Let your Light shine …
The Total Solar Eclipse in Leo is at 8.11 pm on Friday 1st August here on the East coast of Ozland. Mercury is just ahead of the Sun and new Moon. Venus in Leo is opposite Neptune in Aquarius. The blessings from Sirius are streaming forth through Leo into our own Solar Village Light – our Sun and hence into our own hearts. Drink it in!
What do we love about ourselves and how does what we love about being ‘me’ fit into the larger family group of humanity?
Where on our natal chart is our moon and what house (area of experience) is illuminated by Leo (the heart of Life – the Sun)?
Our family and ancestral groups have in the past, deeply affected the way we see ourselves and how we are ‘supposed’ to shine – usually to fulfill a social agenda. We are a social species and we want so much to have others love in us what we love in ourselves. And we want people to love what we love. For over two thousand years we have been taught to Know and Love ourselves and henceforth each other – and Life.
This Eclipse will highlight our disillusionment about the world – about humanity especially. Hiding within this disappointment is a feeling that we have have ‘missed the mark’ and detoured from Eden. We humans have overdosed on a punishment /reward mentality, designed to shape and mould our uniqueness into a socially acceptable way of being. The root of this discomfort is an innate (dis)belief in our place in Creation, the Universe, the Grand design of Life itself. Many of our inherited religious and scientific teachings and doctrines perpetuate toxic thinking. Too many of our laws and societal norms confirm a presumption of original sin. We question our own right to exist. We compete with each other for life’s blessings.
There is enough to share and there are solutions to our problems. A truly heartfelt courage is now called for.
Our financial system is based on ‘credit’ – a word which is also defined as ‘worth’. A quantum leap of evolution could take place if we all simply lived within our means and refused to go into debt. The ‘value’ of all we have created would be eclipsed by the reality of a relative usefulness.
“See the Lilies of the Field – they toil not nor do they spin …”
Nature has a wonderful way of living and being all of its own accord: a flower, a tree, a butterfly, a bird, a cat – they all just are – beautifully adorned, supremely designed and each having its time and space to shine.
i.e. Until humanity comes along and kills the bees, pollutes the waters, devastates the land, fast tracks the growing of the animals for consumption and robs the flowers and plant kingdoms of their natural essence.
Why?
Humans are learning to ‘create beyond what is’ and that invariably involves a projection of ego in some way or another. We want to build and create in the image of the Creator – of life itself. Our cities and lifestyles have lost the delight of living in the push to prove how we can improve. Intellect predominates. It safisfieth not. There is more to learn - Consciousness.
Over the last few decades, ‘ego’ has become a negative word. Yet, without the ego, we are unable to know ourselves. The ego creates a defense system designed to protect our individuality. Letting it go seems to invite self annihilation and we are frantic to hold onto whatever it is that enables us to be different, separate and with something unique to offer.
My Shamballa training taught me that the ego protects this uniqueness and that our task is to embrace and consciously, purposefully, develop our individuality to contribute to a greater whole : A daffodil is ostentatious, a peacock shows itself to the world in all its glory, the sun shines unabashed. Each has its part to play and each contributes to the whole.
This nakedness and transparency of the soul shining forth is a major discovery in this world. Here, on Urth, in a planetary world of continually changing diversity, each blade of grass, each leaf, each flower, each soul each human – is different yet connected with a grouping of some kind or another. It is an intricately designed, precariously balanced and fascinating, symbiotic system. It works.
At this stage in the planet’s unfolding evolution, we are also growing beyond the original tribal, racial and familial groups that previously defined us. The fundamentalism within us seeks a stable base – definitive laws, creeds and beliefs that shape our outer world so that we feel safe enough to exist and perhaps to live creatively. The extent to which we have ‘sold out our souls’ for security and acceptance is being highlighted over this month. It is time to retrieve our Love of Life.
In people we admire, we seek out the characteristics we think we can emulate. The relatively recent phenomena of fame and celebrity glamour – reflect our desire to have someone shine on behalf of and for us. The truth is – each of us has a profound responsibility in each incarnation – to discover, nurture and fulfill at least some our potential in the unique being that we are for a fleeting moment in time.
Finding that core of energy that flows forth naturally, the spark of the divine which emanates as light and love to the world – is a noble task.
