We rise, O Creator, in salute to the coming of the life force to earth, once again;

To the receiving of the Christos Divine.

In reception of thy first born Sun, we give Thee thanks.

We stand in awe and anticipation of the growth of the fruits of earth.

Through thy miraculous creation, we seek to enjoy, to be One with Thee on earth.

I welcome you this day, as the Light of Christ descends, to light the way, to provide the food and raiment for thy servants.

We accept thee, O Christ, through our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ of Earth.

We have again arrived at the time of Easter. Once more we have reached the Great Cosmic Drama of growth, and the descension of the Solar Christ in all power into the matter of earth.

We celebrate the mystic birth at Christmas and the mystic death and liberation, and now we celebrate the life impulse from the Cosmic Christ which entered the earth last fall at the fall equinox and came to the mystic birth at Christmas time.

Which performed its wonders of magic – the fecundation of the seeds planted.

In the months between the autumn and the present Easter time, the life spark of the seed is liberating itself from the cross of matter, to rise again; reaching toward the throne of God the Father, clothed in the glory of spring, ready for its physical manifestation and activities of the summer season and its fruition and maturity.

The spiritual ray sent out by the Cosmic Christ each fall to replenish the smoldering vitality of earth, is about to ascend toward the throne of God the Creator, reaching up in their many forms toward his first born Sun.

At this time of year a new life, an augmented energy sweeps over the earth with its irresistible impulse of the spirit through the many arteries and veins of the earth and its living body.

Infused by its Lord and Master Jesus Christ.

Inspiring and instilling new hope and new ambition, washing away of the old errors and starting anew.

We are impelled to the activity of reaching toward God the Creator, that we may learn the new lessons in the school of experience.

Consciously or unconsciously, we will reap the benefits of the outwelling of the invigorous impulse of life in everything that lives, in the plant kingdom, in the animal kingdom and in the kingdom of humans.

Once again we seek through the multiplication of the many life forms of earth, to glorify a higher state of consciousness of the Creation of God.

Once again, through the wonders of the transformation of the elements and minerals and forces of earth manifested physically change the waste of forms past and dead, in the rebirth of new forms to come.

Into the wondrous bloom of the gardens, of the fields, and of the forests.

The most insignificant element, now has its opportunity to manifest and gain greater spiritual consciousness, in cooperation with its Laws of Creation, and the other elements of earth seeking new manifestation.

This Cosmic Drama which has gone down through the eons of time at this point of cosmic evolution with its material effects brought about from the Christos under the four cardinal signs, Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, is the most significant occurrence at this spring equinox.

Brothers and Sisters, once again we see the words that the Master gave to us, through nature in all its glory, to bring forth the great truth, "In God we live and move and have our being."

Now that we have cleansed away and set aright, we turn our face once more to the east and the rising sun, unwavering in our efforts to abide, to be the universal form itself, and to follow that which we know – that humans were made in God’s Image.

Following the Laws of Creation through our Creator, expressed in our daily labors, to give glory to the Hosts above and to our Creator in heaven through our Master Jesus Christ.

For this Cosmic Drama reveals the cosmic play. As humans go through this, so goes the sun through the death and resurrection at this time of year.

For like humans, as we pass through the crucifixion, through the death and resurrection in our cosmic initiation, the life of the God man in Christ Jesus is molded in conformity with this solar story.

For it is through the overshadowing movement of the harmony of the spheres that humans may see and know that we follow the eternal way through the Master of our Order.

That each Brother and Sister of the Holy Order, consecrated through this Order many know that they follow a divine and solar path of initiation, and that the words of the Master of this Order, …"Of all these things I do, so shall ye do…" were not idle words falling on cold and unfeeling forces of nature.

Nature, through the living substance of the Christ of the Creator does nothing in vain. There is a purpose behind everything and every act.

Therefore we should be alert to the signs of heaven and the smells of hell, and learn to read the deep ingrained import of their meaning, which has a bearing on us.

The understanding of the purposes of Christ more efficiently reveals the wonders of the cosmic path of travel, and brings forth the emancipation of the races of earth and liberation into a full measure of the glory and honor of immortality.

Free from the powers of darkness, of sickness and suffering, which now curtail our lives through our ignorance and non-conformity to the Laws of the Divine Mother/Father God of Creation.

We, of this Holy Order, who have taken on the lifetime or the eternal vows, look ahead now with the clear and uninterrupted vision at the pathway of initiation.

Depending on whether or not we are willing to pay the price, and lend our cooperation in the molding and freeing of humans from their fetters of ignorance.

Receiving the light, and covering the earth with its life.

This is a holy night and its work of magic in our nature according to the way in which we have embraced the fullness of the order and the great cosmic Hosts above.

We are acting in accord with the spirit to bring the life of earth into its full illumination and progression.

And this progress will exhilarate or retire in accord with the service we render or fail to render.

Determining whether a new opportunity will be given to the race of humans, and whether we add a new and higher heavenly impulse to our brothers and sisters.

Giving to them a greater opportunity to liberate themselves from the cross of matter, until all have an opportunity to move dynamically out and seek their spiritual adventures on other spheres, to seek their way back to the Creator through the Sun.

We of the priesthood seek but one path – the path of lowly service to the divine emancipation of the glorious forces and matter of earth.

Dedicated to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Go ye forth as Sons and Daughters of Earth, who have taken on the Light of Christ and the armor of the spirit, go now, seek ye out the darkness and replace it with light.

In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen
