The Festival of Humanity

– World Invocation Day

There are Three Spiritual Festivals that are celebrated in the consciousness calendar every year.

The Three Festivals are aligned with and follow the lunar and astrological phenomena of the rotation of the planets and the stars. They are observed through the cycle of the Moon as it navigates through the stars constellations.

The observation of these energetic cycles is very archetypal and ancient indeed. In fact, the Church fathers used the influx of these energies in guiding the Church calendar when they determined that the celebration of Easter fell in the alignment of this energetic cosmic cycle in the first century. The date of Easter is always celebrated on the First Sunday following the Full Moon in the astrological sign of Aries.

The very first in the cycle of the Three Spiritual Festivals is aligned with the ongoing work of the Christ in the world since His miracle of resurrection and accession to the Father. These events are deep mysteries that have influenced humanity energetically in ways that transcend belief, faith, and human understanding.

The ways of God in His ongoing attempt to bring humanity into right relationship with Him are mysterious. Although theologians and religion have a long tradition of creating a dogma that they require the faithful to espouse, the ways of the Divine are more wondrous and miraculous than is understood by most human consciousness at this time.

The fact that miracles are beyond understanding
is what makes them miracles.
~ Genevieve Gerard

The cosmic nature of God and His relationship with humanity is one of the great mysteries of human existence.

For all that mankind thinks that it knows, and understands is the confrontation that there is much that we do not know. Within the human experience, there is a bond that exists between the human heart and Soul and the glorious Presence of the Divine, a bond of Love that can be experienced but never adequately explained.

This bond is found in a relationship; a relationship that exists between the Creator and the created. That relationship has often been described, with such mysterious and lofty words as Grace or the Peace that passes understanding. The very statement that this relationship is beyond human understanding opens your heart and mind to an attitude of an “I-Thou” relationship that relies upon communion and revelation from God into the deepest spark of Divinity within you, your Soul.

This mutually longed for relationship reveals the Divine purpose of the three great spiritual festivals. During this time in the Cosmic calendar, marked by the cycle of earth’s Moon are a time of revelation.

The revelations are focused on greater understanding and awareness of energies that are coming to earth from the Mind of God and the Heart of God with the Will of God to bring about God’s plan of evolution for his creation humanity.

As has been true since the very first breath of creation, there is in the human experience Free Will. That makes the energies of the three festivals available but only as much as you open your heart and mind to be receptive to the awareness through prayer, meditation and intuition to the promptings of your Soul.

Each of the three springtime spiritual festivals provides its own purpose and flow of energy by blending the aspects below:

Hierarchy	Love aspect of God	Festival of Resurrection	Aries
Shamballa	Will aspect of God	Festival of Wesak	Taurus
Humanity	Divine Intelligence	Festival of Humanity	Gemini

The Festival of the Resurrection

“I come forth and from the plane of mind, I rule.”

The first is known as the Festival of the Resurrection. This festival occurs right before Easter and is a celebration of the resurrection. The keynote is Love.

The Wesak Festival

“I see, and when the eye is opened, all is light.”

The second is the Wesak Festival. It is held at the Taurus Full Moon. The keynotes are wisdom & divine purpose.

Wesak is celebrated around the world and focuses upon the blending of the Wisdom of the Buddha and the Divine Love of the Christ blending and merging the energies of Love and Wisdom for humanity.

The Festival of Humanity

“I recognize my other self and in the waning of that self, I grow and glow.”

The final celebration is at the Gemini Full Moon and is called the Festival of Humanity. The keynote is Humanity, aspiring to God.

At this time and in the three days preceding and following the actual peak of the Full Moon, humanity receives the guidance and impressions of the prior full moon activations of the Christ’s resurrection energies, and the blessings of the Christ and Buddha’s blending of Love with Wisdom.

The Festival of Humanity (also known as the Festival of Goodwill) is a cosmic celebration of the dispersing of these energies to humanity as a whole. This is sometimes also called the Festival of the Christ because the Ageless Wisdom tell us that the Christ in His ongoing role of World Savior sends forth to all His disciples on earth the energies they need to propel humanity throughout the next year to make the world a better place.