This Eclipse on the 1st August, is when the moon (emotional patterns and programming which helped us create a self identity) moves between our Urth (Diversity and active intelligence) and the Sun (Loving Wisdom and Wise Love). The later Eclipse on 16th August will unveil more for the species of humanity and its spiritual purpose.
If what we feel about ourselves and how we express that in the world, is not glowing naturally, the world is lesser. Our world needs us to love ourselves and each other and life generally.
When any of us truly knows within the heart and soul, that we are part of and carry the seed within us, of all creation and life, then we do indeed glow.
It is called presence and it is our original innocence. It is worthy. When we truly know it and feel it, we can ‘wear our crowns lightly’.
Self awareness and the Love of Life – of loving being our unique selves for this lifetime – sparks this conscious presence.
And the world is better for this.

Risa’s site describes the esoteric perspective of the Eclipses and the regal role of Leo.
Planet Waves ‘How to become Unstuck’, provides an interesting essay on the Aquarian role and the personal in the group. Eric’s daily Blog for the Eclipse describes in detail, the Nodes and Eclipses and is a brilliant summary for Baby Boomer students of Life. For the younger ones (X and Y generations) much is revealed about the current collective consciousness you have inherited and bear witness to today. The Way forward can therefore become clearer for us all.
Shine forth !

Full description at Astroblog:
On 19th June, Thursday morning around 3.32 am, AEST, the Full Moon in Sagittarius brings to a grand finale, this year’s Shamballa cycle. This is the third of the Full moons which realign our planetary world and therefore us humans as well, to the greater Universal Plan and our spiritual (soul ) purpose here on earth.
The Sun in Gemini magnifies our conscious awareness of our relationships – to each other, to the kingdoms with which we share the earth , and to Life itself.
This Full Moon is conjuncting the Galactic Core: i.e. the Sun is opposite the Galactic Core.
With Pluto returning to Sagittarius for a a few months and Mercury about to move forward again, we shall find this Full Moon/ Solstice few days quite significant on both inner and outer levels.
A profound time to realign with our Greater Purpose and be prepared to be shown/realise/release that which is no longer useful.
For an excellent audio description: Eric Francis of Planet waves
Holy Sprinkles and Blessings.
No commentsThe Shamballa Taurus Moons
The Wesak Taurus Sun/ Full Moon in Scorpio is on Sunday evening at 8.25 pm AEST.
Essentially, this week /weekend – provides us with an opportunity to finetune our commitment and expression in the world. The more we can align our own being with the Grander purpose and respond to the world need, the more fulfilled and conscious our lives become.
A more comprehensive file is available on the Shamballa School Page. This provides the actual charts.
* This weekend is hosting the Australian Summit. Yay!
[Excellent timing for Australia’s Summit. My own personal suggestion is that we create an official 'Tithing' column in our accounting and taxation system. This will enable us all to voluntarily direct 10% of our income to a social area of need. It may be environment, education, health, welfare, sport, the arts, social reform, community aid, animal welfare, food production, agricultural reform, transport reform and so on. Essentially, this will reduce our Gross Income by 10% whilst boosting various streams of societal development. It will also facilitate a sense of active involvement in the fiscal policies and management of our Australian society 
]
May Light stream forth into minds
and Love stream forth into hearts,
and the power of collective will,
restore, manifest and preserve the Divine Plan for Urth:
The Plan? That this planetary world gradually and surely, become a Sacred planet.
Blessing and Blessed Be …
No commentsThe Divine Spark
We have entered the Shamballa Cycles and the first new moon is in Aries on Sunday 6 April at 1.55 pm. The essence of life is the eternal dynamic – the offering of new beginnings. Infinity grants us – new horizons, new unthought of possibilities, new landscapes, new ideas, new ways of doing and being and living. The Tree of Life beckons.
No comments“The new moon in Aries forms a Cardinal T-square with Mars in Cancer and Jupiter in Capricorn. Light a candle, say a prayer, enliven those seeds within – protect them, nurture them, create and externalise and become them (through time). Do it for you and for our world, for all of our sakes. Gifts of patience and integrity, care and courage, feed the soul.
The T-square is holding an energy patterning, encoding our world, with the power and strength and spirit of the Divine that is integrity of being.
B E – IN – G
BE –G – IN
We begin, again. Blessings of the new moon.”
Earth Abides
We can enjoy the clear night sky of a New Moon in Taurus for deep ponderance upon the materialism that has swamped our consciousness for too long.
