Daily Attention to

The Five Realms of Human Destiny

Intention 10° Capricorn – An albatross feeding from the hand of a sailor.

Continuing – 22° Pisces – Bringing peak experiences, inner revelations “down from the mountain” into the real world to share with others.

Recognizing – 4° Gemini – The Holly and Mistletoe awaken old memories of Christmas.

Participating – 16° Leo – The storm ended, all nature rejoices in brilliant sunshine.

Constructing – 28° Libra – Becoming aware of unseen spiritual forces, assisting and surrounding one.

Intention  communion of love and compassion brings together disparate lives.

Every living entity plays a role in the world’s ritual of existence.

Continuing  sharing with others, here and now, inner revelations.

Recognizing  emotional search for pre-intellectual state of consciousness. Holly’s magical and brilliant primary colors contrasted in red and green as in Tibetan art and green in mistletoe used in ancient Druid rituals, nostalgia for more natural and feeling-oriented values, resurgence of deeper values and aspirations, return to source, contact with archetypes.

Participating joy and power of new beginnings.

Constructing  realization one is never alone, communities visible and invisible sustain one’s efforts producing state of inner assurance, rejecting the one heresy – the dark path of ego isolation.

  The Five Realms of Human Destiny derive from Dane Rudhyar’s Astrological Mandala, although Rudhyar did not propose them. They were made clear to me one rather extraordinary morning on December 5, 1977 after a long period of chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge Kyo (devotion to the Lotus Sutra), and discovering in a moment twenty-two hours after I was born at full Moon, thus degree points are certain and exact, as degrees at birth moment are not—we can’t be sure of the exact moment of “first breath.” I call this moment of full moon after birth moment, “Promises Made in Past Lives” to fulfill destiny. The “Realms” are a 5 division, 72° each of the Tropical Zodiac.

  In Buddhism’s “ten worlds” the fifth world is the world of Humanity. Also, the “five roots” possessed by those who seek enlightenment are “”Faith” (Original Intent), “Zealous Progress” (Continuing), “Memory” (Recognizing), “Meditation” (Participation), and “Wisdom” (Constructing).

  I now view these Five Realms of Human Destiny quite beyond the personal, and see them as a daily guide for all of us—what might be called “mindfulness of intent”—as one fulfills one’s destiny in life’s experience.
