Whenever I see a blade of grass that has pushed its way through an asphalt road I stop and applaud before continuing on my way with renewed hope and inspiration. It is reassuring to know that the power of life will break the bonds of any imposed form. But where does this creative urge and expressive ability come from? Questions like this have propelled me along many paths of exploration and during one of these cerebral wanderings I stumbled upon the concept of black holes in

Welcome to this exact time Full Moon Meditation held in the solar sign Virgo when the moon is full in Pisces at 6:35 PM. We warmly welcome your participation in this global group meditation to receive, register, and radiate the special energies available. We closed the evening with a special blessing and healing time for the victims and survivors of the fires in Maui as well as for those other places around the world where extreme weather conditions are causing suffering. T

As the summer begins to wind down, the shift in the energy has felt intense and palpable - both on a global scale and locally here in Ojai, where we have experienced a large earthquake and many aftershocks.   During these times, it is even more important to hold our center, ground, and remember our connection to all living things and the heart of the planet.  Our offering of Meditation Mount as a sanctuary for the soul holds the intention of doing just that - providing a plac

When we contemplate the task of building a Temple, it may conjure up images of careful labor and diligent construction over many years to...

The full moon of Leo offers an opportunity to sensitize ourselves to the right use of power – moving away from self-assertion and domination into a selfless assumption of true leadership. Leo, as the Lion King, calls forth the courage to lead with love and sensitivity in service to others. The need for soul-inspired leadership in all walks of life has never been greater as we deal with a wide-spread fallout resulting from the misuse of power and self-centered actions from man

As we witness the elections taking place around the globe to choose new leaders of nations and local regions, it appears that there is a powerful tug-of-war going on everywhere between the ideal of democracy – where ‘ we the people’ determine the future by consensus – and a strong tendency towards centralization of power in the hands of the few that eventually manifests as dictatorship. It may be useful to pause and reflect on the true nature of politics and the ethical requ

Our theme was: ‘Abundance and the Never-ending Search for Gold’. The word ‘abundance’ typically conjures up an image of a vast cornucopia of riches – a basket of plenty overflowing with all that we desire in life. However, we are not speaking here of a surfeit of material possessions but, instead, of the eternal search for the golden riches of a soul-inspired life. Why though, is this treasure always hidden from view and how do we go about discovering its elusive whereabouts?

Welcome to the Full Moon Meditation held in the sun sign of Cancer (full moon in Capricorn). Cancer is a Water sign in which “the purificatory waters of experience begin their beneficent work.” This is the sign of the Crab who carries a house upon its back and the opportunity inside the influence of this constellation is reflected in its motto, “I build a lighted house and therein dwell”. In, Cancer we are invited to radiate our Light out into the world and to not hide this d

In a world where people are struggling to make ends meet, where many are hungry and living below the poverty line, it might sound incongruous and somewhat fanciful to focus this month on the theme of ‘Abundance’. The word ‘abundance’ typically conjures up an image of a vast cornucopia of riches – a basket of plenty over-flowing with all that we desire and need in life.  However, we are not talking of amassing a surfeit of material possessions but, instead, entering the eterna

Our theme will be:  ‘The Lightness of Joy in Dark Places’’.  Joy is a special wisdom that illumines and warms our heart and sheds a welcome light on the Path ahead as we traverse the dark places of Earth as part of our journey through the inner and outer terrain of incarnated life. Many people are asking themselves, “How can I be truly joyful while surrounded by so much suffering?” Understanding and resolving the conundrum of pain and joy co-existing inside the same temporal

We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating the Festival of Goodwill – a world-wide group meditation in the solar sign Gemini (full moon in Sagittarius) through which we can receive, register and radiate the special energies available. We have now arrived at the third of the three major festivals of the spiritual year that began in the Fire sign of Aries with Easter and its theme of Regeneration and Resurrection, continued in the Earth sign of Taurus with the Wesak Festiva

“ How can I be truly joyful while surrounded by so much suffering ?”  This was the question posed by a friend last week and my guess is that many of us have had similar ponderings. The jagged and jarring scenes of suffering that fill our collective field of vision and surface feelings of despair and despondency are the precipitates and products of past thoughts and actions.  In contradistinction to this pain, the heart-lighted joy we sense burning deep inside the innermost re

Our theme will be:  ‘Divine Duality and the Natural Urge to Create’.  All that we see around us is the result of a co-creative process and the Ageless Wisdom Teaching states that the manifested Universe is a Child born out of the consummation of a sacred communion between the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine aspects of the One Life. This Dual Origin, according to the Agni Yoga tradition, constitutes the two poles of the Cosmic Magnet functioning as the generative age

Welcome to the Festival of Wesak held in the solar month of Taurus (with the Full Moon in Scorpio). We warmly invite your participation in this world-wide group meditation to receive, register and radiate the special energies available. The Wesak Festival honors the Buddha – the Lord of Light – who uses this occasion each year to bless humanity with the Light of Illumination that greatly aids in our destined journey of transformation from “darkness to light, from the unreal

All that we see around us is the result of a co-creative process of cosmic proportions. The Ageless Wisdom teachings explain that the manifested universe is the Child born out of the consummation of a sacred communion between the Duality of the Divine Feminine and the Divine Masculine. This Dual Origin, according to the Agni Yoga tradition, constitutes the two poles of a Cosmic Magnet that functions as the primary agent of the Creator in an enduring generative act of Creation

Our theme will be:  ‘The Compelling Call of the Soul’.  There is a compelling call resounding throughout the ethers for us to wake up, shape up and show up. An alarm bell is sounding as an urgent reminder from the soul for us to shift from acting as separate and self-centered units of consciousness focused on survival to embrace an expanded awareness of ourselves as co-creative partners with Life who have the power to make a positive difference. This urgent request to act wi

We are pleased to present this Full Moon Meditation held in the solar sign of Aries (with the Full Moon in Libra). It was a wonderful opportunity to gather as a world-wide group and receive, register, and radiate the special energies available. We are also pleased to announce that these monthly meditations will now be held again inside the Auditorium at Meditation Mount and will also be live-streamed to our online community. We would like to continue offering these monthly me

Here in the northern hemisphere, April heralds the advent of spring and opens the door for renewal as we witness the emergence of new life from out of the darkness of winter. Buds swell on trees and tender shoots push their way into the light of day as the Fire of Aries impregnates and re-awakens the dormant life of a prior season. It is a fertile and fecund period in which the promise and possibilities held within the seed are revealed. Aries welcomes and ushers in new b

This Full Moon Meditation Online experience was led by Board Member Diana Lang . We warmly invite your participation in this world-wide group meditation to receive, register and radiate the special energies pouring through this particular celestial gateway. The Water sign of Pisces, through its ruler Pluto, leads to the dissolution of those forms which no longer are able to contain the new dispensation of spiritual energies. Pluto frequently brings about the death and endin

The ethers are humming and teeming with messages and something or someone is always attempting to call and attract our attention to make their needs known. We receive a constant and broad-spectrum stream of incoming signals – ranging from the call of the Soul that seeks to guide and enlighten us during our sojourn on Earth to the desperate cries of pain and anguish from human hearts immersed and enmeshed in a world of suffering. We are being asked to register and respond to t

Our theme will be:  ‘Becoming a Spiritual First Responder’.  Whenever natural disasters strike and human tragedies occur, there are teams of first responders providing aid and comfort. As well as skilled hands who can tackle wildfires, rescue people from collapsed buildings and tend to the wounded at the scene of an accident, there is a real need for those who are equipped to offer spiritual first aid. We will explore the various ways by which it is possible to relieve suffe
