HARVEST MOON


The 2013 Harvest Moon for the Northern Hemisphere comes a few days before the equinox this year, on the nights of September 18-20.  In contrast, the Feast of Tabernacles began at sunset the 19 (20)  of September through the 25th of September 5-days after the Days of Awe.
  
I certainly do not try to make or equate everything with religion.  Those who know me and have read my writings know that to the contrary.  However, you may also know that, to me, there is no separation in Science and Spirituality or the Laws of the Universe and that Divine Energy many call G-D.
G-D is ALL!  One cannot separate gravity from gravity or the Laws of Gravity!  Gravity just is!  G-D or Energy and Matter just is!



So, those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, if you look at the moon tonight it will be waning.  However, for those of you in the Eastern Hemisphere, you will be witnessing the intensity and brightness of the Harvest Moon as we did in the Western Hemisphere tonight and a few nights ago--when the moon is closest to the autumnal equinox.  


Although the Harvest Moon looks bigger than any other moons, it is not really bigger, brighter or more pumpkin-colored than usual. However, it’s special because, at this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere the   time between one night to the next is shorter than usual.


Could this be an attestation and a sign of the Holy Convocations that were inaugurated for this time of the year?  That the Creator truly wants to get closer to mankind?  Softly shinning light upon us, as a peacock fans the brilliance of his greenish, iridescent tail plumage when he is wooing the females? 

Could it be that we are being wooed by the brilliance of this rare moon to come closer; that the Creator of all the Earth truly wants to “Tabernacle” within?  That mankind is meant to be “Ingathered” or assembled as a fully matured “harvest”? To come into the effulgence of Divine Light that we may shine with the brilliance of Spirit that dwells within and that surrounds us; to bring forth fruits worthy of a sacrificial offering?


There is purpose for and to everything.  For us not to acknowledge this and our Life-Purpose is to deny the Divinity of  the Creator.  It is to say that mankind was left to our own devices and therefore there is no purpose to life here on earth. 

The holiday of Sukkot or Tabernacles or Ingathering are to reap  the blessing of the Creators provisions and care that comes to all of mankind.


It is time to break free and get out of the box!

Me, well, I have been outside the box for a long time. Yes, it is a lonely place to be.  However, if you will fulfill your destiny; if you will walk into redemption into your Life-Purpose, it will necessitate stepping outside normalcy into spirituality.  It’s a spiritual thing!  The Spirit works out the process of that which has been revealed to each of us.



At each level there is a working and growth process.  If one does not step outside the box they will stagnate and die going through life as a walking dead wishing, at their time of the end, now that they can see clearer, wish that they would have done more; lived more; loved more.


Each day for me is new.  I am not saying that I ‘get it’ right away, even we Apostles continue to go through a process.  But what I am saying is that I continue to allow Spirit to stretch me, to take me where my spirit-man has not gone before.


Step outside that box and allow Spirit to bring you into this dispensation of a New Tabernacle, into a New Harvest;  into new concepts; into new ideas, thoughts and mind; into new prospects of an abundant life as a Christ (anointed one)!  Indeed, it is only through the Christ Principles that we become New that we can enter into our Promised Land. Catch the Vision!

Happy Prosperous Yom Kippur

Tradition is not to say blessed Yom Kippur. However, to me, when any shortcomings are faced and dealt with; excused or pardoned; when repentance is acknowledged and you become one with Spirit, that is blessed and happy! That is being At-One-Moment that one knows they are one with YAH G-D or the Universe or whatever vernacular you care to use!






Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the year—the day on which we are closest to our Creator, in quintessence of soul; a day to reflect on the graces and gifts given to mankind.  It is the Day of Atonement—“For on this day G-D will forgive you, to purify you, that you be cleansed...”  Yom Kippur began at sunset and will end at sunset. (Some begin at sunset the day before the 14th day.)


Traditionally, Yom Kippur is considered the date on which Moses received the second set of Ten Commandments, which occurred following the completion of the second 40 days of learning and testing. It commemorates coming out of slavery and bondage looking toward a new beginning of entering into one's Promise Land. During that time, the people were granted atonement for the sin (errors) of worshiping the Golden Calf.  Therefore, the day was designated as the Day of Atonement. Signifying even now our atonement and the sealing of the names of the atoned ones being written in the Book of Life!


The significance for us today, well, one can only answer that question and come to a righteous deduction for themselves.  As for me and my house…Catch the Vision!  


L'shanah tovah tikatev v'taihatem!  May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year Happy and prosperous Yom Kippur!
