When we consider the nature of physical 'reality' we generally
think of it as something of relative
stability and permanence in which we are immersed. Normally, we
don't perceive it as something in
process of creative unfoldment. Our normal mode of interpreting
mundane life is by using the 'lower
mind'. (We call it 'rational thinking'.) The rational mind
provides us with our most immediate
experience of 'reality' and therefore necessarily conveys a very
limited 'close up' view of ourenvironment. It's like looking at a
large oil-painting with your nose pressed against it. The 'lower
mind'
is an interface that allows the consciousness principle to
experience the physical world (up close and in
'real time').
What the rational mind naturally fails to see is the latent
'future reality' that's in process of emerging
that's pushing through from behind the veil of appearances and
gradually assuming form in the
world around us. This is often referred to as the 'divine
Plan'.
The lower mind usually perceives our unfolding personal
psycho-physical circumstances as the result
of the application of our personal will periodically interfered
with (and influenced) by other people and
by the principle of 'chaos'a principle that also appears to be
actively present in our world. But this is
an illusion that's based on the very limited perception and
understanding of the rational mind.
Mundane human consciousness is specifically designed (i.e. has
evolved according to divine design
specifications) to deal with the minutiae of personal life. But
it was not designed to perceive the
holistic 'collective Reality' blueprint that exists behind the
veil of physical appearances.
The divine Plan is an expression of the higher Reality of the
human soul. It's a long-term project
because it tends to be resisted by incarnate Humanity. The Plan
is resisted because it usually conflicts
with the reality picture that the collective Human ego is
seeking to manifest. But it's slowly and
progressively being realized through the conscious and
unconscious participation of every member of
the Human family.
Those of us who are unconscious of the process of the emergence
of the Plan (i.e. the majority of
human-beings) are those who are strongly influenced by the
perception of their lower mental bodies.
In contrast, the other (less numerous) individuals who are aware
of the gradual appearance and
unfoldment of the 'divine Plan' on Earth have experienced a
shift in consciousness and have become
focused in their higher 'intuitive' mind. They've become aware
of a force that flows beneath the surface
of physical reality, and that's beyond the perceptual
limitations of the rational mind.
This spiritual force is an expression and function of a
collective 'organism' that's comprised of all the
individual souls of Humanity. In other words, above the mental
plane we all exist as part of a 'gestalt
consciousness of human souls'. This gestalt exists in a realm
above and beyond the world of physical
appearances and mental perception. And its influence flows down
from the 'plane of Buddhi'that is,from the plane of the 'spiritual
intuition' (located directly above the mental plane). In this
super-
conscious realm there is no sense of separation between
individual souls because they all form part of
an organic holistically aware Entity. At this level every human
soul is conscious of its place and

function in the larger Organism and is consciously linked with
all the other member souls of the
Gestalt.
But unfortunately, that collective awareness is lost when human
consciousness descends into the dense
physical realm and becomes a human ego. This descent into
physicality and ego-consciousness is the
cause of the illusion of separation that plagues each and every
one of us for a time. In the physical
world our rational mind presents us with the appearance of
separation from our fellow human-beings
and from every other physical form outside of our own physical
bodies.
In the Hebrew Kabbalah the 'emerging divine Reality' principle
is
represented by the Hebrew letter Maym ( )transliterated as
the
English letter 'M'. In the Tarot it's represented by the trump
card called
the Hanged Man. In astrology the influence of the principle
of
Emergence is felt most strongly through the planet Neptune. In
the
remainder of this article I'll refer to this principle simply as
Maym.
The force of the principle of Maym naturally pushes through
the
existing reality structure we have created on our planet by
finding
pathways in consciousness that are open to its flowlike
watergravitating towards and flowing into channels dug in the
earth.
By 'pathways in consciousness' I mean pathways of entry into
human
consciousness. A pathway is created when we raise our
consciousness
beyond the lower mind. We then become potentially receptive to
the
flow of Maym, and therefore, potentially able to participate
'consciously' in the unfolding manifestation of the higher
Reality
blueprint.
The force of Maym is essentially a 'collective' influencethat
is, it's working to manifest a 'design'
that's been formulated within the collective consciousness of
the great human soul Gestalt that existson levels above the mental
plane. Maym is like a reservoir of creative energy that's waiting
to be
accessed by incarnate human-beings, but in order to tap into it
requires the raising of human
consciousness. And to translate its energy into material forms
(that express the higher Reality
blueprint) requires the evolution of the human mind and the
development of the intuitive faculty.
Therefore, until the majority of incarnate human-beings have
evolved in consciousness to the requisite
degree, the higher Reality blueprint will remain unrealized on
our planet except in a small
measurethat is, as a result of the minority who have contacted
the Maym reservoir, and who have
successfully translated the creative energy they've
received.
When Maym flows along a pathway in human consciousness and
becomes manifested in the physical
world the force of its influence is powerful and inevitable. Its
impact and momentum eventuallychanges the world in which we live
(in some way). Thereby a small part of the divine Plan becomes
realized.
N e p t u n e
Like water, the principle of Maym exerts an outward pressure
when it's contained by a limiting
boundary that prevents it from flowing freely. And when human
consciousness is limited by the lower
mind, the force of Maym pushes against its mental rigidity and
limited awareness. This influence is
most strongly felt during a transit of Neptune as it aligns with
the natal planets in a birth-chart.
There are basically two varieties of experience of Neptune
transits. The least common is that of 'divineinspiration'. This
occurs when pathways in consciousnessi.e. from the intuitive mind
into the mental
bodyhave been adequately developed and are therefore open to the
flow of Maym. These conditions
allow for an aspect of the higher collective Reality blueprint
to emerge into physical manifestation
