Rise of the Wadjet Witch - By Juliet C. Obodo Page 0,37

Polar Cycle is divided into seven periods of 3,700 years each. The number seven is very important. If you add up all the digits and use the Illuminated addition process, you will get the number twenty-eight.”

“Illuminated addition process?” Memphis sounded like a parrot rather than a scientist, but she wanted to keep up. He was throwing so much information at her, and she had a slight hangover from last night. She tried not to think of Lawrence and his soft kisses. He had found this spot on her neck….

Her thoughts were thankfully interrupted by Virgil’s answer.

“From an ancient religion, allow me to walk you through the mathematical process.” He took out a blank sheet of paper from his briefcase and began to write down a series of numbers.

“One plus two, plus three, plus four, plus five, plus six, plus seven equals twenty-eight, and if you carry the process of each number to seven, the total will be eighty-four.” He began to draw circles. “This creates twenty-eight tangent circles and three realms of being. The outer realm is marked by the eighteen outer circles, the middle realm by nine middle circles, and the inner realm by one center circle.”

“Your universal center,” she blurted out. She then wondered how she could have possibly known that.

“Why, yes. Very good, Memphis.” He patted her on the head.

Instead of feeling patronized, she was relieved that she could finally contribute to the conversation.

“The number twenty-eight is the triune of man—man as spirit, soul, and body. Spirit is one, Soul is four, and Body is seven. The number of the perfected individual, therefore, equals twenty-eight, but the full process of individuation must take place and each number must be worked out. This takes eighty-four years.

“By developing only the basic numbers, we have one plus ten plus twenty-eight—a total of thirty-nine, the age when one reaches some important level of spiritual development.

“This twenty-eight-year cycle can be plotted out on your birth chart. The birth chart is used as a space pattern revealing the blueprint of the completed selfhood, but the time sequence of the operations of the building can also be discovered by starting from the ascendant—the beginning of the building—and following along the circumference of the chart in a counterclockwise motion. When the ascendant is reached, the first cycle of twenty-eight years is closed and the second begins, ending with the fifty-sixth year. The third twenty-eight-year cycle follows, coming to a close at the age of eighty-four, which marks the theoretical and symbolic completion of man’s inner temple. This is the end of the process on individuation.

“The physical birth takes place up to the age of twenty-eight, then you have the psycho-mental birth from ages twenty-eight to fifty-six, and then the spiritual birth to the end, eighty-four.

“Twenty-eight-year cycles form the true basis for the ancient idea of first born, twice born, and thrice born. Each cycle represents a complete revolution of the entire pattern of selfhood, the axis of the birth chart. This symbolic revolution is timed in a manner that every seven years, one arm of the cross comes to the position that the succeeding one occupied originally. So, at the age of seven, the ascendant comes to the position occupied at birth by the latter to that of the natal descendant. At fourteen, the ascendant comes to the birth position of the descendant at twenty-one of the Mid-heaven. At twenty-eight, it reaches its own natal position and a second cycle begins in the same pattern. The ascendant is the very center of the whole consciousness.

“At twenty-one, a person comes of age. The mind has to prove itself and find its own ideals, its own friends. This is the twelfth house stage. At the middle point of this seven-year cycle, at the age of twenty-four and a half, this is when you will face the greatest crisis between ideals and companions.”

Memphis listened to every single word, but it was difficult to follow. “So my upcoming year will be the most challenging?”

“Yes, but because you have the outer planets so prominently in your chart, you will be able to manage it.”

“What do you mean?”

“The voice of the collective is symbolized by the trinity of the remote planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. They may symbolize the spiritual apex of the collective humanity. They may even speak of cosmic events beyond our solar system to the initiated tidings from our galaxy and forebodings from the spaces beyond. In any case, they are wholeness speaking to individual particles.”
