Today ends the 7-Day ritual of Group Approach to Divinity in the Light of Capricorn. Such profound Light …

As Sheldon opened his computer today to read from the text for Day 6 of Capricorn, he said, “these are jewels”. These Days are jewels.

They keep us oriented to Truth, to the Real, to the Teachings. They keep us from getting lost and taken down by the troubles of the world.

Yes.

We need time now to process and integrate our journey.

Something profound is happening … it is too subtle and remote to articulate just yet. The field is shifting and reorganizing.

NOTE: Mercury is retrograde from December 29 to January 18, 2023. Mercury, the messenger of God, links the lower with the higher world. Mercury is happy when we are turned inward, intentionally linking with the inner world of the Soul — such as we have been doing for so long it seems. Trouble brews when we are overly outwardly active, when we are not “paying attention”, when we are overly focused on mundane affairs. We are learning to bring divine energy into daily affairs. If the heart/mind is not sufficiently purified in our relationships, then joyless misinterpretations and misunderstandings occur. Love and forgiveness is the ready sol-ution. Mercury insists on communicating the necessity for higher union. Pain comes through refusal.

Beauty Lets the Light in, the light of Love in.

Jan 7, 2023

The last few days have been for us a rich culmination and high point of Light upon the Mountain. Yesterday (Friday in the States and Saturday in the lower hemisphere) had three major points of focus all moving in the same direction while interlacing and reinforcing each other:

The 12th Day of Christmas - Pisces

Epiphany and the Epiphany Ritual

Solar Full Moon of Capricorn

All three were culminating symphonies in their own right, all three were moving us toward a crescendo of Light on the Mountain Top, of Light Supernal. The Full Moon was an experience of immeasurable Light. It was a revelation of the beauty of Light, of serenity and peace. This “mountain” contained a kind of fulfillment in the Light of Life — the Will energy of God — an immersion in a loving light-filled Will. There was so much Love in it.

It was also a portal into the Presence and reality of the Great Ones. I sensed the presence of Beings filling the field.

We know the law — what we focus on becomes real in our lives. Holding steady on course, on the beam, is essential. But it does not need to be perfectly sustained if the arrow is clearly directed, sincere effort is made and mundane distractions are sufficiently eliminated or held at bay. We are helped along the way by the Angels accompanying this process, and the group itself that “holds the field”. What then “comes up” in the field is meant to be there and is not a distraction. If we are honest with ourselves, we know the difference. And, we know by the fruit.

Down from the Mountain Top we come. We are not the same as when we started. We are profoundly renewed and reconstituted in Light. We are Light Bearers. As Light Bearers, there is far less to do than to Be and radiate. In Being, whatever we do is galvanizing and transformative.

We may not know yet what has changed or will change, or what will be substantively and noticeably different in our lives until the fullness of time has moved inter-dimensionally. Yet, we can say with certainty that if we followed this process and applied ourselves, each of us has already been given “good gifts”, and if asked to speak about what they are, we would share remarkable stories and awareness — whether physical “happenings”, relational newness, expansions in perception, and the miraculous. We can expect to see and experience these gifts as ripening fruit and food for the Soul, that will also manifest. All this will unfold in the year to come.

It has been a great Joy to walk this Way with You!

Halina and Sheldon

Dear Friends and Comopanions ~

A very happy new beginning in this new year !

Tomorrow we begin Day One of the 7-Day Capricorn Ritual for the Solar Full Moon process. A letter of Invitation will be going out this evening.

If some of you jumped ahead to the end of the 12 Days of Christmas, you may have noted a zoom webinar had been planned forJanuary 6, for Epiphany Day. However, given that this is also the Solar Full Moon Day of Capricorn, there will be no separate Epiphany webinar. Please note, we will meet as planned on Thursday, and we will combine everything.

This will be the current plan unless we receive a strong request for a different plan.

Blessings to one and All in this auspicious week!

Blessings to each and every Soul Star for a deeply meaningful, purposeful and significant New Year!

Please re-read what was written below on Dec. 26 — it has been edited in today’s Light. We are at a mid-way point. Reading it again will serve to emphasize WHAT we are doing here. We are on a grand journey of the Soul as the Three Wise Ones. Symbolically, this is no small thing. We tiny drops of atomic light are ensconced in an ocean of LIGHT — and we are learning to Identify AS the OCEAN that is in the DROP.

Today (yesterday in Australia and New Zealand) we are also reminded of the supreme role of the DIVINE MOTHER in VIRGO, the oldest of all constellations, working a divine process of Spirit—Matter through us.

LOVE TO ONE AND ALL

December 29

We are looking forward to our group meeting today!

December 26, 2022 (edited 12/31/22)

Dear Friends Upon the Lighted Way,

This phase of the Christmas period 'Birthing the Christ into Incarnation' has come to a close and the 12 Days of Christmas that follow now begin, serving to reinforce what has been invoked and unfolding.

Esoteric Advent – Christmas ends one chapter, allowing us to turn the page to begin a new chapter in the Twelve Days of Christmas — upon a higher turn of the spiral, at a higher level of reality. The first phase of this Christmas period had multiple purposeful streams running through it, one of which at the individual and group soul level was 'Birthing and incarnating the Mind of Christ in greater measure’. This process will continue as we integrate what has been received, personally and as a group.

The shift that now takes place in this next phase of the Twelve Days of Christmas is more impersonal. It will necessitate conscious work to imprint the energy and apply it to make it real in the world and in our own lives. Be conscious of the macro imprint upon your psyche, the micro Atom always in relationship to the larger pattern and Whole. We need to train ourselves to see the macro pattern working out in ourselves, our group life, in society, in humanity and in the Cosmos - and yes, vice verse.

The Twelve Days — the 12 Lights of Life — correspond with the 12 Constellations of the One Great Zodiacal Wheel — imprinting the divine universal pattern of the Sun’s journey through all 12 Signs upon our Soul Psyche. This imprint is of a Being so vast and so far beyond normal waking consciousness that we need to stretch our perception far far far into the universe to gain a glimpse of realization of It — we must try. Let us begin by knowing that we are a microcosm of this ONE — that the “ocean is in the drop” as much as “the drop is in the Ocean”! This ONE — the “One About Whom Naught May Be Said”, has as It’s Heart Center, our Sun and Solar System. Beyond THIS ONE, is ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER GREATER ONE — AD INFINITUM.

Through our conscious attunement with this ONE — we are initiating ourselves into Oneness. And, we are creating a bridge within ourselves for IT’S manifestation in the DROP. We are setting ourselves up for a great, potential, expansion in Consciousness.

The best we can do is intentionally open ourselves to IT’S divine imprint and by so doing know that we are serving and expanding the Lighted Way for ourselves and for humanity. In so doing we are taking part in the “new world” religion. As one jeweled participant shared on Thursday, this annual, rhythmic, conscious alignment and journey by the Soul Star Group (and groups such as we are) are like star-ships of a new generation traveling forward into the universe. As participating Souls, we are participating in rituals for the new Age of Aquarius. We trust the Way of Light — unfolding the growth of Soul Light. The Spirit aspect in ourSelves draws upon cosmic forces and delivers them to the True Soul of our divine nature. We are here “on Earth” readying ourselves to receive the energies invoked by Spirit, imprinting upon our human brain awareness the Consciousness of the universal pattern of the ONE and the livingness of these stupendous Spheres of life energy.

We then “wait”. We wait to see what Life will Be — how It will manifest through us vibrationally — what will be revealed in the year to come. These Twelve DAYS are the framework for the new year.

Let us consciously stand together, friends, as a “Station of Light” for the Hierarchy, and for the 12 Lights to shine upon — and through — the Way into manifestation.

We are traveling the Journey of the Wise Men, the Wise Ones who are ourSelves, following the ancient Star. Let us “see into manifestation” the new Order of the newborn Christ — growing and in some rare cases grown, into the full stature of the Christ that is our divine heritage and destiny.

The Twelve Days of Christmas begin anew.

December 25, 2022

A truly blessed morning on this Christmas Day, waking up, sensing the Soul of my Mother in the field of my awareness.

While waking and entering into a soft contemplation, I began pondering Mother’s Night and what takes place for individual unfoldment over the course of a life-time, when another thought spontaneously entered — it is in groups that the Christ Consciousness is born. With this thought, a sudden and spontaneous expansion took place. Suddenly a shift took place and my mind expanded wide. My mind is not my own, it is part of a group Mind of Christ now. This certainly is in keeping with the teachings that it will be through groups that we will be initiated into new cycles of expansion and expression. It is also not without coincidence that a new section of MDK’s teachings from EP-I, 314 was inserted at the end of Christmas Day.

We did the Christmas Eve-Christmas Day Ritual and the 5th Light this morning. The energy was so beautiful and full of a special energy, perhaps best described as the extra-planetary PEACE that entered the Christ. After invoking the Christ and Triangle of energies, Sheldon was profoundly moved as he experienced a vibration much deeper and fuller than before — penetrating as a solar power that remains and will increase over time. It was a kind of solar, beyond soul, empowerment.

Here is a photo of the altar. Notice the lights on the face of the Christ in the background.

”… Capricorn is also a birth sign, because it is also an aspect or one of the arms of the Cardinal Cross—the Cross of that which initiates or brings into being. This has a peculiar relation to Humanity. It is the birth of the two types of consciousness— self consciousness [Leo] and Christ consciousness [Capricorn] … E.A., 442

Special Greetings Friends,

We are now in the Holy Silence and Depths of this next immediate, culminating stage.

All through this day and evening and into the night, let us move deeper in the magical Presence of the Beings attending our process of Revelation. Let us hold the point of Tension (Vibration) high and pure.

Be CREATIVE in how you work with the various elements of the rituals in these pages.

Some may want to do the 5th Advent Light - the Sunday Ritual - tonight or tomorrow morning as the ritual prescribes if you had not performed it on Winter Solstice Day. Or some may simply want to invoke the Christ and Light the Fifth Advent Light completing the circle of Advent Light.

Some may want to go to a Midnight Mass.

Some may want to sound the Names of the Soul Star Group whilst held in the arms of the Holy Mother, the true Holy Grail.

Some may want to read and meditate and move into meditative sleep of the Holy Heart-Mind that has been engendered and heightened throughout these weeks and time-outside-of-time.

We bless you and love you and stand with you as the Angels of the Lord of Love and the Holy Mother and The Christ and Hierarchy are with us in THE SILENT NIGHT.

The heart is a sun source of SOLAR POWER … upon which we draw for manifestation. … Service to the Light inspires the spirit in countless ways … With hearts aflame, we manifest the Christ principle, Consciousness, through the forms we love. We manifest Beauty. We manifest the Will of God. Every symbol is a manifestation of a higher ether. As we attend to the Great Ones, They attend to us.
JOY TO THE WORLD IN THE SILENT NIGHT

MAKE A WISH TODAY … DURING THESE DAYS OF THE SOLSTICE AND THE CHRIST-MASS SEASON

WISHING TREES and wreathes

Gather ribbons. Make a MAGICAL WISH — for your-Self and yourself … for the World, for Humanity, for your Community of Friends and Family … Animals and Plants and Mineral Kingdoms …. Tie your wishes in bows onto the branches of your Christmas tree or wreathe …

What is a Magical Wish? MAGICAL WISHES are clear strong intentions for bringing Soul fulfillment into our lives and the lives of those we love and care about. From the Solstice to Christmas Day especially, there is an abundance of angelic interplay for manifesting a new world born in the energy field of Joy. Magical happenings abound at this time of year unlike any other. Set clear intentions — your “wishes” and with faith in the response, expect them to “happen” with ease and joy and surprise.

Let the energy build. Then on Christmas Day — or better still (if its a BIG wish) at the end of the 12 Days of Christmas on Epiphany Day — untie your bows and let your wishes fly free for the Angels to carry them to fruition. Real wishes will take root, real wishes will come into manifestation in the right time and place.

BLESSINGS TO YOU DEAR FRIENDS, ONE AND ALL, DURING THESE HOLY DAYS … MAY JOY FIND YOU … MAY THE FATHOMLESS MAGIC OF THIS SEASON TOUCH YOUR LIVES IN NEW WAYS … MAY THE ANGELS BE FREE TO ATTEND YOU … ABOVE ALL, MAY JOY AND RENEWAL COME INTO YOUR LIFE AND WORLD … AND BE SPREAD FAR AND WIDE!

JOY TO ALL THE WORLD!

December 20/21/22, 2022

The Winter Solstice is now upon us. A quiet stillness fills the atmosphere.

The Solstice can be thought of as One 3-day period — the day before, day of and day after — as the Sun and Earth meet in relationship in the austere Light of Capricorn forming a cardinal cross of supernal LIGHT in the heavens!

In the Depths of darkness grows new Light … and like an old Friend, stays awhile and recedes into a world its own …. THENCE COMES THE LIGHT.

This is an auspicious time … All that truly lives is awake to the magic of this time

Holy oblations pour out blessings for all that has died, to all who have lived, to all that is sacred and wholesomely dear …

We move deeper now with the quiet stillness descending during this Sun and Earth Solstice period … a standing-stillness in the atmosphere as the Sun appears to stand still in the great unfolding.

May deepened Peace be known … May Joy be our Friend … May we hear the Angels Sing as the universal Christ is Born on Earth … May the Holy Light of Christ Universal also be born in us … May the Holy alliance of Light and Love fill every empty, forlorn, thirsty crack seeking Light and Love and new Life.

We hold you in blessing and love during this austerely sacred time of stillness.

MAKE A WISH TODAY, DURING THESE DAYS OF THE SOLSTICE

December 18/19

The Fourth Advent Light, “I Serve”, was so very real. The presence of the Angel of the West came when invoked, infusing the field with sacrificial service — as if a blanket of this energy was laid upon us — thereby increasing its force through Humanity.

