A
Spiritual Focus in Preparation
for
the New Group of World Servers
Festival Week
December
21–28, 2005
As the New Group of World Servers is the planetary focus at this time, we encourage all to sustain this focus throughout the cycles of Sagittarius and Capricorn.
Preparing the way, the Light of Sagittarius illumines our path as we climb the mountaintop in Capricorn to receive the blessings that flow into our great grid of light workers every seven years during the New Group of World Servers Festival from December 21–28.
Rather than present two separate meditations, we have been impressed to use the Sagittarius one-pointed focus to prepare for the impressions that will come during the Festival week, when we will move into the sign Capricorn. This meditation is offered for your frequent use as we approach and during the entire period of the New Group of World Servers Festival Week.
We suggest you pause at points in the Meditation where you find an elipsis "..." to allow the energy and information to come in fully, or pause wherever you are naturally inclined, to be at one with the energies invoked.
Guidance in preparing for this meditation
New Group of World Servers December Meditation
We as Lightworkers, throughout our world, in meditation, rise and unite forming the great global grid ...
As we integrate ourselves into the grid, our minds are illumined. From this place of light within and around us, we feel the connection to the Masters of Wisdom, the Lords of Compassion and with our Spiritual Hierarchy ...
At this seven-year cycle, we sense the energy of Capricorn stimulating a new state of Spiritual consciousness within us and in all of Humanity. We open to the vision of the Plan now being impressed. We see a new goal, a new mountain, a new vision, and a new revelation. We open to and welcome this energy, allowing it to enliven and inspire our work ...
We can now clearly see our purpose is to bring this vision to all of Humanity, and in doing this we impact all of human consciousness with the potency of Goodwill. We see this is our work, our mantram, our song, and our message.
We bring this vision of light to all in our world. We bring the "Light of the Life" to our homes, communities, regions and to our nations. We see that this vision will invoke the Soul of a nation, and Goodwill among nations will become the rule ...
The potency of our united effort of Goodwill will create within us the energy to take the next step in our evolutionary spiritual development.
From a place deep within us that is becoming ever more conscious, we understand that this is a most auspicious time. We as the New Group of World Servers stand ready, enlivened by the energies of Capricorn at this seven-year cycle to invoke Goodwill and to open the door to the initiation of the Aquarian era.
We are united in the Life! As the New Group of World Servers, we stand with many other free souls who wish to serve the human race because of our love of humanity and because of our sense of need during this period of world crisis.
It is so. So be it.

Planetary
Solstice Meditation December 21, 2005
Begin the Festival Week in celebrating the Winter Solstice by connecting with
Lightworkers in this global meditation.
The Winter Solstice occurs each year as the Sun enters Capricorn. The Christ energy enters the Earth at this time each year, infusing our world with the ideal of perfection and the desire for a re-merging with the One.
The Tithing Tree Grow
by Giving
Create a simpler, more humanitarian Christmas. Here is how it works:
Presenting
your present when there is no present to present ...
Christmas day can still be a time of feasting and abundance with only
the gift itself being different. It is a joyful and fulfilling experience
to sit together on Christmas day and to take turns speaking about your
chosen beneficiary. This helps everyone to understand the positive
impact created by each tithe.
This Christmas you may decide to
- Give your entire Christmas budget.
- Donate an equal amount of money to organizations as you have spent on gifts.
- Spend less on presents and tithe the remainder.
- Buy one present each as a "Kris Kringle" exchange with your family, and jointly tithe to something you all care about.
- Suggest a present that your family can buy "for you" that you can then pass onto the organisation of your choice. ie dog baskets for an animal shelter.
- Ask your family and friends who choose not to tithe, to give you money instead of a present, so you can tithe it yourself.
- Inspire your company to tithe some of their Christmas party money to a worthy cause.
"This year I invite you to join me in experiencing Christmas differently. I have observed that we already have abundance in our lives, so I am going to be donating my present budget to an organisation that is enriching the lives of those less fortunate than ourselves.
"This Christmas my gift arrives to you in the form of (insert description). As we already experience abundance in our lives, I have chosen this gift because it creates change where it's needed. Together we are creating a simpler, more humanitarian Christmas."

