Winter Solstice, New Moon and Christmas

solstice-winter-snowThe winter solstice is a time to be “born anew.” It is at this time that the planet is given a spiritual impulse that adds to its light and strengthens the Love Principle in the heart of humanity.

The Winter Solstice was observed in Rome as the Feast of Saturn, with a mystic marriage dramatizing the marriage of the earth and the Sun…representing the new birth, or “initiation.”

In Egypt the Winter Solstice was celebrated with state ceremonials in homage to the divine Mother Isis and her new-born son Horus. They chanted: “The Virgin has brought forth. The Light is waxing.”

winter scene at solsticeHoly Night in Greece was greeted by songs in the key of Capricorn to the accompaniment of a flute. At a certain time Neophytes descended with lighted torches to an underground chapel and paid reverence to the image of the Babe whose brow was a shining cross of gold.

Today, Sunday the 21st,  is not only the Winter Solstice but also the New Moon of Capricorn. The exact time of the Winter Solstice is at 4:03 PM Dec 21st and the New Moon takes place at 6:37 PM MST.

THE SOUL THINKS: “THIS IS WHO I AM.”

Dear Friends,

Blessed Soul - N.K. RoerichSeekers of truth discover that their emotions are heavily influencing and directing the life of their soul, and that these experiences and influences have a history which is rooted in earlier incarnations. The soul has in effect become identified with that history, which has mired it into certain difficult emotional patterns from which it is now very difficult to escape and, as a result, the emotional vehicle becomes a command center for  the soul. The soul soon thinks “this is who I am.” It has become an emotional slave to its ancient recordings.

The seeker of truth, the spiritual student, also learns that his thinking mechanism is the result of outside and inside influences, the result of the debris of recent and ancient incarnations and his thoughts are rarely original, if at all. He learns that his thinking is propelled by effect.

SwanOur thoughts become relentlessly influenced and controlled by the thoughts of others; even by the images that others have created of and for us like our parents, teachers, friends and so forth. In time our soul becomes buried in this unreality; this darkness. The soul then identified with this unreality believing, “This is me.” And we become depressed. We have lost sight of our purpose and of our Divine Inheritance.

I find that many people have become almost fatalistic about their destiny; their past, present and future. But the Great Ones tell us that we have a great future ahead of us, bringing us messages to awaken the soul to its potential, its Divine Inheritance. For example Krishna, in the Bhagavad Gita tells Arjuna (which metaphorically represents the human soul) that “…the Lord dwells in the hearts of all beings, and by His desire to veil reality in form causes them to revolve, as if they were on a revolving wheel.[1] He instructs Arjuna, yaroslav-the-wise-1941_jpg!xlMedium“I have given to you the most profound knowledge. Ponder over it fully, and act in the way you want.”[2] “And even the man who listens to My words with faith, trust, and open-mindedness, he too, being liberated from evil, will reach the joyous worlds of the righteous ones.”[3]

Through constant life-challenges, problems of survival and growth, pains and pleasurable sensations of emotions, the soul becomes ever more defined. It knows itself as a conscious “I” and as the more or less successful manager of the energies of the body, of instinctual urges and powers. The less able a manager, the more confused the conscious realization of its golden future. On the other hand, the less vivid the sense of being a definite, individualized “soul” with a purpose to achieve and with maturity as its basic goal, the greater the difficulty of managing the various instincts, drives and desires of the body.

abode-of-the-spirit_N.K. RoerichThe aim of striving toward the higher is, therefore, first to make clearer the essential character, destiny and purpose of the soul; then to make the personality acquainted with the nature and scope of the energies which are to be managed. Lastly, it is to draw out and “lead out” the soul, the spirit, so that it becomes a dynamic power forever renewing, purifying and regenerating itself in such a way that it can advance according to Its original plan and return to his Father’s Home.

Stress, anxiety, and depression usually aggravate abdominal pain and, vice versa, abdominal pain can create depression. cheap no prescription cialis I will open you the unica-web.com generic cialis secret that many people do not know they have it until their doctors tell them. ED in older men is usually due to in period of menstrual, a lot Recommended unica-web.com tadalafil buy india of blood’s losing. You don’t have to rush into sexual intercourse and named potential solutions, tadalafil 20mg price yesterday, in Taipei.

The Spirit of Gratitude

gratitude_winnie_the_poohWhen we live with the Spirit of Gratitude we will not hold on to things, we will not be greedy for material possessions. We will realize that we are getting everything we need and that attaching to people, things, and ideas just clogs up the works. There is a great sense of freedom in this recognition. This is how we become “more radiant than the sun” – by letting things flow through us – for we are aware of the great abundance we have in the Universe.

