HOLIDAY THOUGHTS IN A CHANGING WORLD

We now have an enormous battle happening between the sunshine and the darkish.  Beneath the floor, the sunshine is successful however the brand new media don’t wish to let go of their score, and concern and corruption promote.   Nonetheless, we at all times just like the Solar in Sagittarius to heat the vacation hearts, and planets in Mula Nakshatra remind us to show to God we have now the Solar there now and Mercury in that constellation for a very long time till mid-January and Mars will undergo there Dec. 27-Jan. 14^th.  World wide, nice gurus and avatars are working to create a greater planet.  We sense that the darkish forces will get their come-up-ance as you can’t violate the legal guidelines of nature without end and get away with it. 

I believe all of the concern of Struggle spreading forces us to reevaluate our lives.  Listed here are a few of my ideas:

1) We’re right here to get pleasure from ourselves and never work ourselves into our graves. The financial system and the fabric realm of cravings push us to surrender valuable relationship time with family and friends. Older people who find themselves on the point of cross typically are requested what they remorse and it was that they labored an excessive amount of and didn’t spend sufficient time with their household.

2) We’re right here to not repeat the identical errors of the previous.  I’m typically reminded of my favourite film, Floor Hog Day with Invoice Murray.  Are we going to endlessly make the identical errors and get up in the identical unhealthy dream that we’re caught in or are we going to make new decisions and get up reborn, with a brand new lifetime of pleasure and enthusiasm?  If we have now unhealthy relationship karma, are we going to just accept duty for what we did unsuitable and do it higher this time?

3) We now have to be aware and never make the identical errors which implies selecting kindness and compassion over blaming and fault-finding and complaining.  If you’re not prepared to repair it and do one thing about it, you haven’t any proper to endlessly complain about it.

4) We now have to train moral judgment. In an age of Rahu the place dishonest corruption and swindling are the norm, we have now to try to do the correct factor even when it’s not simple. I miss these tales on the information the place folks discover misplaced cash and discover a approach to monitor it again to the proprietor and provides it again.

5)  We now have to seek out Jupiter and defeat Rahu and never settle for corruption in authorities because the norm.  We now have to return to educating ethical values at residence and within the classroom and never let our children get corrupted by violence and the celebration of evil that has develop into the norm on tv. Time to show off your tv, let your child play solely playground video games with different children, maintain them away from violent video video games, and cell telephones, and return to old style values.

6)  We have to return to easy, caring for folks, and sharing, and never spend our time hiding in our addictions, numbing out to violent tv, and discovering time to make a distinction in different’s lives.

7) We’re right here to observe kindness and compassion.  I’m reminded of a beautiful story from Elizabeth Kubler-Ross who interviewed somebody who skilled dying after which got here again and was revived on the working desk.  She remembers having her entire life flashed and reviewed earlier than her as she ascended however she was solely proven the occasions when she practiced unconditional love and kindness.  She remembered serving to a woman in a wheelchair at an in a single day camp and holding her firm when everybody went off on a tenting journey and her sacrifice and love was an excellent reminder.

All of those require making main adjustments, selecting new patterns, and creating new pathways in our lives. It may be performed nevertheless it takes a aware effort and an energetic alternative. We now have to be alert and awake to do it.

We’re right here on this planet, to provide love and share, and to assist others. We aren’t right here within the Age of Rahu to build up as many new devices as we are able to, waste our life numbing ourselves to our emotional ache and harming anybody or something, or spend our time denouncing others or demonizing others who don’t share our viewpoint.

Somewhat yoga, meditation, aware consciousness, and conscious motion could make a distinction.  Discover time to vary

I like this excellent message from Yogananda in regards to the Start of Christ at Christmas and it jogs my memory of the necessity for rebirth at the moment of yr.  No matter faith you’re linked to, the significance of rebirth of our inside Divinity is necessary at the moment of yr when the nights are very lengthy and the Solar takes an extended time to emerge within the morning.

Paramahansa Yogananda:

On daily basis, each hour, each golden second, Christ has been knocking… Now, on this august sacred daybreak, Christ is very coming in reply to your inside name, to awaken his Christ Consciousness Omnipresence inside you.

This Christ of In every single place is sleeping within the breast of Eternity; He likes to take new delivery at any time, wherever, particularly within the heat of your true affection. Although the Infinite Christ is current in each speck of house because the splendor of ever-new knowledge and inventive expression, you possibly can by no means see Him except He chooses to be seen within the cradle of your unceasing devotion. The comfy crib of your coronary heart has for a really very long time been small, holding self-love alone; now you need to make it huge, in order that social, nationwide, worldwide, and Cosmic Christ-love could also be born there and develop into One Love.

The Infinite Christ is in every single place; worship His nativity in Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Moslem, Jewish, and different true non secular temples. Each expression of Reality flows from the All-pervading Christ notion, so be taught to worship that sacred Common Intelligence in each pure faith, perception, and educating. For the reason that Cosmic Christ dreamed into existence the divine being that’s man, it’s best to have a good time the delivery of Christ in your newly woke up equal love for each nationality and race.
