Today – Saturday April 18, 2026. Saturn’s day, Ray 3 day.
The color is emerald green, the color of nature. Ray 3, Divine Intelligence. The star in the Pleiades, Alcyone (Al-sigh-oh-nee) embedded substance with intelligence. Alcyone is the star in which our entire solar system revolves. Alcyone is the daughter of the Titan Atlas (who holds up the heavens) And of the ocean nymph, Pleone. Alcyone, one of the 7 stars in the Pleiades, one of the seven sister, who are the brides of the 7 stars or brothers in the Big Bear. Alcyone is the “star of the individual, the star that govern’s humanity’s intelligent gathering of the personality, lifting it up to the Soul.” An intellgent action of awareness & consciousness, a task of becoming the Thinker.
Alcyone, the star, is linked to the word Halcyon – golden days.
Alcyone, in one of the myths, is called the “kingfisher,” a bird that lives both on land & sea – bridging the two.
• Halcyon Days: Legend tells us that the kingfisher (bird) lays her eggs in winter. To protect them, Zeus stills the winds and warms the sea for fourteen days around the winter solstice, now known as the “Halcyon days”.

There is a town called Halcyon on the very edge of California, where land meets the ocean, it’s next to the town called Oceano – in that tiny region of the California (which is ancient Lemurian land), is the community called the Temple of the People a very old Theosophical community, the overseer being Master Hilarion, Ray 5 Master.

Today…Saturday, April 18, 2026 –
Our last full day of Aries (1/7). Tomorrow, late afternoon, early evening, the Sun enters Taurus (4).
Mercury sextile Pluto today – entering into the depths & finding places of harmony & rest & the needed information.
Tomorrow Mars/Saturn – one step forward, one step back.
We learn how to dance, doing the two step. Love, Risa

Give us your hand, humanity & tread the path with us (NGWS).
New Moon day –
Hands – the instrument of intelligence.
Divine Will comes thru the hands.
Animal will thru feet (how we ground).

Friday, Venus’s day – Ray 5 day. The color is a golden orange, persimmon orange, orange orange, autumn acorn squash orange.
Today – new moon day – 27 degrees Aries.
Aries Sun, Taurus moon after the new moon today.

Our hands reaching out to humanity.
Reaching into the Light, bringing it down to meet the needs.
The new education is the need now in humanity.

This light flows through the NGWS.
We become the Light of the World – this is the Light of Christ,
~the Light of the Soul.
Radiated upon humanity & the kingdoms.
In the Light of our preparations today, we recite these Mantrams together.

“I am a messenger of Light.
I am a pilgrim on the way of love.
I do not walk alone,
But know myself as one with all great Souls,
And one with them in service.
Their strength is mine.
This strength I claim.
My strength is theirs and this I freely give.
A soul, I walk on Earth.
I represent the ONE.”
(Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. I, p. 140)

“I know the Law, and towards the goal I strive.
Naught shall arrest my progress on the Way.
Each tiny life (devas, solar petries) within my form responds.
My Soul has sounded forth that call, and clearer day by day it sounds.
The glamour holds me not.
The Path of Light streams clear ahead.

My plea goes forth to reach the hearts of men.
I seek.
I try to serve your need.
Give me your hand and tread the Path with me.”
(Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. I, p. 265)

“I strive towards understanding.
Let wisdom take the place of knowledge in my life.”

“We strive towards co-operation.
Let the Master of our life, the Soul,
And the One we seek to serve, the Christ,
Radiate light through us, the NGWS, onto others.”
(Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. II, p. 140)

On this new moon day.
Aries – all things new being created based on need.
The need for the new education.
“There will come a time when the proper education of children, by a system of spontaneous education of choice, similar to the Montessori System, will be made possible.”
— R. Buckminster Fuller, 4D Timelock (1928)
“Every child is born a genius,” and Fuller emphasized that Montessori techniques helped avoid crushing that natural curiosity of the child. Love, Risa

Death in the Family –
And the call went forth from the Father – “Well done, O good & faithful Servant. It’s time to return home again” And the Soul hears the Call of the Father & responds.
Death, an Ordered & Loving Process. What is Death? (see below).

And so, in our family the two who were in hospice were “called back” to heaven – Bernie & Becky.
They died within 12 hours of each other. They didn’t know each other, though they were part of our extended family.

We are One Family – many parts, here, there, everywhere.
I feel the sorrow & loss of the loved one to whom this passing has affected. I weep & sorrow with them.
We are One Family, One body. When one sorrows (or is happy & joyful), everyone in the family sorrows or is happy.

