AQUARIAN AGE  
SECRETS 

Most of us have heard that we stepped into the 'Aquarian Age'. But what does it mean, what can we expect individually and collectively?

Probably we all heard a few correlations to this sign -  starting with the correlations of 'inventions', 'technology', 'being different'  or 'original', as well as some deeper correlations, such as 'freedom from the known' or  'expect the unexpected'.. 

Amongst other things,'liberation' and 'transformation'  are also Aquarian correlations, as is 'Humanity' as a whole and any 'humanitarian ideals', along with 'freedom' also 'rebellion' meanwhile 'groups' and 'friendship'  and even the concept of 'like-mindedness'. 

 Within the many Aquarian correlations, it's important to know that  'sudden changes' and 'unexpected events' as well as 'shock' and even 'trauma' are also typical Aquarian correlations; furthermore, 'paradox' and anything paradoxical. So, we may ask; can we expect all these kinds of things to take place in the unfolding Aquarian Age? 

Well, if you ask me, the answer is: yes and no. Because one of the secrets is that it completely depends on us! It depends on our CHOICES. However, most of the time we are not aware that we are - mostly unconsciously - making choices all the time: those choices will be reflected where our FOCUS is in life. in any moment. Perhaps most of us have heard about the old notion that we ourselves create our own reality - yet, even when we accept this, we still don't really know how exactly do we do that. 

For many people - who live their lives mainly by their unconscious programming - a lot of unexpected and even shocking or traumatic things have already begun to happen (just look around the world)  manwhile, on the other hand all these seemingly shocking, often negatively perceived,  or traumatic events and occurrences actually have a hidden. 'higher' purpose: in a way the Universe is attemptiing to wake people up from their 'normal' - basically unconsciously driven - mode of operation. Perhaps, to push Humanity to a point where we don't have a choice but to change our 'mode of operation'.  Few people understand it truly that change doesn't come from without - it only comes from within. The greatest Aquarian secret is that our outer reality - on all levels, even dimensions - is but a faithful reflection of our inner reality. The 'matrix' we see in the outer world is a reflection of our 'inner matrix'. 

But lets go back to the Aquarian symbolism: So, why are so many apparently unrelated or seemingly opposing correlations connected to this sign?  What's really behind it?

In all honesty, I too didn't fully understand all the secrets of this symbolism until I embraced the full knowledge of the 'Missing Link', the hidden secrets about our human Superconscious, and how it relates to our human life. Only then has it become all clear - as if light shone onto the hidden corners that were in the dark before.  

Let me start with depicting the symbol itself: it is a humanoid figure that holds a vessel, from which water is poured in a certain way, to a certain direction; hence the name: 'The Water Bearer'.

But who is 'bearing' the water, and what kind of water is that; also, what kind of vessel it bears the water from, where to and why? 

In order to truly understand the secrets of this symbolism first we need to know that there are two different - actually opposing - movements happening in our sky;  One is the normal (or forward) movement from the east to west, in the language of Astrology from Airies to Pisces - meanwhile there is an opposite movement which is very very slow, which moves from Pisces to Aries. This slow backward movement is called the Great Year, or Cosmic Year: this is the cycle that creates our Astrological Ages, according to which we transitioned in the last two thousand years from the Piscean Age into the current Aquarian Age, just recently. 

This slow backward movement in our sky - looking at it from Earth - is created by the so-called precession of the Earth. Only a few people are aware that this backward cycle - from Pisces to Aries - is also called by some as the 'Creation cycle'. 

It is related to - in the symbolic language of astrology - how the creation of our world and everything within it came about: it explains that symbolically it all starts from the infinite Piscean waters (which also called as the 'everything and nothing' or the 'fleeting dreams of the Creator', this sign is symbolised by two fish that swim in opposite direction within the waters of the 'infinite') then, the next step or phase in the 'Great Year,' or 'Creation cycle' is symbolised by Aquarius, the 'Water Bearer'. Out of the 'infinite dreams'  and 'infinite possibilities' comes 'The Water Bearer' ; kind of out of formless 'nothing' comes 'something'. Only this way can we understand the symbol of the 'water' within  Aquarius. Yes, it is that 'water' which originates from Pisces, and now it is in some kind of motion. But it is now different; it has been condensed into an individual vessel to be 'poured' in some way.

