APOCALYPSE NOW: THE AGE OF AQUARIUS

The word ‘apocalypse’, which is often used as a fear-invoking way of referring to the 'end of times', is actually a Greek word that simply means ‘unveiling’...this current time/season is, in fact, an apocalypse, but not in the popularized negative sense...the era in which we are living is a time for an unveiling of truth...

Jesus talked about 'the end of the age', not the end of the world, as so many theologians who have taken His words out of context have said...

The Mayans weren't really wrong about 2012...as I understand it, they weren't predicting that the end of the world was going to happen a couple of years ago as much as they were predicting a shift in cosmic consciousness ("the knowledge of the Lord shall fill all the earth as the waters cover the sea")...

What the prophet Joel saw as a time in which the Spirit would be poured out on all flesh is perhaps what astrologers call the dawning of the Age of Aquarius (who pours water out of an urn)...and that began, as I understand it, around 2012...

Just as Toto pulled back the curtain to reveal the truth about the Wizard, we too are being shown the reality of our own power...in that classic story (parable), Dorothy’s companions came to the realization that the great and mighty Oz was nothing more than a deceitful and fearful human being, and that their own personal power had always resided within...

The same is true for us (Paul talked about Christ being revealed IN HIM when he was finally separated from his religious tradition)...as the truth unveils itself into our awareness, all untruths are passing away, and we are finding ourselves having to see things for what they actually are for the first time...in a word, it's the greatest time to be alive...there is certainly so much in the world that needs improvement, and if you choose to have a world-view that sees the glass half-empty, you can find a lot to get depressed about...but everywhere I look I see improvement...I see possibilities...I see awareness...I see opportunity...and I believe that it's only going to get better...have a beautiful day...
