The Evolutionary Context of our Times

We are certainly living at a time of rapid change in which both the pain of  conflict and suffering contrast with inspired human endeavours bringing as  bewildering mixture of depressing turmoil and uplifting visions of hope.

If for a still, pain free moment we can step back from such complexity we can perceive many significant shifts underway and begin to detect that ,added together, these are indicating a momentous moment of both great peril and promise .Our trust needs to be founded on the possibility that humanity will evolve through world crisis

 

The Great Astrological Ages

Astrologers tell us that our world progresses through great ages and that each  age is 2100 years long and that twelve of these ages added together bring us to a gigantic solar cycle of 26,000 years. Currently we are in transition between the Piscean era and the Aquarian era. The Piscean era , which started at  the time that Jesus the Christ was born, was a time of relative fixity where beliefs are brought forth where certain ideas last for a long time where the rich man in his castle and the poor man at his gate were happy because they each knew their estate. This is no longer the case. The aquarian era is much less fixed and more free flowing and is propelling us to a greater group consciousness in which the individual has a part to play within the group so is significant in the movement forward

This is Pushing us towards Greater Synergy

So linking with others with in and out with our own ‘tribe of  belonging is natural and has led to and increase in the plethora of interfaith, interreligious, interspirituality movements all of which have a part to play.

 

Awakening to New Awareness

At this time we are recognising the oneness of all life. Some people have experienced this in a peak moment of deep insight, others have read about it and come to that conclusion and some are just sensing it deep within them .Poets and Mystics saw the essential oneness of life well ahead of us and such poets as Alexander Pope in the eighteenth  century wrote “The world is one stupendous whole, whose body nature is and God the soul”, and the Mystic Hildegard of Bingham sang of the oneness of life as God as her form of adoration as early as the twelfth century.
