Every age, like every person, has a story of transformation to tell. Eventually, an age is known and remembered by the characteristics that described its evolution, its people, and the Spirit of Transformation that guided it from beginning to end. It takes approximately one thousand years for an age to begin to describe itself in both form and formlessness, creating an architecture by which the Collective Soul of the age begins to unfold. The next thousand years or so, generally speaking, are spent developing the art, science and culture of its Collective Spirit, that which lives and breathes the as yet unspoken name of the age itself.

The story of an age is written by its people and by the experiences they invite, and each person is credited with authorship based upon their own soul's development within that age. For instance, a soul with many purposeful incarnations within a given age may accumulate greater knowledge with respect to the kind of transformation the particular age might offer. How each soul positions itself to take advantage of what is offered is on an individual basis, and as always, infinite guidance exists in this regard.

Individuals are not experts in all fields and neither are souls in how they relate to the wisdom offered by each age. Your own memories will substantiate these words, as will your approval or disapproval of the historic accomplishments of each age. Experience is written into the Soul whenever the Spirit of Awareness breathes life into a moment, but history like art, is remaindered to those who work subjectively after the fact. Because of this spiritual phenomenon you cannot accurately recall the true significance of the Age of Atlantis, the Age of Lemuria, or many of the other transformational feats accredited to the collective Age of Man. For instance, you remember Atlantis as the age in which technological man gave in to reason and caused its own demise. You remember Lemuria as the age in which physical/nonphysical man lived in harmony with the natural world. While these descriptions are true, they do not define the age or the humanity that defined them.

The Age of Man is the collective span in which Spirit has expressed itself in and through the human experience. This spans many, many ages as you might imagine, and throughout each age humanity has continued to unfold its own collective and individual story. Towards the end of each age individual stories somehow begin to coalesce, as if humanity's collective soul must be in agreement as to what is written on the remaining chapters of the current age. And because beginnings and endings are somewhat related, the eve of the next story can already almost be perceived by those who have already begun to tell it by living it.

This age, that in which your experience currently dwells, now nears its completion - but its story is yet unfinished. In literary terms humanity's story in this age could be described as a cliffhanger, in which the ending is left teasingly unresolved until the very end. In this case, because the author and the reader are one and the same, both are eager to discover what will happen next, the moment tense and the situation suspenseful. Dramatic by nature, telluric man is yet quite young as measured by this solar system, and younger still as measured by the stars on the further edges of the galaxy.

The final chapters of this age will be written by your resources and by your ability to draw upon them. You will test your resolve in physical and nonphysical ways alike. You will have an opportunity to examine and develop your courage, your will and your wit in most areas of life. You will ask more of yourselves and each other now than you have asked yet, but not more than you will be willing to give, because there is always more to give at the end of an age than at any other time. Previously unimagined resources are at your disposal, because you will soon imagine them as possible rather than impossible. As these are revealed, you will come to know yourselves much more than you do today. It is important that you see the future as infinite, and infinitely available to you, for where you see it as limited it will become so. Even infinity can be expressed by different degrees and different orders or sets.

The universe is ordered in sequences that can be mathematically expressed by numbers. Numbers as integers can be positively, negatively and neutrally expressed, but it is more natural for a number to expressed in its positive form. The same is true of experience. While humanity is capable of expressing itself in its most negative fashion, it is more natural and creative for it to express itself in its more positive element. The numbered universe can be expressed rationally by quotients, and irrationally by numbers such as pi and the square root of two. The golden ratio, by which much of nature is defined, is irrational as explained by mathematics, yet your future depends upon it.

As light defines all things it will soon define language as well. Entire new languages, some of them telepathic, are about to unfold. Some of these languages are dimensional, or non-linear, and were previously thought improbable, to say the least. The mind of man is finite, but the thoughts it can contemplate are infinite - this is what your some of your new languages will teach you. The new languages will be based upon a scientific model of a 'whole thinking mind' or a mind that assumes that negative and positive thoughts both originate as one until they become separated or acted upon by the third dimension. Once this premise has been accepted, the next step will be for science to look for the dimension(s) that have inspired whole thoughts. New frontiers in neuro-science await those with courageously open minds. The same is true of medical science and religious/spiritual science, as one will open the door to the next. Soon you will see that hungry minds in one part of the globe will feed hungry stomachs elsewhere. There is a revolution taking place in all fields where evolution is concerned, but evolution is now accelerating much faster than those who study or explain it.