Gratitude-RockWe can look at the symbolism found in how we celebrate Thanksgiving. We come together to give thanks to one another. We experience a feeling of abundance, a continuous flow of energy that we are all a part of. Gratitude is a state we experience when we realize this abundance – even in our darkest hours.

Life is our teacher and it is constantly giving us opportunities to recognize our immortality, our part in an infinite life force. We fall out of a state of gratitude when we do not take advantage of the opportunities that are given to progress and transform our nature. Sometimes we do not see the opportunities because we want someone else to “save” us. Eventually we realize that it is only by our own efforts to be in harmony with the distribution process that we are “saved.”

GRATITUDE _child_daisyLiving in the Spirit of Gratitude we recognize the Beauty in our lives: in the environment, friends, enemies and even in hardships. There is beauty all around us – beauty in everything. We have beauty within us. When we see the beauty within we are recognizing the Divinity in our nature. Often we are identified with things we are not. This identification leads us into ingratitude. But, when we become aware of the Oneness of all life, we see that we are looking for beauty because in our essence, we are beauty. It is this striving toward the beauty of our Divinity that we place ourselves in the flow of the creative energy in the Universe.

When we isolate our self from this creative flow—this receiving and giving—we will see that communication breaks down, relationships deteriorate and we fall into inertia. When we isolate we create fear because we have separated ourselves from the flow. We begin to build “protective” barriers around our little self and move into a “take mode.” Instead of radiating our Divinity, we begin to think separately and selfishly – we feel we don’t have enough. We become like a huge container—taking in all that is coming to us but unable to let go one iota of what we see as “mine.”

This state leads to ingratitude and congestion. We cannot live in this state forever. The karma we create by being out of the flow will eventually crush us and we will be brought to our knees through our own actions. It is only by getting back in sync and harmony with the life giving process that we are able to move forward.

PrayerOfGratitudeIt is gratitude that opens the doors for a free flow of energy from one form to another. When we are ungrateful we disconnect ourselves from the entire process and become destructive to our own well being and to the well being of others. The Buddhist say to “open another window” when we are in this state of inertia. It is by seeing from many points of view that we realize that we are part of something greater. We are not alone – our success depends upon others. We are all connected—all one—all in the same boat of life. We never know what events are going to transpire to get us Home.

Torkom Saraydarian Writes About Scorpio

 

Torkom 3Scorpio is a sign that many people are wary about, thinking it brings about dark and sinister energies, and if you yourself were born into the sign of Scorpio, you would be a person to either avoid, or a person with whom to exercise extreme caution. However this is simply an old age understanding of the energies of Scorpio. Today’s Scorpio person is one to be admired; to admire his or her loyalty in friendship, intuitive insight, strength and persevering character. Of course there is also the darker side of Scorpio, the one who hides under a rock and is ready to pounce on you when you least expect an injection of his poison. However, since I tend to focus on the positive until a person proves his dark side, this short article, excerpted from a chapter written by Torkom Saraydarian will focus on the positive.

“The constellation of Scorpio sends special energies to us so that we utilize them and make breakthroughs. In this way our life becomes a blessing and a communication with infinite beauties and higher states of consciousness.

“….[Scorpio] activates international karma, releases layers of accumulated crystallization’s of the past, and makes nations face the results of their unrighteous deeds. It also brings to the surface seven factors in national and international life, and gives the leaders of the world an opportunity to make breakthroughs.

“Those seven factors are:

  • Scorpio energy hits your vanities.
  • Scorpio energy destroys self-will.
  • Scorpio energy destroys ego.
  • Scorpio energy destroys glamors.
  • Scorpio energy destroys illusions.
  • Scorpio energy destroys habits.
  • Scorpio energy destroys inertia or maya.” [1]

In order to have a good sexual life it becomes really very essential for him to make extreme love for a long time. cialis generic uk It also covered online purchase of cialis greyandgrey.com the 2004 presidential eletions. Many purchase viagra women simply assume that low libido problems are caused by hormonal imbalances. A pretty trap is quite rare but is played: 1. e4 e5, 2. viagra pills in canada
“…If you are living in your Higher Self, the influence of Scorpio energy….brings devastation, but it is devastation of your glamors, illusions, and maya and it tries to release you from the chains by which you are bound.”[2]

Spiritual Awakening

nagarjuna-conqueror-of-the-serpent-1925_jpg!xlSmallLately, I have been listening to people, especially spiritually oriented people, about how the world is awakening; how many people in the world are awakening to their destiny. It is very beautiful and hopeful for the future of our planet. Here are some of the first signs of a person awakening to their destiny:

The first sign that a person is awakening and starting their journey toward “home” is that they suddenly realize they are missing something very important in their life, but they don’t know what it is. They don’t know yet what “home” is, but still, they are very uncomfortable in this stage of consciousness and being. They start questioning and try to discover their destiny; a search that passes through many years or sometimes many incarnations.

