The Path of Holiness – the 12 Gates.
Interval between Resurrection & Ascension.
And so today is Tuesday April 2, 2024.
We have April showers today where we live.
March brings blustery winds. April brings spring showers.
The spinach has formed its round leaves in our garden.
And the rest of the garden needs planting.

And so…we are now under the Mercury retrograde.
27 degrees Aries to 16 degrees Aries – till April 24th.

Capricorn moon today on this Tuesday – Mars day, Ray 6 day.
Capricorn moon days are practical days.
We put our boots on & tend to the work needed.

The moon is busy today – so we are too.
Moon passing by Saturn, Jupiter, Ciron, Uranus, Mercury, Venus & Neptune. A busy moon today & tomorrow.

Sun in Aries – Mercury & Chiron in Aries too.
Venus enters Aries Thursday night.

Time moves on, the planets keep circling the Sun and the season’s change.
A time for everything on earth & in the heavens.

Interval
Interval Between Resurrection & Ascension of the Christ.
Forty days after the Resurrection of Christ from the tomb of matter, Christ Ascends into Heaven (He returns to Shamballa, in the Gobi region, home of the Father, Sanat Kumara from Venus).
It was only the physical body of the Christ that was no longer seen. The Christ has remained on the Earth since that time 2000 years ago. He has not left the earth.

Fifty (Pente) days after the Resurrection, the Christ sends a messenger, the Holy Spirit, which opens the minds of His Disciples to be able to understand the language of the heart of all the peoples on Earth. Pentecost – fire of understanding in the mind & heart.

From Resurrection to Ascension, the Christ continued (continues today) to teach His Disciples the Christian Mysteries (the Teachings of the Pisces Age, fulfilling the prophecies of the Aries Age). Pisces was the fulfillment of the Aries Age. Love fulfilled all the promises & teachings of the previous Ages/Religions. This last statement is most important to understand.

We can ask the Christ (our Soul) to come into our hearts & teach us. As we ask this we become quiet, listening to the still small voice within. We are grateful. Gratitude & Goodwill open the Gates.

From Easter to the Ascension
And so from Resurrection to the Ascension the Christ taught His Disciples, not in the body of Jesus, but in His Sun Body, the luminous radiance of His etheric body. This is our “body of light.” The Christ in HIs Sun body taught His Disciples the inner esoteric teachings. And their days, forty days, were filled with wonder and revelations, their time together was intimate as they all communicated together with the Christ at the center.

This interval of time “lay between heaven & earth”. And the Christ told them that they would develop all the Christed (read “Soul”) powers from on high and they would step forward in the world inspired & illumined, messengers & teaching for the new world.

Each day in the interval between Resurrection & Ascension, the Christ blessed & taught His disciples. The Christ was a channel for ever renewing inflow and outflow of spiritual power. This did not cease when He ascending to the higher spiritual realms of the earth. He now is a channel for ht downpouring forces of the twelve celestial Hierarchy, the Seraphim, Cherubim and the Lords of Flame. Each night, as I have written before, He blesses the world, reciting the Great Invocation, standing under a pine tree.

And so, Ascension is 40 days after this past Sunday.
That means Ascension is May 9th this year, 2024.
And Pentecost is May 19th this year, 2024.

Study of the Path – the Twelve Gates
Each constellation (sign) is the home of great spiritual Intelligences, possessing wisdom and power beyond human comprehension. Each year, when the Archangelic Lord Christ makes His journey to earth as the solar orb (Sun) completes its circuit of the Zodiac, these mighty Hierarchies (zodiacal signs along with their helpers the planets), unite their spiritual forces with that of the Christ in order to sustain & nourish every living thing (all of life) upon the globe.

Thus it is for the illumined student to study the zodiac, each sign & to understand the function, purpose, art & science of astrology – which is a fundamental tool of enlightenment & self knowing.
Till that time we can participate in the Path of Holiness or the Way of the Christ – by studying the path through the Twelve Zodiacal Gates. I remember when I was a student with Sister Corita. She asked us what were the 12 Gates to Heaven. No one knew at that time what that meant. I don’t know if she knew what that assignment meant either, as there was no reference to astrology in that Catholic College. That question remained with me forever. But now I know the answer.

:Isaiah 35:8 wrote:
“And there shall be a highway, a pathway offered & it shall be called The Way of Holiness.”

From Matthew 7:13
“And wide is the gate & straight & broad the Way. It lead to life & who shall find it?”

From John 14:6
“I (the Christ, the Soul, the Teachings, etc.) am the Way, the Truth & the Life.”

We contemplate these words…love, Risa