When asked to meditate and visualize a world where Service is part of Humanity’s expression, it dawned in mind how this would “shift everything”. And true of all Four. After all, this is what Christ brought and taught through Jesus — He brought “Love All” and “Service”. How would things change? Cooperation would become a factual way of working — the ‘way we are’. And Joy — the note of the Universe — would be the pervasive state of Being.

This is true of all the forces invoked and laid down before us in each cardinal direction. All Four will eventually be an expression of Humanity, and what will likely be causative factors for Humanity to merge with Hierarchy. The Earth will become outwardly “sacred” — in no small part due to the work of Humanity bringing in these factors.

We now begin the 4th Mountain of ascent. The content in Day One says it all. Through the fire in the Heart and following Hierarchy — the infinite chain of Hierarchy — the great magnet. I’m sensing the Magnets attractive power in its essence.

I have wondered about “the wonder” the great Angels have about us as we do these rituals. They’ve looked at us with wonder and curiosity and great Joy that we are consciously making contact with them, and that we are laying down an invocatory framework. We are forging a pathway making it easier for others to follow what is pre-ordained and “written”. It is Written. We have found what is “written” and are reinforcing it.

A bit of instruction: the daily group Meditation for the Fourth Mountain can be accessed in the Third Mountain. Please go there for the Meditation before doing the daily practices in the Fourth Mountain!

It is a marvel that we will have a full week for the Fourth Mountain, enabling us to build and move into these energies slowly and carefully and more fully in consciousness. In prior years, the Solstice and Christmas Day came much sooner in the week, sometimes by Wednesday so our 4th Mountain would be cut short. It is so very good and fortuitous that we have this preparation time to deeply dwell in the energies of the 4th ascent.

The Unicorn is accentuated in Capricorn. It is interesting that the Unicorn is a meme in the new generation. They already know “something” of this energy even now.

The world is in crisis. Russia’s war with Ukraine and forces of materialism are causing pain and disconnect from the Source of Life. “We serve” through our conscious ascents in consciousness.

Blessings to you, dear friends, One and All, upon our Lighted Way.

December 17, 2022

Our Thursday meeting was deep and beautiful and intimate. Ashramic Intimacy is a term reserved for disciples initiated into the heart of an Ashram of a Master of Love-Wisdom — the greatest of which is the Ashram of the Christ.

To live in accord with the Law of Love is to join with a force that pervades and encompasses the whole incarnation — the whole person — where every thought and word and activity is pervaded such that effort is superseded by the force of the Law coursing through the whole soul in form. Expression becomes effortless.

Are we being initiated into the Mysteries of the Law of Love? that is also Light and Life?

Are we not fractals of consciousness growing in illumination? We are communing with Fire. We are invoking and aligning and being subjected to vibrations of higher spheres. We are choosing Light that dwells in Light ALLOWING NO DARKNESS to enter our Mind. Together, we are joining the Kingdom of Souls.

December 15, 2022

We are moving through the fiery Gates to the Hierarchy of Light.

Much must still be purified in the Teachings of the world. Religion on our planet is in great need of awakening and purification. Purified religion will bring freedom and a pathway to Spirit — to Truth, dropping the shackles of confining beliefs and practices. Pure religion will result in a great unification in humanity, and Humanity will move into its unifying function.

Through our labors a new consciousness will result.

Taking responsibility for supporting a new “religion” is a high calling. A necessary calling. A calling that will make all things right in the world.

Through our practices — what we are attending to and invoking — is purifying the stream of religion. We benefit, Humanity benefits, the world benefits.

Midnight - December 12 — Death to Life

On this first day of Mountain the Third, a dear sweet and powerful soul whom I had the honor of knowing as “father” passed away this evening in the hospital. Having contracted Covid a few weeks earlier, he took a down turn the last few days as pneumonia set in his left lung. A nurse, without advance permission from his Guardian of Health (me), placed 2 mg of morphine into his I.V. to settle down his rapid breathing to make him more “comfortable” — which proved fatal as it caused him to struggle for breath. Less than an hour later he lost the battle to breathe on his own. As a young teenager, he had survived the terrors of incarceration in a Nazi Concentration Camp in Poland. His will to live and survive no matter the obstacles was indelibly imprinted upon his soul.

Shockingly, less than an hour after hearing of my father’s passing, the local coroner called while standing in the living room of my fathers home to inform me that my brother, Ed, had also passed away, early that morning. It was determined he also died of respiratory failure due to Covid. It appeared he died peacefully while in his sleep. Ed had been living in my parents home for many years, and dutifully took on responsibility for a portion of my father’s care following my mother’s passing ten months earlier.

Only the wisdom, whole vision and higher Hand of God could have orchestrated such perfection of timing such as this. Two interdependent souls reliant upon each other had completed a karmic Soul contract for this life. It was not an easy one given their many differences. They are free now to be with those they most love and to carry on with what is next.

Sadness pervades the heart, yet the wondrous ways of God allows for simultaneous joy to be present — like butterflies hovering to stay a little while over the earth — they pass on to a brighter lighted sphere, with freedom in their wings and the promise of “life more abundant”.

Blessings to you, and all who navigate the delicate threads we call “life” on this side of the veil.

May All Be Well With You. Never have these words carried such meaning and comfort as they do now.

Halina

Early Day - December 12

Welcome to a new Day, a new week, a new Mountain of Consciousness. One can sense the ascending process, deepening and broadening the energy field. Do you “feel” it too?

Today’s Third Sunday of Advent, to “LOVE ALL”, is a source for this deepening and broadening. The Mountain Week and The Sunday Advents are interlacing and empowering each other — as if a magically empowered butterfly is flying between the two parallel-related worlds, causing communication them and the rest follows. Maybe we are those butterflies!

Small but significant Word changes were made to the ritual of the Third Sunday of Advent after going through it ourselves. The second to last page was also edited and streamlined bringing into greater clarity what we are really doing with these rituals. Do read it.

There is a new Post in Soul Conversations (and my reply beneath it)! Let us reflect on these days. And please share your reflections on Soul Conversations. (Directions in how to make a Post are at the bottom of that page).

The Angels are singing, yes, in anticipation of a new Mountain of Consciousness ascent!

In This Love, we humbly resound the Words of the Christ - “May All Be Well With You”

Halina

P.S. If I can find the time, I’d love to post some photos here of the Four Sundays in progress. We’ll see.

December 10/11

Dearest Friends upon the Mountain Top,

We are now in that in-between time, for only a Day, when we shift our awareness from one Mountain of Consciousness to the next.

Only a Day.

Yet this Day can be an Eternity …. always, yes ALL-WAYS, relative to WHAT WE ARE IN RELATIONSHIP WITH.

I wrote a note of reply to a friend this evening after her return of being away a few days, walking with friends in an ancient old growth forest — some of which I share in the indent below. But first, a relevant update of circumstance ~ I am but one dot amongst thousands experiencing something similar. Joy can be known, said the Buddha, even as the heart breaks open in tears or pain. The Madonna Laboris is laboring.

My father may be dying — alone — at least struggling and fighting for his life in an isolated Covid ward of a hospital, no visitors allowed — only nurses checking vital signs — pulses and fluids. Are we in a twilight zone, back in the year 2020 ? Has nothing changed? He needs to hold my hand. I need to hold his. The hand, symbol of relationship. These rules do not serve the whole person or the relationship. They serve only the most physical aspect of form life while the heart is breaking.

A doctor friend outside the system and serving as his primary care physician, managed to visit my father. Intuiting the circumstances and fragile state of my father, he swooped in like a great Angel of the Lord. He walked into the hospital through the ER, straight to his floor and into his room with the will of a Christed one. Before the nurse on duty saw him demanding to know who he was and what was he doing there and how did he get in and don’t you know you could get Covid and I’m calling security — while not listening to any of his replies, before any of this scenario had played out, my doctor friend had dialed my number and said to my father his daughter is on the line and wants to talk to you. For a few moments, my father came out of his stupor and called out my name in recognition. Halinka? he said with more strength than I could have imagined was possible. Yes, its me, Tata! And in joyous recognition, for a few brief moments we connected in a stream of Love. Assured by me he is loved and held by love — may this be sufficient and enough to carry him through — to an earthly home, or a higher home.

To my friend:

Yes, since we last communicated, much in our lives and in the world today has changed and is still reconfiguring. Yet the big things have not — the stars still shine their light in a constant stream and the great Wheel still turns round a great cosmic Center releasing mighty forces in a perpetual rhythm. May all who choose to listen, hear.

I am re-learning that Everything and Everyone is in relationship. The question is, what is its nature and quality. I so much prefer my relationship with the cosmos than with two brothers who still choose to see me as an evil witch. Who would not? To be free of the effects of these misperceptions is to forgive .... Everything. In this way, Love continues to flow. The sun is our teacher in times like this, always shining on everything, never stopping for anything or any reason.

The freedom in this is liberating.

Three dots ... have become four .... return to one . then none

You understand. Thank you.

"May All Be Well With You" said the Christ to His Disciples, the theme for this Saturday!

We open the gates to the Third Advent Light: “LOVE ALL”

To Love All it is the mightiest of all medicines, the fullest of all loves, the tenderest of all emotions, the power to change all things through the infinitude of All Being,

May All Be Well With You ~

Hello Dear Friends,

We are now in the distribution phase of the Full Moon energies of Sagittarius/Gemini, joining our group progress upon the Second Mountain. Days 5, 6 and 7 of the Seven-Day Full Moon Approaches are all up on the website (under the tab of that name). Let us intentionally, with power on the Beam, draw these energies in on our mountain ascent.

Onward we move!

NEW Participating Soul joined us from Northumberland, UK

DECEMBER 6, 2022

Hello Friends,

In the normal course of these offering, very little of “the personal” enters through these pages. However a series of family emergencies arose that necessitated my involvement. As the court-appointed Guardian for my dear old father of nearly 94 years, I needed to take steps for his hospitalization after he became sick and a series of strange symptoms, such as losing the ability to walk, among other things, began manifesting a week earlier. While in the Emergency Room, he was tested for Covid and it came back positive. His body is struggling to recover. Blood work indicates he is now trending in the right direction and he is breathing normally. Will it continue?

My apology for the late letter of invitation for the 7-Day Solar Full Moon ritual in Sagittarius. It will go out this evening, two days after it would have normally begun. This should present no obstacle for full preparation in participation. Some among us will want to participate with both ritual programs, side by side. Others will choose to do the Christmas Advent ritual only. And others who do not participate in Christmas Advent will embark upon the power of the beam of a related mountain of Consciousness through energetic contact.

The Participating Souls list was revised, a V2, adding three more Participating Souls. It can be found in the tab of 4 Sundays of Advent.

Sunday’s Second Advent Lighting ritual evoked a fullness of spiritual energy into our consciousness and a lasting Angelic presence in the room. After stepping out and returning a few hours later, a sweet, very pure high vibration was present and was felt in my heart as a “thrilling” vibration.

The Second Mountain begins with a focus on the Heart-Mind of Christ. It is so very good to reenter and revisit these themes this year once again — “the power on the beam” of focused, directed thought is so needed during these difficult, changing times. We are being tested.

Blessings,

Halina

GREETINGS, Good Morning and Good Evening,

WE had a wonderful meeting on Thursday with a small group of Participating Souls. We welcomed and expressed gratitude to each other, and centered ourselves deeply in the ethos of Esoteric Advent—Christmas as we participate in the magical processes and disciplines. We shared our love and gratitude for this annual process and for this Family of Souls — constituting our Spiritual Family. We shared our perceptions, insights and revelations of MOUNTAIN ONE. We were reminded of the ritual construct - THIS FRAMEWORK AND ITS PURPOSE - standing behind and embedded in the rituals. Understanding the purposeful framework of E.A. allows us to participate more intentionally and deepens our experience of the Christmas Advent period. We were reminded of the high calling of this work — to assist in the upward pull of the Consciousness of Humanity — vibrationally uplifting all as we ourselves ascend successive Mountains of Consciousness.

Continuing refinement of the “Days” is always under way. Friday has a few brief edits after the fact, nothing major, and music. Saturday had more changes, made to simplify the thought streams and adding “power upon the Beam” (I began editing earlier in the day and again around 10 pm but did not complete until after midnight Pacific time so a handful of us will not have seen the changes until late your Saturday if in the southern hemisphere, but this does not matter because the heart of the Day remains unchanged). We can if we choose review the Day’s work every evening.

Yes, as of this morning, the Participating Soul Group List of Names and Locations is now up and can be found in the page titled “Four Sundays of Advent”. Later, when we begin the 12 Days of Christmas, there will be a page titled “Participating Souls”. Sunday begins the Second Advent Light, and Monday begins a new Mountain !

Good morning/evening everyone.

A wonderful first post on SOUL CONVERSATIONS came in from Susan this morning - included here (to start us off)

“Hello to all as we enter into this magical time of the year. I woke up on Sunday morning feeling a palpable high energy soaring through me and wondered what it was. Then I remembered "this is the first day of Advent". During the first Sunday meditation, I could see and feel the star energy in my crown chakra seemingly for the first time, given it's strength and brightness, then merging into the group of souls was a larger star more alive for me than ever before. And so it has continued. In my dream Monday night, there was a bright flame of light burning on a table/desk, so brilliant that the image remains strong inside of me. And this is only the beginning of Advent!!
Love and Light to all as we journey in the weeks ahead! Susan

Greetings Friends,

The group field is slowly “populating” as more Souls join this amazing group process … already our meditations and practices are building and it has only been two days since we began. I am sensing an indescribable energy pouring into our group from the inner worlds — so full, pure, and real … Do you sense it? I’m intuiting it began on the First Sunday Advent ritual, from nothing to “something”, as if a portal opened and an energy began to flow in … On Monday morning, the field suddenly came alive in my awareness with an energy so beautiful and “filled full with Love” that I felt truly blessed and grateful for the Beings on the other side coming to “be with us”.

