Have a blessed equinox. I hope you’re able to take some time during the sunset or sunrise on the day to commemorate it’s spiritual meaning, and to feel the divine presence of the Source and Spiritual Sun.
Thank you to each of you who has supported us over these last few months. It’s been such a big help, and has enabled us to continue working through all the material we plan to release as soon as we can.
The next book is nearly ready… I keep saying nearly, because books stay in the “nearly zone” for a long time, which is the final editing stage, and that time can’t be determined.
This is where it goes back and forth for editing numerous times. Everything needs cross checking, references need checking, research needs going over and expanding, images need adding, explanations need to be made as complete and clear as possible, sections need adding and reordering. And then Mark and I keep finding things to add even up to the last minute! We always find things we don’t expect. It’s amazing to go through the process of seeing ancient sites and texts come to life – being lit up by their true meaning, and that meaning being something so important and practically useful for us today.
The book cover is already designed and waiting; it’s really quite unique and beautiful. And the contents are pretty much all set. I am really looking forward to this one.
I’m now working on the next video to go with the release of the book, and have so many more videos planned (plus another book!).
We’ve decided at this stage to release 2 books (instead of the 4 originally planned), and do more videos instead. These 2 are the really important, weighty ones in any case. The other 2 will come out in time, but there will possibly be other books released before them that are more essential, as we’re trying to speed things up as much as we can.
Thank you all again, and the Sacred Sun be with you.
Hi Lara,
Thanks very much for the updates on the books and videos. I very much look forward to their completion and I’m sure they will all be well worth the wait, after all your, Mark’s and your publisher’s persistent efforts.
I hope you, Mark and everyone had a peaceful and spiritual equinox time. It was a reflective time for me, due to a family bereavement the week before the equinox. The day of the equinox itself was very low key for me. I couldn’t go out to celebrate in nature, due to my current circumstances, but was able to sit and watch the sun setting from my window. It had been a cloudy day, but there was just enough sun behind the clouds at sunset to be able to observe the subtle changes, with the birds flying home to roost silhouetted against the orangey sky.
It brought about mixed feelings for me. I felt sad, partly due to my recent loss, but also due to the realisation that I was probably the only person in the whole of my town, or even within the wider counties, who was marking the occasion. But on the other side was an appreciation that I’d been given enough inspiration through your and Mark’s work to place an importance on these solar events and dedicate some time to a spiritual celebration.
I had a dream around the same time, in which I decided that there was an inherent value in celebrating these events, however small the celebration may be, as doing so creates a counter-force to the darkness in the world. Thanks for your ongoing efforts in generating that counter-force within the world, which I and many others here value greatly.
Happy Equinox! The night is coming so quickly and the air is already cold. It seemed to happen instantly the day of the Equinox. Thanks for explaining the book updates and process. We are looking forward to them!
Thank you for your blessings Lara and wishing you and Mark lots of love and continued support to carry you through the unfolding of the truth, light and love of the Religion of the Sun.
Look forward with a grateful heart for the books to come.
I hope everyone had a meaningful and inspiring equinox time.
Hope it was a peaceful and inspiring Equinox Lara, Mark and to all the sun seekers. Such a beautiful time of year.
So wonderful to hear about the progress of the new book. Really looking forward to it. Thanks so much for all your efforts
Dear Lara & Mark,
Wishing you both had a very very successful Equinox, and for everyone as well.
Thank you so much for your tirelessly work. The update on the books sounds really promising, but it takes so much time. Those last minute details always are. Best wishes on bringing them forward as you had envisioned or even better than you had envisioned.
Wishing everyone a spiritual Equinox and that this new quarter brings Strength to all to in exploring further the Religion of the sun. Thank you Mark and Lara for your massive and continued efforts in bringing the Light to humanity in these dark times. Everyone I speak to is looking forward to the new books and we all wish you the best in bringing forth the new content.
Peace.
Thank you for your blessings and for the update on the new books.
With regards to the Equinox, I didn’t have any specific elaborate celebrations during this time apart from spending the early morning’s surrounded by nature and communing with the Sun to the best of my ability. It’s been interesting to notice that the birds seem to have their own way of worshipping the Sun, listening to them sing in chorus just as it rises over the hills.
All the best to everyone working to connect with and embrace the Solar forces.
Thank you Lara and Mark for your unceasing efforts in these times. Really looking forward to the new book and videos and hope everyone has gained much needed insight during this period.
Lauren
Thank you Lara very much for a detailed update on the books, which gave us some idea about how much work it takes to write them and that the most careful attention is being paid to the tiniest details. I really look forward to the new book as well as to the videos.
I wish everyone an inspiring equinox and that all sparks of the Greater Light currently dwelling on this planet will find their way back to the Source.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Equinox and for the rest of the year to be insightful.
Thank you for the update 🙏 Looking forward to your new books, and am very thankful for all the personal sacrifice of your time to produce them.
Wishing everyone a special equinox where ever they are, I hope the sun shines for everyone 🌅
Wishing you and Mark, likewise, blessings at this Equinox time. And to everyone part of this community, may the Light and Guidance of the Sun guide all of your Equinox events and internal reflections.
The time you are taking with the books is totally understandable, Lara. There is so much to uncover and I think we all understand the need to do it justice. I’m sure the forthcoming book will be a real beacon of light and knowledge for those around the world looking to bring these sacred teachings and practices of the sun to life. Now I’m also excited for the book cover :)
Thank you very much for the update Lara and for your hard work. It sounds like there is a lot waiting in the pipeline. :-) I know the work on the books always intensifies towards the end, as the “last minute” things keep popping up, together with different adjustments and corrections… In any case, it sounds like the two books may be ripe very soon!
