The New
Millennium:
Or Bloomsday?
Friends,
A clear sense of the spirit defining a decade often manifests in its latter half. The 1960s didn't fully achieve their tumultuous quintessence of free love, pop music revolution, hippies, psychotropic drugs, eastern gurus, civil rights protests nor gain the full measure of its tone of social experimentation and upheaval until after 1965. Forty years later the "00" decade has taken its time revving up to its place in history. It will come out of the gates in 2006 defining itself as the "uh-oh!" decade.
I highly recommend this book and it's detailed theory
how history, like nature, has its repetitive seasons. In brief summary,
let's look back at the last cycle in American history. The previous
Fourth Turning came during the late 1920s with the Stock Market Crash
and a decade long global depression. The latter perpetuated a climate
of chaos and economic disasters that aided the rise of Fascism, the
attack on Pearl Harbor and eventually climaxed with America entering
and ultimately winning Second World War.
Rallying to the crisis gave birth to a new 80 year cycle in what Strauss
and Howe call The First Turning: the American High (1946-1964). It
was an era marked by America's confident expansion as the leader and
pioneer of a new world order in all forms of art, technology economics
and politics.
The Second Turning (1964-1984) was defined by the authors as "an
Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the
now-established order." Interest in alternative medicine, Eastern
religions, and rebellion against the government (Vietnam, Watergate,
etc.) erupted during this time.
The Third Turning from 1984 through 2005 is called the Unraveling.
It is marked by growing malaise in the people, the spread of government
incompetence, and a deepening division of the nation in cultural wars
between liberal and conservative, evangelicals and secularists. Strauss
and Howe describe it as "an increasingly trouble era in which
individualism [I would add selfish-ism, or the meanness of me-ness]
triumphs over crumbling institutions."
New Year's Day 2006 brings us to the Fourth Turning--a new twenty-year
era of crisis and calls for renewal lasting to the mid-2020s.
Strauss and Howe, in 1997, introduced a set of scenarios extrapolated
from their understanding of Unraveling-era trends for the dawn of
the current Fourth Turning. I present some of them in a much abbreviated
form below:
*
1.) Fiscal crisis, tax rebellions and demands for a
new Constitutional Convention.
2.) A global terrorist group blows up an aircraft and says they possess
weapons of mass destruction.
3.) The US launches a preemptive strike. Terrorists threaten to blow
up an American city.
4.) War is declared and in the name of homeland security many personal
freedoms of Americans are threatened. Many opponents charge, and I
quote, "That the president concocted the emergency for political
purposes."
5.) Whether rumor or fact, this accusation leads to a nation wide
strike and foreign capital flees the US.
6.) An economic and constitutional crisis ensues. The president declares
emergency powers rescinded by Congress.
7.) A new communicable virus spreads adding to the anarchy and lawlessness
across the nation.
8.) The people demand the president declare martial law. Meanwhile,
anarchy in former Soviet republics leads to a crisis between the US
and Russia. Iran allies itself with Russia. "Gold and oil prices
soar. Congress debates restoring the draft."
*
Some of this may sound familiar. Some of it has already
happened, although not exactly in the same sequence described by their
forecast eight years before.
The current Bush administration has attempted tax reform with mixed
and politically partisan results. The global terrorist group, al-Qaeda
exploded planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. Al-Qaeda
sought weapons of mass destruction, so far without success. America
did launch a preemptive war against Iraq on the suspicion that its
strong man, Saddam Hussein, did possess an arsenal and was about to
use it on the US. The threat of a mushroom cloud destroying an American
city didn't come from a terrorist, but from those in the G.W. Bush
administration arguing for a rush to war.
The US Patriot Act used to flush out terrorist cells inside the country
has many Americans concerned that their privacy and freedoms are being
sacrificed. The year 2005 ends with yet another new scandal besetting
the US president over charges of an illegal use of wire taps. Conspiracy
theories thrive in an atmosphere of growing suspicion and doubt. A
wild belief gathers strength even among the mainstream Americans that
the president and the neo-Con movement exploited 9/11 and went to
war in Iraq to advance their global, political agendas.