Now, as we established what the water actually represents in this secretive symbolism; it is an individualised aspect of the limitless potentials of Piscean 'waters'. Perhaps it is useful to know that the Piscean symbolism correlates with what people call the 'divine,' 'creator,' 'god,' or the 'infinite.' It also correlates with 'dreams,' but also 'illusions' and even 'delusions.' It is also important to know that Pisces, naturally a water sign, has two rulers, Neptune, which also naturally belongs to the water element, meanwhile it has a the co-ruler is Jupiter, which belongs to the fire element. Thus, there are secrets in Pisces too: which I'm not going into deeply now, let me just say this: within the infinite Piscean waters, there is an element of a 'hidden fire', symbolised by Jupiter. 

 The water, this 'mysterious substance' with its invisible, hidden fire via which it is pregnant with dreams, is what is being poured from the vessel in the hand of the figure. The water element in itself has to do with feelings and consciousness, while Aquarius is an 'air sign'  and the air element has to do with mind and intellect. So how is that? What does the water do in this air sign? Well, it is supposed to be 'poured' - intelligently, for a certain aim...  

One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Aquarian symbolism is the assumption that we, incarnated humans, are the humanoid figure in the symbol. Well, that's not the case! Another secret of this symbolism is that the vessel in the figure's hand - from which the 'water' is poured - that vessel is who we, incarnated humans, actually are. 

So then, who or what is the humanoid figure within the symbolism? Well, that's the next secret within these secrets: it's our Higher-self, or Soul, or Spirit or Superconscious aspect.  In other words, it is in a way our POTENTIAL - our highest potential - that we can become as a human being, if and when we are able to learn all the lessons that this human structure, into which we incarnate, has to offer. 

That's 'who' pouring the water through the vessel - the depiction of the symbol of the humanoid figure is a potential ; which isn't physical. It would be perhaps more appropriate if it were a light-being, but that's hard to depict, and perhaps, it would be too telling:)  At the same time, that potential of us already exists beyond the physical as a unique being who is connected to everything and everyone beyond time, space or dimensions; it consists our true nature and purpose.  Then it enters the 'vessel', the human-vessel via which it can incarnates onto planet Earth as a particular human being. And although it is our Soul, our Higher-aspect, or Creative Spirit -however we wish to call it - that enters into the vessel, once the 'water of life' from Piscean realms is inside it, then the 'laws of the vessel' apply. In other words, from then on, we, the incarnated human - the 'vessel' - is in charge.

Important to know that Aquarius also has two rulers: Uranus, which also belongs to the air element, but the co-ruler is Saturn, which belongs to the earth element. So the next question is, what does Saturn, with its earth element, have to do in Aquarius? Saturn correlates to stability, culture, society, anything that is solid, established, at times even rigid. To understand this, we need to know that Saturn also correlates to 'reality' as such, personal as well as collective reality, as well as 'responsibility' and last but not least, Saturn correlates to 'structure' of any kind, including the 'structure of society' as well as the 'structure of reality'.

Now perhaps it will be a bit clearer: Aquarius with its air element correlating to 'intellect' and 'mind' is the symbolism via which, within the less known 'Creation cycle', the very 'structure of reality' is, and has been created!  What this means: 'reality' although we usually experience it as something 'solid' or 'real' is actually happening in our 'mind' in our consciousness; depending on HOW exactly are we using all aspects of our overall consciousness.  Unfortunately, most of us have little to no idea that we use it mostly unconsciously.  

 Once that 'structure' is created, - but let's remember, it can be intentional, thus conscious or can be unconscious or a bit of both which usually is the case - then comes Capricorn a natural earth sign, which is the next step or phase in the 'Creation cycle', and that's where 'reality' will become visible, take solid shape and form - ruled by Saturn alone.  

These three signs, Pisces, Aquarius and Capricorn (either we consider them the last three signs of the zodiac, which can be called the 'individual cycle'  or the first three of the 'Creation cycle')  are called the 'social' signs because their impact affects social wholes.  Like 'culture' affects a certain population, so is a certain 'way of thinking' and a certain 'way of believing'  usually shared by larger social wholes, within which the majority of the population has already established certain ways that impact upon each new member who is born into that population.  

Although these three signs obviously have individual importance as well, (we can have our sun or moon etc. fall into these signs) however,  generally speaking in advanced astrology, it is understood that these signs are, along with their respective rulers, very impactful on the collective. 

Thus, Aquarius actually belongs to the 'social' or 'collective' signs - yet, interestingly at the same time it also correlates to 'individuality'. 'originality', as well as to 'paradox' and anything 'paradoxical'. Important to know: regardless of where our sun or moon or any other planet falls in our astrological chart, we ALL have Aquarius in our chart. So never for a moment think that people who happen to have an Aquarius sun in their chart are a step closer to the real 'solution' to the 'human puzzle'. Absolutely not - they too are as far or as close as each one of us. 

