Autumn and Winter 2006-2007 - We Live In Times of Dynamic Change

by Robert Wilkinson

As we live in this “before the beginning” period of time, with present and past eclipses taking much away, I know that many are uncertain if the changes presented to us will prove to be beneficial or difficult, since the general atmosphere is fairly crazy due to The Grand Irrationality. The vision and archetypes presented to us in Libra will soon give way to powers and magnetism, losses and attractions to fill the voids when Scorpio predominates, and the major conjunction of the Sun with Venus and Mars will perfect our understanding while opening a new level of life and relationships.

Remember we’re still dealing with the Jupiter square Saturn for the next few weeks, showing a major gear grind in the political and social arenas. All of us are having to search for creative challenges, align our values with our standards, our vision with our ability to persevere in making that vision concrete, and find a way to get beyond the discouraging, deadening inertia of the world as it is.

I reminded a client today that ultimately we need to be preparing for things to come, since much that we take for granted today will not be so a dozen years from now. This is the time to reorient toward new ways of living, new relationships, and new ways to develop and practice your strength, skills, and knowledge so that you serve some need of your place and times.

We are learning to adapt, whether we want to or not. By opening to living a dynamic, active quest, we won’t suffer through getting stuck in fears and obsolete visions and interpretations. Open to your future! You are on a journey. Where are you going? You can choose what that looks like, and how it will unfold, through using your gift of imagination.

By learning to think in the future, we can begin to create our vision of what that might look like, and be able to recognize opportunities to move toward that vision, step by step. Along the way we will meet allies and friends who will show us the next steps to take. Though life on Earth is ever uncertain, we are Eternals who are learning to BE our Highest Self every time we’re given the chance.

In America, we face a time of major political, economic, and environmental upheaval, which of course will impact the world in many ways. The model the world has created is unsustainable, whether the current political models, social service models, or crisis response models. We are in the midst of a huge collision of belief systems that cuts across all parts of our reality. Again, remember that the last time The Grand Irrationality gripped our planet was the decade of the 1930’s, a very peculiar and difficult time in world history.

While the times are unsettling, they are also the edge of dynamic change. We are moving quickly into the end of the old era, if we are to believe the Mayan calendar, the Great Pyramid timeline, and numerous other portents from our past that point to this time as being one of major transformation for all of us. That’s why it’s useful to take a broad view of the changes, take nothing personally, and try to discern how to adapt to become more effective and aware as the changes unfold.

The changes are occurring whether we approve of them or not. However, the powerlessness that has gripped humanity, the slumbering conscience of billions of Souls, will not be so easily distracted in the future. Though humanity truly seems to be a spiritual adolescent with dulled senses on information overload, we also have an amazing heritage, fantastic knowledge, and a limitless future. That said, as in other times when we lived through “the end of an era,” we approach a period when we will not be able to coast through the changes, ignoring our common humanity and the lessons to learn around compassion, connectedness, community, and selfless service.

That is why we must make ourselves strong in our resolve to persevere in living our Highest Self, our Loving Wisdom, and be intelligent in our actions. As we move through these irrational and uncertain times, if we keep our hearts and minds open to the magic of magnetic attraction, we will find our community and learn a better way to live on this Earth in the future, long after the current mess passes away into the sands of time.

Robert,

Once again your words and wisdom on the essence of these irrational times is invaluable. The past few years have tossed me into a crazy Spiritual Path of radical transformation and energy trasmutation - as the lens of my perception has lost the cataracts of density only to be overwhlemed by the intuitive blasts of complex ontological assessments. I wrote a poem that I felt I should share given these times and the Higher Self that must be honoured as it bubbles up from the infinite depths. I hope you don't mind. Peace to you and the Light you spread and inspire. Namaste. Carson

Freedom's Call

Freedom calls, horizons to chase
Skins to shed, fears to face
Mysteries perplex, thoughts to the void
Patience to nurture, lest be annoyed

For I do not yearn to spend my days
Drifting and lost in a mindless haze
Yet, to experience the depth of feelings in full
We must leave the beach, to the riptide, its pull

Shaken from core
Drained body sore
Outworn patterns break down
As root chakra rises to crown

Vibrations of Light give rise to this place
The beauty surrounds, bringing smiles to our face
All is not lost despite what it seems
For time grows reality from the seeds of our dreams

[Annie]

Thank you Robert. Thank you Carson. I know this is all so too. It strengthens me to be reminded that others share this awareness of the times we are moving through. Bless you both.

Is having long held dreams broken a part of finding what's really good for us... because in the last year, everything that I have held in a cherished place in my heart has either been lost or broken away from my life ? After reading your article, it just struck home to me .. how much old dreams really bind us to a certain way of life... or maybe I'm just rationalising ? :-) Thank you Robert ... just reading your thoughts gives me a lens to watch my topsy turvy world right itself again...

