New Moon Meeting (NEW YORK)

“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 out-breathing 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.  Please call or email us if you will be attending, or contribute your thoughts prior to the meeting we will share them with the group when possible.

Finding True North
New Moon in September

In this time of deep summer, it’s easy to connect to the invisible rhythms of the planet. There’s a heartbeat in the wave-like hum of Cicadas on a summer night – and the arrival of early morning light connects us to a heightened rhythm of daily motion. In the Southern Hemisphere the long nights and shorter days establish a different rhythm – one of silence, embracing a warm fire and going within.

Wherever we are, something bigger than ourselves is always at work, gently touching and refining our internal inclinations. Through magnetic interplay, we can sense a shift in the currents of our surrounding environments - much like migrating birds sense the shifting direction of True North. It is this magnetic field that binds us to every other living creature on earth.

As an earth sign, Virgo is deeply associated with this field, this intersect of visible substance with invisible force.

Virgo is the Mother and the Child – “I God, I matter am.” The creator and the created. In essence, this sign is one of deep synthesis, linking a higher, non-material element to its material manifestation, pointing us unerringly toward the True North of human consciousness.

Questions for reflection and discussion:
  • In the Agni Yoga books, Virgo is seen as embodying the relationship between matter and spirit. Matter is not viewed as inferior to spirit, but as a necessary vehicle for the evolution of consciousness. Where does the human being fit into this equation?
  • The energy of Virgo is often linked with preparation and purification which can involve both inner and outer work. What do you perceive this “work” to be?
  • Virgo’s role in the evolution of humanity as a whole could be said to be as a focalizing energy which helps us draw down and anchor spiritual energy into the physical world. From a personal perspective, how do you see using this energy in our everyday lives?
