The New Age is not a
spectator sport

As we begin the
21st century one can only wonder what the future holds. Today
many people believe that mankind is threatened with
extinction. Some think this will happen due to our nonchalant
attitude to polluting the planet. Others believe we will wipe
ourselves out with a nuclear explosion, either accidentally or
intentionally. While still others believe we will be
obliterated by a rogue asteroid or global cataclysm of some
kind , leaving behind a handful to cope with widespread famine
and possibly disease.
Although all of
the above could possibly happen, amidst all that darkness and
gloom burns a bright inextinguishable light; a light of hope
for our world, regeneration of our planet and rebirth of the
human spirit. This is the New Age. It has come from within
mankind where it has been dormant for sometime, waiting to be
drawn out, or better still invited, just as future ages lie in
wait, yet to come.
This is the
time when we are challenged to re-evaluate beliefs and
lifestyles, and a great change is in progress. After a certain
amount of time spent on the UFO subject, we may find ourselves
at a place where we have to make the effort to put into
practice what we have come to know. When this happens we may
be required to make changes because of our new understanding
of life, the universe and ultimately ourselves. There’s a
reorientation happening deep below the surface of the
intellect, in our deepest essence.
Many of us have
spent some time in Ufology now and most are on a new path,
while others are just beginning theirs, but change is always
in progress. At the moment a reaffirmation of spirituality is
taking place in waves across the planet which many of us are
hoping will eventually inundate the global population.
Although the New Age may still exist as a vision or a dream of
the future we carry around the seeds for the new world within
us. Trying as it may seem at times, we still have to cope with
living in the old world with it’s limited thinking and
mechanistic view. In order for the New Age to manifest mankind
must resolve the energies of these two worlds.
The New Age
cannot be speeded up nor can its momentum be slowed as it has
its own timetable. Mankind cannot be forced to build a new
culture but must be inspired to do through individuals who
have responded to their own personal vision of a better world
in another time. It is through them that transformation takes
place.
Each of us must
act according to our own inspiration and to deny this is to
deny ourselves and our truth. We must each transform our
orientation to the New Age, not just by considering it
intellectually or emotionally but by becoming completely
involved in the transition that is taking place within us at
this time. The New Age is not a spectator sport. For the
individuals who have attuned themselves to this New Age, the
task at hand is to externalize this new culture within us
rather than to deny it.
If we remain
caught up in the ways of the old world then there will be no
place for the new within our lives. The old has only remained
for so long because there has been no new vision to challenge
it. Now there is. The more it is expressed and recognized, the
more mankind will attune to it and it will eventually come
into existence. A better world and new ways. We don’t have to
deny, destroy or be at war with the old ways as they helped us
to be where we are now – in readiness for the new age. Once
mankind is completely attuned to the New Age, the energies of
the old world will simply cease to exist.
When this
occurs, I believe it will be a time of great joy, peace and
harmony. Until then we all need to play our part. Now is the
time to begin. There is no waiting!!