Love

Hi Carson - Thanks for the creative burst. You have many layers of imagery that stimulate the imagination, truly the foundation of future reality born from "the seeds of our dreams." Thanks for stopping by and offering a comment that may awaken others to their higher nature.

Hi Annie - It's great to remember that we are a global family, and are not as separate as we sometimes feel. Community and connectedness are vital for the human spirit, and we shall know how much we need these as the present era transforms. Find your allies and true friends, and start creating a better future, and nature herself will rise up and support your efforts.

Hi Sophie - Yes, our nature is to cling to echoes of memories of perceptions of memories of perceptions of... We cannot lose what truly belongs to us and has relevance in our lives, nor can we hold on to that which as used up its potential. "The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on."

I have lost many cherished things and people in this transitory life, and though difficult, it is necessary to create the space so we may face our future anew. Our dreams DO bind us, until we are unbound by time, another's free will, or our own evolutionary necessity. I'm glad my posts offer a lens to view this bizarre and quickly moving reality with some degree of confidence, and you may find that many share the "topsy turvy" perspective of this strange time with you. And it's nice to remember that there is much we are making as we pass through each day, and won't know the harvest until we get down the road a ways.

Sigh...write so beautifully... thank you for giving us morsels from your fount of wisdom Robert... you are an immense comfort..
It is true... in the passage of time, everything we do is but a speck of experience...

Regards,
Sophie

Example:
I understood my purpose today (Scorpio) as I sat at a gas station, the hairs all over my body charged for...something...but I was calm as well, meditated earlier in the morning. A womem's car broke down. I fixed it. In the interrum she kept repeating "thank God you were here." With no pride, and a realization that helping people is only the natural expression of who we are, we both, were exalted. This is a glimpse of what will come- when my part is done- you guys return the favor.

Love,
Don.

I'm ready.........

[Larissa Pond]

When reasoning is exhausted, I am ready for anything, especially when Robert said that the changes are occurring whether we approve of them or not. They always occur without our approval, don't they? Its us who think that we make those changes. Might as well, let them come, if you can't stop the process anyway.

You're all very beautiful. Simply put: it's great not to be alone in these times when we have to act as a group. If we all put our minds onto the same thing in the same moment - it'd happen. Patience is the key.....untill one day we'll all be just - ready. (I was born ready anyway ;)

[Robert]

Hi again Sophie - Thanks for your compliments. Sometimes I'm in complete awe of Divine workings, especially when we are co-operators of the execution of a better way, whether we know it or not. And we are truly "merest specks in the ocean of life," as I wrote in one of my songs years ago.

Hi Don - We can all be angels of serendipity if we stay alert to the service we could do for others. And I do believe it's in the small things that we give hope to others and ourselves that it's not all just one big bare knuckle reality. Your comment reminds me of the phrase "pass it forward..."

Hi carrie ann - It is in the striving to be ready for what will come that we move into a greater potential than we've dreamed up to that point. The creative tension actually attracts exactly what we need to fulfill whatever it's about, which yields an energetic result that begins to attract that which will be perfect for our evolution in the future. All of this seems to show how the Cosmic "Laws" of Magnetic Attraction, Synthesis, and Economy of Energy all work together to bring forth greater and greater things for each of us, and all of us.

Hi Larissa - The changes occur because everything's in dynamic motion, both the visible and invisible. I will add that while some things will occur without our approval or input, we can steer many of those changes in the direction of our higher intention. We can stop certain processes, and probably should. These are the karmas that were created in the past, whether this life or another. I believe we must greet them to fulfill them while transmuting the energies so we don't have to go through that particular set of circumstances again. We may have to suffer the consequences of past causes occasionally, but we can shift our response so that we greet life with strengths and skills in the future.

Hi Ana - Yes, I believe we are a global community, and devices like the internet demonstrate we're not as isolated as we sometimes feel. You're right that if we could all concentrate in harmony toward a single purpose, miracles and wonder could come forth. That's why patience is the key, in that eventually we find others in our Soul "cluster" and come together in various combinations to achieve our group purpose.

Robert,

Thanks for your response to my question the other day. But more than that I want to thank you for your input and writings about so many things that I have pushed to the back of my mind for so long, for who knows what reason. I believe that I came upon your information for a reason, and I trust that it has awoke something in me again, and that it will help me get back into the saddle again after being “almost in a sleep” for some time now.

Regards, Cindy

[Robert]

Hi Cindy - You're welcome. We all get to rest from time to time, recharging our magnetism before we are offered another chance to "get back into the saddle."
