Happy Astrological New Year!
You and your Earth have come around once more…
Through Twelve Mansions of Spiritual Energy.
You have walked The Circle of Life that is your Becoming.
Through Four Rays of Being, by Fire-Earth-Air-Water,
In Three Ways of Moving, of Cardinal-Fixed-Mutable,
By these Four and Three, Spirit ever weaves the meanings of your Journey.
By these Twelve Ways, in these Twelve Lessons, and from these Twelve Truths,
You will Find and Fulfill yourself.
These are your Songs of Spirit, these the Dances of your Life.
Today marks a New Beginning…
A New Season of Life is here.
You and Nature poised and balanced,
Between Energy and Matter, between Spirit and Form.
It is the Tipping Point of the Divine, and you are at
The Razor’s Edge between the Darkness and the Light.
Aries is here and your new Dawn of Days is full of the Promise of Joyful Beginnings…But before you can sally forth, before you set off upon your New Adventures, chasing your Dreams, Singing your Songs and Loving with all your Heart…Before you can do that, or anything whatsoever, you must stand before the Mirror of Meaning. You need to look beyond the forms and veils and see exactly what it is that looks back upon you from in there.
Here in the Mansion of Aries, in the First House of Spirit, you must answer the Perennial Primal Question…Do you know what and who you are? What do you see there looking back at you? Is it just a vehicle of flesh and bones, a collection of elements and compounds, fired by electro-chemical impulses that energize these earthy materials to produce a sensation of “living matter”, the bones-muscles-organs being pulled and pushed by transient feelings and thought-forms? Is that what you are?
Look more deeply, beyond this vehicle of illusion, beyond the Veil of Earth that you required and took up as a cloak to wear while in this Realm of Matter. Look beyond yourself, look beyond any life-form or object, beyond the smallest mote or the grandest of galaxies…and what will you find? Open your Heart, listen to the Voice of the Silence, what is there?
It is Spirit, the Spark of the Divine, the Jewel in the Lotus…That is what you will find, that is what you feel, that is what you will know. You will sense the Wonder and Love at the heart of Creation. That there at the Heart of you and of all of Creation is “The Presence”, the Awareness that is Father-Mother, that behind and at the uttermost core of every and all there is quite simply ONE.
There is no name, it is far beyond words or understanding, you perceive the Mystery that is there, for THAT is there…and you need to bow your head and acknowledge the Truth, I am THAT. I am the Presence and that what is within me and in all of Creation is this ONE. And so you will know, for it must surely be, that from the beginning, and through all Forms, Lives, Worlds and Times, all is of this ONE and this ONE is all, and you and all are held by this ONE in LOVE…that is who you are.
And so from this Center of Creation, being one of the ones of the ONE, you have sallied forth on your Journey of Becoming. A Spark of the Divine, moving from form to form, life to life, world to world as you unfold from within your Divinity and so lift your awareness by Trial and Error, by Learning to Choose to Be what is Right and Good, as you unfold from unselfconsciousness to Cosmic Consciousness and Co-Creator with your fellow companions in the Light.
Who are you? You are your own Creation, you are your Karma. By your thoughts and deeds, your Successes and Triumphs, your Sins of Omission and Commission, what you are here today is what you have made of yourself over countless lives and through innumerable worlds. You are ancient and yet you are still as a child learning how to play in these Fields of Fantasy. You are a Co-Creator in the making, learning to grasp the simple but profound truth that you have made you what you are, and now you are making what you are to become.
And so now you need to face this brand new Day, this precious New Year, this gift of Life…and what will you do, what will you become? What Dreams will you follow, what seeds will you sow, what paths will be blazed, how far will you reach…or will you stumble and fall?
What matters now is but one thing…Intention. First Things First, all else will follow. If you understand, if even but a little bit, the import and arc of your story, then you should know that it all comes down to this. For in each first step, in every Dream or Thought or Feeling or Action that you Create, in that moment of the Alpha is held Omega too. What you sow you will reap, what you give you shall receive, the Law of the Universe is perfect and true, it is your Salvation and Hope.
When you turn any corner, when you enter any space whatsoever, what did you bring to it? What effect did you have upon your world? Did you bring soothing to those who were troubled, did you bring understanding to those who could not see, did you offer Love to those who felt lost?
Each moment counts, every thought, feeling and action will resound and reverberate in the Chorus of Karma…but first things matter most of all.
How will you begin today? How will you begin your year?
You have the Power to change yourself,
You have the responsibility to heal your World.
For you have made you, and you have made this World too.
Begin with Right Intention…
Begin with Right Thinking, Right Feeling and Right Action.
Be Serious and Playful,
Be Wise and Forgiving,
Be Joyous and Grateful,
But above all…
Be Loving and Kind to one and all.
Be who you really are.
