Lenten Season

[Guest guest]

Lenten Season Lent (word origins â€" Latin for forty days; Dutch

for spring; Old English, lengthening of daylight hours): For the next

forty days and nights, in the Christian liturgical world, we are in the

season of Lent. Lent is not completely understood without an esoteric

context. Esoterically understood and explained, Lent is a time in which

we purify our bodies (physical, emotional, mental) through prayer,

contemplation and fasting. The purpose of these disciplines (Saturn) is

to prepare our bodies for the inflowing fiery, Ray 1, Shamballa

Fire/Light during:

* Spring Equinox

* Aries Festival (Aries Full Moon, April 9th when Passover begins),

* Easter/Resurrection Festival,

* and the following two Solar Festivals of Taurus (Wesak Buddha Festival) and Gemini (Christ Festival).

The Christ Himself participated in this Lenten ritual, living,

fasting, contemplating and praying in the desert for forty days and

nights. Think Ray 4, after conflict (difficulty) a new harmony arises.

In the desert solitude, His physical, emotional and mental bodies were

tested. He triumphed and was made strong. The Christ’s purpose for the

desert experience was to prepare, through tests and trials, His Sun

body to withstand living in form and matter and for the trials

(Initiations) He would endure â€" from Palm Sunday’s jubilation hailing

Him to be the King, the Christ’s first major public appearance; The

Last Supper, Transfiguration, Crucifixion, Death, Resurrection. These

Initiations are also our Initiations. Lent prepares us for every

activity of our divine nature to be rightly adjusted and divinely

expressed. We use conscious effort, self-initiated discipline and unity

of purpose to bring about a change in our world by “doing good, â€

increasing our service of goodwill by radiating it into our homes and

environments, and then to the world transmitting the energy of the Love

of God.
