Part 1 – for today, Monday of Holy Week – Bridging of the old & the new.
Dear readers, this is a most important week of teachings – Holy Week or Passion Week, events that occurred 2,500 years ago and applied today, first through our understanding.

Shift from the Jewish Laws to the Piscean Law (2,500 years ago).
Christ mission – saving humanity, helping humanity to not lose its way in materiality, which had He not appeared to help humanity 2,500 years ago, the Earth would have become darker & denser for many centuries ahead.

Holy Week & Christ’s three year mission on Earth.
The old rituals (Judaic, Aries) needed to be incorporated into new (Pisces/Christ-ian) rituals, the result being the new (wine in old bottle) Christ(ian) (Catholic) Mysteries/rituals added to the Jewish/Judaic laws & rituals.

The Pisces rituals composed the inner esoteric teachings of the new religion for humanity, 2,500 years ago, as the Piscean Age began.
This was the purpose of the founding of the early Christ(ian) church (Pisces Age, a new time for humanity then).

The powers of the early Christians, the power to heal, the power to perform miracles, to understand different languages, etc. was due to the knowledge of these Piscean Christan Mysteries.

However, over the last 2,500 years, as Earth entered deeper into matter, as the Kali Yuga of darkness fell upon the Earth, much has been lost to materialistic thinking, & there was a loss of the original source & power.
We now live in a time of impotency in terms of the Mysteries.
Not until the Mysteries are restored will the regeneration needed by humanity come about.

Helping humanity – and so, during the month of Aries (astrology) & during especially the Aries Festival (this Wednesday), the Forces of Restoration stream into our Earth, attempting to dispel the darkness & the prevailing ignorance, so that Light Love & Power can restore the minds of men (becoming Thinkers once again).

The knowledge needed for this Restoration of Humanity is the knowledge of astrology & the Ageless wisdom teachings, the Initiatory Teachings of the Mystery Schools – the Degrees of the Christ(ian) Mysteries – Purification, Knowledge, Illumination, etc.
All of which are being presented here this week & each day, for those who are seeking & for those who “have eyes to see.”

And so…
The entire process of Holy Week, the days before & the days after, from Lazarus in the tomb (Saturday before Palm Sunday) to the day of Resurrection (Aries Festival & Easter Sunday) – signify from death to awakening to illumination of immortality – the reality that there is no death.

And so….
Dear readers, this is a most important week of teachings – Holy Week also called Passion Week, events that occurred 2,500 years ago and applied today.
Applied today, first through our understanding of those events then & how they connect to our present lives. All that Christ underwent are the Initiatory steps that each of us will encounter in our lives, on our Way to being Illumined.

Understanding the Shift in the Ages
What we will see in the events this upcoming week in Christ’s life is the shift from the Judaic (Jewish Abrahamic) Laws (teachings given in Aries to Moses in the Old Testament – the Torah, including the 10 Commandments.
And…. it is assumed that over 2,500 years since these events occurred, that humanity will have integrated the Old Testament teachings, laws).
The shift if from the Abrahamic Jewish Laws to o the inauguration of the AGE OF PISCES & the LAW OF PISCES – TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER –

And so we see the shift 0
FROM THE JUDAIC (Jewish) LAWS OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS (integrated by humanity hopefully)) TO THE (Pisces) LAW OF LOVE.

So all the events of Holy Week (from today on through next Sunday) that will be described here each day is within that context – from Aries to Pisces.

Understanding the Ages & the shifts & the Christ’s mission on Earth, helps us understand what is occurring in our world today in terms of the shifting of the Ages (Pisces to Aquarius & the World Teacher’s Reappearance.

This week we recapitulate to that time 2,500 years ago & in our understanding apply it to our present times.

As always – this is our Ashram, our College & University of Esoteric teachings. We are learning together. And this is our Mystery School.

And so…
We are shifting from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age. All around us what we have known is falling away, making way for the new era of Aquarius & its directing laws & principles.

Holy Week during the Age of Pisces, when the Christ appeared, is a momentous week wherein the Aries/Jehovahistic (Jewish rites), having been integrated hopefully, were passing away and the new age of Pisces rites were being inaugurated. It is the same as our time now, 2,500 years later (which is the length of an Age). At our present time, the Piscean Age/rites (churches, religion, etc), being integrated somewhat, are passing away (only their essence remaining), making room for the new Aquarian rites – the new era “making all things new again.”

And so onto Holy Week (& a bit of information on Saturday before yesterday, Palm Sunday).

Holy Week really began in a shadow on the Saturday before Christ’s entrance into Jerusalem under waving palms (rejoice the people were saying).
On Holy Saturday, as Christ was leaving the desert, he was called upon to minister to his good friend, Lazarus, a most highly advanced Initiate Disciple who understood the new Christian dispensation (laws, directions, teachings of the Christ).
The name Lazarus means “whom God assists.” Lazarus was dying & Christ was called to visit him and to heal him. However, the Christ did not rush to Lazarus’s side & in the time that passed, Lazarus died & was placed into a tomb.
Eventually, the Christ did come to the home of Lazarus. Lazarus’s sisters were bereft at the death of their brother & blamed the Christ for his death.
However, as Christ, in all His actions, portrayed a Teaching to those around Him, went to the tomb & called out to Lazarus with the words, “Lazarus, come forth!” And lo & behold, Lazarus, hearing his great Teacher’s words, rose up from the dead & appeared at the doorway of the tomb, wrapped in white linen. And the people around the Christ gasped in astonishment.
This was the beginning of the miracles, the fact that there is no death. end of part 1.
Part 2 – posted this afternoon – later today.
