There is a petition you can sign that condemns the violence now taking place in Tibet. The Dalai Lama has called for restraint and dialogue. Our collective voice could help. If you would like more information go to www.avaaz.org/en/tibet_end_the_violence/6.php

As we enter the Aquarian age, continuing to raise our consciousness ever higher, we must honour the feminine to restore the balance of our world. We badly need to nurture and care for all things, for the whole of our universal family.

"Imagine being part of a great planetary circle committed to life and wholeness. Imagine joining hands with others like you who are seeking wholeness and healing for their own selves and others.

There seem to me to be great parallels between New Age thinking regarding initiations through the various dimensions to ascension and beyond, and that of the North American Indian tradition of the medicine wheel. The following excerpts are taken from Jamie Sams' book Dancing the Dream, coming mainly from the Seneca Indians' beliefs, and The Beginner's Guide to the Path of Ascension by Dr. Joshua Stone.

TODAY:

I will take time to be silent, just to be;

I will take time to commune with nature and to silently witness the intelligence of every living thing;

I will practise non-judgment;

I will give something positive to everyone I come into contact with;

I will gratefully accept all the gifts life has to offer me;

"Spread the word of the dawning of new light. It is ancient, yet it is new. The tides are turning on a new phase of life itself. A new sanity will reign once more, heralded in by this new light of maternity that is bequeathing humanity with a reawakening of a new sensibility. This is the dawning of true compassion, mixed with leadership, where the feminine will reign once more.

Ancient prayer,translated from Sanskrit

Lead me from the unreal to the real
Lead me from darkness to light
Lead me from death to immortality

Asato ma sad gamaya
Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya
Mrtyor ma 'mrtam gamaya

Song for the Journey by Josie Tamarin taken from The Way of the Shaman by Michael Harner

"The eagle soars into turquoise and indigo
catching gold on white tipped feathers in cadence of wind and stillnesses
singing and swooping with currents and storms alone, the far-seer, sky dancer.

It's funny how you learn something new intellectually but then it kind of beds in later on and becomes a "knowing". I'm learning so much, so fast about my own tiny, unique spark of consciousness incarnated here on earth for a brief moment, this time around.

At the time of writing this I have been part of this network for 7 weeks 5 hours and I think I can honestly say it's already changed my life. In the real world even my closest friends are not really on the same page as me when it comes to the spiritual path but they do their best to be supportive because we care for each other.
