Equilibrium Journey continues to deepen my understanding of individual bottles while also offering fascinating insights in to the system as a whole. Here is one example that has arisen in a recent course.

41 42 and 43

When we look at the 40’s as a sequence we have to think about B4. The 40’s develop the theme of the 4. In Equilibrium 4 is the Yellow / Gold. This combination also connects with the Tarot card of the Emperor - the one who rules this world. For a long time I had a question about B4.

Why does B4 contain two colours not one?

B2 is Blue / Blue and B6 is Red / Red. So why should B4 be Yellow and Gold rather than simply Yellow / Yellow? In time I came to realise that the two colours here was perfect. The clue was in the Tarot card of the Emperor where he is wearing armour on his legs. Despite all his power he remains afraid. This is the consequence of the ego ruling the conscious mind while the soul remains buried in the unconscious. Yellow over Gold.

An echo in the 40s

Imagine then how immensely I was when I finally realised how amazing it is that this Yellow / Gold theme returns so strongly at the start of the 40s sequence. 41 is Gold / Gold and 42 is Yellow / Yellow. The very two colours of B4 appearing again! But even more fascinating is that this time the relationship between these two colours is changed: here it is not Yellow over Gold but now Gold preceding Yellow. When we consider the meaning of number this change is very significant because it says that gold - as the 1 - is more important than the yellow which now follows as the 2.

Healing the Emperor

This change in relationship between Gold and Yellow is in fact the solution to the predicament of the Emperor. While yellow relates to our sense of self, but a self that is limited to this space and time; gold is something more - it relates to a deeper level of consciousness - the soul level. The understanding is that while the yellow self is something we experience in this life, the soul is something that journeys from life to life. If the Emperor within us can bow to the soul within then his fears of this life will diminish as this life becomes a learning experience for the soul more than a challenge for worldly success alone. From an Aura-Soma point of view it is entirely fitting that the gold should lead the yellow. And this change in relationship between ego and soul makes possible the next step. The 43.

Turquoise and Individuation

What then of the 43 Turquoise / Turquoise?  For 1, 2, 3 we can think “Ready, Steady, Go.” 3 is the flow that follows from 1 and 2. So here we have 41, 42, 43. Gold is now the main actor, the ego is following the main action, and 43 then becomes the process the flow that arises from this.

From a soul point of view however we don’t come to earth to be right or powerful, we come here to (amongst other things) evolve as a soul. This is the individuation process that Carl Jung first indentified and which is now an important idea in Aura-Soma too.
And the key is that this process relates to the soul not the ego. The soul is the 1, the ego follows as the 2. So the soul is the main subject of the turquoise individuation process. Amazing these three colours should follow each other in this way with these numbers!

41, 42, 43.
Soul, ego, individuation.
Gold Yellow Turquoise.
It is a perfect fit of Aura-Soma colour, number and life!

And 44?

Well with its pale colours it is almost the exact opposite of what you would expect from a double Emperor. Yet the perfection of Aura-Soma continues. As the emperor bows his ego to his soul and surrenders to the teaching evolving energy of turquoise he is transmuted through trust. The very thing that caused the Emperor to wear his armour - his fear - is now dissolving. The Emperor bows to above. And in so doing he is opening the door for the Master sequence that begins at 50.

Final Thoughts

The deeper I go with Aura-Soma the more it amazes me. The perfection of the sequence is a revelation to me. As I say when introducing the Equilibrium Journey concept, it is the Equilibrium sequence itself which is the greatest teacher, and the sequence itself is Aura-Soma’s most treasured book. The Equilibrium courses are the chance to read and learn from this most amazing book. Courses are in Japan February 4 – 7 and in Holland in September.

The latest Equilibrium bottle - B107

Opalescent Turquoise / Deep Magenta

In my previous post on B107 I wrote about the silence, the mystery and the unfamiliar in Tzaphkiel.

Also on Tzaphkiel’s role as the intelligence in Binah that enables spirit to create and enter matter.

Here are some further ideas on the times in which B107 has been born.

Synchronicities

What is the big world event this week other than birth of B107? Well yes the Copenhagen Climate Conference but, putting that aside for a moment, it is the release of 2009’s most awaited film:

Avatar

The most expensive film of the year - if not the decade, the release of this film has been postponed time and again. It is finally released tonight, the very first Friday following the birth of B107. Its central premise, the reason for the name of the film itself, fits absolutely with the theme of Tzaphkiel: the possibiilty of light / consciousness to enter form. (the word avatar derives from the ancient indian language of sanskrit and signifies the appearance of a god in this world, its deeper root meaning to “descend” or “cross over” ) So tonight the gift of Tzaphkiel will be shown to the world even if those who see it have never heard of Archangels, Kabballah, Aura-Soma or B107.

