To keep the spirit of Truth alive, we must learn to serve the Forces of Light. This is more critical now than ever before. For many, however, it is easier to remain in a state of ‘sleep’ and to ignore the blaring fact that millions on the planet are suffering and that we are clearly heading on a downward spiral.
As we plough through these challenging times, let us share the best part of ourselves with all who genuinely seek to understand the cause of the happenings of the time. Waking up, in a world of constant conflict—whether it be on the physical plane between fighting factions, or on the emotional and mental planes of our own beings—is a difficult thing to achieve but essential as we move closer toward the new age.
To justify ingrained habits of laziness and inertia, we convince ourselves that the problems we face are just too big, too terrible and we ourselves, too small and helpless to do anything about them. What we don’t understand is that humanity is a collective Being and that what happens to one, happens to all. We are One Soul, unseparated, and have always been, though the divisive mind would tell us otherwise. At the level of soul we know this to be true. It is the awakening of the human Soul that will pull us out of this age-old dilemma.
When we hear of gallant souls putting themselves on the front line on behalf of others to face the impact of dark forces, our hearts open. Love and admiration flow toward them for their demonstration of conviction and courage in wanting to help others. To understand the present world need requires our being awake to the atrocities being committed behind many current events, and to know, with the soul’s conviction, what is truly at stake and what needs to be done with courage to counteract the evil that is so boldly evident. In soul wakefulness, on a global scale, right solutions and the determination to implement them are found.
It is clear to many that we are now experiencing the ‘birth pangs’ of a new era and that they will continue until a space is created for something new. This will not happen until humanity as a whole begins to play its part in the process of Earth’s transformation. Until this global awakening occurs, the breaking down of life as we know it will continue on a scale unknown to us. As a collective force we can together create the needed space for something new to enter. By opening our hearts in group formation across the globe, the power of Love and Goodwill can grow into a mighty force for the common good.
With love and resilience, and the opening of the human heart to world need, solutions will come as we tap into soul consciousness to bring in the new era. Many are awakening to the present crisis, yet many remain asleep. When the soul awakens, a deep sense of responsibility emerges in very simple and beautiful ways. It requires an awareness of current events and a personal effort to transmute eons of selfish behaviour patterns. The outcome will be a new way of thinking and being that will create a new world founded on lessons learned and an ability to love and care for each other as never before. The good news is that changes are occurring as we awaken to the happenings of the time.
“Resilience is a quality that permeates the natural world and the spiritual world. Only in the human kingdom is it often found lacking, for within the human race there is a tendency toward discouragement and passivity that is unknown both to the lesser and the greater kingdoms of life. Constant striving defines the life of the young tree in the forest struggling to find a crack in the canopy of trees overhead for its branches to receive the light of the sun.
Constant striving defines the lives of all who comprise the spiritual Hierarchy despite the constancy of disappointments besetting Us in Our approach to humanity; through our many attempts to forge
pathways of light into the human kingdom. Constant are the rebuffs of Our efforts to impress the minds of those who lead humanity, yet We press on, undaunted in the face of the most horrific distortions and perversions of the evolutionary forces.
There will come a time, not long from now, when awakening souls will perceive the fruits of their valiant efforts. In the meantime, let the watchword be Resilience.”
