Excerpt from Nature-Speak: Signs, Omens & Messages in Nature by Ted Andrews

The Ancient Mysteries call forth a return to Nature’s rhythms on an intuitive level. Spirit and Nature in Harmony! The earth seasons are designed to promote specific evolutionary needs. The autumn is the seed planting time; the winter is the gestation of the seed and the taking root. The spring is the bursting forth of those new seeds to release new aspiring life to be harvested in the summer. These are always reflected in the hidden mysteries of Nature.

The spring equinox opens the veil between the physical and the spiritual so that a resurrection in our lives can be inaugurated. The keynote of this season is creation. It is the drive to move our lives upward, like a seed pushing forth out of the earth into the air. The spring is the time when the creative powers we have been nurturing through the winter can be expressed to initiate a new world of opportunities for ourselves.

It is at this time of the year that the sun leaves the water sign of Pisces and enters into Aries, the creative fire sign. Fire was always regarded as something mysterious. Many traditions speak of how fire first belonged to the gods. Plentiful are the myths of the ancient firestealers and the creation of humanity. It is an element, which consumes and changes — it is both destructive and creative.

Aries is the fire sign of new beginnings, and much esoteric significance is attributed to this time of the year. The ancient Hebrew tradition speaks of how God fashioned the world at this time and that Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt in the spring. Resurrection myths, associated with the spring season abound — from Christ Jesus to Osiris of Egypt, Adonis of Babylon, and Tammuz of Sumeria. In the Roman Mysteries, people celebrated the death and resurrection of Attis at this time of the year.

This is the time for the fires of the new. The spring is the beginning of the alchemical process of the seasonal changes. Because much of humanity has lost the sensitivity to attune to the seasons, it is increasingly important for the student of the spiritual mysteries to recognize that each season, each day, and even each hour has its own peculiar quality. We must learn to attune to them to take advantage of them. We are being exposed to a universal cycle of influence.

While the winter season is the time of the Feminine Mysteries (the water element), the spring season is the time for the Masculine Mysteries (the fire element). The time of the equinox is the time of the alchemical and magical blending of water and fire. The living waters within us are flooded with a new radiance so that they can be expressed more fully within our life circumstances. This is the time, which releases energies that manifest opportunity to understand the mystery of polarity. We understand the importance of balancing the masculine, and feminine so they can eventually be blended to create new life. Spiritually and physically, this is a time of great creative expression. In the Northern Hemisphere, the creative forces begin to grow. There is fresh outburst of exuberant life and it holds many opportunities for those who align with its rhythms and forces:

– It is an excellent time to initiate a new order within your life.

– It is an ideal time for burning out the old — the burning of the dross — so that new seeds have room to sprout and be given new expression.

– It is also a time in which the veil between the physical and the spiritual is thinned, creating opportunities to access and invoke dynamic spiritual energy into one’s life.

– Its energy can be used to accelerate our own growth or to open new patterns for it throughout the rest of the spring.

– It is an excellent time to invoke energy that will assist you in making things new within all areas of your life.

– The inner temples are more accessible so that the secrets of life can be more deeply attuned to.

– It is a powerful time for releasing fiery healing energies.

– For the advanced disciple it is an ideal time to fashion the soul body so that the individual can function consciously in the spiritual world.

For the true student of the spiritual mysteries, it is during the spring that the energy is available that facilitates the undergoing of discipleship. The individual must learn to roll away the stones of personal and sense limitation and come forth, bringing the Inner Light out into the external world. At this time of the year, the individual can open to the path of probation and learn to access the vibrant force of the planet to heal the self and others — especially through the world of Nature (Opportunities to discover the healing power and magic of plants often open as a doorway to those who have been seeking.) Any study of the healings performed by ancient masters can assist the individual in understanding the intricate play of energy within humanity’s life.