Is it the Madonna?

Today, I intend to put up SOUL CONVERSATIONS on the website, allowing all of us to begin sharing our insights and experiences. Look for it, and please participate!

To Tuesday’s practices , I added a new diamond this morning . It can be found next to the word NEW. Sheldon and I had a rich conversation this morning about how to work with fields larger than our own. The very large collective fields in need of purification require something more than an individual can provide — the political strife in democratic nations caused by threats to Hierarchically inspired democracy — visible in America, the growing unrest in Russia and now China — give rise to citizens resisting the throw-back aggressions of dictators and forces of materialism through which the anti-Christ works stimulating ‘wrong thinking’, illusions and hatreds. As the coming Light increases, we can expect a counterforce response. As worldwide issues rise to surface, World Servers and Light Workers also create a counter-force to materialism and illusion. We must see “hierarchically” to understand these risings. Take heart and “Stand with the forces of Light” — intensifying that LIGHT (what the Sunday Advent rituals invoke during these times). We must also train our sight to “See” the Good and New that is rising in the world apart from the dark memes that bring troubles. The “Good”, good Will and the New are streaming in, replacing the past, and far out-weigh bad news cycles.

During this Mountain period of ascent, the Madonna labors. Let us be vigilant, therefore, in our links to the sacred, and the great Love and Light present during this Holy season. The spiritual Hierarchy is a Center of Great Light within which stands the Christ. The growing power of the Divine Feminine and the Will of the Father are unfolding the Plan of God on Earth, inspiring legions of lightworkers around the world working for the Plan. These energies are present and accentuated during these religious, spiritual holidays this time of year.

And they constitute a great Force released into the world. Through our focus, we LET THE LIGHT IN. We LET LOVE IN. We LET THE WILL OF GOD IN — upon the planes of Earth. This is our means for uplifting the Soul of Humanity — to achieve Victory over the attempted take-overs of materialistic forces and as climate change continues affecting life on planet Earth. The nations of the world are responding. Our inner work through these attuned ritual processes supports Humanity — the World Disciple.

Let us hold in heart-mind high Thought and the energy that informs it for the sake of our future — and let us not give space or overdue attention to the other.

Grace is Blessing us.

NOVEMBER 28/29, 2022 — this Communication was also sent as an email on 11/29/22; 1:43 AM Pacific

GREETINGS FRIENDS AND PARTICIPATING SOULS,

WELCOME once again to Esoteric Advent - Christmas, 2022/2023. Receiving this note means you have registered and have either begun this process or are about to begin. Currently we have approximately 60 participating Souls with us.

The First Mountain is an immersion in the energy field of the Madonna Laboris, a Feminine aspect of Divinity Who emanates PURITY (corresponding with the First Sunday of Advent, Northern portal hearkening "Be Pure") and Who with the Christ brings the "Saving Force" for Humanity, whilst nurturing the "growth of Light in LIGHT".

A brief instruction for review. Daily go to the Esoteric Advent website (see link below). Sundays begin a new Sunday Advent Lighting ritual and Mondays begin a new Weekly Mountain focus.

https://www.esotericadvent.org/

CLICK on 2022 ESOTERIC ADVENT – CHRISTMAS

This Page currently contains Four main topics:

1. Communicating With You. Here you will find communications from me (like in this email) and for Guidance, instructions or sharings about our process. Please check-in daily to see if there is a new communication. Otherwise, Silence will reign as the work goes on in the depths.

2. Weekly Mountain.

3. Four Sundays of Advent. Click on the appropriate Sunday ritual. Try to do this ritual preferably early in your day. The Soul Star Group list of Names in a PDF document will also be found here, but later a new Page will be added as we begin the 12 Days of Christmas.

4. Understanding the Four Sundays of Advent. This is worthwhile reading at least once.

More Pages (under this main tab) will be added as we progress on our spiritual journey; the most current content will always be placed near the top for easy access.

If at any time you need help with technical issues, have a question, want to make a comment or express an insight or sharing, feel free to contact me (and Sheldon) directly by writing EsotericAdvent1@gmail.com.

Toward this aim, soon a new tab will appear on the Website, SOUL CONVERSATIONS, for all to make comments or share insights with each other – which we greatly encourage to help build the soul group field.

Again, the most important aspect of our work together are the daily whole-Group Meditations (found in each Weekly Mountain). The daily practices that follow support our individual Soul unfoldment. Both contribute to the growth of “Light in LIGHT”.

THURSDAY GROUP GATHERINGS: For those interested, every Thursday at 11 am Pacific time, Sheldon and I will offer a one hour meeting to gather. World Time Buddy finds your time zone: https://www.worldtimebuddy.com/

The Thursday gatherings will be a forum to meet "in person as a group" to share impressions, learn from each other, answer questions, hear comments and deepen our group life through this beautiful and “intimate process with the Divine” – as one participant recently expressed in her RSVP.

The Zoom link for the Thursday on-line gatherings can be found on the "Webinars - Zoom'' page. Simply click on the link. During the first meeting we will determine whether we want to meet for one hour only or extend it another half hour.

Please enjoy this process. It is a privilege and joy for us to all Be together in this Way for such an extended period of time, and it is a service to the human race and spiritual Hierarchy when a group chooses, with “power on the beam”, to walk the way together for the growth and intensification of Light in LIGHT and Good Will to All.

Radiant Blessings,

Halina with Sheldon

WORLD TIME BUDDY - I want to share with you a wonderful link I use to compare Time Zones. It’s worth figuring out how to use! You can add in country time zones, start with your own, to make time comparisons.

MONDAY, Nov 28, 2022

Good morning and Good evening, Friends.

It seems one or more Participating Souls had difficulty accessing the website this morning. It could be that the URL address changed when I make certain types of Edits (or moved the tabs around) which resulted in an Error with the older URL address for the website. If this happens for you, start over. Click on the + sign to re-enter a new web address, https://Esotericadvent.org/ and it will bring it up fresh with no problem.

I also received an important request for Europeans to have the work ready by their morning before some go off to work for a European time zone. I understand the importance of this and it has been a high priority for me. I do my best to always have it ready the night before. However, please keep in mind that in the rare instance of a computer glitch or something not being ready, the single most important focus of our work together are the daily Group Meditations. These are in the upper portion of every weekly Mountain - these group meditations will always bring us into the group field of the Soul Star Group and the Christ aura or Field. Everything else is secondary and can be done when time permits.

Thank you for your desire and deep interest in making sure we are all working together in a timely rhythm. This is important for all of us and for this work on this side of the veil. On the other side, there is no time. By the time the day ends for everyone, the Angels will have taken all our energy work and integrated all our efforts and practices into One whole. If any of us would go back to a Day already completed, you would sense the shift into wholeness.

Last night many edits were made to Week One - The First Mountain with the Madonna Laboris. For Europeans and the South Pacific you will see these today even though you will be moving on to the next Day. This will present no problem, just continue. It all integrates at days end through the group field. You can always go back to re-read the changes and incorporate them into your thinking and Being.

Continue to contact me with questions, concerns or news to report: EsotericAdvent1@gmail.com

Blessings to One and All

SUNDAY NOVEMBER 27, 2022

WELCOME EVERYONE to this FIRST SUNDAY of ADVENT!

More content to this message will be added later … for now, simply know that today begins the FIRST SUNDAY of ADVENT RITUAL that can be found in the tab with that name. Tomorrow begins Week One — The First Mountain of Consciousness with the Madonna Laboris (some editing still in process).

Between TODAY and next SUNDAY, please read the new tab titled UNDERSTANDING THE SUNDAY RITUALS OF ADVENT PLUS THE FIFTH LIGHT. This will give all of us the necessary overview and intention behind these rituals of high magic, and have us move forward with One Mind-One Heart. Most participants will have read this in prior years but it is an important review and reminder, even for me who wrote it, of what stands behind these rituals, their purpose and that they were constructed from a higher intentional Soul field of Thought. This section should have been included in the preliminary pages of the FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT but by some mysterious “happening”, it dropped off.

I am now certain these rituals, once written and performed, have a life and will of their own due to the Angels who preside over them. Every year they demand a long and painful re-write that often takes a whole day, sometimes two into the early morning hours, for what appears to be small changes. A significant phrase, paragraph, word or position that was intentionally written or placed is not easily re-written or moved. It now holds a place in relationship to the whole. If a word or phrase is no longer “right” because it is superfluous (as I discovered today after a laborious re-write), or the energy has shifted because the group has advanced toward a deeper Light, or perception has changed, the ritual needs to reflect it. Some words once written are not easy to undo, as if they have been carved in stone on the inner planes and to change them is like trying to move a mountain that has a force holding it in place. It can take an hour to re-write five words due to that force, and a re-configuration once done. I’ve also discovered I cannot bring a tired mind to re-writing these rituals. Only “the Mind that is in Christ” will make them sing with “rightness”. So this has been a profound learning process and I am grateful to share this with you. Through this process, I better understand the power of the “Word”. And the power of the akashic records.

More later…

NOVEMBER 26, 2022

GREETINGS FRIENDS!

WELCOME to Christmas Advent, 2022. We sense the energy before us, and anticipate a richly rewarding experience and immersion in the energies that are now present and building in the weeks ahead that we, the Soul Star Group, will soon access.

Come here often. Here in these pages, you will find further instructions about our process, moving forward together as a Group! Please check in daily, though not everyday will have a new post. Sometimes Silence will reign as the work goes on in the depths.

The FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT is now ready on this website. The Soul Star Group of names are slowly coming in and it seems we will have a much smaller group this year. All is well and good. For now, for the First Sunday of Advent Lighting Ritual, the list of names will not likely be ready, therefore at this point in the Ritual asking to open that document, simply hold the group Soul As One Sphere of Holy Lights visualizing Light entering the group as a whole, with Stars above and in our Hearts.

Week One with the Madonna Laboris begins on Monday and will be ready sometime late Saturday evening here in the States. Some new changes are being made to this week.

INVITATION: For those who are interested, every Thursday at 11 am Pacific time, Sheldon and I will be offering a one hour meeting to gather together and facilitate our process. This will be a forum to share our impressions and learnings with each other, answer questions, make comments and deepen this beautiful interior season in what has become an “intimate process with the Divine” as one participant so beautifully expressed recently in her RSVP.

The link for the Thursday gatherings can be found on the tab titled Webinars - Zoom links. Simply click on it. During our first meeting we will determine whether we wish to meet for one hour only or extend it another half hour.

The content that follows below are the Instructions and Guidance during Christmas Advent-2021. I began reading through them this morning and was moved by the sparks of truth, beauty, wisdom and depths of this process rising from within the Group field. You may want to do the same.

We look forward to beginning our immersion in the growth of Light in LIGHT,

Halina (with Sheldon)

LAST YEAR

2021

THURSDAY WITH THE SOUL STAR GROUP —

EPIPHANY — Finale

And The 12th Day of Christ-Mass

Jan 6, 2022 12:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada); 8:00 PM GMT

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82486684850?pwd=RjVWZDIwZDNEb3EvR0o0R2o3QnlyQT09

For MORE Links to this meeting, go to the Webinars tab.

January 4, 2022

In DNA-I, 468, the Master instructs a disciple in a brief meditation: — “After achieving alignment, inner poise and rest, see each of your co-disciples (whom you may know) in the light.” Then, “visualize each with a star between the eyebrows as the symbol of an awakened ajna centre and of an integrated personality. It is a four-pointed star. The star of initiation is, as you know, a five-pointed star.”

Two more instructions then follow (we will practice this meditation during the season of Lent) that rely upon an awakened Ajna center — which “sees” as the Soul would “see” — the Soul’s vision has lighted understanding, comprehension and knowing. Sagittarius is the sign most associated with vision giving the ability to “see into”, to “see and understand”, “to know” a Soul desire or to know the plan. The Soul comprehends the “whole”.

The Ajna center also functions to direct energy toward a given goal. Having seen the vision — we give ‘focused thought and direction’. Today, the 10th Sign of Capricorn — the sign of Initiation, corresponds with “the star of initiation — a five-pointed star”. Venus, the Hierarchical ruler of Capricorn, corresponds with the number 5.

It all comes together in a beautiful mathematical correspondence, a divine pattern that is directive and directional.

January 3, 2022

Today, on the 9th Day of Christ-Mass, we meditate on the gifts of Sagittarius for esoteric impression.

In the growth of Christhood we develop ‘the faculty of sensitive direction’ — thence becoming “the ordered direction of God’s thought”.

Bless and Be Blessed.

January 2, 2022

Today is the New Moon in Capricorn. In whatever form you choose, do take some time to meditate during the exact time: PST: 10:35 AM ; GMT 6:35 PM

On the Esoteric Advent website, there is a tab dedicated to the New Moon if you wish to use this form for ritual meditation. Bless and Be Blessed.

January 1, 2022

We are welcomed into the new year vibration of 2 0 2 2 = 0 6. The triple energy of Love Wisdom (Ray 2), summing to 6 - high Ideals and Devotion. To What high Ideals will we be devoted? To What measure of Love can we expand into and embody?

On this first day of the new year, we are immersed in the energy field of Libra — the 7th Petal and Day of Christ-Mass.

For the Disciple/Initiate: “Balance attained, divine love, and understanding.” (EA, 333)

“This constellation…connotes the point of balance in the long relationship and interplay between the pairs of opposites. It indicates the will-to-express—in perfected proportion and harmony—both the life of the spirit and the potency of matter.” (EA, 632)

Here we meet the Goal to express “both the life of spirit and the potency of matter” — “in perfected proportion and harmony”.

What is our Soul Goal for the Year 2022 - individually and as a Group?

