Souledout.org's Meditation Focus theme for 2009 continues for this Leo full moon cycle. On our annual journey, we are exploring Divine Identification ~ The Secret of Creation.
One way to participate in group alignment is to join us in the Divine Identification spiritual focus presented in our Leo~Sirius Festival Calendar ...
Divine Identification Calendar ~ Leo
The Secret of Creation ~ Cosmic Identification
Throughout the Leo cycle, each Calendar day's seed thought is portrayed in the graphic representation and links associated with the Keynote on the daily page. Beginning after the new moon on Tuesday, July 21, we ask all to observe this holy festival cycle by aligning with the daily focus.
You are encouraged to continue with this meditation channel during the moon cycle surrounding the August 5 full moon in Leo~Aquarius. You may want to bookmark the Calendar, or consider making it the startup page in your browser for the entire month, in order to participate on a daily basis. The Calendar works optimally in full browser windows, rather than tabbed windows. Another suggestion, since it is updated daily, is to set your Browser Cache to "Compare each time the page is viewed."

2009 Leo Meditation Theme
SouledOut.org's Divine Identification meditation focus for the 2009 Leo full moon cycle is based on Cosmic Identification, and culminates with The Sirius~Leo Festival. Throughout the month, may we prepare for and experience this powerful event on the planet, as it develops and demonstrates.
As we work toward the establishment of a world religion it is advised, in the works of Alice A. Bailey, that we attune to the energies of Sirius available at the Leo Full Moon. In our endeavor to make contact with Sirian force, we are cooperating in the development of a major spiritual festival at the time of this full moon, that one day will be celebrated by all of humanity. (1)
During this Sirius~Leo Festival, as we attune to the Light of Leo, the Light of the Soul, we are able in group meditation to invoke the Avatar of Synthesis, who is to come as a result of the united invocation of Humanity and the Hierarchy. This cycle offers an opportunity for spiritual approach that is of great importance and significance.
In this endeavor, we are pursuing Humanity's Divine Destiny, "... mysteriously related to the revelation of love upon our little planet, the Earth, through the process of creation ...." (2) We consecrate ourselves to the most high Life within the Self for this service, in celebration of the Sirius~Leo Festival. We now seek and find the light of Sirius, and doing so we prepare Humanity to become one with this light. This is our Path, we are the Light, we are becoming the Way.
We embrace the vast significance of our relationship to Love ~ Individual, Planetary and Cosmic.
We participate in the manifestion of Humanity’s Divine Destiny ...
A Destiny known within our consciousness and prophesized in the Ancient Wisdom ... a Destiny far greater than any of us have previously imagined ... whereby the Earth becomes a magnetic center, a station of light, a point of great radiance and vitality, beaming out into the Universe.
The
Light of Leo
~ The Light of the Soul
A reflected point of light logoic, or divine.
The light diffused in Cancer focuses and reveals eventually a point. (3)
Guidance in preparing for this meditation
If possible, we suggest being in meditation at the exact time of the full moon. For this month's global meditation, we at SouledOut.org will meditate at this time, and as a group at two additional times. All who wish to join in with us are welcome, and if you are unable to do so, choose a time within 12 hours before or after the full moon to participate.
We
suggest you pause at points in the Meditation, wherever you
are naturally inclined,
to allow the energy and information to come in fully, and to be at one with the
energies invoked.

Sirius
~ Leo Festival The
Full Moon in Leo ~ Aquarius
As we rise as One to meet the light, the gateway that is Leo swings open wide and we ascend into this Light. Turning our mind inward, we sense the energy rising in us as we arise further into the Light. We are preparing for the great influx of Spiritual energies that reach our planet during the Sirius~Leo Full Moon Festival. We know our earthly world is in a state of flux. We are instructed to be ever vigilant and sensitive to the signs these Sirian energies invoke within us. Changes to be brought about by the Sirian forces will challenge us and eventually bring about great Spiritual Liberation. We understand ever more completely that we can further subordinate the pulls of daily life, as we can now see before us the larger perspective of the true Spiritual Life. Spiritual Will, Purpose and Intent fill us, as we continue to rise. We see now, off in the distance, a golden glow, like the light of dawn. It is the light of Sirius. As watchers of the dawn, we prepare to receive the Sirian energies. The light force from Sirius increases, and we see within us a perfect point of Divinity, like a blue-white diamond. This great gift from Sirius and the Divine is to be shared. Our Service will now emanate from this place. As the thought of Service penetrates our collective mind, the point within us grows and glows even brighter. We are beginning to shine like stars in the Heavens. The Sirian energy is with us night and day. We are becoming the Light and the Way.
As we emerge from meditation, with focused mind, heart and will, we dynamically intone The Great Invocation, and together we say ...
The Great Invocation From
the point of light within the Mind of God From
the point of love within the Heart of God From
the center where the Will of God is known From
the center which we call Humanity Let
Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. - adapted version (4)
We now continue to hold the high space throughout this most auspicious phase of the full moon, an important time to still the mind and maintain inner peace, always a time of spiritual retreat and contact. |

