Nature's Guardian Angel

It has long been a legend that at each Gemini full moon, that the full enlightenment of the pre-Christian era and the wisdom of the Buddha are re-linked to the cycle of the distribution of the energy of love, which is termed the "Christ principle."
This is, therefore, a festival of deep invocation and appeal, of a basic spiritual aspiration toward fellowship, of human and spiritual unity; and it represents the effect in the human consciousness of the work of the Buddha and of the Christ principle. It is known also as the Festival of Humanity or the Festival of Goodwill.
During this transitional period in history, at the beginning of
one age and the end of another, the past and the future have
swung into conflict. The Piscean influence is not yielding
without struggle to the potent Aquarian energies, and the
immediate effect is the destruction of the old forms so the new
can be built. People know fear and separateness. At the same
time, more and more people are seeking spiritual Reality, and a
great expansion of consciousness is taking place. Indeed,
history has always presented, on the one hand, the unspeakable
cruelty of man to man, and on the other, the upholding of a
vision in the hearts of men,
and the constant struggle for
human freedom and dignity.
Proof that the vision is not an idle dream lies in the achievements of individuals and groups working toward making the world a better place. This vision embodies as much of the Divine Plan as humans can grasp, not through the persuasion of scientific or philosophical proofs but through inner spiritual recognition. Because the Kingdom of Heaven is within them, they can conceive of its externalization upon the earth when, as Children of Light in full expression of their indwelling divinity, they can act as transmitters of Light and Love and bring blessing to all in manifested forms. Right relations will be the keynote: right relations based upon reverence for the life within and a deep sense of responsibility. In the vision of the Festival of Unification, all the kingdoms in nature will again begin to function as one creative whole. It is a time to make Heaven and Earth as One.
Many, today see no answer to the world's problems, but there is
an answer: creative meditation and building. Each act of
building adds to the Light. Each action made sacred is a stone
of the Temple. The Kingdom of Heaven must be established upon
the earth by us. The greatest gift of Spirit to humanity is to
have made us co-workers, so that through activity we may
demonstrate our freedom, be self-determining. For us to use
our limitations as an excuse for inaction would be a betrayal
of ourselves, of humanity, and of the Plan.
As it has been said:
"All that is necessary for the triumph
of evil is that good men do nothing."
2. Visualize your flaming heart of Christ Light joining with
other heart flames and pouring out upon the world the blessings
from the "Center- where the Will of Spirit is known."
This is the gift given by the Buddha at the
Festival of Wesak.
Visualize yourself
and your fellow servers pouring forth this blessing.
3. Creatively meditate upon the seed thought given below. See it actually being brought about by the servers of humanity. Think what you can do to help in this work.
I seek to love, not hate;
I seek to serve and not exact due service;
I seek to heal, not hurt.
Let the soul control the outer form,
And life and all events
And bring to light the love
Which underlies the happenings of the time.
Let vision come and insight.
Let the future stand revealed.
Let inner union demonstrate and outer cleavages be gone.
Let love prevail.
Let all people love.
