Solemnity
An exalted offering of all one’s best feelings, it is a tension of all superior energies, a contact with the approaching gates. (AUM, 523)
True Solemnity is built in the highest tension. Solemnity is not rest, not satisfaction, not the end, but precisely the beginning, precisely determination and progress on the way to Light. (H, 71)
Solemnity should be strengthened by the concept of Brotherhood. It ought not to remain an empty sound. To affirm solemnity means to sing hymns to the rising sun. It must be realized what purification is vouchsafed at being filled with healthgiving solemnity. (BR, 295)
You know how greatly We oppose any conventional habits, yet one must discriminate between habit and immersion in saving grace. As an example, solemnity combines in itself ecstasy and ascent and a defense against evil and the turning toward Hierarchy. Thus solemnity is a salvation, but it must be absorbed and maintained. In the midst of disintegration and destruction can there be solemnity? But for a solemn consciousness destruction does not exist. It is immediately canopied by a cupola of recreation, in all its beautiful subtlety. Thus, the reflection of solemnity is justly considered luminous. (H, 525)
