A renewed sense of sacredness in all things...

Change is in the air. Cosmic cycles large and small are unfolding throughout the universe, which are beyond our control. The mystics knew of these things eons ago. For us, the age of Pisces is fading into the twilight and the New Age of Aquarius is dawning. It is irreversible.

These will be times of profound inner transformation and self-discovery. And the pace of this change is accelerating daily. Those who fear this change will not evolve nor will they have an easy time of it. Those who do will awaken to their true spiritual nature and cosmic heritage.

The birth of Aquarius, a time love, peace and harmony, will bring our fears to the surface so that we might have the opportunity to confront and release them. There will be some challenges and some pain for each of us. But there will also be a sense of renewal and, finally, joy and ecstasy. 

The age of materialism and self-gratification is coming to an end. In its place, we will look within ourselves for understanding and a new sense of awareness that will bring a greater sense of meaning, purpose and peace to our lives. Love will guide our intentions. Fear and ego-based thoughts will no longer be appropriate or accepted. All of this will have a major impact on how we view sexuality.

The Age of Aquarius will last some 2,160 years. You will have this life and other future lives to experience its magnificence. Its theme will be love, unity, harmony, sacredness, peace and happiness. It will not happen overnight, but it will happen. As this golden age unfolds, we will find ourselves putting aside the traditional concepts of male-female unions that have brought us to this point in our cosmic journey as a human family. They aren't working because, for the most part, ego, control and fear were their basis. That is now ending.

The New Age of spiritual partnering will be based upon unconditional love, an all-embracing friendship, openness and the freedom to be oneself without fear of insult, judgment or retribution. 

This new awareness about relationships will take some time to occur, but new, visionary partners will no longer feel a need to be linked to one another by a legal document or an ornate wedding ring. Rather, their union will flourish because of an unselfish desire to be together out of true love. And such, relationships will be far more rewarding than those based upon ego and fear. 

Aquarius will also bring about a renewed sense of sacredness in all things, including female-male couplings. Every day the feminine energy on this planet strengthens and makes its presence and influence felt, after thousands of years of suppression by male dominated thinking. Men and women will no longer bond as unequal opposites. Rather, they will partner as balanced, spiritual beings who are fully aware that their union with one another is an important part of their ongoing, cosmic evolution. 

This renewed sense of meaning at the male-female level will bring with it far more joy, intensity, passion and lasting fulfillment than we have ever experienced before. These kinds of partnerships will have a spiritual foundation. And the lovers and children that spring from such unions will usher in an era of sacred sexuality.

It is sad to see what has happened to sexuality over the past 2000 years. Without a doubt it has lost much of its cosmic meaning. Christian religions have turned it into something that is filled with guilt and shame. The media has used it to satisfy their need for greed. We have overused it to satisfy our desire for self-gratification in the material world. Let's face it. We're lost on this one. How did we reach this point? By allowing ourselves to follow the opinions and judgments of others who have a vested interest in this area.

And yet, at the other extreme, I'm sure we will all agree that there are those precious moments when sexuality can be the most profound way to express our love for another. I can think of no other experience that can compare to the physical ecstasy and emotional pleasure derived from the intense feelings of oneness created as a result of unselfish, sexual intimacy between two individuals who truly care for one another. This gift of love did not happen by accident. It is all a part of the divine plan. Over the years we have drifted from its true meaning and intent.

The New Age will also bring with it a profound change in the reasons why we enter into romantic partnerships with another. The institution of marriage is failing miserably because of expectations, needs, control, fear, domination, judgments, and other ego-based actions. I am convinced that the future of long term partnerships and sexuality will have a sacred basis to it. When one awakens spiritually, all things become sacred.

The New Age of spiritual partnering...twin soul relationships

As we begin to walk the path back home to God, it appears that three very important things must happen. The first is that we awaken spiritually and become aware of our divine connection. The second is that we balance the masculine and feminine energies within ourselves. And the third is that we reunite with our twin to form a spiritually mature and lasting partnership.

It's also important to point out that romantic, twin soul relationships will only endure when two God mates are spiritually mature and ready for it. There is an enormous amount of energy associated with twin pairings. And this kind of partnership is very susceptible to the presence and influence of the ego.

As always, the return journey back to our Source has to begin with a free will choice that each and every one of us makes on our own. The first step of that incredible journey home occurs when we become aware of our divine connection and decide to grow spiritually. That will happen when we awaken to who we really are and then begin living it. At that moment, a very important cosmic signal is released. It not only provides the soul with a very clear direction, but it also lets the soul know in no uncertain terms that we now desire reunion with our twin. The universe will pick up this signal and do all in its power to bring the two twins together.

Keep in mind that making the decision to grow spiritually is not enough. Living your decision is the crucial part. Why? Because that is how we start to prepare ourselves for the twin reunion. All of the preparation for a lasting relationship with our twin has to take place inside of us. Much of that inner work has to do with the ego and the imperfections that come with it. Over many lifetimes we have had many opportunities to do this with our soul mate relationships. All soul mate relationships eventually lead to God-centeredness and lasting twin reunion. That is why they exist. That is why God created them.

You'll also need to know a good deal about your soul and where you are on your spiritual path. The new Aquarian insights we've been given today are radically different than the traditional, ego-based teachings we've been exposed to during the Age of Pisces. Aquarian romance is serious stuff and it requires a genuine desire to understand what it is all about.

Today's quote

" Humankind is made up of two sexes, women and men. Is it possible for humankind to grow by the improvement of only one part while the other part is ignored?
Is it possible that if half of a mass is tied to earth with chains that the other half can soar into skies? "

Eileen Caddy

Here's what Eileen Caddy, whose remarkable life story was told in her book, "Flight Into Freedom," had to say about the rising feminine energy. Keep in mind that she received many messages and visions from God throughout her lifetime...

