EASTER FESTIVAL: ARIES
|
2024 meetings: Sunday 24 March, |
The time of Easter is imbued with the initiating energy of Will powerfully flowing through the sign of Aries and bringing the spirit of Renewal into our lives. The Christ was first to anchor the divine principle of Love, an alchemical process that continues to impact the hearts and minds of people of all faiths and cultures and is leading humanity into an age characterised by Love. Esoterically, this time is known as the Festival of the Risen, Living Christ, and we meditate on its principle of resurrection into greater Life. “Christ in us, the hope of glory” becomes a touchstone of our deep reflections. Gradually, through such systematic and rhythmic efforts, the individual escapes the confines of the lower self, and is reborn to the inspirational life of the soul. As with all Enlightened and liberated beings, the personality’s subjective crucifixion and death leads to the renewal of consciousness and a life of spiritual purpose and expression. Today we search for Truth by an intelligent approach to the world we live in, but there is also a danger in an overly mental and analytical approach which distorts the true nature of “themind that is in Christ”. The mind is the great revealer of truth but until it is calm and reflective, it remains “the slayer of the real”. It stands in stark contrast to the simplicity of Christ’s message of Love. When this healing remedy is used, heart and mind are lifted into something so spiritually majestic that all lower concerns and distractions bow before it. It allows entry into a stream of liberating energy where we can stand united with all who Love and become attuned to the power that makes all things new. |
