Peace in the Commons.
The Peace That Passeth Understanding.
What is peace? How do we attain peace?
Today is the International Day of Peace.
Peace building conversations everyone.
Peace in the Commons of Humanity.
There is one way to peace.
The Esoteric equation – one of the most important teachings
in the blue books.
How does peace come about?
One begins with the dedication to the Will to Good.
Which is the Will to Love. Ray 1 flowing thru Ray 2.
The Will to Good awakens Goodwill within each of us.
Which creates Right Relations. Which then precipitates
the active processes of Peace, Beauty, Harmony & Love.
All of which humanity seeks.
This knowledge & activation is the task of the NGWS.

We are in our last days of Virgo.
Mercury, Virgo’s personality building ruler is retrograde.
Soon to reenter Virgo.
Today is Tuesday, September 20, 2022.
Soon the Sun will leave Virgo & enter Libra, sign of the scales. Soon too, Autumn begins – Thursday evening, as the Sun enters Libra. We shift from summer’s waters to the airs of autumn.
Autumn Equinox.
The equinoxes & solstices are holy days of the year.
They are the four directions for the four seasons.

Four angels stand at each of the seasons change.
Uriel for summer. Michael at Autumn. Gabriel for winter & Raphael for Spring. The four cardinal signs correspond to the equinoxes & solstices –
Cancer for summer, Libra for Autumn, Capricorn for winter,& Aries for Spring. And the elements – water for summer, air for autumn, earth for winter & fire for spring.

In ancient times, it was at the autumn equinox when the Ark of the Covenant was to be brought out of Egypt & into Jerusalem (City of Peace), city of Solomon. Twelve Princes of Israel were to bring the ark of the Covenant during the sacred time of the Autumn Equinox. The Ark contained the tablets of the Law which Moses placed there after he received the Ten Commandments while in Egypt.

Autumn begins when the Sun enters Libra.
Libra – sign of balance – thus balanced light & dark for the world on this day.
Libra is Ray 3 which is the Law.
It is Right Human Relations & the Rule of Law which is Intelligent & Right Action. All of these are Ray 3. The Law contains Truth which the tablets in the Ark conveyed to the children of Israel. These were given to the people as the Age of Aries, the Age of Laws, began. Following the “laws” allows one to enter into a state of wisdom. When we dedicate ourselves, our body/mind/heart temple to the quest for wisdom (symbolized by Solomon, the Wise King), something awakens within us, the spiritual centers are filled with a golden manna/substance & are aura is filled with a golden radiance & we are given guidance & protection from angelic presences.

The Ark of the Covenant is in our present day lives as it was in ancient times. We become the Holy of Holies thru our intentions & dedication.

Solomon gathered the elders of Isral & all heads of the tribes, the princes & fathers & children of Israel. He gather them during the Equinox, as autumn began, a season of beauty that is cast in a golden autumnal light. When the autumn season was being ushered in.

There is a Song of the Seasons & psalms read as each new season begins. The Autumn season is sun in a minor key with a stringed instrument (spiring in a change in a major key). The Presentation of the First Fruits (Autumn) sang Pslam 132 – the psalms are Songs of the Heart. This is the “chalice” within the body temple. It radiates a light, a golden auric light when one is dedicated to love & the truth.

I will make the horn of David to bud, to grow (I will strengthen thee), I have ordained a lamp to be anointed for thee, I will clothe those who do evil in shame & upon thyself I will crown thee.”

17 “Here I will make thee strong, prosperous, full of life
– a King – And set up a lamp for my anointed one.
18 I will clothe thine enemies with shame,
Thy head will be adorned with a radiant crown.”

