The Easter Festival,
The Festival of The Risen One

The first of the three major spiritual planetary festivals, The Festival of The Risen One, traditionally has been celebrated in the western hemisphere at the Aries Full Moon as Easter. This is in present time the Festival of the Risen, Living Christ, and honors the time of resurrection and the birth of divine ideas. The consciousness of the heart, the energy of Love as represented by the Spiritual Hierarchy, is recognized, and the nature of God’s Love is emphasized at this time.

The Forces of Restoration are particularly active during the time of The Easter Festival. These forces emanate from the MIND of God; they are connected with the intelligence principle in the divine nature, stimulating the human intellect. This energy is peculiarly creative in nature and carries the life which produces the birth of forms. It is a mass energy, related to stimulation of the mass intelligence. It causes humanity to think, plan, and take action, producing neither good nor bad results, but simply the awakening of our minds so we will take intelligent action.

The action itself is necessarily dependent upon the type of mind of those who respond to the forces of restoration, and will be conditioned by the point in evolution, the racial and national background, tradition, religious and civilized reactions.

These forces are now active in every land, frequently producing increased initial difficulties but leading eventually to a definite reorganization of the national life. The effects are primarily physical. Their objective is the production of the new Earth and all the outer evidences of an inflowing New Life.
