Dear Brothers,
As we know, there
is ample and evident proof given by the Tibetan regarding the commencement of the transition period from the Piscean to the
new age of Aquarius. The precise point of commencement for this new cycle is given by DK as being 1945 with the release of
energy from the atom over Japan for one. There is also some controversy over another date of 2117. It is one I have recently
stated to be invalidated by the 1945 and 2035 dates given by Master DK.
Here for our
consideration is some relevant, and in my mind, highly important evidence that the new Aquarian age did commence with exactitude
at 1945.
The
Tibetan and the Year 1945:
The vision in men's minds today is that of the Aquarian Age, even if they recognize
it not. DN 152.
3rd Occult 100 year cycle and War:
The period of this interplay of three major energies and their focused potent effect upon our planet began in 1875,
achieved momentum in 1925, will reach its highest expression (for good or evil) in 1945 and will then decline
slowly until 1975. These three constellations are: Leo, Capricorn and Pisces. These are curiously and most mysteriously
related to the fourth kingdom in nature and therefore to the evolution and the destiny of the human family. Add to these
the emerging energy of Aquarius. EA 537.
The fusion of Piscean energy, generated during the past two thousand years of Christ's spiritual activity and the
Aquarian energies to be generated and active on Earth during the next two thousand years, or two thousand five hundred.
RC 98.
In June, 1945, at the time of the full moon (so significant a day in the spiritual experience of the Christ),
He definitely and consciously took over His duties and responsibilities as the Teacher and Leader during the Aquarian
solar cycle.
He is the first of the great world Teachers to cover two zodiacal cycles - the Piscean and the Aquarian. RC
82.
At the center of this Triangle the Christ took His stand; from that point His Aquarian work began,
and it will continue for two thousand five hundred years. Thus He inaugurated the new era and, upon the inner
spiritual planes, the new world religion began to take form. RC 83.
The sign Aquarius (into which our Sun is now entering) is that of the Water-carrier, the man with a pitcher
of water. RC 80.
This passing of the Sun into the sign Aquarius is an astronomical fact, as any one can ascertain by writing
to any observatory; it is not an astrological prognostication. RC 80.
If the word "initiation" signifies the processes of "entering into," then it is indeed true today that
humanity is undergoing a true initiation as it enters into the new age of Aquarius. RC 82.
It is only now that the full purpose and the work
of Saturn for humanity can reach a point of group usefulness, for it is only now that humanity has reached a point
of general and widespread intelligence which can make any choice a definite conscious act, entailing responsibility. EA 249.
Today, there are countless numbers and hence
the intense activity of Saturn as we enter into the first decan of Aquarius and hence the same activity because
humanity itself now stands upon the probationary path. EA 249.
In this transition period through which the world is now passing and in this interlude between two activities
- that of the Piscean Age which is passing and that of Aquarius which is coming in - Libra will eventually
rule, and the end of this century will see the influence of Libra steadily coming into pronounced control.
Before 2035 A.D. such legislation will be universal
in its sphere of influence and control. All this will come about because Libra rules the present interlude and might be
regarded as "the master of no-man's land," as one of the Masters of the Wisdom called it lately. EA 238.

No-man's land
is a veiling condition according to DK, a period or cycle not defining one state or the other entirely. Therefore we have
at present an inaugurating period [by the Christ] or the entering into the "ante-chamber" of the New Age of Aquarius,
but the new age of Aquarius none the less. 2035 may reasonably be seen as the entering into fuller Aquarian energies and the
gradual leaving of no-man's land. JPC.
It was to the definite performance of His duties as Distributor, Nourisher and Dispenser that He pledged Himself
in June, 1945, and entered upon His responsibilities as the Forerunner and the Teacher of the Aquarian
Age. RC 86.
During the war (1914-1945), the Christ and the Hierarchy
looked on at a dying world; men and forms were dying on every hand; old ideals, organizations and groups were passing away
and the specter of death stalked on every hand. RC 90.
At the time of the Full Moon of April 1945, during the Easter season of that year and covering approximately
a period of five weeks, the Forces of Restoration began their work. RC 90.
Following this inflow, at the time of the Full Moon
of the Buddha in May 1945, the forces of enlightenment became active, and light began to stream into the minds
of men. These are, in reality, the energies which initiate the new world education. RC 91.
In June 1945, Christ set in motion the forces of reconstruction which are related to the Will aspect
of divinity and which remain as yet the least powerful of the three streams of energy, released during the three Full Moon
Festivals in 1945. RC 93.
The year 1900 A. D., as well
as being the close of a century cycle, was the close, approximately speaking, of a 2,000-year cycle or astrological
age, the Age of Pisces, and the dawn of a new 2,000-year age, the Age of Aquarius.TT. Hilarion.
With the incoming of the dawn of
the New Age, The Temple was founded, in Syracuse, N. Y., in November 1898, two years inside the century
so that there was no break in the line of the work being carried on. It was founded by the third–in point of time–of
the Mahatmas [TT2@2] of the Theosophical Movement, the Master Hilarion.
Blavatsky suggests that the Piscean Age also came to a close at the end of the 19th century. She indicates that 2155
years elapsed between the start of the Age of Aries in 2410 BC and the start of the Piscean Age in 255 BC. If the Piscean
Age also lasted 2155 years, the Aquarian Age would have begun in 1901 (= 2155 - 255 + 1) if 255 BC is a chronological
date, or 1900 if it is an astronomical date. D. Pratt. http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/DP5/pole5.htm#s1

"Thus, I find this terribly relevant, because if I am wrong in my understanding that we ARE now in the Aquarian Age,
and have available these 5th and 7th ray energies, then I am 'wrong on my day'. It is like showing up for Monday's work on
Sunday. No one else is there. In fact, I think specificity is good. If I want to 'meet someone', I like them to be 'on time',
so I don't have to wait, and not, for the sake of their efficiency, earlier than I.
Recognizing that there is an overlap, like the transition of dusk or dawn, from darkness to light, I think it's really
helpful to know whether I should be 'getting up' or 'going to bed'." VSK.
SDP: The length of time per degree is a vital question though. I figure a value of 69.4yrs or approximately 70yrs. Here is, simply put, the technical reason why (the basis of my reckoning) I do so
beginning, as ever, with a vital reference from the Tibetan re the figure 2100yrs.
DK: EPI.265
"Cycles connected with the twelve signs of the zodiac. These are primarily two in number:
a. Those which are connected with a complete zodiacal round, about 25,000 years.
b. Those which are connected with each of the twelve signs, and which come in and out of manifestation approximately
every 2,100 years.
SDP: The 4th order sun solar zodiacal cycle is of 25,000yr duration. When we divide the solar age cycle of 25,000yrs
by the 12 signs of the zodiac it equals 2083.333yrs per sign. This figure brings us to approximately 2,100 years as stated
by DK. A value of 69.444yrs per degree is arrived at through dividing 2083.333yrs by the 30 degrees of a sign. The value of
70yrs per degree is arrived at through dividing the (approximate) 2,100yrs by the 30 degrees of a sign.
By the way, if we add the interlude period of 500yrs on to the figure 2083.333 we arrive again, at approximately 2,500yrs,
the length of a 4th order solar zodiacal cycle.
From the time of the Gemini full Moon, May 26, 1945, the Work of the Christ in the Aquarian Age began. From that point
He inaugurated the Aquarian Age that continues from that point “for two thousand five hundred years”. The Christ
“definitely and consciously took over His duties and responsibilities as the Teacher and Leader during the Aquarian
solar cycle”. (ROC83)
