A vase of autumn flowers.
Two garden altars & a poem today.
Autumn Equinox Monday, Sept. 23, 2024.
Gemini moon, Libra Sun, air signs.
Communication that is balanced & harmonious.

And so….
The turning of the seasons influence the course of naturee.
We see their effects in plain sight. However there is a deeper influence. The change of seasons influence the soul life of humanity, all the different life waves.
There are cosmic impulses released at intervals & the solstices & equinoxes signify those intervals. The new & full moons are also times of such intervals. The four sacred seasons correspond to the four phases of the Moon.
Dark of the moon is winter.
First quester is spring.
Full moon is summer.
Last quarter of the moon is autumn.

Monday – Autumn Equinox day after.
Our first full day of Autumn –
a vase of flowers, garden altars & a poem today.
Monday, September 23, 2024.
Today –
Libra Sun, Gemini moon – both air signs.
Libra – the light that occiliates, moves up & down.
Until a point of balance & rest are achieved.
Libra, Ray 3 –
In Ayurveda, air is Vata (dosha, vibration).
It is the etheric subtle unseen.
Vata (air) governs movement and communication; it is light, cold, dry, rough, mobile, subtle, and clear.

And so today is Sunday, September 22, 2024.
It’s Autumn Equinox (N. Latitude).
And Spring Equinox (S. Latitude).
The Sun at the equator in Libra – poised for three days.
Inaugurating a new season for humanity.
And a new season of poise & balance & harmony.
We are the Harmonizers.

This morning – we woke up in a new season under the light of Libra (Ray 3 of Divine Intelligence).
Libra – the sign of harmony, balance, Venus ruled.

Contemplation on Autumn Equinox.
Reminder at the equinoxes as the Sun is at the
To stand with Equipoise – with poise within.
Equipoised w/ all that is within & without. A state of observing poise. Physical emotional mental brain Soul, higher mind focused & in alignment. Then we are in complete agreement within the self & our surroundings.

Equipoise – a state of Yoga. All is equalized within. We visualize this. Equipoise = alignment, agreement.

The innermost chamber that holds & balances us is the cerebral spinal column. We live here & it is deep within ourselves.
Spiritual disciples remain within this column. And that which is right is also left, and that which is dark is also the day & the spiritual disciple remains within the middle. Always equipoised.
Thus we experience the bliss of existence.

There is a vertical line to heaven & it is represented by Aries & Libra. Six months on one side, six on the other.
The zodiac arranged in six pairs of opposites equally divided.
The M & F principles equalized. On equinox day & night are equal. When there is equality there is also justice which keeps the balance.

In Lbra (& Sag) we are called to justice which creates balance.
The wise ones always remained n a state of truth & justice. Then nature & spirit are balanced. All opposites complimentary.

On equinox days we see the Earth is friendly.
Justice & love are seen, the Rule of Law is implemented.
All opposing currents are neutralized & friendliness prevails.
Goodwill creating Right Relations & peace & beauty.

Bringing Harmony to Opposing Currents.
When we bring forth harmony to opposing currents, oppositions are neutralized.
This is Ray 4 – harmony emerging from conflicts & chaos. Humanity is Ray 4. Humanity learning harmony via Venus – ruler of Libra – bringing all that separates into a unified loving whole.
Let there be no conflict within.

Teachers only speak of harmony, harmonious dimensions.
They don’t speak of conflicts, arguments, opinions.
They don’t relate to them.
When a student went to see the great Teacher Paramahansa Yogananda – the student spoke of the conflicts in the world.

Paramahansa said to the student….
“To me, I see the world as perfect & beautiful, all working out in divine order, all beings learning in their own developmental stages & processes. Remove the conflict within the self. You can watch the conflict, but don’t relate to it. Relate to the harmony instead which is in your world. And create that harmony. Then we contribute to the permeations of harmony everywhere. Don’t worry about freedom vs. non freedom. This will come in time. See the world as beautiful. Remain in poise.”

When one remains in a state of harmony one is in a state of equipoise. Seers remain beyond conflict. They are always in a state of poise & thus are able to observe conflict.
Not escaping conflict, but just observing it.
Sometimes when we observe conflict it dissolves.