This blessing is mystical and yet emerges into the consciousness of all those faithful who are aligned with the Christ throughout the world, through the communion of the church and throughout the efforts of the Men and Woman of Goodwill known as the New Group of World Servers.

The empowerment of those who serve humanity with dedication are demonstrated through self-forgetfulness; harmlessness and right speech, for these, are the characteristics of a member of the New Group of World Servers.

At the time of the Festival of Humanity (World Invocation Day), the Hierarchy will, under the guidance of the Christ, let loose the will-to-good upon Humanity, producing seven great results:

7 Great Results

Power will be given to the disciples of the world and the initiates among humanity so that They can direct efficiently and wisely the coming process of rebuilding.

The will-to-love will stimulate the men and women of goodwill everywhere so that hatred will gradually be overcome and humanity will seek to live together cooperatively.

The will-to-action will lead intelligent people throughout the world to inaugurate those activities which will lay the foundation for a new, better and happier world.

The will-to-cooperate will steadily increase also. Men and women will desire and demand right human relations.

The will-to-know and to think correctly and creatively will become an outstanding characteristic of the masses. Knowledge is the first step towards wisdom.

The will-to-persist (which is an aspect of devotion and fixed idealism) will become a human characteristic – a sublimation of the basic instinct of self-preservation.

The will-to-organize will further a building process which will be carried forward under the direct inspiration of the Hierarchy. The medium will be the potency of the will-to-good of the New Group of World Servers and the responsive goodwill of humankind.

To be a part of this service and work requires no dogma or belief, rather the heartfelt desire of service to humanity to make this world a better place.

At five p.m. across the world in every time zone, so this prayer chain circumnavigates the world every day, is a blessing that energetically supports this work and service.

I invite you to pause and take a moment to help empower humanity to make the transitions of consciousness that are unique to this moment in time and space. By saying the blessing below daily, you will strengthen and empower those who work to transform the world.

Blessing of The New Group of World Servers

May the Power of the One Life
pour through the group of all true servers;

May the Love of the One Soul
characterize the lives of all who
seek to aid the Great Ones.

May we fulfill our part in the One Work
through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness,
and right speech.

At five p.m. every day going forward, wherever you are, let us join our Soul Light with Love to the millions of those across the world who work to help humanity.

One of the amazing aspects of being a part of a Soul group is that you need not even be consciously aware of the group. You, if you focus on love, light and service to humanity, are a part of this worldwide effort and the blessings invoked around the world by those conscious of this effort are available to you to support and empower your work and service.

At no other time in the year is the energy more powerfully available than at this Full Moon when the Festival of Humanity is celebrated in the heavens and on earth.

At this propitious period, take a little time to ponder on this and be receptive as you sit quietly and calm your mind, open your heart and invite the light.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Celebrating Wesak A Ceremony of Unity

Genevieve Gerard

Celebrating Wesak A Ceremony of Unity

In the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, a tradition of many thousands of years, we explore a profound spiritual event that is rich with mystery of the unity, cooperation, and unification of Divine energies.

These create a mystical blending of the ongoing work in the world of the two great avatars, the two most profound spiritual presences who have ever influenced the world.

These are the Buddha and the Christ. Legend tells us that at the Taurus Full Moon the wisdom energy of the Buddha descends from Shambhala (the home of the Father) and blends and merges with the Divine Love energy that is brought to earth through the work and service of the Christ in a mystical event that brings a unification and world unity to humanity.

This particular expression of Divine purpose and Divine Will is supported by a host of spiritual beings who bridge the consciousness of humanity, with what is known as the overall plan of evolution, a plan formed in the Mind of God within the Heart of God.

These are lofty thoughts that strive to explain some of how the Divine reaches out to humanity in an ongoing relationship. Like all legends, these events speak to a symbolic truth to explain the unexplainable and express the unknowable. To consider these concepts, open your mind and listen with your heart. Let your Soul and your inner sensing of truth guide you.

