The Water Bearer Seek out the New Group of Word Servers and Strengthen their Hands |

Pisces New Moon
It is said that the steady impact of Piscean force is what has brought humanity, the world disciple, to the very door of initiation. And for over two thousand years this influence has been playing upon mankind, bringing about the demand for world adjustment and the development of the international spirit. The result of this has led to the formation of groups in every department of human living laying the foundation for the future synthesis in Aquarius. Indeed, it is said that
"What Pisces... Faith has prepared us for... We shall have knowledge of in Aquarius."
One of the groups that has formed is that has formed is that group we know of as "The New Group of World Servers." The message that comes to this group from the inner side is couched in the symbolic words of
What I tell you in the dark, that speak you in the Light"
We are asked to do two things "seek out this group... and strengthen their hands" and the second thing is to fit ourselves to form part of this group for the group itself is part of the World Saviour.
At the time of the Horizontal life in the Pisces cycle of our zodiacal year, join us in meditation and (online at least) discussion to strengthen the hands of the new group of world servers and also to see how Pisces relates to this group.
Join us in meditation to Strengthen the Hands of the New Goup of World Servers. The Pisces new moon is on March 15th at 10:04pm GMT. Details of other festivals can be found on the Auckland Goodwill website. The festival times are updated automatically, so you'll always see the next 12 months no matter when you visit.
Service in Pisces
Each new moon we take the sign of the zodiac in which the lunation occurs and look at some of the service opportunities available in that sign. If Aquarius is the sign of the world server then Pisces is the sign of the world saviour. Pisces did not just influence Christ's religion of the fish, but also that of the Buddha. In this light the Labour of Hercules is revealing. Hercules task is to capture the red cattle, man bound by desire, of Geryon, but they were guarded by a cowherd - symbolising the mind - and a two headed dog - matter and the psychic nature. Hercules kills the dog but lets the cowherd live. Hercules then herds the cattle back returning every one that strayed along the way back to the herd. Pisces is the Bodhisattva who has vowed to return until all sentient beings have become enlightened.
The symbolism of Pisces is that of two fish being tied to each other; or of bondage and imprisonment. In its esoteric form this represents the soul bound to the personality; the imprisonment of the soul within the form. But this expression of an idea veils the idea of the sacrifice of the soul to redeem matter. As Christ said
"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me."
John 12:32
Sacrifice the English word comes from two Latin words: facere meaning "to make" and sacer meaning "holy". Here we find the true purpose of the fallen angel, the one who has descended into matter to lift matter up and bring it closer to god. Or in modern scientific parlance to increase the frequency (vibratory rate) of matter. Pisces is also about grace and compassion.
Within our own sphere, we use the act of meditation to increase our own vibratory rate. But also we use meditation to increase the vibratory rate of humanity as well. The triangles service meditation is such an act. Thus meditation is one of the principle service activities of the esoteric worker, and according to Patanjali the one path that is free of latent karma.
These are just a few of the service activities available in the sign of the fish. But the greatest service that Pisces talks of is the greatest service of all.
If I speak in the tongues of men and angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.
And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.
And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.1 Corinthians 13
Bits and Pieces
We're really excited to introduce our new site. It's intended to be easier for everyone. Your login details will be the same. But now if you've forgotten you can reset them.
You can still look up the Festival calendar. Now we've got an upcoming events on the right hand side, so you can know when and where the next meditation is. And you'll notice a graphical representation of the lunation cycle. And of course there are articles for talks and the meditations, which we're in the process of populating. The forums have yet to be populated with the old material, but feel free to come and have your say.
And if you're interested in contributing to the newsletter or anything else for that matter, do let us know.
La Grande Invocation
Du point de Lumière dans la pensée de Dieu Du point d'Amour dans le coeur de Dieu Du centre où la Volonté de Dieu est connue , Du centre que nous appelons la race des hommes, Que Lumière, Amour et Puissance restaurent le Plan sur la terre.
Que la lumière afflue dans la pensée des hommes.
Que la lumière descende sur la terre.
Que l'amour afflue dans le coeur des hommes.
Puisse le Christ revenir sur terre.
Que le dessein guide le faible vouloir des hommes,
Le dessein que les Maîtres connaissent et servent.
Que le plan d'Amour et de Lumière s'épanouisse.
Et puisse-t-il sceller la porte de la demeure du mal.
