“STRENGTHENING THE HANDS OF THE NEW GROUP OF WORLD SERVERS”
Meditation is the primary form of service for those following a spiritual path. It is a means of cooperation and alignment with hierarchical intent. The new moon period follows upon the cycle of outbreathing in the rhythmic cycles of the breath; it is a time of pause wherein together we can establish a soul-mind-brain alignment. During this period we work in thought to concretize the ideas and impressions received at the time of the full moon period and undertake the sometimes difficult process of translating them into practical plans that can be of service in the world. The effect of this meditative effort is to enhance the many ways in which the “power of the one Life” and the “love of the one soul” are working out through all true servers everywhere.
The meeting, which will be broadcast on ZOOM will include an exploration on the theme Local, Global & Universal: Reflections on the Soul of the Nations in the Light of Leo and the Crisis of Pandemic, followed by group discussion and meditation.
Theme:
Local, Global & Universal: Reflections on the Soul of the Nations in the Light of Leo and the Crisis of Pandemic.
The tension between the two poles of Self, reflected in the Leo-Aquarius interplay, is a central theme in the transition into Aquarius. This period of two Leo full moons naturally draws attention to the relationship between the Universal Self and the separated self.
During the new moon meeting we will explore some of the ways in which the Leo-Aquarius dynamic is playing out in world affairs – particularly in the relationship between the soul and personality of nations as this is reflected in emerging local, national, and global identities. Central to our reflections will be consideration of the role that freedom plays in this relationship.
As a way of anchoring our observation of the possibilities of a positive path forward in the transformation of S/self-identity we will consider the recently concluded High Level Political Forum at the United Nations, taking note, in line with last month’s new moon focus on World Unity, of any signs of a pan-human identity emerging in world affairs and within nations.
Questions for reflection and discussion:
- How do we understand the thought-form that is under construction at events like the High-Level Forum? What ideas carrying the energy of the Plan are impacting nations and peoples?
- Name one way in which the sense of Self has been empowered during the Pandemic.
- Name some characteristics of the soul of a nation that you identify with.
