This knowledge is of the utmost importance to parents, as a
proper understanding of the development which should take place in each of the septenary
epochs enables the educator to work intelligently with nature and thus fulfill more
thoroughly the trust of a parent than those who are ignorant of the Rosicrucian Mystery
Teaching. We shall therefore devote the remaining pages to an elucidation of this matter and
of the importance of the knowledge of astrology upon the part of the parent.
The
Mystery of Light, Color and Consciousness.
“God is Light,” says the Bible,
and we are unable to conceive of a grander simile of His Omnipresence, or the mode of His
manifestation. Even the greatest telescopes have failed to reach the boundaries of light,
though they reveal to us stars millions of miles from the earth, and we may well ask
ourselves, as did the Psalmist of old: Whither shall I flee from Thy Presence? If I ascend
into heaven Thou art there, If I make my bed in the grave (the Hebrew word sheolmeans grave and not hell), Thou art
there, If I take the wings[pg 188]of morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there shall
thy hand lead me.
When, in the dawn of Being, God the Fatherenunciated
The Word, and
The Holy
Spiritmoved upon the sea of homogeneous Virgin Matter, primeval
Darkness was
turned toLight.
That is therefore the prime manifestation of Deity, and a study of the principles of
Light will reveal to the mystic intuition a wonderful source of spiritual inspiration. As
it would take us too far afield from our subject we shall not enter into an elucidation
of that theme here, except so far as to give an elementary idea of how divine Life
energizes the human frame and stimulates to action.
