On Monday our nation experienced once again a tragedy involving the loss of innocent lives, and the wounding of many others.  When “bad” things happen we have two choices.  We can send love or breed fear.  The more shocking and massive the horrific event, the more we are apt to be drawn into the latter of these choices.  But we must consider that we always have choice, and that the one we make is immensely important, for ourselves and for the entire planet.

I just read a report of this troubling event.  It stated that the sidewalk in front of the house of the 8 year old boy who lost his life said, “Peace.” How profound.  Clearly a choice for love over fear.  Let us all know that at this moment, and in every moment, we can send love, prayers of support, healing, and hope for those who have suffered and for their families.  Let us all try to make the tough choice of sending love over the easy one of breeding fear.  If we cannot reach for love because we are just too triggered, let us ask for the strength not to descend further into the darkness of hate, revenge, punishment, and fear.  Let us try to see the bigger picture where there are no victims, but wounds to heal and hearts to soften.

Let us understand that “bad things” do not happen to “good people.”  In fact, things happen and our invitation is not to judge, but to understand.  To be part of the loving solution, not the fear-based problem.  May Boston heal.  May the families of those hurt and lost know that the mandate for “Peace” is louder than ever.

Wow…what a fantastic time we are living in!   We are closing out a World Age, beginning The Year of the Dragon, and all this is happening in The Age of Aquarius!  (Any more excitement and we’d likely all vaporize!)  Lori & I explored these topics in our recent Chai Chat show — listen & enjoy! 

January 23rd marks the official start of The Year of the Dragon!  It’s the only mythical “animal” in the Chinese zodiac!  It is a dramatic time, a time to think big!  The more spectacular, the more unusual, and the more bizarre, the better the chances of success!  Taking place every 12 years, the Year of the Dragon is “lucky” as the Chinese Dragon is looked upon as the ultimate symbol of good fortune.  The Dragon is also a symbol of divine protection and vigilance.  Dragons are referred to as a divine mythical creature that brings with it ultimate abundance, prosperity, and good fortune. 

So this is the year to take off your emergency brake!  Unpack your boa and spikey heels!  Get a new do (hair, that is!) and cast your caution to the wind!  The currents of cosmic support are beneath you and support is all around you (especially your Tribe!)   No matter what Chinese animal sign you were born into, this is YOUR YEAR!  And for you Dragons….woooohooo for youuuu!

We are also in the astrological Age of Aquarius.  Each age lasts approximately 2,150 years.  The transition between ages lasts about 280 years.  It is said that the keyword for Aquarius is Enlightenmnent!  The destiny of humankind in the Age of Aquarius is the revelation of truth and the expansion of consciousness. 

Author Ray Grasse, in  his book Signs of the Times, suggests that if you want help navigating through the Age of Aquarius, you should leave room for silence in your life (preferably involving a connection to the Absolute), and resist the deadening of your world.  So instead of filling your life with manufactured goods or artificiality, bring living organic things into your life.  Furthermore you need to maintain a compassionate heart; be involved in a network or group; become more self-reliant; avoid being hypnotized by the “group trance,” and take control of your everyday attitudes (i.e. do not depend upon external events for your inner fulfillment).

So is our Tribe right on time, or what???!!  How totally in divine alignment we are!  And our invitation is to each of YOU.  Re-read the passage above, close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine how you can move closer into alignment with the current cosmic energies.  After all, having the wind in your sails sure beats swimming upstream!

Once you finish your peaceful envisioning, click on the latest audio — Aquarius: Let the Sun Shine In!  Bet you’ll be out of your chair dancing in The Year of the Dragon!  (Go to: “Enlightened Life Lovers” – Sign up & join the Tribe!)

The last day of every year naturally invites reflection and anticipation.  This time we enter a year there has been much talk about, 2012.  The winter solstice of this coming year, 12/21/12 marks the end of a World Age 5,125 years in length, and is thus the endpoint of the great Mayan calendar. 

We can all feel and see changes of great magnitude — in climate, in cultures, in the global economy, in politics, etc.  We wonder will this be a time of momental challenge?  And will these challenges bring new birth, a transformatioin of our consciousness at a magnitude greater than any since the beginning of human existence?  I believe that we are at a crossroad of choice, that we are being given an invitation to understand ourselves and our human existence in miraculous ways.

Here is a video you may enjoy, and others are displayed at its conclusion.  I like the part that suggests “we are burning our bridges,” and opening to unimaginable new vistas.  I wish all of you peace, joy, and love in this pivotal and powerful New Year.  I invite you each to do your part in shortening the distance between your head and your heart.  As for me, I offer my prayers and service at this time of Enlightenment.  Namaste.
