The Aquarius Papers – A Spiritual Starship

by Robert Wilkinson

This article is the first of three major milestones for the Aquarius Papers. What you are reading is the 10,000th article on this platform. In about 2 weeks we’ll celebrate the 20th anniversary of the launching of this Starship, and sometime in June we’ll hit 16 million page views. While these numbers don’t include the 1000+ articles and millions of page views on the original Salon platform, it’s safe to say no one else has ever hit these numbers before. Today we take a look around at the spiritual portals found on this site.

The header “Aquarius Papers – Global Astrology” was always meant to be the primary focus. However, the subheader “Using Astrology, Spirit, and Archetypes to move and groove through the intersections of Fate and Free Will” is equally important, since astrology gives us a roadmap and weather report for our Life journey, but we are the ones doing the walking and talking. That’s also why as a spiritual Astrologer, my focus has always been on the birth chart as the energetic hologram for our personality as it becomes a vehicle for our Soul/Spirit.

We are Spirits in the material world. We have a body, feelings, and a mind but we ARE a Soul/Spirit, eternals having a human experience. This is my approach to reading charts and how I teach astrology. We are here to integrate our personality so that we can express our Higher Self effectively, courageously, compassionately, and consistently. That is the only reason we are on Earth as we live our lives within great Human Laws which remind us that all forms pass away, the Golden Rule works, and Love is the way.

In the past two days I’ve written about how when I began I couldn’t imagine the numbers I gave you in the first paragraph, nor that it would eventually become the largest free interactive astrological school library on Earth. Besides thousands of astrological articles and hundreds more where astrology intersects with spirituality, there are countless spiritual essays in the archives covering hundreds of elements of our spiritual quest.

As there are many facets to our quest for truth, I’ve offered articles about the nature of the lower self and the Higher Self, the nature of human challenges and the power we have to transcend limitations by using the spiritual skills within us. We can turn our energies to better expression any time we want to accept the task. I’ve offered tools and insights so that regardless of the challenges they go through, readers may become the person they aspire to be in conscious cooperation with Dharma/Tao, living the Life which fulfills them and serves a higher purpose.

There are also a few dozen articles about dealing with the grief all human beings feel. All of them address different facets of the human as well as archetypal dimensions of grief. Everyone on Earth has lost loved ones. What I offer here will help you through the dark night of your Soul. We all are here to go to the depths and learn what we have to learn to help others who also are shipwrecked in hell. All the articles published on January 9 offer help to those who grieve the loss of a loved one.

I have countless articles on karma, examined from every possible angle. I’ve covered personal karma, social karma, family karma, friendship karma, partnership karma, marriage karma, all seen through the lens of the universal lessons and truths we all must accept to become spiritual adults.

There are articles about how the family, society, and friendship matrix we’re raised in help and hinder us, and the power we have to change the trajectory of our karma by consciously focusing on replacing negative orientations with productive intention. There are articles about toxic people and how to deal with them, the sources of suffering and the antidotes to suffering, and many more subjects designed to assist readers to awaken to the power we have to become a Light in the darkness, a Sanctuary in the storm, and a joy in the community. Here are 50 of many hundreds of articles on various spiritual topics:

All these and more are in the archives. There are a lot more articles about karma and our life relationships, though you may want to get a copy of The Magic of Venus: Friendships, Soul Mates, and Twin Flames since that’s got just about everything one could want to learn about the relationships we’re born into and those who come and go throughout our lives. And in Saturn: Spiritual Master, Spiritual Friend, I offer my take on various types of “little k” karmas and “Big K” Karmas, and their function in bringing us out of error and into our connection with past and present humanity through awakening our heart and Soul as spiritual forces at our disposal. These two books together will help you take command of your personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal dimensions of life and express your Higher Self.

There are a large number of volumes of major spiritual works on the bottom left column of this site. Every time I find something venerable or good source material I put a link there. All of those are free sites, so you have hundreds of great spiritual works at your fingertips! “Light on the Path.” “Through the Gates of Gold.” “The Voice of the Silence.” “The Mahatma Letters to AP Sinnett.” “The Tarot – Key to the Wisdom of the Ages.” “Initiation Human and Solar.” The Agni Yoga works. The Wisdom of Ram Dass. The Sacred Texts Library. The Nag Hammadi scriptures. There is enough wisdom in a few links to last you a lifetime, so please visit when you can.

So it’s 10,000 done, and more to go! In the future I may cut back on some of the astrological technicalities and take a different approach to some subjects, and of course I have other books to work on, including one I think is fantastic about the Cycles of Life, how we develop, and what we can expect with each passing year. Fifth Ray Publishing needs another book, and I have several more beyond this one. At some point I’ll be doing short instructional videos for a Fifth Ray Channel in the future.

Our 20th birthday is on the way!

Aum and blessings,

Professor Robert

Congratulations Robert! I've been reading you for what must be the past 13 or 14 years and I have you to thank for helping me steer and sometimes, "course-correct" in the daily dances of Life. Thank you for all you have shared and all the wisdom and knowledge you have yet to drop upon us.

Aho!
