Moon - by Roerich

The Sun Festivals, also called full moon cycles, mark certain rhythmic cycles during which we can become impressed by higher energies. These impressions upon our brain and aura will either inspire us, or evoke many physical, emotional, and mental problems and chaos within our life.

Many, including myself believe that there is an interactive experience between humanity and its higher octave, the higher octave understood as God, the Great One of the Galaxy, the Solar Logos; all Lights of humanity. This interactive experience takes place during the times of each full moon, the celestial cycles where the Sun is in one sign, and the moon is in its opposite sign. This month we are experiencing the interactive energies of Taurus. Where the Sun is in Taurus and the Moon is in Scorpio.

Messages from Shambhala - RoerichThe Wesak Festival is named after the Wesak Valley in the Tibetan Himalayas, where the Masters Who guide Humanity gather at this time. The Festival celebrates the annual descent of the Buddha to Earth. The Buddha embodies the quality of Wisdom. He comes to bring us his blessings and to remind us of our purpose.

During each cycle of every full moon there is a moment of contact. The moment of contact occurs at the exact time of each full moon. This year 2015, the Wesak moment of contact (full moon of Taurus) occurs on May 03.

abode-of-the-spirit_N.K. RoerichThree days prior to the moment of contact are the days that many spiritual students around the world concentrate upon right living, purification, and transformation. They begin to ready themselves by observing elements in their nature that need to be transformed such as destructive habits or habits that they believe have limited their spiritual progress. Once observed, the student begins to create methods to either eliminate the destructive habits, or establish goals to bring about a transformation and establish the next step toward freedom: freedom from maya, glamor, and illusion. Most students initiate certain objective and subjective spiritual disciplines, which begin with the Aries full moon and continue through to the next full moon, the full moon of Gemini.

It is a time of solemnity and spiritual honesty.

It is on the day of contact students can strive to make a conscious contact with their Teacher.

M. M.We are told that at the exact moment of the full moon, the disciple’s Master will focus his eyes upon the striving one. The penetration of the Master’s gaze will either immediately or gradually be felt, where the disciple will feel the energies penetrating into his aura, causing a moment of supreme illumination. Illumination of one’s consciousness is a moment where the light generated from the radiating fires, found within higher atoms, will be released into the disciple’s aura. This is a moment of contact where the Master may, for a moment, illumine the striving one with His spiritual fire. If this occurs, he will feel like a part of him has been twice born.

The three days following the day of contact and the actual day of Wesak can be used to give love, beauty and compassion to your family, your immediate group, and to the world group. Send your love and compassion to the Hierarchy, to your Teachers, to the New Group of World Servers, and to humanity.

Blessed Soul - N.K. RoerichThe Master says: “Trace how the word Shambhala is uttered in the East. Try to penetrate, even in a small way, into the ideology of this concept. Try to understand the rhythm of structure of speech about Shambhala, and you will perceive a great reality which causes the harp-strings of humanity to vibrate. Let reason help you to ponder on the values accumulated by the best strivings.…”[1]

Last month the WMEA zodiac newsletter concluded with this statement: “Never miss the full moons, especially Wesak, the next full moon. A cosmic shock will come into you. Maybe you won’t know it for seven months, or seven years. But a moment will come to you when something penetrates into your consciousness and cleans it. Understand that that light, when it is put into you, needs time to clean your aura until it touches your sensitive nervous system. Then, you’ve got it!

Service and Labor – the path of Illumination

When you are serving, you have worth.

The first principle is labor without limit.

The second principle of labor is acceptance of tasks without rejection.

Torkom 3A great spiritual teacher shared a story. He said there was a young man that was working in his office. The young man was telling others, “I worked all day. The teacher did not even say thank you. You know, three years I was there. He did not give me one gift.” Can you understand that? All my labor is wasted.” The teacher said, “Really? How pitiful you are to go through this trash in your mind, or engage yourself in a labor and two days later escape! How pitiful. What are you doing? You are really demonstrating where you are, and the Universe is not going to trust you with higher labors. You are not trustworthy. You cannot do it.” He was a no-nonsense Teacher who labored until the last month of his life.

These are two things that are very important to know – labor without limit and acceptance of tasks without rejection; without negative emotions, complaints, gossip, and so on.

If the person leaves and cannot finish it, do it yourself. These are the principles that we are going to digest in our consciousness if we are going to really understand what the labor is.

Blessed Soul - N.K. RoerichA modern Master described how the Buddha had encouraged his monks by sharing that those who practiced diligently would surely be enlightened in seven days or, if not in seven days, then in seven months or seven years. A young American monk heard this and asked if it was still true. The master promised that if the young monk was continuously mindful without break for only seven days, he would be enlightened.

Excitedly the young monk started his seven days, only to be lost in forgetfulness ten minutes later. Coming back to himself, he again started his seven days, only to become lost once more in mindless thought – perhaps about what he would do after his enlightenment. Again and again he began his seven days, and again and again he lost his continuity of mindfulness. A week later, he was not enlightened but he had become very much aware of his habitual fantasies and wandering of mind – a most instructive way to begin his practice on the Path to real awakening.

Gandhi 02I have only three enemies. My favorite enemy, the one most easily influenced for the better, is the British Empire. My second enemy, the Indian people, is far more difficult. But my most formidable opponent is a man named Mohandas K. Gandhi. With him I seem to have very little influence.” (by Mahatma Gandhi)

I truly believe that to become a true server; an Agni Yogi, is found in one who lives these two principles given to us by the Great Sage Master M.