Is there a point of balance to be met? A decision or choice to be made? A direction to be met? An action to be taken? A need to be fulfilled? “Words” to be spoken or written? A soul achievement to be advanced?

What is your will-to-express — in perfecting proportion and harmony — both the life of the spirit and the potency of matter — in balance, divine love and understanding?

Bring the Mountains with you.

Let the Christ Star be your Guide.

12/31/21 It was lovely being together in the group yesterday (Thursdays with the Soul Star Group).

The opening meditation, the Solar Angel making its Presence felt, was profound.

On this last day of the year 2021 = 5, we are (were) blessed to be inside the energy field of the 6th Day of Christmas — the Day of the Holy Virgin shielding, nurturing, and revealing a new “synthesized identity”.

If nothing else, sense your own Beauty on this Day.

12/30/21 Greetings “Lights upon the Way”. We will have a group meeting and sharing today, Thursday, at 12:00 Pacific. Please find the Zoom link on the Webinars tab.

There is a group sharing from Jane on “Soul Conversations” that is very worthwhile reading! Please go there to read it, and make one of your own if you are moved to do so.

Good night and Good Day on this “Third Day” of interplay!

12/28/21

Dear Friends,

Yesterday, a participating Soul wrote:

“As I entered the 12 Days of Christmas with openness and curiosity of what will unfold, I am finding it difficult to get good traction early on in the 12 Days. I guess I am looking for the same energy to persist through ‘this process’. On the other hand, I am aware of the treasures that await me. I want to feel the same warmth and coziness I felt when we started the first Sunday. I am feeling kind of a lull, but yet I persist.”

And here was my reply:

“The 12 LIGHTS are a vibratory archetypal pattern in the Heavens — and they are impersonal (I will add now). They are engaging an aspect of the Will, and not so much the heart. So if you want warmth, it will be up to you to bring the warmth in. A suggestion is to find music that inspires you. Another suggestion is to do the practices with Love in your "heart-mind". Move through your day, with "love in your heart". This will bring internal "warmth" to whatever you do, and think about. It is good that you persist.

“Today, the second day — Taurus day, brings a focus to Beauty. Beauty is immensely magnanimous, heart inspiring and warming. Ask, how is beauty nurturing my life? How is the beauty of the Soul enhancing and warming all my relationships.”

May this be helpful to others who may be encountering something similar. If you have some ideas or suggestions in your approach, please post them in Soul Conversations.

Just below I provided a link to a beautiful video of song … Panis Angelicus! The Bread of Heaven!

Blessings to us all,

Halina

12/27/21

One of the most beautiful renditions of Panis Angelicus — sung by Pavarotti with Choir, against a backdrop of “a divine urge” to Beauty. Let us take this in on this Second Day of “The 12 Days of the Christ-Mass”.

“… subordinating all to the innate divine urge for beauty, synthesis and the free expression of the hidden mystery which is to be found at the heart of all forms.” (EA, 372)

CLICK HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5-a6Z-REDA&ab_channel=Reinemichaud

Panis angelicus Fit panis hominum; dat panis coelicus Figuris terminum O res mirabilis! manducat Dominium Pauper, pauper, Servus et humilis, Pauper, pauper Servus et humilis.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION: Heavenly bread That becomes the bread of all mankind; Bread from the angelic host That is the end of all imaginings. Oh, miraculous thing!

12/25/21

TONIGHT

Let us expand the meaning of the “Birthing Hour” such as encountered on Mother’s Night to be an extended period of time — a cycle of time, an initiatory cycle, a life time, a series of lives pertaining to an initiatory cycle, a season such as the Christmas season, or a nine month period of growth starting in Virgo.

If we are looking for signs of progress, while it does and has happened, it would be rare to experience an “initiation” into a significant expansion of Consciousness — a major birth such as referenced in the ritual of MOTHER’S NIGHT where “Christs are being born through the night”. Let us remember this is an allegory to reveal a hidden meaning more than an actual happening. Expansions in Consciousness tend to happen over time. However, having said that, the Soul and the Master presiding over a Disciple will use group rituals and group processes for such occasions where warranted. I bring this up to allay disappointments if nothing seemed to happen over night, or if you feel the same today as you did yesterday.

What we can say with some certainty is that to the degree we apply ourselves steadily, the effort we put in, and our capacity to “hold the field” — the “point of tension” is the determining factor for building the bridge of light, the antahkarana, to Divinity.

It has been our experience that engaging in “sacred ritual” of this calibre during the potency of this season (and other astrological seasons), the daily disciplines such as we have been doing for the past month, and the steady focus upon “divine will AND love” inevitably raises the consciousness and frequency of vibration bit by bit — it cannot be otherwise — the law remains that energy follows thought. What we focus on, grows and glows. Thus do we become better fit instruments to receive an energetic response from that to which we have been oriented and invoking. Nothing is lost, only gained.

Speaking from personal experience, there have been some years when the energies invoked markedly “charged” the subtle bodies, where a realization occurred that set a new trajectory, reinforced the Way, began another stage, or a visitation by a Being — a Presence flooded the room, or there was such love or power raised through our rituals that one would say “I am not the same” after the downpour.

Whether we are recipients of the Chalice and furthered along or not, this is secondary to the service we provide by the doing of these ritual disciplines and bringing the energies through for anchoring on the various planes of life in service of the Plan.

It has been a long week, a long night, filled with marvels of light and love and Presences. We are together in this Holy adventure. All this is more than enough to satisfy. And, it’s not over yet! Even when it’s over, it’s not over yet because the energies will continue to make their impact known.

Now we begin the 12 Days … Go there daily, and come here to this page for updates, insights and encouragement.

We will continue with “Thursdays with the Soul Star Group”!

Are we not blessed for this group opportunity !

More to come.

WRITTEN AFTER LAST NIGHT — THIS MORNING:

Some years ago, as I began to drift off to sleep after the Mother’s Night ritual, these words came to mind: “Holy Mother of God, Be With Us in our Birthing Hour”. (These words are now placed onto Mother’s Night…)

We light the 5th Advent Light (in an abbreviated ritual form on the Christmas Day page, or by doing the more in-depth ritual). The 5th Light is Spiritual Attainment and the Light of the World for Humanity.

Every Blessing to you on this Holy Day.

12/24/21

CHRISTMAS EVE

The HOUR is here. All this Day, all this Night.

Hold sacred space for the BIRTHING night.

Late last night and again early this morning, two new excerpts (from Corinne Heline) have been uploaded for our better understanding of the process and energies that are with us now and in the future for all of Humanity (see one Excerpt on the main page for Friday, and see a brief Excerpt on the Mother’s Night page about the Birth).

We attune.

Know that we have been made ready, properly prepared. Whatever stage we are in of ‘Christ made manifest"‘— be it new to be born, born anew, born upon the upward rising spiral of Life — SHE IS WITH US in this Holy Mystery of Birthing. LOVE IS the greatest PRESENCE upon the Holy Earth rising.

(Please REFRESH your pages (URLs) often to see new uploads and edits)

Zoom LINK for those who can join us today, this Thursday, 8 pm GMT, can be found in the Webinar tab.

WEDNESDAY, December 22, 2021

We are not alone. Our ritual disciplines and interior alignments, invocations and evocations, at this seasonal time has placed us en rapport with cosmic Hierarchical forces and potencies. The “penetrating Christ force” makes its impact during this Advent Solstice season — which is what makes this season so very alive and elevating, so very Holy (to use a mystical phrase). What is “with us” now? Let us see. The Christ Force is with us now. The Hierarchies of Angels are with us now. The deep calm and stillness pervading the etheric field of the whole world after the Capricorn Winter Solstice is with us now. The Christ force itself, flowed-through by Life Itself, is with us now anew – infusing every kingdom and every atom with new life. ALL are with us now. “With us” especially because we chose to be with them in a very conscious, intentional way. We prepared to open, we dedicated our focus and our time sacrificing other interests and pursuits, we participated and availed ourselves of the Soul opportunity to ritually “be with” this Solstice season in group approach to Divinity. The subtle effects that these past weeks — and what still lies ahead — will have upon us is as yet unknown, but what we can be sure is it will be foundational to expansions of consciousness and furthering “spiritual achievement”.

“The golden Christ force” enters the earth during the Capricorn Solstice. As it does, “an impulse is released that quickens the life and spiritualizes the conditions of the entire planetary sphere.”

Let us remember this sacred knowledge and hold it ‘front of heart mind’ as the days unfold ahead. Let us not forget. Let us remember who is “with us” now, and why “we are not alone”.

MONDAY, December 20, 2021Dear Friends,

A few Participating Souls wrote today to say they were having a problem finding the Fourth Mountain on the website. I assure you it is there and placed where it should be, so the issue could be that you have not refreshed your URL browser, or just as likely there is a lag in your geographical area by competing low internet bandwidth (or some other such techy reason). Or — perhaps the Fourth Mountain is so elusive that it is fading in and out — which would not surprise me at all!

Here is the direct link to the Fourth Mountain:

https://www.esotericadvent.org/week-four-the-fourth-mountain-2021

After this, PLEASE MAKE SURE you refresh your URL browser OFTEN because I will be making many new edits and inserting new content to the Fourth Mountain week (website page) so without refreshing the URL, you will not be able to see any of it.

On a much deeper Note, today’s MONDAY upon THE FOURTH MOUNTAIN — “Walk Humbly With Thy God” is a very advanced and profound teaching that corresponds energetically with Shambhala - The Center where the Will of God is Known. The Master DK begins his explanation this way:

“This, my brother, is one of the most advanced injunctions in any of the world Scriptures and is found in The Bible. It has no reference to humility as usually interpreted and understood. …”

For us, at our stage of unfoldment and development, we are far from this realization — a “most advanced injunction”, but we can participate in the energy of it by surrendering to the highest reaches of our Soul — which does know this advanced injunction. We will find ourselves drawn up into a great expanse of Love and Life … and by the very attempt, we forward move.

Also, a side note. This stage of Being resonates well beyond the Fourth Mountain of Consciousness. It probably resides closer to the stage of the Sixth Degree/Mountain, but it probably does begin here.

MDK states it has “no relation to the salvation of humanity in any sense at all”, yet Those Who serve to carry such a charge of living life energy will most surely have an effect upon humanity, though it is not Their goal or purpose to do so.

The Fourth Advent Light prepares the Fourth Mountain

SUNDAY — December 19, 2021 (adding to the late night SATURDAY INTO SUNDAY below):

The FOURTH ADVENT LIGHT invocation/evocation was once again powerful and filled to the brim with Light. The centers are humming, especially the Crown and Alta Major Centers. Each Sunday Light of this magical process is a piece of a magical formula, magnifying the potency of the Energy Field being built, like a power generator with each successive Sunday.

Today is the first Day after the Solar Full Moon of Sagittarius which adds to the downpouring spiritual rain of Blessings. I am beginning to understand and experience at a deeper level the word phrase of the Hierarchy — the “Bestower of All Good”.

The FOURTH MOUNTAIN IS UP. Editing will be ongoing for the remainder of the week. MONDAY IS READY. Week Four is always a moving “field”, the church would call it a moving Feast, and dependent upon which Day of the week the December Winter Solstice, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day coincide. It will “appear” before my night is over.

Blessings,

Halina

Saturday - December 18, 2021

Dear Companions Upon the Lighted Way,

Greetings!

The 4th Advent Light ritual is up and ready. Make sure you refresh the URL if you keep these tabs open.

It is as if Kronos time is playing with “the speed of Light” in our journey. This seems to happen every year now as we approach the vibratory reaches of the Third Mountain, especially now as we merge the energy fields of the high vibrations of the Sagittarian Full Moon, and the December Winter Solstice already making its influence felt. Intuitive insights come and go - many of them. What remains is a rich fullness of this period, the magical power of the Mountain itself as a whole, and the strength of the “word to create” when coupled with intention and visualization. The power to manifest is a gift of the 7th ray. It seems to be here now.

There are photos I would love to share, symbols speaking of the process under way. Finding time to upload and reformat them into this space is the challenge. So instead I will describe one. A Unicorn “moved” from where it sat in an undescript place, to the altar. It found its way to be in front of the three Lights symbolizing the Three Aspects of Divinity - which would have been enough of a potent symbol. But in addition to this, it sits facing the 5th Advent Light, as if in expectation, and adoration because he is definitely on his knees. Capricorn is the sign ruling the knees, and humility. “In humility, exaltation” (from Friday). On his knees, the Capricorn Initiate faces the Central Light of the Mountain - the Supernal Light. In the 5th Light, he finds “Spiritual Attainment”, the Christ leading the Way to the Father — the third mountain leading to the fifth. The Unicorn Horn is “The Lighted Way” built from all the preceding mountains (over many life-times). Profound symbolism.

Our Tree seems to have added another dimension to it. To the “Soul Wishes Tree” was added the “Star leads the Way Tree”. The beauty and perfection of the symbols on the tree seem are pulsing with life all their own, so no words would do justice. And yet another dimension, naming itself the “Sacred Magic Tree” — manifesting little miracles. And your trees? Please share in “Soul Conversations”.

The ‘refining fire of the word’ is continuing the task of making constant edits, everywhere.

Anne’s question during the last webinar about world affairs and Sheldon’s response to her is still ringing truth in my mind. In the news, we are seeing Saturn’s law coming through with the force of the gavel in the Department of Justice. It has been long in coming after careful building. Swiftness, a form of “fast upon the Way”, is perhaps more than a metaphor here. People are paying the price for going against the Plan, for not “getting with the Program of the Soul”.