The US economy though slowing down in growth still ranks as the most
powerful on earth, yet there are worrying signs that a reckoning is
coming. Wealth is increasing for the economy at a record rate, but
fewer Americans are sharing in the bounty. The middle class shrinks.
CEOs undermine its future by out-sourcing jobs. The symptoms of The
Unraveling are in full swing in the first five years of the new century.
The president and congress seem unable to solve problems. They squander
the public fund throwing money by the hundreds of billions on a string
of failures such as nation building abroad in occupied Iraq. At home,
FEMA is a pathetic nation rebuilder in places like New Orleans and
the Mississippi coastline ravaged by Hurricanes Katrina, and Rita.
There is a new virus on the horizon, as Strauss and Howe predicted.
But Avian Flu, fortunately, has not spread its contagion to humans
just yet. Nevertheless, their scenario about Russia and former states
of the Soviet Union falling into anarchy has not happened. Iran has
not sent an economic earthquake through the global oil economy by
allying to Russia.
Not yet at least, though 2006 may see Iran send a similar shock through
the oil marketsbecause of a new conflict in the Middle East.
We hear more calls for constitutional reform, new amendments to the
Bill of Rights, election reform, etc., but a full blown constitutional
crisis still seems like a distant nightmare for most. Back in the
1970s, the late Chicago psychic, Irene Hughes, predicted a new Constitution
for America as late as the mid-2020s. I doubt Strauss and Howe are
aware of her prediction but it coincides with their forecasted end
of the current Fourth Turning in 2025.
Draft and rumors of military draft abound though. I do not see it
happening in 2006.
Now let's move forward from the extrapolation of futurologists to
the realm of divination.
Though I agree with most of the work of Strauss and Howe, my territory
of prophetic study also includes more paranormal "research"
into the shapes of things to come in 2006 and beyond.
The two gentlemen like to call this "00" decade the "Oh-Oh"
decade. I would augment this term slightly and define our times as
the "Uh-Oh!" decade from 2005 onwards. The first five years
of "00" saw us pass through the phase of "Oh"
look at this, "Oh" look at that potential danger lurking
on the future's horizon. One can draw parallels to future gazers in
the 1920s who had foreboding "Oh-Ohs!" of their own, such
as signs on the horizon of economic crisis, Fascism, Japanese Imperial
expansion and the rise of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany.
Think of times like 1936 when you look at the future of 2006. The
danger of world crisis and war was clear to those not in denial of
it. Perhaps times in 2006 will be more than foreboding. With the new
year, and by the end of March, we start the rapid descent into crises
that no longer loom on the horizon but beset us.
The Oh! Oh! decade now becomes "Uh Oh!" The danger is no
longer far away. It has arrived. So has the time to positively rally
in response to crisis.
THE PREDICTIONS FOR 2006
Let us begin from the earth and the seas. The prediction I published back in 1998 was on the mark when it came to New Orleans:
"The destruction of a major southern US metropolitan area, such as Miami or New Orleans, by a global warming enhanced superhurricane will take place in one of the first five hurricane seasons of the new millennium."
1000 for 2000: Startling Predictions for the New Millennium, p. 16
Four months have passed since Hurricane Katrina destroyed New Orleans
and the Mississippi coast. Except for the French Quarter and the Garden
District most of New Orleans at night is an unlit and fetid ghost
town. It is now expected that by next Mardi Gras celebration less
than a third of the half-million former citizens will be living in
"the Big Easy."
Many in the news and mainstream leadership of America openly question
whether New Orleans will ever recover from the damage. Luckily my
prophecy had suffered a near miss for Miami. It survived the unexpectedly
strong visitation of Hurricane Wilma at the end of the 2005 Hurricane
season, even though the damage across Northern Miami and the central
east coast of Florida was extensive. Much of it lies unrepaired.
This is only the end of the beginning.
I wasn't implying in my 1998 prediction that what could destroy New
Orleans or Miami was some random disaster. It marks the beginning
of an annual ordeal with hurricane disasters lasting for decades.
