THE SUPERNAL LIGHT pours through CAPRICORN
"Does it mean anything to you when I say that the ceremonial ritual of the daily life of Sanat Kumara [God] implemented by music and sound and carried on the waves of colour which break upon the shores of the three worlds of human evolution, reveal—in the clearest notes and tones and shades—the deepest secret behind His purpose? It scarcely makes sense to you and is dismissed as a piece of symbolic writing, used by me in order to convey the unconveyable. Yet I am not here writing in symbols, but am making an exact statement of fact. As beauty in any of its greater forms breaks upon the human consciousness, a dim sense is thereby conveyed of the ritual of Sanat Kumara's daily living. More I cannot say." (R&I, 246/7)

OPENING MEDITATION
∆ In the stillness of the Soul, envision a brilliant Light composed of myriads of Souls standing in resonance with “the great potency of the inner Groups” — in whose center stands the Lord of Love, the planetary Christ.
Light a Light unto Him — Earth’s ordained representative, transmitting the Fire of Divine Love of the Solar Logos. Sounding the sacred Word, OM, come closer to the Exalted One, the Blessed One standing before us.
Be now held in the loving, uplifting embrace of His Holy Presence … generating a Christic field for all Souls herein gathered.
We, Conscious serving Groups, are living conduits for the greater Light, Love and Life flowing through the Soul of Humanity as the Solar Logos makes contact with His Center, Earth, "opening the Way."
Let us now hold in mind the meaning of the Advent of the Light … embracing the coming Light of the Solar Lord of Love making contact in planetary alignment on this Solstice Day — pouring Universal Love through His creation to and through the Earth and all life upon it … stimulating the Life of the Lord of the World … the Christ and spiritual Hierarchy … all Humanity … the light in every living thing — the Light of Life Itself.
Sounding the sacred Word OM, moving through the unmanifest and manifest worlds … we awaken to a New Day.
The Sun entering Capricorn on Solstice Day brings “Supernal Light” … streaming through the Universe. Symbolized by a rising Sun, we enter into the Breath of Spirit streaming through the Solar System … all its Planets and lives therein — the Centers of His radiant Body ... and Ours — to and through All where on earth we live.
In our conscious awareness, let us be with the energy of the Light of Capricorn — the Supernal Light of 7-Ray energies flowing through our solar system … contacting conscious Souls as we move more deeply into the sacred Silence— renewing Light entering the world … Solstice …. standing still. OM

Paths of Light in the DarknesS
*Deep is the Stillness, Deep is the Darkness,
We call to the Light to Come through the Silence
Deep is the Stillness,
Deep is the Love rising with the Light of the Planetary Lord,
Deep is the Stillness, deep is the Darkness,
Making oblations of all we have Lost
and all we shall Gain.
Deep is the Stillness found through the Silence.
Diamonds rising through the Souls of all form,
Rising in the Light of Love
Whence Life Itself is Born.
On this Day of the Longest Night ~
*Everything is Holy Now.
ʘ
“LO, I am with you all the days,
even unto the end of the world”
“Christ guarantees for us the reality of the inner significance and the true spiritual basis of all that is and ever shall be.
Out of the relation of light and dark that which is invisible emerges into visibility, and we can see and know.
Christ, as the Light of the World, revealed that reality.
Out of the darkness of time God spoke, and the Fatherhood of Deity was revealed.”
(Esoteric Psychology-I, 285/6)
Contemplate in the silence of purity
I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Contemplate
— THE WINTER SOLSTICE is the esoteric cause of CHRISTMAS —
As the Cosmic CHRIST releases New Light into the World,
COSMIC Gift Waves of supernal light wash over the Earth,
giving birth to the “New.”
The Will of God initiates a new cycle through Earth’s Centers
brushing Earth’s mountains, seas, planes and valleys with Beauty.
A Solar stillness descends,
flooding every Moment of NOW.
In this renewing LIGHT We are Born anew.
OM

SOUNDING THE GREAT INVOCATION to MUSIC
"LET US BE" in "SOLSTICE" THESE NIGHTS and DAYS …
Spreading far across the Holy Days of Darkness … and of Light.
Sacred is the Light from the Heart of the Sun,
Sacred is the Quiet instilling the Earth.
In this season of "Long” nights (in the far northern hemisphere) and days (southern hemisphere), Earth orbits nearest to its parent, the Sun ... receiving auric emanations of beneficence.
Our conscious love offerings — our conscious intentions — our unified resonance With the One Life and Great Ones blessing this Day, the Earth and we with it, are born anew in the renewing Light of the Sun … bringing all into Oneness
EVOCATION
In this "closeness", the pathway of Solar Light flows through all forms … Touching the untouched — Healing the unhealed … Moving, lifting all life.
Alleluia

