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

• The period of Mokshove which is the month of the diamond makes for the days of light
  • It is a molder of men and women of strength
  • Those who get together as husband and wife during this period
    • Make a strong team throughout their lives in this world
• The Mokshove's greatest problem is emotional control
  • The emotions of ones from this era is that of the accumulated karma of other past lives
  • Where bad karma exists it causes truth to become involved
    • In a thousand emotional reactions and loses much resemblance to integrity
• Those born within this period often try to establish
  • Their own standards of honest and conditions of life
  • It sometimes works especially if the individual is highly developed
    • And can lead to great attainment in the spiritual works
  • But too often in the less developed type
    • The judgement is hopelessly biased by the intensities of the emotions
• The Mokshove is able to get along quite well with the Ralotist, whose jewel is sapphrie
  • These two stones, the diamond and the sapphire are harmonious stones

4.8.5.2 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 8: Cycle of the Bountiful Earth = Seltea
• It is a dualistic period, being both the masculine and femine
  • This leads to the complication
  • And often contradictory nature shared by those born in this era
• These people are generally quick-witted, but often slow to learn
  • They are good natured, but when angered can be vicious
  • They are fickle, but once attached to someone or something they remain loyal for a long time
    • Perhaps as in marriage till death do them part
  • The female of this period is inclined to flirt
    • And should be careful that she does not carry this too far
      • Or or it will be dangerous for her
    • She has talends and traits to do many highly
      • And splendid things with fashion designs, interior decorating
      • And related fields, because her sense of color is strong
  • The male Seltea, too, often excels in the field of arts
    • He can be extremely successful in the intellectual fields, such as teaching and science
    • But his dualistic nature often makes it difficult for others to understand him
      • And thus sometimes frustrates his ambitions at least temporarily
    • This makes him a hard person to live with, but if he can pick his mate well
      • She will be one with lots of patience and understanding of his temperament
  • These people do well to marry those born in the fifth cycle
    • The Years of the Full Moon
  • They should avoid those born in the sixth cycle
    • The Years of the Strange Storms
    • In most cases, for their solid natures do not fit well with these complicated traits of the Selteas
