Fate, Astrology, and the Seven Archons of the Material Plane

The material realm of the Earth is governed primarily by the subconscious aspect of the mind, which is the aspect that governs all of Nature and the animal kingdom as the instinctual field of mass consciousness, or what is referred to as the collective unconscious of the World Soul. This field of intelligent energy is also known as the Astral Plane (atmosphere) of the Earth, and is populated with natural forces, nature spirits, elemental remnants of memory, and archetypes, all of which vibrate at different frequencies based on kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal, human), and the different levels of consciousness that govern each of those kingdoms. The kingdoms of Nature are further divided into families of species and types that make up each kingdom. This forms a classification system that serves to organize the consciousness of all living systems into a dynamic matrix that makes up the natural world. The active component that works to impregnate the World Soul and shape the material world, are known as the 7 Archons of the universe who are responsible for building the infrastructure of the material world, known as the original creation. These 7 Archons form a direct correspondence to the 7 planetary archetypes of the Zodiac, which are an inherent part of our own higher mind and archetypal makeup.

Within the material realm of the Earths Soul, all living creatures, with the exception of man, only possess a level and degree of consciousness that functions in an automated manner through memory inherent in the instinctual field, which provides living creatures with patterns of automated behaviors regulated intuitively through feelings, emotions, impulses, and natural reactions. No aspect of the natural world here on Earth has the ability think, form ideas into mental pictures, or make decisions for itself that bypass instinctive impulses and direct it’s own activities. Only humans have been bestowed with the conscious aspect of the mind, which is creative in nature and invents original ideas and ways of doing things by engaging in creative mental processes. Their life in terms of what we would call fate or destiny, is predetermined by their species and classification, their living conditions and circumstances, and so on, all of which are governed by the natural forces of Nature, symbolically represented as Archons, archetypes which form etheric prototypes, astrological influences that direct the forces of the astral plane, and the Elements that make up the astral/material world. Their fate is set at birth, and they don’t have the ability to willfully alter the course of their life by thinking for themselves, actively problem-solving and choosing, or through their ability to imagine and shape ideas in their mind as the precursor to actual creation. Because of this, the subconscious mind is referred to as the faithful servant of the Archons, because it’s only course of action is based on programming instilled in it as memory of some kind. It’s the mind of automatic actions that respond to the environmental influences which are considered fateful. Their fate, so to speak, is set by the stars as a fixed pattern and range of possibilities that influence the natural forces of the material world which it is subject to and reliant on.

Man, born into the physical world through an animal body has the subconscious mind that’s natural to this world and governs all the natural biological processes of the body in an automatic and unconscious fashion, also possesses the higher aspect of the mind called the self-conscious mind and the Divine Soul that has free will and the ability to tune into higher forms of knowledge as the means of creating through original thought of some form. Through our inherent ability to develop ourselves through study and disciplined activities, we evaluate the nature of things and make decisions for ourselves that actively impose a direction on our life and willfully determine our destiny. But only if we exercise our higher intellectual capacities of choice and free will. We only ever grow (break existing patterns) through striving and effort formed as willful action and self-discipline. When we live out of a primarily unconscious state, unaware of our higher, divine nature, we’re subject to fate, but when we awaken and begin learning how to utilize the capacities of our higher mind in being able to direct and program our subconscious mind, we determine the course of our life as destiny.

 We are the only beings on this planet that have these higher capacities, but we have to realize it and actively choose to use our will in order to become an individual capable of thinking and doing for ourselves. If we don’t become self-aware and wake-up to our power to be self-determined, and live our life instead from a primarily unconscious state as the programming of our subconscious mind instilled through our conditioning, and instead allow ourselves to be pulled along and determined by our environment and the will of others, then we are subject to fate, and have the experience of life happening to us without any real control or say so.