(Prose above *Everything is Holy Now” — Adapted from Peter Mayer's song, The Longest Night
EDITED today (12-21-2025):
As we open to the Angelic wonder and “Joy characteristic of this Solar system,” our world becomes magically alive. It is a magic wrought from the wonders of contemplating the world of the Soul, lived in accord with the Laws and Principles of the Universe, the greatest of these, “the Law of Love,” that is Consciousness of the Universe.
These weeks of disciplined, inner Mountain ascents in consciousness has begun to reach an inner peak within us as Solstice arrives, thence the rarified fourth Mountain — a realm of vibration where the Great Ones abide, walking in parallel and enriched by the spiritually religious foundation of Christmas Eve Night and Day that we enter into through an immersion in esoteric Teachings that stand magically behind it all.
Our aim has always been to arrive at a fuller understanding and experience of the affirming life of the Soul Whose light, love and life abides in higher realms than those here on earth. And yet, due to our daily contacts of alignment, what is on-high penetrates the planes of Earth through us — through our conscious participation — through our invocatory “demand”. Thus is one goal of this season made manifest.
The spiritual Hierarchy, One Soul of souls — one Heart of hearts, is an outpost for the Love of the Solar Logos to manifest fully through the “system”, and here on Earth. For Earth to be “made” outwardly sacred as it already Is inwardly, Humanity has a crucial role to play in fulfillment. It really is up to us to manifest fulfillment — to be so fully engaged in the process of divinity that we move mountains. It may make us wonder, and ask the Solar Logos — how are we doing? Would the answer be a shudder or a thrill?
For us on this conscious journey, we are working esoterically. We are laying down a higher calling pattern. For us, it is a thrill.
In a few days, the ritual “12 Days of Christmas” will begin, laying down a divine blueprint for aspiring Humanity and the Divine Pilgrim Who Walks the Way of Life. — The superior LIGHTS of the Constellations are a spiritual practice for further embodying the Christ-Mass — impressing upon our personality, the Soul-in-form, a divine pattern of the “Glory of the One Life.”
The all-encompassing Season of Christmas comes alive through the Heavens! Brought to Earth, our relationship with time and space makes subtle, profound shifts in awareness as we adjust the psyche, escaping the known linear time of Chronos, for the multi and timeless dimensions worlds of Kairos. In timeless dimension, we experience a fullness of time — such that the entire Christ-Mass season of 12 Days experienced on a higher octave— is 365 days “in time.”
∞
As we enter the life-giving Centre, the Spirit of Peace shines upon our Way, making “the life of every day a divine sphere of spiritual livingness” .
Let us continue this journey of light in Light with the added dimension of magical immersion in story evoked through the spoken and written word of the Soul.
Introducing "sacred story" into our lives during the Holy days of Christmas fans the living flame of the Light of the World. Enjoying these stories over the Christmas Season of Light ... to and through Three Kings Day— called Epiphany on January 6, reinforces what is “good for all time" !
◊ Henry van Dyke’s THE STORY OF THE OTHER WISE MAN (Introduction by Leo Buscaglia; copyright 1923) — "a cherished tale of the power of love". Let us "Believe" in the magic of the Wise Ones.
"The Good we do is immortal".
In giving the Pearl of Great Price,
We are brought into the Aura of the Blessed One.

◊ For those who desire a deeper esoteric understanding of Light, studying the richly detailed esoteric compilation of The Light of the World - The Light of the World compiled from the 'blue books' by the Master Djwhal Khul (MDK and His amanuensis Alice A. Bailey) brings rich rewards. This document cannot be read or absorbed in one day .... read it over time, it is a teaching about the Light of the World from various levels of consciousness and reality.
*Bruce McClure – of Earth Sky News writes: “the December solstice ushers in our shortest period of daylight and longest period of darkness for the year. And yet – if we consider the length of the day in another light – the longest days of the year come each year in December for the entire globe. When we say the longest days come each year around the December solstice for the entire globe, we’re talking about day not as a period of daylight – but as the interval from one solar noon – or midday – to the next.”
