This Lunation will allow the efficiency of Light to shape our more perfect expression in the world to demonstrate the possibility of Being that higher Life.

It does seem to be a time when our feelings are more aroused in many ways, and so we become more emotionally and mentally alert for signals that let our subconscious mind know we’re on to something. But what are they really?