This is the time to focus upon conscious transmutation. It is the ideal time to assert the will force over the personality. It is a time to balance polarities. This balance is necessary to comprehend the significance of the greatest symbol of this season. That is the symbol of the Holy Grail. The Mystery of the Grail is intricate and has many levels. For most involved with the Nature’s mysteries, initially it is the blessing of both the male and the female.

The Third Eye chakra is the sixth chakra in the body’s energy system. The purpose of the Third Eye chakra is to help you to gain awareness of your higher self and the existence of a greater life force. By gaining awareness of your higher self, you realize that there is something beyond yourself, a higher life force that connects everyone in the Universe. From this realization, you gain faith, hope, and peace.

The Third eye chakra strengthens intuition and sparks imagination. It uses your imagination and intuition to help you align with your true path. It enables you to think outside of the box and find solutions to blockages in your life.

A well-balanced third eye chakra helps you dream of possibilities of what could be, while you are still conscious of reality. An imbalanced third eye chakra creates a fantasy, a non-existent reality, which is an escape from reality.

Place one of the third eye chakra crystals— blue tourmaline, blue sapphire or opal— on your forehead between your brows. Try to be aware of the heaviness of the crystal as it sits on top your forehead. Take a moment to sense the shape of the crystal.

Kara Schallock ~ March Gateway: Equinox & Lunar Eclipse – 17-Mar-2016

In just a few days on March 19th at 10:30 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time (4:30 UTC), we have an Equinox. This occurs in the middle of a powerful Gateway, which began with the Solar Eclipse/New Moon on March 8 and concludes with the Lunar eclipse/Full Moon next Wednesday, March 23rd. The Equinox is a full embodiment of the Divine Feminine, empowering the Balance of the Lunar and Solar Eclipses (Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine). This Equinox symbolizes all things new in the Northern Hemisphere, while it is a complete Balance for the Southern Hemisphere.
During this time, we (and continue to) receive many Light Codes that heighten our consciousness. Because of so much Light entering us, feeding our cells and DNA, much also comes to the surface from the depths of our subconscious in order to love, transform and release…to make room for more and more Light. The Divine Feminine/Source leads the way, empowering all that we set forth on the New Moon/Solar Eclipse. It is a shift from the old patriarchy to the new matriarchy to the complete Balance of both. The old patriarchy is replaced by the Divine Masculine; that energy that supports the Divine Feminine. Did you know that Archangel Amabael (Divine Mother Mary) taught both Yeshua and Mary of Magdala how to embrace their own Divinity and Source-Selves? The Goddess takes Her rightful place again, leading the way. We feel this as our Soul-voice. Our Soul leads our separate ego and helps our separate ego become One with our Soul. Through this, our High Mind is activated, which is a blending of Heart and intellect, for one without the other is incomplete. The High Mind then offers the gift of being able to articulate the feelings of the Heart and Soul.
Our Christ Consciousness is expanded and empowered during this time. Christ Consciousness is not based on the man Yeshua, but is actually Source Consciousness. While Christ/Source Consciousness is enhanced within us, we feel it through our Awareness, which helps us make choices that are aligned with Source and Soul, rather than being based on separate ego desires. Thus the Light Codes and Christ Consciousness further support our Ascension; the bringing of “Heaven” to Earth (not Earth to “Heaven”). As we balance and integrate it all, we are both strong and vulnerable; powerful and open. To be vulnerable is to be open-hearted; that is, to be Love, our natural state of being. Vulnerability in the old meant that we were fragile and had to protect ourselves from lower forces. Because we are so much Love now, we may realize that Love is more powerful than fear and there is no need to protect ourselves. Still, many are in different phases of their Ascension, so may be guided to protect themselves. Do remain vulnerable though; that is, open-hearted. There is nothing to fear. Love embraces fear, soothes it and transforms it. That is how powerful Love is; that is how powerful we are.
Some time on the day of the Eclipse, open up and receive the Light Codes of the Divine Feminine/Source. Open your chakras by spiraling them open and afterward, spiral them closed. This brings Light into them and into your endocrine system. If you are guided to be with others or be by yourself, it matters not, for we are all connected as One, regardless of where you are. Simply follow your guidance and invite the Goddess into you. When one receives, we all receive. Do the same on the Lunar Eclipse.
There are so many changes taking place, as the sands are shifting. Wherever you place your attention is what becomes solid (for now). If you are focused on the negativity of the old, that is what solidifies, so keep your thoughts and feelings as high and as positive as you can. Remember that fear and any lower energies are illusions (illusions are things that shift) and only Love is real. The Awareness you upgrade goes through many lifetimes. This means that there is wholing in all your lifetimes, as well as the integration of your gifts from those lifetimes, even those you are currently unaware that you have. The changes you experience are your Awareness expanding as well as an integration of Light Source Codes within you. By being in Allowance, all this occurs, so let go of any resistance you have to any perceived changes…allow and flow.
