Cancer
Radiant Life Meditation

We are consciously aspiring to evolve and raise our vibration each and every day. One way to participate, in group formation, is to join us in the spiritual focus presented in our daily Calendar. Beginning after the new moon on Wednesday, July 2, we invite you to join us by aligning with the daily focus offered here:

We Are the Radiant Life, Manifesting
The New Law of Ancient Dominating Good!

You are encouraged to continue with this meditation focus during the moon cycle surrounding the July 18 full moon in Cancer. 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. Another suggestion, since it is updated daily, is to set your Browser Cache to "Compare each time the page is viewed."

Cancer relates to creation on the physical plane. Its ultimate result is the manifestation of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth ~ the Sacred Form.

Creating the Sacred Form occurs as each of us builds our Lighted House and therein dwells. In doing so, we become conscious of the choices we make, where we put our energies and what we are manifesting.

SouledOut.org's Radiant Life Meditation theme continues as we enter the 2008 Cancer full moon cycle. This further integrates our fifth rounding of the zodiacal cycle utilizing the Lighted Way theme as the context for our monthly meditations, from new moon to new moon.

The Inevitable Response of Humanity is the Divine Truth we are focusing on during the moon cycle surrounding the Cancer full moon. Throughout this month, may we deepen our pursuit of this truth, as it is further demonstrated in the world.

As this year's focus evolves and we "Live the Radiant Life," our practice deepens the meditation service we have come to recognize as our biggest, most potent tool in working together to usher in the Age of Aquarius, and so as a group to create Heaven on Earth.

We draw upon our awareness of the zodiacal energies of the Lighted Way to further empower the great global grid to light our world. Aligned in group formation we now move through the sign Cancer, and our identification is with the Divine. A water sign, Cancer deals with emergence from the herd in order to take further responsibility for the Life we all share. Our united efforts bring us ever closer to Humanity's Divine Destiny.

Following the annual major spiritual festivals, every person in the Holy Grail ~ the Sacred Chalice, planet Earth’s Light Grid ~ participates in the distribution of the Life and in turn restores the Divine Plan on Earth. Each one is uniquely responsible for this restoration. The Life enters and flows through all individuals and our world, and makes the whole planet sacred.

As we assimilate the energies released on planet Earth during the 2008 Festivals, we now prepare ourselves as the channel for The Life:

We determine a ritual that takes care of our form, cooperating with the cycle, the ebb and flow of Life. We remember to breathe in, breathe out.

During Cancer we check in, in present time, and choose wisely, paying attention to the quality of energy that we are manifesting; it has a ripple effect in the world. Also, we remember to develop what is fun in the life.

We express our truth with love and respect, and this inspires creative solutions and fosters peace. Each may ask, how sacred is my life? What is my service, how do I serve the One Life?

We strive for consistency in our spiritual and physical plane practice. Approaching this in a rhythmic manner supports the full expression of the purpose of both the individual and group soul, and brings integration.

We Are the Radiant Life
Manifesting
The New Law of Ancient Dominating Good!

We embrace the vast significance of our relationship to Love, all the way from the atom to the infinite!

As we identify with Cosmic Love, we participate in bringing forward 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 ... where the Earth becomes a magnetic center, a station of light, a point of great radiance and vitality, beaming out into the Universe.

 

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.

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.

Readings

We offer these related materials to be of assistance in your Cancer meditation focus ...

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. (3) 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.

Humanity's Inevitable Response "Such ... recognition is the inevitable reward and result of revelation." (4) This refers to our instinctual spiritual reaction to the divine truths of deity.

Law of Ancient Dominating Good This "new" law replaces the ancient law of evil sharing.

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. Each year close to July 4, America's Independence Day, our sun conjuncts Sirius at 14 degrees Cancer. Sirius is closely associated with Leo, and the Cancer cycle is preparatory to the powerful full moon next month in Leo, for which the Sirius energies are of significant influence.

Night Sky ~ Moondances 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 2 with the Sun, Moon and Venus enlivening the Gemini Twins. We are reminded that a sacred covenant exists with our inner divine twin. Lunar theme: Co-creating with the Divine One ~ Harmonizing Dualities

Fourth of July ~ Holiday and Holy Day
Our physical Sun conjoins our spiritual Sun.
Look Up! Liberate yourself and travel the Milky Way!

Dog Days
Sirius disappears in the Sun's embrace.

Mars and Saturn During Cancer
These two planets pair up and the Lion's Heart Roars.
Ponder the relationship of Leo, Regulus, Mars and Saturn.

July 5-7 the Lion is delighted by Luna, while humanity is being impressed to co-create with the will and purpose of Deity. July 8-10 the essential divinity of humanity is being stirred from its slumber, as the heavens come alive during the time of the First Quarter Moon. July 13-17 gibbous Luna visits the Scorpion, Archer and Giant. In the Scorpion's realm death and life work together to harmonize humanity with its essential divinity. The Archer impresses us to aim for the unifying vision, while the Giant expands our hearts and minds.

July 17-18 the Full Moon conjoins the head of the Eagle and humanity soars when the intellect leaps to intuition. Look for the impressive Full Moon triangle. July 20-22 predawn Luna transits a transformational triangle that stimulates an awakening within humanity. July 25 the Last Quarter Moon can bring a crisis in consciousness or open us to divine ideas and emerging opportunites. July 27-31 we are reminded to invoke the illuminating vision of the Divine One through all struggles. We are encouraged to co-create sacred forms by making a covenant with our inner divine twin.

Preparation for Participation in This Meditation Focus

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.

If you are unable to meditate at the exact time of the full moon, choose a time within 12 hours before or after to be part of this group meditation.

Prior to your meditation take the needed time to create a sacred space and spiritually align your energies.

We Recognize, 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.

If you wish, feel free to continue use of this meditation for the entire month of Cancer.

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.

The Full Moon Cycle We Are Observing ...

Cancer Zodiacal Deity Cancer is the doorway into incarnation for human souls to gain the experience needed for our evolution. It is the focused energy of Cancer which makes it a major magnetic or attractive focal point leading to the processes of incarnation.

Cancer Labor of Hercules Hercules's labor in Cancer was to capture the doe ~ that which is elusive and difficult to secure. Through this endeavor we learn there is no success until instinct is transmuted into intuition. Then instinct is subordinated to both intellect and intuition.

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.

Divine Truths of Deity These basic truths are commonly held by all the world's revealed religions.

Cardinal Cross Through a study of the Cardinal Cross ~ Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn ~ we can derive a clearer understanding of ordinary, individual, human beings, of group beginnings, and of the significance of the first initiation. The secret of the Cardinal Cross is the secret of Life itself.

Betelgeuse "... the interest awakened in the public mind lately by the giant star Betelgeuse in the constellation of Orion is due to the fact that at this particular time there has been an interplay of force between our tiny system and this giant one, and communication between the two informing Existences."
