On the Third Day He Arose From the Dead
Easter Festival: Sun in Aries
Love is the cause of all creation and sustaining factor in all living.
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 characterized 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.
Prayer to Archangel Michael
As we pass through the fasting and sacrifices of the Lenten season into the renewal of life, we stop and consider how thankful we all are that we are alive and able to celebrate this sacred season. Many were not so lucky and I have been very busy making sure that their souls do not dwell as shadows on the earth and that we pray to Archangel Michael who promised to deliver all souls into the Etheric Plane - the prayer was taken out of the Mass in the Catholic church and this is too bad as every time we invoked this prayer, we were insured that Archangel Michael would deliver the souls. As so many souls have left the earth around the world in the past month, it is important that they are delivered to the Etheric Plane.
Here is the prayer and I would encourage anyone who reads this to begin to pray for all those who will still be leaving the planet during this pandemic.
'Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us
in battle.
Be our protection
against the wickedness
and snares of the devil;
May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray;
And do thou, O Prince of
the Heavenly Host, by the
power of God, thrust into
hell Satan and all evil
spirits who wander through
the world for the ruin of souls.
AMEN
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 "the mind 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 Chris'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. Its 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.When we say "Christ gave His life for us" we are correct; because not only did he not have to return to earth and give His life for our purification; He also showed us the Way, the Truth and the Life of the Spiritual Being Who He was. It was His example in that He was the way shower. From His birth in a humble stable, to His journey to the East with His parents, to His entering the temple at the age of twelve to teach the Rabbis, to His gathering his Apostles and Disciples who would be taught the inner mysteries through the parables that He left for them and us to contemplate and meditate upon. But beyond all of these examples, it was His ability to show us the Path to Ascension through the raising of the Kundalini energy at the base of the spine and allow us to participate with Him on His powerful journey into liberation. From Holy Thursday onward, He allowed us to see His celebration with those He loved, the Twelve apostles at the Last Supper. His excruciating night in the Garden of Gethsemane where Archangel Uriel came to comfort Him while His Apostles slept. We saw His betrayer in Judas who for Thirty pieces of silver gave Christ over to His oppressors, who Crucified Him and jeered at Him while nailing his hands and feet to the Cross. Good Friday was a day of Judgement, as His followers followed Him along the via de la Rosa, His three falls while carrying His cross to Golgotha, Veronica wipes the "Face of Jesus," and the soldiers after nailing Him to the Cross pierce his Side with a spear.
Now Jesus is taken to a tomb and here He leaves His body and descends into hell, and then Resurrects Himself and walks among His apostles once again. Finally after forty days He Ascends into Heaven. These last three days are crucial to our understanding of what He gave to us. He showed us that we had to go through a cleansing and releasing of karma, He showed us that although the physical vehicle is crucified, the spirit continues and while most of us will have to return again and again on the Wheel of Karma, He showed us that there is a greater path that leads to liberation and eternal life. This is what Easter is all about, His final lesson and his final words were :
"On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in Me, and I am in you. Whoever has My commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves Me. He who loves Me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show Myself to him."
Peace Be With You!
