4.12.5.1 Months of the ECK-Vidya Wheel and their workings with the law of karma

• Niyamg, or the days of charity, which is the month of the onyx
  • Is the last of the twelve periods of the ancient ECK-Vidya calendar
• Those persons born in this period are usually of a negative nature
  • Until the living ECK Master can have an opportunity to change them
  • They have specific karmic problems in wasting energy
    • Because few persons born during this period know how to relax
    • This waste is often reflected in their actions and reactions to others
• It is that period in which the cycle of the ECK-Vidya is completed
  • And the living ECK Master is gathering up the loose ends of incarnations
    • Which the individual born in this period has gone through
  • Sometimes it is a heavy load of karma for the individual
  • But when it is paid, the incarnating Soul is then ready to step out fresh
    • With this karma sublimated in spiritual power
    • Then he doesn't have to return to this physical universe ever again
• The Niyamg is fortunate to be able to get along well
  • With those born in the Astik period, the month of the emerald
  • Because of the general wisdom of the Astikist
    • If married they have a mate to help guide them
    • Through all the difficulties of this heavy karma
    • While the living ECK Master is assisting in lifting it

4.12.5.2 Years of the Duodenary Cycle

• Eck-Vidya Cycles
  • The yearly period is the little cycle
  • The three-year period is the middle cycle
  • The twelve-year period is the greater cycle
• The greater cycle which is called the Haram, or the Duodenary
  • It is the higher vibrations which rotate every twelfth year
  • Changes occur in the chemistry and spiritual makeup of men, nations, planets and communities
  • By uplifting those Souls which make up these units of civilizations
    • Of course some will not be lifted because of their degeneration or slow progress

• Year 12: Cycle of the Trembling Leaf = Muzuart
• These people are hyperactive and cheerful in their disposition
  • But they tend to tire themselves to the point of sheer exhaustion
    • Because of their sheer excess of zeal for doing a good job
  • They do enjoy poking around in some odd corner of the world
    • Doing things that few people have ever done
    • And exploring the occult and the psychic sciences
• Some women born during this period have the knack of incessant chatter
  • Which drives mates, relatives and friends up the wall
  • Their enthusiasm for almost everything that appears in their lives is too much for others
  • Yet despite this most men will be and are highly stimulated by them
  • And often, as mates and employees find them irreplaceable
  • Women of this cycle do well in the entertainment world, and often in newspaper work
• The men born in this cycle are usually highly placed executives
  • They seem to have a natural talent for this type of career
  • They are also good as explorers, detectives and reformers
  • Once they become interested in a subject
    • Tthey follow that subject as far as they can
    • Often becoming so absorbed that they forget to eat or sleep
  • They sometimes have a tendency to put up a facade
    • Which will mask their real intentions and concerns
    • About their own problems, and how they feel about others
• These people do well in marriage with those in the first and third cycles
  • Respectively, the Years of the Fierce Winds, and Years of the Brilliant Sun
  • However, they can do reasonably well with most any of those born in any cycle of the duodenary cycles
