Winter solstice
Winter solstice is the first day of winter and the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The Dark Night of the Spirit in the earth takes place during the weeks preceding and following winter solstice.
The ascended masters teach that everyone on earth receives a yearly final exam at summer and winter solstice. Lord Lanto warns us to prepare for the winter solstice exam. He says:
The Christmas season is particularly difficult because of records of ancient pagan rites and the world in merrymaking. What with the populace entering more into ... sensuality and the misuse of the sacred fire, surfeiting themselves in all manner of drugs and alcohol and sweets, it is a precarious time of the year for the devotee. Do not get caught in the vortex![1]
