Science of Triangles
("Triple Sun")
It is the
constellation Gemini and its inherent second ray influence which
control every one of the pairs of opposites in the Great Wheel.
Gemini, therefore, forms with each of the pairs of opposites in the
Zodiac a third factor, powerfully influencing the other two
constellations, and thus forms, with them, certain great zodiacal
triangles.

1.
Libra-Aries.—The achieved equilibrium, at the point of rest,
provides the mental impetus for soul control. Passion is transmuted
into love and the initial desire of Aries becomes the full expression
of love-wisdom. Desire to manifest becomes the aspiration to be.
2. Scorpio-Taurus.—The final victory of soul over form. Death
and darkness demonstrate as life and light as the result of this
energy relationship. The dark night of the soul becomes radiant sun.
3. Sagittarius-Gemini.—The result of this related pair of
opposites is that there is one-pointed soul effort, spiritually
directed activity and a demonstrated readiness for initiation. There
is the waning of the power of form and the waxing of the life of the
soul.
4. Capricorn-Cancer.—The initiate now chooses to incarnate and
passes freely and at will through both doors. The pull of matter is
superseded by the free choice of the soul. Form life becomes a
conscious method of expression for service.
5. Aquarius-Leo.—Personality interests as an expression of the
individual are submerged in the good of the whole. Selfish individual
man becomes the world server. Heights of noted service are then
reached in both signs.
6. Pisces-Virgo.—The form reveals and releases the indwelling
soul. The Saviour of the world appears and nurtures the hidden souls
in Virgo.

The rules
for the Technique of Light have been adequately laid down in
the Raja Yoga system of Patanjali, of which the five stages of
Concentration, Meditation, Contemplation, Illumination, and
Inspiration are illustrative...

***
In the
five stages of meditation (as usually taught) you have the
following: Concentration, meditation, contemplation, illumination and
inspiration. These five stages are paralleled in the five strictly
human signs of the zodiac:
1. Leo—Concentration—Soul life focussed in form.
Individualisation. Self-consciousness. Undeveloped and average man.
Human experience.
2. Virgo—Meditation—Soul life, as sensed in man, the gestation
period. The stage of the hidden Christ. Intelligent man. Personality,
as hiding the Christ life.
3. Libra—Contemplation—Life of soul and form is balanced.
Neither dominates. Equilibrium. An interlude wherein the soul
organises itself for battle and the personality waits. This is the
probationary path. Duality known.
4. Scorpio—Illumination—The soul triumphs. Experience in Taurus
consummated. Astral glamour dissipated. Soul light pours in. The Path
of Discipleship. The Disciple.
5. Sagittarius—Inspiration—Preparation for initiation. Soul
inspires personality life. Soul expresses itself through personality.
The Initiate.
I would here remind you that, though initiation is taken in
Capricorn, the man is an initiate before he is initiated. This is
the true secret of initiation.
