Equinox – the 7th Door Opens – Libra.
What will we choose, asks Libra?
Spiritual forces are released during equinoxes and solstices. These forces affect humanity and all of nature and the kingdoms. Specific spiritual forces are transmitted to Earth for the purpose of regeneration. The sun and the planets are also affected in various degrees by the four sacred seasonal changes. All of heaven aids in carrint out the world these changes involve. The seasons present humanity with a story of light & shadow & it tells humanity of the good in all things.

During the solstices and equinoxes there is a quickening of energies and dynamic powers and thus are occasions for Initiator rites in all Mystery Schools (etheric), long ago and also now. The Initiatory rites were known to the Essenes, to Christ’s Disciples and the early Church Fathers knew of them. But that door has closed & thus the deeper significance of the four Sacred seasons has been temporarily lost. As the new era begins and a general recovery of the Good is restored, the Plan of God, these sublime truths and the application of the forces released will once again be known. But only to those who are pure in spirit and have prepared. Something that we know is the Tabernacle. It is in all churches everywher.

The Solstices & Equinoxes, their spiritual significance, is embodied in the symbolism of the Tabernacle. The communion bread, the 12 loaves of bread (12 Mystery Schools of the Zodiac) on the altar (in ancient times it was called shrew bread) represented/represent the Autumn Equinox, the harvest festival, the festival of ingathering, the nourishment humanity needed to maintain its health through the winter.

All four seasons represent a different phase of humanity journey – from heaven, to the “fall” into materiality, to awakening, to Ascending back to heaven. The fall equinox represents humanity’s “fall” into materiality (we chose this experiment on Earth) & it also represents the Jewish “walk” in the desert, in the wilderness for 40 years – after their release from captivity (from Taurus to Aries).

At the autumn solstice, the Autumn Light descends into the earth from the Spiritual Sun. This Autumn Light also enters into a candidate’s heart & mind, preparing them for Initiation.

The Archangel for Autumn is Michael. He was the One who led the Jewish people through the desert. He was also the One who the Father sent to the Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. Michael is the Dragon Slayer, the Great Protector.

One’s soul at the autumn equinox is placed upon a scale & it is measured by the the goddess of truth & justice, by Libra…our soul is measured against a feather. Are they balanced, Libra asks, looking at the scales?

The equinoxes and solstices are actually four days in which the Sun repositions itself. The four days of the autumn equinox the heavenly realms reach down to touch the Earth, which then allows the Sun to slip into the darkness, below the equator. The path toward the Christmas season then appears. Everyone is given a candle, which never extinguishes, a candle that lights the way to solstice.

The Sun seed settles its light in our hearts at the solstices. It lights our Way forward. As there is a subtle sadness as summer ends, there is also a golden new light, golden vapors seems to surround the earth in protection. “From the autumn’s golden evening sun, all the trees are torches lit.”
May we all be in preparation…love, Risa
