The annual cycle of the
Spiritual Festivals offers opportunity for people of all faiths to cooperate. Together, the three full moon festivals of
Aries,
Taurus and
Gemini form a united spiritual approach by
humanity to divinity.
The Wesak Festival has been traditionally associated in eastern civilization with the
Buddha, divine intermediary between the highest spirtual center on the planet,
Shamballa, and the
Hierarchy. The Buddha is the expression of the Wisdom of God, the embodiment of
Light and the indicator of divine
purpose, cooperating at this festival with his brother the
Christ, who represents the Hierarchy. The Buddha embodies the
Principle of Light, and because of this
illumination humanity was able to recognize the Christ, embodiment of the still greater Principle of
Love.
Each year at the time of Wesak, two great streams of
energy — one focussed through the Buddha and the other through the Christ — are fused and blended, and it is the task of world servers to precipitate this combined energy into the waiting world.
The Wesak Festival is indeed a great spiritual event, with a powerful effect upon humanity. Groups of aspirants can at this time become channels for the higher
energies released through the medium of the two focal points — the Buddha, who represents the overlighting essence of
subjective realities, and the Christ, representative of aspiring humanity.
This is symbolized in religious rituals where the priest acts as the focal point; here, however, the priesthood in this great ceremony of contact is not a separate entity. All can be priests, the single qualification being the capacity to align oneself and be en rapport with the
Soul, and thus be able to cooperate with other souls.
Wesak is a time of unusual inflow of
life and of spiritual stimulation, serving to vitalize the
aspiration of all humanity. At the time of the festival, through the united effort of the
Christ and the Buddha working in closest cooperation, there is opened a channel of communication between humanity and deity through which an approach can be made to Those Who guide our planet, so that aspirants and
disciples are able to contact energies not otherwise easily available.
In mutual service to humanity, at Wesak the Buddha and the Christ bring about a linking that blends East and West, uniting the world's major religions in a shared holy day in which religious distinctions disappear. In the beautiful water ceremony of communion is portrayed the symbol of the new age which is upon us, the
Aquarian Age, the age of the Water Carrier.
During the Wesak Festival the Buddha becomes the "absorbing Agent" of Will. He uses the magnetic power of
Love-Wisdom to attract this force to Himself and hold it steady, prior to redirecting it. The Christ then — on behalf of the Hierarchy — becomes the "receiving Agent" of this potent energy and the groups of Masters Who work with the human and sub-human kingdoms (in response to His demand) become the "directing Agents" for the sevenfold expression of this force.
So around the Wesak Festival, expansions of consciousness are made possible that are not possible at other times. Those of
goodwill are stimulated spirtually to take
initiation, in order to penetrate more deeply and consciously into the mysteries of the Kingdom of
God. These reveal more about the wonder of our divinity, and about the
Plan to which humanity is conforming. Each year, the Wesak marks the beginning of a cycle for the
New Group of World Servers, that comprise three-year
cycles of crisis, tension, and emergence.
At the Wesak Festival we may honor the Buddha, as well as ourselves, as dedicated transmitters of the energy that can be contacted at the full moon in
Taurus. Each year as we experience the Wesak more consciously, it's important to hold the space for the inflow and distribution of energies, through
safeguarding.
The focussed interplay of many minds working together in
meditation produces a
unity of thought powerful enough to reach the Great Lives watching over and guiding our planet. And the combined aspiration, consecration, devotion and intelligence of the group carries everyone to greater heights than could be attained alone.
The greater the number of people who meditate at this time, the stronger the magnetic field of the group
heart and its invocative, indrawing power. It's up to each of us to attune with ever greater clarity to the note being sounded — to quiet the mind and transmute individual desires that only cause confusion and chaos, into
desire for the greatest good of all.
We know where we are aligned ... with the Source of all that is. That Source provides uniquely and cooperates with All who are tuned to Its note of Life.
