DIAMOND JUBILEE FOR OUR QUEEN
It is
wonderful to be able to enjoy all the celebrations for the Queen’s Diamond
Jubilee, and it made me think of White Eagle’s words, given at the time of her
coronation in 1953.
‘She who is to be crowned wishes
no more than simply to serve her people. She from her heart asked for the
prayers of all her subjects. We are all praying that she may have the strength
to fulfill her grand destiny. All of you, we know, will give from your heart the
love which is there to sustain and strengthen her. In so doing you are bringing
yourselves—consciously or unconsciously—into the aura of the Christ spirit. For
not only will she be raised up, but every one of you can respond to this
spiritual crowning, for upon all the people will descend a golden
radiance at the time of the Coronation, for this is a great cosmic as well as
an earthly event. God bless the Queen!’
I’m sure
that in a subtle and beautiful way this ‘great cosmic event’ is being
re-activated and re-stimulated now in the special year of 2012. I find it
interesting that there has been so much thought concentrated upon this year,
sadly most of it negative. When our astrologer, Simon, (Principal of White
Eagle’s School of Astrology, see www.whiteagleastrology.org) gave a talk in the New Lands Temple at the beginning of this year entitled
‘2012 and the Global Future’ he spoke instead about the opportunity we have in the White
Eagle Lodge (and all light workers have)to work with the Star to uplift the
thought atmosphere of the world. These kinds of celebrations do just that,
don’t they! (For those who are interested in astrology, you might like to know
that this work with the Star is shown in the Winter Solstice 2012 chart because
the Sun and Moon in the Lodge’s own horoscope is the rising degree of that
chart.)
I’ve
just written about our veneration for the Queen and royal family and how we
include them in our prayers, in our Lodge magazine Stella Polaris. The Queen has led such an extraordinary life of
dedicated service and unstinting effort. It touches my heart to think of how
much she has promoted deeper understanding between all the countries of the
world through example, diplomacy and compassion! I can’t help but think that even
those who are not so keen on the idea of a monarchy must be touched and
inspired by her example. Many people comment on how she has remained dignified
and resolute throughout many personal and national upheavals and thankfully has
come through now into what many pray is a time of great fulfillment and joy with
the marriage of her grandson William last year. God bless our Queen.