Bernie & Becky –
We see them now walking hand in hand through the Bardos (intermediate place between heaven & earth).
Towards the Light that beckons them home again, the Portal of Light.
And towards those who loved them (already in heaven).
Heaven – a place of peace, joy & all encompassing Love.

Death – the Great Adventure into Remembered Freedom.

Call From the Father
And the call goes forth from the Father –
“O great & wondrous servant, your work on Earth is complete.
It is time to return Home now.”
And the Call from the Father is heard by the Soul.
And the elements begin to detach from the physical body – fire earth water & air.
And the Soul/Spirit, hearing the Call – a welcome call after much suffering – releases itself from the physical body, emotions & lower mind.
And the Life thread in the heart is withdrawn.
And the Consciousness thread in the head is also withdrawn.
And the Soul/Spirit is set free.
Ohm Mani Padme Hum.

And freedom from the limitations of the Earth (Saturn) is felt & the Great Adventure in the heavens begins once again.

We Have Died Before
We have died thousands of times. We have entered the Earth thousands of times. Earth, our Temple, our Mystery School.

Life & Consciousness Threads
Each night as we enter into sleep, the Consciousness thread in the head is withdrawn so we can travel to any realm in the cosmos.

The Life Thread in the heart remains in the heart when we are asleep. The Life Thread in the heart is NOT withdrawn.
But the Consciousness thread in the head is withdrawn for the time we are asleep. When we awaken, the Consciousness thread is again attached to the head.

At death to this Earth plane, both threads are withdrawn.
And it is our Soul, free at last, that takes us to heaven.

Angels are dispatched when one is preparing to leave the Earth. And those in heaven whom we know & love are also informed.
So when we die to the Earth realm (it’s like going to sleep), a multitude of Angel messengers & all those whom we love are there waiting for us, informing us of what has just occurring & welcoming us home once again.

We have experienced this (death) thousands of time.
We are not strangers to death.
However, as we enter the Earth plane each time, we forget. Which is as it should be.
As we are to be in each lifetime present to each moment. Not the past or the future. Only the present moment.
Thus forgetting is a gift.

And so when we die what occurs?
With the two Threads withdrawn, we rise up like a bird into the higher realms – free from the outer garment called flesh.
In the higher realms, we review & overview our lives – what happened this past life that we need to remember.

Three Seeds
And we gather Three Seeds (of remembrance) from our most recent lifetime.
1. The Seed of Purpose;
2.. the Seed of those we love(d);
3. the Seed of the future.
There three seeds are what we call upon when we reincarnate & enter the Earth plane for our next lifetime (reincarnation).

WE NEVER LEAVE THOSE WE LOVE.
We have not left those we love.
Although, after dearth, we are no longer in the physical body,
WE HAVE NOT LEFT THOSE WE LOVE.
We remain near to them, observing them, understanding their grief & sorrow, & we try to comfort & console them.
We never leave those we love. We are always near them.

Group Endeavor
Each time we reincarnate back to the Earth plane, we do so
WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE, OUR SAME FAMILIES & FRIENDS & LOVED ONES – we just change places with everyone. We never leave each other, even in death.
We remain both in the heavenly realms (with tasks & duties, going to school, traveling to other planets & places in the universe) as well as always close to those we love.
And when they die, we are there with them.

Death – the Great Adventure into a Freedom we Remember.

“What IS death?” Here are some answers.
Death is an ordered process (even if someone is killed).
Death is an adventure and an interlude.
When the lessons of Earth (Mystery School) are learned, a Word of withdrawal sounds forth, stating the form (body) has served its purpose.
The principle of mind organizes itself, upon hearing the Word (of return), and then repeats the word. And the waiting form (physical body, emotions, lower mind – personality) drops away.

And again words,
“Well done thou good and faithful servant. Thou no longer needs the form. Your work complete, your watch over. Enter now into the Light.” And the Soul stands free.

At death, the disciple returns home. A call ushers forth to be With the Light eternal, to transform into a Being of Light. The mysterious Beauty within us, our Spirit of Life, returns home once again.
Ohm Mani Padme Ohm.
Well done Bernie & Becky. See you in heaven.
And for those “left behind” we ask that they be comforted
in their sorrow, loss & grief.
“Help them, Holy Spirit (the Great Comforter) & Mary, the Mother, who understands. with love, Risa
