The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

STEPPING OUT OF THE OLD ZEON is no longer for us, for we can no longer see the Sun, any more than in our little old-zeon consciousness we could see ourselves. All around us is perpetual Night, but it is the Starlight of the Body of Our Lady Nuit in which we live and move and have our being. Then, from this height we look back upon the little planet Earth, of which we, a moment ago, were a part, and think of Ourself as shedding our Light upon all those little individuals we have called our brothers and sisters, the slaves that serve. But we do not stop there. Imagine the Sun concentrating His rays for a moment on one tiny spot, the Earth. What happens? It is burnt up, it is consumed, it disappears. But in our Solar Conscious- ness is Truth, and though we glance for a moment at the little sphere we have left behind us, and it is no more, yet there is “that which remains.” What remains? What has happened? We realize that “every man and every woman is astar.” We gaze around at our wider heritage, we gaze at the Body of Our Lady Nuit. We are not in darkness; we are much nearer to Her now. What (from the little planet) looked like specks of light, are now blazing like other great Suns, and these are truly our brothers and sisters, whose essential and Starry nature we had never before seen and realized. These are the ‘remains’ of those we thought we had left behind. There is plenty of room here, each one travels in His true Path, all is Joy. Now, if you want to step back into the Old A£on, do so. But try and bear in mind that those around you are in real- ity Suns and Stars, not little shivering slaves. If youare not willing to be a King yourself, still recognise that they have a right to Kingship, even as you have, whenever you wish to 185