During this time of the Gateway (March 8 through March 23rd), observe what you feel. If it feels uncomfortable, ask if it is because you’re shifting or if there are some old emotions surfacing. It is natural to feel uncomfortable with changes, as we do with anything new. And then it takes time to integrate the New. The New, by the way, is definitely not for the ones who like things to remain the same, for that just won’t happen in the New. We continue to shift and expand into being more and more, so your comfort is in staying centered in your Heart, while shifting occurs continuously. If your discomfort is because old emotions are surfacing, go deeper and find the belief that is creating the emotion and release that. When you release the old, you make room for the New to enter. If change is scary for you, hold your Inner Child and separate ego in your lap and love and assure them that all is truly wonderful. Your Inner Child will then assure you that you are safe, loved and Divine.
With this Gateway, we ascend to yet another new level of New. How this feels is unique for each person, yet generally speaking, one is more aware and senses may be more acute. Intuition is increased and a deeper connection to Soul is phenomenal. There is a merging of Soul and ego, more Heart and mind blending (High Mind) and clear guidance. As this occurs, you are in Divine Service, for Divine Service is not necessarily a career or job, but how you express yourself in every moment no matter where you are or what you do. Service is essence. There may be a form, yet it is not necessary, for simply being authentic is enough to shine your Light. It is a living meditation in that there is no separation between your meditative life and your everyday life. Therefore, this is truly a time to integrate Love into every atom and molecule that you are. From this place of Love, you will be inwardly guided to take action in some area; whether that is a form of service or an act of Love; simply follow what your inner guidance (Soul) is moving you towards. When you are all of who you are, so is Gaia.
The period we are in, between Eclipses, is quite powerful as anything we intend creates life. Be sure to intend from your Soul’s Guidance and not from your separate ego’s desires. Oftentimes, a person who intends something is coming from their intellect and from lack; wanting something they perceive they don’t have. There is also an energy of wishing and hoping and these do not manifest anything. To manifest, one must be clear of all lack energy and intend from the Soul, as well as Heart-know that what they intend is already within them. Do you feel the difference? If you are not clear, nothing will manifest except confusion. It is best to simply meditate on Clarity before you use intentions. If you still are in lack consciousness, intentions will bring more lack to you. Energy responds neutrally…it responds to who you truly are within. Wishful thinking and hoping simply bring more wishful thinking and hoping. The Power of this time will help you manifest whatever is within you. If you truly know with all of you that you are abundant and that you are Love, you will manifest more of what you are.
Since most of the world is still in the old, it may feel as though you are straddling both worlds. We are more New than old and depending on where you place your focus is what you empower. We are creating and at the same time, releasing.
Using the energy of the Equinox, we can further simplify and energize our lives. This can mean letting go of anything that does not inspire or is useful. Of course, this includes people, things and beliefs. Doing things mindfully helps greatly and this can be anything from changing the most mundane chore to something different. For instance, changing the way you brush your teeth or drive to work…as little as these things seem, it shifts the energy. Doing something you normally don’t do also helps. Be sure to laugh, play and appreciate all the Beauty in yourself, others and in the world. Begin something new.
The Lunar Eclipse of next week will help us be more introspective, as we go within with more Awareness. We can see how we express ourselves in the world, including with those closest to us. We can see where we limit ourselves and change it, if we choose to. Be gentle with yourself, for that helps you to flow with the energies. Earthing and Sun Gazing help you to ground to Earth and receive Light from our Galactic Sun through our own sun. Doing this brings much symbolic information (Sun Gazing) that helps us evolve. You needn’t know what the information is or what it means, for that empowers the separation between intellect and Heart. If you are meant to know, you will. More and more folks are using Light Language and many more will receive this gift. If you are not one, find someone who has this gift and listen with your entire being; feel it. These folks are sharing the Light Codes through their voice and by listening to them, we receive Light Codes. There are others who bring forth Light Codes through their writing, speaking and art as well.
Mostly, it is important to feel everything. Your feelings guide you. Use Discernment when listening to someone else and even with the information you receive. Trust that you are evolving and that all is as it is intended for your highest expression of Love.
To enhance all of our wholing and expansion, we will be visited by a green comet (wholing and expansion of the Heart) on March 21. Now, isn’t that just perfect to have this visitation during this Gateway?!? We could also have a meteor shower afterward as well. To me, this is a celebration of us and of Gaia.

