Sun Enters Gemini (May 20, 2016)

Gemini2016

I am.

I am, That.

I am That…I am.

These are the first three steps that you will take in your life jour­ney as you unfold your divine nature into the ener­gy-form you know as “human”.

In Aries, you expe­ri­ence your­self pure­ly, as Sub­jec­tive­ly Aware…you just are.

In Tau­rus, you expe­ri­ence your­self sub­stan­tial­ly, as Objec­tive­ly Aware…you are also some-thing.

In Gem­i­ni, you expe­ri­ence your­self as the Self-Aware…you are the both sub­ject and object…you expe­ri­ence the essen­tial mys­tery of your self-becom­ing spir­i­tu­al con­scious­ness which is mov­ing through a hier­ar­chy of Ener­gy-Forms, mov­ing through the many realms of Space-Time. You begin your re-dis­cov­ery of the awe­some poten­tials wait­ing to be unfold­ed from with­in, wait­ing with­in your spir­i­tu­al spark of the Divine.

For you are Ener­gy (Spir­it-Con­scious­ness-Love) and you are also Form (a Hier­ar­chy of vehi­cles formed by you to exist on each of the planes of Mat­ter). You are essen­tial­ly, in your core a Mon­ad, a spark of the Divine, a being of Light mov­ing through Space-Time. Your spi­ral jour­ney, which is mir­rored on so many lev­els of being, from the struc­ture of atoms, to the cells in your body, to the very solar sys­tem you jour­ney with­in, (which is also spi­ral­ing through our galaxy, and even your very own Milky Way galaxy spi­ral­ing along with a host of oth­er galax­ies), all of these are the “wheels with­in wheels”, are the whirls and spi­rals of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it that are both the with­in and the with­out form­ing the “warp and weft” of Cre­ation, rang­ing from the inner­most and sub­lime planes to the out­er­most and dens­est planes of energy-forms.

Tru­ly, all of your jour­ney, from your “begin­ning” as an un-self-con­scious spark of the Divine to your even­tu­al Apoth­e­o­sis or Divin­i­ty made ful­ly man­i­fest, is part of the greater jour­ney of Spir­it through the infi­nite ranges of life-forms…For Cre­ation is tru­ly all of and about the Divine or the One, it is the Song of Spir­it shin­ing through the entire­ty of Cre­ation as the Involution/Evolution of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it as it becomes ever more encom­pass­ing and self-ful­filled. Cre­ation is the Divine made man­i­fest in and through all of you who form the Spir­it-Mind-Body of the One. For the great­est false­hood is sep­a­ra­tion, and the fun­da­men­tal Truth is that all life-forms are ones of the One, all are of the One, by the One and indeed form the One.

Through count­less eons of your pere­gri­na­tions in less­er realms and forms, your jour­ney was formed, shaped and guid­ed fun­da­men­tal­ly by the lev­el of the self-unfold­ment of your aware­ness. Even upon reach­ing this most spe­cial king­dom of the human, you still had eons to go before you would reach the most crit­i­cal cross­ing point, the por­tal of true Self-Aware-Consciousness.

The sto­ry is found in many teach­ings, cul­tures and ages, that long ago there walked amongst us “the gods”, who brought to the mind­less ones, the inno­cent but mind­less humans of that time the gift of self-aware­ness. In a pre­vi­ous cos­mic cycle, these Angels of the Light had sim­i­lar­ly been awak­ened by those who came before them, and this self-lumi­nous torch, this spir­i­tu­al fire of under­stand­ing was passed from one to anoth­er. Now it was their Karmic des­tiny and duty to pass on this light to us…Their names are found in many cul­tures, in the tales of Prometheus, Lucifer, Loki and Quet­zal­coatl and many, many oth­ers. In the most ancient of record­ings, found in what is known as the Ancient Teach­ings there is the sto­ry or truth about the Kumaras, beings of a much more advanced state than we, who came at the appoint­ed time, when the Human­i­ty of that peri­od was ready for the next step for­ward in Con­scious­ness, and they walked among us, joined with us and we took the next great step in our journey…we became self-aware.

This step was tak­en long ago, dur­ing an “Age of Gem­i­ni”, yet it is also a series of steps that you will take in each of your lives, and through many years in any one of your lives. For the jour­ney of Self-Aware­ness is won­drous and hard, it requires patience and quick­ness, adapt­abil­i­ty and per­sis­tence, it is the mind seek­ing to know, to know itself and all that is around it too…it is your jour­ney to the gods, and you have as far to go as you have already come.