In this morning’s meditation, while momentarily focusing on the Sword of the Angel, new words came flashing forth (the flashes of intuition in Sagittarius) accompanied by a field of power. She bears the Sword of Truth in One Hand and draws upon the Power of the Sun in the other ~ has now changed to: She bears the Sword of Truth — the WILL OF GOD — in One Hand and draws upon the Power of the Sun in the other ~. The Will of God and Truth. Both carry the energy of the First ray of Will and Power. The “Will to Love” of the Solar Logos. Love is not always soft. Love can be terrifying if the Law of Love has been violated. Its movement can be swift and final. Personalities who do not “get with” the program of the Soul after ample opportunities to do so, will not only be left behind. They will find themselves outsourced (an interesting usage of this word) to where they can no longer do harm against the Plan of God. This is akin to the esoteric Teachings where it is written that at the end of a future Age, remnants who refuse to live in accord with the Way of the Light of Love will be transferred to another planet, literally to Mars, an unsacred planet.

Todays Full Moon (FM) is streaming through the Third Mountain and into the Fourth. If you have not done so, read the text of Orienting Thoughts preceding the FM ritual. It is new and carries spiritual weight for this and the next Mountain. Have you noticed that mid-way through the Third Mountain, the energy shifts that could be best described as “gravitas”. It will continue this way to the end. At the same time, Love becomes a living presence of unbelievable depth by the time the 5th Light of Attainment is lit on Christmas morning.

So much more could be written and said, surely you have your own and could share the same.

We send you our love and blessings,

H and S

P.S. I do hope to get a photo of the Third Advent Light to replace the one below, and add the 4th tomorrow.

Dear Friends,

You can find the Link from today’s Webinar — Thursdays with the Soul Star Group — The Third Mountain, on the Webinar tab.

Every meeting is different, and deep. “Goodness” reigns in the energy system for a long time afterwards. It is always a joy to come together.

The substance in the group is growing, like a thickening agent, therefore more tangibly real somehow. Love is like that. Love in the group field “feels” real, is real.

The last page of Day Two in the 7-Day Full Moon Ritual of Group Approach to Divinity seems especially appropriate for this week’s Third Mountain.

Bless you,

Halina

A few edits were made to todays “Wednesday” (on the Third Mountain). It was written that the “gift” of the Third Mountain is Light. While this is true and indisputable, all the Mountains are Light filled. The question arose — what kind of Light, and to what aim? The answer lies in the quoted text:

The gift of the Third Mountain is “The mind of Christ … the rule of divine intelligent love, which stimulates the rule of the soul within all forms, and brings in the reign of the Spirit” — the first touch of the Monad.

It is a manifesting Light, brought “in by the reign of the Spirit”. At the third initiation, we have the first “touch” of the Monad. It is a touch because more than this could be “devastating” . Interesting word, deva-stating. It would “devastate” the devas living in that form before their time. That aside, what is of real import is the “rule of the soul within all forms”. Not the rule of lower forms and the devic lives that constitute those lower forms. Rather, the rule of the Soul who abides in the higher spheres, the Soul on its own plane, which brings in the reign of Spirit. One can sense the currents of these higher spheres, and the entified lives that live there, and the Spirit above them Who lives in a sphere of such vibrational power that it is hard to fathom. I’ve had some experiences worthy to remember and correspond. Were they touches of the Monad? I cannot say, will not say. Decades ago, I performed an ancient ritual called the Bornless One. The energy that came rushing through my crown and form felled me to the ground. Was this a touch of the Monad? There were others. One day I will know, we all will know, for certain. We stay on the trajectory. This is what is important. We circle back above to — “the rule of divine intelligent love, which stimulates the rule of the soul within all forms, and brings in the reign of the Spirit”

One of the most profound and beautifully expressed stories of “Love All” — and which will lead to the next Advent Light — “I Serve”, is a story that was lived through and written into form “from on high” by Henry Van Dyke — The Story of the Other Wise Man. I believe that by reading it, we give the world a service. It is a story so worthy of reading every year at this time. It carries a pure high vibration, and does something profound to you the reader, every time. If you have a partner, take turns reading the brief but richly full chapters to each other. Savor them, allow them to find entry in the space of your home. I believe this little book is a treasure to Humanity. Place the book under your Tree. Or a special place where you see it every day, reminding you of what is contained inside its pages. And let loose when it’s read. It is a story rife with magic, nobility and the vibrational presence of the Great Ones — the Masters of Love-Wisdom. And, yes, last but not least it opens and draws forth — as if by invocation — the great Love and living power of the Christ giving His Blessing to Artaban as he takes his last breath. What more could we want from the Wishing Tree? A wish for the Christ to make His presence known in our lives through an unforgettable recognition of blessing? Now that is a worthy wish.

Blessings to you dear friends, one and all, as we continue moving in the rarified field of “Love All” sub-standing the Third Mountain. I now sense the “EYE” of this Great One upon us — Angel of the Eastern Gate, curious about this little group so intent upon “climbing the Mountain” … and while curious, at the same time is overwhelmingly attentive to our humble efforts, giving extra-ordinary Loving care as if we are precious flowers or gemstones of priceless value. Such Love. Such loving recognition of the Human Spirit created by God, therefore worthy of the highest reverence and honors.

Halina

P.S. The last ornaments found careful placement and a home on the tree today. A tree transforming into amazing beauty and perfectment. Everything on it is a symbol of something magnificent. Stars, Lights, Masters, Angels, the Holy Mother, Messengers, birds, flowers, crystals, numbers through symbols, a living universe of beauty — and in this stunning beauty a speechless rarity of quiet … a stilling silence of infinity. Yes, a living universe.

P.P.S. Day One of the FM process of Sagittarius is now underway for those who want to venture into the gifts of Sagittarius. We who are inwardly walking this journey can participate in it by blending the two. We could do the meditations found here in the Third Mountain and the assigned Day, then add to your discipline the readings and Diamond Soul Practice(s) in the 7-Day Full Moon process. So no need to do the meditations there. Just a thought. This is what we intend to do. But travel lightly. Don’t do too much. Less is more. Purity is a depth of simplicity.

PPPS. A few Posts are now gracing “Soul Conversations”. Take a look. Feel free to make a reply to someone’s post. Or make your own. Its easy. And we want to hear from you.

13/14 December, 2021

Good Morning and Good Evening Friends,

Sunday’s Third Advent Light and the charge to “Love All” was another large entry into a field of Light and Love that filled the room with Itself. And seemingly every room in our body temple.

Entering through the portal of the Third Mountain on this Monday was extraordinary. It was like walking into a prepared room of a subtle high vibration ... known and familiar, unspeakably pure and welcoming.

Every morning, our method is to play a piece of music (of our choice) as Sheldon reads everything out loud in a measured meditative voice and rhythm that presences the energy behind the words written on the page. This is our method and it may not be yours, but we find it works so very well to read everything out loud. He has several tabs open on the website and found “Lux in Tenebris, All Shall Be Well” to play as background music to the Third Mountain. This music was profound for the Third Mountain. Yes, profound, no other word will suffice.

(I will try again to find this piece of music for uploading onto this page (if I can technically locate and access it from an old laptop that is not easy to work).

This week will fly with rapidity towards a climaxing energy due to the Full Moon on the 18th. Past experience has demonstrated it is too much to try to do both this process and the 7-Day Full Moon Ritual. My advice is to stay with the work of the Third Mountain and do the Full Moon Day ritual on Saturday/Sunday (from the 7-Day process and depending on your time zone) which perfectly coincides with a review of the Week (and nothing more on Saturday). In Europe, the Full Moon will be on a Sunday and the 4th Advent Light. This is a lot of High Magic Ritual to do the Full Moon Day Ritual and also the 4th Advent Light. If you find you can only do one and not both, then do the 4th Advent Light and simply allow for more time to absorb the Full Moon energies. All these “movements with” the Sun and Earth are preparations for Winter Solstice Day (next week Tuesday), followed by Christmas Eve and Christ-Mass Day as Billions of Units of Earth Humanity celebrate in their own ways. The Christ and Spiritual Hierarchy makes use of these focused movements by Humanity as it orients toward the “sacred”.

Please continue to refresh your URL on every page you have open on your computer in order to see new content and edits.

Finally — the Soul Conversations tab is now open, allowing everyone to communicate with each other. This will help build the group field as we speak to one another. It is a place to post our insights, our experiences, our inspirations with each other.

Our world is in continuous unrest as tragedies and severe challenges face Humanity around the planet. More than ever before, our Esoteric Advent-Christmas process is an oasis amidst these challenges for offering solace and aid to the vortices of pain around the earth. A few days ago in the U.S., a large swath of mid-west and eastern States were struck by a massive series of tornadoes (one mile wide in some places) traveling over 128 miles, with up to 155 mph winds that destroyed and leveled entire towns and communities, taking lives, leaving people destitute without home or shelter, or electricity. Much of this is the work of Pluto, causing destruction to the bottom or root. Radical means root. Radical destruction takes people to their roots. Worldwide, variants in Covid continue to disrupt and take lives from all walks of life — yet mostly of the elderly (75% of deaths are people aged 65 or older). Challenges to beliefs about science and medicine continue.

Dark forces are but a stones throw away, tempting intrusion and derailment if we let them. It is a worthy reminder to think, live and work as the Hierarchy works. Today’s discipline comes to mind from “An Esoteric Fragment” — “… the Silence of the Centre held in the noise of all the world”.

As before, we plan for “Thursdays with the Soul Star Group” at the same time: 12:00 Noon PST; 3:00 PM Eastern; 8:00 PM GMT. A link will be provided in the Webinar Tab and the session will be recorded.

We are grateful. With you, we are experiencing “the Joys of Group work” in this sacred Mountain process.

Blessings to one and All,

11 December, 2021

Friends,

As Saturn’s Day gives way to Sun Day, we are filled with radiant Thought as the Soul Star Group lights the Third Advent Light, building and releasing the intensification of Light into the world. Accompanying this light, is a force of Light Divine “swinging round the square” to — LOVE ALL.

Prepared for Mountain the Third, ascending Consciousness is nearing the Goal … yet it is the journey that gets us there where the Joy Is — where the Love Is — where the power Is — where wholesome Creativity Is. The Chalice has been building with Light. Living energy is present in the Field, and growing. The Angels are expectant and calling others in. The spine is humming, the Centers are spinning with more refined beauty. Beauty and Order are finding expression … from exquisite refinement to glorious displays. White orchids are quietly shouting “see me!” God is listening in the field, smiling. Love is full. Light, everywhere. Friends appearing. Animals responding. Christmas Trees are glistening as spiral vortices are slowly forming. The magnet is growing abundant with love and life. Symbols and more symbols, portals and gateways — all are pointing in the same direction. Alleluiah.

To the First Advent Light — BE PURE, and the Second — I DEDICATE, on this Day we add the Third — LOVE ALL.

Another deep meeting with each other in today’s Webinar, on this Second Mountain, Week Two - Thursdays with the Soul Star Group - December 9, 2021

“THURSDAY WITH THE SOUL STAR GROUP”

From Andrea:

“I love your idea of recreating the vision and meaning of our Christmas Trees with intentional purpose. Their arrow point shape, that Sagittarian reminder, directs our gazing hearts to look upwards in search of the highest light and purest love. And the star that graces the apex reminds me of our soul star group that is a beacon for all.
I am also reminded of the extraordinary discoveries regarding the unified connectedness, silent communication and love that is being understood to exist within the kingdom of trees. They stand as quiet teachers, angels of grace, for all of us. …”

EDITED: December 7/8, 2021

The Master DK’s depth of writing when speaking about “Love” has brought a fuller and more substantive understanding of what Love Is, and has brought the spiritual Hierarchy home closer to us. The Teachings indicate the spiritual Hierarchy is “the Center where the Love of God is Known”. One can feel the substantive reality and Truth of this statement coming through today’s focus on the “Law of Love”. Today was an immersion in Hierarchy — it’s “Devotion to Love” further revealing the Love of God pervading this universe.

Are we still listening for the overarching impress of “I dedicate”. Today was a dedication to the Law of Love. The only really real thing there is.

This evening we brought home a silver-tip pine Christmas tree, grown on private land in the high Sierra mountains for this purpose. Tall and elegant. Giving its life for this season and reason. When intentionally adorned with magical symbols, it “stands as symbol” for traditions that link humanity to each other, and the stars and eternity.

I had been wondering, and now is a good time to share this wondering, about what Soul magic we would create if this year we celebrated the Christmas Tree in a new way — if we evoked a special attribute to our trees. In Christmas movies put out by Hall Mark, one special movie centered around “The Wishing Tree”. People young and old would place their “wishes” onto the tree, and if sincere enough, soul enough and pure of heart, their wishes would magically happen (manifest).

Would you like to create such a tree this year? What if we gave it a name that reflected a deeper intention such as the “Lightness and Freedom of Being Tree” or the “Joy of Life Tree” or “Joy of Manifestation Tree” or “The Magical Creation Tree” or “The Soul Wishing Tree”. The Esoteric Advent-Christmas process has been a “serious” inward journey of expanding Consciousness and simultaneous anchoring of that which we “touch” onto the planes of daily living. By adding “lightness” to the profound work we are engaged in, we reinforce the joy and bliss that exists in the higher worlds. What if we intend our trees to be portals, and a means for magical manifestations?

What if this year, we brought the energies we touch and bring through, into the magical Christmas tree to serve as a portal of entry, and conduit, for calling forth and manifesting our deepest Devotions and for ever-renewal (in the symbol of ever-green)? Let us therefore carefully formulate and place these Thoughts in writing onto the Tree.

It is a Joy walking and being with you on this mountain.

Friends walking the Lighted Way during Christmas—Advent,

This Second Sunday of Advent lighting ritual brought a flood of Light from the Angel of the Southern Portal. And with the Light came a Loving Presence. It was a familiar presence, a known presence, and a kind of potent arrival that only occurs when someone “big” walks through the door into the room! The same was true today in the presence of the Solar Angelic Being guiding our group process.

