This means that the power of the Sun is the governing principle. In a sense we can better understand the procedure when we realise that our solar system consists precisely of 9 planets plus the Sun. The Sun is that 10^th, or, as described in the new cosmology, the Zero. It is either the 0 before the 1, or the 10 after the 9; or else it is the 19 after 18, and so on, depending on the grade attained.
          The important point to note is that this is a rhythm embedded in our very cells due to the measure of our solar system. As a species we have evolved to the point where the system has reached this measure in our awareness; we have devised technologies to perceive this measure, which indicates that as a species we have indeed crossed a very special – and dangerous – threshold. As a collective, global experience we stand at the most vulnerable point, similar to the Aryan Warrior when at that borderline crossing he becomes the most vulnerable to the hostile forces, when he must live the experience of the 9 becoming the 10. In other words, he reaches the Sun. He enters the Solar World and with this passage he comes under those higher Laws of a solar essence, the stuff of the Sun, as it were.
          In ancient times this measure was known. The method for knowing the sacred measure of things may have been different, but the results were the same. This knowledge was subsequently lost but the essence was nonetheless carried over into Hinduism by maintaining that measure even though it did not seem to make any sense. For example, Hindus incorporate the Lunar Nodes in the count of planets, though it seems obvious that astrological observations were advanced enough to know that they were not planets but orbital intersections. Their incorporation was a means to keep the measure of 9. And so it has been over the past thousand years, in spite of the ridicule from science. The reason why it is important to know the Measure is because it must form the basis for the Laws of Correspondence and Equivalence to operate. But together with this scale there must be the right application, the correct time factor. And this is what was lost when the Capricorn Solstice was torn from its position in the Warrior’s ‘journey’ to the Sun, leaving him no gateway to Swar.
          With the hints provided by these 12 Chronicles, it can be understood that the Rig Veda was a text composed by a civilisation that utilised the sacred universal Language of ages gone by, a Language whose alphabet has now been lost in the land where it may have taken birth. And those of us today who have been given the task of re-establishing the sacred Measures must indeed have the forbearance and the fortitude of the Aryans of old so that the journey is not brought to a halt at the threshold where the 9 becomes the 10.
          We may provide a practical example of the attainment by referring to the two ‘lines’ which form the DNA of the New Way, so to speak, and which were described by the Mother as dark blue and golden yellow ‘numbers’. They were living things, the Mother noted, as indeed they do refer to living entities. We use the formula provided by Sri Aurobindo’s symbol at the heart of the chamber’s Core, - 9/6/3/0-1. With this equation we can ‘update’ the Veda, so to speak, and apply the Laws in the midst of our very changed society, though respecting the original sense and purpose in every way – perhaps even in a more complete way. And thus we note that the Laws are indeed eternal. The question is simply one of making that passage to the solar world; and then the same secrets of old are unveiled as the very same operating principles of our contemporary society, which appears to be very much a denial of all that the ancient Veda held most dear.
          It must be borne in mind that the controlling element is the Law.  The realisation of Skambha provides the stable constant whereby a central holding Point makes use of all circumscribing conditions to fulfil its inherent Purpose – be this in 3000 BCE or today.