You are here to learn, to learn to choose between the less­er and the greater, you are here to learn from “cause and effect” and to learn by tri­al and error what is “the good”. To serve the One, to serve Life and Beau­ty and to help one anoth­er, to Love one another…for this is “The Way”, and it is the one true path that will bring you home in the end. When you divide your­self from your­self or from one anoth­er, you will stum­ble and fall, as you have before. And you will have to pick your­self and try again. But this is how you grow, you learn to move away from pain, dark­ness and fear, as you learn what is bet­ter. You will choose to move toward the light, to dis­cov­er and be guid­ed by the truth that is with­in you as much as it sur­rounds you…and so you will choose to live a life of under­stand­ing, beau­ty and love.

Yes, in Gem­i­ni you rise into your self-aware­ness, into your Human­i­ty and towards your Divin­i­ty. In the Realm that is Gem­i­ni you are gift­ed by and rev­el in con­trast and con­tra­dic­tions. You ques­tion your­self and your world, you shine the light that is under­stand­ing upon your world and one another…and you smile and laugh and learn. For you real­ize that the whole of this Cre­ation is just like you, alive, aware…conscious. It is most pre­cious, aware and pre­co­cious as are you and all of your fel­low com­pan­ions. You are here for and because of one anoth­er, and your con­scious­ness depends upon your rela­tion­ships with one another…and this is “revealed” in your very thought-form­s/­words that you have for your under­stand­ing about your most pre­cious gift of self-aware­ness. Look at your lan­guage, your idea-forms that artic­u­late your “know­ing”. Take apart the word “Con­scious”:

Con = Together

Scious = Hav­ing Knowledge

Con­scious means “Togeth­er hav­ing knowl­edge” or “Togeth­er Knowing”…And so this means that “Con­scious­ness” real­ly means this, that the abil­i­ty to be aware of one­self and your sur­round­ings is not an “indi­vid­ual” func­tion at all, but it is tru­ly a reflection/affirmation that we are formed by one anoth­er, we are made of one anoth­er, and our self-devel­op­ment and ris­ing into our Divin­i­ty depends upon one anoth­er. We create/provide the very social expe­ri­ences that form the con­fir­ma­tions and cor­rec­tions to our know­ing about our­selves and equal­ly about the world around us. We need one anoth­er to know, to see what we can­not see with­out one another’s point of view.

It is as if each of us shines our own very bright light of per­cep­tion upon the world around us and we assume that we see what we see clearly…we know and under­stand. But that bright light also cre­ates very deep shad­ows, of what we fail to see or understand…and by def­i­n­i­tion, we do not know what we can­not see or under­stand. Even more, we can­not see if we do not believe or have faith to guide us towards the wis­dom which only comes from shar­ing, con­trast­ing, com­par­ing and accepting.

And so, we have one anoth­er, we have each oth­er in our lives to shine our light upon one anoth­er and remove the shad­ows, the doubts, mis­un­der­stand­ings and fears, we are here to do this for one another…and this is Love. It is by com­par­ing and con­trast­ing and illu­mi­nat­ing for one anoth­er that we slow­ly remove our self-made shad­ows, it is how we rise above our mis­un­der­stand­ings of prej­u­dice, doubt and fear. This is how we can slow­ly but sure­ly move towards the Greater Aware­ness, to a more com­plete con­scious­ness, free from shad­ow and free from fear. This jour­ney of Con­scious­ness that we make hap­pen for one anoth­er will even­tu­al­ly lead to our Great Awak­en­ing into our Divin­i­ty, into our Cos­mic Con­scious­ness that is to be our des­tiny many, many years from now.

Today, and every day, cel­e­brate your Jour­ney of Awakening.

You took a very great step long ago, and espe­cial­ly in this time of Gem­i­ni, (and yet also in that por­tion of Gem­i­ni that is in each and every one of you), you can take anoth­er step every day through the Por­tal of greater Self-Aware­ness, which is equal­ly and tru­ly a por­tal of shared or Col­lec­tive Understanding.

Be a light for one anoth­er, for you are here for this…

Lis­ten to one anoth­er, and seek to bring out from one anoth­er the essen­tial truth which is found with­in each and every one of you, for you are made by, for and of one another.

Resist the shad­owed fears of divi­sion, turn away from those who seek by false­hood to assign blame or divide you from each other.

Ques­tion your­self thoroughly…Begin each day, (and end it too) with self-reflec­tive moments where­in you seek to cor­rect your own errors of assump­tion and judgement.

