AS AN EIGHTH HOUSE
FUNCTION
IN PRESENT WORLD NEED
In nature, mutation occurs progressively. It is a natural method of adaptation to
change. The
only
thing constant being change, progressive mutation that is a natural
adaptation
to change, is a necessity of continuance. Those species that do
not
adapt do not survive the course of time; a quick glance back across
time
as we yet know it, easily ascertains the
truth of this.---------------------------
When a climate, for instance, changes gradually, there can
be gradual
adaptations: time
for mutation. Severe and sudden change of
a climate does not give time for gradual adaptation, and much
extinction occurs.
The walrus
developed blubber to withstanda progressively
greater cold, other species developed migration, and the forms of those
which could not adapt, became extinct.--
---------------------------------
In natural progression, the first kingdom to be developed in
form, historically, was the
mineral,
upon the forming planet. Through development beyond, but inclusive of
the
mineral kingdom, the vegetable kingdom was second to take form.
Inclusive
of those two, the animal kingdom was third, and the human kingdom the
fourth
to take form. Ever has each new kingdom to take form upon the
planet
been inclusive of those
that went before.--------------------
Through development of the mind, in the human kingdom,
self-consciousness
becomes possible. Through development of self-consciousness,
grows
the ability to make conscious choice, which in turn has the ability, to
itself affect change ---in the natural course of change. The
‘progression
of choices', made by members of the human kingdom, has changed the face
of the planet. This has, much more rapidly, altered the quality
of
the atmosphere, the water, and the earth itself, than was accomplished
by the patterns of natural progression previous to the development of
the
mind factor in the human kingdom.----------------------------------
There have been many points in the planetary history when extremes of
adaptation
were needed by a species for the species to have continuance. There are
presently extant, species
which
survived the age of the dinosaurs; most did not. The need for
adaptation at-that point, was
most likely too sudden, and too extreme, for the
dinosaur. --While great and
immediate change in-environment and
circumstance did occur,
there was
not time for a progression
of mutations to occur.
The history of the dinosaurs is an example of an extreme
in planetary demand for
immediate
adaptation to severe change; the, "slow course of evolution," an
example
of gradual adaptation; with time, to accomplish change through
progressive
mutations. At
this point in planetary history, major adaptation by all and for all is
a necessity.
The procrastinating room
in
time has already been spent.----------------
It is through the mind factor that development in the human
kingdom has been brought to
the
point of conscious self awareness; being
conscious of being conscious. Members of the human kingdom
have, up to this point,
worked
consciously for selfish motivations: for profit,
for power, for expediency and convenience. Herein lies
the change
most
needed by members of the human kingdom, if adaptation, appropriate to
actual
planetary need, is to occur. Selfish, competitive,
careless
motivations must change to selfless and caring cooperation.
This
is an
adaptation which must occur in the human kingdom through
the
mind,
and through the heart.
The mind and heart, in equal portions, must
become the seat of motivation that drives the compassionately
intelligent,
creative resourcefulness, and wisdom, with which the
Planet
ALL
(all
kingdoms), can go FORWARD without undue harm.
For
the greater
portion of the human kingdom, this will entail a great change, a
mutation
of sorts, but with a new twist. This time, the mutation of a
kingdom in nature
must
be accomplished CONSCIOUSLY,
with conscious intent-- and all other
kingdoms in nature that came before the human, are hanging
in the balance, --along with the human. It
is the human kingdom which
must rectify the endangerment
to ALL which the motivation of selfish
personal
profit, has caused. So
far, this has been more easily
said than done!
The seat of selfish motivation resides in the lower
centers; the ones below the diaphragm. The instinctive/impulsive
urges:--- to self-preservation,
related to the
center
at the base of the spine,--- to pro-creation
/ sex, related
to
the sacral center, just above the base center, ---to personally accumulate
and
possess, related to the solar plexus,
and derived
from
bringing the urges of the other two into
the emotional/solar plexus
center, and letting them "percolate"
there. In this way, they tend to
get stronger, and more
defensively held, all the time. These are the major centers below the diaphragm.
