“Instead of keeping our spiritual lives private we need to be sharing our knowledge and beliefs with others…it’s the only way to reclaim this world: one person at a time, one heart at a time. . . .” – Markus
So here we all are, witness and perhaps even midwife to this new born age of Aquarius arising from the greed & decay of the dying Piscean paradigm. Halcyon days to be sure; in fact with everything currently boiling over in so many places… things are right now at about the same fever pitch as the 1960’s; and the great awakening is adding millions of souls to the spiritual path. Increasingly we are feeling more like lobsters in the pot every day as chaos rampages unopposed across planet earth; and collectively we wonder is this all there is?…or does something stir un-noticed in the background as we struggle to keep our wits? Is all this evil truly unopposed? Things aren’t always as they seem!
There’s a reason we’re called seekers.
The spiritual path is a funny thing, it isn’t the same for everyone in some ways, and yet in other ways it is. For instance there are a great number of different things that may activate a spiritual awakening in a person, and indeed many ways to walk that path once we have our bearings; but the process of getting our bearings is somewhat universal. We ask similar questions and seek similar answers in our effort to regain both balance and perspective, and it ain’t easy – if it was everyone would be doing it.
This modern age of wireless internet is like a double edged sword for the recently awakened initiate seeking answers and truth. On the one hand you have access to virtually all information in human knowledge at your fingertips; which those of us who’ve been doing this awhile really envy. On the other hand there is such a huge amount of information available that some folks are drowning in it. There is a lot to take in.
For us early bloomers it was a very different world; not only was there far less information readily accessible, but very often there were few others to discuss spiritual subjects with. It’s often called the great mystery, and so gave rise to the various mystery schools over time. I can’t say I’ve ever been terribly drawn to any of those oracles of occult learning; nothing in particular against them, just not my vibe. Likewise, I’ve never felt the urge to go study at the knee of this guru or that mystic; but rather just to follow my own heart, and that still, small voice within. Libraries and old book stores, that’s my vibe.
