Saturn’s day – Saturday, May 27, 2023.
Saturday is always a Ray 3 day – Earth is Ray 3 too.
Ray 3 is Divine Intelligence, Right Thinking, Right Choice, Right Action that nourishes.
Ray 3 is humanity learning to think, be aware, awake & discerning of the truth of all that matters. All that nourishes.
The Gemini festival is the 3rd Spring festival of the year.
It is next Saturday, June 3rd – 13 degrees Gemini.
The 3rd letter in the alphabet is C –
The 3rd letter in the Hebrew alphabet is Gimell, meaning “to nourish.”
The Ancient Romans adapted the Etruscan alphabet for use in Latin, which was adapted from Greek alphabet, but they never “switched” the third letter. <C> was the Latin adaptation of Gamma Γ, which was an adaptation of the Semitic Gimel ג.

Being Quiet & Listening each day till the Gemini Festival.

THE LISTENING PILGRIM
Preparing for the Gemini Festival.
Listen, O Pilgrim, to the chanting of the Word by the great Deva Lords. Hush all earth vibration, still the restless strivings of lower mind, and with ear intent hark to the sounds that rise to the throne of the Logos. Only the pure in heart can hear, only the gentle can respond.

The stormy sounds of all earth struggle, the shrill vibration of the watery sphere, the crashing note marking the place of thought, dims the sound and shuts out the tone. He who is silent, quiet and calm within, who sees all by means of light divine and is not led by light reflected within the threefold spheres, is he who will shortly hear. From out the environing ether will strike a note upon his ear unlike the tones that sound within the world terrestrial.

Listen, O Pilgrim, for when that sound strikes in colourful vibration upon the inner sense, know that a point has been achieved marking a great transition.

Watch then, O Pilgrim, for the coming of that hour. With purified endeavour mount nearer to that Sound. Know when its tone steals through the misty dawn, or in the mellow sunlight strikes soft upon the ear, that soon the inner hearing will become expanded feeling and will give place to sight and perfect comprehension.

Know when the music of the spheres comes to you note by note, in misty dawn or sunny noon, at cool of eve, or sounding through the deep of night, that in their rhythmic tone lies secret revelation.
Om Om Om

Listening together in the Ashram. Preparing…love, Risa 

We are preparing each day now for the Gemini festival.
At the time of the full moon – the 3rd Spring festival.
It is the Festival of Humanity & World Invocation day.
It is next Saturday – June 3, 2023.
Full moon of June – a Light that flows down, a concentrated light poured down upon humanity – it is the Light of Goodwill, illuminating the minds of men (thinkers).
Goodwill must manifest in humanity in an effective way through out the world – it is an expression of Divine Purpose. The final decision in world affairs must be made by humanity itself. Man has free will & this must be preserved. Man cannot be imprisoned.

Externalization of the Hierarchy (p.445):
“May He Whom we all love and serve, the Master of all Masters and the undying Friend of Mankind shed His light upon our way and evoke our trust, our understanding and our help in His task – at the Gemini festival – of leading humanity into the light of a new day.”

Moon enters Virgo tonight – Mercury rules Gemini & Virgo.
The Word – Sword – s-word.
He said when He was on earth two thousand years ago, “I came not to bring peace, but a sword.”
He comes with a flaming sword.
Which eliminates the evil & brings forth the Rule of Law.
The sword of the spirit is wielded by the Hierarchy, and by its means cosmic evil is arrested; the sword of discrimination is wielded by the initiates and the disciples of the world, and by its means the distinction between good and evil, with a consequent presentation of free choice between the two, has been laid before humanity, and the lines of demarcation have been made abundantly clear in this world war.
(During WW2) – It was the hope of the Christ and the longing of all the Masters that men would see clearly and make free and right choice, so that – without physical plane warfare – they would bring about the needed changes and the ending of wrong conditions. But the conflict descended on to the physical plane and the sword of material war (symbolically speaking) was taken up by humanity.

And now, the same dark forces of Atlantean times are alive & well in the US & controlling the minds of humanity.

What does a sword do? Why do we use a sword?
Swords not only eliminate & destroy but it also protects.
The word (our thoughts/actions, comnunications) either destroy or create, hinder or help. That is our free will choice. However, the results of the choice of hindering has deep & great consequences. The “woke” in our present world, those who manipulate, control the minds of humanity do not recognize this.

Jesus at the Temple
12 “Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[a] but you are making it ‘a den of robbers” Matthew 21:12-13

Angel of the Flaming Sword
Sword of Discrimination – Sword of Cold Blue Steel.
Sword of Renunciation – turning away from evil.
Sword of Spirit – in hands of Disciple cuts down obstacles standing in way of Group Progress. (White Magic, p. 577+)

Laws of the Soul –
4th Law – The Law of Repulse?
“[An] aspect of one of the greatest cosmic laws . . . which is the cosmic Law of Attraction, for that which is attracted in time is automatically and eventually repulsed by that which attracted it in the first instance.” Esoteric Psychology II, p .148

“Reject the undesirable in order to find that which the hea…
“Reject the undesirable in order to find that which the heart craves, and thus leads the weary pilgrim from one rejection to another, until with unerring choice he makes the Great Decision.”
from Esoteric Psychology II, p. 149

“Each yogi wields his sword directly over his own heart; to that degree is he responsible for every action of his will.”
Agni Yoga, 222

Hands when used in service turn the key in the door of Initiation.
Hands in Service, wielding of the swords, hands held in Group Service. Hands as Holy. Laying on of hands. Healing by the hands – hands ruled by Gemini.