As far back as 1994, in The Millennium Book of
Prophecy I warned that hurricanes, tornadoes, warmer and rising
oceans can take down the American superpower. Terrorists are not the
primary danger to the homeland security of this nation.
Global warming can be controlled and America will survive as a great
nation if it leads the way in a campaign to reduce fossil fuel emissions
from 2006 through 2030 by 60 percent.
However, I predict Americans will not rise to the occasion just yet.
More frequent thrashings from the real King of Terror--Hurricanes
hyper charged by global warming--may be necessary.
I predict there will be threats to Miami, what's left of New Orleans
and other southeastern cities along the US coast at least once or
twice ever year for the next 30 years. The current president will
continue to shirk the challenge to stop auto and industrial pollution's
part in exacerbating the coming era of tropical storms. It will be
left to the next president elected in 2008 to begin the long a arduous
process that could fulfill a prophecy I logged in 1998:
"The leveling of a major U.S. city by globally warmed storms will galvanize the American people to bring their resources together to fight global warming, as Americans fifty years earlier united to fight Hitler and Japan during World War II."
1000 for 2000: Startling Predictions for the New Millennium, p. 18
What of America's economic future in 2006?
Ben Bernanke--Alan Greenspan's successor as Chairman of the Federal
Reserve--will become the great Inflator. Be warned. This is the man
who said, "The US government has a technology, called a printing
press--or, today, its electronic equivalent--that allows it to produce
as many US dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost."
The Bush administration that throws money at problems today will print
more money--made more worthless--to throw at problems in 2006 when
their representative at the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) becomes
the successor to the Federal Reserve Chairman, Alan Greenspan.
America will become an even greater Debtor nation under Bernanke's
watch. His four-year tenure will see the US dollar end its domination
as the world's premier reserve currency. Russia, China, and Japan
will sell off their dollar reserves at a record breaking pace. As
early as sometime in the next presidential term, the US "top"
dollar might descend to third as a secure global currency.
Now to something a little birdie told me...
Strains of Avian Flu will be discovered in American poultry in 2006.
The press will make a huge Donald-duckian freak out about it. Perhaps
the White House will fuss and feather it too as a means to inject
more fear and distraction from the coming scandals and wars.
Don't be taken in by any of it, unless you run cock fights or don't
properly protect yourself as a laborer in the poultry business.
The mutation of Bird Flu into a form spread by human to human contact
is not coming for 2006.
There are signs that a successful use of prophecy as an agent of prevention
greatly modifies the effects of the Avian Flu when it comes. We have
already seen the apocalyptic warnings of seers goad mainstream science
and technology to prevent the potential of a computer Millennium Bug
shutting down the cyber and electrical grid of the world in 2000.
Bird Flu as a pandemic is coming. However, my "oracle" is
happy to report that by the time it arrives in the human sneeze closest
to you (no sooner than 2008) the ability may exist to vaccinate all
of Europe and North America against it. The longer the Bird Flu delays
fluttering down into human kind, the better will be the chances that
developing nations will also avert its worst effects. There could
come in time a new vaccine regimen that will make a shot of bird flu
anti-virus serum one cell at a time, rather than one cumbersome egg
at a time in inadequate numbers stored in vast warehouses.
From birds we look to the stars and seek to understand the defining
astrological force influencing the new year 2006.
Saturn began its transit of the constellation Leo back in July 2005.
The new year will see this symbol of the Grim Reaper for some, the
Reality-revealer to others, exert greater effect primarily on the
Cancerian born country and president of America.
Saturn will pass through Leo in a square aspect with Jupiter in Scorpio.
Scorpio is the sign calculated as the ascendant in many versions of
the United States birth chart.* It will be a time to question, to
rise up, a time for those seeking wisdom to rebel against rigid dogma,
be it political or religiously inclined.
*For a good overview of all the versions
of the US Birth Chart, Click HERE)
Staying the course on any dysfunctional path will lead to harsh karmic
realities and crises for the country and its leaders in 2006.
