Theos-Talk Archives (December 2006 Message tt00842)

Friends,

See this: 


"The future lies in the present and both include the Past. With a 
rare occult insight Rohel made quite an esoterically true remark, in 
saying that 'the future does not come from before to meet us, but 
comes streaming up from behind over our heads.' For the Occultist 
and average Theosophist the Future and the Past are both included in 
each moment of their lives, hence in the eternal PRESENT." 
—H. P. Blavatsky

Such splendid sentences are the opening quotation of a TTM magazine 
article on Cycles. It goes on: 

"In a single life, a person is under the influence of numerous 
cycles—daily, weekly, monthly, seasonal, annual and, proceeding 
further, of larger ones. He has his own individual cycles pertaining 
to his bodily transformation, to his psychic nature, etc. Likewise, 
there are cycles which affect the life of groups of men and women—
family, community, nation, race, and Humanity as a whole."

"Each person, therefore, is influenced by his own particular cycles, 
as well as by those pertaining to the complex Nature without. He is 
affected by the changing seasons of the year, while he has his own 
incarnational seasons—the spring of youth, the summer of manhood, 
the autumn of adult years, and the winter of old age. Moreover, he 
has his own psychological seasons: every year he passes through the 
repetitive changes in his moral-mental nature which correspond to 
the seasons of Mother Nature. Further still, just as a single day 
has its changing phases, from dawn to twilight, from twilight to 
dawn, so also with man."
