NIGHT LIGHT NEWS
Esoteric Astrology as News
February 10-17, 2016
“be(ing) of love (a little) more careful…”
Wednesday (Feb. 10) was Ash Wednesday.
The first day of Lent.
40 days & 40 nights of preparation for Easter (till Palm Sunday).
Friday (Feb. 12) is Lincoln’s 2007th birthday.
Sunday is Valentines Day
On Ash Wednesday, foreheads marked with a cross of ashes, we heard the words, “From dust thou art and unto dust thou shalt return.” Reminding us our bodies (the personality – physical body, emotional/astral body & lower mental body), made of matter, will remain here on Earth when we are ‘called back’ to heaven. It is our Soul that will take us home again (returning to our original home, our ‘Father’s House’).
Lent offers us forty days and nights of purification in preparation for the Resurrection (Easter) festival (an Initiation) and for the Three Spring Festivals (at the time of the full moon) – Aries, Taurus, Gemini. The New Group of World Servers have been preparing since Winter Solstice.
The number 40 is significant. The Christ (Pisces World Teacher) was in the desert for 40 days and 40 nights prior to His three-year ministry. The purpose of this desert exile was to prepare his Archangelic (light) body to withstand the pressures of the Earth plane (form and matter). We, too, in our intentional purifications and prayers during the 40 days of Lent, prepare ourselves (physical body, emotions, lower mind) to receive and be able to withstand the irradiation of Will, Love/Wisdom and Light streaming into the Earth at Spring Equinox, Easter, and the Three Spiritual Festivals.
What is Lent? Anglo-Saxon word, lencten, ancient spring festival, agricultural rites marking the transition between winter and summer. The seasons reflect changes in nature (physical world) and humanity responds with social festivals of gratitude and of renewal. There is a purification process, prayerfulness in nature and in humanity in preparation for a great downflow of Spiritual energies during Springtime.
Note from Risa – on my FB page for Wednesday, February 10, there is more information on Lent & Christ’s exile in the desert during the 40 days & nights before His ministry on Earth.
Pope Benedict (on Lent) wrote that Lent is a time of more intense spiritual training…we are asked to participate in three spiritual practices – prayers, tithing (almsgiving to the poor) and fasting (purifying the personality). The three practices bring forth restoration, a force released to humanity by the Forces of Restoration & by the Spirit of Resurrection. (this last is esoteric)
Valentine’s Day – Aquarius Sun, Taurus moon. Let us offer gifts of comfort, ease, harmony, beauty and satisfaction. Things chocolate and golden. Venus Taurus things.
Remembering to “be of love (a little) more careful than of anything.” (e.e. cummings).
