Soul's Journey Column
by Marcelina

 

Life is about initiation and I have to work my way through the many spiritual practices I have been introduced to in the West. But, just as anything else in life, I realized that for everything that is real there is also a counterfeit in some of the teachings. I only have to remember that I, and you, and all of us are Beings of Light – nothing less. 

 Thus, my journey continuous…

Ritual Purpose

by Marcelina

I Am Gray, I stand between the light and the dark. I am Deleen, I stand between the candle and the Light! Ambassador Deleen (Babylon 5) passionately calls out as she performed the Ritual of Summoning of the Gray Council… in Valin’s name.

A Ritual, what is it? What is its purpose?

There are so many interpretations of what this word, Ritual, means. Some theologians and anthropologists describe it as a form of performing a divine service, such as in a church or a sacred place. For others who do not cater to any specific religious guidelines, it is a call of worship, a ceremony that contains a rite or rites of service or sacrifice. A ritual to me is an act that honors the Divine within the Self. It is an honor code that we all have been assigned to comply with, whether we’re aware of it or not. It is also a Call for Guidance or assistance from the Divine Helpers to bring forth manifestation of your desires or intentions. In return, and as co-creator, you are to perform a service as part of the bargain. You know the saying…you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours? - similar principle, a give and take. And that’s where the ‘sacrifice’ comes in, your side of responsibility. You want to lose weight, the sacrifice may be to avoid overeating chocolate, or get some exercise.

Rituals may be performed as a habitual behavior, such as taking a hot bath before going into a meditation or ceremony. Or it can be as simple as lighting a stick of incense when you rise in the morning, or saying simple words of greetings like, Hello World! or… Hello Great Sun! You, who gives me Light, Joy and Wellness. Rituals are something you feel ‘right’ doing, instead of it being imposed on you… like brushing your teeth. You don’t want anybody to tell you how to do it, or what brand of toothpaste you should use. You do it because you already have learned (?) how to do it from previous trainings - from your parents, traditions, culture, past lives, etc.

Ceremonies and rituals are also cyclic.  Every year on Christmas time we go through the process of honoring the birth of Jesus Christ by giving gifts to our loved ones, a sacrifice to some if credit cards are used up to the hilt. And for some, it is a time to honor the return of the Sun God, (Winter Solstice) who brings forth warmth and comfort during the cold winter season.

Keep Sharing the Light!
