| | | | | | Hi Friend,
This is a very special time of year. Have you noticed the quality of light at the moment? As we become more sensitive to subtle energies our intuition (in other words our ability to perceive subtler and subtler qualities of light and energy) becomes more acute. You may have noticed that this time of year the quality of light is different. This is partly due to the changing position of the Sun but it is also more than that. In Esoteric Astrology, by Alice Bailey, the twelve Zodiac signs are twelve 'angels' or Divine Intelligences and each one holds custody over our care for a particular stage of the yearly cycle.

"Every blade of grass has an angel that bends over it and whispers, Grow! Grow!"
- The Talmud
On Sunday April 20th, not only was it Easter Sunday, but the Sun also moved into Taurus marking the beginning of Taurus Season. Esoterically the sign of Taurus is associated with illumination and the opening of the third eye. Every year at this time humanity has an opportunity to make a quantum leap in consciousness and exponentially advance our spiritual development.
We are currently in a yearly event that the Tibetan (in Esoteric Astrology) called the three great spiritual festivals:
this begins at Easter (around the time of the Full Moon in Aries) with the festival of the risen Christ; continues at Wesak which is the festival of the Buddha (at the time of the Full Moon in Taurus); and the cycle completes with 'Goodwill', which is the festival of Humanity (at the time of the Full Moon in Gemini).
These three festivals mark a time of year when the prevailing energies expand our perception and clear the way for our spiritual unfoldment. Taurus Season is about our capacity for light and, in particular, our ability for integrating light into the physical body. Taurus is an earth sign and so is very much associated with physical forms, in particular the physical body. Taurus is also closely associated with the 'fruits of the earth': minerals, crystals… and diamonds. Ruled by Venus at the personality level, Taurus is all about beauty - which is harmony in physical form. At Soul level Taurus is ruled by the sacred and hidden planet of Vulcan the 'blacksmith' of the Gods who transforms physical forms through the fires of purification. Venus is also considered a sacred planet, so Taurus is deeply involved with the sacred purpose of form, illumination and the integration of light into physical form. No accident that the Buddha himself had six planets in Taurus.
In Esoteric Astrology the keynote for Taurus is:
"I see and when the eye is opened, all is light"
- The Tibetan, Esoteric Astrology
This same theme is echoed in the Bible, in Luke 11:34, where it is written:
"when your eye is clear,
your whole body also is full of light;"
- New American Standard Bible
In Tibetan Buddhism it is taught that we all have a 'light body' or 'Vajra body'. "Vajra' is Sanskrit for 'diamond' and it is said that it is this aspect of ourselves which is indestructible (like a diamond). We don't have to do anything to create this light body because it already exists, all we need to do is to recognize it and create the right conditions for it's unfoldment. When a diamond is first dug out of the ground it is covered with earth and looks like a dirty old rock. Nothing like the crystal clear, multifaceted, polished diamonds that we are familiar with. Likewise our own light body has been covered with many lifetimes of social and familial conditioning, yet all we need to do to reveal it is to keep our attention on our own presence, the 'light of our awareness'. When we do this diligently our innate light begins to shine through naturally. This is what is meant by 'keeping our eye clear'.
This time of year is an important opportunity to open our hearts, be as clear as possible, and allow our bodies to be 'filled with light'. As we continue through the forthcoming festivals of Wesak and Goodwill, you can maximize your potential for spiritual growth and illumination by:
• being aware of your own presence,
• being as clear as you can in any moment,
• being pristine in all your relating,
• holding the highest of intentions for yourself, and our human family.
On the most practical level it is the perfect time for 'spring cleaning'! Especially cleaning your windows, so your physical windows become symbols for your eyes 'the windows of the Soul'. So both inside and out you are 'keeping your eyes clear', reaffirming to the Universe your willingness to let in more light, and allow your own inner light to shine ever more brightly into the world!
That's all for now see you next time, and in the meantime... happy exploring!