At the new moon prior to the full moon in Leo~Aquarius, we begin aligning in preparation for the Sirius~Leo Festival two weeks later. In generating the required alignment, we ask you to consider the information synthesis offered here as meditation focus for a month-long period. To aid in this alignment we advocate the use of The Great Invocation throughout the cycle.
Sirius Revealed Sirius, associated with freedom and liberation, is the brightest star in the night sky and at 8.6 light years away from Earth, is the closest major star to our own solar system. Sirius is closely associated with Leo, and at the powerful full moon during this cycle, the Sirius energies are of significant influence.
Cosmic Identification This Divine Truth of Deity affirms the interrelation between the starry heavens, the solar system, and the planetary spheres is real and effectual. (5) It is through the practice of Living the Radiant Life, in this context, that we may understand the nature of Spirit. For, to bring Spirit fully into our daily lives is service to the One.
The Lighted Way The entire zodiac can be approached and understood from the angle of light ~ the inner light, soul light ~ and its unfolding, increasing radiance is the manifestation of our divine nature. (6) Study of the 12 different lights for each of the constellations of the zodiac reveals the symbolic story of the growth of the light body within the Soul of Humanity (the Macrocosm) and within each of us (the Microcosm), and will finally make clear the very purpose of God.
Sirian Initiation As we journey through space together with the Milky Way galaxy, we travel also along with the Sirian system. The significant connection between our relatively unimportant little planet and that vast expression of Divinity ~ the Life manifesting through Sirius ~ is an organized and vital expression beyond anything humanity can vision, and is free to a completely unlimited extent, again beyond any power we can comprehend.
The Spiritual Kingdom Manifests We approach the Hierarchy and as this occurs, Humanity evolves into the Spiritual Kingdom.
Night Sky ~ Moon Dances During each lunar cycle the Moon, waxing and waning, journeys through the zodiac. It partners with and enlivens the sparkling stars and glowing planets along the way. As the Moon grows in the light provided by our Sun, we too grow in the light of our Soul.
A new lunar cycle begins July 21 with a total solar eclipse. This supercharged New Moon is challenging the order of our lives, as we walk through the gateway that leads to the Sirius Full Moon Festival. Lunar theme: Out of Darkness Into the Light
July 23-25 young Luna, the Messenger and the Lord of Karma activate the Lawgiver who regulates the Sirian forces. July 26-27 Luna grows in the Virgin's sacred womb; we recognize the light in all. July 28-August 3 Luna reveals the missing claws and fiery red heart of the Scorpion and helps the Archer take aim. We walk the razor edged path out of darkness into the light.
August 5-8 the Sirius ~ Leo Full Moon is supercharged and Gibbous Luna carries the charge forward, as she conjoins 3 planets. August 13-18 Luna's predawn journey leads us through the realm of monsters into a stream of eternal Light, then near a Red Triad where timeworn conflicts are being dealt with and finally into the territory of the cooperative Twins ruled by the goddess of love. Whew! Luna has aged and hopefully we have been reborn in the light of our Soul.

