As
we approach Easter Time many children (and maybe adults too!) will be thinking
about Easter eggs. The egg is a great symbol of new life. In the Northern
hemisphere nature is abundant with flowers, fresh green leaves on the trees,
baby animals and birds. Easter falls at the weekend nearest to the full moon
when the Sun is in Aries. This is the first sign of the zodiac, so it is also
the time of the re-birth of a new zodiac year.
In
some ways it is a better time of year than the beginning of January to make a
New Year resolution and I have some thoughts to share about this.
I
was recently reading an article in one of our UK newspapers about a charity
fund-raising endeavour promoted by one of our big supermarket chains. They are
encouraging customers to ‘Be a good egg’. Their definition of this is someone
who helps ill or vulnerable people, and their most important characteristics of
a ‘good egg’ are humility and kindness. This really struck a chord for me, as
these are two qualities White Eagle often stresses in his teaching.
So
maybe a ‘good egg’ resolution for you this Aries full moon time could be to do
a simple act of kindness for a neighbour, family member or friend.
Another idea is to give a lonely person a
handmade gift or card. When we make something ourselves, it may not look as
finished and professional as shop bought items, but we have put something of
ourselves into it, which will touch the receiver. The love and caring thought
behind it will touch their heart.
Then another idea I have to suggest is creating
your personal Easter day affirmation. Maybe affirming something truly positive
about yourself and your positive ‘good egg’ thoughts for the new zodiac year
ahead.
And finally, a few of White Eagle’s own words
which are also printed in our latest issue of Stella Polaris: ‘Have you ever noticed that so many of the
spring flowers in your northern hemisphere—the daffodil, the hyacinth, and many
others, are manifesting the symbol of the six-pointed Star; six petals? Even
deep within the flower you will see another little star in many of them. We
suggest that you should look into your spring flowers and see there the message
of the Christ, the arisen Christ.’

On Easter Sunday I shall be in the New Lands
Temple for our service at 11.15am and then, (after a shared lunch) at 1.30pm
talking on an ‘egg’ theme! ‘The Golden
Egg—a Journey to the Great Pyramid’. Do join me if you can.
