The time of the summer solstice has arrived again to us and as stated in the ritual “In the path of Christian mysteries, the summer solstice symbolizes a time when the aspirant endeavors to follow the cosmic Christ in his annual ascension into the high spiritual realm whither he goes to prepare a place, to the end that where He is there we may be also.”
Being mindful of this in our lives for the next six months when we arrive at the time of the winter solstice, brings us to a greater attunement for the events of the earth that will take place. There is much talk and speculation that this next six month will bring major planetary and human changes to us and an “event” will take place at the time of the winter solstice. We are not privy to the future but as the Master said,
“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon and the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s heart’s failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming in the earth; for the powers of the heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” (St. Luke 21, 25-28).
As in all spiritual practice we must always test our guidance and direction in the Light of Christ, as there will be much attention paid to what may or may not occur.
May we all have a wonderful and joyous summer basking in the Light of the Sun/ Son, awake and aware of his presence with and within us.
Yours in Christ,
Rev. Donald