This legend of Wesak speaks to the ongoing support and service of the Buddha and the continued service of the Christ on behalf of humanity. This is a great mystery in the continuing story of grace and salvation that continues throughout the human experience.

As you may know, the nature of the teaching of the Buddha goes back over 5000 years. The Buddha was historically the first to reach enlightenment. His teachings focus on the principles of wisdom that led him to enlightenment. Since the Buddha walked and taught his tradition his teachings have expanded across the planet guided by the principles of The Four Nobel Truths.

The Buddha, through his life, is credited with grounding the Divine energy of wisdom on planet earth. In the practice of Buddhist meditation from Zen to Mindfulness wisdom, the Four Nobel Truths and the principles of detachment are expressed.

At the end of his life the Buddha, through his compassion, dedication, and service to humanity, vowed to continue until all sentient beings reached enlightenment. Legend tells us that the Buddha then left the physical plane and ascended to continue this work from the plane of the mind of God. It is in response to his dedication to serving humanity to bring them to the state of consciousness that is called enlightenment that the Buddha energetically returns each year to empower humanity.

This return of the energy of the Buddha in the Wesak Valley is the honoring of that vow. The teachings of the Buddha and the ongoing work and service of the Buddha have had a major impact on humanity as Buddhism in its many forms has become one of the world’s great religions. Indeed following the principles of Buddhism enabled countless individuals in the span of time since the accession of the Buddha to reach out to, and strive for, right relationship with God.

There is among those who seek to understand the nature of God and the nature of man’s relationship with God, a concept that I have always found to capture and express a profound truth. God has since the first Light of creation strived to bring man into right relationship with God. This right relationship is often described as an “I-Thou” relationship.

It seems as we look over the whole history of humankind there has been an ongoing attempt for God to reach and teach humanity how to relate to God. This is known in theological circles as God’s saving grace through history.

This ongoing attempt of God to find a way to bring humanity into the right relationship can be seen interwoven throughout even the most ancient of scriptures such as the Bhagavadgita, a plethora of Buddhists scrolls and the writings and the revelations of both the Old and New Testament. The prophets of the Old Testament, the covenant relationship with Abraham and the whole history of religions known and faded from memory, weave a dynamic story of the relationship between God and His creation, humankind.

If you look at the history of the world from the perspective of God reaching out to humanity to teach how to be in right relationship with God, you see a pattern of revelation and redemption that makes the life of Jesus and the sacrifice of the Christ far more understandable and far more profound. Ponder on this!
– Genevieve Gerard

The salvation and sacrifice that is the mystery and miracle of the Easter story are clarified when you realize that 2,500+ years since the Buddha walked the earth Jesus was sent to transform how people understood and related to God. Before that time in the evolution of human awareness of God, the concept of God as love didn’t exist. This one change was vast. Part of the work of the Christ as the Son of God who was also a son of man was creating this transformation on earth.

The Ageless Wisdom reveals that in the sacrifice of the crucifixion the incredible power that shreds the veil in the temple, in those final moments of Good Friday when Jesus cried out “It is finished,” was the anchoring of Divine Love on earth.

This mystery, this miracle, changed everything that had ever been before and created a new covenant relationship with God, which was created and has continued, through the celebration of The Last Supper.

The sacrifice of God and the sacrifice of the Christ, aligned and assigned the Christ to the principle of Divine Love, a work that continues to this day. This great miracle and this great mystery are still being revealed and are evolving in human understanding.

Wesak Valley Festival

This blending of the work and purpose of the life of the Christ, which is manifesting Divine Love on Earth, with the work and purpose of the Buddha, which is the introduction and evolution of wisdom in humanity, is celebrated every year in a remote valley in the Himalayas known as the Wesak Valley.

