The Emperor - To BE something, to KNOW something and to BE CAPABLE OF

something is what endows a person with authority. Retain your inner balance now
and from the exhaustless riches of the Limitless Substance - you can draw all
things needful, both spiritual and material. Spiritually - aspire your highest goals,
mentally - build according to a logical and practical set of plans, physically - act
upon your goals and plans, emotionally use your anger to motivate you and you
will achieve your visions.

Reason is the function of your conscious mind - handle your affairs in a systematic
manner and you will know concrete results. You will experience the wisdom and
authority necessary to produce stability, solidity, organization and foundation. If
you wish for Spirit to manifest itself, it is necessary for you to create a space of
"emptiness" for Spirit to use to assist you in focusing on the truth and to achieve
this; you must be willing to put aside your personal opinions. If you wish to
receive a revelation of truth - you must put aside your personal development and
allow yourself to be guided by the Master.

God governs the world by authority - not by force. The Emperor owes his
authority not to his power "over" human beings - but because he represents them
before God - he has authority because he is human and represents all that is human
and the more truly human you become - the more you manifest the "image and
likeness of God". (Genesis 1:26) To write your own "constitution" - clarify your
objectives and give meaning to your life. Accept the spiritual responsibility for
yourself and do not shrink from your desires and passions. Once you have defined
your goals - put all your powers and faculties together so that they become
available to you in practical ways - then you can manipulate them in the direction
of your heart's desire. Oversee your work to insure that it is solid. Your place in the
scheme of things is to wake up to your specific reason for being here in this place
and time. You come to know who you are, by learning that you are not. The
imperatives of your physical body, the aspirations of your mind, the passions of
your heart, the limits and opportunities of the world and the pull of your spirit,
must all be represented and consulted in any decision-making process.

You are free to believe or not to believe, for nothing can compel you to have
faith - there is no physical torture or logic that can force you to believe, to
recognize or accept the authority of God - however, once accepted - the divine
power can manifest itself and the powerless become powerful. Stability allows for
spiritual development, however - if you lose touch with your passions, your life
soon becomes cold and barren. The crucial test in the process of maturing is to
absorb the rules, traditions and beliefs you have been taught and then go beyond
them to find your own personal code of conduct.

Recognize the power of society, its laws and its authority to enforce those
laws - then order your thoughts and energies and seek stability as you allow
yourself to experience wholeness and unity within yourself. You are entering a
time of stability and order which will open you to creative energy. Maintain
dominion over your mind, your emotions and your body. Continue to practice and
make use of your "spiritual exercises" if you wish to awaken the deeper layers of
your consciousness. Focus on achieving the state of concentration without effort,
which is followed by "inner" silence. This "inner" silence becomes inspired
thought as your conscious unites with the super conscious. Your conscious
receives the inspired thought, then reviews and summarizes it. The aim of
"spiritual exercise" is depth - what a person KNOWS is the result of personal
experiences - while the "depth" and extent of that knowledge is what you have "in
common" with others. It is only after having asked, sought and knocked - having
received, found and gained - that one truly KNOWS.

Physical origin of the spiritual plane representing the concept of the divine
right of kings. The obedience of the Emperor to God and the obedience of man to
God through the earthly administration of the Emperor. The origin of duty and
conscience. A master at the science of influence - the political spirit. Male
authority figure with ultimate responsibility for making things work in the physical
world. There is no earthly authority higher and no responsibility greater than this.
The buck stops here. Here is structure and foundation. The magnet that holds
society together. The person we rely on for fair judgement and intuitive common
sense. The leader among leaders. The epitome of self-sufficiency, so efficient that
he can provide for the needs of his loved ones and all others who require his help.
ZEN - discipline and foresight to accomplish goals in the here and now with keen
awareness of past, present and future. Interplay between dependence and
independence - the one and the all - the gentleman.
