Cycles is a monthly publication of The School of Ageless
Wisdom. The members of the School are experimenting with
rejoining astrology and astronomy. The experiment is called Astrochemistry and involves astronomical calculation to determine
cyclic energy patterns and the works of the Masters D.K., M.,

these cycles. This information is intended to be useful in daily life.
Disciple/Initiate: Virgo – The Christ activity. The Light.
The sign Virgo is one of the most
significant in the zodiac for its symbology concerns the whole goal of the
evolutionary process which is to shield,
nurture and finally reveal the hidden
spiritual reality. This every form veils, but
the human form is equipped and fitted to
manifest it in a manner different to any
other expression of divinity and so make
tangible and objective that for which the
whole creative process was intended.
Gemini and Virgo are closely related but
Gemini presents the pairs of opposites–
soul and body–as two separate entities
whereas in Virgo, they are blended and
of great and supreme importance to
each other; the mother protects the germ
of the Christ life; matter guards, cherishes and nurtures the hidden soul. The
keynote which embodies the truth as to
the mission of Virgo most accurately is
“Christ in you, the hope of glory.” There
is no clearer or more adequate definition
of this sign than that; I would have you

35. How do men understand the law
of Hierarchy? How do they fulfill all the
laws of life? How do they intensify in
themselves the best strivings? Verily, the
law of Hierarchy is understood as one’s
own right; it is forgotten that a Hierarch
is a link of a chain and One who fulfills
the Will of a Higher One. Only thus can
one respond to the higher assignment.
Only thus can one fulfill the trust and
accumulate the fires in the Chalice.

to himself the affirmed right, he can
achieve only through the fulfillment of
the Higher Command.
52. Do not accustom the young ones to
expect great manifestations according to
their human measure. Such an outworn
measure does not correspond to reality,
for even in a physical sense people have
greatly distorted the concept of immensity. The mind cannot comprehend that
only the result defines the true grandeur.
Each action can be measured only in
accordance with its relation to Hierarchy
and Infinity. Thus, these concepts will
be like signs leading to reality. Hence,
teach the young ones to think first of
Infinity, remembering, moreover, that no
one should compare himself to a minute
grain of sand as is usually the way of
hypocrites. Our measure is guaranteed
by an immense responsibility. We shall
not err in measuring according to responsibility.
53. During the construction of the
designated undertakings it should be
remembered that construction always
progresses onward. During a construction in the name of the Lord there is
only one way that brings us the Creative
Source-the way of the mighty Hierarchy,
the path of the powerful guidance of the
Great Service. Therefore, adhering to
the creative principle impels the spirit
to the affirmed law of Hierarchy. Each
construction requires the realization of
upward striving. Hence, only the law of
obedience to Hierarchy can give a legitimate tensity. Only thus can one realize
the path leading to the mighty Infinity.