This is the mid point of the Shamballa cycle. The downloading of the Buddhic and Christ energy is at its rest point. The encoding of Light is a slow and careful process. It is not a saturating and overwhelming epiphany. Rather, it is careful and thoughtful experience whereby that which is appropriate for each of us personally, may filter into our everyday consciousness in the subtle ways: through dreams, glimpses, sensing, perhaps the flutter of an idea.
Like the flowers in the photo, we are growing a new way of being upon the old material consciousness that has blocked our spirits and drained our own energies and the earth’s resources.
This is the time to feeeel the ability to grow anew, in more naturally beautiful and sentient forms. The mystery of life is there for us to know. The current preoccupation with manifestation, prosperity, having what we want – the modern packaging of The Secret – is a distraction for it ties us back into the loop that denies the essence of Life itself. Nurturance of Life and embracing of the Life force will bring back the bees. Increasing personal wealth for few at the expense of the many, will not.
Politicians have been preoccupied with what will sustain their power base and what will maintain control of the economy and societies. They too, will indeed begin anew, seeking instead the Path of knowing, of Wisdom, of the nurturance of Life and usefulness.
Soldiers will be too busy assisting in the caring of people to be preoccupied with destruction of civilisations, cultures, creeds and humans that are not their concern.
And we the People? A local shopkeeper suggests that we all go on strike at the next election and refuse to vote at all, for the social system as it is does NOT serve us, our children or even our current lifestyles. We laughed at the ridiculous notion of party politics artificially divided between Liberal (business) and Labour (the workers). Should he vote one way, and his staff the other? It is indeed time for round table politics, for bi-partisan and concerted cooperative efforts to find and implement solutions that are constructive and nurturing of life, of people, of our very earth itself.
Now is the time to jot down those flickers of insights, those wisps of ideas, those slowly growing realisations.
By the Full Moon on June 1st, ALL of humanity will be showered upon and shall be growing anew.

** The New Moon in Taurus is exact on Thursday, 17th May at 5.27 am. (AEST)
The Burning Ground
Here in the Land of Oz we are well acquainted with the phenomena of fire and how it regenerates many plant forms that do not seed unless they are burned. The gumnut blossoms pictured here are beautiful and their flower petals are soft and delicate to touch. Yet they flower on the hardy gums which survive in the harsh Australian summer. It is an appropriate vision on which to ponder.
The Grand Trine in Fire that is holding form in our solar village at present is a reminder of the healing properties of the fiery spirit which is expressing itself in our world. In the esoteric writings of the Tibetan Master DK, he speaks of ‘the burning ground’.* It describes a stage of initiation that is a required and necessary prelude to a great release. It is apt to focus on this now as the Grand Trine links Jupiter in Sagittarius, Saturn in Leo and Venus in Aries. These 3 planets link to Neptune forming a Kite – which is the release of new impulses of spirit from deep within the human species.
Hidden away in Pisces are three foci quietly moving into a major conjunction. They are Mercury, our humans cognitive minds; the Karmic North Node; and Uranus, the enlightener. Not many people can handle lightning through their bodies, but we hear the stories of people who do. Such is the power of Uranus for it is one of those ‘outer’ planets – a transpersonal one that influences entire generational soul groups. It has an interesting link to Sirius, the bright blue star we see at night. According to scientists, it takes 8.6 years for the Light from Sirius to reach our planet. Uranus has an approximately 8 year cycle. 8 is also the cosmic lemniscate depicting infinity and is often referred to as the number of the Christ. This all links together because what is hidden there in Pisces, is our Christing.
