Warm Greetings in 2011.
Throughout human history, when great upheavals have occurred and the future has appeared uncertain, people have always turned to prophecy. Unlike previous cycles in history, however, ours is an unprecedented time. We are facing a critical turning-point in human and planetary evolution.
One prophecy from the modern wisdom teachings seems especially germane to this moment:
| |
The Scriptures of the world have ever prophesied that, at the end of the age, we shall see the revelation of that which is secret and the emergence of that which has hitherto been concealed, into the light of day. |
|
The meaning of this statement, one of many predictions that appear throughout the books transmitted to Alice Bailey by the Tibetan Master, has been coming into clearer focus recently. That which has been concealed from humanity, and is now being revealed to many, is the reality of the human Soul.
The fact that we are essentially beings of energy and light—living in an interconnected universe of energy and light—is central to the wisdom teachings. This idea is now spreading beyond esoteric circles and emerging “into the light of day” through mass media, both new and old.
Over a half-century ago it was predicted that with the approach of the Aquarian Age, we would discover our true nature as spiritual beings. Now, especially over the course of this past year, there are proliferating signs that humanity is awakening to the reality of the Soul and its inner world. In a new series of articles this year, we will explore these signs and various predictions about the Age of the Soul made by the Tibetan Teacher.
We invite you to join us as we journey through these prophetic times.
In spiritual companionship,
Nancy Seifer and Martin Vieweg
For many of us, living through this time of transition is like living inside of a Mystery Play. We can see what is ending and can glimpse new shoots of life, but the near-term future remains an enigma.
The ability to see the larger picture is the gift of the Ageless Wisdom. Through the lens of these teachings, we are able to recognize the new shoots of life as the birth of the human soul—an "event" that augurs the complete transformation of life on our planet.
Humanity's spiritual awakening is central to the divine plan of evolution, in which we are destined to become a conscious link in the Chain of Being. Awakening leads to the process that transforms us into spiritual beings, enabling us to fulfill our part in the divine plan. As the soul, the true Self, gains control of life it transforms the lead of dense material living into the gold of spiritual realization—becoming the true "Philosopher's Stone."
Until now, unawakened humanity has been the missing link in the chain of conscious evolution. With the touch of the Philosopher's Stone (the agent of soul realization), the seemingly separate kingdoms of life on Earth will be transformed into a conscious chain of light.
At the start of 2010 we began an exploration of the beauty and magic of this unfolding plan. Our themes include:
- the Plan of Evolution (as revealed in the Ageless Wisdom)
- the great Chain of Being with a sleeping humanity as its "missing link"
- forging that link and transforming our world
- the awakening soul as the Philosopher's Stone
To read this series of articles click on "The Divine Plan," "The Chain of Being," "Forging the Link," and "The Soul as Philosopher's Stone."
When the Soul Awakens was written to provide a ground of understanding for this new time. It is our sincere hope that this book, along with the many articles based on the Ageless Wisdom at this website, may serve you as you as we all journey further into the mysteries of the new era.
The broader purpose of this website is to help "lighten" the difficult passage from an age of materialism into an age of spirituality by offering the perspective of the Ageless Wisdom. From this perspective, the portal through which we must pass on the journey to higher consciousness is the soul, or higher Self of a human being. The awakening and flowering of the collective human soul will inevitably give rise to a new civilization and culture.
As this transition time unfolds, we hope that this website will engage your mind, heart and soul. In these pages you'll find articles written by us on the journey of transformation and the shift in perspective that occurs when the soul awakens and the inner eye opens.
You will also find extraordinary writings, art works and insights contributed by kindred souls—part of a "wisdom exchange" to help us navigate these difficult times. Please visit Signs of Aquarius, In Transition, and Shared Wisdom.
We invite you to explore this site by visiting the many pages listed to your left. And if the spirit moves you, we invite you to make a contribution to our wisdom exchange. All essays, poems and images that shed light on these transformative times are welcome. Through a sharing of knowledge and inspiration from a wide range of perspectives, we hope to generate greater light and mutual understanding—forging together a deeper sense of spiritual community as we move through this period of transition and rebirth.
