This issue of Brevcirkeln, titled 'DEN STORA PLANEN. IV.' (The Great Plan. IV.), delves into the concept of oracles, exploring their historical significance and modern interpretations within a spiritual and esoteric framework.

Oracles: Ancient and Modern

The article begins by examining the common perception of 'oracle' as an obscure term associated with superstition and pagan worship. It references the definition from Nordisk Familjebok, which describes oracles as divine speech, prophecy, or places where such are obtained through supernatural means, distinguishing between spontaneous omens and those sought through specific rituals. Ancient methods like observing animal entrails and water-gazing are mentioned, along with the role of priests in interpreting often cryptic or ambiguous answers. The text notes the decline of oracles during the Hellenistic period but their revival during the Roman era, influenced by astrology and spiritualistic phenomena, and acknowledges Christianity's attempt to suppress them despite lingering superstition.

Despite modern society's rejection of traditional oracles (except perhaps for newspaper horoscopes), the article posits that oracles still exist in contemporary times, albeit under different names and operating discreetly. The author addresses the reader's potential skepticism about ancient practices like reading animal entrails, clarifying that such 'degenerate forms' are not the focus. Instead, the aim is to understand the true essence of an oracle.

The Oracle as a Transformer of Divine Energy

Drawing from previous issues (specifically B:5, 'On Vibrations. III'), the text revisits the hypothesis that the 'image of the divine being' described by Adamski in 'Flying Saucers Have Landed' might be a transformer. This suggests that space beings could have developed methods to transform divine, high-frequency vibrations into a frequency understandable by human emotions. Similarly, an oracle is presented as a transformer of divine energy. While Adamski's concept seems to involve a general, benevolent divine energy, the oracle is described as a 'telephone connection' between the divine and human planes. The divine, high-frequency vibrations ('rays') are transformed within the oracle to be perceptible to human minds. For this connection to function, an intelligent intermediary, an 'oracle priest' with both divine and human connection, is necessary.

Rudolf Steiner and the Sun Oracle of Atlantis

The article then turns to the teachings of Rudolf Steiner, who is credited with clarifying spiritual contexts. Steiner's book 'The Science of the Hidden' is cited, mentioning 'oracle priests' in ancient Atlantis. He refers to a great initiate, the 'Sun Initiate', who led the Atlantean oracles, contrasting this with subordinate oracular sites in Atlantis dedicated to Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter. This Sun Initiate was also the leader of a significant cultural colony that moved from Atlantis eastward. The concept of an oracle is framed as a connection between the divine world (a high-frequency vibration zone) and the human, low-frequency world. The article poses questions about the contact medium, the necessity of specific locations and 'initiated' individuals, and why individuals cannot themselves act as transformers of divine energy.

The Solmysteriet (Sun Mystery)

The concept of the 'Sun Initiate' leads to the 'Solmysteriet'. The article challenges the common view of the sun as a mere ball of fire, proposing instead that it is a force field of high-frequency energy. Steiner is quoted stating that the sun's light and warmth are merely the physical clothing of high spiritual beings behind the sunlight. These spiritual beings emit 'spiritual force rays' that descend to Earth. The leader of these beings, who send their beneficial effects to Earth, is identified as Christ. In pre-Christian times, this being was not sought on Earth but on the sun. Zarathustra is mentioned as correctly identifying this being as Ahura Mazdao and locating his dwelling on the sun.

Christ as the Sun's Leader

The article explains that the Sun Oracle was a connection between the sun beings, led by Christ, and human physical existence. It asserts that this connection continues to exist today, even if not explicitly called an 'oracle'. The spiritual influence on humans from higher spiritual beings is often described as radiation or a vibration stream. An oracle can be defined as the phenomenon where divine beings concentrate their attention on a specific Earth location, sending a constant energy stream ('ray'). This connection, along with the earthly location acting as the ray's focus, can be called an oracle. The person who receives and transmits these forces, often divine messages, is termed an 'oracle priest'.

