With spring comes the beginning of Aries. Earth resurrected by the forces of our Creator. The ancients believed that when God created the elements, the sun was in Aries. Universal focus for this time: "Behold, I am doing everything new." (Rev.21: 5)
Each of us is the "center of the cosmos." "As above, so below." According to Jin Shin Jyutsu, there is a pattern of vital force in the body, which is called the "Divine Presence (Creator) in the honorable center of the Cosmos." As nature models evolve, we also participate in the “creative spring” emanating from our spirit within.
Aries - the fiery force that burns the dirt of old nature - Winter. As the seed breaks out of the earth, so does the human expression of the divine soul come to the surface for evolution. Each spring brings the promise of a new life and a new hope. In the life of Jesus Christ, this is symbolized by burial in a tomb, in preparation for the resurrection of Easter.
“Christ” is a position or position to which we ALL strive. When Jesus rolled out the stone, he set the pattern for all men and women. The Rite of Spring means the symbolic death of the lower personality to the birth of the higher Self.
The Easter season celebrates the “mating” of the female and male aspects of the Goddess of God. When the divine femininity is finally brought to Her equal place with the divine masculine, we will see the beginning of the Golden or Diamond Age.
Archangel Rafael presides at this time of year. Raphael is known as the angel of healing, the angel of immortality and the angel of the Holy Grail. He is known as the "god" of Mercury or Hermes. His staff is called Caduceus, a modern medical symbol. Caduceus depicts two snakes, rising, intertwining and characteristic of the rising of the Kundalini. Kundalini is the life force of the body. He rolled on his back at the base of the spine. When awakened, the energy of life force rises through the chakras and brings enlightenment to the soul.
There is a legend that every evening Raphael collects prayers for healing from the earth and carries them to the throne of God. Prayers are transformed into fragrant flowers and transferred from heaven by angels who bring comfort to those in need.
The Saturday night before Easter becomes a special night for baptism. The word baptism means to bring in the eyes. May this season be a time of clarity of vision, which dissolves the veil between the two worlds. May Heaven be created in us and in our home, Mother Earth. May each of us be resurrected in consciousness to become the Christ people and women that we are destined to be.
Remember these words, because they are for each of us ... "HE IS RETURN."