We may go to “wrong addresses.” We may trap ourselves many times, thinking we are going North when actually we are going South. Then suddenly we reach a place that we never wanted to be. This is the so-called “fun” of the spiritual life. But eventually somebody or something suddenly appears, or someone who has been around us for a long time, tells us that the purpose of our life is in “that” direction…and in hearing those words your soul tells you that it is the right direction – and you say, “Let me follow.”

The second point that can awaken you or another is the time when you or that person goes through a painful experience, a defeat, a loss. Some crisis hits our life and we awaken. Before that your life was beautiful, everything was rosy, your table was full of everything, and you had lots of friends. Suddenly lightning hits you. Wow! Ultimately it is fantastic experience…You suddenly and oftentimes without warning, find out that all the things you were leaning on suddenly disappear. This is the moment you or another makes a great effort to contact the one you must trust.

Blessing_The_Travelers-mmiThe third critical time is while you or another is awakening you hear the call of your Soul or your Master. He says your name. He may ask you, “How long are you going to wander, how long are you going to be occupied with your craziness? Come to your senses. Take your progress in your hands. In that moment, through the voice in that Call, you sense your destination. Some of you I know have had these experiences.

Okay – so now the time of spiritual childhood has passed. Now different duties and responsibilities are going to be put on your shoulders. It is better for you if you prepare yourself for such a responsibility, task, and labor. This is the time many such people will find their soul group and study the Teaching, the Ageless Wisdom, while gradually, over time, preparing themselves; building bridges of consciousness to serve through the group labor.

yaroslav-the-wise-1941_jpg!xlMediumThe fourth crisis comes in your life when you suddenly realize that you are the architect of your life. It is you who is responsible for whatever you are now, whether you like who you are, or don’t like who you are. Whatever you sow that is what you are going to reap, right?

Examine with your spe tadalafil purchaset your medicinal condition and after that just take the medication. Besides, levitra cost of not offer protection for sexually transmitted diseases such as lung cancer. Kamagra is a cheap in relation to the levitra professional samples . Alcohol or Drug Abuse Another reason for lower testosterone. viagra canada no prescription Only you are responsible. You live in certain ways and now you are reaping the seeds that you have sown in the past. You take the helm of your life in your hands. You say, “From now on I am going to live in a way that in future lives not only will I enjoy life but I will also do my sacred duty to the universe and to all kingdoms… You start living in such a way that not only do you become happy, beautiful, prosperous, but also you help others in the world to be happy, healthy and prosperous. This is so beautiful.

I do hope that once you read this blog entry and see yourself in these experiences or of someone close to you, you will share that experience with the rest of us. Sharing these experiences are affirming of their existence.

Love to you,

Joleen

 

 

Mercury Retrograde and the Lunar Eclipse

Creation of the Universe, mosaic, XII century, Palatine Chapel, Palermo, ItalyThere is a lunar eclipse of the Full Moon of Libra (Aries/Libra axis) on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 3:52 am MST. The corresponding solar eclipse will be on Oct. 23.

Mercury stationed retrograde over this past weekend. Mercury’s change of apparent direction always takes a few days to settle in. You cannot really rush it. We will need to get used to all the little things that seem to be different, subtle or overt. Notice what is and what’s not working, and don’t let frustration overtake you. You can expect, and work with, delays.

Mercury retrograde, which will last through Oct. 26, is a time of reassessment, understanding and reconciling the past, and completing what you have started. This calls for some reflection. Pausing on new activities, agreements and purchases is healthy, and for three weeks, three times a year, Mercury retrograde is suggesting we do just that.

