The Root of Happiness

In the cen­ter of every human, and through­out every par­ti­cle of Cre­ation, in the heart of each and every ener­gy-form, is the root of one and all, the Divine Mon­ad. That is the “source” of you; it is the Spark of the Divine, the Root Ener­gy-Form that made and sus­tains Cre­ation. It is what we call Divine Love.

It is here that we find the source of our self-aware con­scious­ness, our indi­vid­u­al­i­ty. It is from the Mon­ad, from the Spark of the Divine, that is where the spe­cial­ness that each one of us is here “to be and to become” shines. It is our Song of Spir­it, the very Quin­tes­sence of us. It is the pro­tean force that dri­ves our Cre­ation, the call to Self-Realization.

Cre­ation is formed by a hier­ar­chy of hosts, formed by and into mul­ti­plic­i­ties of indi­vid­u­al­i­ties and com­mu­ni­ties of affil­i­a­tion, and each of them is shaped, guid­ed, and inspired by a unique spark of the Divine. The whole of Cre­ation is the jour­ney of innu­mer­able ones who are on the sacred path of “Self-Becom­ing by Self-Fulfillment”.

Yet we are equal­ly made by one anoth­er for one anoth­er too. Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty and Com­mu­ni­ty are woven through­out the fab­ric of the Uni­verse. As humans, we all wish to be “one of a kind”; but we also are made by our kinds, as we forge our unique­ness from the rich sources of the many groups, com­mu­ni­ties, and cul­tures of our human world.

Today we leave the realm of Capri­corn and enter the space of Aquar­ius. At this time of the year, and wher­ev­er Aquar­ius is to be found in your chart, it is there that you will reach beyond what was estab­lished and secured by your own efforts, and also by all those who came before you. Aquar­ius is the space where we dream of what might be, of who we might become, and how we shall cre­ate and make a bet­ter life for our­selves and for one anoth­er too.

Aquar­ius holds the dream of your future, that there are fin­er days ahead, with more gen­tle breezes and far hori­zons of hopes ful­filled. That one fine day we will live in kind­li­ness and good­ness shared between all peo­ple who know in their hearts that “we are what we are” because of our love for one another.

Aquar­ius brings you deep­er into the realm of your “vol­un­tary asso­ci­a­tions”, to your Fel­low­ships, to your Broth­er­hoods and Sis­ter­hoods, to your com­rades and com­pan­ions, for Aquar­ius is about the Truth that we are all made by and for one anoth­er. We sim­ply could nev­er be human with­out expe­ri­enc­ing the holis­tic truth, that we make one anoth­er by our shared expe­ri­ences. It is through one anoth­er that we form a more per­fect self for our­selves as we build our more per­fect com­mu­ni­ties of camaraderie.

Aquar­ius holds the para­dox­i­cal Truth, that we are One and we are the Many. Each one of us is a unique expres­sion of being human, yet we make our­selves from many groups or “kinds”. We are shaped by our com­bin­ing these var­i­ous kinds into the spe­cial human that we are, and we con­tribute our own sen­si­bil­i­ties and expe­ri­ences back into these var­i­ous asso­ci­a­tions. This dynam­ic and pro­tean cre­ation made by the weav­ing of the per­son­al and social, it is by this that “you devel­op you”, with a par­tic­u­lar per­son­al social con­scious­ness that is informed, shaped, and real­ized into a larg­er com­mu­ni­ty con­scious­ness. We are ones, formed and shaped into larg­er wholes that are a “one” as well; from indi­vid­ual, to fam­i­ly, to com­mu­ni­ty to cul­ture to the world of human­i­ty itself, we are all ones with­in oth­er ones that ulti­mate­ly are held in the One.

We expe­ri­ence our human­i­ty in Aquar­ius, of find­ing our spe­cial­ness that makes us dif­fer­ent from one anoth­er, but also find­ing and mak­ing what we have in com­mon too. At the core of what we com­mon­ly share, as Sparks of the Divine, is our dream of Self-Ful­fill­ment. This is what has been known and shared by all humans through­out the ages, and it holds the answer to the ancient ques­tion, “What will make me happy?”

Those who are wise under­stand that Hap­pi­ness is not a “thing”, it is not some­thing that you can pur­chase or an expe­ri­ence you can have. Hap­pi­ness is a “Qual­i­ty of Being” that is forged by expe­ri­enc­ing your most essen­tial nature, it is your expe­ri­ence of Self-Fulfillment.

Your hap­pi­ness comes from your own self-ful­fill­ment. But you can­not tru­ly expe­ri­ence this for your­self alone. Indeed, how could you? As you have been made by one anoth­er since the begin­ning of time, your hap­pi­ness is also part of one anoth­er too. Our true Hap­pi­ness is a social expe­ri­ence, where you see your friend’s joy in ful­fill­ment, and it brings a smile to your heart; and your laugh­ter and joy in self-real­iza­tion warms their heart as well. How can any of us be tru­ly hap­py if we have not done all that we can to make pos­si­ble the ful­fill­ment of one and all?

This is the promise and pur­pose of Aquar­ius. We are “one for all, and all for one”; we are here for one anoth­er and we are the means to one anoth­er’s self-ful­fill­ment and happiness.

Aquar­ius is about our love for one anoth­er and the joy we have when we strive to make pos­si­ble a bet­ter future for our­selves, and for those who fol­low us too.

Aquar­ius is the dream of a bet­ter world, a kinder more lov­ing world that will not come until we act as we are tru­ly meant to be.

We are made of love, and we are here to love one anoth­er too.

Yes, there is a New Age dawning,

And we will be that Dawn.
