HOLIDAY THOUGHTS IN A CHANGING WORLD
Now we have an ideal battle between gentle and darkness. Beneath the floor, the sunshine is successful however the media doesn’t need to let go of its ranking, and worry and corruption are bought. Nonetheless, we all the time just like the Solar in Sagittarius to heat vacation hearts, and the Mula Nakshatra planets remind us to show to God, now we’ve got the Solar there and Mercury on this constellation for a very long time of time till mid-January and Mars will move there Dec. 27-Jan. 14th. All around the world, nice gurus and avatars are working to create a greater planet. Now we have a sense that darkish forces will make their look, since you’ll be able to't violate the legal guidelines of nature endlessly and get away with it.
I believe all of the worry of battle forces us to reevaluate our lives. Listed below are a few of my ideas:
1) We’re right here to take pleasure in ourselves and never work in our graves. The financial system and the fabric realm of wishes push us to surrender valuable bonding time with family and friends. Seniors getting ready to graduate are sometimes requested what their remorse is that they labored an excessive amount of and didn't spend sufficient time with their households.
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. Will we make the identical errors again and again and get up in the identical dangerous dream we’re caught in or will we make new decisions and get up reborn, with a brand new lifetime of pleasure and enthusiasm? If we’ve got dangerous relationship karma, will we settle for accountability for what we did incorrect and do higher this time?
3) We should be conscious and never make the identical errors, which implies selecting kindness and compassion over blame and fault-finding and complaining. In the event you're not prepared to repair it and do one thing about it, you haven’t any proper to complain endlessly.
4) We should train moral judgment. In a Rahu age the place dishonest corruption and scamming are the norm, we should attempt to do the appropriate factor even when it isn’t straightforward. I miss these tales within the information the place individuals discover misplaced cash and discover a solution to hint it again to the proprietor and get it again.
5) Now we have to seek out Jupiter and defeat Rahu and never settle for corruption in authorities as a norm. We should re-teach ethical values at house and within the classroom and never let our kids be corrupted by the violence and celebration of evil that has turn into the norm on tv. It's time to show off the TV, let your little one solely play yard video games with different children, get them away from violent video video games and cell telephones, and return to previous values.
6) We should return to simplicity, look after individuals and share, and never spend our time hiding in our addictions, asleep to violent tv and discovering time to make a distinction within the lives of others.
7) We’re right here to apply kindness and compassion. I keep in mind an exquisite story by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross who interviewed somebody who skilled dying after which got here again and was revived on the working desk. She remembers seeing her complete life displayed and reviewed earlier than her as she ascended, however she was solely proven the moments when she practiced unconditional love and kindness. He remembered serving to a woman in a wheelchair at an in a single day camp and conserving her firm when everybody went on a hike and his sacrifice and love have been a great reminder.
All of this requires making main modifications, selecting new patterns, and creating new paths in our lives. It may be carried out, but it surely takes aware effort and lively selection. We should be alert and awake to take action.
We’re right here on this planet, to present 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 lives numbing ourselves to our emotional ache and harming anybody or something, or spend our time denouncing others or demonizing others who don’t share the our standpoint
A little bit yoga, meditation, conscious consciousness and conscious motion could make all of the distinction. Discover time to vary
I like this excellent message from Yogananda in regards to the delivery of Christ at Christmas and it jogs my memory of the necessity for rebirth presently of 12 months. No matter faith you’re linked to, the significance of the rebirth of our inside Divinity is vital presently of 12 months when the nights are very lengthy and the Solar takes longer to rise within the morning.
Paramahansa Yogananda:
Each day, each hour, each golden second, Christ has been calling… Now, on this august sacred daybreak, Christ comes particularly in response to your inside name, to awaken His omnipresence of Christ Consciousness inside you.
This Christ in all places is sleeping within the bosom of Eternity; He likes to have a brand new delivery anytime and anyplace, particularly within the heat of your true affection. Though the Infinite Christ is current at each level in house because the radiance of ever-new knowledge and inventive expression, you’ll be able to by no means see Him until He chooses to be seen within the cradle of your unceasing devotion. Your coronary heart's cozy cradle has lengthy been small, holding on to self-love; now you need to make it enormous, in order that the social, nationwide, worldwide and cosmic love of Christ will be born there and turn into a Love.
The Infinite Christ is in all places; worship his nativity in Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Jewish and different true non secular temples. Each expression of Reality flows from the all-pervading notion of Christ, so be taught to worship this sacred Common Intelligence in each pure faith, perception, and instructing. Because the Cosmic Christ dreamed into existence the divine being that’s man, it’s best to have fun the delivery of Christ in your newly woke up egalitarian love for all nationalities and races.
