The Easter – the Festival of Life

The full moon in the sign of Aries is close to the great Christian Easter festival, and the entry of the Sun into the sign of Aries coincides with the vernal equinox, where the light lasts longer than the dark. In this way the Easter is a light festival, where we celebrate the new life that pours into the collective consciousness giving new life to the nature and to the human consciousness as well. In nature we are able to observe this energy of life, but the same vitalizing and releasing quality could be experienced in the inner level, where old outlived thought forms and ideas can be transformed.

The Easter is the festival for the living and risen Christ, which is the leader of the spiritual Hierarchy, and the same figure, which is connected with the Messiah of the Jews, the Maitreya of the Buddhists, the Krishna of the Hindus and the Imam Mahdi of the Moslems.

For many years the Christians have accentuated the crucified suffering Christ, which has shrouded the Easter in sorrow and despair. Nowadays we should emphasize the resurrection of Christ, the victory of love over the dark. The Easter is a festival of joy, where we can look forward to the resurrection of life in every human heart. The only life, which are beating in all hearts, search in this month - and in particular during the Easter - release and resurrection to a more abundant life. Love, which causes resurrection, is the name of the quality that brings hope to everybody in this time.

During the Easter it is possible to call upon a great spiritual being called the Spirit of Resurrection, which works through Christ. This gigantic solar being gives rise to a number of qualities, which fortify the will of life and the will to do the good things. These qualities could, if humanity in an active way call upon them and bring them about, create a mental renewal that releases from collective anxiety and fear. Especially fear of death could be released through this life-giving flow, which offers a possibility to recognize the spiritual world with which humanity is connected being a part of it.

These regenerating powers, which are effected by the Spirit of Resurrection, will especially stimulate humanity’s ability to think in new ways. They are able to stimulate the principle of intelligence in all people all over the world and cause new visions. This will give people a renewed ability to think, plan and act on their spiritual inclinations.

The sign of Aries is called the birthplace of ideas, because it is in this sign that the first germ (idea) of a new vision comes out. In the individual level the life energy of the month could set the inner
warrior free in such a way that the courage and the ability to fight for what we believe in are strengthened.

The Easter, and the period in the sign of Aries, is to a high degree a mental preparation to the Wesak festival, where we can receive the informative energies of Buddha . It is the time for new orientation, where new visions are sensed, and the light from the East is ready to break through.
