It’s our Group Birthday today.
October 17, 2022 – Cancer Moon – nurturance.
Twenty four years old – Shamballa’s number is 24.
A Shamballa Ray 1 year ahead for our Group.

Here is a poem about our birthday!
“It’s our birthday today –
I saw the trees flare briefly like
The candles on a birthday cake.”

We opened our Esoteric Astrological Institute on a Sunday
24 years ago, at the corner of New & Center St. Our landlord’s name was Dr. Elmore. When we first rented this little studio,
a little crooked building with a big window out front, a great rain storm happened & then a flood & the waters flowed through the little building, as if cleansing it from its previous 60 years of occupants. We waited several months before we finally opened our school. Next door was a Baptist church. Behind us was a Center for Meditation. For years & years our Group worked in this little building 523 Center St (at the corner of New St.), downtown Santa Cruz, CA.
See our Group chart below.
We are all together for a reason. We have been together before. We have worked together before. And here we are again in this historical time for humanity.

The Astrology Today
Libra Sun, Mercury, Venus. Balance & poise.
Sun trines Mars in Gemini. What are our aspirations?
Venus/Neptune inconjunct.
What untruths are being revealed?

Moon is v/c at 2pm west coast time. Till late tonight.
When moon enters Leo – the Burning Ground.

“In His Temple we live.
His Eye/Light opens within us.
This is a meditation, a visualization.
In His name we live, in his Temple we live.
We live in a human body, this creation is divine.
Life, awareness intelligence will love senses body – all is a divine creation. This is Divine Property we have been given.

We are to enjoy this divine property. Nothing is ours.
All is given. It can be taken at any time.
In His Name We live – we are the I AM.
We forget these things. One day we remember.
He is the original. We are His reflection. He lives in us.
We are just a reflection. He reflects in many bodies in many ways.

Our existence is creation’s existence.
One day He opens His eye in us – then we realize that in His name we live, in His temple we live.
Then there is no more illusion, truth is realized.
The self resolves into the Self (the Soul).
The false personality falls away.
Until the illusion is cast off, what do we do?
There is ignorance & pain. But we keep trying to find the Way.

We listen, we play, we act, we fail again & again.
But we see Him when we see each other. Then life becomes a festive movement. Not a war festival.
We wait. Waiting is a virtue of discipleship.

Life offers through time. Patience & poise allows us to see what life offers. After an act, there is pause, there is poise. In this poise
we receive. Poise, pause – wings of a rhythmic life.
We call Him in so His Light can open in us.
We become for humanity the Light of the World.
Om shanti shanti shanti

We visualize having a party in the Ashram all day & evening.

Happy Birthday to everyone in our Group here.
Our Esoteric Astrological readership group is part of our inner Esoteric Group.
Happy Birthday everyone.
Someday we will all meet together in a community we have all created together.

“It’s our birthday today –
I saw the trees flare briefly like
The candles on a birthday cake.”

Prayers
We ask for prayers for Matthew who is going through a difficult period of transits (Saturn, Mars, Uranus, etc.) in his chart.
Brain chemistry/traumatic brain injury patients can feel deepl despairing at times. We pray for Matthew. His moon is Pisces. Prayers for Matthew & for others in our Healing Dimension (Matthew, Cyrus, Janet, Vrinda to name a few).

Prayers & love to everyone on our birthday.

Wishes for our upcoming year.
That our Group needs align with those who have supply.
Our upcoming year wishes – that land is given in order to create a community of healing, of learning, of teaching. A village of healing, a garden, a learning center, a place of refuge & a home for all of us. ..Risa

Quote:
“There are times when our best is not good enough; we must do what is required”. Winston Churchill

Today – Sunday, October 16, 2022.
In this Kali Yuga times, when the dark forces are allowed to be seen. When they are allowed to assume control….this quote from Churchill is appropriate for us to ponder upon & to contemplate.

“There are times when we must both DO our BEST & also DO WHAT IS REQUIRED.”