What I said about the latter-half of 2005, in my last New
Year prophecy report will be magnified this year. It will not
be a time to hold onto old and habitual ways and resist adapting new
ideas to meet the challenges of a new era. A leader or people not
heeding Saturn's transit through the next 23 degrees of Leo will face
the coming challenges looking backwards. They will become more bellicose
rather than diplomatic, more self-righteous and dismissive when criticized.
They will seek to end wars in 2006 only to widen them because they
will be stubbornly blind to their part, their unconscious contribution,
to the problems of the world. They will be closed when they should
be open, wax dictatorial when they ought to conciliate.
They will ignore the frustration of the people. They will beat and
tear-gas the protesters in the streets. Saturn in Leo dispenses a
reality that all Americans must now face and creatively transform:
We are a very angry nation that has elected into power a very angry
administration. What travails will we face before this anger in nation
and leader alike can become true compassion?
There's more time left in G.W. Bush's presidency than JFK had in his
entire term. That's a long time in such a fast-paced era as ours.
Many TV commentators at the end to 2005, predicted the president had
more than enough time to improve his political lot.
I predict he has more time to make his presidency a catastrophe.
I said it before he won the disputed election in Florida 2000 and
I still say it. Bush is a disaster in the making for America and the
world at large. I hope I'm wrong, because I used to be a Republican.
Call me prejudiced perhaps (many do) but let me document the following
prediction:
There is no good future for America as long as it remains under the
political swindle of the Dumbopublican-Donkeycrat two-party system.
But I digress into hot Saturn-in-Leontine linguistics. The tone of
the times to come in 2006 are hot with passion. If words of fire burn
to purify illusions then let them erupt and cinder.
The fire of Saturn in Leo burns deep to expose political scandals
and there will be many.
The Enron trial is on for 2006 and the trial to seek justice and revenge
will reach all the way to the White House.
What of Valery Palme and Spy-Gate? Many of you write asking me if
the scandal will go away.
I wonder if this scandal "can" go away for the very reasons
many of you voiced. It keeps reflecting on the greater scandal, the
baseless decision to go to war in Iraq.
The only thing that can save President Bush and his chief political
adviser and brain trust, Carl Rove, from an impeachment crisis in
2006 would be a perception of success in Iraq. In the first few months
of this year, White House spin will twirl fast and hard to present
an Iraqi political process and Iraqification of its security forces
making a great leap forward. The White House will play up the promise
to send the first sizable numbers of US troops home.
No spin can save a stubborn illusion with time. I have always said
from the beginning of the US occupation of Iraq that the Sunni insurgency
is a minor prelude to the real disaster coming: the break up of Iraq
into a civil war.
It will either happen in 2006 while we're there in full force building
permanent bases outside Iraqi population centers; or, it will happen
"after" the bases are finished and occupied by a smaller
US garrison in Iraq.
In short, we are not leaving and we will be in the middle of a civil
war.
When that civil war erupts, and US forces have to re-invade Iraq,
then the shadow of the Palme scandal might loom again over the Bush
administration's future. Look to this happening between late March
to Summer 2006 or at the end of 2006.
There will be calls for impeachment in 2006, but they will have no
political bite unless the Republican Party should lose its majority
in the House and Senate to those who can only pull things down and
not offer an intelligent alternative to Bush's failed policies.
Impeachment of the president is a danger waiting after 2006 ends.
Then perhaps we will see if the cryptic final line of the two "Dubiya"
prophecies of Nostradamus hints to the cause:
As stated in my earlier bulletin, THE "W"
PROPHECY (21 January 2005), Century 6, Quatrain 13 of Nostradamus'
prophetic masterpiece from the 1550s may have identified President
Bush by his nickname, "Dubiya":
Vn dubieux ne viendra loing du regne,
La plus grand part le voudra soustenir:
Vn Capitole ne voundra point qu'il regne,
Sa grande change ne pourra maintenir.
A doubtful (dubious) one will not come far from
the realm,
The greater part will want to support him:
A Capitol, will not want him to rule at all,
His great burden he will not be able to maintain.
