Ralph Waldo Emerson's Enlightened Transcendentalism

by Robert Wilkinson

Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of the most amazing beings to grace 19th century America, and as I mentioned in this article on communing with the source of Divine inspiration, "he... gave young America intellectual and philosophical credibility and direction." His wisdom is profound, practical, and still very relevant in our irrational world. Today we explore some things he said about "Self-Reliance."

We Live On the Edge of Change at the Dawning of a New Age

by Robert Wilkinson

There is not a moment in life when things are not changing. Though we long for comfort and predictability, still events move forward within the medium we call time. Time is how we measure our experience, our movement between understandings and points of view, and ultimately the means by which we learn to live in the NOW.

Creation Mythology, Elohim, and Star Beings

by Robert Wilkinson

John Lennon once sang that we are "super stars." From the Magic of Space, we are told our origins are more noble than imagined, and that we are part of a greater thought-form of a higher spiritual Love-Light by Celestial Beings, some of whom are hinted at in legend, mythology, and holy books. All is consciousness, some greater, some lesser, some solar, some galactic.

The Nature of Human Reality

by Robert Wilkinson

It is useful in the middle of the radical changes we're all going through to remember that we are Eternal Beings having human experiences. What we must go through fulfills the law of our being and actualizes old karmic lessons while offering us opportunities to transmute our response so we don't have to go through them again.

Why Are Two People With the Same Birthday so Different?

by Robert Wilkinson

It seems that yesterday's post has stirred the pot of infinite questions, and offers us the topic for today. A reader asked how two people who share the same birthday could be "complete opposites in everything except determinedness and wanting our own way." Without giving away anything personal I can say the question was asked by an Aquarius. So just why are two people born the same day so different, and what would such a contact mean?

Why Are Two People With the Same Sun Sign So Different?

by Robert Wilkinson

A fan asked me the question, "Have any idea what affects differences within the same sign?" She wrote (edited for brevity), "I am a Scorpio and I have friends and family members who also are Scorpios. Typically we get along well and in a lot of ways are similar. But... there is this person who is a Scorpio and not at all similar to the rest of us... I'm just wondering if this has to do with the year, the particular time of month or which month (Oct/Nov) he was born in..." A great question, and one I've heard expressed by many. What does make two people of the same Sun sign different?

Brotherhood - A Fellowship of Cooperation

by Robert Wilkinson

Here's another gem from "Brotherhood," of the remarkable Agni Yoga series. Today's offering may help clarify the bond that unites all who share a dedication to making a better world. I chose the title in the interest of moving beyond gender distinctions, as I believe that Fellowship is a valid substitute for the conceptual terms "Brotherhood" and "Sisterhood."

Fear Is A Dangerous Disease

by Robert Wilkinson

From The Magic of Space, some words of assistance for overcoming this crippling, destructive emotional virus while learning to be more conscious of your power to turn your mind toward beneficial things. This will be a critical skill in the coming period. A sample: "You are given the power of intelligence to choose those things to which you wish to respond. Your development will depend a great deal upon how you are able to choose the unseen vibrations. No one is immune to vibrations, whether he is conscious of them or not."

Astrology and the New Age - The Big Picture, Pt. 1

by Robert Wilkinson

Reflecting on some vast cycles of time, I note that we are within a span that only happens about once every 5 centuries or so, with a few variations. The outer planets, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, move very slowly, and correlate with larger spans of human history. They are symbols of greater change across generations, and across centuries. Which sign they are in shows what is revolutionizing, what is dissolving, and what is purifying across humanity as a whole. When they all are within a certain span, it seems that interesting changes and mutations in social-cultural manifestations occur more than at other times.

Nature or Nurture? - Heredity from a Cosmic Point of View

by Robert Wilkinson

From The Magic of Space, another gem for your consideration. It's all about how you relate to you, your parents, your inherited lineage, and some other beautiful things to consider. For a much larger view on what's happening regarding your cosmic inheritance, read on.
