Reflections on the Year's End and the Divine Balance
Reflect upon the year's passage and the divine balance within all things. Time moves swiftly for humanity, yet our essence remains. We experience thoughts, both positive and negative, which color our five layers of being. Humans possess a unique capacity for spiritual wisdom and bliss, accessing the endless. Consider how much true spiritual goodness—unity and bliss—you have lived through your body, mind, and energy this year. Consider how many you have helped. People dominate earthly activity, yet often lack contentment. Animals live with equanimity, but humans measure time in years and months. Today is this year's final full moon. Look at its light and spots; each sees according to how they have lived. The moon maintains a divine balance, waxing and waning in a fourteen-day cycle. This balance is essential, like a weight on an airplane or the harmony in a family. Our spiritual energy, like the hair tied together, must be gathered to retain harmony. The universe and everything within it, including our body and soul, is round like an egg. From the egg comes the feminine principle. We ourselves are divine, but we have lost connection to our inner light. We name God in many ways, yet God-consciousness resides within us, though we are not yet fully aware. Every month holds two divine festivals: the Full Moon and the New Moon. Our feelings for these ceremonies must be made sacred. Few in the world pray daily. Remember God: ask forgiveness for negatives and dedicate your good deeds to all. I wish for no negative vibrations to enter your mind or heart. This is spirituality. Many animals are slaughtered, which is negative. Many are becoming vegetarian. Every person who chooses this path saves lives. We must progress and plant seeds of goodness.
"Every thought imparts a color to the body, to our energies, into our mind, our knowledge, and our bliss."
"The moon maintains equality, the balance.