Preparation for Participation in This Meditation Focus
If at all possible, we suggest being in meditation at the exact time of the full moon. If you are unable to do this, choose a time within 12 hours before or after to align with these energies and be part of this global meditation.
We at SouledOut.org plan meditate at three different times, and all who wish to join in for this meditation are welcome to do so:
1. Tuesday, August 4 at 9:00 pm PDT
(04:00 UT Wednesday, August 5)2. Wednesday, August 5 at 5:55 pm PDT
(0:55 UT Thursday, August 6) - the exact time of the full moon3. Wednesday, August 5 at 9:00 pm PDT
(04:00 UT Thursday, August 5)
Prior to your meditation take the needed time to create a sacred space and spiritually align your energies.
Consider what is the appropriate way to join in this meditation ... you may wish to participate in group formation on the physical plane as well as on the inner planes. Whether or not you choose to be "alone" on the physical plane, know you are uniting with many others who also are attuning to the energies available at this Global Festival, and that this group focus creates a powerful channel for the meditation to be potent and effective.
The Full Moon Festivals Culminate over a Five-Day Period ...
Our meditation focus beginning at the new moon leads into the two "days of preparation" immediately preceding the full moon. These are to be dedicated to spiritual reflection and detachment from everyday concerns, as each prepares to become a vessel for the energies of light and love they will receive and channel. At this time we hold the attitude of dedication and service, and seek to assume that attitude of receptivity to that which our soul will impart which will make us of spiritual use.
The day of the full moon itself is the "day of safeguarding," one of inner peace and silence during which we attempt to contact and consciously hold the energies for the rest of humanity. We will not formulate for ourselves what will happen, nor will we look for results or tangible effects. While one may not observe the exact moment when the moon is full, it's important to find some quiet time to reflect alone or use this opportunity to meditate with others of like mind and focus.
The two succeeding days are called the "days of distribution." We now turn the attention outwards, away from ourselves, and our efforts are to pass on the spiritual energies that have been contacted. We assist these spiritual energies, transformed into goodwill, in flowing to where there is greatest need.
We now continue to hold the high space throughout this most auspicious day of the full moon, an important time to still the mind and maintain inner peace, a time of spiritual retreat and contact. If you wish, feel free to continue use of this meditation for the entire month of Leo.
The Full Moon Cycle We Are Observing ...
From new moon to new moon, Wednesday, July 22 through Thursday, August 20, 2009.

Leo Zodiacal Deity The Leo Full Moon occurs during the month of the Dog Star, or of Sirius, and so Sirius into close relationship with Leo. Awareness of the Leo-Sirius connection helps to build a world religion, and this is a great and unique opportunity ~ to be conscious of these cosmic energies and of the possibilities they offer humanity for spiritual evolution.
Leo Labor of Hercules Hercules's great test in Leo was to slay the Nemean Lion. He did so in the cave, where the lion of the developed personality or individuality kept its lair. Before he could control the personality with the higher mind, Hercules had to close one of the cave's two openings, "As above, so below."

Divine Truths of Deity These basic truths are commonly held by all the world's revealed religions.
The Principle of Freedom The Principle of Freedom and the Principle of Liberation are forged on Planet Earth by energies emanating from the great star Sirius. Because of its connection to Freedom and Liberation, Sirius assists us in invoking freedom on our planet, and bringing more of this wonderous star’s quality to life here.
Freedom and the Initiations In our evolution humanity embraces ever more fully the concept and the quality of freedom, as we become soul-infused and eventually liberated from the restrictions of physical plane existence. This goal of freedom is in reality the main incentive to tread the Path of Return, the Path of Liberation.
The Path to Sirius The connection between the great star Sirius and the constellation Leo manifests by way of the fourth cosmic Path on the Way of Higher Evolution. The majority of humanity will eventually follow this, the fourth cosmic Path of higher evolution. (7)
The Law of Spiritual Approach This law is the basis for full moon work, which is a spiritual approach and a group endeavor. Through Avatars, God, the Emanator, Originator, Creator ~ whatever term we may choose in order to identify that great Source of all that exists ~ periodically makes such a dramatic Approach to humanity.
Avatars The Doctrine of Avatars relates all great faiths to one central source. When our invocation is consistently strong enough, when those conscious Beings who know are clear enough, we will know an avatar has come. There is no exception to this Universal Law. Towards these Great Beings every mind can be directed, and in doing so, will be affected.
Fixed Cross Leo is a point on the Cross of the Soul, closely related to the second initiation, Baptism, at which the first contact with Shamballa energy is experienced.