If "dubieux" stands for "Dubiya"
then President Bush's remaining years in the White House will see
his slight majority (the greater part) won in the second term evaporate
because he'll make more "dubious" domestic, economic and
foreign policy decisions. Those of the Capitol are the Congress--both
houses will not want him to remain. This might imply the Democrats
will take back the House and Senate in the 2006 elections. It could
mean the President's own party will rebel against him. In either case,
Bush's will not see his ambitions fulfilled in his remaining years
in office. The president and his congress could be deadlocked in a
constitutional crisis--one side calling for impeachment, the other
saying, "Over my dead body."
Saturn in Leo will see him try to achieve is goals, no matter what
cautions cry. And in doing what he thinks is good, he will make things
worse, in the Middle East, in Korea, in the American economy and in
the domestic life of his people. In 2006, he will inject appointees
into the Supreme Court a politicized, intolerant interpretation of
the Constitution that will lead to an era of constitutional crisis
in America for 20 years.
Nostradamus may resume the prophecy in Century 6 Quatrain 95 hinting
why those of the "Capitol" do not want him to finish his
second term. It reads:
Par detracteur calumnié à puis nay.
Quand istront faicts enormes & martiaux:
La moindre part dubieuse à l'aisnay,
Et tost au regne seront faicts partiaux.
By the detractor calumny (lodged) against the younger born.
When enormous and warlike deeds will go on:
The least part doubtful for the elder one,
And soon in the kingdom there will be patrician deeds.
G. W. Bush is the "younger born," the successor to his father,
the 41st president G. H. W. Bush. The son will endure many more vicious
political attacks. He waged a great war against terrorism, with shock
and awe he invades and occupies Iraqi. He has an Axis of Evil to destroy
and time is running out. Perhaps Iran is next in 2006, then North
Korea later?
As I said in my earlier bulletins, history already views the father,
the "elder" Bush, as an accomplished unilateralist better
able to establish and sustain military and economic alliances. The
younger Bush is a unilateralist who in four short years has abandoned
treaties and isolated the US from its allies and friends more thoroughly
than any modern US president in history. Does this dubious accomplishment
earn an outcry for impeachment? The clue is hidden in divining Nostradamus'
meaning for "Patrician" in the final line:
...And soon in the kingdom there will be patrician deeds.
The word "partiaux" is a classic Nostradamian double-entendre
for the old French "partial"--partisan, but it also means
"patrician." A number of you have pointed out in your emails
that the Irish name, "Patrick" is derived from the Latin
"Patrician."
The special prosecutor investigating the Valery Palme case is "Patrick"
Fitzgerald.
Perhaps the Palme case is Bush's Watergate scandal. It may take years
before the full weight of investigation and the cover-up of evidence
leads, like Nixon, to another president forced to leave office before
the end of his term. If the Palme case is Bush's Watergate then we
are at the beginning of the fall. The years 2005-2006 are more like
1972-1973 and the hammer of impeachment may not come down on the president
until 2007 or 2008.
In the mid-term elections of 2006, we will see the clearest indications
yet that the American people are tired of being victims of ideologues
of the Left and the Right. You will hear them clamor for a third party,
a rebellion of the independent voter. Arguments about the usual themes
of our times will continue in the political debate of 2006: the future
of the economy and the future of war in Iraq, etc. Add to this a spirited
and politically partisan debate about global warming and what to do
about it as a nation. The Left will be spineless. They will not promote
the draconian measures needed to curtail our fossil fuel use. The
Right, especially the religious right, will remain in denial of global
warming. The Middle East has its "Islamists." We have our
"Christianists" in powerful places. They believe the world
is soon going to end in Judgment Day anyway so why not exploit its
resources to abandon when the world is preordained to die? The year
2006 will expose more Americans to this insane and cultish stance
held by powerful business and political leaders.
Frustration at the polls in November 2006 will give birth in two more
years to the next great call for a third political party. It will
be an "American" party, whose platform will include finding
common ground across the entire American spectrum of political issues.
They will promise to work through consensus--not through division--to
solve a set of national and economic crises left in the wake of eight
years of the Bush Administration.
Now to the Middle East in 2006.