The power of ritual continues to amaze, reinforcing this method of working for contacting higher energies and serving as vehicles for anchoring and distribution. Consecrated Ritual magic will increasingly be used by disciples and initiates as the Aquarian age unfolds in the decades ahead.

Did we recently say what a joy it is to be with you again, working in this way? Tomorrow’s (Wednesday’s “Pilgrim”) carries a clue about this when referencing rhythmic notes and tones.

You will notice that as you re-enter the second Mountain/Week-II, written content was edited, reorganized and being moved toward the top of the page to give the concrete mind its place and due, thence allowing for a smooth transition inward to the planes of Buddhi — Loving Mind.

Please send your thoughts and sharings to EsotericAdvent1@gmail.com I read and reply to everyone. At some point the tab titled Soul Communications will be opened for anyone to make a post!

Good night — good morning and blessings upon your Day!

WEEK ONE of Esoteric Advent - Christmas with the Madonna Laboris

https://spaces.hightail.com/receive/1ZzPOsf7fZ

December 4, 2021

Friends,

The Second Sunday of Advent ritual is now uploaded.

If you are in the southern hemisphere and are a Day ahead, we suggest you work with the Sunday in the northern hemisphere for the majority to be working in relative unison. Ultimately, however, work as you deem it best.

From time to time someone will send in their experience or Sharing/Commentary. This morning, arriving in my inbox was a note from one of our Participating Souls, on the last day of WEEK ONE with the Madonna Laboris.

“Today's Meditation reading was for me transformative!! It was an extension of Thursday's zoom image/experience where I experienced myself within the chalice of the SS Group and saw the many other chalices of like-minded groups, and felt the energy within all of them as one.

Today in Saturday's meditation/reading, the image/experience evolved. The chalices totally covered a map of the U.S. and they overflowed (the "cups runneth over") flooding the country with this "saving force" for Good, to save the soul of the country. I saw it, I experienced it, I felt it, I was "of it". And for the first time, I can say I truly believe in and have experienced its power. The will of God. I feel a new sense of liberation, a freedom from personality, a weight lifted. It's a leap forward which will deepen my continuing work and participation as an evolving soul. Somehow I've established a new link between my growth as a human soul and the power of service for Good.”

Yes! That’s It! A marvelous living experience and perception of the Oneness of the Group of World Servers and Serving Groups, and the power of the Saving force and “the Will to Good” at work.

As Soul Stars, we are each others gifts in this Group, and as a Group, we are a gift to the Soul of Humanity!

Saturday’s Diamond Soul practice comes as a healing balm today. Our country mourns yet again after one more mass shooting from an automatic weapon in the hands of children killing children. What utter madness.

Today we are in energies of the New Moon of Sagittarius — making strides forward for the greater Good of Humanity, in cooperation with the spiritual Hierarchy!

December 3, 2021

Late tonight pacific time is the NEW MOON of Sagittarius / early AM Eastern.

Very important to tune in, link in. There is a ritual designed for New Moons on this website.

Blessings,

Halina and Sheldon

P.S. A few edits below to what was posted in the wee hours last night!

December 2, 2021

Friends - what a wonderful Webinar meeting we had today in the great Heart of the Soul Star Group. Our words expressed a coming together upon a higher turn of the spiral, built upon all our previous work. We are standing now within a fuller, wider, substantive foundation from which all our work in the preceding year(s) as Souls, and as a Soul Group, has wrought. In this new substantive energy field, we will move forward.

An interesting “symbol” was brought to mind confirming the above. About a month ago, I pulled a book off the shelf in the living room that had stood with the “Blue Books” titled, The Divine Plan (written by theosophist teacher, Geoffrey A. Barborka). This book somehow migrated into the Soul Chamber/Council Chamber and survived the pre-described white whirlwind “cleaning, purification and ordering” process that had preceded last Sunday’s first Advent Lighting ritual. In other words, it did not return to the shelf whence it came. Instead, it was moved and remains holding its position on the desk — my laptop sitting on top of it — the laptop from which “Esoteric Advent — Christmas” is written and conducted. The Divine Plan is a significant symbol. Questions now arise to ponder: With what part of the Divine Plan does Esoteric Advent resonate, express, move into, build upon? Is the Divine Plan opening a Hierarchical channel to and through Esoteric Advent? How is the Divine Plan foundational to Esoteric Advent? Thoughts to ponder.

Words and thoughts shared by participants encompassed a range of beautiful “high points of contact”. Sharings were so very appreciative to be a Participating Soul in this group, sharings of being “at home”, sharings of love and light, of growth and fuller identification with and as the Soul, moves and movement, identification with higher purpose … were finely and beautifully expressed, including practical applications. To do justice, we suggest listening to the webinar - it is well worth hearing and pondering. A link will be provided if you missed it or if you want to hear it again.

I shared that this year, SHE did not send an emissary Angel in advance of our beginnings. At first I was concerned, wondering why, had something changed? Tuning In and asking about it, we concluded that the Field, and a “body” has been substantively built by the group — the group Soul has knit and weaved together with the finest of filaments a body or chalice of reception — for this, our 8th year. And, we as a Soul Group can be counted upon, trusted to continue — we are now a Presence on the inner planes.

~ BE PURE ~

The North pole is the residence of the northern star, the Pointers, giving direction for our Earth. Let us “radiate that diamond point, hold it, and live from within its Center”. The Pointers are nestled above the northern pole, two stars in the heavens, one the personality, the other, Spirit. Spirit leads with a Monadic touch … as it is far more powerful than Soul force.

Rotary motion — Spiral cyclic motion — Straight ascent in Being

Personality — Soul — Monad

After leaving today’s webinar filled with so much light and love, an experience of today’s Thursday focus came swiftly into demonstration through its opposite. After so much love and light, appreciation and gratitude, deep soul insights and movements of soul into greater life …. opposites appeared in extreme — projected hatred, cruel lack of care, political, social and moral hypocrisy, guns leading to death, the ruins of ideology in human relations …

This is the work for the Mediatrix. We too must function as such, as a Mediatrix in the various stages of identification with and as “The Soul”. Are our vehicles neutral enough — pure — to take a hit (withstand the blows) and stay centered to lift “whatever” into a higher Soul matrix?

“Pure Love neutralizes conflicting dualities on the astral plane”

Remember our best fires. Augment them. Magnify them.

When Christ said, “I am the Light of the World”, “I am the Love of the World”, this is identification with the best inner “fires” — with the higher planes of Identification. Identification does not leave its post.

Universal Love is identification with all Beings.

Separation falls away ... separation dis-appears.

NOTE: The Soul Star Group list is complete. It can be found in two places - inside the Four Sundays of Advent, and on its own tab under the name - Participating Souls - 2021. We expect more participating Souls will join.

DECEMBER 1, 2021

We will be having a Zoom Webinar this Thursday, December 2 at 3 PM Eastern Time zone and Noon Pacific Time Zone. Go to the Webinar Tab to see the full information. For just the link, click here:

THE MAGIC CANDLE OF THE VIRGIN

In 1105, a terrible epidemic of epilepsy struck the region of Artois in northwestern France, causing convulsions, hallucinations, and gangrene. The bishop of Arras prayed to the Virgin to bring relief. Mary then appeared to two trouveres (poets) who detested each other. She commanded them to go to Arras, where they would receive a church candle. They then had to reconcile and light their candle in the presence of the bishop. They were to let the candle wax drip into containers full of water and give the water to those who were ill. Those who had faith would be cured, and the rest would die.

The two enemies did as they were told. In the cathedral of Arras, they saw the Virgin come down from the vaulted ceiling in a flood of light, carrying the miraculous candle. When they took the candle, the Virgin disappeared. The poets gave the water for the ill to drink and anointed their sores with the liquid. That same day, the 144 dying people in the cathedral were cured. The taper was given the name of Saint Candle and its drips were used to make a great quantity of other holy candles which were distributed in the churches of Artois. In the thirteenth century, the brotherhood of minstrels and bourgeois of Arras organized a devotional group for the veneration of the miraculous candle.

NOVEMBER 28/29/30 — 2021

Dear Friends Upon the Lighted Way …

All are Friends in this work, often the deepest of Friends are found not in one’s natal family but in the kin of spiritual lineage and spiritual Family.

Preparations for this year’s Advent was like being inside an unexpected current of purification, unknown to me at the time what would come to pass as the first Advent Light shifted from the East (last year’s ritual) to the North (this year) to “BE PURE”, thereby profoundly coinciding with this force. More to say about this later.

The time spent in the first week prior to the First Sunday of Advent is normally shared between preparing and editing the rituals and pages on the website, and the administrative tasks around registration. This year, a current of purification and order took over, sweeping through and “ordering” the environment. It began some months earlier, intensified two weeks before, and in the final few days increased into a grand finale until “it” was done and complete. The last two days forced a cleanout and purification of the “Soul Chamber” unlike ever before. Accumulated papers and boxes were removed or put away, surfaces dusted, floor washed, books were placed on shelves, some were removed to make space for others, and an overall beautification and ordering ensued that lifted the room to renewed purpose, beauty, order and heightened energy. Even the name Soul Chamber now has a new name sharing energetic space with the former — “The Council Chamber”. These past few days, I said to Sheldon more than once, I sense that an intensification of energy will come through the group this year, that there has been an upward turn upon the spiral, allowing for a new power — hierarchical power, to pour through the Soul Star Group. All the above preparations represent but one aspect of readiness to receive the incoming energy.

The ritual for the first Sunday of Advent was re-written, representing a major change in the upward spiral of energies being invoked, about which I will elucidate later. In brief, we moved from a physical planetary emphasis to an inner Hierarchical emphasis.

As a result of the time invested in all the above, what would normally be sent out to the group “to have ready” did not happen, so it is included here now. We will have a smaller group this year than last, most here are old hands and know what to expect, but we do have with us a handful of newcomers and it is for you that the following is written, and for the rest of us to be reminded (we all need reminders) - make special note of point number three:

STEPS TO OUR PROCESS

While there are many layers of depth and complexity built into this ritual, the process we follow is simple:

1) Every Sunday of Advent begins with a Meditation, the Naming and Loving of all Participants, and a ritual Invocation/Evocation that includes Lighting the Advent Light. For most it will be best to do this ritual in the morning, but whatever time you choose, try to do it at the same time. Read through it first in full, and take your time in doing it – we are working with real energies.

2) Monday begins a new week of ritual attunements, moving us progressively deeper (or higher, the meaning is the same) upon a Mountain Ascent. We can revisit the website for the practice throughout the Day to maintain a continuity of remembrance; some may want to follow the ancient Egyptian rhythmic movement of the Sun – daybreak, high noon, sunset and before sleep (representing the midnight hour).

3) Every Thursday at Noon (Pacific time, 3 PM Eastern) – 8 PM GMT, we will have an in-person zoom meeting for approximately one hour for all who are interested in coming together to touch in, share experiences, ask questions, make comments … and to deepen our group process. A link will be provided in the Tab titled “Thursday Zoom Links” … All are Welcome to participate or just listen.

4) Please check this tab titled “Communicating With You” daily (or every other day). We also encourage you to share impressions by writing to esotericadvent1@gmail.com. I may re-open the Soul Conversations tab which is another place and way to share.

5) We BEGIN on the website https://www.esotericadvent.org/ — Christmas 2021 / 2022:

a) Communicating With You – the first tab on top for communications

b) First Sunday Ritual of Advent (Second Sunday, and so on)

c) First Mountain Ascent (Second Mountain, and so on)

d) Participating Souls – List of our Names and Locations.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR WEEK ONE:

1. For each Sunday of Advent – plus one, have ready a NEW candle (electric light, or symbolic Light) to symbolically build a 5-pointed Star. Plus any ritual accoutrements you enjoy in creating sacred space and for building the Advent field (flowers, incense, music, symbols, books, etc.).

2. A White Scarf for Week One – to emulate, symbolize, participate and contribute to the work with the Madonna Laboris – an aspect of the Virgin Mother, Mother of the World, Venus. She is a Heart Being of Divine origin Who carries “the Saving Force”. She is real and powerfully present throughout the entire process of Christmas and each Mountain ascent. We begin with the Madonna Laboris to lay the foundation for this sacred ritual process. She is already “With Us” in the field energies. Welcome Her. Make no mistake that She is the grand Conductor. Queen of Angels. To say more would only limit Her in our perception.

NOTE: if you do not have a white scarf, use the power of your imagination worn around your neck during the weekly rituals.

WE BEGIN in the common ground of the universal Cosmic Christ principle – the field of Divine Love, pouring through every atom of Creation making all things new.

H & S
P.S. All the readings, meditations, sacred sounds and imagery will "take you in" deeper and wider into the greater whole, over time. We are working with real energies, with real forces, therefore let us take nothing for granted. Be awake and alert. In one instance, things may seem “normal” and inconsequential, and in the next, a whole world opens up causing us to “see into” and work with. The Madonna Laboris is a Being of great power. At the same time She is of great gentleness and Grace. It may seem paradoxical, but in actuality, these reveal Her many facets. We too have many facets in our nature that are drawn out depending upon the circumstances or need. Let us Be aware that one part of Her role is to “make us ready” to “meet” the Christ — the Christ energies, which are potent beyond measure. I had read, but did not choose to believe, what was written in "Catholic" books, that Mary brings us to the Christ. Now, I better understand the meaning of this as real.

LAST YEARS COMMUNICATIONS ~ FOR 2020 …

January 10 — What do we do now? We continue with the meditations - we enter the sacred portal through “The 12 Days of Christmas”, we daily attune using the Daily Meditation, and we keep a sustained focus in the energy of Capricorn. We may also want to enter into the tab titled the “12 Lights of Life” — click on Capricorn to find additional content, Diamond Soul Practices and Contemplations for each month (beyond our monthly 7-Day Solar Full Moon processes).