The Light of Sagittarius: A beam of directed, focused Light
In
this the point of light becomes the beam,
revealing a greater light
ahead and illumining the way
to the centre of the light. (1)
Daily Spiritual Focus in Preparation for the NGWS Festival
Readings
In preparation for this meditation focus, we ask you to become familiar with the following:
Heavenly Christmas It's a Heavenly Christmas and all are invited!
2005 Impression - “Time Stands Still” It’s time to move from an economy of scarcity into one of abundance.
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.
The Christ Light In many lands and civilizations this season has been associated with the coming of a Sun-God to save the world ~ bringing light and fruitfulness to the earth, and bringing hope to humanity. (2) This energy is honored and recognized by many spiritual traditions and is not uniquely Christian. Christ, the son of God, indeed did come to us in the dark of the year and initiated a new era, wherein light was to be the distinguishing note: "I am the light, I am the way." This Lighted Way is the illumined path to the Divine and the means to evolve right human relations.
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.
Sagittarius Zodiacal Deity "Sagittarius, we are told, is the spirit of truth; it is the sum of all Truth growing out of individual revelation." (4) In Sagittarius, Soul consciousness in its early stages unfolds through the use of intuition and aspiration. Keynote: I vision. (5)
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." (6)
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. (7)
Betelgeuse The sun Betelgeuse is a source of cosmic energy streaming towards our system. This influence reaches our system by way of the sign Sagittarius. (8)
Sagittarius Night Sky Mars is impressive and Venus reaches greatest brilliancy. Look Up! Call forth your Divine masculine and feminine energies. Jupiter aligns with Spica and Mercury, readying us for the holy days. Mercury begins a new three month cycle, goes direct and is at its best for 2005. This messenger of the gods is demanding truth and transformation.
Mercury’s Thanksgiving Solar Conjunction
The New Moon conjoins Antares, the heart of the Scorpion, while the Sun transits the "thirteenth constellation," Ophiuchus the Serpent Bearer. Pluto and Mercury are significant in the New Moon alignment.
A New Lunar
Cycle Begins
Thursday, December 1, 2005 - 7:01am PST; 15:01 UT
The Sword of Truth Is Wielded ~ Illusions Shatter, "Christed" Ones
Are Born
As the Moon fulls on the tip of the Bull's horn, the opposing Sun conjoins Pluto above the Scorpion's stinger. The Bull's Horn sounds loud and clear!
The Bull’s Horn Sounds ~ Taurus The Bull, Full Moon
Each Day During The New Group of World Servers Festival Week and Meditation Cycle we suggest, following the meditation, seeing we are joined by Lightworkers on high to intone The Great Invocation, and together we say: From
the point of light within the Mind of God From
the point of love within the Heart of God From
the center where the Will of God is known From
the center which we call Humanity Let
Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth. - adapted version (9) |
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.
If at all possible, we suggest being in meditation at the exact time of the full moon. If you are unable to do so, choose a time within 12 hours before or after to align with these energies and be part of this global meditation.
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.
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.
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.

12/1 New Moon Impression In the space between the dreaming and waking worlds, I heard the rain falling outside my window. These words emerged within my mind. "The Holy Waters wash away the dross and reveal the Eucharist, the You Christ." It was then that I saw the Holy Waters pouring forth from the jug of Aquarius. A new cycle begins. |
12/21 Solstice Impression I was surrounded by great multitude of beings. There was silence and then a sound, a voice I heard say, 'There was too much noise, there were too many of us standing in the light waiting to be blessed, waiting for assignment, too many individual fragments of a dream.' The voice rebuked us, but it was not wagging its finger at us, it was not some loud voice shouting about our failures, it sounded so full, so pure like a celestial choir. It was saying not what we wanted to hear and yet it was in perfect harmony. This in fact was Group Work, the very way we are to work. The faith and hope we offered merged with the truth of service and as we joined the celestial choir, the faith now emerged as sight, and hope emerged as as knowing. In this moment I remembered a challenge found in Externalization of the Hierarchy, I later returned to it to get it right ... I challenge all workers and all members of the New Group of World Servers to leave their personal problems behind. This is a time of crisis and such problems must be solved through self forgetfulness. I ask you to work anew with fresh ardor in joyful service, forgetting past weakness and failures in the urgency of that I ask all to do for the world. There has been much lack of joy in the service rendered to the world lately. When I speak thus, I refer not to happiness, which is a personality reaction, but to that joyous confidence in the law and in the Hierarchy which lies behind the Biblical words, "The joy of of the lord is our strength." "Rise up and fight Arjuna," preserving the flame of love intact, permitting no breath of hate to disturb the serenity of love or upset that inner poise which will enable you to sound forth the clarion note of world understanding, that will rally all men and women of goodwill to the aid of the Hierarchy. Faith emerges as sight, hope emerges knowing.... I have heard us sing, let us sound forth the clarion note. This is our time, this is our service, let it begin! |
