Along with the Noonday Recollection here is an additional mantram to recite during Lent (and to be continued afterward). It is an ancient mantram from the Upanishads (inner teachings, ageless scriptures and songs, the heart of Vedanta).
Lead us Oh Lord
From death to immortality
From darkness to Light
From the unreal to the Real

Daylight Savings Time begins Sunday morning, 2 am. Monday, 2:01 pm (Pacific time) is Pisces new moon (25 degrees). Mercury enters Aries Wednesday, St. Patrick’s Day. We’re less than two weeks from Spring equinox. However, I hear in Tennessee the robins have returned so they think it’s already spring.

Every month esoteric groups worldwide observe new and full moon times with prayer and meditation. They invoke (call forth) and receive the concentrated light (Pisces this month) from the Sun and radiate that light into the world (into humanity and earth’s kingdoms). There are themes for the new and Full moon times. The new moon theme is always to “Strengthen the hands (work, activities, intentions, resources) of the New Group of World Servers (NGWS)” – men and women of Goodwill working for equality of opportunity, justice, inclusiveness and right relations for all of humanity. Many work unrecognized. Their intention is to meet the needs of humanity and all living creatures through understanding the inter-relationships (Life Principle, Monad) existing among all kingdoms (mineral, plant, animal, human, Soul, Hierarchy, Shamballa). The NGWS functions worldwide and in every field of endeavor and everyone is invited to join.
During new and full moon times, the energies of Will (Ray 1), Love/Wisdom (Ray 2), and Divine Intelligence (Ray 3) are available for distribution. It is the task of the NGWS, in service (through meditation, prayer, intention, visualization, ritual) during these times, to receive and radiate these energies, translated as Goodwill, to Earth and her kingdoms. Through the constant and rhythmic (at new and full moon each month) radiations of Goodwill all of life thus becomes uplifted (redeemed).
It is Goodwill that produces the needed Right Relations creating what humanity longs for - Peace on Earth. The Ageless Wisdom tells us the Christ (World Teacher) of the Aquarian Age will reappear when a certain percentage of peace has been established on the Earth. Establishing this peace (a process) is the responsibility of humanity. And it is the task of the NGWS to impress upon humanity those ideals that lead to Goodwill, Right Relations and Peace on Earth.
The new and full moon meditations and rituals (ritual, Ray 7, anchors spiritual energies on Earth), observed and participated in by the NGWS, form the foundation for the new world religion in the Aquarian Age.
During Pisces, the last sign of the zodiac, the sign that is to “Save the World”, we discuss these things as we prepare for the initiating and fiery new life in Aries.

Often your compassion and sympathy are so very well hidden many things you don’t possess these virtues. You do, however it takes tremendous effort to bring these forth (which will occur this month). No longer can you draw the curtain on spiritual realities. No longer will we think you don’t have tender feelings. No longer can you believe they interfere with daily life. Feelings and spiritual realities are actually guideposts, talismans, amulets and your protective lucky charms. |

It’s important to begin assessing goals, hopes and wishes for the future. As you do this, others are reaching out to you from groups and organizations asking for your professional sense, understanding and direction. Nurturing and strengthening ties within your group is a task only you can do at this time. The group needs nurturing. Can you step into these shoes? |

There’s a continued assessment concerning your work in the world and how you’re recognized. A new vitality emerges concerning your labors and how you see your potential coming forth. Why not make a list of everything you can do. Then list all that you hope to do and then how you hope to serve others. These lists point out a theme that creates deeper self-identity. How do you want to be remembered? And what do you idealize? |

When I graduated I was asked by my professor to write a paper on altruism. That word has appeared in my life in the most unexpected times and places. I would suggest you research and write a short paper on altruism. It’s responsible for creating new philosophical ideas, attitudes and visions in your life from now on. Your mind is traveling far distances. Perhaps to the Wesak Valley in the Himalayas. |

You will be thinking of new endeavors, challenges, and how to best use resources. Notice intuition and perception are very strong at this time. If you tune in quietly within you’ll know who is thinking of and loving you. Concern about resources continues. However, in the long run this concern will evaporate. Did you expect something that didn’t occur? Is there disappointment? |

Are you being diplomatic, re-defining relationships and sharing more? Someone significant is either in need or you need them. Do you feel there is a lack of support? If so, begin to support others and that which you give is returned. Be truly gracious. Don’t put on an act or act in a way that you think you should. Learn how to be authentically gracious. It has to do with the heart. |

It will be time this week to get down to business, be practical each moment and establish routines that will handle the detail of a great change occurring in your life. Attempt to work with enthusiasm, summon efficiency and organization, ask for assistance (from humans and angels), eliminate everything not needed and make health and well-being your priority. |

You need some just-for-fun endeavors, things playful yet intense. You also need something calling forth your creative gifts. Only when creativity is involved are you truly pleased as you consider of your impact on the world. This allows you to be brave and bold and always rebuilding your self-identity and confidence. You’ll express yourself this week and next and all the weeks thereafter. |

Are you paying attention to what your feelings and intuitions are telling you? Are you assessing what you consider as safety and security? Are you stirring up activity at home, leaving home, seeking home, or needing a home? What are your support systems? Everything that leads to re-organization is or will be occurring. Family is involved, too. How? |

If you’re feeling frustrated concerning creative endeavors, children, loved ones and intimates, this will pass. You could feel the need to be highly creative to offset disappointments. You sometimes dream of things so significant and beautiful they have a hard time manifesting. In and over time they actually will. You might be sacrificing for your children and feel confused. Express your feelings in a neutral tone. Ask everyone to listen without judgment. |

Ease in public and social situations is felt this month. Tend carefully and with detail to daily life tasks. When you’re at ease with yourself a rapport with others develops spontaneously. Walk through neighborhoods, stroll down the middle of town, make phone calls, tend to bills and monetary responsibilities, be alert, gracious and communicative. And realize with gratitude all that you value surrounds and serves you. |

You’re wondering how to look and express yourself differently as well as define and present your authenticity. It’s important for you to be both strong and kind, to seek understanding and harmony with others and for your actions to be understood and not misinterpreted. Often you dream your way through life. You long to learn self- confidence and self-realization. Over time this occurs. Be brave. |