As we continue to absorb and move through the aftermath of the sacred process we have just completed, let us allow “a settling in” of these energies and high points of contact to continue. Let us be reminded that we are now focused in the Light of Capricorn, and are carrying with us the Light of all that we had touched, invoked, evoked, and embodied.

Let us not ‘come down from the mountain top’ or ‘turn our back on that light’ too soon. We turn our back and come down from the Mountain when the sun enters Aquarius, the sign of group service. It is important for us to stay in these energies for as long as possible, for the Light that we have contacted to settle in more deeply into the Soul and the recesses of our instrument.

We are reminded in Capricorn: "The result of any experience in any sign of the zodiac should definitely work out as an expansion of consciousness and, no matter what form this experience may take, it consummates in an initiation of some kind or another. Students would do well to regard initiation as a determining process in life and should endeavor that every life experience or cycle of life experiences should work out as an initiation into a wider field of awareness, of expression and of resultant contact. Following this is the inauguration of a new cycle of effort."

The Epiphany (zoom meeting) was such a gift to all of us, even to those who were not present (because the energy fills the chalice of the group heart and is still present and accessible by all). The high note of the conversations, the depth, the beauty, the sacredness of souls passing beyond the veil, the high note of invocation in the meditation … all of it continues “flowing” within, and in the Esoteric Advent group, and into the world “where on earth we live”

Received in a note today, “one among us” shared a beautiful sense of gratitude and an awareness:

“It is a privilege to be part of the Esoteric Advent Group and I am wordless to thank enough for your great efforts. The last Zoom was wonderfully made and I felt like everyone was in very high spirit. … So many impressions received and such an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. The realization that we live in an Angelic Solar System made me aware of our duties and reminded me of the respect you [we] owe Them. In fact we are living [in] Them and not otherwise. The Angelic units are exceedingly higher than the human units … according to M DK.”

Gratitude such as this blesses all of us — the whole group. And in the awareness of “living inside an Angelic Solar System, we inside Them”, is one example of DK’s words above that every sign works out as an “initiation into a wider field of awareness”. He is speaking of living an entire life cycle through a Sign, as well as smaller life learning cycles. It is true that we live inside an ‘entified universe’, inside a great Deva called SPACE. To intellectually know this is one thing, but to experience it as an embodied living experience — is altogether something more.

Sheldon said today, “we are being “lived through” by higher Beings, we are invited into a new opening and life process. Every moment, almost everything we do is being guided by "Initiation" because "It" is a "determining process in life".

In the past few days and again this morning, we had been thinking how Esoteric Advent—Christmas was a means for us to apply ourselves during such focused “spiritual retreats” to dive deep, to enter into and sustain a high vibration. This is the purpose of spiritual religion, to use it as a means and purpose for unfolding divinity with resultant "contact". And as newer teachings are brought into religion such as we do in Esoteric Advent, then that “religion” is fulfilling its purpose.

There is a conjunction in the heavens right now (Jan 8 - 11) between Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury portending a new and higher heavenly communication. Higher Mercury is the great communicator between high and low, linking heaven and earth.

Bless and Be Blessed - Is the Law of Love

January 6/7 — A most blessed Epiphany to everyone. The Epiphany page is now open to peruse and ENTER INTO in preparation for our harvest and closing, deepening the experience of where we have been, and are going. (See the Thursdays Zoom link page for the time and link).

Epiphany is an annual cosmic celebration and release of energies for which each of us has been preparing. “Epiphany is the “manifestation” and “showing forth” of the Christed Man” (CH). The arrival of the three Wise Men is our higher nature bringing gifts to the Christ. It is a time to dedicate and re-consecrate our lives to the growing, unfolding inner Christ that takes periodic birth in form with increasing strength and power. It is a threefold dedication giving our gifts. During this time we have been consciously cultivating spiritual qualities that eventually become spiritual powers for service. During this time we make a deeper, inner connection with the Christ “coming closer”.

In recent world news “strife” is yet again evidenced in the outer world. Our cultivated gifts of Light and Love Shine brighter and stronger, with increased power. We SHINE BRIGHTER because of who we are — where we have been, what we have become in the world of form and what we are becoming as we move into the future.

MAY THE LIGHT OF LOVE THAT SHINES IN THE DARKNESS SHINE EVER MORE PURELY THROUGH OUR PERFECTING VEHICLES OF EXPRESSION FOR ALL THE WORLD TO BE LIFTED THEREBY.

January 4 — The Christ Spirit settles deep into the Earth during the 12 Days of Christmas following the “Birth” … “flooding the inner planes with vibrancy and power” …

January 2/3 — Bringing blessings of Beauty and Light — the Christic Chalice holding the Light of the World distributes that Light …

~ CHRIST OVERSHADOWING ~

The “etheric presence” of the Christ — With Us

◊ ◊ ◊

JANUARY 1, 2021 - A blessed new year beginning on this first day.

~ We love and hold each of you in the heart and mind of Christ ~

AUM - OM - AMEN

◊ ◊ ◊

Dec 30 — A blessed full moon here last night (on the west coast of the U.S.) Amazing “light”. And “pressure”. And “weight” of spiritual response. A symbol of white roses in full bloom - Capricorn Roses. Purity and beauty of the high mountain top. I’ll upload a photo soon.

The Christ Principle manifesting seems to be the theme. The Christ Light (therefore Life says DK) — the Light of the World — Cosmic, Solar, Planetary, Individual through each and every one of us as we increasingly become Christs walking the planes of the Earth — serving as and through this sacred Light “where on earth we live” — as has been pre-ordained for all time, from the beginning — increasingly becoming more real, as intended from On High. All this is the inner meaning of “Esoteric Advent” — the advent or coming of the Christic Principle — the Christ Presence revealed in and through all forms — through the fabric and layers of reality. What more could one really want, or aspire to? This is the Plan. “It is written”. In the records. This is the “Great Work” of the Divine Alchemist. We are fulfilling the plan, day by day, step by step, vibrational rung after another. Ineradicable Goodness, the ultimate triumph and inevitable solution. Walking the Way of the Magi. Yes, we Are the Magi, the Triune Self, ineradicable Goodness.

The Coming, the Advent of the Christ Principle is but a reminder of what we Are. What is more real than this? No-thing. If something appears tempting to be more real than that, discard it at once, consider it an illusion attempting to convince you otherwise causing the loss of much time and energy. One goal now. It is the fastest Way.

◊

Please note there will be no meeting scheduled tomorrow, “Thursdays With the Soul Star Group”. However and always, the SSG is with us - one and all, brimming with spiritual response.

DEC 29 — We are with you dear Friends. What a blessing it is to be in the supra-imprint of the Constellations one day after the next in these 12 Days of Christ-Mass. Each constellational Day is not a day in human terms. And now we are within the sacred energy field of the Solar Capricorn Full Moon. How perfectly timed this Full Moon day is in relationship to the 4th DAY of Cancer - the exact opposite Sign of Capricorn making it One Sign. This synchronicity is auspicious and only those who would be following the 12 Days of Christmas would know of it. We are Blessed beyond measure.

PLEASE NOTE: I chose to place Day Three and Full Moon Day for participants in the West on the same Day because of the late hour of the Full Moon. For Europe and much of the Southern Hemisphere, Day Three and Full Moon Day (Day Four) arrive on two different calendar days.

DEC 27 — Friends - the 7 Day Solar Full Moon process for Capricorn begins today. If you intend to participate in both the 12-Days of Christmas (that began yesterday) and the 7-Day Full Moon process, then there is no need to do both Group Meditations. Only one alignment is needed. Enjoy this process.

Some among us may feel over-loaded with all the “spiritual opportunity” presented at this time, as if we are on a non-stop spiritual marathon! Let us be refreshed, not burdened. The fact that the Capricorn Full Moon follows so closely to all the preceding events is “good fortune” (to use an I-Ching phrase). The ongoing energy movements in the “heavens” support us in holding a high point of tension. Let us ride the energy waves for the currents to uphold us. Yes, it does feel we are being stretched. It is in part how we self-initiate ourselves into a new and wider consciousness, and these are lessons of stabilizing the frequency of a higher vibration. As a group, the support is here.

The new world needs us now as never before.

Blessings to One and All.

DEC 26 — Dear and Blessed Co-Journeyers Upon the Mountains — Do you believe it? Christmas Day has arrived and now passed! I do not, cannot “believe” it, no. Truly it is all One Day. And now we begin our 12 Days round the zodiac, re-igniting the 12 points of the inner Heart in the Crown — a Crown of Lights indeed.

And, the Capricorn Full Moon process begins as well, in parallel. Content for this will be up soon.

Re-open Christmas Day if last you saw it yesterday morning. A little bit of rearranging, reminding us of the Inner and the Outer. The deeper ritual invoking the Presence of the Christ and inner group of Great Potency was so very powerful and real. Sheldon nearly insisted we’ve never done this ritual before! We have of course done it every year. What is new is the depth and living presence of the spiritual Hierarchy. The mutual approach is coming closer.

One among us wrote today: “For me, and many others, I feel this time has been deeply inner and quiet, more so than previous years. Please know that in our outward silence we have been deeply together.”

Yes, deeply together. We stand in the Love Field — the Heart of the Logos that is more real than whatever is happening in the outer world.

DEC 25 — Dearest Friends - we are with you in the blessings of "GLORY TO GOD, PEACE ON EARTH AND GOODWILL TOWARDS MEN"

Dec 24/25 — A friend sent this link to a song to The Mother, sung by an unusual “devotional” duo. Enjoy, and have a tissue handy: (32) Eric Clapton, Luciano Pavarotti, East London Gospel Choir - Holy Mother (Live) - YouTube

Dec 24 — With You.

A blessed DAY to you friends. It was wonderful to be with those who gathered today. It was recorded this time on the cloud (NOTE: for privacy reason the Recording link in the Zoom tab is removed - if you want to view it, write me personally at esotericadvent1@gmail.com and I will send you the link).

Blessings to one and all as we move deeper into the Birthing “hour” with the great Mother Presence.

Please read Dec 22 again, with the music of Alleluiah playing, … and Dec 21 and Dec 20.

DEC 22 - Upon entering Winter Solstice Day and all that it has released, we have entered a fullness and a richness, what for many will be experienced as a high point of group and individual attainment for this time. If there was nothing more to reach toward in this wide season of Light, it would already be more than enough!

We have entered the 4th Mountain. The “atmosphere” vibrates with purity, a refined and subtle vibration.

Let us stay a little while longer, as it is too soon to move to another Day. Strongly impressed to “Stay with What Is”, we extend and sustain the Solstice energy, allowing it to settle in more deeply. The Solstice light, the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn, the lighting of the 5th Light of Spirit (and Spiritual Attainment), each and all are of tremendous import and impact — each are playing an energy role upon the 4th Mountain. Each is a soul rocket ship taking us places.

We have yet to see where we are landing, who we have become, what is next. Yes, too soon for all this.

Therefore, we suggest going into Winter Solstice Day once again — choosing a section to “be with” … to stay with … to contemplate … to move deeper into — such as:

May “the life of every day Be a divine sphere of spiritual livingness”

Alleluiah

DEC 21 — As the sacred Light of the Winter Solstice distributes gift waves of Solar Light upon the planes of Earth - through the Earth and all Life within and upon Her form, all is rendered PURE - if for but a moment in the timelessness of this Day. And oh how potent that moment has been. Reinforced by Jupiterian Love and Saturnian Light giving their Gifts … we all can sense portending messages of a destined future. We with conscious aspirants and disciples shall continue Lighting the Way for a new world unfolding, sensed and known to be real, but as yet hard to see.

֎ ֎ ֎

The Winter Solstice Ritual is ready for all who would like to participate in a guided ritual in your own time. It can of course be performed at the exact moment (best) or anytime during the 12 hour period before or after.

NEW/RE-ENTER: Tuning-in with the SOUL STAR GROUP - entering once again the Winter Solstice ritual, or a portion of it, during the exact moments of union between Jupiter and Saturn (at 11:50 AM Pacific time / 7:50 PM GMT) — hold in heart-mind for Humanity ~“Peace Be on Earth and Goodwill to ALL” ~ sounding it as a mantric phrase, at least three times.

Afterwards, in the felt experience of a true pause, follow your own soul-filled intention for the year and years ahead marking the beginning of a new expression and dispensation — that like an arrow of intuition — you will meet in the future (with the knowledge that Saturn brings Soul opportunity …).

Yesterday, during a presentation by three Board Members for Meditation Mount (Ojai, CA) for the Solstice and Lighting the 4th Advent Light, I used a portion of the Sunday Advent ritual, preceded by a 15 minute talk on the deeper meaning of Advent, the Solstice and The Light of the World — however the audio quality was poor for the first seven minutes and portions of it could not be heard. If you are interested in reading the transcript, I offer it here now: CLICK HERE MEDITATION MOUNT Dec. 20, 2020 (edited late on 12/21/20)

DEC 20 — We have now entered a prelude, the antechamber to the Sacred Silence of the Planetary God and Solar God standing in sacred alignment. Their PRESENCE manifests as a sense of fullness … of Love … and Beauty. The energy field is sounding … BE STILL.

Blessings to one and all.

The 4th ADVENT LIGHT is now lit - BE PURE.

Do you sense Purity sounding through the ethers?

As if Purity, a Being — not a conditioned state, had been waiting for someone, anyone, to participate with profoundly sensitive Awareness. We did that. Yes. Not just someone, but a whole group of someones.

