The great mystics and scientists tell us that light is at the heart of matter. The Emerald Tablet declares the same when we read, “that which is above is as that which is below”. In our human hearts we feel the same truth as a longing to live as freely as we know our essence to be. In this gathering we will join together to quicken this initiatic process and awaken the Spirit in matter.

Over this three day process aspirants will use sacred chant and meditation to activate six centers in their subtle body. These are distinct from the chakra system. When these are linked to the Christ Force in their center they form the Shield of David or the Magen David. This six-pointed living star balances the egoic energies of the aspirant and can act as a vessel for the quickening light of God. The group will then join in a powerful invocational process to charge the Magen David.  Radiant with these creative forces participants will be guided to connect with elemental forces both in Nature and in their own bodies. Once these links are established the initiated participants will charge their own elemental natures with the quickening forces causing a transformation of their corresponding natures and subtle and gross bodies.

Matter must be quickened from its deadened state by an influx of Light to activate its capacity to respond to the actualizing impulses from the Christ Consciousness. It is our part in the great plan to learn how to carry these forces and act as the essential link between Spirit and Matter.

 If you are called to this Great-Work we welcome you to attend.