The Sojourn with ShaVrill (our original team from Shamballa), was held on Saturday just prior to the Full Moon Eclipse. We were advised to indulge in the ritual of washing our feet. We were instructed to literally scrub away the residue of the Path we have trodden until now and anoint our feet to find the Way through to the next Stage of The Path which is new, unknown and to be created as we go. Many of us did this and are wondering if this was the meaning behind the ritual recorded at the time of the Christ’s incarnation. It is a wonderfully releasing and nurturing physical, emotional, mental and spiritual experience. This Grand trine in fire links directly to the Full Moon in Aries, the Easter Full Moon, the time of the releasing of the Christ seed and the resurrecting of our divinity within our planetary world. It may take a while to settle, to gestate, to surface and flower, but it eventually does.These two March Eclipses are like pillars that border a corridor between now and the September Eclipses in the same signs. The Virgo chrysalis holds deep within it the Pisces Christ seed.It may seem twee to remind ourselves to have Faith in the Will-To-Good that IS emerging within our human species. I feel intuitively that this Grand Trine now will burn the ground that will release the seeds at Easter. Much is hidden and much is to be revealed. Some, we may not like, but it is always good when Truth emerges for it stands on its own, unchallenged. It is easier to ‘cope’ when we KNOW we are dealing with reality. On a personal level, many will agree, that deception, and not knowing, is harder to process than the Truth.We do not always know how this Christing emerges – sometimes it is fiery, sometimes breezy, or perhaps gentle and kind. It is always wise, loving and brings miraculous healing. The gospels and writings we have as records of the Christ may be embellished, but his teachings are more important than any phenomena associated with the life of that Avatar. We tend to glamorise great beings and wise Teachers, and hold onto the often fabricated stories. We create religions around these events and people and in that, we may well be missing the essential Truth of their teachings.
Regardless of our mental capabilities, our beliefs or our cultural heritage, the Christing of humanity is well and truly seeded and its flourishing depends upon our own readiness and willingness to integrate the energies. He demonstrated the Solar Ray of Love – Wisdom and since that time, humanity has been opening from the solar plexus to the heart chakra, and from our secular planetary world, to the greater Solar Village.
I suggest you keep a copy of this posting printed out to read with the next memo – which shall be my last until Easter itself. I shall be in transit across the planet shortly and the Easter message will be written within the blessed energies of Hawaii and the mainland of USA.
For now, Venus is a fiery Goddess – and every culture has a name for her! It is interesting to see the Women’s collective movement rising in fury at the inequality of pay and opportunities in our still very patriarchal (Saturn in Leo) world. That is more obvious in some cultures than in others, but the hidden is indeed more difficult to tag.
Ponder upon the pottery vase, the vessel holding the precious water which nurtures the flowering branches. Beautiful Venus will be in earthy Taurus at the time of the Easter Full Moon.
We continue then to know and renew ourselves deep within, for the Truth will release our true beauty through faith, hope and Love.
Blessings.

Whoa! The Sun conjunct Pluto and both aligning with the Galactic Centre – is causing a strong pull on our centres. Exact Tuesday 19th around 11.00 am AEDT.
Yes I know, our daily 3rd dimensional life is a week before Christmas and the mayhem is increasing. Jolly hoho – seven more sleeps! Lots of card writing, prezzie wrapping, dashing here and there and sing a lings.
Do try to grab some quiet moments to align your chakras with the Galactic Core. This can be done easily enough if you lie down on the ground and invite the light of the sun through each chakra. Do include the 8th, the Cosmic chakra. This one vibrates to the colour spectrum we experience as aquamarine.
Then when you are ready, roll over and stretch back into the yoga ‘pose of the child’. Rest. Gradually stand up and, with hands interlinked , raise the arms in front of you, above the head, with your third eye to the Sun. Then turn around and do the same drawing the sunlight into the point at the base of the skull. Breathe the sunlight in and out of your body. It is helping us to adapt!
I’ve been sending a cheery wave and the Gratitude symbol to the Core all day. My golden reindeer ears nodding above my grin with the gap in my teeth – gave the locals a laugh as I trotted around busy, busy, busy. I am grateful for the rain coming in folks – soooo needed here in Victoria!
The New Moon in Sagittarius is on Thursday around 1.00 am AEDT. Think of emotional freedom. Then on Friday 22nd, the Solstice point in time is at 11.14 am. AEDT when the Sun enters Capricorn and the Discipleship Path beckons onwards towards the mountain top of Initiation. Christmas Day will continue this theme.
All three times: Sun/Pluto/Galactic Core + New Moon + Solstice are poignant moments in time/space for us to align with each other, the earth and the heavens. Keep it simple.
For those able to take the time to visualise, I shall be sitting down at the beach in view of Cape Schanck for the Solstice and linking in with Uluru, then across to Risa’s group in Talequah, Oklahoma, USA. [http://www.sanctasophia.org/ ] See Risa’s weekly posting for the meditation guide. http://www.nightlightnews.com/ Many of you will experience the familiarity with Shamballa … the timing links us together here, in our 3/4th dimensional world.
We are Here, Now!
Blessings… 
Twelves and singing.