Due to this beneficial scheme people can save thousands of dollars on tadalafil in canada wasted medical bills, they can now hope to lead a healthy life. pfizer viagra achat Other than oral psychological treatments, an external device can be used to get instant erection. You can buy gold max pink for women has also earned downtownsault.org generic cialis samples good name. Even better, majority of cipla india viagra these drugs are considered safe because the ingredients are always natural substances diluted many times over. The second principle of labor is acceptance of tasks without rejection. If you want to serve the Master, if you want to serve your family, if you want to serve Hierarchy, you are going to be tested in this principle…the acceptance of tasks without rejection. It starts with the little tasks and graduates to Life Tasks. The first principle of labor is labor without limit.

To labor without limit – to be mindful every single minute of your day of service – is your spiritual practice – the Path to real awakening.

American Indian 02Let me share one more story – this is a story by Desert Fathers: “Amma Syncletica said: In the beginning, there is struggle and a lot of work for those who come near to God. But after that, there is indescribable joy. It is just like building a fire; at first it’s smoky and your eyes water, but later you get the desired result. Thus we ought to light the divine fire in ourselves with tears and effort.”

You can find many parables and many examples by holy ones; and by modern day Teachers who try to teach us the value of labor. And once we understand the value of labor we understand that all our labor, all our sweat and tears, all of our sacrifices – are not done for ourselves – but in service to the Lord.

If when you engage in easy or difficult labors you are thinking what kind of gifts of gratitude you are going to receive – you are lost.

Blessing_The_Travelers-mmiWhen I was growing up and investing myself in all those many hours of labor – no one told me how special or unique I was – it was expected of me. And because it was expected of me – such endless labor taught me about the Path to illumination – that the Path to Illumination is an endless Path.. The Path to illumination bypasses the Path to Egotism. It saves you from many incarnations of suffering.

I would love to hear what you have learned from the value of labor.

With love,

Full Moon of Aries and Easter

Aries-mosaic 2

Dear Friends,

Today. Saturday, we are celebrating the energies of the full Moon of Aries, which occurred at 5:07 AM, Mountain Time, but we are still well within the time frame of it’s powerful influences.

We are also celebrating Easter tomorrow, Sunday. Easter is always established by the date of the full moon of Aries.

Easter Sunday is always established as the first Sunday following the full moon after the Vernal Equinox which was on the 20th of March this year. I would venture a guess and say that the majority of Christians who celebrate Easter are not aware that it is determined by the sun’s passage through the Zodiac.

When we celebrate the Aries full moon, along with Easter, the combination of both Easter and the full moon of Aries provides us with a double opportunity to strive toward perfection, regeneration and resurrection.

Blessing_The_Travelers-mmiWe know that we not yet perfect, but most of us here at some point in the life of the soul made a decision to travel the path of initiation – which is the path of progressive and expanded consciousness; a most difficult but spiritually rewarding experience for the soul; rewarding, because it places us on the lighting speed evolutionary path, giving our soul an opportunity to better serve our family, group, nation and humanity. It also reduces the number of superfluous incarnations which most experience and thus makes each life as you are living 3 -4 life times at once. In order to do this, we need to strive; to surpass our present level of achievement from year to year, from one life to the next.

Disciples on this path are those who will make use of these energies as a means to graduate to the next and the next levels of consciousness until it puts them in conscious contact with their Solar Angel, the Spiritual Triad, their Ashram and Master and different stations of the Cosmic Magnet. With each progressive stage the disciple-initiate will be able to surpass his or her present level of consciousness and penetrate into the deeper mysteries of Life.

Life is given to us so that we can strive toward perfection. Imagine knowing that! This is what life is about.

Sunrise MeditationWe can look at ourselves today and ask “Where do I need to strive: Physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually?” What is the most essential at this time in my life by which to strive. How can I find the most essential and strive in the boat of the most essential order to make myself more beautiful; physically beautiful? Emotionally beautiful? Mentally beautiful?

Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction The treatment option order cialis raindogscine.com would be effective to the same extent for everyone. When taken during viagra pfizer cialis sexual stimulation, kamagra promotes the sexual wish in the women. This viagra cialis prix pill consists of Sildenafil citrate since the active component. Satisfaction is paramount cialis without prescription when it comes to a physical relationship. Perhaps you will decide to strive to make your emotions clean and shining with pure feelings. Mentally you all want to be filled with illumination. Spiritually we want to be fiery – filled with spirit.

To be fiery means that you are no longer are controlled by the lower nature. It means you are functioning in the Higher Mind. It means that you are striving to fuse the unfolding human soul with the fiery Chalice and release yourselves from the mistakes of lifetimes that your personality nature; the elementals of the personality convinced you to make.

Creation of the Universe, mosaic, XII century, Palatine Chapel, Palermo, ItalyThat you have moved from the clockwise wheel to the counter clockwise wheel of the Zodiac and are now carefully, and with spiritual discipline, welcoming the opportunity to pay off your ancient debts in order to be of greater service to Hierarchy and the Plan for Humanity is so very beautiful.

This decision to strive to function only in the light of the Higher Mind means that we must make the most of our time here on earth. That, in our decisions and through discernment, we are no longer going to allow ourselves to be subjected to the imposing wills of those around us. . Nor should we allow others to use us for their own advantage. It wastes our time as we are striving to live the most essential.

You must learn or further perfect your ability to be spiritually and esoterically discriminating. Discriminating so you can examine your inner and higher wills in such a way that you can spiritually advance. This is, actually, a very advanced stage of consciousness. With observation and spiritual discernment you soon learn how to detach from these inner and outer influences; the ancient past of the personality life.

Blessed Soul - N.K. RoerichSpiritual striving during each full moon, especially the three high spiritual festivals of Aries, Taurus and Gemini we learn how to be obedient to our Higher Self, the Teacher and the Master. It is through this obedience our lives become more fulfilling and free.

Love,

Joleen