The trial of Saddam Hussein in Iraq "has" become a show
trial as I predicted. The former dictator in 2006 will successfully
promote a myth of defiance that radical Arab movements will admire
for decades to come.
In November 2004, I had predicted that if Bush became president America
would be in a major Middle Eastern war with Iraq half way through
his first term. I said Saddam would soon fall in the invasion, but
the US occupation would become a second Vietnam.
Commenting on that prophecy a year ago in December 2004 in the HogueProphecy
Bulletin SATURN'S PRESIDENT (21 December
2004), I documented the following observation that is even more pertinent
for the year 2006:
The year 2006 will find Saddam making the most out of being a false
martyr. The name "Saddam" in Arabic means "the one
who confronts." Saturn in Leo is Saddam's time. He will exploit
his final act on history's stage to the fullest unto his end.
Now a word on the stars and war.
Mundane astrology is another name for the art of predicting world
events and the destiny of nations by using star and planetary configurations.
This prophetic art cautions us to heed the danger of war erupting
whenever Mars is in either in the constellations of Aries (God of
War) or in Leo (the God of egomania if in negative aspect). With this
in mind, let us examine quickly two astrological prophecies of Nostradamus
to see if new war or a widening war in the Middle East could happen
in 2006.
Century 1, Quatrain 15 says:
Mars nous menasse par la force bellique,
Septante foys sera le sang espandre:
Auge & ruyne de l'Ecclesiastique,
Et plus ceux qui d'eux rien voudront entendre.
Mars, you menace by the force of war,
Seventy times will he cause blood to be shed:
Increase and ruin for the Clergy,
And more for those who will desire to hear nothing from them.
Here are the possible windows for World War III appearing as a plague
of 70 ethnic wars on Earth when the Catholic Church is besieged by
secularists and jihadist who do not listen to their teachings. I published
the following in 1997 on pp. 79-80 of my book Nostradamus:
The Complete Prophecies:
I still remain hopeful, as I did in 1997, that the prophecy above is about a time window for war a few decades from now. Back then I finished my dissertation on 1 Q15 with this coda:
A more specific astrological prophecy calculating the
times of war comes from the right interpretation of Century 4, Quatrain
67 of Nostradamus:
L'an que Saturne & Mars esgaux combust,
L'air fort seiché, longue traiection:
Par feux secrets, d'ardeur grand lieu adust
Peu pluye, vent chault, guerres, incursions.
In the year when Saturn and Mars are equally fiery,
The air is very dry, a long comet:
From hidden fires a great place burns with heat,
Little rain, hot wind, wars and raids.
Let us review what I wrote in 1997 about Saturn and Mars being the
triggers for new wars or the escalation of current wars on p. 350
of Nostradamus: The Complete Prophecies:
The next "equally fiery" configuration of
Mars and Saturn comes in June-July of 2006 when both planets are equally
fiery in the sign of Leo.
Ten years ago my contacts to the Israeli Cabalist community told me
that in 2006 Israel might face crisis and a major war.
Dr. Louis Turi recently came to a similar conclusion calculating the
stars using a medieval astrological discipline most likely practiced
by Nostradamus himself. One that marks the significance of aspects
with the natal position or transit of the earth's north and south
nodes in a chart--otherwise known as the Dragon's Head and Dragon's
Tail. In his recently released
predictions for the New Year , Dr. Turi explained that the Dragon's
head transit into Pisces will spark a Middle Eastern war.
This transit happens in June 2006!
If only level heads in Israel, Iran and the Arab nations would use
Saturn in Leo's fire to launch new peace initiatives rather than war.
So many astrological factors conspire against a peaceful passage through
June-July of 2006 because of the collective unawareness of our leaders
and people to the influential forces of Saturn and Mars "equally
fiery" in Leo. Ultimatums, dictatorial stubbornness, reactive
passions rule the hot days of the next summer. One hopes that they
will be a time for peace, but it looks more like a time for war.
Here is the list with the planet and the constellation noted of other
times to come when Mars and Saturn are "equally fiery.
