Wesak Meditation 20th May

BACKGROUND

The Wesack is the time of the full moon in the sign of Taurus which usually falls in April, but can also fall in May. However, in 2008, we have been blessed to experience a 'blue moon', which is a double moon in the sense that we have had two full moons in the sign of Taurus, one on April 20th and the second on 20th May. So many people have celebrated two Wesack's this year! Yet I consider the 20th May to be the proper, or at least, final, celebration of the Wesack, which is also Lord Buddha's birthday.

Buddhists all over the world commemorate three great events: The Birth, Enlightenment and the Passing Away of Gautama Buddha.This is the festival of The Buddha, divine intermediary between the highest spiritual center, Shamballa, and the Spiritual Hierarchy. Wesak - the Sun in Taurus - Scorpio Full Moon - is the most powerful Full Moon of the year. The Sun's transit through Taurus exalts the Moon and Taurus is ruled by Venus, the spiritual ruler of Earth. Venus is identified with Mary, the World Mother. May, the month of Taurus, is the month of Mary. Venus appears in the west as the feathered serpent god Quetzxalcotal who brought enlightenment to the Mayans; in the east she is Maya, mother of the Buddha.

The Buddha is said to visit the mythical lands of the Wesak Valley. The Christ assembles Ascended Masters and initiates, whilst Lord Buddha appears overhead to give his blessings. The celestial dispensations expressed through Lord Buddha can be received over the three days following the full Moon.

Before I move on to the meditation, I wish to share my own personal story leading up to this year's Wesack. First, I must admit that I have not always followed such events in the 'spiritual calendar', despite always having been very spiritual. But this year I guess I received a calling or invitation from ther Buddha himself! To quote my diary from 19th April:

Sara shared info with me about sunday, astrological mainly, but also mentioned that Wesak is to do with the Buddha and the ascended masters. Buddha seemed to figure prominently! On the way back from pub, looked down at the pavement and swore I read 'laughing buddha'. Picked up green top of a box, and it was the box for a laughing buddha garden ornament! The main colour was green (heart?) Coincidentally, I was telling Sara last night randomly about the card i got on tuesday and my random outburts of laughter. The card said 'laughing like the buddha' and indeed I had thought many times since about whether the buddha actually laughed so much. When I told this to Paul Alexander on the phone, I looked down at the picture of Jesus on the book my mum lent me Friday (she wanted me to read it) called 'Love Without Conditions'. I then realised the Christ/Buddha energy was coming through very strongly. At the beginning. pg 9, Paul Ferrini, says the Buddha is an e.g. of the Christ energy or Being, it's different names/personages for the same thing...

THE WESAK MEDITATION

Light some incense and a candle. Take a deep breath in through the nose and release, out through the mouth. Become aware of your feet and the earth. Bring energy up from the earth and into every cell and aspect of your being from your toes to your head. Then become aware of the heavens and breath down energy from the top of your head to the tips of your toes. Then affirm, 'I am connected to Mother Earth below, and Father Sky above.'

Now call upon Archangel Metatron and Melchizedek. See and feel them placing you in a protective bubble of silver-gold light. Now see yourself, with their help, being floated towards the Northeast into the Wesak Valley. Before arriving there, you stop in a circular clearing in the woods. You give thanks for all you have received and all that you have achieved in the days, weeks, months, and preceeding spiritual year. Now Archangel Metatron and Melchizedek float you off again towards the Wesak Valley.

You arrive at the Wesak Valley to see a pentagram of Ascended Masters led by the Christ. They glow with Platinum light. You feel excitement and joy and an increase in vibration. You move into a circle surrounding the pentagram with others like you, and join hands. You open your heart to receive the blessings of this time. Silence falls upon the land. To the northeast a speck appears which increases in size to become the appearance of the Buddha. He is wearing a safron robe, glowing gold, is seated in the lotus position, and has his arms open in blessing.

He hovers over the centre of the pentagram now, in the middle of which is a crystal chalice, full of the purest water from the eternal sea. You notice the the Buddha has the appearance of an eight pointed 'mandala' behind him, which represents the Ascension portal. As you watch the crystal chalice, you see the Full Moon rise from the centre.

Then you hear the sound of a gong, and other frequencies and manifestations of light and form, as a vibration emanates from the Buddha's heart and passes into the water. As it does so it creates ripples outwards which increase in frequency and intensity. As they do, water falls from the crystal chalice, and forms eight perfect puddles --spheres -- of water around the crystal chalice. Then a beam of gold-white light comes through the Buddha's heart. You are aware now that the 8-point mandala intersects at the Buddh'as heart, and it is from here that the beam of light emanates. It beams down into the water, and from there down into Mother Earth's core.

You feel a vibration as Mother Earth responds, and vibrations of light and sound emanate from Mother Earth's core and pass through all upon the earth including yourself, blessing you with the light and love of the Wesak. These vibrations quicken your ascension and lighten your heart and soul. Then the beam fades, there is another gong, and the Buddha moves off into the distance again from where he came.

You now spend some time just absorbing the new energies and activations into the core of your being. Then you make a prayer or request from the bottom of your heart, asking the Buddha and Ascended Masters to assist you to see your heart's desire fulfilled for the benefit of all. After some time, you return back in your silver-gold bubble of protection, back to your place of meditation and back to your body. Become aware of your feet upon the earth, give thanks, and slowly open your eyes. So as it is decreed in divine right time and order, so it is done. Namaste