Be thank­ful to those who ques­tion and chal­lenge you, for they are the mes­sen­gers who will make you wiser.

Help one anoth­er, and as you do this you will grow togeth­er in true wis­dom as you find that your growth in under­stand­ing of your­self and of one anoth­er will only be found, secured and extend­ed through Love, Accep­tance and Humility.

You are a being of Light.

Step out of the shadows…

And Shine!

Full Moon in Taurus – The Buddha Moon (April 22, 2016)

Scorpio-Full-Moon2016

You are a Pil­grim of Spir­it; You are a Hier­ar­chy of Energy-Forms,
Mov­ing through Worlds, Bod­ies and Lives, for you abide in each of the 7 sacred realms.
You are a Micro­cosm of the Macro­cosm, learn­ing to know yourself.
You are a Phys­i­cal being, and Ether­ic, and Astral too.
These inte­gral vehi­cles of Ener­gy-Forms con­tin­ue into your Low­er Mind,
Then through the High­er Men­tal guid­ed by your Intuitional.
Final­ly, all of these are, as is all of Cre­ation, made into one.
For you are guid­ed by, inspired by and loved by
Your spark of the Divine, Your Mon­ad, your High­er Self, your one of the One.

Yes, you are a Mon­ad of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it trav­el­ling through Space-Time.
Your ori­gins are as far beyond your remembering,
As your future is more glo­ri­ous than you may imagine.
You began as an unself-con­scious spark of the Divine, and
You will become in time a ful­ly con­scious Co-Cre­ator of Creation.

You will lift your­self and one anoth­er up, by learning,
For it is by choice, through tri­al and error, that you grow.
Being guid­ed by the one Immutable Law, of cause and effect, by Karma,
You will to learn to choose what is good and true, and to let go of the rest.
You will learn to know your­self, and so equal­ly know this Uni­verse too.
You will jour­ney with count­less oth­er life-forms,
Who just like you are on this sacred path of Self-Becoming,
Formed, Guid­ed and Inspired by the Self-Lumi­nous Hier­ar­chy of Love.

Your jour­ney is pre­cious, and so you will nev­er walk alone.
For many have come this way before you…and they wait.
They range from beings beyond imag­in­ing, whose nature is far removed
From these human tri­als and tribulations.
To those who work, in forms and beyond forms,
Tire­less­ly striving/serving to heal by love.
They wait for you, watch over you, care for you.
Though you must do “the work”, of lift­ing your veil of doubt and fear
And so come by your own self-becom­ing to the ever­last­ing Truth,
They do what they can to help, lift­ing spir­its, send­ing com­fort and hope.
And when need­ed, an emis­sary will come to remind one and all,
To show “the way”, to lead you back to the sacred path of a
Freer Mind, Uncon­di­tion­al Love and a Cen­tered Will.

Among all the count­less beings who have come this way before, today we cel­e­brate and hon­or one of our “own”. For today is the Day of the Bud­dha, today we bow our heads and hon­or the first of our Kind. For just as you must some­day too, the Bud­dha was the first, he is the “Self-Awak­ened One”. He threw off the shack­les of uncon­scious­ness to become a com­plete human…what is known in the Ancient Wis­dom as a Jivanmukta…a freed Monad.

He is no longer bound by the Law of Kar­ma, he has made his final choice…
And he chose to wait…he chose to wait for all of you. For this is the Way, this is the Truth…this is Love.
He stands now, at the por­tal of self-transcendence,
He will wait for each of you to make your way.
For this is the Great Sac­ri­fice, this is Sacred Love.
He waits for you to be ful­ly human,
He waits for you to be the Self-Awak­ened too.

We cel­e­brate the Bud­dha today because it is said the he was born at the Full Moon of Tau­rus, achieved enlight­en­ment at anoth­er Full Moon of Tau­rus, and final­ly left his phys­i­cal form at anoth­er. His expe­ri­ence and sto­ry illus­trates one of the fun­da­men­tal truths you must mas­ter, you are an Immor­tal mov­ing through Worlds, Forms and Lives that are mor­tal and impermanent.

Your prin­ci­ple pain aris­es from “attach­ment”, from the desire to con­tin­ue and hold to this or that “thing”, whether it be an object, an expe­ri­ence, a loved one, or even your very own life…you suf­fer because you have forgotten…You are an Immor­tal Spir­it mov­ing through these forms of man­i­fes­ta­tion, but none of these can hold you for­ev­er, noth­ing can or will last for­ev­er in these mor­tal realms. You are Spir­it, you are here to grow, and there is no “con­tain­er” that can ever be enough, there is noth­ing that can hold for­ev­er the Light-Truth-Love that abides with­in you.

