The Golden Calf...
The Hermetic Brotherhood of Light teaches that interacting with the material world and its desires is absolutely necessary for developing the spiritual body. This is exemplified in the story of Moses and the golden calf. Tarrying too long on the mount, Moses' people, impatient, induced Aaron to make a molten calf to worship...gold because the Sun rules that metal...a calf because the orb of day had just commenced in the Age of Taurus and could not be considered a full grown bull...molten because this section of the constellation was backed against the fiery sign of Aries.
The biblical story reveals that rather than destroying this symbol of materialism, it was burnt with the fire of spirit and ground to powder in the mortar of compassion and strewn on the life-giving water from the nearby river of affection. It was neither ignored, nor despised, nor coveted; but was made of spiritual use; for after converting this symbol of material possessions into that which no longer could be worshiped, it was given to the children of Israel in their drink.
Material things are detrimental when they are worshiped and their care become an insistent burden. Nothing opens the avenues to spiritual attainment as when wealth, power, station and other physical possessions are converted into a means of creating spiritual values. Richness of life comes from the development of appreciation for that which is good and fine.
The spiritual text is:
“Physical
Life and Its Opportunities Should Not be Slighted; Neither
Should Spiritual Aspirations Be Ignored. Learn, therefore, to
‘Render Unto Caesar the Things Which be Caesar’s and Unto
God the Things Which be God’s’.”

The spiritual alchemist conceives the universe to be an immense organic structure, or cosmic man. They perceive that individual souls are evolving from lower to higher states, and entering into rapport with the whole cosmic scheme. They apprehend...that the universe also is evolving and eternally unfolding its infinite possibilities of expression.
In tune with the pulsating heart of nature, an inner conviction floods their consciousness that every immortal soul plays a part and has its function in this glorious scheme of creation. It is a living conscious cell within the body of Infinite Man...Thus the ineffable plan unfolds.
Each immortal soul perpetually expands the domain of its consciousness and continually increases the power of its control over environment. The separate evolving units thread together to give more complex expression to universal consciousness and power. As a human becomes stronger when the separate cells of it's body gain in vigor, so the expansion in power and more complete cooperation of souls, lend increase of consciousness and
power to the Cosmic Man.
In this classic series, Elbert Benjamine explains the astrological significance of the sign Taurus and its relationship to Arcanum XIV, The Alchemist tarot card...

The Brotherhood of Light lessons encourage us to study the Book of Nature...
Nature manifests through Diversity.
Diversity is the key to survival..mastering its many facets is the means by which we thrive.
Fear of the unknown and that which is different from self manifests throughout nature.
Through Cooperation we express the Will of Deity,
gain the freedom that results from transformation,
and achieve a sense of personal fulfillment, harmony, balance ... spirituality.
For use at times when strife, haste and waste of energy, harshness, temper or violence enter our life.
Constructive Aggressive Urges express as Initiative in the use of energies for constructive work and action, building up instead of tearing down.
O Thou Eternal Spirit, in Whom I live, move, breathe and have my Being! Temper my aggressive activity with gentleness in all that I do and say. Direct my love into channels of care and protection for others. Let the chief interest of my life be constructive service to the weak and helpless.

Why Astrology and the Tarot are so important to understanding Traditional Knowledge
“The word Kabala signifies traditional knowledge. It thus refers to the Oral Law, as handed down from antiquity; and embraces the occult traditions of all lands and all peoples. Often it is used merely as referring to the esoteric doctrines of the Jews; but in its broader sense it includes also the secret doctrine of other races. This secret doctrine, common to many lands, was jealously guarded from the profane, and was never permitted to pass into writing except in such ambiguous terms as to baffle the uninitiated as to its true purport. “In this sense the sacred books of the world, including the Avesta, the Vedas and the Bible are largely kabalistical; for they set forth traditions that are capable of an inner, or esoteric, interpretation. In fact, there are usually several interpretations possible, each more inner version revealing a deeper truth to those who have advanced along the path far enough to comprehend it.”
“And this seems the proper place to point out that the unwritten kabala, like the written kabala, is set forth in symbolical language, with purposeful blinds and subterfuges to confuse the uninitiated; so that of the few who undoubtedly exist at the present day who have received it, most remain in as much ignorance of its true interpretation as the majority of students do after studying the more accessible written kabala. “This unwritten kabala has been transmitted only through certain secret schools. Those receiving it well merit what is given to them. They are left to their own devices in the matter of interpretation. And because the real keys to its interpretation—astrology and the tarot—have been largely ignored, or distorted, they have floundered sadly in arriving at its meaning. Whether written or unwritten, the kabala is a philosophy correlated to esoteric astrology as exemplified by the tarot; and it can only be comprehended fully by those who perceive the true relation between
astrological energies and their pictured tarot exemplification.”