When we live in a primarily unconscious state, unaware of our true identity, and act only out of natural, emotionally driven behaviors and reactions, easily directed, programmed, and commanded by the influence of others, our lives are accurately predicted by our astrological birth charts, which govern the astrological influences of natural forces, cycles, and currents of the lower mind. Our life is then predetermined and prophesied by the automatic enactment of inherent tendencies and our basic predisposition. Throughout our life we’re governed by habitual and addictive tendencies, codependency of various sorts, and reactive emotional behaviors. Our emotions rule us and exercise constant control over us. Other people can easily exercise control over us by keeping us in an emotionally reactive state. Our life is lived from a primarily unconscious state where we live out the same tendencies over and over, in many different relationships through the various and evolving stages of our life. Our only thoughts are ones we received from others through some form of suggestion, education, reading, conversation, movie, song, etc. We stay in the same patterns formed and held into place by the same moods, feelings, emotions, thoughts, and repetitive actions. We can accurately use the events of the past to predict the future. We can look at the theme and path of someones last relationship, and predict the future and path of their current relationship. No matter what they go through in life, they remain the same basic person and fail to grow in the most basic sense of becoming self-determined.

The only way to move beyond the laws that govern the lower plane is by identifying with the higher plane which resides over it and governs it, and to work by way of the laws that govern the higher plane. We can’t get away from the laws that govern our physical plane, but we can transcend it, and work by way of the laws that create, orchestrate, and direct it. To transcend the fate of an unconscious existence, is to realize our true identity as beings that are not of this world, but rather of a world that resides over it, and by using our ability to think for ourselves, make conscious decisions for our life, and willfully bring them into fruition, determining the path our life takes, and who we become as a result. Through cultivating an awareness of our true inner self, recognizing who we are as a immortal soul inhabiting our body, and giving our higher mind precedence over our lower nature, we birth our higher self within our physical body and reclaim our divinity. When we step into our sovereignty and begin fashioning ourselves to be an individual of our own making, we’re no longer subject to the will and whims of others, or blindly pulled along through the currents of the group mind, unable to gain our footing on solid ground.

By waking up, becoming self-aware and coming to know ourselves as we truly are, and by recognizing how our mind works according to the universal principles that govern and operate it through a group will, we can learn how to operate our own mind by employing the higher laws that shape our identity through individual will. We can separate ourselves from our emotions and the emotional charges and willful projections of others, learn to maintain control over ourselves, and consciously make decisions that will break past patterns and set into motion a new reality of our own making. We can become the captain of our own ship and through a sense of confidence in our abilities and a sense of adventure, we can begin charting new courses never before experienced. We can regain our ability to not only be self-determined in every moment by exercising our will in self-creating, but also through our ability to control ourselves, no longer be influenced by others or triggered into reactive behaviors, and in doing so, be able to influence others and how events unfold through group activities.

The natural forces that govern the material realm and act through the lower subconscious mind, commonly referred to as the Elements, are controlled by the higher mind through active use of the will and imagination, represented as Archons. Through our will, which is an power of our higher mind, we can command and direct the energies of the natural world. When we recognize and step into our Divine birthright, and become like the gods we are kin to, we take possession of our power to willfully create our destined adventures by taking decisive actions and believing in ourselves and our ability to create new worlds. We become the Archons who fashioned the material world by directing the elemental energies of the Earths instinctive field. The right and ability to choose our destiny is the birthright of every person. When other people, corporations, governments, or civilizations try to take that right away from us and we willingly cooperate, we accept the fate of whatever they offer, and lend our will to them and become slaves by cooperating and complying with their will being imposed on us. Even in this situation, we are willingly giving them our life by allowing them to command our will and determine our actions. We act cooperatively to fulfill their ideas for us, and become like domestic, caged animals when we do. Whatever we equate ourselves to, we become like in mind and spirit. Whatever we relate to and identify with, we align ourselves with, merge into, and become one with.

 Either way, whether willful creation or blind submission . . . the choice is always ours!
