Pluto in Aquarius – the power within groups.
Ray 1 coming forth within group work.
We can see this everywhere – in politics especially,
Triggering aspects of power.

Pluto & the Tarot
Pluto rules Scorpio – transformation, death, regeneration.
Thus the two cards…

The Hanged Man – tarot card of Pluto. Helps us learn about sacrifice, suffering and endurance…also about how to reframe & transform the current situation for the better. Smiling at the shadow. There is no death. Only transformation.

Death – tarot card of Scorpio. Death is an Adventure. A transition from here to there…some things fall away, their work completed. From this comes new realities, new actions, the new era.

Temperance – a Venus card – stabilzing oneself within all the changes & vicissitudes of life – Temperance.

Reappearance Meditation
Our Reappearance Meditation under Jupiter is Ray 2 of Love Wisdom.
We stand close to the Christ, at the heart of Hierarchy.
Our meditation becomes a healing for all those in need.
In the light of our Soul, we say to the Christ….

“People of goodwill can come together to make things better.”
These are good words.
The NGWS are aware of how Goodwill is created in humanity.
We align with the Will-to-Good (Ray1 into Ray 2).
And radiate the Will-to-Good to humanity.
And then the Will-to-Good becomes Goodwill in humanity.
Understanding this “precipitation” is the task of all Disciples.

Reappearance of the Christ Meditation Day.
We stand close to the Christ, at the heart of Hierarchy.
Our meditation becomes a healing for all those in need.
In the light of our Soul, we say to the Christ.

“People of goodwill can come together to make things better.”
These are good words.

Our Meditation
Standing together under the light of the Group Soul, facing the Christ with intention, dedication & Love, we say Reappearance Mantram together…

Forgetting the things which lie behind,
We will strive towards our highest spiritual possibilities.
We dedicate ourselves anew
To the service of the Coming One
And will do all we can
To prepare men’s minds and hearts
For that event.
We have no other life intention.

We sound the OM three times, dedicating the three-fold personality (triangle of the personality – physical body, emotions, lower mind offered to the triangle of the Soul – Will, Love/Wisdom, Divine Intelligence) to the work of Preparation for the Christ’s Reappearance on Earth.

May the power of the One Life
Pour through the group of all true servers.

May the love of the one soul
Characterize the lives
Of all who seek to aid the great ones

May we fulfill our part in the one work
Through self-forgetfulness,
Harmlessness, and right speech.
Ohm Ohm Ohm Shanti Shanti Shanti.

Quiet in the Ashram is good.
The Silence of Shamballa.
Christ is our Friend. He is our guard & guardian.
We then become a guard & guardian to others.
He is a Friend that never fails. We cultivate the Friend within us as the Soul. A pulsation in the heart of everyone. Guiding us to the Truth, light, life, existence, awareness. The Soul/Christ is with us in life, birth, sleep & death. There is no friend greater than Him/the Soul. He is also the Lord Maitreya, the Aquarian World Teacher. He infuses Himself into the Soul of each of us. The Christ who is the Soul is our Friend. We cultivate this friendship.
We guard the Temple of Self, Temple of Good Works, the Temple of Life itself. We nourish our body & heart our mind with thoughts of Goodwill. We thus become also the Gardener of the Temple. Ohm