Till then the moon is v/c.
Sun, Mercury & Venus in Libra. Calling humanity to Goodwill & Right Human Relations which creates the peace beauty harmony love & healing humanity seeks.
In Libra – the choice is made.

Saturn is about to station – Oct. 22. Squaring Uranus.
Uranus & Saturn are the Soul & Spiritual rulers of Libra.
Saturn – the laws, the rule of law,
Uranus, the change needed to bring about the new harmony.
Saturn & Uranus also rule Aquarius, the new era unfolding.
Libra connects Uranus & Aries – the bridge.
Libra the mental unit. Saturn is the mental unit.
Aries, the mental permanent atom, the higher part of the bridge. Uranus is Spiritual ruler of Aries.

What does this mean in our everyday lives?
Saturn, bringing to us that which needs redeeming.
Uranus, what is needed to change? What are the new rhythms needed in our lives. What habits need to fall away?
Saturn will station on Oct. 22nd.
What habits need to fall away. What new rhythms do I need to cultivate?

Goodwill & Right Human Relations w/ all the kingdoms are part of the new Laws & Principles of the new era, the Aquarian Age. As each new Age unfolds, humanity is given the instructions for how to navigate the new energies of the new age. As each Age unfolds the previous laws/principles are given new dimensions. For Aries, humanity was given the 10 Commandments.
For Pisces Age it was/is the Law of Love.
For Aquarius, now beginning, we are given the Laws & Principles of Aquarius.

What are Laws & Principles?
Principles are great ideals inherent within our being and the universe.
Laws are the expressions of those Principles.

There are 3 Laws & 3 Principles. Thus six in all.
Laws are God made.

Each Laws & Principles during each year is contemplated & recollected for 2 months.

From Aug. 20 to Oct 20, we contemplate upon & study the Law of Spiritual Approach.

From Oct. 20 – December 0, we contemplate upon & study the Principle of Essential Divinity – Essential Divinity is the deepest innate essential nucleus of our being. It is the Fire (Agni) of the One Life. It is the nutritive centre of silence that is the goal of consciousness for individuals and humanity.
From Oct. 20 – Dec. 20.

As we work with Wisdom it has a magical impact upon us. True magic is the application of Wisdom in one’s daily life. The cosmos is within us. Magic is from constellation Magus or Maga. Regulus is Magha. Magic. Our land in the United States is the Magical Kingdom. Maga, Mahat – they means Magic. Aquarius is the magical age. We are to recognize the magical realities. Magic in Sanskrit is Maya which becomes Maga, Magus, Maha. Mahatmas are Wisdom Masters, of Magic. Base metal to gold. Maha, Maga. One word into many sounds. They are not different. Maga, Maha, Magus, Maya, Magic. They are the same. The present day word, Maga, is no mistake. It’s all written in the stars.

Questions are good.
They stimulate conversation.
love, Risa

Our Reappearance Preparations Meditation Day today – preparing the Way in our recollections & prayers & mantrams for the Reappearance of the Christ, Maitreya is His name. Precipitations begin in 2025.

Work as Offering
As we work together, whatever work we do, we do our work as an offering. Whatever work we do each day, we see it as an offering.
Work as an offering is a holy work. We offer our work to the world. When we do so we make all that we do sacred. We cherish all that we do. Knowing, our offering is sacred to all beings on earth & in heaven. We become a column of Light. A teaching. We help others and our Soul begins to nourish us. This nourishment is then offered to others, to all the kingdoms around us. When we offer our work as an offering, the Soul shines forth through our personality (body, emotions, lower mind). healing all that is around us.

Libra, Putin & the United States
We look around us to see the Libra energies all around us.
Prez Putin highlighted the Libra of the United States in a speech. Below is Putin’s natal chart around the United States.
Putin’s Sun/Saturn in Leo highlights the US dweller (Saturn).
Putin’s Asc is Scorpio – Scorpio plays vital role in the reorientation of humanity – from personality to the Soul to Discipleship.

