It will soon be your birthday.... I can see that what we call "birthday" is an opportunity to take stock. That's why people consult astrologers on certain dates. The individual has a certain relationship or set of relationships with the Universal, and there must be a rhythm, things recur automatically at the same point in time. So every year, it should be possible to take stock with regard to what's below and what's above, or to what's behind and what's ahead. page 229 , Mother's Agenda , volume 7 , 8th Oct - 1966
