For millennia, humankind has looked upwards to the stars for guidance. This is evidenced by the extant observatories in South America and the European megaliths such as Stonehenge. Astrological studies of the Zodiac have influenced all cultures. We perceive stars as the pinnacle of creation in physical reality and thus apply the word ‘star’ to people of celebrity, or the principal actors in theatre.

The word star itself comes down to us from Old English. We also use the adjective astral, which comes from one of the Latin words for star, ‘astrum,’ to describe the invisible counterpart to our body (corresponding to the old Egyptian part of the self they called the Ka), as well as the unseen astral plane. Actually, the ancient Romans most often used the word astrum when talking about constellations, or a ‘silver star’ in the poetic sense. When referring to one particular star, they tended to use the word stella, which is the root of our English word stellar. We use that to describe something great, such as a “stellar performance.”

In Latin, the Romans sometimes also used the word lumen for star, referring to a light in the sky. The idea of each person being connected to a star above them comes from that same era, a couple of thousand years ago. The Sun, of course, is a star, and personally I think of the small Orb above my head as being a miniature piece of the Sun. Sol is my star.

The word ‘astrology’ has a meaningful implication for some while it deters others. In the eighteenth century, the German physician Franz Anton Mesmer spoke of the influence of stars and planets on humans. The word ‘influence’ itself, while derived from the Latin influo, came into the English language by way of astrology. It is the name Marsilio Ficino gave to the ‘stellar fluid’ that flows from the stars down to Earth and informs what happens here.

Mesmer – who himself added his name to our vocabulary in the form of ‘mesmerism’ – described ‘animal magnetism,’ like astral influence, as being a fluid permeating the universe, like the nineteenth century Ether, linking everything to everything else, its cosmic flow keeping all in balance.

Some interpret this teaching to mean we are each attached to a different star in the night sky. My understanding is that the Orbs that hover over our heads, visible only to psychic sight, are small ethereal sparks of light that are attached to the star we originally came from, which in turn is a visible manifestation of the Source – God – into the material third dimension. In my own case, that parent star is our Sun, but I realize that not all beings on Earth originated here.

In Timaeus, Plato describes (for the benefit of ancient-day readers) the story of how God generated the souls that would enliven living creatures:
And having made it (a diluted mixture of the universal soul) he divided the whole mixture into souls equal in number to the stars and assigned each soul to a star.

[41d] For the rest, do ye weave together the mortal with the immortal, and thereby fashion and generate living creatures, and give them food that they may grow, and when they waste away receive them to yourselves again.”

“Thus He spake, and once more into the former bowl, wherein He had blended and mixed the Soul of the Universe, He poured the residue of the previous material, mixing it in somewhat the same manner, yet no longer with a uniform and invariable purity, but second and third in degree of purity. And when He had compounded the whole He divided it into souls equal in number to the stars, and each several soul He assigned to one star.[1]”

You will see pictures of ancient Egyptians – Akhenaten in particular – with rays coming down from the Sun and ending in ‘hands’ above the human head. A ray of the Sun cannot be seen as separate from the Sun itself – we each have a ray of the Divine Source within us. We are a part of it, but not apart from it.

Back in the 19th and 20th centuries, the Orders of the Golden Temple in England and Golden Phoenix in Australia declared that every person had a star. The ancient Greeks also spoke about that.
In Timeaus, Plato said, “And when He (God) had compounded the whole
He divided it into souls equal in number to the stars,
and each several soul He assigned to one star.”
As we know, ancient Greek Master Philosophers such as Pythagoras and Plato drew much of their wisdom from Egyptian teachers.

One of the most recently discovered apocryphal gospels is the Gospel of Judas, made public in 2006, in which conversations between Jesus and the Apostle Judas reveal that the latter was highly advanced spiritually and a confidante of his Master. In that Gospel, Jesus says to him, “Lift up your eyes and look at the cloud and the light within it and the stars surrounding it. The star that leads the way is your star.” [57-58] (Judas does as instructed and then enters into the luminous cloud).

In [43] Jesus makes the statement, “Stop struggling with me. Each of you has his own star.” Then, after Judas describes a vision he has had to his Master, he is told, “Your star has led you astray.” [45-46]. You may wonder how your star could lead you astray. Think about the words of Jesus when he taught his disciples how to pray: “Lead us not into temptation.” Why would our Overself lead us astray, or into temptation? Because that is sometimes the only way we can learn the lesson that Life has to teach us. We need to embrace that moment, not resent it.

Imagine every person having a “star” above them to guide them. My own guides tell me there is an Orb above my head, just like the ones you see depicted above the heads of some ancient Egyptians. Everybody uses different terminology, but I call it my Overself – that divine spark that the Egyptians called the Ba (as in Soul), different from our spiritual body-double, or Ka.

The orders of the Golden Temple in England and Golden Phoenix in Australia said that every person had a star.

The ancient Greeks also spoke about that. In Timeaus, Plato said, “And when He (God) had compounded the whole He divided it into souls equal in number to the stars, and each several soul He assigned to one star.”

In the Gospel of Judas, Jesus made such statements as “Each of you has his own star,” and, in one case, “Your star has led you astray.”