Also, a quote from the Tibetan (blue books) on the US & Russia from Destiny of the Nations (Ray information on both countries).

It’s important to learn of these things so when we hear of Russia or Putin or the true prez or the US we know the astrology & understand the energies involved. Disciples are intelligent & know astrology, using it as a lens for understanding the present times. We look at the outer world & then we look at the energies of the charts – Everything is energy. The world disciples (nations) are the US, Great Britain & Russia (at times France). These are different levels of understanding that Disciples are called to know.

Fraud
So much fraud appearing in all levels of our country – so much fraud to recognize & to understand. When we recognize the fraud in plain sight all around us, a red pill moment, our life changes. There are pioneers pointing the fraud out to us. Their lives are not easy. Pioneers are the rabble rousers, the shaker uppers. They stand alone. A difficult task indeed. That is why the Tibetan created his Discipleship Groups. So the pioneers are not alone.

Children in our Prayers.
False Shooting in schools – in CA – the Force of Darkness will continue ceaselessly to bring outer events, news, situations to humanity that creates fear, despair, death to humanity. It will continue & accelerate. False ideas placed into humanity’s minds & hearts. Humanity needs help now, and will need more help later as the Forces of Darkness accelerate. It will be worse in Scorpio. Also with south node in Scorpio – we need to study homeopathics for fear – for the children suffering from these disastrous events. We learn how to muscle test. We learn how to observe. We learn how to tend & care for our children, meeting their true needs. We learn about homeopathics. We become healers.

See Below
See Putin’s chart. Putin w/ the US charts. Quote on the US & Russia. Learning today in our ashram.

Russia & the United States

Destiny of the Nations (page 60)
The United States of America has for its personality ray the sixth ray and hence much of its personality difficulties. Hence also its strong desire life, impelling it to sex [60] expression and to materiality but to a materiality which is very different from that of the French, for the citizen of the United States values money only for the effects on his life which it can bring and for what it makes possible. Hence also the rapid response of the American continent to every form of idealism, to the need of others, even of its enemies, to compassion for all suffering and to a pronounced progress towards a well defined humanitarianism. This they may call the democratic ideal but it is in truth something which grows out of and eventually supersedes democracy – the ideal of spiritual government – a government by the highest and the most spiritual to be found in the land. Hence also their unrealized esoteric motto: “I light the Way.”

All the various forms of government, prevalent in the world today, will – after making their great experiment and its resultant contribution – proceed upon the way of enlightened rule by the illumined minds of the age. This development is certain and inevitable and the indications of this happening can be seen today by those who have eyes to see and a developed inner vision.

Russia is peculiarly interesting at this time from the angle of humanity because she comes under the influence of both rays. Her egoic ray is the seventh and her personality ray is the sixth. Hence the tremendous conflict which is going on between the fanatical sixth ray cruelty of her sixth ray regime and the spiritual harmlessness which is the basic principle of the national ideology. Hence also the materiality of several important sections of her populace and the essential brotherliness which is imposed by the idealism and the mystical aspiration of the Russian genius, expressed through its people as a whole. Hence also the correctness of their spiritual motto which is as yet unrealized by them but which is working itself out noticeably to those of [61] us who can see upon the inner side of life. That motto is: “I link two ways.” Their task, which will develop as they come to truer understanding, is the linking of the East and of the West, and also of the worlds of desire and of spiritual aspiration, of the fanaticism which produces cruelty and the understanding which produces love, of a developed materialism and a perfected holiness, of the selfishness of a materialistic regime and the unselfishness of a mystically and spiritually minded people, and all this in a most pronounced and peculiar manner. Behind the closed borders of that mysterious and magnificent country, a great and spiritual conflict is proceeding and the rare mystical spirit and the truly religious orientation of the people is the eternal guarantee that a true and living religion and culture will finally emerge. Out of Russia – a symbol of the world Arjuna in a very special sense – will emerge that new and magical religion about which I have so often told you. It will be the product of the great and imminent Approach which will take place between humanity and the Hierarchy. From these two centers of spiritual force, in which the light which ever shineth in and from the East will irradiate the West, the whole world will be flooded with the radiance of the Sun of Righteousness. I am not here referring (in connection with Russia) to the imposition of any political ideology, but to the appearance of a great and spiritual religion which will justify the crucifixion of a great nation and which will demonstrate itself and be focused in a great and spiritual Light which will be held aloft by a vital Russian exponent of true religion – that man for whom many Russians have been looking and who will be the justification of a most ancient prophecy.  (end of text).

