The Creation and Significance Behind Easter by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

At least once a year, God if you will, smiles upon the earth and holds it quite close and literally from that bosom of Abraham, we are all loved even more. My dear friends, it is this very day I tell you, long ago concocted by Greater Minds than our own, that we are to receive, and it was determined then a release of something called the resurrection fire, that thing that brings us all to life.  That thing that yearly then is released plentifully, beautifully upon this planetary body and beyond of course, but especially here.

You see, in the great, vast mind of God each planet is very specially cared for as to its particular needs.  And when it comes to this one, my dears, what we need here is forgiveness, and then resurrection which always follows in its wake.  This is the purpose of this thing you call Easter, far beyond any one tradition.  I say it spans your sweet globe, giving you all hope and telling you all that you can begin again.

It matters not what you’ve done in the years past.  Oh, consequences, of course, they must endure, mustn’t they?  But I tell you, these wear out when you focus on that which delivers you from them, the resurrection fire.  Come alive, my dears.  It is not only Lazarus, not only the Master Jesus, who took advantage of this thing, but all do whether they know it or not.  Why the very Earth itself thrills at this time. And for those of our beloved brethren who find themselves what we call “down under”, it occurs at this precise same time.  It isn’t their time of spring.  On the contrary, they would appear to be receding into their winter.  No matter!  I say they take it within and they live upon it, and it bursts forth in what you would call your autumn; and thus the equinoxes being important, as well as the solstices.

My dear friends, this day is set aside for each one of you to leave your past behind.  Can you do it?  Wouldn’t you like to?  All of your misunderstandings, let them go.  All of those times that you hung your head in shame, let it go.  The times you felt inadequate, insecure, gone now.  All of it gone, if you will, that you might feel something bubbling up within you called your new chance.  Yes, thus is the generosity of God, freedom from the known, joyous entrée into the unknown.  In great love, my dears. We greet you this day.

Since the Great Lord Buddha did take His High Office, He has chosen the full moon, which generally occurs in the English month of May to come forth in what is known as The Great Festival of Wesak. This shall be occurring again this year, as you know, approximately the 30th day of April*. The last day in March** having been the full moon of the Christ as we call it. This again transcending Christianity itself, as it is known on earth certainly, and is much more connected with the Christ principle held by the Great Lord Maitreya at this particular point. 

In Buddhist Law, it is known there is to yet come another Buddha, the Coming Buddha, the Lord Maitreya. This occurs, my dears, this occurs. This occurs yearly, could we say yearly, as these things grow closer and closer unto us all. That full moon having only recently occurred, we now look toward the grand festival of Wesak when initiates, aspirants, and the many probationers, and may I remind you in so saying I included all of you here, all are free to attend this grand thing whether they are in the body or not.  All are free to experience that wondrous moment when, at the point of the full moon, the Great Lord Buddha becomes yet greater, and you might say, unto Himself, gives a great initiation. He allows Himself to come one step closer to that nirvana that He hath relinquished in the role of the Boddhisatva. He allows Himself one step more of bliss, and that wondrous bliss pours off of Him, and the run-off blesses us all.

Oh, my dears, seek to have your spirit eyes opened, I say (your inner sight).  Have a grander desire than you’ve got!  You can move more quickly, you know.  It’s but your will that needs involvement, and I say this is the time, this is the time, while the resurrection fire burns and glows all about you.  You can use it to grow, to ascend, literally, and certainly to resurrect from that death which is only too much memory of past failings and thoughts.  Cut the ties, my dears.  Sever those threads of aka, and find yourselves free to rise above all things.  You will come out better, I tell you.  Anything that man has done, man can do.  You have lost nothing.  Timing has been the great adjuster, I say, but now, into your homes and into your hearts, welcome the Great Beings that attend upon this day (Easter Sunday) and know that they attend upon you, each One.

What would you do if I told you that this very day you’ve got the Greatest Cosmic Beings, of which we are aware, at your beck and call?  Yes.  They put Themselves there humbly, and they look at humanity and say, ‘What wouldst Thou?’  And so we’ve got this grand opportunity this Easter Day, my dears.  I say both together and privately, I encourage you to speak and utter your prayers.  Invoke the Grand Ones to help you.  They are ready.  Thus is the Power of Eastertide, beyond any thoughts of limited teachings and doctrines.  These, of course, must have their day that they might, like so many winds, blow away all that is misunderstanding.

Rise up, my dears.  Come to know who you are.  You are, all of you, resurrectors here to resurrect others.  Yes!  That be your role, you know.  I should accept it if I were you.  It is a sweet one, perhaps the sweetest of all.  Go about  giving sight to the blind, bringing the dead in spirit back to life, and be yourselves as Eastertides.  That is the Will of your celestial parents and the Will of all the Great Ones who bid you sweet love this day, sweet love unto all.  Stretch forth your hands and heal my dears.  Bring your brethren back to life, as you yourselves have been brought back.  So be it for a thousand years.  So be it.  Amen”

The Ascended Master Lord Hilarion speaks about belief and doubt. He shares how to believe more deeply and be free from doubt. He says, “Live not in doubt; it does you no favor. Believe all that you dare to believe.”
