Folks, there's actually a pretty well established group (has been for decades) with a far more sinister design on things than a lot of us would care to admit. The idea alone is definitely unpleasant, but it must be faced, as must those who are working to engineer anything other than a truly sustainable society for the long-term future.
You see, there are those who are truly in `this' for nothing more than themselves ... and unfortunately that definition of `self' sometimes matches `this' in the most horrible ways imaginable.
At the opposite end of the spectrum are the Forces of Light and Love, and these are now as dependent as always upon HUMANITY to help shift the balance, and this means *of necessity* letting certain ancient tendencies go, once and for all. Either we shall have a New World, in which
every person has a part to play [however small], and in which the Rights and Responsibilities of
all people are acknowledged and defended ...
... or we may not have a world much longer, at all.
The in-between are the bulk of the world's population: awakening, eager for assistance, and certainly no longer content to remain
second-class. This is the case whether these people are in `3rd-world' countries or not, although it is clear that in many places we must start with
the bare necessities in order to even give these people a chance.
Meanwhile, our world quakes and quivers, and - begging pardon - you have to pretty much be an idiot,
or have your head in the sand, if you can't see what's happening. The same folks who refuse to see the Beauty all around them will also deny anything besides a
blind, mechanistic, strictly material world ... as atheism is perhaps the greatest blight on Human society of all time, second only to plain old
apathy.
Make no mistake, those who fight for their
own selfish ends are
not atheists, and by no means are they apathetic. They have simply defined their
boundaries as far as what, or who, they care about.
And those who most of us either know, count ourselves among, or aspire to assist ... either serve the Plan consciously and with some degree of awareness of that fact, or on some level, with some awakening yet still significant degree of that same awareness.
One world, One people
Astrological eras are a scientific FACT; this was known and accepted by modern astronomers more than 100 years ago. We also know about a precessional cycle, and the fact that we transit from one age into another every 2100 years or so. There are those who will argue, with good reason, that we entered Aquarius in the year 1900. They are correct.
Others will argue that the role of World Teacher was assumed by that individual officially in 1942 [I believe it was; I'd have to double check]. This too is correct, thereby making the Aquarian Era transition some 7 decades past. In both cases, it should be realized that we are witnessing are not simply the
birth pangs of a
new age, but also the
last-ditch efforts of the forces which OPPOSE our progress, hoping to prevent a smooth transition.
God-willing, our transition will go more smoothly ... but the funny thing there is,
God has less to do with that than some people want to believe. In this, it's not the
atheists who are right - it's those who keep reminding us,
we are the arbiters of our own destiny, NOT some outside force or set of forces [either for good, OR for evil].
Yet things would go SO much more smoothly, if only we had a little more Faith - that indeed, there
are Those Who are seeking to assist us now, and
especially now ... and also if we were willing to sacrifice
a little bit more and demonstrate this in some real, tangible effort in the world today. Remember, *thoughts are things*. Therefore, thought too, IS tangible.