"In a vision, I was shown a man and a woman. On the man were the words 'Light, Intellect' and on the woman, 'Love, Intuition.' I saw there was a great friction between them, even hatred and enmity. Then the woman lay submissively on the ground and the man walked all over her, wiping his feet on her.
 

I heard a voice say: 'Arise, oh woman. Be not subservient to man, for are you not his helpmate? Are you not here to complement each other and so bring unity and harmony and complete oneness?' The man must have heard the voice too, because I saw him kneel down beside the woman and gently pick her up. He removed her filthy garment and put on a pure white one.

Then I saw two great hands take the man and woman and mould them into one lump as if they were made of clay. The hands placed the clay into a potter's wheel and created a most beautifully shaped pot. I watched the pot being placed into the fire of purification. When it was taken out again, it shone brilliantly as the sun. It was so beautiful I knew only God's hands could have created it.

I now saw growing out of the pot blooms of every colour and description. I realised that was what could happen when there was no longer any division between man and woman, light and love, intellect and intuition. There will be everlasting peace and goodwill only when they come together as one."

THE RISING FEMININE ENERGY

At the beginning of every major turning point in human history, a new energy washes over our planet to bring about change. We are now leaving the age of Pisces, which has lasted some 2,160 years. The New Age of Aquarius will take its place for the same period of time. 

Slowly but surely, the cosmic influence of Aquarius will usher in harmony, peace, understanding, sharing, and an unprecedented time of love, as we wake up and realize that we are all ONE family. 

All of humanity will be affected by this change. Those whose actions are rooted in fear will have a difficult time of it. The days of ego-based thinking are over. This realization may take several generations to sink in, and become a way of life. But it will happen. Cosmic cycles are no accident. God's clock is perfect.

Over the past 50 years or so there has been an unmistakable resurgence of the feminine energy on this planet. It is all around us to wonder about, behold, appreciate, and bring into our way of being. It has been suppressed in women and men for thousands of years. The days of suppression are over. Now, men will cry more because of their greater sensitivity, and women will be honored as equals, as they should be. 

What is feminine energy?

How will it help to transform this planet?


Why will it affect women as well as men?

Each man and woman on this planet has a root gender. It was assigned to us when we lost our ways in the physical pleasures of Earth millions of years ago, as we separated into physical man and physical woman. When that happened, the predominant consciousness or polarity of physical man was masculine, but a small vestige of the feminine principle was given to him well. The reverse holds true for each woman.

Located in the left side of our brain is the masculine force. It is the part of us that is assertive, logical, analytical, doing, controlling, aggressive, striving, projecting, hard, organizing, rushing, thrusting, always pushing us to survive, and has its origin in our minds. 

The right side of the brain is feminine or that which is creative, delicate, intuitive, nurturing, receptive, tender, surrendering, synthesizing, integrating, soft, feeling, and the part of us that "knows" without explanation. Its roots reach deep into the heart. 

The feminine helps us to "be." This form of energy softens the constant male-driven "doingness" of our lives, which has become part of our misguided and relentless efforts to survive in the material world. 

The balance of the male-female polarities within each individual will also help us relax into the knowingness of who we really are. Once we begin to awaken to this knowledge, we can then decide who it is we really want to be.

The ancients say that many aeons ago it was the female energy that dominated the masculine for a very long time. Eventually, the scales tipped in favor of the male energy, and we have been experiencing that imbalance and its influence for thousands of years.



Now, the two polarities or consciousnesses must be brought together and blended until balanced and equal. The influence of Aquarius will help us do that. To be honest, it will accept nothing less.

During the spring of 2001, I looked out my kitchen window, which overlooks a field belonging to the local school.  Young children were playing baseball. There were many young girls playing side by side with the boys, and the boys really enjoyed having them be a part of it. These magnificent, Little Winged Ones know in their young and innocent hearts what's going on with regard to the rising feminine energy. They're much wiser than we realize.

There is a lot of this kind of female-male balancing taking place today all over the world. I often wonder how many people see it as a rise of the Goddess energy that is making such a big impact on the spiritual transformation of the human family, and this magnificent planet. 

Today, young fathers are mothering their children; women are stepping forward in sports, industry, politics, business, and the like. Men are creating and expressing with their heart, shedding tears, writing poetry, hugging one another. Women are stepping forward, standing on their own two feet, expressing their feelings, and being heard. It's all melding together on schedule, and speaks to the dawning of the Aquarian Age.

The men have contributed as well by allowing their feminine, creative energies to flow from their souls. It's an amazing time to be alive.We're just now getting into Aquarius. 

Today is the time for balancing our masculine and feminine energies in order to have fulfilling, romantic partnerships and long term unions with another. It is a part of being in harmony with the Aquarian forces that are lighting the way into the New Age. 

The rise in feminine energy will also bring with it the realization that what is important is not "having" but "being."


The time has come for us to stop concentrating on the external, material world for our happiness and fulfillment. In its place, the feminine will constantly remind us that we have souls; something we have forgotten for quite some time. And this will surely add to the quality of romantic unions.

The emerging Goddess energy will remind us that our Source is neither male nor female. Rather, our God is the union of all energy in the universe, both feminine and masculine.  

Indeed, we are on the brink of an exciting New Age.

Today's quote

"Look at the sun rising in the East.
I see the rising of eastern nations as I see the dawntoday. There are many brotherly nations that will gain their freedom and independence. Their re-birth will no doubt be in the direction of progress and prosperity. They will succeed despite all the difficulties and hurdles, and will reach the future that is awaiting them.
Colonialism and imperialism will disappear from the face of the earth, and they will be replaced by a harmonious co-operation era that does not discriminate between colour, religion and ethnicity of nations."
