Agni Yoga - What Is A Yogi?

by Robert Wilkinson

Many have enthusiastically responded to my previous postings from Brotherhood by the illustrious Helena Roerich and her very advanced Master known as M. Given the superstitions of our present era regarding Yogis and the lack of understanding about their traits, here's a little gem from Agni Yoga, another remarkable 1st Ray teaching of this school of realization.

Astrology Class - The Quintile, Biquintile, 5-Pointed Star Patterns, Kite Configurations, and Void Points

by Robert Wilkinson

I was asked by a reader to explain the meaning of the void points of the current quintile-biquintile pattern between Venus, Mars, and Uranus and how they work. She wondered if a square to a void point mattered, and how to apply the void points of a pattern in our charts. Though technical, I figured my answers to her would help astrologers who frequent this site understand the very important area of aspect configurations, and add a new dimension of chart interpretation to their analyses of how charts work. For those with little knowledge of technical aspects of astrology, please bear with this post, since it is written for astrologers with a degree of knowledge regarding in-depth chart and aspect analysis.

Brotherhood, Agni Yoga, and Courage As the Light of Truth

by Robert Wilkinson

Helena and Nicholas Roerich were among the most important beings doing truly Spiritual work in the first half of the 20th Century. They were contemporaries of Gandhi, and worked for global disarmament and world peace through culture the last time the world was gripped by the Grand Irrationality. The thousands of paintings and writings of both are global treasures, and so I try to post a little from time to time. Here's another valuable piece from Brotherhood, the work of the legendary Helena Roerich and her First Ray Master.

Angels, Devas, Healing, and Group Work

by Robert Wilkinson

Today’s post from The Magic of Space will prove to be of interest to my readers on a healing path, whether healing themselves or healing others as a function of their worldly work and spiritual service. From Chapter 27, "Group Work," comes this gem:

It should be noted here that in true "group work," the highest phase of the work is that done between groups of disciples and groups of Devas, the groups of various Beings from the higher planes of existence. [Deva in Sanskrit is roughly equivalent to Angel in English - RW]

How To Deal With The General Weirdness of The Grand Irrationality

by Robert Wilkinson

This grew out of a conversation with a friend a while ago, and it's more relevant today than ever. If you're wondering why things are so weird right now, and there are many people and situations that don't make a lot of sense, well, it's been that way for a while, and will be for some time to come. The trick is to learn how to function effectively within the great weirdness without losing our balance and perspective. There are many I know who because of irrational or compulsive behavior on the part of others have had to radically re-evaluate which relationships are really working right now.

The I Ching on the Superior Being and the Inferior Being, and things to consider as we face the future

by Robert Wilkinson

From our old friend the venerable I Ching, a few words about discerning what is valuable or not, and the difference between the Higher Self and the ego. This ancient repository of Chinese wisdom written by Confucius is an amazing friend, having never given me bad advice in over 30 years. Not a bad track record. From Hexagram 27, Providing Nourishment: "If we wish to know what anyone is like, we have only to observe on whom he bestows his care and what sides of his own nature he cultivates and nourishes." Read on for some pearls of pure wisdom.
