The Festival of Wesak is celebrated on the full moon of Taurus (full moon when the sun is in Taurus). At the hour of the full moon, the light volume of the sun is at its optimum and it is this energy of the sun that we seek to amplify and disseminate. As Djwhal Khul said:
The moon itself has no influence on the work; but the fully-lighted orb of the moon indicates a free and unimpeded alignment between our planet and the sun, the solar centre, the energy source for all life on Earth. At such times we can make a definite approach to God, the Creator, the centre of life and intelligence…..
Wesak is January 1st: Beginning of a New Spiritual Year – Time to Renew Yourself
Spiritually speaking, Wesak is January 1st for all those of us who are beginning to awaken to the greater reality of the Divine life. Wesak is the beginning of a new Spiritual year. And to launch this new year, a new impulse is given – followed by the formulation of an evolutionary plan for the Spiritual year ahead, to actualize the impulse.
In other words: Wesak is the perfect time of the year to give our life a new direction, to ponder on our evolutionary goal and decide to live a purposeful life. Wesak is the perfect moment to start over again, to start something new or to renew something already existing. And the reason why it is the perfect time to start over is because the Spiritual leadership guiding humanity gathers to set a new, higher evolutionary goal for the year – and they are forwarding the impulse to advance to humanity. That‘s why at Wesak we have an added stimulus to refresh our aspirations and efforts. At Wesak fresh energies are released to the planet, and these fresh energies inspire a fresh effort in us IF we are open to receiving it.
Christ said, „Be ye renewed by the renewal of your mind.“ We have to constantly renew our mind, renew our emotional nature, renew our body, renew our relationships, renew our service, renew every aspect of our lives. The one thing we cannot do in life is stand still. We have to keep renewing ourselves. The moment we stop renewing ourselves, we start going backwards. We begin to involve instead of evolve. Renewal means evolution.
Let‘s renew our vision and come up with the greatest vision for an enlightened humanity that we can possibly conceive. Let‘s renew our mind and think new thoughts. Let‘s renew our motivation. Let‘s renew our emotional nature and feel the higher vibrations of love and joy and beauty. Let‘s renew our language and raise it to the next level. Let‘s renew our diet and raise the vibration of our physical/etheric vehicle. Let‘s renew our physical life and do new things, take new actions – in service of love and light and wisdom. If we never renew our life and consciousness, we just keep going in circles. If we never renew our life, we involve instead of evolve. Involution is densification. Evolution is spiritualization. We have an evolutionary goal, not an involutionary goal. Our current evolutionary goal is to grow into a Soul-conscious species.
