Only a few months remain before we reach that fateful date of 2025.
We have all spoken and written extensively about its significance over the last number of years and have kept our gaze fixed upon this time with a real sense of hope alive inside us. And now, here we are…
Are we ready and what possibly still needs to be done in preparation?
First of all, a few words are probably needed to provide a broader perspective and understanding of the deep reason this coming year is held to be so important. In addition to the astrological reasons, there is the fact that the 25th year of every century is chosen by the Hierarchy for Them to convene a gathering in order to assess the state of the world and then make plans for the future according to Their evaluation.
Often we speak about 2025 as a turning point towards a better world filled with beauty and peace. Although this may be true, we need to also keep our eyes firmly focussed on a realistic perspective in which Hierarchy alone would not be able to generate such a potent influx of energy that human conditions suddenly could change into a more positive state of affairs. This would not be respectful of the laws of matter and, even less of the right and duty of every person to exercise their own free will. Meaningful and effective change in the world can only occur as a result of right choices and actions that are based on our own process of self-awareness and realization.
Human consciousness functions as the intermediary between the world of the Spirit and the world of matter. Therefore, any impulse given by the Higher Group of Guides of humanity to accelerate our evolution and promote the birth of an epoch of light and love on the Planet, needs to impress itself and act directly on our consciouness – stimulating it to a further level of maturity and spiritual progress. In all likelihood, this type of stimulation implies the precipitation of very challenging situations which will push and force humanity to turn its gaze towards those higher values and qualities which, for the present, are not generally recognized as essential. Therefore, the events expected in 2025 will be major points of testing – set in motion by a note of intense stimulation – that will shake and shatter whatever crystallized elements are still blocking the expression of our highest potentialities.
Undoubtedly, Hierarchy is now intensely engaged in preparing for the 2025 Conclave. We may well wonder how They are going about this task. We can only assume that They will carefully observe, deeply reflect and focus precisly on all possibilities in order to create the next set of Goals for Planet Earth.
We are each called to follow a similar process if we are to grow and develop in Their Footprints by committing to imitate Hierarchy to the greatest extent possible – given the huge difference of energetic potentiality and capability. We can follow in Their tracks and read the signposts left by Them to guide us on the upward spiral journey.
By imagining how the Planet should and could evolve, or how we wish it to be, gives us a hint of what attitudes we need to begin cultivating. By doing this, we can each help prepare for 2025 and thus close the gap between the present and the future.
Here are a few simple helpful hints:
– Nourish all our relationships with more care, attention and love. In any relationship, there is always the possibility of raising its quality
– Insert among our usual thoughts, reflections and ideas about what would benefit the Greater Good
– Improve the relationship with our own body by sensing what it really needs and purifying it from all previous unhealthy patterns and habits
– Gradually and steadfastly detach from ways of living which are a result of past conditioning and that no longer serve the future possibilities
– Look for and cultivate a group life to the extent we are able and called to do so
If we train in this way, while being aware that our commitment is not just focussed on improving our present life situation, we need to keep in mind the goal in this specific time, is that of creating the foundation of a new life for all. Holding this inner intention makes every thought and every action that much more creative and richer.
Our personality vehicles – the physical, emotional and mental bodies – need to be trained to sustain a higher vibration. If we really think and believe that at some point more light will flow into Earth then it is our responsibility to be prepared so that we are able to receive it without disruption or dispersion. Not one spark of light, nor one drop of love can be wasted as the birth of a new world requires all of the nourishment and resources at our disposal.
Those who sense the fiery hope of this Birth of a new way of living for humanity are called to act like pregnant mothers: expectantly waiting and doing all that is possible to ensure that their child receives the best care. The Child we are now collectively awaiting is a new Life for all beings and, ultimately, this Child can simply be named as Christ Consciousness.
I would also like to offer a few hints about how to best face the many challenges of this present period where it appears that the worst of humanity in every field of endeavour is coming to the surface – causing disasters, wars and collective folly. Every single life is affected in some way and very often the temptation is to get discouraged and to become entrapped in feelings of sadness and depression.
While ugliness is rampant and raging in every corner of the world, the need to consciously cultivate Beauty becomes pivotal. This call to Beauty can be approached in a variety of ways through experinces in nature, the arts, relationships and travel. Beauty as a chosen lifestyle will help raise our vibration that is, at the moment, being threatened by all the global events now taking place.
Regarding these dramatic facts affecting people everywhere, we need to mantain an attitude of empathy without identification. This means fully feeling what is happening but without being innerly captured. The boundary between the feelings held in the heart and being submerged by the feelings in the solar plexus, is very thin and it requires vigilance and balance. Only through a heart-centred attitude can we be truly helpful and effective.
If, from time to time, feelings of sadness or of anguish affect us then let us avoid the temptation to interpret them as signs of weakness or that something is not working inside us as this could easily consume our energy and be detrimental to our effectiveness. Instead, a reason for these negative feelings could simply be that we have an adverse reaction to the collective emotional currents in which we are all presently immersed. Therefore, as these feelings come, we can simply let them go without remaining attached or conditioned by their presence.
More than ever, in these challenging times, Joy is the most appropriate contribution we can offer. May we each choose Joy as a commitment and a saving force for ourselves and for all around us.
Joy, Joy, Joy!