In case you do not yet know about the film - it is the story of a human being who enters a specially created body, the Avatar. This new body with its sparkling blue skin (the film company’s exact words! ) enables the man to enter and live in another world. From the colour of the Avatar being almost exactly the same as the top fraction of B107, to the strange, other-worldliness of the Avatar’s appearance resonating with the unfamiliar energies behind B107, these are amazing coincidences.

From this basic premise Avatar develops into an action movie, a love story, with themes of finding the courage to do the right thing, choosing harmony with Nature, and fighting the commercial / industrial powers that see the world purely as a commodity without respect for life.

All this of course leads us to …

The Copenhagen Climate Summit

The other big world event this week – and even as I write this world leaders are frantically searching for a wording that all countries can sign to. The possibility of stepping in to our light potential is very acute just now. The Climate Summit is the test of whether we are willing to work towards a better future together. Will there be an agreement to co-operate or not? Is it possible there could be a deal that is fair to both rich and poor, to both industrialised and developing nations?

Gretel and Hansel

Questions like this bring to my mind Gretel and Hansel, B92 and B93. The coral for co-operation between male (turquoise) and female (olive). We have the rich northern hemisphere (male) and the underdeveloped southern (female) hemisphere. The main divide in this Summit has been between rich and poor nations. For once the poor nations operating in a more democratic voting system of one country / one vote have found more voice and power. We have to learn to honour not only the Earth on which we live but also each other. The northern hemisphere has taken the most in the Piscean Age, will it now be able to allow a redress of balance?

What have B92 and B93 to do with B107? Well the fact that B107 contains turquoise creates a significant echo to B92 and B93. Why? Because if we look at the three most recent bottles B105 Coral / Coral, B106 Pale Olive / Pale Violet and now B107 Opalescent Turquoise / Deep Magenta, we find a repeat of the coral - olive - turquoise sequence! These three colours in B92 and B93 opened the door to B94 and the Archangel sequence in Equilibrium. Now we come to, what in theory at least, could be the completion of the Archangel sequence (with Zaphkiel there is finally an Archangel bottle for each sphere of the Tree) and, with this possible completion, we see in Copenhagen a possible turning point for humanity to step up to collective challenge and opportunity.

Planetary Consciousness and the Turquoise Ray

The Aura-Soma New Aeon Tarot image for the Turquoise Master - Maha Chohan - shows a being that is dreaming this world. (I say this because you can see that planet Earth sits in Maha Chohan’s 8th chakra.) As delegates sit in Copenhagen it strikes me that to truly care for the Earth we have to not only respect each other (B92 and B93) but it will also be really helpful to enter into resonance with the planetary consciousness itself. This Tarot image shows that it is the Turquoise Ray which is the key to planetary consciousness and, now with the birth of B107, we have been given the rescue energy for this Turquoise Ray.

I just found this quote on the internet from Pablo Solon, the Bolivian ambassador at the United Nations in New York. He said “…we must begin to change our relationship to nature in this new century. The main way to do that is to recognize that not only we humans have rights, but also that our Mother Earth, our nature has rights, rights that we must respect.” He went on to say, though not in these words, … it is not a question of trading numbers such as carbon credits between rich and poor, but a change in our hearts about our relationship to the earth itself.
This is the best of planetary consciousness in a turquoise week!

This leads us back to Avatar! A man entered another body and consequently changed his consciousness, his priorities and, ultimately, his choice of actions.

Finally

So it is beautiful that this turquoise rescue appears as a support for the light within us
The part that can say “Yes we can.” Of course we don’t know what is really important here, a “Yes” or a “No”. Perhaps a disappointing “No” from Copenhagen will fuel the pressure for a stronger “Yes” at the end of B107’s time.

So we come to more of Mike’s words on the themes of B107: “Where we have become over-identified and fatigued by circumstance — losing sight of our bigger purpose — the rescue aspect of the Turquoise of B107 invites us into the grace of unfoldment and the wonder of allowing ourselves to simply step into the flow of our fulfilment..”

This is the key.

