The Cosmic Cardinal Cross is a symbol that encompasses all the initiations of the zodiac. It is a symbol for the Oneness of All Life and Individual Freedom Rights. It is a symbol for a free person in spirit as well as a guide for spiritual growth in freedom. 


(Symbol of the Cosmic Cardinal Cross)

                The Cosmic Cardinal Cross is a Cardinal Cross with a circle around it. Since the universe is infinite in all directions, no matter where you are, you are the center of the universe, which is symbolized by a dot in the center of the universal circle.  If you go into the dot in the center of the universal circle, you become one with the universal circle. You focus on going into the dot by putting the consciousness between the brows and listening to your breathing.  The Cosmic Cardinal Cross provides a  link between  the stars and life through the breath.

     The  symbol has a sound,  spelled O I A,  sounded  “oh-ee-ah”, which is tied to the cycle of breathing. Exhale the universe, the O,"oh".  Inhale  the universe on the I,"ee",  with  the  energies traveling  up  the spinal column from the base to the top of  the head,  with the consciousness between the brows.  Hold the breath for A,"ah",  with the tongue briefly pressed against the roof  of the mouth for creative tension,  and the energy at the top of the head is spread in the triangle shape based across the shoulders.

     The  mantra  of  the Cosmic Cardinal  Cross  is  "oh-ee-ah", intoned  the first two syllables the same and the third  syllable one  half  note higher. The half note step is for the  period  of years  in the beginning of the Aquarian-Leo Age. After the  first few years, the third syllable is chanted with a full note up. The  yantra  of  the  Cosmic Cardinal Cross  is  the  symbol itself.

          The  structure  of astrology has the symbol of the  Cosmic Cardinal  Cross at the top of its hierarchy both in terms of  its  natural placement  at  the beginning of the circle and  encompassing  the four cardinal signs, and in terms of its spiritual meaning in the context  of  the other crosses.  It is not enough to look at  the crosses  as  being  of relative value to each  other,  a  mutable viewpoint.  The  holistic approach puts the crosses in a  unified continuum which shows the hierarchy of the crosses as it  relates to the development of the spirit in the human body.

     The  cardinal  cross stands at the top of the  hierarchy  of crosses which denote the qualities which permeate existence.  The entry level is the mutable cross, indicating change of a relative nature,  change  that  goes  side to side,  where  the  terms  of polarity  are  relative.  Next  comes the fixed  cross  with  its meaning of stability and fixed durability, and no change. At the top is  the  cardinal  cross  with the  quality  of  dynamic  change, containing the beginning and end.

             This   state of full realization is the top of the Cosmic Cardinal Cross as it has  its place at the top  of  the  head  of  the astrological body of humans.  It takes the balance and improves upon it. The spinal column is the upright in the cardinal cross   and the  heart  chakra  is the level of the  base  of  the  triangle.  The  cross  level of the cardinal cross is at  the  heart  level, meaning  its  energies can go no lower than the heart  and  still stay the cardinal cross. The horizontal demands the perfection of desire in the sense of its purification to formless desire.

     The  Cosmic Cardinal  Cross indicates the energies brought from  the base of the spine to the top of the head. Over a period  of  time  breathing the Cosmic Cardinal  Cross can bring the  consciousness to the centerpoint of the individual  and open the third eye  and the  crown  chakra,  which when  achieved gives the oneness  with all.   This is becoming  the living Cosmic Cardinal Cross.   This corresponds to the opening  of the crown chakra.  The saying goes that  the "...sixth sounds the seventh,  and they all  sound  the one."  In raising  the energies to and placing the  consciousness between  the  brows,  the sixth chakra opens, also known  as  the third eye.  As long  as the third eye is open,  the crown  chakra is  opening. At some point in full  bloom of the crown chakra  is the  buddhic  consciousness,  the clear  white  light,  the  full knowledge  and  directorship  of  the one  mind.   There   is   a practical realization of the oneness  of  all life.  Many  people have  glimpsed  this state,  but few can hold it  and   stay   in  their bodies.  The realization of  oneness  is  so complete  that a  body  is no longer necessary unless a decision   is  made   to  bring the light and consciousness to the  earth  plane, which  is the  lowest  level of the vortex that leads like a  tornado  from  the  higher levels to the lowest which is the  earth.

     It is the Alpha-Omega point. It is the point and the circle. Thus  it is the dot in the center of the circle.  The analogy  is not  only  mathematical but also metaphysical. The 0  degrees  of Aries  point  marks the beginning of spirit's entry   into  form.  Nine months later is the entry into Capricorn, symbol of dynamic earth.  Nine  months  is also the  gestation  period  for   human  pregnancy.  A human is an example of  dynamic  earth. Concomitant  to  the analogy of the birth of a human is  the  real  occurrence  of  the rebirth of the sun in the sense of the   winter  solstice and the increasing length of days.

     When  there are disturbances in the  ethers   or  unbalanced  forces,   the sound "oh-ee-ah" can  create  a  dynamic change  in the  disturbance to bring it into balance.      The sound of "oh-ee-ah" can be used in any point of change. If any   change   were  to  be regarded  as  an  initiation,  then  the blessing  of  the Cosmic Cardinal Cross can make it change for the better, for  the greater  one.   In  the end, all  things  are  contained  in  the universal   love   which   enables existence as  we  know  it  to continue  even as parts of our world do not express the  love  of which they are made.

     Just    as   a person may not feel  absolutely,  cosmically  free  until   he or she    has   the consciousness  raised to the top  of  the head,   so that person will not  be able  to act free until  the  behavior respects individual  freedom rights.  In  fact the realization of the oneness of all life  and the  accepting of responsibility for one’s  own rights are part  of the  moral,  civil  and   spiritual development of a human as  a  free individual,  and  the  development  of the  consciousness  of  an enlightened  human who must act,   if only  because  of  existence in  the world of duality.  For example, the USA Constitution's Bill of Rights is a moral code for a free person, yet it is not fully realized until the moral code is lived.

     We   are   all   already   One,  and  it  is  a   matter   of  realizing  it. There  is  no separation  from the One,  only  the appearance. The One is  never lost;  a  human being's  perception may become clouded  or  turned away, but the fundamental  oneness is never lost. The Cosmic Cardinal Cross is a way to hold to  the center,  the  source, the balance, the higher self even  in  this material world of illusion.
