Blowin’ in the Wind
We live in a world of information. The simplest of products now has tiny grey or whitish writing on it that someone my age can only read with a magnifying glass and bright light. It obviously is not meant to be read but is required to be there by law.
The world religions are ensconced in dogma and writings that proliferate to describe someone’s interpretation of what someone else has written long ago.
Our societal laws have become so complex that volumes line walls for reference points. No one person, be it scholar or lawyer, can possibly know what is there.
And now we have the internet. You can search on the world-wide-web for information on just about anything. Much of this was inaccessible 30 years ago.
What effect is this having upon our expanding human consciousness? How much Truth is there amidst the bits n’ pieces that infiltrate our thoughts day and night?
The current climate is one of Revelation and Review. Solar flares are bombarding our planetary world bringing new light codes that stimulate our brains. Astrologically, we have many retrograde planets looming across our cosmic horizons. The solar calendar year is racing to its halfway point as our planet travels around its elliptic journey.
What have we learnt? What new knowledge is now emerging from its cave? What wisdom can we glean from past experiences in this worldly experience of ‘whoops and ouch’?
There is a stage upon the evolving soul’s journey that calls for discernment and discrimination. This assumes an acceptance of free will and choice. In a world of such diversity, these are essential skills.
Four Corners this week revealed the Western countries (including Australia?) legalisation of torture as a means of ‘gaining information’. This will be news to some people, but not to those who have already been subject to such practices – in many cultures across the globe.
And what of the information we need and want and to which we are denied access? Freedom-of-Information Acts have their exception clauses. Much that we need to know is ‘classified’ for the sake of – whom or what? People are daily charged with offences of withholding information and/or failure to disclose. Politicians mislead Parliament.
And human nature seems to be naturally dishonest: to lie, deceive, cover our tracks or make excuses. So much so, that if we do manage to activate the 9th chakra (magenta frequency), our personalities, lifestyles, relationships and ways of interfacing with the world undergo massive transformation. In fact, it is very, very difficult to function in the civilisations we have created and be honest and transparent.
A local example: The Dalai Lama is visiting Australia at present. Our Prime Minister has made the choice to satiate local Chinese population in his own electorate. He is ‘too busy’ to meet the Dalai Lama. Would this be so if the Pope were to visit? In this simple action one man reveals his motivations, intentions and priorities. It is his free will and his freedom of choice in a world of diversity. Fair enough.
This spiritual Teacher’s information centres round the themes of kindness and compassion, of being helpful in practical ways to each other and to sustain the world. One can see that these teachings do not really fit with legislation for torture, do they? Or with brutal exploitation of the earth’s resources for greedy profit mongering.
I may seem angry to some readers. I am. I have been taught and have listened, to the teachings of our blessed Lord, to ‘forgive them, for they know what they do’. Fair enough. But I feel so much pain then, when I know that others DO know, what they do. Yet still, they chose to do it. And this is where notions of acceptance and compassion help me. That’s my choice. It ain’t easy, though – which is why this loving man is travelling the world to nurture these qualities in us confused and disillusioned people. I thank the heavens for his presence here.
Yes, information is Light, for it shines into the murkiness of ignorance, denial, pretence and naivety. What we do with what we see is expressed in our behaviour and our actions. The astrological unfolding of the cosmic clocks seems to indicate that we really won’t know WHAT to do with what is revealed until Saturn and the Sun enter Virgo in September. Until then, recording of one’s personal insights, sharing of knowledge and information, playing ping pong with ideas, is the way to go.
The days from now until the New Moon in Gemini, (next Friday 15th in Ozland), will continue to be stimulating and perhaps inflaming, of the mind and heart as Fiery energies rage.
It is a time to ask a LOT of questions – of the world, of events, of past experiences, of each other and yes, of one’s own soul.
“The answers, my friend, are blowin’ in the wind…”
It is a time to ask, intuitively, of one’s own source. It is a good time to reach for books and references that one feels guided towards.
It is a time of revelation which follows on from the Taurean illumination. Precious beliefs and mindsets are being scattered in the tornadoes and hurricanes of cosmic streams pouring forth from the centre of our Galaxy.
Here in Australia, the air is surprisingly still. It is as if the earth itself is holding her breath and waiting, watching…
Breathe.
Blessings.
