All is Energy!
For those of you who are not familiar with
esoteric philosophy or do not know it well I
will remind you that all is energy. Thus you
should simply relax and try to feel the energy
rather then concern yourself with understanding
everything.
During the lecture you can ask questions or make
comments. After the meditation you may also ask
questions.

We get Cancer?

• Cancer is the 4th sign of the zodiac and thus the
  fourth stage of development.
• The Cancer need is
• not one of individual survival as it was in the
  first three signs. Here, it is eternal survival
  through perpetuation of the species.
• It is the sign of fertility and nurture, and
  Cancers have strong identification with these
  matters in one form or another.

15
Cancers are doers.
In spite of their emotional sensitivity, they are
strong-willed and have no trouble expressing what
they want, then finding a way to get it.
Cancers who feel threatened or suspect that their
attempts may be unsuccessful, often hide their
true ambitions until a more comfortable situation
occurs.
Rather than direct confrontation or request, they
are more apt to resort to using emotional appeal.
They set out to accomplish things and, one way or
another, they want to obtain their goals.
16
Cancers react emotionally to everything they
experience in life.
They wear their hearts on their sleeves
Many Cancers succeed in life because their
genuine concern for the welfare of others
inspires loyalty as well as cooperation.

Cancers Astrological Symbol

• A crab is able to walk or run sideways.
  Similarly, Cancer natives can sometimes move
  about in life, in a figurative sense, in an
  indirect manner. The crab's body is covered by a
  carapace (shell). Cancer natives are
  self-protective and sensitive, and often retreat
  into themselves when hurt.

The Cancer Myth
22
Mother means different things to different
people.
strong and sustaining
safety and pleasure and warmth
Mother
What does Mother mean to you?
devouring, possessing emotion which threatens to
suffocate
destructive and dark
23
We all have come from mothers!
For Cancer, the experience of Mother in all its
forms is rooted in his/her inner life.
He never wholly escapes Mother, for he must learn
to become Mother.
Mother is always an enigma for Cancer. 
Often they are running away - from the past, from
childhood, from Mother. 
24
Before there were ever gods on Mount Olympus, or
heroes to fight the Trojan War, there was the
Mother Goddess.
25
Mother is as powerful to a child as Mother Earth
once was to our ancestors.  She is huge, vast,
mysterious - the source of food and life, the
giver or withholder of love and comfort. 
26
Mother Earthalways had a consort.
27
What does this mean, when we consider that it is
a myth closely bound up with Cancer? 
28
The consort can also be a son!
29
Well now mention some of the challenges to
Cancer. Remember though we are talking about the
energy of Cancer and there are many types of
energy.

The Exoteric Rulerof Cancer is the Moon
Moon, the exoteric ruler of Cancer, wants to
build forms. A hard shell hides the deep
emotional nature. All changes stir him, often to
a negative reaction.
34
The Esoteric Rulerof Cancer is Neptune
Esoteric ruler Neptune bestows inspiration of a
high order and the invisible assistance to bring
it into reality. His impressions manifest a vivid
imagination, and are nourishment for the soul if
this frequency is constructively used.
In the two rulers of this signthe Moon and
Neptune you have the symbols of a close
relationship between the Mother of all Forms and
the God of the Waters, that is between the two
planets.

release and light, so dominant Rays today, is

36
The Labors of Hercules
Each sign represents a different aspect of mans
development.
This is the story of the individual Christ,
crucified upon the cross of matter, and
incarnated in each human being, God, incarnate in
matter.
The Labours of Hercules was written in 1936 by
Alice Bailey wherein Hercules needs to complete
12 tasks one in each sign.
37
The Labour in Cancer
The Capture of the Doe
At the fourth gate, Hercules stands in silence.
He looks across to a far horizon where the temple
of the Lord, the shrine of the Sun God, can be
seen, and, on a nearby hill, a slender fawn.
38
Hercules completes his task
, Each maid deludes him and tries to foil his
efforts
He wants to keep it for himself
again and yet again must all the sons of men,
who are the sons of God, seek the golden antlered
fawn and bear it to the holy place again and yet
again
39
Interpretation of the myth
again and yet again must all the sons of men,
who are the sons of God, seek the golden antlered
fawn and bear it to the holy place again and yet
again
The sign of Cancer is known as the gateway to
incarnation, and represents the mass or
instinctual consciousness.
