The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation. George W. Carey

СКАЧАТЬ are two periods in a year when the days and nights are of equal lengths, and they are termed equinoxes. The first, occurring on March twenty-first, is the Spring equinox; exactly six months later we have the Fall equinox.

      The Sun, then, crossing the equinoctial line, or equator, on the twenty-first of March, is said to bring the first day of Spring, for there is an awakening, a spring-ing up and therefore a resurrection of all Nature. Indeed, very, very few realize anything at all of the sacred out-pouring, a flood-tide of heavenly power, of spiritual electricity which charges not only the earth but all human beings who are able to receive it. Each human being is a battery, an aggregation of cells, and the law governing its charging is exactly the same as that with which electricians are familiar. It must have the necessary material to attract electricity, the proper kind and the right quantity. A knowledge of the cell-salts, such as is contained in Schuessler’s Biochemistry, solves the problem.

      Few are so dull as to escape entirely the glamour and glory of the days when the first faint misty green appears, when mating birds fly hither and thither, and virgin earth prepares to pour out her bountiful gifts that man may be fed from her bosom.

      But what does it mean to those who sense its approach and to whom its arrival brings keenest joy and a deep and abiding satisfaction? They are being resurrected, for their minds are actually expanding under the influence of that same God-power; the brain substance is being acted on by Cosmic Electricity outpoured from the cerebrum of the Grand Man.

      This is the time, then, to begin one’s labors, for the charged battery must begin to work—to be utilized. Would that humanity could realize this mighty fact! But human batteries are functioning poorly, the currents are weak, the cells actually corroded. The great reservoir of unlimited electrical power is ever present in the universe—Spirit is never deficient. The trouble lies only in the human battery. It can not contact what it has no power to attract. This is the mysterious chemical secret that has been hidden from man by his own ignorance, and it is this secret which this chapter will reveal, for it is Kali phos which is the casket that holds this priceless gem.

      The terrific impetus back of all natural phenomena at this time is the reason that this period of the year is termed Spring. The rabbit is one of the symbols of Spring and of Easter, as it jumps or springs in moving about. The story of the universe and of man has been brought down through the ages under many forms, among these being animal symbols. Those born at this time of the year usually walk with a springing step.

      At this season we find the Sun actually springing or climbing up into the heavens until it reaches its highest point, that of the Summer solstice. This is the longest day of the year. The Sun is said to be at its greatest declination, resting, as it were, before going on its journey, but pausing to accomplish something special. The date is approximately June twenty-first.

      Six months later we have the Winter solstice, when the sun reaches its lowest point, and on December twenty-first, approximately, again appears to rest. The Summer solstice is, therefore, ninety degrees away from the Spring equinox, and the same number of degrees from the Fall equinox; while the Winter solstice is ninety degrees from both the Spring and Fall equinoxes. These facts are very important to remember and must become fixed in the mind, as these four points constitute the cardinal cross of Nature and of the human body as well. The signs having to do with these points of the cross are Aries, Cancer. Libra and Capricorn.

      Signs that are ninety degrees away from each other are said to be square. This is also an important point to fix in the mind in order to read one’s chart correctly. The word square is used for the same reason that both practical and theoretical Masons employ it. When understood, the problem of squaring one’s circle is solved; for the four signs of one’s cross form four squares. In making the bodily correction represented by each square one automatically eliminates the cross, and squares the circle. This constitutes the great work.

      Truly, this is the cross upon which each one is crucified.

      And most emphatically is it a cross of matter, a chemical cross. The story of each one’s individual cross will be given in a forthcoming book on The Biochemic System of Body Building and Astro-Chemical Analysis.

      The Spring equinox, therefore, is the return or springing up of creative energy, while the Fall equinox is. the falling or going down, the decreasing or diminishing of the power of the sun or energy. Autumn is derived from the Latin auctus meaning enriched, thus bringing out the idea of harvest time, the gathering in of the increase of the year.

      The out-pouring time of Nature takes place in what is termed the first month of the astrological year, which begins March twenty-first, and lasts until April twenty-first. During this time the sun is transiting or passing through the constellation of Aries, the Lamb or Ram of the zodiac. It is really termed the April month or sign, as it covers two weeks of the latter and only one of the former.

      The process going on during this period in Nature and in man is again brought to our attention by the interpretation of the word April. It is derived from the Latin aperio and means to uncover, to lay bare, to expose to view, therefore to open, to render accessible. Thus the great creative power of Nature is rendered accessible at this time, which is not only a time but a certain definite place in Nature and in man’s body.

      From time immemorial the signs of the zodiac have been allocated with the parts of the human body. Whatever other interpretations were given, the physiological application came first.

      Astrology deals with the body (anatomy) of the Grand Man (the universe) and by analogy, with the body of man. This is a fact that has for the most part been lost sight of, because the mighty science of the macrocosm and the microcosm has been perverted into fortune telling. No wonder so few are interested in it; no wonder so many laugh at and deride it, for they have good reason to. Astrologers, so-called, are for the most part not working for or with Uranus. However, the number of those who are doing so is slowly and surely increasing.

      One of the oldest and most common forms in which the signs of the zodiac have been brought down through the ages is in the figure of man, with the glyph of Aries and a gamboling or up-springing Lamb above his head. On the right, from the neck, a line or arrow points to a reclining bull and the symbol of Taurus; on the left from the shoulder is a pointer to two seated children and the symbol of Gemini, and so on to the two fish crossed underneath the feet. The latter gives us the story of the Cross and the religion or scientific story of the fishermen, irrefutable evidence of the one purpose of astrology, which is to give mankind complete information relative to the process, chemical and physiological, whereby perfection and illumination may be attained.

      From an understanding, then, of the word Aries, the first or head sign of the zodiac, we obtain its physiological allocation. It is of Latin derivation and means ram. The Latin lexicon also gives battering-ram, prop or beam as other derivatives, all having the same basic idea. The ram, as an animal, is known to butt or bat with its head, when engaged in conflict. But the word ram comes to us from the Sanskrit, and means high. Ram in a Hindu name is evidence that one bearing it is of high caste.

      The top of the head is the highest part of the body, and man differentiates himself from an animal by elevating his head, or walking upright. In Hebrew, the top of the head is named calvary, for its literal meaning is bare skull. It is truly the place of ascension.

      There are many references in the Scriptures to lofty elevations. One says: “Look toward the holy mountain from whence cometh thy help.” As the Bible and all ancient and sacred writings are physiological, the above quotation refers to the upper brain or cerebrum, in which is the marvelous All-Seeing Eye, or center of understanding.

      The brain of man is the organ of mind. If the latter functions well, he is helped and all is well, for he helps himself by doing that which brings about the best result. There are also many statements in this same book СКАЧАТЬ