Then the deepest secrets of Aquarius are about how consciousness actually works in the human form. If we delve into these secrets, we need to start with the very symbol of Uranus itself. It is depicted below: 

We would have probably never guessed, but this strange icon actually symbolises our human consciousness structure in a simplified, symbolic way. There are three vertical lines, two are bent a bit on the side, one is straight in the middle, while there is a horizontal line connecting the three, and then only the middle straight vertical line connects to a circle at the bottom.  But only after the horizontal line connected all three vertical lines in the middle. 

The middle straight vertical line symbolises our human 'self-conscious' aspect, while this is connected with the horizontal line to both bent vertical lines on the left and right sides. (Yes, it is also symbolising our left and right hemispheres)

One of them is our 'unconscious' aspect, the other is our 'superconscious' aspect. This symbol clearly depicts the fact that we constantly have access to both on a self-conscious level. The horizontal line represents the continuous connection: this formation creates a cross in the middle (which is also a symbolic hint that all four elements are secretly represented here)  then the middle straight line, the 'self-conscious' aspect after meeting with both side-lines, goes down to the circle. 

It is easy to see that this circle symbolises something different from the previous aspects. Indeed, the vertical lines symbolise the 'masculine' aspects of our human consciousness, while the circle symbolises the only 'feminine' aspect of our human consciousness. 

There is some misunderstanding about this aspect, which is our 'subconscious'. However, many people, even psychologists etc, mix the 'subconscious' with the 'unconscious'. These are just names, but for clarity, let's make sure that we clearly differentiate between them and understand the function and nature of each aspect. This feminine aspect of our overall consciousness,  the 'subconscious'  is symbolised by the circle. 

It is the aspect of our overall consciousness within the human form that emanates our inherent creative powers. Imagine it like an absolutely fertile soil, where any seeds that get into it will grow into a plant. No regard to whether that's a 'weed' or not. Or like a woman's womb: imagine an absolutely fertile womb, any sperm that gets to the ready egg, that womb will grow a baby. It doesn't discriminate, no matter even if it was a rape; for discrimination is not the 'job' of the womb. It doesn't care about nationality or race, or any other moral or otherwise consideration. 

The same is with our 'subconscious', the female aspect of consciousness:  but what it 'grows' is reality!  That's how and why Saturn is within  Aquarius. Our overall consciousness functioning results in creating our reality. But how? Instead of a plant or a baby, our subconscious  'grows' reality and instead of seeds, it receives messages from the 'masculine' aspects of our consciousness; then according to those messages, it will create our reality.. What needs to be understood is that, all three 'masculine' aspects of our consciousness send messages continuously;  thus , the unconscious, the self-conscious and the Superconscious. 

Just like the sperms are competing to reach the egg, or the seeds competing to reach to soil; the same is actually happening within our own consciousness;  believe it or not, theree is a 'war' going on inside of us. Competing and often opposing messages are coming from the three different 'masculine' parts. So which one will become the 'winner', which message will the subconscious create into reality for us? 

That depends on WHERE THE POWER IS, which message has the greatest power. And in that, although we rarely know it, our self-conscious aspect has a lot to do with. For our self-conscious aspect has a very important function: it has our WILL that can be applied. 

However, most of the time, our unconscious secretly undermines our conscious effort - without us even noticing it. It happens by inducing thoughts and feelings that are based on our unconscious beliefs. Without us having the proper knowledge of how to make our unconscious conscious, and neutralise its limiting influence, we tend to buy into those unconsciously produced thoughts and feelings, thus they (their messages) will have the power, according to which our subconscious creates our reality. 

That's why, even though there is a chance of 'listening' to both 'sides' - i.e. our programmed unconscious that makes us repeat the past and our genius Superconscious that wants our highest good according to our highest potential - unfortunately, most of the time, the unconscious message will sneak in and grab the power. Then our reality - Saturn - will be created, and it tends to repeat the same as ever; that's why we essentially recreate the past. 

Yet, it is 'hinted' within the symbolism how we can stop this, the horizontal line that connects the three vertical lines can be a clue; for it is not necessarily a 'one way' communication, it is actually possible to follow that line from the middle - i.e. with full self-awareness - and discover the content of both of the lines on the sides.

In other words, we can step into our unconscious and reveal it, just as we can step into our Superconscious and reveal that too! (How to do that will be discussed and practised step by step during the 'Missing Link' sessions.)  

