Today is the first day of Passover & the 2nd night.
Passover – signifying the angel passing over the houses of the Hebrew people preparing to leave Egypt (Taurus Age), follow Moses into the desert (40 years) & into the promised land – Canaan. This journey is called the Exodus (both a journey & a book in the Bible).

Today – Palm Sunday, a week before Easter (Resurrection Festival). Christ (Pisces World Teacher) ended His time (40 days/40 nights) in the desert and on Palm Sunday, rode into Jerusalem, palms waving above His head. It was a brief moment of triumph for the Christ, seated on the back of a donkey, symbol of patience and humility (crown jewels of mastery for Disciples), virtues we are to emulate. Christ’s three-year mission (overshadowing Jesus) was almost complete. The road into Jerusalem signifies the Path towards the City of Peace. This is the road “less traveled”. The road Disciples must also take. It is the Path of Promise leading to the Resurrection (Easter).

The Story of the Exodus – Passover.
The people through ritual storytelling and special foods, maintaining their tradition, knowledge of their history, & connectivity through the generations world wide.
On the first two nights of Passover, the Hebrew people celebrate a Passover meal, called a Seder (it means the order of things 0 consisting of symbolic foods. There are songs, stories, prayers, the drinking of wine & the explaining what the symbolic foods are- matzah, bitter herbs, roasted lamb, hard boiled egg, mixture of fruits & nuts, horseradish, 4 cups of wine.
The stories & prayers are read from the Haggadah (teachings & words of the ancient teachers, text, book, “to learn”, etc.) contains the narrative of the Israelite exodus from Egypt, special blessings and rituals, Talmudic commentaries, and Passover songs.
Passover ends with the Song of Songs
In modern Judaism, the Song is read on the Sabbath during the Passover, which marks both the beginning of the grain-harvest and the commemoration of the Exodus from Egypt.
Jewish tradition interprets it as an allegory of the relationship between God and Israel. In Christianity, it is viewed as an allegory of Christ and his bride, the Church (the people).

The Song of Songs ends the Talmud. The Torah/Talmud are texts concerning all the Jewish Laws – Aries was the Era/Age of the Laws (ruled by Saturn). The Laws then & now remain – the Ten Commandments. The Song of Songs is the only text that does not relate to the laws. The Song of Songs is about love, joy, bliss.
It is poetry.
Song of Songs is one of the mystical Biblical texts for the Kabbalah, which gives an esoteric interpretation to the Hebrew Bible (Torah, Old Testament).

Passion week begins tomorrow, Monday.
Beginning of Holy Week – Easter next Sunday.

And so…
The actual Aries festival at the timing of the full moon occurs later in the day & into the evening – 5:22pm (PT), 7:22 (CT), 8:22pm ECT).
It is a most important festival this year of 2025.
The first of the Three Spring festivals.
Aries initiates – Ray 1. Then it anchors, thru Uranus Ray 7, the Love & Will of God. Mercury & the Soul say during the festival
“I come forth & from the plane of Mind I rule.”
Today we will prepare for the festival.
By planting seeds – creating an altar, cleaning our the rooms of our homes & our garden – all in a state of contemplation and preparation – with confidence, aspiration & dedication.
Then we will safeguard this day & the days following.
As we contemplate the newness of the new spiritual year, we join with the Forces of Restoration & with the Spirit of Resurrection.
We will visualize we are in the Ashram with the Masters & Teachers at the time of the festival.
We will display all that we know about the Aries Festival.
Reaching our from our hearts to their hearts.
Acknowledging those who came before us (Blavatsky, Bailey et. al). And we will nod to the Masters for their great work in teaching us. Then we will all enter into a state of meditation in the Buddhic plane.
In our meditation during this Aries Festival we will “reach into the light & bring it down to meet the needs of humanity.”
From the triangle of the Big Dipper & the Pleiades & Sirius.
From a star in the Big Dipper, the pointer, Merak.
From the star Rays 1 & 7 in the Big Dipper.
The light flows into Aries – into the heart of the Sun (Ray 2).
Into Mars (6), Mercury (7) & Uranus (7).
Into Shamballa (Ray 1), & into the heart of the Lord of the World.
Into the Hierarchy (Ray 2). Into the heart of the Christ Ray 2), the World Teacher, at the heart of Hierarchy.
Into the New Group of World Servers (where we stand).
Into the people of goodwill everywhere on earth.
And into the hearts & minds of humanity (the masses of humanity – Ray 4).
We visualize this precipitation during the Aries Festival.
This is the Baptism festival, the holy oils festival, it is Holy Week Festival, Passover & the Last Supper Festival, Sacrifice & Crucifixion (Initiations), festival (My Robe My Robe, My Beautiful Robe has fallen away!), the “renting of the veils” (opening the door of Return, the Evolutionary Arc) Festvial & above all the Resurrection Easter Festival.
A new way of approach begins at the Aries Festival.
No longer a death ritual. But a Resurrection ritual from the depths of material into the world of the stars and suns and into the heavens. A new world beginning tonight at the Aries Festival.

Garden, seeds planted, altar created, preparing for the Aries Festival, the first Spring festival – Passover tonight, Venus in the sky stationing direct, Palm Sunday tomorrow.
Participating with joy, with knowledge, with understanding.
Meeting in the Ashram later at the festival.
Preparing today. love, Risa

Learning as we have…
Thru the Ages – Aries, Pisces & entering Aquarius.
The Age of Taurus in Egypt, theJewish/Hebrew Age, the Piscean/Christian Age.
Into the Age of Aquarius, the Golden Age
(He knows…he is destroying (Ray 1) first that which is no longer useful, a preparation for the new era – destruction is needed to cleanse & purify (Aquarian Labor – his descendent) before the new comes forth – He is the major Forerunner.
Right now we are under the first decanate of Aquarius – that of Saturn/Uranus.
What does this mean?
Lots of questions today.