What you must do, what you have always done, is to sim­ply walk on. You are here to be what you are, Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it thrilling through count­less forms of self-becom­ing, seek­ing, stretch­ing, and grow­ing for­ev­er and ever.

You should cel­e­brate each encounter with your world and with one anoth­er. Mar­vel at the Sun setting…but it will end. And so, you will turn and watch as your Star ris­es again at the dawn. When in the phys­i­cal, live in Beau­ty by mov­ing through Life by Love. Know that whether you are with some­one for a won­der­ful after­noon, or for many, many years of rich­ly lived lives…it too will end. And it will hurt, as it must, but you will come to know that this pain is the mir­rored reflec­tion of the joy you shared, and will con­tin­ue to share again and again too.

Cel­e­brate your Spir­it in Motion, mov­ing from form to form, grow­ing and becom­ing as you move ever clos­er to the moment of true free­dom and spir­i­tu­al grace. Freed from doubt, free of fear, you under­stand your destiny.

Today/tonight cel­e­bra­tions will held around the world, to hon­or one who came before us, but one who is just like you and me…The teach­ers do not come to start a reli­gion, that is for those who come after. The teach­ers do not come and say “pray to me”. Every true Teacher comes in order to quite pro­found­ly yet sim­ply say: “Do as I have done, fol­low the path that is with­in you, lis­ten to the whis­pers of your own High­er Self who is singing the same songs I have sung to you. Fol­low this path and you will be wel­comed home too.”

To all who seek, an answer will come.

To all who serve, a door will open.

Join with those who seek by serv­ing, in cel­e­bra­tion of the truth of your des­tiny and the exam­ple of the one who came before, and who waits until all have made their way home too. Hold the Great Invo­ca­tion in your Mind, Heart and Will as you repeat the promise made of a bet­ter world to be:

THE GREAT INVOCATION

From the point of light with­in the Mind of God

Let Light stream forth into our minds

Let LIGHT descend on Earth.

From the point of love with­in the Heart of God

Let Love stream forth into our hearts

May LOVE increase on Earth.

From the cen­ter where the Will of God is known

Let pur­pose guide our wills

The PURPOSE which the mas­ters know and serve.

From the cen­ter which we call Humanity

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out

And may it seal the door

where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Pow­er restore the Plan on Earth.

Sun Enters Taurus (April 19, 2016)

Taurus-2016

Your year­ly jour­ney with and through the Cir­cle of the Liv­ing Ones, what is com­mon­ly known as the Zodi­ac, departs from Aries, the First Realm of Fire. It is time for you and your world to move into this sec­ond act of the Sacred Twelve, it is time to abide in the First Realm of Earth, it is time to come home to Taurus.

This is the heart­beat of Spir­it, “Fire-Earth-Air-Water”, and after each sojourn in the space-time of Fire, (which is the realm of Visions, Ideals, Enthu­si­asms and Dreams), it is nec­es­sary to bring these plans of poten­tial “down to Earth”, it is time to see if these “Gifts of the Spir­it” can become Real and Substantial.

What you will face now is this chal­lenge: Will you be able to take the Inspi­ra­tion you found as you moved through the realm of Aries and make it come “to be”. For in Fire your soul/spirit is filled by this Intu­ition­al Truth: that you are a Divine Spark, and in essence, as a Spir­i­tu­al Mon­ad, you are “one of the ones of the One”, and so your sacred heart cen­ter is tru­ly the Foun­tain-Source of the “Infini­ties of Poten­tial­i­ty”. You are des­tined to become a ful­ly self-con­scious, Dream­ing-Mak­er Co-Cre­ator of Creation.

But the ques­tion is, can you take your Idea/Ideal and fash­ion “some-thing”, can you form your­self and your world into mean­ing­ful real­iza­tions and pur­pose­ful­ness today? The ques­tion is, can you bring your Ide­al into Being, can you breath upon the “Waters of What-Might-Be” and be a “Mak­er of Value”?

The First ques­tion of Aries is: Who are you?

The Sec­ond ques­tion of Tau­rus is: What are you?