Purity Is

ALLELUIAH

DEC 19 — The idea for Saturday (and also for Sunday in addition to Lighting the 4th Advent Light) is to review the week. I realize now that by not putting this in writing somewhere on the page, it may have caused some to wonder what happened to Saturday? I will do so to make it right now. Yet I trust that this is exactly what most of you had done. Even without something specific for a Saturday/Sunday Soul practice, the daily meditation is sufficient in its depth and magic. Our review of the week today included a drive to the mountains after a heavy snow fall. The tall pines, firs and cedars growing in the forest were laden with heavy snow and a marvel to see along the winding road as I drove and Sheldon read aloud from “Mountain the Third”. The tall trees played into the magic, like angelic sentinels. At one point he said, “The angels have landed on the tress blessing us with their pure white snow”.

DEC 18 - Friends, On Sunday, Meditation Mount will be having a pre-Solstice Zoom event describing the Jupiter Saturn alignment, and the 4th Candle Lighting Ritual of Advent. People will begin gathering online 15 minutes before the official start time at 6 PM PT / 9 PM ET / 2 AM GMT. The meeting will last 45 minutes. This is simply information if you are interested.

Here is the Link to more information: Solstice Celebration Meditation (mailchi.mp)

DEC 17 - Our meeting today — “Thursdays with the Soul Star” was deeply and profoundly soulful. Thank you to those who attended anchoring our group life in and through the form.

DEC 16 - This Friday, Dec 18, Jupiter and Saturn begin to swing into each others orbit (a very close conjunction) whose combined presence can be felt by those who are sensitive and tuned in.

“The exact time of the conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter moving into zero degrees Aquarius begins Saturday, December 19 at 5:07 AM Pacific time / 1:07 PM GMT.

Jupiter 00º00 Aquarius

Saturn 00º15 Aquarius

The moment they are in exact conjunction is Monday, December 21at 11:50 AM Pacific time.

Jupiter 00º30 Aquarius

Saturn 00º30 Aquarius

These exact times are based on the longitude and latitude of Los Angeles, so depending where you are in the world the time would change.” (D. Lang)

In the meantime, please enjoy this image, courtesy of Antonella Nobilio, of the conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter coming closer together since the September 21 Autumnal Equinox. Following this image, she shares some global events in which to participate.

As we know, the world is now moving through a crisis of a major transformation leading to a total Renewal when the Spring of Humanity will blossom on Earth.

The epochal conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn, for the first time in Aquarius (since 1404; heliocentric on Nov, 2, 2020 and geocentric on Dec, 21 2020), marks a decisive step towards this luminous Spring. Jupiter is our solar Master of Love while Saturn is our solar Master of Light and at this extraordinary convergence with the earthly solstice They generate a powerful impulse in hearts and minds towards the New Era of universal Brotherhood.

Afterwards, join the CHALICE OF SILENCE Facebook Live Event

Dec 14 — Monday: NEW MOON IN SAGITTARIUS GMT 4:18 PM; 8:18 AM PT; 11:18 AM ET.

Suggestion: Meditate with the Soul Star Group utilizing the daily Group Meditation from Week TWO during this time. Let us BE in Sacred Silence with the Spiritual Hierarchy and the Lord of the World. Or one could repeat the Ritual for the Third Advent Light.

Dec 13 - Sunday. Friends, for todays THIRD ADVENT LIGHT, a small correction was made in the ritual when instructed: “Now Light the SECOND Advent Light from the flame of the previous Light, whilst intoning with Soul Power” - this should have said Now Light the THIRD Advent … I hope this did not throw you off. Also, for this ritual you may have noticed the hand gestures were simplified, using only the dominant hand in the section saying “With Noble Heart, and Pure Intent ….” (followed by both hands reaching up into Divinity). It is now natural and flows. Please know that it is not perfection we seek when first beginning, rather, it is ones sincerity of intention, deepening inner poise, and purity of effort that will result in making contact with the Real and bringing through the energies — and the only thing that ‘really matters’. This is also why one can mentally visualize the entire ritual with the same effects. The perfection of form comes with use and repetition (and with a perfected working ritual — which is on me — and which will grow with power over time and use — so I thank you for your patience). This year included in the invocation of the Angels are FOUR WORDS from an ancient text given by Master DK. With use, this year and in the years to come, it will grow and come alive.

NOTE: If you are a Participating Soul but have not registered, then you will not appear in the Group Soul list of names. Some Souls are missing who have been with us for many years. Did you forget to register?

Tomorrow we begin our Third Mountain ascent. This THIRD MOUNTAIN is an important week for heightening our group vibration. This is the WEEK to increase and hold a greater “point of tension” — “no matter what” — no matter what is happening in the world, in or around us. As we work “this way”, we can expect the Real to manifest through the Soul Star Group and be registered in our auric field and consciousness. This THIRD WEEK is timed perfectly with the auspicious Winter Solstice moment and Saturn Jupiter conjunction — which is With Us even now. The most important factor is for us to work as a Group — and the daily Group Meditations will achieve this above everything else.

Let us be reminded that according to HPB, a Saturn-Jupiter conjunction was present two thousand years ago and was the “Star” guiding the three wise men. These two planets were so close that they appeared as One very bright Star. Their combined Presence in our solar system was significant for the Planetary Logos and Hierarchy, unfolding the Plan of God for the First Advent Appearance of the Christ on Earth. We are here again.

Something “sacred and profound” has started to gel and deepen with our Thursday gatherings — Meeting with the Soul Star Group. We will continue to meet at the one hour earlier time frame from now on: 7 PM GMT —11 AM PT — 2:00 PM ET. Look for the link in the Zoom tab below.

Dec 12 - The Third Advent Lighting Ritual is now complete and uploaded for Sunday, 12/13/2020. The Participating Souls list has also been updated with a few new Participating Souls joining us.

The Second Advent Lighting Ritual was also revised today (in an ever perfecting process - for the future). The first First Advent Lighting Ritual will probably need to be revised to reflect more recent changes.

FOR YOU: The Great Jupiter Saturn Conjunction 21st December 2020 - “Properly prepared we must always be.”

Astrologer PAM GREGORY offers a deep astrological description and understanding of the significance of this Conjunction, why it is important, what to expect. In the disciplines of Esoteric Advent - Christmas ritual, we are attuned to staying true to our highest Soul note as a group and as an individual, during this time. We are about to begin the THIRD MOUNTAIN which will take us up to the time of this conjunction.

See her video in the following link (copy and paste). “Hold your vision, hold your faith, there’s a big shift coming”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FnfUve-Qz0&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=PamGregory

Dec 8/9/10 - PLEASE NOTE: This coming Thursday’s zoom webinar will take place one hour earlier: 7 PM GMT / 11 AM PT / 2:00 PM ET. This will allow some to attend another webinar that begins at Noon PT / 3 PM ET.

Dec 8 - such a beautiful post today in Soul Conversations by Andrea. I literally felt the “blessing” radiating from the words, like waves of concentric circles. Thank you!

The presence of the Angel of the Lord is growing in strength and beauty. It filled our space this morning with such love and presence. It is a joy walking this lighted path together - lifting the field of Humanity with the Soul Star Group, step by step. This too is a service that touches all the pain spots on the planet, all the areas of illusion, leading to victory and breakthrough. The Christmas Advent season energies provide divine opportunity for deepening Silence, for lifting the entire energy field of the Human Race to a higher vibration.

Dec 7 — Welcome, dear Friends, to advancing upon the Lighted Way with our Second Mountain Ascent!

Dec 5/6 - The First and Second Advent Lighting Rituals have been revised to include an ancient writing from the Master’s archives dating to Atlantean times in the OLD COMMENTARY. They refer to the FIVE QUALIFICATIONS OF THE WHITE MAGICIAN, and while appearing to be simple, together they pave the road to Attainment: Be Pure, I dedicate, Love All, I Serve. These correspond with the Four cardinal directions and gateway portals to great Angels overseeing them (at least this is how I have constructed the ritual to link them together). They will now be incorporated into all Four Sunday Advent Rituals and a Fifth. They seem to add spiritual beauty and an unusual power.

“In the thoughts of purity, dedication, love and service, are summed up the nature and the destiny of man, and it should be remembered that they do not stand for so-called spiritual qualities, but for potent occult forces, dynamic in their incentive and creative in their result.”

CLICK HERE if you would like to see more of this short excerpt from Treatise On White Magic

Side note, as we go through these Days ourselves, delving deep into the process, we are amazed by what is already present in the “Field” and also impacting our Consciousness. It seems the Angelic lives attracted to this group work, and a powerful hidden presence of Eyes looking upon us “from on High”, are “With Us”. As Consciousness changes, we change and it is reflected in some of the edited writing. Day 5, Venus, was edited substantially.

It is a Joy walking this Path together with You!

P.S. The weekly Zoom gathering on Thursday of this coming week will need to shift to either an hour earlier or to the next day, Friday. Any preferences? Please write: EsotericAdvent1@gmail. com

Our meeting this past week Thursday was small, intimate, and marvelous.

Dec 3 - Our First One Hour Weekly Zoom Meeting on Thursdays. Please find the link in the next tab titled Thursday Zoom Links! Welcome.

Dec 2 - Another meaningful post on Soul Conversations! Do read it and join in.

Dec 1 — Greetings and blessings Dear Souls Upon the Lighted Way — there is a deeply meaningful Post this morning on the Soul Conversations tab. It weaves Sagittarius - the Rider on the White Horse with our journey upon the First Mountain and our work with Forgiveness in clearing the field with the Madonna Laboris.

Blessings to you and the Soul Star Group this day and everyday.

Nov 30 - The Participating Souls list of names and locations is now up !

We send you love, blessings and gratitude on this First Sunday and week of Esoteric Advent-Christmas to one and ALL in the Soul Star Group (SSG) for this blessed beginning!

Please NOTE: AOL is having very long delays in receiving some emails from Gmail and perhaps from other sources too.

Very Dear “Participating Souls” of Esoteric Advent – Christmas ~

Welcome one and all to our magical pilgrimage. We are the ones who have gathered as “Participating Souls” in the Soul Star Group to move upon the Way together through Four Mountain Ascents (Weeks) of Esoteric Advent–Christmas and 12 Days of Christmas.

During this very interior time, we are given the privilege to approach the inner worlds for an extended period of time in the holy companionship of each other and as a Soul group in ‘Group Approach to Divinity’ intent to walk the Lighted Way in Four Mountain Assents of Consciousness together. In so doing, we serve to provide a group conduit – a channel for higher energies to flow through us – connecting “heaven and earth” through the vessels of our “bodies” and Soul Group ~ blessing that which is in front of us, the environments in which we live, those with whom we are in relationship in the realm of daily living, and those to whom we choose to direct and project lighted Thought upon the Beam of Light and Love for healing and support.

During this magical sojourn, we the Soul Star Group, further serve by building an etheric Chalice on the inner planes where many more unseen participating Souls and Angelic lives can join to be with us – and we with them. There are no words to describe this magical process or its effects in full – it can only be lived and experienced to be known. What we can say for sure is that we can expect to be “lived through” from on High. If you are new to this process, expect to step into a magical realm and process of joyous unfoldment and soulful participation. If you have participated before, expect the unexpected and a deepening of the power to elevate and to be lived through for Hierarchical purposes. The only pre-requisite we have is to commit wholeheartedly to the process, and be open to the “miracles” that the Holy Spirit wills to work through us.

STEPS TO OUR PROCESS

While there are many layers of depth and complexity built into this ritual, the process we follow is simple:

1) Every Sunday of Advent begins with a Lighting Ritual Meditation and Invocation, and Naming and Loving of all Participants. For most it will be best to do this ritual in the morning, but whatever time you choose, try to do it at the same time. Read through it first in full, and take your time in doing it – we are working with real energies.

2) Every Monday begins a new week of ritual attunements, moving us progressively deeper (or higher, the meaning is the same) upon a Mountain Ascent. Revisit the practice throughout the Day to maintain a continuity of remembrance; some may want to follow the ancient Egyptian rhythmic movement of the Sun – daybreak, high noon, sunset and before sleep (representing the midnight hour).

3) Every Thursday at Noon (Pacific time, 3 PM Eastern) – 8 PM GMT, for an in-person zoom call for approximately one hour for all who are interested in coming together to touch in, share, ask questions or make comments, and to deepen our group process. A link will be provided in the Tab titled “Thursday Zoom Links” … Welcome one and all.

4) Please check “Communicating With You” daily (or every other day) for regular “spirit news”. We would also like to encourage you to share impressions on the Soul Conversations tab (which will be updated soon for our process).

5) TO BEGIN, go to the website and click on CHRISTMAS ADVENT 2020. Then click on one of Four Tabs successively. https://www.esotericadvent.org/

a) Communicating With You – the first tab on top for communications

b) First Sunday Ritual of Advent (Second Sunday, and so on)

c) First Mountain Ascent (Second Mountain, and so on)

d) Participating Souls – List of our Names and Locations.

WHAT YOU NEED TO BEGIN and PROCEED

1. For each Sunday of Advent – plus one, have ready a NEW candle (electric light, or a symbol for Light) to symbolically build a 5-pointed Star. And any ritual accoutrements you would enjoy to create sacred space (flowers, incense, music, symbols, etc.).

2. A White Scarf for Week One – to emulate or symbolize your work with the Madonna Laboris – an aspect of the Virgin Mother, Mother of the World, Venus. She is a Heart Being of Divine origin Who carries “the Saving Force”. She is real and powerfully present throughout the entire process of Christmas and each Mountain ascent. We begin with the Madonna Laboris to lay the foundation for this sacred ritual process. She is already “With Us” and has been for 10 days. Welcome Her. Make no mistake that She is the grand Conductor. Queen of Angels. To say more would only limit Her in our perception.

NOTE: if you do not have a white scarf, use the power of your imagination to create one, to be worn around your neck during the weekly rituals.

WE BEGIN in the common ground of the universal Cosmic Christ principle – in the field of Divine Love pouring through every atom of Creation, making all things new.

H & S

NOTE: This letter overviewing our process will eventually be saved on a separate page titled LET US BEGIN - for newcomers.
