"Capricorn - the Light of Initiation and Emerging 'New World Religion' focusing the Seed Group of Workers in the field of Religion."
“Today everywhere people are ready for the light; they are expectant of a new revelation and of a new dispensation, and humanity has advanced so far on the way of evolution that these demands and expectations are not couched in terms of material betterment only, but in terms of spiritual vision, true values and right human relations. They are demanding teaching and spiritual help ...” ROC, 143

“On the fact of God and of man's relation to the divine, on the fact of immortality and of the continuity of divine revelation, and upon the fact of the constant emergence of Messengers from the divine center, the new world religion will be based.” ROC, 144

We see the new world religion (NWR) is a respond to three factors: The movement of the earth from Pisces into Aquarius and its group effect on Humanity; the greater Being and leader of Humanity Whom we call The Christ, as He Is today; and the surging unfoldment of God Immanent expressing the Christ Principle in all of us.

As the NWR dawns and comes into sharper focus, Humanity will consciously participate in the greater ritual movements of the Earth in relationship to the Sun and Constellations. A growing realization by Humanity “that the starry heavens, the solar system and the planetary spheres are all of them the manifestations of great spiritual Lives” will prompt the science of Invocation and Evocation as part of the NRW for approaching Divinity.

On this day, the Winter Solstice occurs in the northern hemisphere – “the longest night” as the Sun moves into Capricorn – the most silent and austere of all the Signs, bringing a sacred Silence and Stillness – a felt sense of the sun and earth “standing still” before the birth of new Light.

The Winter Solstice, one of the four Solstices and Equinoxes, forms the Cardinal Cross of the Body of the Lord of the World, Sanat Kumara. On this Day, the Great Lord participates together with the Christ, Spiritual Hierarchy and conscious Souls among us in the spirit of “the ceremonial ritual of the daily life of Sanat Kumara implemented by music and sound and carried on the waves of colour which break upon the shores of the three worlds of human evolution”. (R&I, 247).

In this season of deep stillness, the “Christ-Mass” season, all sensitive Souls experience anew the exquisite Beauty, eternal Hope and rising power of the divine nearness ‘that brings forth the birth of the Soul consciousness’.  “Throughout the Universe, it is the Soul which is the conscious, sensitive theme of the divine Plan.” ‘Esoteric Advent’ is the advent of the Soul – the Christ in us – pouring through all the Kingdoms of nature.