It’s National Farmers Day today.
Honoring hardworking farmers throughout America’s history.
Sustaining all of us. Offering recognition & gratitude to all the hardworking farmers and ranchers who plow, sow, grow, and harvest to feed our nation. We especially rely on farmers for the fresh food on our tables especially during these uncertain times. We offer gratitude & praise to the hard-working farmers across the nation. In the midst of harvest-season, This day pays tribute to the men, women, and families who cultivate food for farmer’s markets, grocery stores and on our tables each day.

Today – October 12, 2022. The harvest month.
It is also Sukkot – harvest festival & remembering the long walk, 40 years pilgrimage, from Egypt to Canaan/Israel. The walk of purification. We are in that “long walk” now too, in between Pisces & Aquarius. The “in between” times are ruled by Libra.

Today, Wednesday, Mercury’s day, Ray 4 day.
Harmony Thru conflict & chaos day. From conflict & chaos, a harmony seeks to emerge.
Libra – moving up & down, here & there, oscillating until a point of harmony & balance is achieved.
Libra is Ray 3. The symbol of Ray 3 is the triangle.
Love is at the apex of the Triangle of Ray 3.

The Triangle – symbol of Ray 3.
Disciples stand at the apex of the triangle.
Love at the apex. Because it is Love that underlies all the happenings of the world. Love integrates the two bottom points of the triangle – that which opposes.

Mantram of Love
At the centre of all love I stand;
From that centre, I the Soul will outward move;
From that centre, I the one who serves will work.
May the love of the divine Self be shed abroad
In my heart, through my (our) group and throughout the world.
Om shanti shanti shanti

I AM – identification
The moon sings the song of the Sun.
Sixteen tones. We offer to the world the lotus of the day.
And the lotus of the night. Sun, planets, stars, are temples of knowledge. Sun is the image of God.
The Sun is God’s manifest form. There is a Sun in the Ajna center, transmitting energies from above. The moon, sixteen phases, sixteen letters, the new moon & full moon – 16 messages from the Sun thru the moon.
A sixteen letter mantram helps us to align with the Sun. The temple is one’s own body. The Sun streams its rays into the body of each human. The name of the Lord in the Sun is I AM. We too are I AM, when we remember our origins. I AM the Lord. I AM the Sun. These are our true identifications. We recollect God as I AM within. Consciousness is thus filled with the Lord of the Sun. All planetary intelligences are filled with the Lord, I AM. All is I AM.
The day & nights are offerings to each of us. We blend with the days & nights.
The Temple is starlit. The Sun shines through. The moon brings a message each full moon, singing a word of 16 letters. This we belong to, this Temple we built. This name we utter. This glory we live in. The lotus of the day. Lotus of Night. I AM. OM.

Identity, health, timing, & a psychological point of view are what astrology (personality building & Soul/esoteric astrology) offers when one seriously studies the art & science of astrology from both the personality & the esoteric points of view. Within everyone’s chart there is the past, the present & the future. Thee is the Soul purpose & the dharma of this lifetime. In the chart there is the wound & the healing. In the chart there is timing of events. It is the STUDY of astrology that unfolds one’s identity.

We continue our prayers for Matthew’s restoration & for the life force of Cyrus to take hold. We pray for everyone in our families friends & loved ones.

Healing prayers
