Pisces
SouledOut.org's Radiant Life Meditation theme continues as we enter the 2008 Pisces full moon cycle. This further develops 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. Last year, in 2007, we utilized our deeper awareness of the zodiacal energies of the Lighted Way to further empower the great global grid to light our world. Our theme "Living the Radiant Life" incorporated the Cosmic Paths of Higher Evolution into the annual cycle, examining those paths which relate to a particular zodiacal constellation. During 2008, we are developing the Radiant Life theme further by examining the Divine Truths of Deity, one each lunar cycle. These are the basic truths commonly held by all the world's revealed religions, and we may through our examination bring them more fully into widespread recognition. The Divine Truth we are focusing on during the moon cycle surrounding the Pisces full moon is the Fact of Immortality and Eternal Persistence. Throughout this month, may we deepen our pursuit of this Divine Truth, as it is further demonstrated and inevitably will be proved. As this meditation focus integrates 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. As we move now through the sign Pisces and align in group formation, our identification is with the Divine. These united efforts bring us ever closer to our Divine Destiny. A water sign, Pisces deals with the unconscious aspects of our nature that need to be brought to light.
We Live the Radiant Life!
Readings We offer these related materials to be of assistance in your Pisces 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. The Fact of Immortality & Eternal Persistence This refers to life that persists when divorced from the form. "The spirit in man is undying; it forever endures, progressing from point to point and stage to stage upon the Path of Evolution ...." (4) Pisces Zodiacal Deity Three keynotes of the duality of Pisces include bondage or captivity, renunciation or detachment, and sacrifice and death. Pisces can also be seen as governing the generative process. The Time of Lent This is the time of Lent and other rituals of purification and sacrifice. These rituals honor our ever-evolving journey, our ability see the Lighted Way, and our connection to each other and to Divinity. Purification Meditation Pisces is the 12th sign of our zodiac, it marks the completion of the spiritual year. This is the time of cleansing and purifying our vehicles in preparation for the new spiritual cycle and the Three Major Spiritual Planetary Festivals. Pisces is a time to reflect on all our life's relationships ~ a time to choose those in alignment with the Soul's Expression in Present Time, and release those not serving the Present Time Soul's Expression. The Transition of Ages ~ Pisces to Aquarius In the Aquarian Age the new message is the "rising of the light," moving from the birth of the Christ, truly the Christ within, to the Risen Christ. In the Aquarian Age we become the Risen Christ, the World Server, the "Water Carrier" pouring forth the water of life for a thirsty world ~ thirsty for the Truth, for the Life more Abundant. Pisces 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.
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 Pisces. The Full Moon Cycle We Are Observing ... Following the new moon on Wednesday, February 6 through Friday, March 7, 2008, the end of Pisces's lunar cycle.

The Seven Cosmic Paths "This subject is considered ... to be devoid of form and therefore incognisable to the lower concrete mind." (5) Hence it is through the practice of Living the Radiant Life that we may begin to understand the nature of Spirit, for to bring Spirit fully into our daily lives is service to the One. Mutable Cross Pisces is a point on the Cross of Rebirth, the Cross of the Holy Spirit.