Pythagoras said if two people are in conflict, go to the 3rd person in which they both agree & then they find agreement. A triangle – one can find agreement in a triangle. Two can find conflict, Three can find agreement. When one enters a higher awareness, the lower states become inclusive & agreeable.

On equinox day & enter into a Vision. Have a greater vision.
Stand in the equinox Sun, allowing both hemispheres to have light on both sides. We recollect these things in the spinal column with its seven centers – the seven chakras, light moving up & down from the lowest chakra to the highest, all balanced & each filled with light. The chakras becoming lotuses. From Muladhara to Sahasrara – all balanced.

Each morning as the sun rises, disciples are to stand in the sun.
Being sure the sun touches the forehead, the Ajna diamond light center.
As the sun moves in the sky, the light moves up our central cerebral spinal system & is filled with light.
This is Sun Yoga for students.
The sun rising in the east, reaching a high point, the left & right brains filled with light. Then the sun sets. And then another day begins. The light of the Sun raising itself in the east at dawn. Settling in the west at night.

The disciples sleep.

We concentrate upon this light in the seven centers.
Each day a new day filled with sunlight.
The rising of the sun up the kundalini, the sun traveling in & touching the 7 centers turning to lotuses. Then we move in a column of light, relating to all that is around us, we easily adjust to all that is around. Because we remain poised in vertical levels. This is carried out from equinox onward on a daily basis, also at new & full moons, solstices. Each day.

Initiation Days.
Equinox & Solstice – These are planetary Initiation days.
The dwellers of the planet all stand within this Initiation.
Known or unknown, we all stand together.

And so, as disciples & knowers….we are to relate to these days as Initiation Days.
Equinox & solstice days are Initiations Days.
This is the central theme. Festival days for humanity.
Ancient humanity knew this & thus celebrated. Humanity today has forgotten.

Band of Light
There is a band of light surrounding the earth at all times. We can step into this band of light. We are golden maces – a sacred tool. The head of the mace, the column of the mace. See the light filling the body – this is our daily meditation. Central column filled with light radiating the light out into the body.

Planets
All planetary movements happen in the body – sun moon mercury mars jupiter saturn uranus neptune pluto – the planets move around the Sun. We each are a Sun & the planets are within us.
We gather their light, each light is different & we radiate out this light to the world.
Then we become magnetic to the world.

Regulation Within our Bodies
This is one of the purposes of equinox & solstice.

As the light enters our body, we are recharged with virtue then transformations happen.

This is the Initiation. Setting fire to a vessel so the food is cooked & we find a taste of light & we share this light to others.
Such is the work of disciples at the Equinox & Solstice.

Royal Path
First there is night, then day, then night, then day again.
And disciples sit at the equator, the central column.
‘The equinox is within each of us. And the centers ray out their light. Top to bottom, bottom to top.
This is the Royal Path within us, the Sun’s light passing thru our column. The Sun is the King, the giver. We too are givers. We have descended from the Sun.

State of Yoga & Meditation
The Solstice is a state of meditation, of Yoga.
We recollect this each day. Our head is a cosmic system.
Our bodies part of the planetary system.
We are centered – poised in the Light.
We are calm.

Planet in Prayer
The planet is always in prayer.
We too as disciples are in prayer.
We do not cause any sorrow or pain.
We transmit to our surroundings the light of Equinox.
We radiate that light.
And then all’s well on the Earth.
We are the Harmonizers.
We comfort the people of the earth.
We comfort the people on the earth so the people too become enlightened. This is our planetary service as disciples in the world.
From this autumn equinox onward, we are the Harmonizer.
We enable a releasing of the Earth from its heaviness.
Such is the world of Disciples.

We Are…
There is no hurry – the earth has in her own timing.
Disciples are never discouraged. We just continue to relate to the light. And this day is dedicated to the light of the new season, the Equinox light. And we remain…
The White Magicians. The Adepts.
Lifting up the Earth & her kingdoms to the Kings of Beauty.
Entering a new season in the dark half of the year.
The Festivals of Light begin. love, Risa
