Spiritual Importance of Meditation On the Full Moon

The time of the full moon is a period when spiritual energies are uniquely available and facilitate a closer rapport between humanity and the Hierarchy. Each month the inflowing energies carry the specific qualities of the constellation influencing the particular month; these energies playing sequentially upon humanity, establish the "divine attributes" in the consciousness of humanity.

"The technique of meditation governs all expansions of consciousness... By means of meditation we find freedom from the delusion of the senses and their vibratory lurE; and find our own positive centre of energy and become consciously able to use it; becoming therefore aware of the real Self... and aware of essential unity." The Tibetan

Begin by focusing on the breath. This is maintained throughout the meditation. Then visualize the following: Light entering the physical/etheric body, dissolving all tension and filling it with light.

Light entering the emotional body dissolving all trauma and filling it with light.

Light entering the mental body unravelling old thought forms and filling it with light.

A ball of light above the Hierarchy which you focus on as the Will of God or Shamballa.

Return to the soul and see the light of the soul descending through the charkas and anchoring at the centre of the Earth.

See the light rise to the heart centre, form a ball of pink light of loving kindness, and then move out to link all the hearts in the group in this light.

See the Earth at the centre of the circle and see each person or aspect of Earth life that appears in your mind to be touched by loving kindness.

1. Sit quietly with your mind receptive, and open to receive spiritual energies. Do all that you can to meditate at exactly the time of the full moon. Afterward, continue in stillness for perhaps 20 minutes.

2. Make notations on thoughts or ideas that come to you. These can appear as knowledge, wisdom, understanding, or inspiration. Even if you think nothing happened, you may find that in a few days new ideas will appear to you. Assume that some kind of impression has been received in your higher mind and it is circling overhead waiting for a place to land.

3. Develop the ability to listen within as you go about your daily schedule. This is a similar process to remembering an important dream. The frequencies of dream realities are different than the rational concrete mind. This transference process requires stillness and patience, along with an optimistic attitude. Once your conscious brain can align with the higher mind and soul, the stream of light can reach you as words and picture symbols.

4. Following each spiritual impact, look for ways to create a better life, to encourage the essence or soul life of yourself and of those you can reach. Look for ways to free up time by identifying the essentials (and non-essentials) in your life. These ideas can be exceptionally simple, something that can be begun without a great fanfare of money or time or staff. Usually, we see practical possibilities that were invisible before, suddenly become obvious.

5. The entire zodiac can be understood from the angle of light. This light is the inner light of the soul. Its unfolding radiance is the manifestation of our divine nature. A study of the 12 different lights for each of the constellations of the zodiac reveals the symbolic story of the growth of the light body, within the Soul of Humanity and within each of us. This gradually reveals the purpose of God.

6. These group meditations are to increase the channel of reception for the energies of light and love. We are using our minds as a channel to receive the energies of light, love, and power.

7. The moment of the full moon each month offers the greatest opportunity for meditation especially in groups focused on cooperating with the divine Plan or Intention for our world.p

The rhythmic nature of the soul's meditation is like the ebb and flow in all nature. In the tides of the ocean we have a clear picture of an eternal law... and the cyclic response to soul impulses lies back of a morning meditation, a noon re-alignment, and an evening review. (Adapted from notes by A. A. Bailey)

The energies that are uniquely available at the full moon - when rightly understood, received and transmitted in meditation - are helpful for humanity to move towards its spiritual goal as a center of consciousness within the One in Whom we live and move and have our being. This is the essential objective of monthly full moon meditation meetings.

In preparation for group meditation, the most significant part of the work is to become aligned and integrated as a group, open in consciousness to the Hierarchy and the Christ as head of the Hierarchy, and to form a channel of energy communication in human consciousness. In undertaking the service of full moon meditation, the aim is to work imaginatively as members of the new group of world servers, dedicated to world service. Spiritually and telepathically the group is one, and the work is one. < style="font-size: larger;"> These group meditations are based on the science of energy, which recognises that all is energy and energy follows thought.Even the smallest atom of substance contains within it that which can respond to spiritual energy and stimulation.

The effect of meditation is invoking higher, spiritual energies and place these energies within the world of men. This double activity is the secret of creative meditation. It invokes the higher energies, and creates a channel of contact between soul and spirit. It also evokes and creates dynamic movements within humanity for needed changes.

The Virgo cycle offers an opportunity for each person in the Holy Grail ~ the Sacred Chalice, planet Earth’s Light Grid ~ to further participate in the distribution of the Life which in turn implements the Divine Plan on Earth. The constellation Virgo itself holds the hidden Holy Grail in the night sky, and as the Sun traverses the sign Virgo, we are able to tap into this energy towards advancing our service.

Virgo ~ the Virgin ~ symbolizes the form nature. Soul and body are blended in Virgo, and we're told they are of great importance to each other: "matter guards, cherishes and nurtures the hidden soul." (1) Likewise, the divine feminine nurtures the Christ within in the Light of Virgo ~ the Hope of Glory.

It is here in Virgo that the intentional uniting of sprit and matter occurs. In creating the form, Divinity planted the seed in Virgo. Through our working with the form, the end result is the Sacred Form ~ ultimately, the manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

The following additional notes from Bailey's discussion of Virgo in Estoteric Astrology are helpful to consider.

• Virgo is, therefore, the opposite pole of spirit and stands for the relation of these two after they have been brought together ....