Daily Angel Oracle Card: MA’AT ~ Truth, from the Anubis Oracle Card deck, by Nicki Skully and Linda Star Wolf

MA’AT ~ Truth: “Radiance ~ Balance”

MA’AT is the eternal divinity who has created order from chaos since the beginning. She represents cosmic law, divine order, and justice; she is also the balance for which we strive. Her symbol is the ostrich feather, which represents truth – cosmic truth, not relative truth.

MA’AT is the powerful balancer and adjuster who helps us to accept and love the truth about ourselves. “The light, the dark – no difference.” Her brilliant radiance reflects our own light back to us so that we may truly see who we are and know where our work lies as we move toward greater wholeness. She is the Regal Mistress who reigns over the Hall of Mirrors. She sees beyond right and wrong and creates divine justice in our affairs. All beings serve this radiant one, for she embodies the rule of cosmic law.

All beings serve this radiant one, for she embodies the rule of cosmic law.

Her very being provides nourishment for the gods, and the Neteru thrive in and through us when we express MA’AT  in our lives. In death, our hearts are weighed against the feather of MA’AT  and must be found to be as light so that we may awaken as Osiris, the gold of every ancient Egyptian. We lighten our hearts through self acceptance and self love. Pulling this card indicated that MA’AT  is giving you the opportunity to see yourself clearly and love and accept yourself just as you are.

Take some moments to merge with MA’AT and feel the adjustment and balance she brings to your heart. As you gaze into her radiant brilliance, you can glimpse a truth that might have evaded you until now. Learning to express MA’AT  is a prerequisite to moving to the next level of consciousness. In your outer world, she may be restoring a greater balance and creating order in the wake of some chaotic situation that has occurred in your life. Take the time and make the space to let in the order MA’AT  brings.”*

Goddess MA’AT knows the secrets we hold deep within our hearts.  She sees the weight of Karma over our lifetimes. She knows when we have our intention truly set for the Highest Good of All, and she knows when we have slipped up and let our ego’s take the reins. She is about trust, abundance and Faith in the Universe’s ability to provide for us in every aspect. For if we held the conviction in our hearts that All is possible through our Faith; then we would never have to base our decisions on Lack Mentality. With absolute trust we would never need seek revenge; we would never need to hoard our share in case another was to take it; we would never feel the need to be mean or spiteful in order to protect our hearts. Instead, we would intend to live our lives full of passion and joy; finding our fulfillment in serving others to the best of our ability.

This is the scale that MA’AT uses to balance the weight of our heart against, using her Divine Ostrich feather; for when we can find love where we would previously have found fear, we can move into the Light of pure Christ Consciousness. This will lift the weight of Karma from our hearts, and let us fly free.

Hearts, minds and spirits light as feathers.

And so it is.

Namaste