You are brought by Aries to real­ize that you are a unique instance of the one Divine Spir­it. You are a spark of the Divine, a mon­ad trav­el­ling through Worlds, Forms and Lives as you unfold your­self by Imma­nence, by the sacred path of “Self-Becom­ing”. You grad­u­al­ly ascend from unself-con­scious spark of the Divine, and through many, many, many lives you will even­tu­al­ly become a self-ful­filled human: endowed with Cos­mic Con­scious­ness, Uncon­di­tion­al Love and a Cen­tered Spir­i­tu­al Will.

In Earth, and here by Tau­rus, you will make many “things”. You will pour your­self into count­less forms, objects and activ­i­ties, into phys­i­cal-emo­tion­al-social-cul­tur­al-spir­i­tu­al vehi­cles of Self-Realization…but the most impor­tant “thing” you will ever fashion…well that is you.

The real ques­tion will for­ev­er be, (as you will at many times doubt or feel your­self to be “unwor­thy”): What is the val­ue of you?

And the real or ulti­mate answer or truth will for­ev­er and ever be: Your val­ue is beyond measure…for you are priceless.

Why? Because beyond any forms of self-real­iza­tion, beyond all the phys­i­cal cre­ations you have fash­ioned, and into which you poured some mea­sure of the val­ue that is you, (and by this you cre­at­ed and bestowed your val­ue into “some-thing”)….beyond and behind all these things you make as a cre­ator, there abides in you this truth. You are one with the One Spir­it, a Spark of the Divine, which is the true source and mak­er of all val­ue, the foun­tain-source for all these worlds. Above all and any oth­er val­ue of you there will always be the Ulti­mate source of Beau­ty, Val­ue and Cre­ation… behind it all there is quite won­der­ful­ly and sim­ply Love.

You are one of the ones of the One…and your truth worth and val­ue is beyond all reck­on­ing. You have not even as yet begun to com­pre­hend how far you have come nor how far you will yet trav­el as you ful­fill your des­tiny to be the Dream­ing-Mak­ing-Cre­ator. You will pass through many Worlds, Forms and Lives…but these are not who or what you are.

You came from the stars…

You are des­tined to become a star…and then to go beyond.

And behind it all there is but one Force, one Truth, one Value…

Love.

Podcast—2016 Forecast–Part Four

Jupiter-and-Saturn-2016

Podcast—2016, Part Four

Jupiter Square Saturn

Today we con­sid­er anoth­er of the sig­na­ture align­ments for 2016, Jupiter Square Saturn.

The syn­od­i­cal cycle (from one con­junc­tion to the next con­junc­tion) of Jupiter and Sat­urn is 20 years long. Their rela­tion­ship artic­u­lates the vary­ing inte­gra­tions of our under­stand­ings, (Philoso­phies, Sci­ences, Reli­gions) with our sub­stan­tial real­iza­tions of our Ideas into the “real” or phys­i­cal world, (Insti­tu­tions, Busi­ness­es, Gov­ern­ments, and quite lit­er­al­ly our “way of life”).

When Jupiter and Sat­urn are form­ing align­ments that are more har­mo­nious, what is Real and how we Under­stand it are in greater agree­ment. And when they are in a peri­od char­ac­ter­ized with more ten­sion between them either our mean­ings or our real­i­ty (or both) do not add up or make sense/or func­tion as they should. It is at such times that we either have to refine our under­stand­ing and/or make adap­tive changes to our struc­tures so that we can bet­ter meet our needs and live a life of beau­ty, har­mo­ny and peace.

Today’s pod­cast con­cerns the Jupiter/Saturn align­ment from August 2015 through May 2016, which is formed by their wan­ing square, and this is their last major aspect before they meet in a his­toric con­junc­tion dur­ing 2020. This align­ment we are fac­ing now is a pre­cur­sor and prepa­ra­tion for that major shift in 2020. What might that shift entail?

We can also under­stand the Jupiter/Saturn cycle as being orga­nized into a larg­er series of repeat­ed con­junc­tions that occur in the same ele­ment (Fire, Earth, Air and Water) over a peri­od of about 180 to 200 years. Most recent­ly we have been expe­ri­enc­ing their con­junc­tions in Earth since 1842, but in 2020 they will begin a new series in the ele­ment of Air (until 2219). These series of con­junc­tions in a par­tic­u­lar ele­ment con­tribute to defin­ing a peri­od Spir­i­tu­al­ly (and Cul­tur­al­ly, Eco­nom­i­cal­ly and Polit­i­cal­ly). For exam­ple, the pre­vi­ous Water peri­od (1425–1663) could be called an “Age of Faith”, and the fol­low­ing Fire peri­od (1663–1842) an “Age of Explo­rations”, and our Earth peri­od (1842–2020) an “Age of Mate­ri­al­iza­tion”. What will arrive in 2020 is an Age of Air, or what we might call an “Age of Ide­al­iza­tion” or an “Age of Etherealization”.