• Virgo is ... the cosmic mother because she represents cosmically the negative pole to positive spirit; she is the receptive agent where the Father aspect is concerned.

• ... Virgo "involves the service of the immediately present" or in other words ... God immanent evokes reaction from the form side and is thereby served. (2)

The Heavenly Holy Grail is associated with the constellation Virgo and each year during the sign of Aries, March 20-April 19, the Easter Full Moon travels through the heavens with Spica, the brightest star of Virgo the Virgin.

In 2010 the exact time of the Full Moon occurs Monday, March 29 at 7:25pm PDT; 02:25 UT. The Full Moon lies between Saturn and Spica as shown in the map below, and moves toward the blue-white star as the hours unfold.

Note: The Moon travels with Spica a second night in 2010. Tuesday, March 30, it lies closer to this star. 3/30 9pm Sky Chart ~ 3/30 Star Map

We mentally link up with people of goodwill everywhere, as part of the united group channel through which the spiritual forces can become available. Affirming this channel, "We stand poised united as One Soul with our Spiritual Hierarchy." We hold the focus.

We now visualize and become the Chalice we have created together as a grid of light all over the earth that connects the light of every lightworker and each sacred energy vortex. This network serves as a conduit through which the heavenly blessings may flow through every one of us and to the planet Earth.

As One, seeking the Light, we again journey to the high place. The gateway that is Virgo opens wide, and we rise into its Light.

The ever-evolving, blended, dual Light of Virgo ~ the light of matter and the light of Spirit ~ is further revealed. With each cycle around the zodiac, the light of Spirit grows brighter and brighter. We are consciously transforming the light of form into the light of Spirit.

This Divine Light brings Clarity of Purpose, lifting us out of the chaos of the form nature. Divinity is planting within us now the golden seeds of our spiritual evolution. The Secret of Creation in us is alive.

As the Divine nurtures us, we endeavor to nurture the Divine in all. We see the living, loving Light of Deity growing at our center and we seek and find that light in all.

As we emerge from meditation, with focused mind, heart and will, we dynamically intone The Great Invocation.

"He who faces the light and stands within its radiance is blinded to the issues of the world of men; he passes on the Lighted Way to the great Centre of Absorption. But he who feels the urge to pass that way, yet loves his brother on the darkened path, revolves upon the pedestal of light and turns the other way.

"He faces towards the dark, and then the seven points of light within himself transmit the outward streaming light, and lo! the face of those upon the darkened way receives that light. For them the way is not so dark. Behind the warriors--twixt the light and dark--blazes the light of Hierarchy."

Link up in consciousness with your soul and the group soul, composed of all the many individuals and groups throughout the world who working in meditation at this time of the full moon opportunity. Say with heartfelt intent:

"I am one with my group brothers and all that I have is theirs.
May the love, which is in my soul, pour forth to them.
May the strength, which is in me, lift and aid them.
May the thoughts, which my soul creates, reach and encourage them."

Attain an inner point of quiescence and poise, aligning within the center of all love. Through a process of spiritual inbreathing, raise the consciousness to as high a point as possible, in alignment with the spiritual Hierarchy, the World Teacher at the heart of Hierarchy and extend the alignment to include the center Shamballa.

You can xxtend the line of light towards Ashram of Sanat Kumara; towards the Christ at the heart of Hierarchy, in addition towards Shamballa, the centre where the Will of God is known.

Stand within the high point of spiritual tension, holding the higher mind poised and quiescent, receptive to spiritual impression. Breath in the energy of the Hierarchy.
Hold the contemplative mind open to the extra-planetary energies streaming into Shamballa and radiated through Hierarchy. Using the creative imagination, endeavour to see the three planetary centres-Shamballa, Hierarchy, and Humanity-gradually coming into alignment and interplay.

Within the light of the higher mind, reflect upon the seed thought under consideration. Consider the inner meaning and symbolic importance behind the words.
Reflect on the seed thought - using the appropriate keynote for the zodiacal sign.

Breath out the energy contacted, visualizing the energy of divine love radiating throughout the group and outward to the world. Feel yourself as part of the divine circulatory flow of the energy love that penetrates all planes and states of consciousness.
Using the creative imagination, visualise the energies of Light, Love and the Will-to-Good pouring throughout the planet and becoming anchored on Earth in prepared physical plane centres through which the Plan can manifest. (Use the six-fold progression of divine Love as the sequence of energy precipitation- Shamballa/Hierarchy/the Christ/the new group of world servers/men and women of goodwill everywhere in the world/physical centres of distribution.)

Re-center the consciousness within the periphery of the great Ashram. Holding that point of tension, extend the alignment as high up into the head as high as possible. Hold the mind poised and quiescent. Sound the affirmation:

In the center of all love I stand.
From that center, I the soul, will outward move.
From that center, I the one who serves, will work.
May the love of the divine self be shed abroad
In my heart, through my group, and throughout the world.

Visualize a lighted band of energy, the "Pathway of Light", projecting from the group mind into the waiting and receptive united group personality. Consider our individual and group responsibilities towards preparing human consciousness for the externalization of the Hierarchy and the reappearance of the World Teacher, the Christ

As The Great Invocation is sounded, release the energies, visualise the ououring - of Light and Love and Power from the spiritual Hierarchy, through the five planetary inlets-- New York, London, Geneva, Darjeeling, and Tokyo.. See them circulating and irradiating the consciousness of the whole human race throughout the planet via the five pointed star of energy distribution
