Dawnings

We have completed the ceremonial period of Wesak, and now we hold within us, the blessings of Buddha and the Christ. These are ours to savour, to digest and to contemplate for the next few weeks.

By the New Moon in Taurus on the 17^th May, we will feel and know what these streams of energy are showing us for our own personal lives and that of the kingdoms in our world.  For most of May, we will have the Sun streaming forth with the abundance and earthy natural beauty that is the blessing of Taurus.

When I began my journey around the planet I was aware of the message from ShaVrill at the Lecture in March – that our journeys to sacred places are to give gifts to the earth, not just to drain them of their power. Yes, we receive when we are in high energy places, but if the conscious ( or often unconscious) motivation is to GET, then we may be missing out on the opportunity to move into the next phase of evolution, that of CO – creation. 

Here at this Shrine to Ganesh in Kauai there are flowers, oranges and shells which are gifts from devotees. I felt immensely grateful when I was there and that sense of contented gratitude stayed with me for my journey, right until I returned home and experienced heart-strong appreciation for my cottage and friends and the life I have.  This perhaps then is one of the more subtle effects of Taurean energy. That we can for a few moments, feel contentment and appreciation for the natural beauty, for our own lives and yes, for the goods and chattels that bring comfort.

Blessings to you all,  With much appreciation for the brother/sisterhood that IS everywhere…

Lovingly, Hilary
