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

• the period of Parinama is that of the days of beauty, or month of the jasper
• It is one of the strongest of the jeweled periods of the ECK-Vidya
  • As well as the most enduring
• There is danger of introversion in this sign
  • For the negative qualities of this era
  • Can turn back all negative emotions upon themselves
  • And make difficult all mental, emotional and physical expressions
• The Parinama is an independent, ambitious and progressive type of indivudal
  • But his normal expresison is almost impossible
    • Because of his peculiarly, crystallized personality
  • This often causes him to have problems
    • In trying to spiritually unfold under the living ECK Master
  • Becaue of his need to have modernization in his daily life
    • He can find greater happiness with those born in the period of Garvata
    • The month of joy, or that of the jade
    • Such friends or mates can help the Parinama to overcome impatience
      • And to settle down to an appreciation of reasonable and simple things
• Those under the sign of Parinama are often unhappy
  • Not so much from the negatives of their state
  • But from the comparison of their position at the time
  • And the spiritual standards toward which their ambitions may be pointed

4.10.5.2 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 10: Cycle of the Raging Fires = Neralit
• The persons born in this period are somewhat feminine in nature
  • Ad make excellent friends
  • They are honest, sincere and mostly trustworthy
  • They usually have placid and untroubled dispositions
    • And this sort of trait runs through their lives from birth to death
  • That is unless they come into contact with those born in the ninth cycle
    • The Years of the Abundant Fruits
    • These two signs cannot come to any agreement on many things
  • Also, those in the twelfth sign, the Cycle of the Trembling Leaf
    • Will bring about a similar problem between the two
• The female Neralit is a person to be cherished as a wife
  • For she is deeply devoted in her loyalty to her husband and the care of her children
  • She will do most anything including work
  • She will even fight for the happiness of her family
    • And those that she cares for during her lifetime
  • Neither will she ever forget a friend
• The man born in this period has the characteristic trait of being trustworhy to a fault
  • Occasionally running into some trouble although not seriously when considered
  • But he is often taken advantage of because of his basic faith in people
    • And their goodness, in which he has a firm belief
  • On the other hand he is apt to have many friends
    • Who will come to his aid in the time of trouble and need
• These people do well to marry those who are of the third cycle
  • The Years of the Brilliant Sun
  • Their qualities should complement each other
• But most of all they should avoid those of the twelfth cycle
  • The Years of the Trembling Leaf