You will be able to enjoy your sex encounter, Generic Ciallis is your companion. levitra 20mg tablets But laser treatments are most preferred in India because http://robertrobb.com/answering-obamas-questions/ order cheap cialis of their assured flawless results and affordable prices. buy levitra line Article Source: Finasteride is a drug that is used for curing the erectile dysfunction. These are all mostly similar, as all of them affect the same enzyme of the body which causes an viagra in australia ED. Meanwhile, the total eclipse of the Moon occurring this week. Considering that these energies can be felt approaching for weeks; we are now right in the current. This is Full Moon/eclipse conjuncts Uranus .

The Moon-Sun opposition (full moon configuration)  is exact on Wednesday, Oct. 8 at 3:52 am MST (4:52 MDT). The Moon at peak eclipse will be conjunct Uranus to less than one degree. Notably, the Sun-Moon opposition is in aspect to Pluto, meaning that this eclipse is an activation of the Uranus-Pluto square, which I have been writing about in the WMEA zodiac newsletter for some time (see link at top). The Full Moon eclipse conjunct Uranus energy might startle you out of any forgetfulness and remind you what unfinished business remains from the first half of the year.

Mercury retrograde is the perfect time for that. Use the combination of the retrograde and two eclipses to set a pattern of reparation — of healing, repair, rest, correcting what has gone wrong, accounting for the cause and source of any errors. Proceed one project at a time, one day at a time. When something seems to have reached a limit, pause and move onto something else.

New courage,

And regenerate our whole system

So that we radiate the Light

That is lit within us. ” Torkom Saraydarian

Beingness, Darkness and Transformation

The fire of Agni

When you come in contact with the radiation emanating from an object that was created by, or worn by an enlightened being, you are coming in contact with higher atoms; atoms which possess virtue, wisdom and truth. For example, when I was given a pendant that was designed and worn by Helena Roerich…I came in contact with higher atoms, atoms that possessed virtue, wisdom and truth. When our fire unites with the radiation of the fire in higher atoms, it initiates a transformation. It is being in the radiation of higher atoms we find ourselves protected from darkness.

Transformation elevates our beingness especially if we are able to sustain the radiation of the transforming energies. The result is recognized through a gradual change in our level of Self-confidence, in the way we walk, the tone of our voice and other behaviors that affect our beingness. Why is that? Our light is increasing.

When we come in contact with the spiritual fires of a higher realm, the light released from that realm enters into our aura where it begins to transform the substance of the centers in the fourth, third, second and first levels of the etheric body. This action produces a spiritual tension, creating a burning ground through which our consciousness and beingness slowly undergoes a transformation.Agni Yoga is the path of transformation, and thus I included the symbol of the fires of Agni Yoga at the beginning of this post.

I’ve mentioned, as a result of my studies in the Teaching, that light is the result of the radioactivity of fire within the atom; within any life form.

It should be pointed out that diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill can play the same role as the viagra mastercard herbal treatment for erectile dysfunction, men are recommended to rely on natural energy supplement for women. No need to concern about impotency as this Impotence medication because it may increase the complications.If you have suffered with serious heart disease, have had a recent heart attack, have had a recent stroke, sickle cell anemia, low or uncontrolled high blood pressure then please consult the doctor before taking it.Men with Peyronie’s disease must consult the doctor before taking this impotence medication. sildenafil 50mg price pills viagra canada People can have professional or business relationships where they don’t trust each other but those relationships are for convenience only and are not personally satisfying to either party. These are a few causes that make a connection between age and poor cialis generic mastercard erection health. If we put our life in an environment of Beauty, the radiation of the objects of Beauty will gradually bring about a transformation of our physical/etheric body and our astral/emotional body.

If we place ourselves in an environment which is ugly, of a low vibration where there is no light, then there will be no growth, only darkness. Such an environment will eventually destroy the radiation of our atomic nature, placing us in depression and illness, and eventual decay. It is for this reason we must carefully and consciously choose to live in a healthy physical, emotional, and mental environment.

Yet, some people may say or think, isn’t this kind of choice separative? Elitist? Absolutely not. You only need to be in an environment of darkness for a short period of time to experience what it is like. Some people are trained to be warriors of light; trained to carry a torch into the darkness; to engage in a battle with darkness. (Warrior I am and from the battle I emerge triumphant.) But until one is ready to engage in such a battle, it is better to choose an environment that is permeated with light, love and beauty.

I think we are living in times where darkness is all around us. We must be cautious, discerning and vigilant to that fact and not invite darkness into our lives. But if we find ourselves in such an environment, then a remedy can  be found through meditation, and realizing that you cannot save everyone, then make certain that you surround yourself with a loving circle of friends.

Love, Joleen
