 The Rodan Foundation's Publication for the Metaphysical Church of Enlightenment, March 2025

 In 1981, Reverend Clarke Carraway founded The Rodan Foundation with the intention of creating a powerful, growing community of awakening beings who experience love, peace, prosperity, unity, healing, harmony, and revelation through learning and service. The Rodan Foundation, recognizing the Law of Cause and Effect, expresses gratitude for the many blessings it reaps from the community's experiences.


Welcome! Join with us in our dynamic weekly services where we discover our true purpose in an emerging world.  Experience the revelation of our collective awakening to the power of love, the wonder of our multi-dimensional capacities, and the joy in reclaiming earth as our home. Sunday mornings provide the opportunity to celebrate life with like-minded beings and experience personal reassurance  and empowerment through the spiritual messages of Reverend Carraway's mediumship. We look forward to your participation enhancing our community. 


THE SPRING EQUINOX:

THE TIME TO OPEN YOUR HEARTS

FOR PEACE

 
 

As a race we are currently going through monumental changes. During this transitory period there is much upheaval on multiple levels. As a counter-measure it is essential that we defend our consciousness, find inner peace to help us navigate through these challenging times. -The spring equinox is an opportunity to do just that. The 20th of March 2025 marks the spring equinox (the ‘1st day of spring’ or ‘vernal equinox’) for the northern hemisphere. It denotes a time when night and day are more or less equal as the sun is precisely above Earth’s equator. There is also a spiritual significance as the spring equinox marks a turning point. A triumph of the returning light over darkness as the days start to grow longer.  While the ‘physical sun’ is responsible for the equinox, there’s also an ‘invisible sun’ that works in conjunction.  This is where we come into it. Whether it’s as an individual or on the collective level, the spring equinox, the start of the returning light is an invitation for us to pay homage to our own ‘invisible sun,’ our inner light, during the gathering to mark this occasion and time of year.

The message in the equinox is to realize that from the darkest times during winter comes the light! In retrospect we must not let the darkness overwhelm us. As in a number of different circumstances, the most difficult, challenging times serve as catalysts for our own personal growth or transformation as a race.  This is why it’s important to go within and focus on our inner light.  As the spring breaks out, with a focus on your inner light, literally or metaphorically speaking, what seeds could you plant that will blossom out into something really worth while or even great?  The equinox is an opportunity to re-affirm our intention for creating peace by tapping into our heart coherence. That means, thinking, acting, feeling and coming from the heart. Choosing to live your life in a high vibratory state must involve doing your inner work. It has been said that in this high vibratory state, you have made it to the promised land of the 5D experience! How well can you keep this 5D experience going?

As a product of doing your inner work, you have effectively released the energetic weight of your traumas through healing and training. You overcome knee-jerk reactions, gaining greater control of your emotions.  Essentially, you run your mind rather than have it running you.  Maintaining balance is key. A balance between work and personal life, while bringing peace and harmony…  Consider this Buddhist statement,  “The source of suffering is desire.” Many people spend their time suffering over things they desire but cannot have, living their lives focused on the 5-sense, 3D material wants and desires. Even as adults they still have the child’s notion: “I want therefore I should have.” And when I don’t get it, I resent that… Acting the grown up and growing as a 5D heart-based individual means choosing to live a life based on “having what you have,” NOT “having what you don’t have.”

The equinox marks the triumph of light over darkness. It’s no coincidence that we see nature waking up. As nature starts to wake up again you too can bloom and blossom!  Utilizing the sun in conjunction with your internal heart light (inner light) is an opportunity for bringing in peace as you navigate the solar. Now’s the time to get in touch with your soul’s yearnings as new inspirations start to emerge. This is a time for meditation to reflect on your inner world to maintain peace and emotional balance. Maybe this is also a time to start a journal to write down:  *What areas could you develop more balance.  *Have you been putting off something that needs dealing with?  *What are your priorities? What are your intentions…?  *How committed are you to success? *What energies do you have that could be more aligned with your personal effectiveness…? Now’s the time to make a fresh start to plant those seeds (literal or metaphorical). Finally, when we make the conscious decision to connect ourselves with nature’s cycles, having the necessary level of awareness, we get a more profound understanding of our personal growth.
