal to be inclusive, it cannot be conditioned only for personal reasons (solar sign + exoteric ruler), but it needs the
complementary qualities of its opposite sign, qualities activated by the Earth, the esoteric ruler of Sagittarius, always placed opposite
the sun sign.

The esoteric secret of every Soul in Sagittarius is to know how to mix in the mind the spiritual greatness of a vision (ruled by the
superior aspect of Jupiter), with the practical sense, the intelligent laws of mother nature, governed by its esoteric ruler, the Earth.

Thanks for sharing

The description of the discordant noise of life as illustrated with the Sagittarius, Gemini lower levels and how to transcend the clatter
reminded me of the Movie August Rush (movie available on Netflix), where the lost little boy keyed his mind into the numerous bustling
noises of New York City. He busily translated the jangling noise into music. The story is riveting and uplifting. The story line was brilliant
and fits beautifully with the higher attainment of the Sag/Gemini energies. Seen the movie a number of times now and pleased to see it
on Netflix.

hey,

just a quick note that this month’s newsletter struck me as particularly lyrical in the soulful note it sounds. i found your words really
captured the nature of the soul and the rhythm of its quality shone throughout the newsletter not only from the standpoint of our
little egoic evolutions but more importantly up toward the greater zodiacal Quality as we transition from scorpio –> capricorn.

Phillip,

1. Enjoyed your brief talk at the “Triangles” meditation last week. I always appreciate it when an astrological focus is enunciated. Come
more often.

2. You continue to reference the centennial conclave of 2025, which most of the AAB students are focused on during these last two
remaining years. Like so many, I am looking forward to it with great anticipation because the date will be set for the return of the
Christ. What could be better than that in this troubled world. So, when i recently read the following quote in “The Rays and Initiations”,
I was somewhat taken aback. DK writes, that the centennial conclave is when the Masters decide what “crises” they can present to
humanity since that is how we grow, learn and evolve. What kind of crises? Will we be ready to meet the challenge? See the quote
below:

“……..the entire Hierarchy meets at Its centennial conference and—at that time—decides what form of crisis, on what level of
consciousness, and involving what group of lives, must be implemented and presented to humanity, though the other kingdoms of
nature will be necessarily implicated. The reason for this is that the meeting of such a planned crisis will hasten certain realizations.
Forget not that humanity grows through the presentation of moments of crisis. These moments of crisis, based on past karma,
conditioned by the point in evolution already achieved, and on the presence in the three worlds of certain appropriate ray forces, are
brought to the point of precipitation by united decision in the conclave of the Masters.” [RI Pg. 394]

3. You marked that the “world dweller” has moved to the U.S.A. from Germany, a natural choice due to our materialism, among other
shortcomings. That is a very disconcerting thought but may help explain the seeming unprecedented upsurge in anti-democratic forces;
Neo-Nazism, and very extreme right organizations like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. (Canada considers them domestic terrorist
groups.) Dr. Douglas Baker, in his analysis of the USA horoscope, always said that America had strong fascist tendencies. The historical
narrative abounds with examples since our founding.

Thank you, Phillip.
