of only six thousand and a few hundred years; far from it; but there are spirals within spirals and recapitulation takes place in the epochs and races, so that we may know what is the general destiny by looking at the Sun’s passage through these signs and therewith taking this import and symbolism into consideration, It may also be said that the further we advance the smaller do the spirals become, the shorter the time in which a given improvement is made, because of the proficiency we attained in former ages, and therefore it is extremely probable that this present is the last lap, that the coming Aquarian Age is the final preparatory school day which will fit us for the new age, the Sixth Epoch, and that will begin when the Sun by precession enters Capricorn.
This, of course, would mean that the Second Advent must take place just before that time, and though it seems to us that so many signs point that way, this is a mere surmise and may not have any truth in it at all. Thousands of people have been misled during all the ages that we know of, to think that Christ would soon be here; it is, however, better that we are looking forward to it then if we should say with some, that it will never take place. In that ease the Great Day will find us unprepared and we should find ourselves among the stragglers who are unfit to attend the wedding feast of the higher Self to the lower because lacking the “soul-body” which is the “wedding garment” that enfolds them.