What happened to the titles of the past? Madam and Sir, Mister and Mrs etc. As we enter deeper into the turquoise age these words become increasingly rare in daily exchanges. How will we address each other in the future? I believe their replacements are already here, just emerging in a form we have yet to recognise: the Avatar.

This thinking began last week. A friend was telling me that Russians have some uncertainty these days in how to address each other. In Tsarist days the word was “Gaspardin” – the English equivalent would be something like “Sir”. In Soviet times the title was “Tavaresh” – (not Comrade as I always imagined - but something of similar meaning). Since the end of the Soviet system a new title has yet to emerge. They neither wish to continue the Soviet title, nor return to the Tsarist past. “Young man” and “girl” are two forms of address that are used but are often inappropriate.

In the UK we have a similar situation. When an insurance assessor visited my house recently, I did not know whether to address him as “Mister …”- (too formal) , or by his first name (too informal). In the end I simply did not address him by name at all.

So what has this to do with turquoise? First of all I have understood that titles require at least some social structure if not a social hierarchy. Thus in the USA – a country that offered a land of opportunity for all including the chance to be free of the social hierarchies of the Old World of Europe - names are far more important. In the USA for example, your waiter will introduce himself by name before serving you. The Aquarian Age is all about the individual – and to have titles would bury this. The all important question for turquoise is “Who am I?” Thus In the Aquarian Age our name – our most individual identity - is more important than any title.

So will there be a new title appearing? I think it is already happening – but in an entirely new form. The social medium of the future is the internet, and in this virtual world, the technology to create virtual representations of our self is well under way – from the choice to create our own user name, to the use of an image that represents something of us, to a full blown avatar able to move and express itself with its own style. For some the avatar will be their mask, for others their dream, and for a few their truth. In any case though, it will always be the unique presentation of our self to the world.

Titles are dead, long live the avatar.

PS And funnily enough – as I do a word count on finishing – I find this piece totals 462 words. That is a 4 - Yellow / Gold – the colour for the self, and 62 - Maha Chohan – the Pale Turquoise / Pale Turquoise which is the colour energy that is driving this change!

A few days between courses in Japan and I am staying in Okayama. One of my hobbies is to relate a place with its telephone code and the equivalent Aura-Soma colour combination. Okayama is 086 which indicates the B86 bottle Oberon – Clear / Turquoise. There have been some (in the literal sense) extra-ordinary episodes.

Recently, while watching the Olympics opening ceremony, I noticed how much I enjoy doing something that connects me with other people in that same moment. For the opening ceremony there were an estimated 1 billion people tuning in to the same event at the same time, it was a global moment. This is the idea of synchronicity, it is the idea of meeting in time. It is a green theme.

Through history the idea that you had to be there to share the moment is fundamental. Had i turned the TV on that evening i would not have been able to see the opening ceremony unfold - i would not have been sharing it in real time with other people. I would not have been in synchronicity with the event.

In our modern world i am noticing a new way of relating to the world emerge. New technology is making it easier and easier to access events in your own time, when you want to.  First with specialist internet services - downloading films rather than renting them from the shop, and now increasingly these services are entering the public mainstream. Podcasts and downloads from the radio are increasingly common, and in the UK this year, the BBC has launched iPlayer which allows people to watch any tv programme from the last 7 days according to their own schedule - in their own time.

This is the fact, we are moving to a new way of relating to the world - the way of “in our own time”. New technology is making this possible. New technology is connected to Turquoise, as are also themes of individuation - being true to our individuality. The growing freedom to make our own choices, to experience life as we choose.  This trend has a downside, it fragments us socially (turquoise is opposite to coral - the energy of the collective), how easy is it to talk to someone in public if they are listening to their music on their headphones?

This growing turquoise reality of living in our own time is taking energy away from the significance of our shared experiences in the “real time” of green. Einstein’s work on relativity showed the way for this new paradigm, he realised that time is relative, relative to our position and movement through space. We are becoming a community of fragmented individual points of consciousness, each with increasing freedom to live in our own time.

There are so many ways to continue this theme from here

Aquarius and Leo - freedom and the shadow of central power

Changing work and study patterns - the disintegration of the family

The Aura-Soma original Tarot image of B85 The Chariot - Pegasus taking off from the earth. Very fitting to the themes of this idea. Under the sphere of Saturn, return journey of Yellow / Green.

From the Green / Red earthbound axis of the Colour Rose to the Turquoise / Coral axis which frees us from the earth, just as the internet circles the earth, information / energy flowing around it.
