2012 Sagittarius Meditation Theme
Wielding
the Electric Fire of Life, Infused with Life More Abundant
Our meditation theme for the month relates to Cosmic Communion and the Consummation of Life Everlasting, as pertains to Sagittarius and its one-pointed direction towards Spirit. This month surrounding the full moon in Sagittarius follows the burning ground of Scorpio. Having dispelled illusions, we are now free to pursue Divine direction. The Light of Sagittarius illumines our path as we prepare to climb the mountaintop in Capricorn. We see the goal, we reach that goal and then we see another. (1) In our group endeavor, we align our collective Will in support of the Principle of Directed Purpose ~ which, we are told, increases in influence as the Head center is utilized in meditation. (2) As aspirants and disciples, in present time we consciously realign with the Divine Plan ~ the unfolding Purpose of the One Life. In the spirit of sacrifice, we offer our very highest self to our service in the world. Through our alignment with the Principle of Decision, we then become steadier in our service expression. Electric fire relates to the Will aspect of deity and manifests as Unity of Spirit. As Watchers of the Dawn we are called to Wield this force by aligning with and directing the incoming flow of energies to reveal the Synthesis of Life Itself. All are valuable in this endeavor. This cycle's full moon in Sagittarius cycle includes November 22, Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. May this alignment flavor the month with great gifts of gratitude. Annually we prepare to align with the cycle's planetary hierarchical meditation beginning each year at the December Solstice in preparation for the outpouring of spiritual energies at the upcoming Wesak event. And, every seven years from December 21–28 we observe the New Group of World Servers Festival week. This month as we are in preparation for the next NGWS Festival to take place during the month of Capricorn, we are inspired to honor good ideas being implemented in present time, that promise to have lasting positive impact on humanity and other kingdoms of nature. As we participate in the 2012 Cosmic Convergence move toward the present time December Solstice and New Group of World Servers Festival, please feel free to tune into SouledOut's materials on the 12.21.12 energies and event. 2012
Cosmic Convergence ~ December Solstice Event
[ return to top of page ]
Sagittarius Full Moon Festival In contemplation of the Light of Sagittarius, we are called to rise ever higher to the opportunity of the Solstice, aligning our service in the world.
It is through the battlefield of Scorpio that we are transmuted and now may become single-minded in service to the One Life.
The dual nature of the disciple and the struggle between the human and animal natures is represented in the Centaur, the ancient symbol for Sagittarius. Later the Centaur was replaced by the symbol of the Archer on the white horse, signifying the one-pointed disciple working with the soul. While we observe the seemingly chaotic world events and through detachment, consider them as manifestation of the evolving Plan of God, we may similarly contemplate our personality issues, daily struggles and the times where our aim goes askew and gain a sense of perspective in light of our spiritual goal of achieving the greatest good, on behalf of All-that-Is. In alignment to Purpose, we are given a glimpse of this far distant goal. Fixing our attention, we become poised and aim for it with the arrow of fixed intention. Keeping our focus on the long term goal enables us to deal with those short term difficulties encountered in reaching it. Through our evolving identification with the Divine essence in all, the unity consciousness requisite for the good of the whole ~ All of Life ~ is developed by means of the Yoga of Synthesis.

Full Moon in Sagittarius ~ Gemini
We mentally link up with people of goodwill everywhere, as part of the united group channel through which the spiritual forces can become available. Affirming this channel, "We stand poised united as One Soul with our Spiritual Hierarchy." We hold the focus. We now visualize and become the Chalice we have together created, as a grid of light all over the earth connecting the light of every lightworker and each sacred energy vortex. This network serves as a conduit through which the heavenly blessings may flow through every one of us and to the planet Earth. When we have achieved this, we join in the creative work ...
We
end the thought that divides and separates.
As we emerge from meditation, we are joined in this stream by lightworkers everywhere on the planet and from on high. With focused mind, heart and will, 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 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. Sagittarius Zodiacal Deity "Sagittarius, we are told, is the spirit of truth; it is the sum of all Truth growing out of individual revelation." (7) In Sagittarius, Soul consciousness in its early stages unfolds through the use of intuition and aspiration. Keynote: I vision. (8) Avatars ~ Divine Embodiments This type of greater Avatar expresses the impulse behind Divine Purpose. Sagittarius Labor of Hercules "Sagittarius has sometimes been called 'the sign of the effect of Scorpio'. The moment we have freed ourselves from illusion, that moment we enter into Sagittarius and we see the goal. We have never really seen it before, because between us and the goal there is always to be found that cloud of thought forms that prevents us from seeing it." (9) Night Sky ~ 2012 "Re-Membering ~ As Above, So Below" shares an overview of concepts implicit in the significance of the 2012 December solstice, and how this relates to the spiritual light in the head. New Group of World Servers Members of this group desire to uplift, teach and help others. They are identified by the selflessness of their service to the world and lack of personal ambition, coupled with a willingness to work behind the scenes without recognition. One with The Divine When the Planetary Logos connects with the Solar Logos, Shamballa ~ or the Will of God ~ is their point of union. (10) We are called to connect there with Them, and in this way to embrace the Plan of Love and Light. Yoga of Synthesis As we focus on the Oneness of All, we are able to express the self in light of the larger perspective and thereby assist in bringing through the Divine Plan and Purpose. 5 Forces Affecting Evolution These cosmic and systemic causes are responsible for the present crisis and difficult situation in the world. Night Sky 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 Moon and Full Moon eclipse occur during this lunar cycle, which begins Nov. 13, 2:08 pm PST and ends Dec. 13, 00:42 am PST. Heightened energies can be felt the week preceding and following an eclipse. Two eclipses are bound to "... dredge the past, wrinkle the present and challenge the perceived order of our lives."

Preparation for Participation in This Meditation Focus If 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.
Prior to your meditation take the needed time to create a sacred space and spiritually align your energies. For this meditation and as each is able to join the world group at the time of the full moon (Wednesday, November 28 at 6:46 am PST / 14:46 UT), it is suggested to begin meditating earlier so as to be in deep meditation at the exact time, and then continue for as long as you feel compelled. 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 Sagittarius. The Full Moon Cycle We Are Observing ... From new moon to new moon, Wednesday, November 14 through Thursday, December 13, 2012.

Additional links Sagittarius Synthesis Supplementary links for further understanding Divine Truths of Deity These basic truths are commonly held by all the world's revealed religions. Cosmic Identification It is through the practice of identification with the Divine Life itself that we may begin to comprehend the nature of Spirit. And, to bring Spirit fully into our daily lives is service to the One. The Spiritual Kingdom Manifests We approach the Hierarchy and as this occurs, Humanity evolves into the Spiritual Kingdom. The Fact of the Path to God "All paths lead to the same place," it is said. Indeed, that we are able to access this course is a key to our redemption out of matter in our inevitable return to Spirit. Betelgeuse The sun Betelgeuse is a source of cosmic energy streaming towards our system. This influence reaches our system by way of the constellation Sagittarius. (11) Transformation~Pluto Following Pluto's transit through the constellation Scorpio, Pluto now moves through the constellation Sagittarius and the sign Capricorn. Mutable Cross This is the Cross of temporal and temporary change, of fluidity and of those constantly altering environments driving the soul within the form from one extreme of experience to another, which shuttles the life between the pairs of opposites.