The final three times show these planets in the strongest
aspect for setting the world on fire in wars. May we avert that future
now by beginning the process of transforming anger into compassionate
deeds.
On this New Year's Eve the great forces of history pause before the
first hour for a new and decisive year strikes in human destiny.
Dan Oldenburg, my astrological consultant on a number of my earlier
books, reminded me of the following, just a few days ago. He said,
"The grand cross in (Tropical) mid-Fixed [signs] is happening
right now. Mars in Taurus, Saturn in Leo, Jupiter in Scorpio, Neptune
in Aquarius. It's close to the so-called Occult Gates (15 degrees
Fixed), so there's a lot of HIDDEN but very powerful stuff going on
in all secret societies right now... Big decisions being made regarding
direction and emphasis that will reverberate for a long time."
What positive resolutions can an individual make to turn crisis into
transformation while living through such a new year as 2006?
I would like to give an answer to all of your most frequently asked
questions on this matter. I tenderly invite you to consider only those
observations that resonate in your hara-heart.
QUESTION: What do you see next for the coming decades?
AN ANSWER:
A century of evolutionary crisis for the human race. The time has
finally come to begin growing. We have not evolved much beyond the
physical. Now consciousness must evolve or it will vanish from this
earth. We enter the travail of a hundred years. Bear down on the contractions
with joy and expectation of the coming birth of a new humanity, rather
than dwell upon the pain of that birth process.
QUESTION: It feels like the world is just spiraling out of control...is
it?
AN ANSWER:
The old human being is dying. Let him die in peace. Let not the old
human drag down into his grave those who want to grow and evolve.
He will try. He will not succeed.
QUESTION: Do you have any words of comfort or advice in this time?
AN ANSWER:
Comfort is a sentiment of the old man. Leave it behind. Be challenged
and excited, not burdened and fearful, of the coming times. Comfort
nourishes our habit to be unconscious and mechanical personalities
seeking the fulfillment of false dreams that ever turn into nightmares.
The sleeper must awaken from comfort and from habit. Rise and spread
your wings of reality. Bright is the daylight of human reality in
consciousness. Bright and blissful is the reality that dispels the
shadows of our personalities and their murky "comforting"
dreams.
QUESTION: What can we do to stop this dire future and turn it all
around?
AN ANSWER:
Flow with the awakening new era of the Aquarian Age. The dying age
of Pisces was an era overshadowed by superstition and blind belief.
Aquarius is about science and experiencing truth. It will not be an
age for "believers" but for "knowers," "experiencers"
and spiritual "explorers." Faith will pass away and in its
place will be "Trust."
Faith and Trust aren't the same thing. Faith is borrowed from the
outside. We are trained to have faith in this or that. Trust, however,
is something from within. It is a force, and expression of our consciousness
and innate love. It needs no one to be trustworthy of its trust. It
can even trust the unknowable. Trust gives wings to the soul's flight
through pathless awareness of its being.
QUESTION: So many people are in so much pain...What can I do?
AN ANSWER:
Become a meditator, a practitioner of the spiritual science of Self-Observation.
If you wish to end pain and suffering, then look first within and
understand the mechanics of your own adopted and programmed pain and
suffering. Society in its unconsciousness makes us habituated to being
divided and fearful personalities--we wear "persona" (masks)--over
the original face of our being.
Meditation techniques are available to help us catch a glimpse of
a world that is right here, right now--existing in pure "effect"
without a need for a "cause." I can share with you links
to the books and meditation techniques of my own teacher, if you but
give me permission. These techniques have helped me weather these
stormy times with more joy and serenity than I could ever possibly
imagine.
I wish to conclude by wishing you all a happy and centered spirit
that celebrates the challenges and trials of the new year and years
to come.
Always remember...
Out of chaos, stars are born. Out of travail comes a new child. Summer's
bloom of summer past must die so that new spring growth flourishes.
Seasons of the cosmos are like seasons of the year. Pisces leaves
fade and are underfoot in the winter of crisis. We enter that change
now. Celebrate the passage as best you can, for dying winter leaves
of Pisces passing, seed the flowers of the coming Aquarian "spring."
