Leo: The 5th Sign of the Zodiac
July 23 thru August 23

I WILL

Courage...

“Any Accomplishment Truly Worth While Requires the Exercise of Courage.”

The Key phrase of Leo is I Will. People born when the Sun is in this sign commonly exhibit more than the average amount of fixity of purpose which goes by the name of will power. Yet, power of will itself is dependent upon the ability to keep the desires focused on the objective to which they were once strongly attracted and the ability to maintain the vitalization of the decision to follow some line of conduct toward the realization of the desire. Instead of running wild, strong desires, when focused into a channel of their own choosing, are turned into Will Power.

The story of Samson and Delilah from the Old Testament is a story that reminds us that sometimes, in order to accomplish our will, there must be the willingness to face disagreeable situations. Such willingness is called Courage...

Mental Alchemy...
Prayer for Harmonizing Sun Energy

For use when we lack vitality, desire to unduly exert authority or express dictativeness or a domineering attitude to others.

Constructive Power Urges express as Rulership and control over the environment, and in cooperation and sympathetic understanding of views and problems of others.

O Thou Eternal Spirit, in Whom I live, move, breathe and have my Being! Manifest through me Thy Life, Light and Love. Aid me to conduct my affairs with dignity, courage and consideration for others. I desire to express self assurance—for my soul is at one with the All. Whatever Life may bring to me, I can with Thy aid, undertake and build therewith constructively.

So Shall It Be!....

From the Lessons: Written in 1946, relevant today...

Cosmic Politics

“BECAUSE all too often politics has been used by the unscrupulous to acquire advantages for special privilege at the expense of public welfare, it has gained for itself, in the minds of many, a noxious odor. Yet this is merely one more example of the principle—exemplified by aviation, and still more recently [1946] and forcefully by atomic fission—that anything which can be used for good can also be used for evil.

“Cosmic alchemists must be realistic, willing to face facts without being influenced by popular prejudice. And the fact concerning important changes in the social structure, by which people can be benefited, is that the only way they can be brought to pass is through politics. Under a democracy, those elected to office are supposed to enact legislation that will carry out the desires of the people. If they pass laws disapproved by the people, it is likely they will not be returned to office at the next election. But even in a dictatorship, the dictator, to remain in power, must be able to sell his ideas to his immediate henchmen, and if he is to be successful in any really large enterprise he must have the willing support also of a large portion of the people.

“It is the desire of the cosmic alchemist that all the people of the world shall make as great intellectual and spiritual progress as possible, and for reasons briefly stated in Chapter 1 (“The Conquest of War”), he believes this can be accomplished only by providing freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom of expression and freedom of worship to all the people of the world.

“These freedoms, or any one of them, can only be gained by the people of the world exerting sufficient political pressure upon their leaders to cause them to strive to devise means to attain them...

“...To correct or prevent the injustices of special privilege, people must have the opportunity to select their leaders and to bring pressure to bear to get just laws made. But this opportunity alone suffices little until a people are educated enough properly to reason correctly from facts, and have access to all the relevant facts.

“It has often been pointed out that the backward peoples of the world are not yet ready for self-government. These peoples, it is urged, are so ignorant of what kind of government is good for them that they can readily be induced to place in power individuals who would rob and enslave them. And it is undoubtedly true that having had little access to facts, and no experience in self-government, they would make mistakes. But Germany was not considered a backward nation when it was robbed and enslaved by Hitler’s cunning propaganda, nor was Italy considered a backward nation when Mussolini was given power of life and death over its people.

“The United States was not considered a backward nation when in 1943 it permitted two special privilege groups—the American Astronomical Society and the American Society of Magicians—to get astrological broadcasts ruled off the air. Nor when, as at present, the big newspapers and magazines are either owned, subsidized, or otherwise largely under the control of big corporations which are interested in suppressing or distorting facts which if widely known would prevent them making huge profits. [In today's technological environment, internet influencers, ideologists and propagandists must be added to the list of those seeking to suppress the truth and confuse the general populace in order to promote their own special interests.]

“Yet if self-determination is to result in proper benefits to the people who exercise it, the people, whether of a backward nation or a progressive nation, must have access to as many facts as possible relative to what will give them the most opportunities, and, instead of being led into slavery or poverty by some demagogue or some self-seeking group, must have the intelligence to discern inversive propaganda and to recognize and work for conditions which will really benefit them.”
