Gemini Solar Festival: World Invocation United States May 26, 2010 Eastern, Central Mountain, Pacific Greenwich Mean Time 6:08 - 5:08 - 4:08 - 3:08 PM 11:08 PM
Keynote I recognise my other self and in the waning of that self, I grow and glow. Three journeys in the Path of Light audio program assist in building the alignment needed for this work. Path of Light I, Session 9: Spiritual Forces: Receiving from the Master's aura and distributing this light to others. Path of Light II, Session 2: Using Spiritual Influence for Others. Encourages creative spiritual work in the world. Path of Light IV, Session 7: Lifting your group members, family, and friends using the spiritual energy of love.
For the five days of the full moon of Gemini (2 days before, the day of, and 2 days after) we join our minds in the light of the group of those who are meditating. Our role is to gather and then distribute this channel of spiritual energy and distribute it to the five planetary centers of New York, Tokyo, London, Geneva, and Darjeeling. The following meditation is an opportunity to invoke assistance from the Shining Teachers who guide Humanity. Each month groups of souls worldwide build a channel of light and love to aid humanity.
Link with the group who is making a higher contact at this time for the purpose of sending light to humanity. Pour yourself out in love to all the group, realizing yourself as part of the whole. Feel the united focused spirit of this meditation. Having linked up with your group members raise your consciousness as high as possible. Hold your mind unwaveringly "in the light," and let the brain consciousness drop below the level of consciousness. Visualize the Masters standing steady pouring out upon humanity Their love and strength as they endeavor to lift the group into a higher state of consciousness. Hold your mind positive and attentive and connected with the spiritual group. This approach is only possible with a united group effort. Visualize for ten minutes a world in which an energy of goodwill is spreading through the world, people cooperating out of goodwill, and working together to build a finer civilization. As you say the Great Invocation, visualize an emerging unity between nations and people. Powerful energies are released within the human consciousness as many voices sound this prayer. This way the divine Plan for Humanity is more accessible; right human relationships begin to form. Distribute the light of this vast group out to five key planetary centers---New York, London, Tokyo, Geneva, and Darjeeling. Sound aloud the Great Invocation THE GREAT INVOCATION (Adapted) From the point of light within the mind of God, let light stream forth into our minds. Let light descend on Earth. From the point of love within the heart of God, let love stream forth into our hearts, May the coming One return to Earth. From the center where the will of God is known let purpose guide our little human wills, the purpose which the Masters know and serve. From the center called the human race, let the Plan of Love and of Light work out, and seal the door where evil dwells. Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. OM OM OM The Gemini solar (full moon) festival is the time of highest spiritual inspiration when the forces of enlightenment and reconstruction are let loose upon our planet, and impact directly all those individuals who are receptive to them. This is known as the World Invocation Day and also the Festival of Humanity. The focus is on humanity aspiring toward God or good, and seeking to align with the will of God or good. It is also on seeing humanity dedicated to right human relationships and recognizing its true spiritual nature. In the Gemini energies of the twins, the emerging unity between the eastern and western is symbolized for us. (Castor is the mortal human twin, and Pollox is immortal brother. This Gemini symbol stands for the importance of this unity. Mercury rules Gemini, and Mercury is known as the messenger of Gods for his mental agility, speed, rapidity of thought, constant and ceaseless movement. This energy helps us to handle the many conflicting forces that play upon our lives. Gemini provides the energy that can bring about a new state of balance between opposites. As we bring our personality under control of the soul, we transform our lives from being scattered into being a useful and vital server. In Gemini we can take a new step in rising above the oscillation between identifying as the soul and identifying as the personality. This is a major transition and worthy of our focused attention and observation throughout the solar energies in Gemini. It takes conscious will to change the course of our evolution. We have been encased in material form for a long time. By focusing on bringing the soul and spiritual presence into each situation and each thought, we can create major changes in our consciousness. As our soul gains more influence in our lives, we temporarily may experience greater conflict than before. We feel the pull of the soul and its inclusive love, and we feel the pull of our personality and its non-inclusive love. The key is to look straight ahead and avoid the peaks and the valleys that once distracted us. We thus establish a stable even temperament so that the spiritual forces can transform our lives and release us from tossing back and forth between the opposites in life.
Under the influence of the soul, a higher receptivity to the soul's energies begins to unfold. We begin to sense the reality of the higher self. Our contact with the soul creates an intense desire to learn and study along metaphysical lines. This spiritual contact also leads us to a new sense of direction in our personal lives. Divine will begins to influence us. We feel determined to love more deeply, and to dedicate our love to service rather than to personal concerns. We merge and blend our personalities with the universal. The sense of separation that characterized our lives begins to dissolve. Sometimes we experience the feeling of fullness, expansion, oneness and universal love. Such experience comes to us when the warring forces of the personality are temporary evaded and we stand inwardly free. Then the creative energies of the soul are given spontaneous expression and we live our lives in service to others. It is as if for a brief period of time, the clouds that hid a clear contact are gone, and we stand unshielded before the light and power of the soul.
The familiar sense of duality gives place to the experience of unity and a conscious merging between the pairs of opposites. We realize we are moving forward. We understand that the way is long, yet it is marked at each stage by an expanded ability to serve. We realize the dominance of the soul aspect and allow the personality to take a back seat. And we rejoice! Adapted from Esoteric Astrology by A.A.Bailey
Sounding the Great Invocation at the moment of the full moon adds to the power of the simultaneous invocations around the world. |
