Earth Abides
We can enjoy the clear night sky of a New Moon in Taurus for deep ponderance upon the materialism that has swamped our consciousness for too long.
This is the mid point of the Shamballa cycle. The downloading of the Buddhic and Christ energy is at its rest point. The encoding of Light is a slow and careful process. It is not a saturating and overwhelming epiphany. Rather, it is careful and thoughtful experience whereby that which is appropriate for each of us personally, may filter into our everyday consciousness in the subtle ways: through dreams, glimpses, sensing, perhaps the flutter of an idea.
Like the flowers in the photo, we are growing a new way of being upon the old material consciousness that has blocked our spirits and drained our own energies and the earth’s resources.
This is the time to feeeel the ability to grow anew, in more naturally beautiful and sentient forms. The mystery of life is there for us to know. The current preoccupation with manifestation, prosperity, having what we want – the modern packaging of The Secret – is a distraction for it ties us back into the loop that denies the essence of Life itself. Nurturance of Life and embracing of the Life force will bring back the bees. Increasing personal wealth for few at the expense of the many, will not.
Politicians have been preoccupied with what will sustain their power base and what will maintain control of the economy and societies. They too, will indeed begin anew, seeking instead the Path of knowing, of Wisdom, of the nurturance of Life and usefulness.
Soldiers will be too busy assisting in the caring of people to be preoccupied with destruction of civilisations, cultures, creeds and humans that are not their concern.
And we the People? A local shopkeeper suggests that we all go on strike at the next election and refuse to vote at all, for the social system as it is does NOT serve us, our children or even our current lifestyles. We laughed at the ridiculous notion of party politics artificially divided between Liberal (business) and Labour (the workers). Should he vote one way, and his staff the other? It is indeed time for round table politics, for bi-partisan and concerted cooperative efforts to find and implement solutions that are constructive and nurturing of life, of people, of our very earth itself.
Now is the time to jot down those flickers of insights, those wisps of ideas, those slowly growing realisations.
By the Full Moon on June 1st, ALL of humanity will be showered upon and shall be growing anew.