Here is a list of the pre­vi­ous Great Muta­tions of Jupiter and Sat­urn, which can help us to under­stand what we are being formed by with regards to the pre­vail­ing  greater con­text of mean­ing in each his­tor­i­cal period:
Water 1425–1663 (Age of Faith), pri­or 690–868, 165BC-74AD, 960BC-781BC

Fire    1663–1842 (Age of Explo­ration), pri­or 868‑1047, 74AD-253, 781BC-582BC

Earth 1842–2020 (Age of Man­i­fes­ta­tion), pri­or 1047–1226, 253–452, 582BC-384BC

Air     2020–2219 (Age of Ide­al­iza­tion), pri­or 1226–1425, 452–690, 384BC-165BC

 

So, this year’s wan­ing square is the final shift/release before a new 200 year cycle com­mences. We are not only fac­ing a turn­ing point regard­ing what we have made of our Beliefs/Realities since 2000, but in some fash­ion we are also fac­ing the final karmic adjust­ment of what has been our the­mat­ic par­a­digm since 1842!

This final and Wan­ing Square of Jupiter to Sat­urn is informed by their respec­tive sign posi­tions, Vir­go for Jupiter and Sagit­tar­ius for Sat­urn, or between the realms of Earth and Fire. The wan­ing square requires that each one of us indi­vid­u­al­ly, and also col­lec­tive­ly, take this oppor­tu­ni­ty to “let go” or “rise above” both the thought-forms (or ideas) and formed-thoughts (or real­i­ties) in order to grow. Giv­en what was revealed at their last oppo­si­tion in 2010-11 ( with ref­er­ence back to the ori­gin point of 2000 and the wax­ing square of choic­es 2005-06), we now are asked to rise above our more lim­it­ed under­stand­ing of not only our time, but what has been cen­tral or core mean­ings and lessons we have come through since 1842.

For myself, I believe that one of our major lessons (or awak­en­ings) that has been re-dis­cov­ered dur­ing this peri­od, (and has espe­cial­ly been brought to a fin­er point by our Envi­ron­men­tal, Eco­nom­ic, Polit­i­cal and Cul­tur­al crises) is that we have re-dis­cov­ered the truth with regards to our mate­r­i­al exis­tence: “More does not equal More”.

We most cer­tain­ly have cre­at­ed vast wealth (for a few), and more for many oth­ers since the 1840’s. But we have done so through “Cre­ative Destruc­tion”, as our rela­tion­ship to our home plan­et became one of “tak­ing” rather than “tak­ing care”. Our time-frames became imme­di­ate and urgent, and we for­got that the con­se­quences of our actions would be expe­ri­enced by those who came long after us…and they will cer­tain­ly cast a shad­owed view back upon us as they won­der, “what were they think­ing, why did they not care?”

Quan­ti­ty does not equal Qual­i­ty, and we are expe­ri­enc­ing the need to reestab­lish our lives in the Way of Beau­ty, to find our joy by liv­ing in a greater har­mo­ny and bal­ance with one anoth­er and with our plan­et. Though there was a great expan­sion of mate­r­i­al well-being for the past 200 years, the true costs were not fac­tored into the “Ledger Book of Life”. As much as there was great cre­ation of phys­i­cal arti­facts, there was arguably equal or greater destruc­tion too of the phys­i­cal, emo­tion­al, men­tal and spir­i­tu­al realms on Earth as well.

For the future, for the Age of Air that begins in 2020, what might we find? There will be the enjoy­ment of expe­ri­enc­ing life more sim­ply, of hav­ing less “things” to come between one anoth­er. We will need to adopt a sim­pler, yet more spir­i­tu­al lifestyle and re-inte­grate our lives with the life of Moth­er Earth. We will get back to “Liv­ing in the Light”, for our des­tiny is to be con­scious co-cre­ators on this plan­et. Now that we under­stand more tru­ly the com­plex web of Life-Con­scious­ness-Spir­it that is life on Earth, we must pro­tect and sup­port these very lives we depend upon for our very own survival.

We are here to be the Dreamer-Makers…

Let us fol­low the Ancient Wisdom…

Walk in Beau­ty, Live in Beauty…

Love one another.
