Song 557 – “The Evening Star” (3x)
Song 557 – “The Evening Star” (3x)
From the Soul of the Poet to Our Sister Star
Introduction—7 measures, 4/4 time
Lo! in the painted oriel of the West
Whose panes the sunken sun incarnadines
Like a fair lady at her casement, shines
The evening star, the star of love and rest!
HUM—5 measures, 2-1/2 beats, 4/4 time
The evening star, the star of love and rest!
And then anon she doth herself divest
Of all her radiant garments, and reclines
Behind the sombre screen of yonder pines
With slumber and soft dreams of love oppressed
With slumber and soft dreams of love oppressed.
Fanfare—1 measure, 4/4 time
Hesperus! Ah . . . . . . . .
Star of love! Star of love! (hold 5-1/2 beats)
O my beloved, my sweet Hesperus!
My morning and my evening star of love!
My best and gentlest lady! even thus
As that fair planet in the sky above
Dost thou retire unto thy rest at night
And from thy darkened window fades the light.
O my beloved, my sweet Hesperus!
My morning and my evening star of love!
O my beloved, my sweet Hesperus!
My morning and my evening star of love!
My best and gentlest lady! even thus
As that fair planet in the sky above
Dost thou retire unto thy rest at night
And from thy darkened window fades the light.
O my beloved, my sweet Hesperus!
My morning and my evening star of love!
Star of love!

Words from the poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
On April 28, 1991 Elizabeth Clare Prophet notes in a service before a Dictation by Phylos the Tibetan; “Our meditation for this dictation, is the music to our song “Hesperus.” It is a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, to which one of our musicians put this beautiful melody, which keys you right into the heart of Venus, brothers and sisters of Light who are there, who are a part of your family, your mandala, the group of souls you are working with. This puts us in the Venutian aura of Phylos and all of his experiences there.”
Venus (Hesperus) The Evening Star
The loss of the Mother flame
Devastating though that cataclysm was for millions of souls, of far greater consequence was the destruction of the focus of the Mother flame that had blazed on the altar of the main temple—a life-giving fire, the insignia of each man’s Divinity made manifest as Above, so below. Alas, the torch that had been passed was let fall to the ground. The strategies of the fallen ones, who had worked night and day with a fanatical zeal, were successful in accomplishing their end: the Mother flame was extinguished on the physical plane.
For a time it looked as though the Darkness had completely enveloped the Light. Beholding the defection of the race, cosmic councils voted to dissolve the planet whose people had forsaken their God; and this would have been its fate had Sanat Kumara not interceded, offering to exile himself from Hesperus (Venus) in order to keep the flame on behalf of mankind and hold the balance of the Light for Terra until such time as mankind should return to the pure and undefiled religion of their ancient forebears.
Although the physical focus of the Mother flame was lost when Mu went down, the feminine ray has been enshrined on the etheric plane by the God and Goddess Meru in their temple at Lake Titicaca.
Venus (the planet)
Venus is the planet of the third ray of this solar system, known to be the training ground for avatars who have been sent not only to earth but to the other planetary bodies infiltrated by the Luciferians. This is the home of Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha, Lord Maitreya, John the Baptist, Enoch and the entire hierarchy of Brahmanism, Hinduism, Lemurian and pre-Lemurian avatars. All of these have come through the great mystery schools of Venus and the halls and temples of the seven holy Kumaras.
The civilization and lifewaves of the planet Venus have long ago attained to the enlightenment and peace of a golden age. Their consciousness and life evolution exists in another dimension of the physical plane corresponding to that of the etheric octave. Many of the most enlightened among earth’s evolutions—inventors, artists, and seers—have come to earth from this higher plane of consciousness to transfer the blessings of God-dominion to the lifewaves of our planet.
Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus have said:
We … greet you from this altar in the joy of the love of Venus, the morning and the evening star, the star of your first breath and your last; for this home of light, beloved, is to you a place of abode, both while in embodiment and between incarnations.
The ray of Venus is anchored in the Earth in the city of Vienna.
