Meditation at fullmoon

Introduction

According to the esoteric teaching the religious practice - of the many holistically and spiritually orientated people in all religious relations - will take place about the twelve yearly full moons. The full moon is also very important for the festivals of the traditional religions.

Connected with the first full moon after spring equinox the Christians have placed their greatest festival, the Easter, at the full moon in the sign of Aries (the Ram). The Buddhists greatest festival is the Wesak festival where the birth, the enlightenment and the death of Buddha are celebrated. The Wesak festival coincides with the full moon in the sign of Taurus (the Bull) in the month of April or May.

When great parts of humanity in common at the same time invokes the deity 12-13 times a year a powerfully co-operation between the deity and the humanity will be created. This co-operation will integrate the humanity in the heart of the divine essence and produce a glorious civilization of good human relations.

Meditation at full moon

Nevertheless the Moon isn’t essential for the meditative practice at full moon, but the Sun is. In all cultures the Sun has been object to deep philosophical speculations and religious adoration because it was understood as the preserver of life and the source of light and as the visible expression of the deity. The esoteric tradition confirms that the golden disc of the sun is a living manifestation of the deity in our local part of the cosmos (called Solar Logos ), and a symbol of the universal intelligence that created the world. Spiritual energies flow from the cosmos into our solar system through the Sun and give life to everything – from the smallest atom over human beings to the biggest planetary beings. The flow is most powerful at certain times and during these spaces of time people always has used meditative methods that allow them to benefit fully from these favourable energies.

The solar inflow culminates at certain times of the year, the twelve annual full moon periods are quite central, but the eight solar festivals of the year (solstice, equinox and the quarterly days) are important too. Everywhere on the Earth people are gathered at the hour of full moon consciously wanting to supply the humanity with the currents of solar energies. By meditation they create a telepathic channel from humanity to the spiritual levels and thereby they participate in a direct co-operation between the divinity and the humanity. At this way we - as a group - can anchor the energies of light and love in the collective consciousness, locally as well as globally, when we join in a meditative community.