Each year the Autumn Equinox festival is also a Festival or Feast of Atonement. Thus we will begin the Jewish Mysteries, that occur right after the equinox this year. Equinox is Thursday, Rosh Hashanah is Sunday. It’s the Day of Atonement, when the “judgements of all human beings for the coming year are ordained.” 
More in coming days. love, Risa

“It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult.” -Queen Elizabeth II

We say our last goodbye’s to the Queen.
The hearse slowly drove through the thousands of mourners.
who threw flowers so that the hearse was covered with roses, coreopsis, lilies.
St. John’s Revelation was read & the coffin was lowered into the vault, joining her family who had previously passed away.
The crown, the sceptre (rod of power) & the golden orb (the world) was taken from the casket & placed on the altar of St. George’s chapel.
The Queen’s funeral is over now.
The royal stick was broken in two.
A new reign begins.

“It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult.”
It has always been easy to hate and destroy. To build and to cherish is much more difficult.”
-Queen Elizabeth II

Prayers at the Queen’s funeral at St. George chapel at Windsor Castle.
Revelation 21.1-7:
I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
Go forth upon thy journey from this world,
O Christian soul;
In the name of God the Father Almighty who created thee;
In the name of Jesus Christ who suffered for thee;
In the name of the Holy Spirit who strengtheneth thee.
In communion with the blessèd saints,
and aided by Angels and Archangels,
and all the armies of the heavenly host,
may thy portion this day be in peace,
and thy dwelling in the heavenly Jerusalem.
Amen.

These very same prayers are said for my brother Bob. He loved the Monarchy, it’s rituals, rhythms, beauty, pomp & ceremonies. love, Risa 

“The Lord comforts us & makes a Way where there seems to be no way ahead – Isaiah

Prayers sent my way.
Today, Sunday, September 18, 2022.
In the days following my brother’s death & in the face of Matthew being discharged from the hospital on Tuesday & our not knowing where he will go….I received this message from a friend. It was comforting as I continue to pray for Bob in the Bardos & for a safe & the best place to appear for Matthew’s continued recovery.

“The Lord comforts us & makes a Way where there seems to be no way ahead.” This is of comfort. 
love, Risa

Death
Bob will Rest in Peace now.
No more troubles, No more suffering.
We light a candle each morning for 49 days…as we say the prayers in the Bardos for Bob. Directing Bob towards the Light ahead. Bob says goodbye to those he left behind. He has an appointment with heaven now. His Watch is over.

People are perplexed with Death….but we tell them….

Death is an ordered process. A healing, a comfort.
It is a return home again.
Death is an interlude. And a refuge.
And so, when the lessons have all been learned
In the classroom called Earth….
The Word sounds forth….a word of withdrawal…
That the form has served its purpose.
Death tells Bob….”Your watch is over. Come home, now, Bob.”
And again the Words from the Soul….
Thou no longer needs the form, O chela, O Son of God.
One’s work complete. One’s watch is over.
And the Soul stands free.

Death is an ordered process
An interlude, a healing, a comfort.
When all the lessons were learned.
After a job well done & one’s watch is over.

Come home now, Bob. And Bob hears those words.
And his suffering is over. Amen
And the angels came & took Bob back to heaven.

Prayers at Death
(from the Upanishads)
The face of Truth is covered by a golden vessel.
Remove, O Sun, thy covering, so I may behold Heaven.
O Golden Sun, Nourisher, traveler of the heavens.
Controller of all.
Disperse the rays and gather up Thy burning light.
Gather up thy daughter, Liza. So she can be with Thee!
Breath, life, vitality of the spirit, melt into the all-pervading Air.
May her Thread of Self, and her body be burnt by fire to ashes.
Her Soul set free. OM!
And upon death we say O mind! remember my good deeds!
O mind! remember, remember my good deeds!
O Agni (Lord of Fire)! lead us on to bliss, to release, liberation,
peace with blessings, beatitudes.
Set Liza upon the Good Path.
Removing the crooked path from within us.
We offer Thee our best salutations!

Morality thus takes upon itself Immortality.
For those left behind, our hearts are touched with love.
The Love within our Soul pours forth upon all those
Bob has “left behind.” Om shanti shanti shanti. Risa

Continued tomorrow.