Each month a
co-worker shares
insight on a
particular subject
related to discipleship.
TO TEENAGE MOTHERS DURING PREGNANCY
by Gloria Crook
You already know you have a little
life growing inside you. There is some
interesting information to help you establish a close relationship with your
son or daughter between now and
the time of birth. If you do not intend
to keep your baby, the baby will have
a relationship with you, nevertheless,
and it should be one of caring.
First, your baby is much more aware
of what you are doing than you might
imagine. The baby knows when you are
speaking to anyone and also the “quality” of the speech. To get an idea, put
your ear on the shoulder of any friend
and have them say a few words in a
normal sentence. You will hear through
the bones and flesh, the speech. Your
Baby listens to everything you say.
Babies have an ability to sense when
you are happy or sad. They respond
likewise. A happy mother makes a baby
contented within the womb. This is determined by the amount of rampant,
reactive activity as opposed to gentle,
peaceful movements of the mother.
Until you are beginning the seventh
month of your pregnancy, your main
concern is for the baby’s health. You
must have a nourishing diet, with no
alcohol or stimulants which will definitely affect the baby. Vegetables, fruit,
nuts, berries and whole grains should
be your staples for health. Little or no
sugar is the best, but try and not have
too much in your daily diet.
At the beginning of the seventh
month an amazing phenomenon begins to happen. Your baby’s brain
begins to expand in growth at a rate
which, if it didn’t stop, would result in
a head too huge for a person to carry
on a normal body! As it is, the baby’s
brain is half it’s adult weight when the
baby is born, while the rest of the body
is very small and grows to adulthood
during a twenty-one year period, when
most individuals reach the complete
growth in height. You, yourself, are still
growing.
This brain growth is a rapid growth of
brain cells. During this growth, before
the baby is born, it will be very useful
for you to talk to your baby. to read to
your baby, to sing to your baby. This
brings about a condition in the brain
that will allow your baby to learn more
quickly (after he/she is born) than if you
ignore the possibility and have no interaction with your baby. Also, if you
want your baby to have a good grasp
of language, use “grown-up” talk or
speech, instead of “baby-talk.” SING
to you baby now, and on into the first
three years of life.
Rapid brain growth could be thought
of as preparing the “hardware” of a
computer, so that “software” could be
8
used for the rest of the baby’s life. If
there are enough “connections” in the
brain between brain cells, and across
the central part of the brain (corpus
callosum )to the other side, the “hardware” will be sufficient to use a lot of
“software” efficiently. Otherwise, the
child will not learn as quickly or as
well, and might have difficulty learning
throughout life without special remedial
experience. To assure a well-equipped brain, the
first three years are the years of what
science calls “rapid brain growth.” After three years this rapid growth stops.
The “hardware” is practically complete.
There IS more growth, but it is much
slower. During the first three years, the
baby is learning during every single
moment, even during sleep! The experiences you can provide for your baby
will determine the kind of connections
made in the brain (where they are, and
how they might be used in life). You
might have already discovered that
you, yourself, learn faster in some subjects than in others. You might know
that some subjects require very hard
study and others are found easy to assimilate. This is because of your experience during the first three years of your
life and the brain connections during
that time. You will be able to create new
connections, but ONLY those formed
during the rapid brain growth period of
your first three years produced the very
easy learning areas in your consciousness. You will need to study something
repeatedly and do much memorizing
and regular use, to learn new subjects
from now on, if you do not have the
connections established in your brain.
It has been discovered also, that even
if you do learn a new subject, you will
forget it if you do not use it. But those
subjects which require use of the brain
cells connected during the first three
years will always be there for you. You
will never forget those subjects, once
learned.
Science has not always known these
facts, and there are new ones discovered all the time, but the ones they do
know have always been there along
with the ones still to discover. The experience of a newborn baby, and the
first three years of life, determines
whether the baby will be a fast or slow
learner in today’s world.
A very interesting subject for you to
give attention to, is language for your
baby. Babies can learn many languages if they are heard during the
first three years -- regularly. If they do
not hear the languages for many years
again, they will still be able to
learn them without an accent!
So, if you know English and
Spanish, use both of those languages with your baby every
day. For instance, read a story
in Spanish and then in English,
and then in any other language
you know well.
Another interesting way to
provide an easy life for your
baby is to use a “patterning”
technique while the baby is
learning how to function in his/
her little body. Most babies cannot reach and pick up an object
without struggling to control the
use of their untrained muscles.
So, you can help, by actually moving the little hand and
fingers into position over and
over again, so the brain makes
an automatic pattern for the
arm, hand and fingers to follow. (While other babies reach
wildly for an object and “miss,”
your baby, after patterning, will
reach straight for the object
and get it). This technique can be used
for using utensils while eating. You
“pattern” the tiny fingers, hand and arm
to get the food, reach to the mouth and
eat from the spoon, etc. It will save a lot
of frustration in spilled food, etc.
The same “patterning” can be done
in sitting up, crawling, and even walking. Instead of the “trial and error”
method of the usual baby, you skip the
“trial” part and go straight for the proper
movement to achieve the motion desired. The muscles are trained in the
proper movement, and the baby is active with much more confidence.
All of this is based on well-documented science. It has been used for
the years it has been known (since the
70’s) and found to have accurate results. Every parent has done some of it
without realizing, but all of it can be applied when a parent knows what to do.
If you ignore it, your baby will be having
experience anyway, and will learn to sit
up, to crawl, to walk and to talk, as time
goes by. You will observe these transitions and you might wonder how it
could have been easier if you had done
a little patterning.
Certain parts of the brain are known
to be related to mathematics, while
others are related to music, and others to motion. Each can be connected,
through experience, to each. Strong
and numerous connections in this regard might produce a natural, gracefully rhythmic dancer. (Where does she
get that?) or, a musician with a genius
sense of mathematical synchronicity,
(How does he know that?). Other connections can be induced through experience to produce a brain that learns
languages rapidly. (He speaks five languages fluently, and he’s only in High
School!). Another set of connections,
through experience, can bring about
the ability to observe what is going on,
and why -- (she/he is so understanding
and patient!).
This information can give you the
idea about what you can provide for
your baby that will make life easier for
him, or her, and much more interesting for yourself as that little person’s
mother!
Best of good fortune to every one of
you and your baby!
Interacting Galaxy Pair Arp 240, in the constellation Virgo
NGC 5257/8 (Arp 240) is an astonishing galaxy pair, composed of spiral galaxies of
similar mass and size, NGC 5257 and NGC 5258. The galaxies are visibly interacting
with each other via a bridge of dim stars connecting the two galaxies, almost like two
dancers holding hands while performing a pirouette. Both galaxies harbor supermassive
black holes in their centers and are actively forming new stars in their disks. Arp 240 is
located in the constellation Virgo, approximately 300 million light-years away, and is the
240th galaxy in Arp’s Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies. With the exception of a few foreground
stars from our own Milky Way all the objects in this image are galaxies.
