As the lower desire world awaits cleansing by man's awakening, so also that portion of our own desire nature which is still of low and coarse texture must be cleansed, or become our destruction. We have made our hearts the seat of feelings rather than the seat of divinity. Feelings, because they are rooted in the Desire World, are devoid of thought, intelligence, control, and have no reason or judgment. The most powerful function of the desire world is the power of generation. The desire world is generative power.
Water is the symbol of emotions, desire, and generation.
The Old Testament Commandments instructed us in the power to float and swim in the calm waters of feeling, in the strong currents of desire, and in the turbulent sea of generation. Suddenly, then, we find ourselves in the Piscean Age and there is Christ, reaching out His hand to us. Before the Aquarian Age begins, it is expected of us to take that proffered hand and rise from generation to regeneration, from immorality to morality, from impurity to purity. Purification of love is the personal requirement for entry into the promised land of Aquarius. In the Aquarian vineyard of Christ we gather the vintage of achievement in love which, being of the nature of yeast, doubles, triples, and multiplies 100-fold, becomes altruistic and philanthropic.