This is a celebration that brings to the world the energies of Love-Wisdom. Legend reveals that one Moon after what is known as the Festival of the Christ, which is followed by the Celebration of the Resurrection, which is known as Easter, is a third powerful ceremony, Wesak.

These Full Moon ceremonies follow one another in the cycle of astrology which has long been associated with the energies of these exalted beings.

Wesak or Vesa, known as Buddha Purnima (purnima meaning the full moon day in Sanskrit) and Buddha Day, is sometimes called “Buddha’s Birthday”, because it actually commemorates the birth, enlightenment (nirvāna), and death (Parinirvāna) of Gautama Buddha.

Even though the Full Moon of Taurus has traditionally been a celebration of the Buddha’s birth, the festival of Wesak is much more mystical and magical than just the remembrance of a birth. It is at this time that the world service and the world purpose of the Christ as the avatar of Divine Love and the world service and world purpose of the Buddha, which is the Divine infusion of wisdom, merge.

Energetically at this time, there is a great gathering of those who serve God and humanity to bring about the Will of God, through the overall plan of evolution, to help disperse through humankind, the energies of the Divine that come to earth through the joined efforts of the Christ and the Buddha.

This event has taken place for thousands of years, although it may have never come to your individual awareness.

In the Wesak Valley, this blending of the Divine energies of Love and Will, for the distinct purpose of serving humankind, attracts on the inner plane the dedication and efforts of a vast array of beings. These beings are known by a number of names and descriptions. Among these being saints, masters of the hierarchy, initiates, angels, devas, and the men and woman of Goodwill. They are all part of the planetary effort to make this world a better place; that is under the direction of the Christ and are known collectively as the New Group of World Servers.

Those who meditate and pray as a part of their spiritual journey may find that they have recognized this special celebration through a sense of expanded insight or even in dreams. Long before I ever heard the description of these energies or had any conscious awareness or understanding of this happening I found myself drawn to meditation and prayer at his time of the year. Old journals are filled with guidance and impressions. After this time, I note that I often began important creative or writing projects. If you look back over the span of your life, you may well see that these subtle energies have had an unknown influence on your life. If so, you might wish to consider this and ponder further on this.

The Ageless Wisdom teaches that the energetic influence that is associated with a Full Moon is a 3-day span of time. This is called the orb of the Full Moon. The highest point of this inner plane ceremony takes place at the apex of the Full Moon.

On May 12, 2025, at 9:56 pm Pacific (USA) and 12:56 pm Eastern (USA), 5:56 pm in London and Tuesday May 13th 12:56 am in the Philippines or Hong Kong, people around the world will be gathering in groups, in meditation or in spirit, to join their Souls to this energetic blessing and infusion of Love-Wisdom.

Join us anytime up to two hours ahead off the full moon for a world wide meditation for the Wesak Full Moon of Taurus by calling into the USA number 1(857)216-6700 (enter the Conference Code: 569953 when prompted, toll charges may apply) starting on May 12, 2025 at 8:00 am Pacific (USA), 11:00 pm Eastern (USA), 4:00 pm London, and 11:00 pm in the Philippines. The exact time of the lunar full moon event is May 12, 2025 9:55:55 AM (Pacific US time.)

If this is completely a new concept to you, I invite you to gather your journal and pen, take the time, and connect with your Soul, as I have instructed you in many previous articles, with the intention of receiving whatever Soul guidance and impressions are available to you today.

If you are familiar with the Wesak Festival many groups are providing individual meditations in a wide variety of ways and venues. Please take the time to tune in!

Remember that the Wesak Festival is not affiliated with any religion, sectarian or denomination. It does not require any belief and all are welcome.

The way that God works in the world is not limited by your understanding. What you receive in impressions through the prompting of your own Soul is exactly perfect for you in this moment of time. As much as you are able, suspend thought and judgment as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light.

I invite you to, as a Soul, join in the celebration of oneness and world unity across the planet as humanity is receiving this blessing. Bless you for all that you do to demonstrate these divine principles of love and wisdom in the world.

Namaste,

Genevieve
