Sabian Symbols: Hidden choir singing

Hidden choir singing
Hidden choir singing
This universal idea is best expressed through planets in

Capricorn 20 (19° - 20°)

​SPIRITUAL FELLOWSHIP
Putting aside the ego we find that greater joy comes from
​shared celebration of our spiritual nature
 "Spiritual fellowship"
Much of what we call service and think to be altruistic is not truly so, in part it is self-serving because we enjoy it and it adds to our kudos. If however we move into higher consciousness where our attention is entirely upon spiritual realms, and we move entirely out of the public eye, then we can become a humble agency for Spirit. Humility is a blessed experience that is rarely achieved but more easily accessed through surrendering into group consciousness.

A HIDDEN CHOIR IS SINGING DURING A RELIGIOUS SERVICE

Worship

Hidden choir singing
Picture
Through worship, one unifying motivation enables us to experience the full exaltation of self

The universe of all life is nothing more than a complex series of vibrations – sounds – hidden by our own limits of perception, which join together into a choir to create what is called the music of the spheres. It is intuitively pleasing to see that music is an excellent metaphor for what we know as spirituality, and although we may not be religious and prayerful, we all worship in our own different, often hidden, ways.

Similar to the choir, which is composed of many individual inputs, various different characters in our lives contribute to our fullest sense of who we are. Each one can help us to understand how best we can take the initiative to optimise our situations and expressions of self.

Each separate element of the choir’s harmony is itself reordered by participating in the unity of the whole. In the same way we ourselves are modified as, seeking harmony, we make adjustments to accommodate yet another person’s influence into our lives. At root, this image is of a symphony of cosmic reconciliations, a statement of harmony as the binding force of the universe.

Each part of the symphony, each one of us, is brought to the point of ultimate individual expression, achieved by having a single unified source of motivation, and a single focus of result. Sufis express this idea as of the diversity within Unity and the unity within Diversity.

This process carries the unique gift for establishing common interest – and it does it with such panache, that both beauty and truth are enhanced. We find that we are able to realise our authentic potential, even to the point of joy, simply by being part of it, and in harmony with it all.

This is no time for personal aloofness and lukewarm loyalties; this is the opportunity to experience the full and passionate exaltation of self as an aspect of the whole.

It is worship: it creates and celebrates the power of good for all by demonstrating how the one serves the many and the many serve the one.

Commentary from Richard Grey
This is not ... A choir (visible & silent)...A choir singing (visible & singing)...A hidden choir (silent)
It is 'A hidden choir singing'. There are many of the 7 Words in play (aren't there always!).
N - the choir itself
H - the attention grabbed by the sounds created (unseen)
T - the beauty of the harmonies
G - decisions by each and every chorister concerning what, when and how to sing
P - singing together
S - sensitivity to the sounds created and appropriate adjustment
Y - the joy of singing and serving
Overall, I think the most subtle lesson here is Yes - (invisibly) working with others can increase bliss and joy

Advanced Level: Elven Star Analysis

​Although we can find relevance in some way to all 360 degrees, each degree resonates particularly, and mysteriously, with the 6 other points of its Elven Star and clues, from the 7 Words System, and the Sabian Journey, are shown in the text below. This fifth degree of the Expression "Fortitude" is the Progression principle.

The scope of Capricorn 20 is "Spiritual fellowship", and its means of expansion is Gemini 24, "Recreation as a tool for self-vitalisation". Its preferred path, Scorpio 28, "Awareness of our deepest yearnings", leads to its principle challenge, found in Taurus 2, "Epiphany of light".

Awareness of its spiritual purpose is described in Libra 7, "Taking responsibility for whatever is within our care", which generates the feedback found in Pisces 11, "Dedication to self-improvement above all things" and thus the evolutionary gateway offered by Leo 15, "Dramatization of collective spiritual values". 

​(This list will differ slightly from your Elven Star points unless your degree is exact, such as Taurus 15:00 not Taurus 15:39)
