Coming of Age in the Aquarian

Mankind is evolving in mind as well as in body. Indeed the body is a reflection of mind or consciousness.

As we enter the 2000-year span of the Age of Aguarius, we find that the ground rules are subtly different from those of the preceeding age, Pisces. Many changes since the turn of the century in 1900 indicate greater emphasis on a scientific approach to life, choosing a way of life that is more suited to one's personal needs, and redefining roles, such as God-self, man-woman, parent-child, society-individual, and so on.

To me life must be a conscious journey to have meaning. But mind must be balanced with heart.

Recorded here in this manifestation of the Aquarian age, the web-log, are personal observations, stuff found, helpful information, and the occasional point of illumination. It seems to me presenting topics and tidbits related to Aquarius, the sign, will help define what to expect in this brave new age. Also, I hope to find indicators of how the new Age is unfolding in the world around us.

Golden Rules

Here quoting Dr. Thom F. Cavalli, PH.D:

To further simplify the difficult process of transforming the lead of the natural self into the golden consciousness of the Divine Self, I offer the following fundamentals that may guide you in the work:

Consciousness is the basis for all life. When we work with consciousness alchemically, we are transforming it into matter. Be sure to get it right: matter is the result, not the cause of consciousness.
We all have lead at the center of our being, but in it are found the seeds for making gold. Generate the gold. Greet everyone silently (or openly) with the salutation, "Namaste," the god within me honors the god within you.
We all evolve and individuate and this is our destined purpose for having been born into this reality. Forgive those who are unconscious and surrender to those who have gone farther than you.
We are all one and many emanations of the One Thing. Spirit and manner are only two aspects of this supreme reality. See with your middle eye.
The act of transforming reality gives meaning to our lives, to the world and the universe simultaneously!
The time to act is now. The present is the portal to infinity. It is where everything comes together, and therefore can be transmuted. Be fierce, be ready to live in this presence. Life is a paradox that can only be understood through the imaginal mind. It is a trick and a treat. Imagine That!