Then, armed with ever deeper self-awareness, we are in a position to choose what we want to create; i.e. what kind of messages we want to assign the power to consciously, while we step by step neutralise the limiting messages of our unconscious. We don't need to 'heal' it we just need to know it and then neutralise it via not taking it seriously anymore. That's when we can apply our will, and by stepping into our Superconscious, we choose that. Then our subconscious will create our reality accordingly. 

It takes practice and will, it also takes discipline applying the steps (which we'll learn on the workshop) but the deepest secret of the symbolism of Aquarius is that: when we human beings make our unconscious conscious and give power to our Superconscious instead, going for what our heart truly wants, nothing but NOTHING can stop us from creating it!

 Afterwords:

George Kavassilas said once, "We are the true heroes of the Universe. but most of us don't know. because we've taken on a voluntary amnesia."  I wholeheartedly agree with this. Now, in the current Aquarian Age the chance is given for that amnesia to pop off . The amnesia is induced via our unconscious, but we can awaken from it to self-aware presence. But not without our own effort! The knowledge and wisdom of 'how to get there'  was a well-guarded secret for long; but the time has come to get this knowledge out to the world and finally 'lift the veil' ; it's already happening in our world. First slowly one by one, individually, and then collectively as well. Which means the time has come to create a very different 'structure of reality' - now ever more consciously by will, following our heart, using our Superconscious. For the benefit of ourselves and for the rest of Humanity. 

The truth is that, in our past - in this life, as well as and many-many previous lifetimes on planet Earth-  we humans were guided by and lived our lives according to our unconscious beliefs and programs. Our unconscious is the aspect of us that can be programmed, which then influences our self-conscious via producing thoughts and feelings, and we take them for granted as 'truths'. It is misleading and derailing. But we also need to understand that this aspect of our consciousness, - the unconscious - not only can be, it actually has to be programmed!  (During the 'Missing Link' workshop, this too will be discussed in detail) It is part of being human. However, the aim of human life is not to 'clear' our unconscious from limiting beliefs; it's neither possible nor necessary; the aim is to realise that we are not only that which our unconscious assumes, we are far more; the aim is to learn how to transform our identity to our true, magnificent, creator-self, and use our Superconscious powers consciously -  right here in this world. 

The Aquarian symbolism and its secrets are also about paradoxes; and there is no greater paradox in this Universe than we human beings! We experience ourselves as small, powerless, at times even pathetic - yet we are the most powerful, limitless creator beings. What a joke - and what an adventure! 

Last, but not least, I'd like to share a perspective: imagine if you were a creator being and you could create absolutely anything and everything with no opposition, no resistance. Imagine, really imagine - I guess for a while it will be really great. Perhaps for an eternity ...or maybe two, or three...

But at one point, what will happen? Can you imagine? Well, I guarantee that you'll get bored, eventually. :) 

That's when you decided this is not enough, you want adventure, you want something that gives value...

This is how I see we got here in the first place. Then, all our human experiences, our pain, our suffering, our stupid mistakes, the repetition of unwanted realities driven by the unconscious, but also the pull in our heart, the hopes and dreams via which our Soul is whispering that contrary to our beliefs, there must be something more, eventhough it seems impossible  -- yes, ALL THIS is what gives so much value to it! 

To realise at the end that you are more than what you thought you were, this human body, in this human life,  believing and experiencing that you are powerles, you are not good enough, you don't have the capaciy etc. and from there, from right there rising to your true power - in awe, realising step by step that you do have greatness, you do have a genius, hidden deep inside you which can create your most cherished dreams as a reality right in this world - well, nothing compares to that joy, that feeling of fulfilment, and nothing can give it more value. 

When we access our Superconscious powers and experience the hidden truth that we CAN create the dreams of our heart as a reality right here on Earth, as a human being, is the ultimate reward. The kind of reward that no one can give to us - only we can give it to ourselves. When it happens, it is what people call 'magic' - and the cosmic joke is that, while all people wish to be a magician, most of them have no idea that they already ARE! 

 The very reason we came here for is in the dreams of our hearts: and when we finally get there to bring those dreams into existence, i,e, when we finally create magic at will as an ordinary human being -- that's what gives value and meaning to everything, including all that has come before on our journey.

That's why we came, that's why we entered the world of amnesia, and this limiting reality, for only from there liberation and transformation have true value and meaning - and that's why we are the greatest paradox of all paradoxes. 

The 'homecoming' happens this way in my view: we come home to our own magical being and realise that we have always been this creative magician, we have created it all - we just didn't know it.