When the developing mind nature is motivated through
the solar plexus, where the energy of all the lower
centers is percolating,
craftiness
tends to develop, craftiness that
serves the personal desires; first of the moment, then later,
desires that are progressively fulfilled through more
and more complex design,
carried
out over time. This becomes a
problem when the overall design continues to be through
selfish motivations, and
continues
to hold the mind in thrall. Progressive
mental development in this way, becomes stunted
in its growth.
Bringing the higher, (the mind), down to the lower,
(the solar plexus), is not a progressive mutation of the
mind, but rather, a repressively
regressive one. It is at this point
that the change needs to begin. The lower should
be brought
UP to the higher.
The prefix, "trans.," meaning: surpassing, going beyond,
when added to mutation, creates "transmutation"; surpassing,
going beyond mutation. Transmutation
is a means
by which members of the human kingdom can, with conscious
awareness, CHOOSE change, beyond the slow momentum
of naturally occurring little steps in evolutionary mutations.
At this point in the history of the world, a giant step is needed, not just
the slow
and tiny ones of the ‘natural' course
of evolution. We must adapt ourselves to the great needs now present.
The practice of consciously and constructively applied
transmutation is a very positive, progressive, creatively
resourceful method of self
renewing
redirection. At the outset,
it requires recognition of actualities of experience, honoring
the feelings thereby engendered, honoring the related
actual needs, then making conscious, well-considered CHOICE
as to how to proceed from that point. Meditation, contemplation,
visualization, and sincerity of approach, coupled
with a good,
healthy
sense of humor, resourcefulness, and creative, constructive
application, are necessary
tools and components for
constructive, progressive,
healthy "conversion"
of
feelings.
This is the moving of "appropriate reasons" for
anger, frustration, sadness, etc., into appropriate action,
AND the energy and focus needed to accomplish appropriate
action: ....a
progressive
action that is appropriate not
just for the self, but for ALL, which
includes the self, AS it
includes ALL.
In this way, the seat of motivation can begin to
move from the lower
centers, to the centers above the diaphragm. The
sacral center's impulsive
drive, in the urge for
procreation, being brought to
the throat for
higher creative
expression; the reactive, impelling demands of
desire in
the emotional/solar plexus center, being
brought to
the heart
center for the loving-understanding /
-compassion-for-all-Being
that becomes the new
seat of motivations;
the compulsive instinct to self preservation of the
base
of the
spine center being brought to the head
center, the
seat of Reason. Through Love, Reason and Creative
expression, all fearfulness
is dissolved, and knowledge is grown,
into Wisdom. The desired
result though, is obtained
by the process
created through consistent
practice, on beyond the
hearts, flowers, precious theories and
sweet toned words.
In this way, through transmutation, there IS a giant step
taken. For each one taken, the planet and all within/upon
it are benefitted. The
effect is cumulative, and
will
begin to rise in
geometric exponentials. The human
kingdom then, will take a giant
step! In
the birthchart, the 8th house
is a place to study in
this regard. Among other things, the 8th can be
called, the
"House of
Transmutation."
The planets within it can be waiting there, for your
direct attention
to business. Something about them needs to be dedicated
and refocused to a greater capacity
of expression. The
aspects to the
planets
and points here
will
be giving more information on
what this entails,
and what kind
of
energy is, or needs to be involved. The
sign on the cusp
of the 8th house will describe the quality or "coloring" that is
in expression there,
through which the planets and points in residence
are expressing, while interacting in various ways with
the whole. When there are no planets in the 8th house,
it is the quality of the sign itself that needs to be
"transmuted"; understood and worked with in a new, more
progressive manner.

If the human kingdom overall, were to wait for the ‘succession of
naturally progressive
mutations' to solve the plethora of threatening
problems that
have
been created by its unconsciously motivating fourth, or human kingdom,
the planet itself, and all that
goes with it, would not likely survive long enough for that to be
accomplished; not the
hospitably temperate Earth we have so long taken for granted. We
don't, though, have
to wait for Nature this time....... and there
are a good many members of
the human family presently attending the
work of Transmutation,
Transformation, and Transcendence; a preparation for progression into the
materializing
FIFTH KINGDOM in Nature. There is
the 8th House there, and other ‘places' in the chart, ready and waiting
to be of help to each
in this process.