This pic was of the internet connections created a couple of years ago. Today we are connecting in so many ways across our globe: by radio, television, phones, internet, skype, and yes, in person as we are so mobile and so many are free to travel.
We are also connecting in the 4th dimensional plane of the mind. This was proved in the Harmonic Convergence of 1987. Many are noticing synchronicities, telepathic type flashes, shared dreams and visions … so many stories are emerging.
The 4th and 5th dimensional conscious linking is consolidating, confirming and crystallising our organised and conscious unity. It is very 7th Ray, inclusive and rhythmic. Each time we say the Great Invocation, or the Kodoish, or any prayers that unite us, we are linking together 5th dimensionally, through our 4th dimensional minds.
We humans connect daily like this, through sports events, news telecasts, and those songs we sing as we move about our lives. It no longer needs to be so organised, but can happen quite spontaneously. When it is consciously co-ordinated, it can take us into a sacred space. We are only just beginning to play with this, so we do not know what effect it all has. Tests have been done on energy changes around the planet. Something happens.
Since the time threshold of 12.12 we are catapulting into the next stage of accelerated evolution as a planet and as a humanity. Twelves feature in esoterica : and we are singing along the string of time counting down the 12 days to Christmas.
So yohoho and jingle bells to all. Today being Hannukah, the Kodoish is appropriate for some. Whatever our religion, we have songs to sing and tunes to hummmm.
The New Moon and Solstice happen within a day/night next week. Students of Shamballa will find on Risa’s latest weekly posting, a yummy invitation to join across the world as we venture into the sacred space of Shamballa in the 5th dimensional plane together. [www.nightlightnews.com]
Until then, enjoy the lifting of the human spirit through song, through cooking and social groups, through good cheer and the creating of sacred spaces. ‘Tis fun, creative and inspiring.
Lalala lala la lalala.
No commentsHallelujah, Venus, Pluto and Galactic Centre
If you take the time to venture outside this evening and look for the Evening Star, there she will be … Venus! What we cannot see with our human eyes, is Pluto, directly behind her. Esoteric legend describes Pluto as guardian of our evolutionary agenda, that which determines the life/death/life cycle on personal and aeonic levels.
The two are lined up with the Galactic Centre. Today, this evening, we can smile at Venus, thank her for being our Big Sister and guardian of our Higher Selves and the Divine Plan. She stands between us and Pluto as they align with the Galactic Centre. Time for the Hallelujah Chorus!
The meeting of our Hearts brings Love into the World.
The meeting of our Minds brings Light into the World.
The merging of our Spirits is our Calling.
We are here,
NOW. *

Into the Light
We are emerging from the Scorpio underworld and into the Light.
The Sun and Moon have entered Sagittarius and on November 24th, Royal Jupiter returns to one of its home bases. Jupiter and Saggie’s love the Big Picture. Over the next year, we are in for a treat, with the Sun, Venus, Mercury, Pluto and Mars taking turns to dance a tango with the Galactic Centre.
Sagittarius is usually adventurous, visionary and futuristic, and now, the alignment with the Galactic Centre takes us “out there” into the Cosmos. Thanks to our modern telescopes and Internet/media, we get to know it is happening.
Esoterically, the Big Picture is that our planet, Urth, (to distinguish its name from the element earth), a Mansion world for incarnating souls in the Universal region of Ur (ref. Urantia books), is becoming a Sacred Planet. This is the agenda of the World Servers working with the Masters and Teachers of Shamballa, as we join across the global world in saying the Great Invocation to restore, manifest and preserve the Divine Plan for this wonderful little world of ours. Now stating this, publicly, is dragging the Truth out of the mothballs of the Occult Mystery Schools. It’s time.
The planetary Logos is working very hard to include all its kingdoms in the transition.
As it aligns with the Galactic Centre, its agenda and timing is paramount. We are in for the ride. To be here, now, is a rare and glorious experience.
At the Annual Shamballa Lecture in October, we were given the keys to sovereignty upon which to ponder. These are (think triangular, not sequential):
∆ Detached observation
∆ Honesty and integrity
∆ Intelligent activity
I shall enlarge upon these keys in January when the Sun in Capricorn gives us time and space for contemplation. Meanwhile, if this is the biggest picture we have at present, which is as real as we can get as it is verified by our scientists, and forecast by astrology, religions, and prophecies, then …
Open s-l-o-w-l-y to your own experience of intuitive knowing.
The Light shineth …
