Meditation at fullmoon

The Wesak Festival

The full moon of May in the sign of Taurus coincides with the great oriental festival, theWesak, where the East celebrate the birth, the illumination and the death of Buddha . According to an old legend, by esoteric interested people regarded as the truth, Buddha every year appears in a little valley (Wesak) in the Himalayas emerging from the spiritual spheres in order to bless humanity. He shows in order to deliver the divine intentions from Shamballa , the centre where the divine intentions are known. Christ and his disciples are physically present in the valley together with monks and nuns from the surrounding monasteries. At the exact moment of full moon they receive the blessing from the very highest level on behalf of the Hierarchy and humanity. During the Wesak festival the three great spiritual centres of the Earth – humanity, the Hierarchy and Shamballa – are connected by the united efforts of Buddha and Christ. This contact sends a flood of illumination into the collective consciousness.

Buddha’s task as a bearer of divine will and divine intention creates an intensive spiritual atmosphere during the five days of the Wesak festival. Therefore this event is considered to be the spiritual height of the year. The will of God – to us incomprehensible – is reduced to ideas and visions containing the plan for the next year. Meditation groups all over the world are gathered at this moment in order to take part in anchoring these energies of wisdom and illumination and thereby take part in the great plan.

The main purpose of the illumination- energies is to influence all the persons, which form the public opinion and way of thinking, so that the understanding of the people is deepened and the ability of the people to realize the vision of right human relations is improved. Especially the great educational systems and the worldwide network of the media are influenced by the energies of illumination. They can reach the consciousness of the masses and there anchor new human values, which will lead us from the darkness into the light.

In the month of Aries and during the Easter chiefly the mental sphere is stimulated. In the month of Taurus the energies are lead to the emotional sphere stimulating the values based on emotions. This creates the power, which secure that the visions take form on ordinary days. We will not get a better world, if we can’t set going the emotional commitment. The full moon energies of Taurus ensure this.

Buddha obtained illumination in this month and showed us the way out of desire. He briefly told us that all suffering arise from desire. He emphasized that the way out of suffering could happen as a consequence of some new spiritual values, which will direct our many material desires towards higher spiritual aims, so that the material desires finally will wipe out. During this process our materialistic and egoistic desires gradually will be replaced by the desire for spiritual development

Wisdom and illumination are the key qualities of this month, where the energies of illumination are at their height. We are able to perceive the purpose of the soul for the next year, and development of new values that decisively break with selfish motives is a possibility.
