On May 12th Humanity celebrates the great spiritual festival of Wesak considered by the Ancient Wisdom tradition as the Spiritual New Year. This is the time each year when the Moon in Scorpio opposes the Sun in Taurus. This is the most momentous Full Moon each year in the Eastern tradition.

Following the celebration in the Western metaphysical tradition of the Risen Christ at the Aries/Libra Full Moon each year observed by the major Abrahamic religions as Easter and Passover, the Taurus/Scorpio Full Moon begins the 12-month spiritual new year as the Buddha descends close to the earth in the high mountains of Tibet to dispense the Spiritual energies available for humanity this year.

The life of the Buddha illustrated the path to Enlightenment through his commitment to leaving all the wealth, power and family he enjoyed seeking truth, wisdom, peace and enlightenment; a life of full surrender of all personality desires in order to achieve the highest calling of his Soul, to achieve enlightenment.

What personality fears, habits, struggles, expectations, attachments are preventing each of us from peace, freedom, joy and our full commitment to our soul path? It is time to breathe in the support and guidance offered each of us at this special moment of personal awakening.

The legend of Wesak awakens all of us to the ceremony in the high mountains of Tibet where all holy representatives of all Spiritual teachings and religions gather to prepare an energetic field for the Buddha’s approach to the high valley.

As the Buddha descends, he brings blessings, expanded awareness, and the infusion of all that is now possible for each member of humanity whether one is or is not aware of the ceremony. The heart opening, the Christed self, is now in a state of consciousness that Jesus exemplified – suffering redeemed through forgiveness and ascension is now readied for the Spiritual infusion and blessings gifted to us by the Buddha each year.

It is helpful and powerful to be aware of this time of Spiritual blessing and potential by utilizing the 3 days preceding and the 3 days following May 12th for meditation, prayer, personal ceremonies, time in Nature, deep quiet and listening as one sets a soulful intention for the coming 12 months. This is a special week to rest, listen to your dreams, be especially aware of any symbols, synchronicities, or offerings that may occur now which are your soul speaking to you emphasizing your path for this year of Soul development.