Wishing you, Mark, and everyone here a very meaningful and Divinely connected equinox. <3
Thanks for the update Lara. Best wishes to everyone for a happy, reflective, and meaningful equinox.
Thanks for the update on the books and videos, Lara!
We’re very thankful for yours and Mark’s continuous efforts towards the spiritual – really inspiring!
Wishing everyone a great equinox.
Thank You Lara,
Wonderful to hear about the new material about to come out and I hope you and people all over the world enjoy this magical time of year.
PS: My Japanese friend had also claimed to have seen manji in her dreams, although not as often as Lingling, only once or twice and that was quite a long time ago.
Hi Lara,
Thank you so much for such an update on what you’ve been up to and your reminder about equinox! It is autumn in my part of the world and as the days get shorter I can feel that I’m slowly making a recovery from what I had been going through for the past few months(strange how when there was light in my part of the world there was darkness in my personal life) and I feel that I have grown a lot during te past few months(it is kinda personal that I haven’t decided if I wanted to share it) It has taken a toll on both my life in the mundane and my pursuing of the spiritual,but also thanks to it I have realized what I still need to work on as a person. Now I’m spending more time reflecting on myself each day and considering what I need to do to improve myself, making me a better person in general. A few days ago there was a moment where I walked near a car and saw the reflection of the sun on its window right above my head,I felt really empowered and cannot describe how I felt at that moment with words. Soon afterwards someone called me and I derived my attention away but just that mo ment would be one of those times in my life where I felt the deepest connection to the Sun and something that I would remember for the rest of my life. As for Lingling she has been repeatedly seeing a manji/ wanzi(forgot the name in English,I only know its name in Japanese and Chinese off the top of my head) in her dreams and she is now kinda confused as to what that symbol might mean. She asked a few atheist friends about this but all she was told was that it was Fascist symbol. She was not convinced since she claims that when she saw that symbol she felt really warm as if the sun was shining directly on her and there was nothing threatening about it at all. Before it was upcoming catastrophes that she saw in her dreams, and now a mysterious symbol that she struggles to understand,she keeps wonders what this might mean and is praying for guidance. Other than these everything seems to be going well with the spiritual community that have been established here, and some of the people who used to cause us trouble so-to-speak,are now used to what we are doing and they just leave us alone. There may still be many difficulties lying ahead,but I am overall optimistic about the future and that I will continue to learn and grow as I walk the spiritual path of the Sun.
I’m so glad to hear how you’re doing Emily. I’ve always found that if I want light, I have to go through darkness without losing grip. To lose grip and get towed by the undercurrent of darkness is only to follow a vortex down into more and more darkness. It’s so important to hold on and make it through.
The manji symbol is called the swastika in English. It’s part of ancient Japanese and Chinese culture. For example, old Samurai helmets were found with swastikas on them, and apparently the Chinese even adopted it in the Tang dynasty as a symbol of the sun, though it was also known as “wan” and signified “the myriad of things,” meaning the whole of creation.
The swastika was a very important symbol in the ancient Religion of the Sun, and spread around the world. The oldest swastika was carved onto the tusk of a woolly mammoth 12,000 years ago.
It’s hard to believe society is so ignorant of this, and 12,000 years of history can be wiped because of one event just decades ago. I see this as the job of the religion of the sun – to bring light again to the things that have been lost. Maybe that is part of the reason why Lingling is seeing that symbol in her dreams, as did your Japanese friend.
Thanks for writing those few words Lara. Remembering to fight to get clear rather than think I have to hold onto the identification with situation x until it’s resolved.
To everyone for the equinox – Wherever you are and whatever you’re doing, wishing you to have that real bond to the divine. So rare in this world and special.
Nice to read an update on the books.
Taking a step back, it’s not just final touches and edits to put this into writing now. In the bigger picture of time how much has it taken for Mark to acquire the knowledge to be able to write this for people now. Words fall short.
And you guys are such a team! and such works.
I’ve seen a few things, but I’m not sure what exactly lies ahead. 🌅💪
Happy Equinox everyone! Thank you so much Lara and Mark for all your work and help! Looking forward to welcoming the new books and videos :)
Hi Emily, regarding swastika, I just wanted to add that in the prehistoric rock carvings of the Western Tibet, the swastika is often interchangeably used with the sun (which correlates with its use in India, where it is associated with the Sun god Surya), so its interesting how your friend Lingling “felt warm, as if the sun was shining directly on her…” in her dreams. In these Tibetan carvings, the swastika also sometimes takes on a form of a bird, or people (becoming anthropomorphic), which I thought was interesting, as in the ancient Tibet, the advanced spiritual people were often associated or symbolized with the big birds of prey.
I also just found out that there is a long article on swastika on Wikipedia, which shows in just how many cultures this symbol has been historically used, and how many variations of it exist.
Blessings to you too, dear Lara and Mark!
May you have a magical and deeply spiritually nourishing equinox time!
Yes, I am so much looking forward to celebrate it with my brothers and sisters, we will make it a powerful spiritual celebration of light. All the best to you with your new books and videos and everything!
Just to add, have watched recently a very interesting video “The History of Solar Worship with Jordan Maxwell.” It totally lacks a deeper spiritual/esoteric aspect, but so interestingly, connects the dots in a scientific way. You can find it on Youtube.
Looking forward to this next book coming out… a new frontier. Thank you both for all your persistent efforts.
Wishing everyone a blessed equinox filled with spiritual meaning and light.