The Divine Hierarchy and Cosmic Rays

Referencing previous circular letters (B:5 and B:6), the text mentions books attributed to Archangel Michael. Michael's writings are said to align with Steiner's, stating that God and the divine hierarchy manifest on the sun at a plane of extremely high vibrational frequency. The divine hierarchy is described as consisting of twelve high beings, each responsible for a 'sun plane' and a 'ray'. Among these are figures known to humans: Jesus Christ, Archangels Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, and historical figures like Echnaton (Pharaoh Amenhotep IV) and King Arthur. The article acknowledges the fantastic nature of these claims but suggests that further investigation reveals numerous correspondences.

Michael's writings describe an ancient Earth history, millions of years ago, when the Earth was populated, and he himself was an adept in Egypt, not yet an archangel. The divine hierarchy, with twelve 'officials' at its head, managed twelve 'sun planes' and their respective rays. These rays, originating from respective sun planes, are transmitted to Earth and other planets, often requiring down-transformation to be endurable by humans. In that ancient time, Michael and his 'eleven brothers in the sun hierarchy' were tasked with establishing focal points on Earth for each of the twelve rays, creating 'mystery schools'. According to the definition of 'oracle' provided, these focal points could be called oracles. The highest leadership for these schools was held by the Sol Logos itself.

The Cosmic Radium Ray (Christ Ray)

The most important of the twelve rays is identified as the 'Christ Ray', the cosmic energy stream managed by the being known as Jesus Christ. This cosmic silver ray, whose essence is known on Earth as radium, is generated on the first sun plane and transmitted to Earth via 'high silver antennas'. The article questions whether there have been focal points or 'oracles' on Earth for this Christ Ray, beyond Christ's manifestation as a human being.

Quoting Steiner, the text describes the Christ being as the leader of spiritual beings who, when the sun separated from Earth, departed with the sun and established a higher vantage point to work down on Earth. In pre-Christian times, humans looking at the sun would have perceived this being, much like Zarathustra did.

Moses and the Tabernacle of Revelation

The article connects the concept of the Christ force manifesting in human form to the Jewish people's history. It reiterates that the Christ ray, chemically speaking, is radium and needs down-transformation to benefit humanity. The authors Henry Kjellsson and Ivan Troëng are mentioned for their books on ancient cultures and technology, which discuss radioactivity in relation to Moses and the Ark of the Covenant, sometimes portraying Moses as a mere 'trickster'. However, the author disagrees with this portrayal.

Steiner is quoted again, stating that this high being (the Sun Being, Christ) increasingly approached Earth's sphere. Clear knowledge of Christ emerged when Moses, as the great forerunner, received his revelations in the burning bush and fire on Sinai. The text asks who saw Moses in the burning bush and fire, answering: Christ! This being increasingly approached human knowledge and observation, eventually walking on Earth, having previously made himself known to initiates from the cosmos.

Interpreting Moses' desert wanderings through the lens of mystery schools and oracles, the article suggests that Moses was likely an 'oracle priest' or 'Sun Initiate'. The Ark of the Covenant, also called the 'Tabernacle of Revelation', is proposed to be an oracle, a focal point for the Christ-(radium-) ray.

The author states that the scope of the circular letter does not permit a deeper dive into this subject but encourages interested readers to study the history of Moses, particularly concerning the Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle of Revelation.

Oracles and the Future

The concluding thought is that oracles have a future. The author, Hillevi Lindahl, has made contact with individuals directly connected to the 'Sun Mystery', described as a phenomenon 'from eternity to eternity', which could be called a modern Christ oracle. Lindahl hopes to further clarify these experiences in future letters.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the nature and history of oracles, the concept of divine energy transformation, the spiritual significance of the sun, the role of Christ and a divine hierarchy, and esoteric interpretations of biblical figures and events, particularly Moses. The editorial stance is one of exploring esoteric and spiritualistic viewpoints, drawing heavily on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and channeling attributed to Archangel Michael, presenting these as valid avenues of understanding beyond conventional scientific or religious paradigms. The publication appears to advocate for the continued relevance and future of spiritualistic oracular practices.
