according   to   Genesis�察   �to   guard   the   way   of   the   tree   of   life�察─  �and   such�察�

esoterically�察�it really is。 

     The     soul   is  no    longer    dual�察  �but   separated     into   male    and    female 

personalities�察 �and behold they see that they are naked。; Stripped of their 

spiritual raiment�察�they feel the chill of matter and the lusts of an animal 

nature。 They need clothing�察 �so God made them coats of skin。; Sex is the 

symbolism   herein   typified�察  �and   the   evolution   of   the   animal   passions   of 

procreation�察�of multiplication and evolution。 It is the complete entry of the 

soul   into   elemental   conditions�察 �and   the  flaming   sword   guarding   the   four 

quarters   of   the   Earth   to   the   way   of   life   are   the   four   great   realms   of   the 

astral world�察�the way to physical life in concrete forms�察�and the way to life 

eternal     through      the    realms     of   the   Sylphs�察     �Gnomes�察      �Undines      and 

Salamanders。 They are the basis of all matter�察�known as Air�察�Earth�察�Water 

and     Fire。   Here     we    see   that�察  �through     the   evolution      of  sex    and    its 

accompanying   desire   for   procreation�察  �these   blind   forces   of   Nature   find 

their    avenue     of   expression。      Spiritual    consciousness        almost    lost�察  �and 

without reason�察�the soul becomes the prey�察�so to say�察�of these forces of the 

astral   world�察  �which   is   the   realm   of   design。 The   soul's   creations   must   be 

met and vanquished upon the upward arc of the Cycle of Progress。 They 

guard or oppose the way to eternal life。 Here the soul�察�having gained the 

victory�察  �stripped   forever   of   its   earthy   raiment   and   the   lusts   of   the   flesh�察�

arrayed once more in its spiritual raiment�察�purified and sanctified�察�it will 

stand once more at the gates of Paradise�察�where�察�reunited with its missing 

half�察�it will partake of the fruit of the Tree of Life and become as Gods。 

Astrologically the correspondence is perfect�察�and so thinly disguised as to 

need no explanation。 

        IX。 Sagittarius 

        ;Him Centaur follows with an aiming eye�察�His bow full´drawn�察�and 

ready to let fly。; 

     Deeper and deeper sinks the soul into material forms。 The evolution of 

sex   has   produced   the   necessary   avenues   for   the   entrance   of   countless 

forces�察�and the soul is now rapidly losing the last vestiges of its spiritual 

conscience。   In   other   words�察  �Sagittarius   symbolizes   that   state   of   the   soul 

wherein   it   is   descending       to   its  polarizing   point�察  �and    is�察  �therefore�察  �the

vortex   of   innumerable   opposing   forces�察  �seeking   expression   in   different 

forms。 

     ;It is the bow ��strength or force of the soul���察�FULL´drawn and ready to 

let   fly;   its   arrows   ��of   energy��   in   any   direction   that   may   afford   proper 

opportunity。 Here we see the expression of that deathless�察�fiery force�察�and 

imperious daring and courage�察�within more material states�察�the primal fire 

reflected from another angle。 

     But everything is unsettled。 It is a masculine force�察�and restless�察�and is 

represented   under   the   allegory   of   the       ;Tower   of   Babel;   and   the      utter 

dispersion   of   the   people   ��entities��   to   the   four   corners   of   the   Earth�察  �and 

finally becomes involved in dense matter�察�and its migrations are at an end 

on this side of the Cycle of Necessity。 

     Upon   the   astrological   plane�察  �the   zodiacal   sign   Sagittarius   rules   the 

motive      forces     and    the   pedestrian     instinct�察   �the   thighs�察    �or   basis   of 

locomotion�察�hence�察�we see�察�even here�察�a most perfect analogy。 This   sign 

symbolizes�察       �also�察  �the   governing      forces    of   humanity�察     �which     see   the 

necessity of law and order�察�hence government。 In this expression�察�we find 

the   bow   ��strength   or   force��   ready   to   let   fly   its   arrows   of   energy   in   any 

direction   the   opportunity   may   afford�察  �when   refracted   upon   the   human 

organism and reflected upon the external plane�察�these forces manifest as 

the    restless    spirit�察 �that   ever    impels     onward�察     �seeking     new    fields   of 

expression�察�out of which develops a sense of order�察�restraining and training�察�

or the governing of self and control of others。 When we reflect upon these 

symbols   of   starry  truths   the   mind   bows   in   reverence   before   the   wisdom 

that created them。 

       X。 Capricorn 

       ;Next narrow horns the twisted Caper shows。; 

     The   Goat�察  �and   in   the   realms   of   spirit�察  �the   crystallized   mineral   is   the 

reaction   of   the   former�察  �and   shows   to   us   death�察  �inertia   and   rest�察  �hence 

Kronos�察�or Saturn�察�the symbol of death�察�is lord of this state and condition。 

It is the polarizing   point of the soul's evolution in matter�察�and therefore�察�

forms the lowest are in the Cycle of Necessity。 

     Herein we  behold   the  soul�察 �imprisoned within the  mineral   state。 The 

fire of   the   flint�察  �and the   spark   in the   crystal�察  �are the only  avenues   of its 



                                               33

lonesome expressions。 But�察�as the lowest point�察�it is also the promise of a 

higher�察�and the symbol of a higher state�察�and the symbol of another spiral 

in its endless life。 

     This    constellation�察    �as  the   symbol     of  inertia   and   death�察  �is  also   the 

symbol   of   awakening   life�察  �and   prepares   the   soul   for   the   more   perfect 

expression of its powers in its forthcoming upward journey。 If we pause 

for a moment and consider the force and power necessary to evolve out of 

this dark�察�dense�察�mineral realm�察�the foregoing sentence will become clear 

and forcible。 Hitherto�察�the soul has been slowly drawn down into coils of 

matter�察�imprisoned by material forces。 It has penetrated the lowest depths�察�

and can go no farther。 Rest here�察�is to gather strength�察�force。 Mark well the 

difference and parallel between Cancer and Capricorn�察�opposite points in 

the    arc。  Cancer     is  the  symbol      of  exalted    rest  within    angelic    realms�察�

Capricorn the   symbol   of   rest   in   dense   matter。  From  the   former   state   the 

soul is impelled forward on its downward journey�察�from the latter state the 

soul awakens to the struggle for life on the upward are�察�and must now give 

expression       to  the  positive    powers     of   its  immortal     being�察  �which     have 

become involved in material form�察�that shall make it the master�察�and give
