Saint John's Tide June 24th 2011

The picture to the right is the Archangel 'Uriel.' At the time of the Summer Solstice this archangel oversees humankind as Cosmic Intelligence and Understanding. 

As the summer warmth forces gather upward, streams of elemental beings which busily weave in nature in the warmth of cosmic forces gathers, creates and weaves within the shimmering golden light of Uriel. At this St. John's time there appears his countenance of cosmic intelligence radiated by the streaming of elemental forces gathering upward where his raiment of Gold is created. 

Below within the earth can be felt and must be Imagined the blue crystal formation and therein weaves shining silvery lines of Cosmic Will. Within these lines are reflected both human errors and human morality and virtues. Above is the radiating light of Cosmic Intelligence and below is the blue crystalline earth the mantel blue of the Mater or the Earth Mother or Mary if you like.



Following the summer solstice occurs St John's Tide. This summer imagination is about John the Baptist and his exalted place in the singular event of the Sun God-Spirit entering and uniting with mankind and the earth through incarnating in the Initiate known as Jesus.

John the Baptist was the Initiate of the new man and newly evolving earth to come and the time of which we now live and have lived for the past 2,011 years. In the new humankind lies the potential for purification. This could only take place through the entering of the Sun Divine Being known as the Cristi-Logos, the force imbued within the earth and of which in the present time has entered into the mineral, plant and watery kingdoms of earth as well as that of humankind through man's free will. 

Out of the midst of these events comes the Imagination of the Trinity; Cosmic Intelligence, Earthly Mother and St John as the Initiate of the Cristi-Logos entering the Earth Sphere. It is at this time the continually emerging Truth of the Trinity and its meaning that is at the heart of St John's Tide. 

Participants celebrate St John's with music and by jumping over a fire. The deeper meaning of this was an act of Purification and uniting the hearts of human souls with the Cosmos and Sun Beings. 

The transposing of these pictures can occur through the weaving of music into human souls. The Will which lives in our limbs is purified through jumping over the fire so that that which enters below into the earth as human error is acknowledged and purified within mankind and the uniting with Uriel's Understanding enters human hearts and we partake in the great Cosmic Mystery at midsummer. 
 
 

Spring & Summer Consciousness; the Outbreath

As the Summer Solstice begins, the "Outbreath" of the earth is at its height. The outbreathing of the earth soul occurs between the Equinox of Spring through Autumn. In this time the human consciousness soul feels itself carried out into the Cosmos as it mingles with all Nature and Elemental Nature Spirits.

The budding Springtime has given way to full flowering of Summer as the elemental beings of fire, air, water and earth are growing the plant kingdom of earthly life. Their proper names are Pyrausta, Sylphs, Undines and Gnomes respectively. Human observance and warming of the heart soul toward that which we sense are crucial to fostering evolution not only for ourselves but for all living things including the nature spirits.

Try this to enhance connectedness of the self to nature spirits. Walk the forest, move along a stream, observe a starry night or meander a leafy neighborhood and cease to "name" things. Let go of believing you know what things are and as you practice this type of consciousness meditation you will begin to feel the enlivened world around you. If fortunate you will come to know its place within you.

When we label and name living things of the natural and cosmic world we kill it and stop our involvement in it and our own evolution, the great ongoing metamorphosis & evolution of all life and the world. Human beings grow and evolve and so do all living things in the seen and unseen worlds.

Be aware of the Outbreath of the earth, imagine it. In this outbreath the Earth Soul lives beyond the earth itself, in the great Cosmos where our consciousness has followed for we must become Conscious of this, we must remain awake to how we partake in the world's evolution or else be left behind.
