Wesak
is a very powerful celebration based around the
birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha at the full moon in May.
Traditionally centred around Mount Kailash in the high Wesak Valley
in Tibet a point of power and place of pilgrimage for hundreds if
not thousands of years.
Now
even though the last Buddha, our beautiful great teacher the Buddha
came 2,500 years ago - there have been many Buddhas who have come
and gone in the teachings of consciousness and enlightenment of
consciousness.
And
this tradition, even though it is celebrated by all people who come
from the pathway of Buddhism, is actually a gift that has a very
old tradition that goes back beyond the last Buddhas visit if you
will.
So
it’s a very important event, it’s a great event, but
the thing that really distinguishes it in the last 50 years or hundred
years lets say, is the fact that globally we have moved from a consciousness
that was village, town, city oriented, or in our personal lives
oriented to the initiation of the self - to now the initiation of
a global consciousness on the planet.
And
this is the important thing to remember.
For
a long time not only in the Buddhist kingdoms but in all kingdoms
there has been a recognition that the world is changing in consciousness.
We may call this the new age or the coming of a new enlightenment
globally.
Buddhic
energies coming into the planet and our consciousness, are celebrated,
but we also celebrate the coming of the Christed energies into the
planet.
And
it’s the combination of these pathways that are celebrated
now in synthesis at Wesak, a synthesis of wonderful spiritual energy
entering the planet at this time.
All
through the year, we are participating in many dimensions and in
many ways with this wondrous movement of consciousness into higher
consciousness. More light, more love, more joy, more enlightenment.
More kindness, more compassion, more clarity.
This
is particularly potent at the time of the Scorpio full moon in May,
because at that time the earth is strangely and beautifully aligned
and close in energies to the incoming energy of Buddha, or the Buddhic
realm, the Christed realm, and the Synthesis of all Higher Consciousness.
All
of a sudden, everyone on earth has the ability and has the gateway
opened to actually anchoring, participating and changing consciousness,
not only of themselves but of the planet itself.
Making
it happen, making new consciousness actually appear in our hearts,
in our whole being, in our very lives here. You don’t have
to go to a monastery you can do it right here, in your life.
This
has not really happened in such a global manner, until now.
These
festivals that we celebrate, or these points of energies being evoked
and carried through are points of intersection where we can come
together and co-create the new world in fact. The new world that
is in us, it’s not outside of us it’s in us.
This
new world is about reaching out to each other, and being kind and
compassionate and joyful in our lives.
Being
happy in our lives, being light filled in our consciousness and
being active and free.
Not
being tied to the past in the same way, but carrying the past and
changing the whole body of consciousness not only in ourselves but
in all beings.
So
changing ourselves and going -
I
will not fear, I don’t have to fear, I don’t have
to carry anger. I don’t have to carry any of these things,
and I don’t have to carry bad feeling or bad thoughts
about other people.
I
can use my Higher Consciousness, clear my low feelings that
really are harmful not only to myself but to the planet, and
I can bring a new being that’s interconnected with all
the other graceful and graced people, plants and beings on the
planet and become one with them, and live my life as One.
And
when we do this we are able to be a bridge between our Higher
Consciousness which exists at all times in the higher realms,
and that which is in the lower realms.
So
we are acting as the bridge. The bridge of harmony between all
worlds.
Wesak then is a great opportunity to come together, to be together
in peace and joy and happiness.
To
travel in our spiritual self, in co-creative self, in a group
self, and participate in this amazing beautiful downpouring and
upwelling of divine energy.
There
has never been such a wondrous time as now, that is the opportunity
of Wesak.
SEDNA
& WESAK
In
November 2003 a little planet was found and it was called by astronomers
(these three wise men) Sedna, an Inuit or Eskimo word for Goddess
of the Ocean.
The
important thing about the discovery of a planetary body, astroid
or something of that nature is that when the mind of humanity
- which is a divine sacred mind - finds or ‘discovers’
a planet, it signifies that our consciousness is ready to absorb
the symbolic knowledge or energy anchored by that planet.
Sedna
cames to us in 2003 when the whole of our global community was
in uproar over the ecological, the humanitarian, the political,
the spiritual enlightenment of the planet. We are at a huge crossroads,
it’s very exciting.
Sedna
comes to us (interestingly in 2006) at the very moment our planet,
Sedna and a few other planets in our solar system are aligned
to the Galactic Core of our Galaxy.
This
does not happen very often and signifies that we are ready to
take our consciousness not only of us as a little planet, as a
being on one little planet, we are ready to take our place amongst
the stars.
We
are ready to open ourselves and open the stars to this incoming
Galactic Consciousness so that our sacred earth, our sacred solar
system, our sacred galaxy, begins an enormous change in consciousness
that includes itself.
This
has not happened before. This is a very new and wondrous event.
Sedna takes a very long time to appear to us, the last time in
it’s orbit it appeared to us was at the end of the last
Ice Age, and what a time that was.
For
70 odd years, it appears in our night sky signaling the new turning.
And it comes at a time when, coincidentally, we move from one
part of the galaxy into the next.
Our
orientation moves from the constellation of Pisces, into an orientation
with the constellation of Aquarius. A very strange, curious and
wondrous event.
And
here we are on the planet participating consciously in it. So
when we look at what Aquarius means symbolically to the body of
humanity we know that it’s about brotherhood.
We
know that in the new world these energies that flow through us
are going to flow through us as a group consciousness.
So
all across the planet in the last generation perhaps longer for
some we have sped up in our consciousness.
We
have made lines of enlightenment and love between each other.
There is a new being on the planet and it is called a Divine Synthesis
Being, and it has all of us in it.
All
life is awakening to the new energies that are entering the planet.
We are awakening to the co-creative New Age Being that we are.
And we are anchoring it now.
So
in small ways and in large there is a networking that has occurred
across the planet.
It
is as if the whole body of the planet from devic, plant, animal,
all the way up through humanity, angelic, all kingdoms are awakening
to the divine being of being co-creative powers and conscious
with God on this planet.
We
have the internet, we have all sorts of organisational changes
that are occurring. We have all sorts of amazing changes in the
way that we deal with humanity, deal with our planet, and deal
with negativity.
We
believe that as a brotherhood and sisterhood of the planet we
should live without poverty, without debt, without want, without
need.
We
should enjoy a period of life that is free of negative thoughts,
negative emotions, and we believe that we can create a world without
war, a world based on peace, on giving.
And
we believe that the incoming energies will transform in us, in
our very lives.
So
by using ourselves as the small cup of change, we fill ourselves
with Divine spiritual energy. We fill ourselves with love for
the planet and for the solar system and the galaxy.
We
take our place, however humble and small that place is, we take
our place in amongst all life and we use our refined consciousness,
free of negative thoughts free of negative emotions, and we allow
the transmuting and transformative power of our Higher Consciousness
in God, to exist and be anchored in our very very life.
The
cup of our life runs over with this new transformation, and we
make this transformation and we reach out to each other and all
life on the planet, and all life everywhere, whether it appears
as the life defined or is more.
We
reach out and we embrace and we co-create a happy world.
It
is not about going somewhere far from life, it is about being
in life wherever you are, whichever job you have and making a
change in you.
Bringing
the extraordinary into the ordinary, and understanding that the
life that you lead is beautiful, is wondrous and can be all that
you want it to be.
All
that needs to happen is to allow the Divine spiritual transformation
to occur.
