Sagittarius is sometimes depicted as an archer on a white horse,
signifying the orientation of man towards a definite goal. The keynote
of the archer is aspiration and direction, and later, the goal of
initiation. In Sagittarius, we see the one-pointedness of the
disciple.

"I see the goal. I reach that goal and then I see another."

When this faculty of sensitive direction is rightly developed, it
becomes, in the early stages, an effort to identify all soul and
personality activity with God's Plan.

Students should do well to regard initiation as a determining process
in life, and should endeavor that every life experience or cycle of
life experiences should work out as an initiation into a wider field
of awareness, of expression and of resultant contact.

One of the major underlying themes in Sagittarius is that of
Direction. When this faculty of sensitive direction is rightly
developed, it becomes, in the early stages, an effort to identify all
soul and personality activity with God's Plan.

In Sagittarius, the disciple has 2 things to discover within himself;
these are the power to make progress upon the path and to walk the
Way, and also the ability to create in the higher and spiritual sense.
This concerns the relationship between the sacral and throat centers.

Other keynotes are:

- a clear shaft of light which is the intuitive and focused attitude
of the pledged disciple.
- the returning arrow of the intuition, for it is the shaft of the
arrow of aspiration which returns to the sender as the arrow of the
intuition. Sagittarius is one of the intuitive signs.
- idealism which is the power to see the vision and to direct one's
course towards it.

This is the work of Mars, the expression of the 6th Ray.

"I see the goal. I reach that goal and then I see another."

Speaking symbolically, and remembering that symbols always veil a
truth, it might be stated that, at the time of the full moon it is as
if a door were suddenly opened wide, which at other times stands
closed. Through that door, aspirants and disciples can contact
energies which are otherwise not easily available. Through that door,
approach can be made to Those Who guide the race and to truth and
reality, which at other times is not possible. Of this, all who stand
on either side of the door can avail themselves, and this will be so
increasingly.

At the time of the full moon festivals, the moon stands on the far
side of the earth, away from the sun. This leaves a full, direct and
unimpeded relationship between the earth and the sun, the source of
our life, energy and consciousness, symbolic of the relationship
between the human personality and the soul.

Each festival covers a special period of five days (two days
preceding, the day of the Festival, and the two following days), with
the climax on the day of the Festival itself, when women and men of
goodwill can cooperate much more effectively than at other times, in
meditation and through the direction of energy, with the spiritual
Hierarchy and those who stand behind the evolution of consciousness of
our planet.

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Contact' by Alice A. Bailey, from the Arcane School

Hundreds of meditation groups all around the world gather every week
and at the time of the full moon. They join together in service to
humanity and are stepping down energies which are helping transform
the world, as it struggles to move out of the dark and into the
light.
