And today is the first day of Lent (spring’s preparation).
The Sun has entered the last sign of the zodiac – that of Pisces (sign of saviorship, sacrifice, will & love) –
And so…
Lent begins today. A cross of life on our foreheads.
Sun & Moon & Venus & Mercury in Pisces –
The Light of the World (Pisces Light). The Light of Life itself. We leave our Father’s house, turn back to the Earth & humanity & there, with the Light of Pisces, we save humanity.

We remain with humanity until the very last human turns his face to the Sun. Together we climb the Constitution of Man.

Today – a cross on our foreheads, dust to dust.
Today, Wednesday (Ray 4 day of harmony thru conflict), February 18, 2026) begins 40 days and nights of Lent.
Lent – a springtime preparation of purification, contemplation & a retiring into the desert with the Christ – preparing the physical, emotional & lower mental bodies for an influx of light at the Resurrection (Easter) Festival.

In the Catholic/Christian churches today, the priest places a cross of ashes upon the forehead (ajna center) of each celebrant with the words “from dust those are & unto dust thou shalt return,” a remembrance that the physical body, emotions & lower brain mind are of the earth & will return to the earth at death.

What happens to the Soul?
At death, the Soul will exit the physical body that it has inhabited for the entire lifetime & return itself to Spirit. There are atoms that remain with the Soul that contain the memory of each lifetime.

As the Soul returns to Spirit, the physical body, the emotions & the lower mind (personality) slowly dissolves and disintegrate into its original elements.

Humanity is both animal man & spiritual man – the son of man & the Son of God – 1/2 human & 1/2 angelic.
Upon death these two parts separate, the life cord in the heart & the intelligence silver cord in the head are withdrawn.
And the human returns to higher realms in the cosmos based upon their (our states of consciousness/awareness/vibration).
Thus the words today the first day of Lent – From dust the physical body was made & unto the dust of the earth, the physical body (personality) will return upon death.

During Christ’s last visit to Earth, He followed all the rituals of the Jewish faith (Aries Age, establishing the Age of the Laws – Torah & Ten Commandments) & instituted the new rituals of the new era, the Pisces Age – which established the new religions of
Christ-ianity (establishing the Law of Love).

As we are at the end of the Piscean Age – the Christ will be reappearing (we know not when or where but He will come this time for the nations & all of humanity will “see” HIm) as the World Teacher for the Aquarian Age & will carry with Him the Laws & Principles of the Aquarian Age.

So today – we begin our 40 days & nights in the “desert” (time of purification) with the Christ (our Soul) preparing also for the Three Spring Festivals (Aries, Taurus, Gemini), for Easter, the Resurrection Festival & for Wesak, the Buddha’s yearly appearance on Earth.

We walk with the Christ into the desert & remain with Him for 40 days & 40 nights. We cultivate virtues & unfold each petal in the 7 centers. Surrounding us is the Hierarchy & Shamballa. love, Risa