If you wish, you can assist the collective mind of man, be it great or small, by allowing your mind the freedom and mobility to move beyond as many beliefs and belief systems as possible. There is little that is more limiting than a limited mind. Beliefs reign all to frequently, even within higher-minded communities and those of open thought. The New Age is no exception here, and is sometimes all too quick to grasp hold of a thought or a deed, especially if it believes it is for the greater good of all concerned. Shall we visit a few examples?

The natural world is based upon the natural needs of the kingdoms and elements of the earth, and earth changes, even those of a disastrous sort are neither uncommon nor unwarranted at the end of an age. It is best to be guided by your own evolutional mind, that which already dwells in the future, in all decisions regarding diverting these energies elsewhere. While I do not endorse enduring the unnecessary, it is equally unnecessary to use your energies (and that of others) to direct or disperse these energies elsewhere. Are you certain where you are sending them? In the case of a hurricane, as you send it away from land and back out to sea are you certain that you are not directing these energies to where they will gather greater force? Or to where merchant and pleasure ships are navigating? It is well to explore the subject of directing energies with an open mind, but to do so equitably requires a mind that is empty of fear and clear in how to replace one energy with another. Likewise, in replacing a negative thought with an empty thought, what is truly accomplished? Make your thoughts and clear and mighty by marking all possibilities as viable and trusting in the perfection of the moment as it is presented. The kingdoms and elements are your partners, they do not require your saving them and they have done little to engender your mistrust. Foolhardy are those who set themselves above natural law. Be humble in your sayings and doings and therefore well-protected in all things. Be wary of those who remark upon their feats in this or other areas for the arrow often misfires and the target is a movable one!

Have you sent light to a worthy individual or a worthwhile cause? Do you know exactly what it means to send light? Are you not also made of light? To send light means to send a part of yourself - the part of yourself that is most interested and involved in the moment or the cause. To send light does not diminish you, but it does invest you in the thought or the event. Light is a very powerful tool; it is the very building block of the universe and of your own vital DNA. Every age has its own colloquial language, a jargon or pattern of speech that links a people or group with their beliefs. Light, perhaps more than any other word, exemplifies this pattern for those who identify with its present meaning. So be it! Yet this is more than a mere word. It is the very glue that enfolds the integrity of the universe. Light and All That Is are synonymous. Together, They are One, and you are One in Their name. Light is nameless because its source of origin is also Nameless. Likewise, there is a part of you that is so bright as to be nameless light, therefore do not call upon Light or give it frivolously without first noting that you are as inseparable from Light as from your soul. Do not send Light where you are unwilling to go and do send it thinking it goes instead of you. To send Light is to send your Self. If you send light in protest you go with the protest and as the protest. If you send light to heal you go as healing and with healing. Too many send light as if it were a get well card, something they send in place of themselves. You cannot make a donation of light as if to a charity because you are the light and the donation and the charitable soul and the recipient of that charity. Simply know that you are never, ever separate from what you are and you are Light.

Do you still live and work and relate to others in old paradigm thought? Of course you do, and appropriately so. Do not be in too big a hurry to dismiss the old for the new. The new paradigm is already replete with its own jargon, but most of it has simply been transposed from the old paradigm, because that is where most of your Beingness yet dwells. It is well and good to invite the new and to welcome it into your lives, but not at the expense of those who yet slumber and those who endeavor to awake. This is not the time abandon your brethren, even those who have forsaken you and ridiculed your new paradigm beliefs - they are beliefs after all, no more and no less. All beliefs are but suppositions of thought, even those that are most open-ended. Any belief, old or new, wise or foolish, is a limitation on possibility. Some are already planning their lives after 2012! Live for today first, sleep the good rest of the shepherd tonight that tomorrow your eyes will be clear. The future is yet unmade and the new paradigm ensures that it will remain that way. I offer you this paradox: If you are certain that you are living in the new paradigm then you certainly are not. And if you are certain that you are not, then you might be. To solve this paradox live in the moment that is today and look yonder for news of tomorrow.

If you must believe in something, then believe in yourselves first. The stars are not numbered and neither is the wisdom that is yours to gather. The good works and deeds of others are worthy of your interest, but do not place others' truths above your own, for once you are beneath them it will be much harder to rise above them once again. Be respectful, inquisitive and mindful in your pursuit of wisdom, do not tarry or delay in acquiring that which is already waiting for you. Unless you are in apprenticeship to another, advance as your own pace dictates. Neither credit nor discredit another, they will do this themselves without your assistance. Cleanse others of their wounds, be they physical or emotional, and dress them if you will, but see as well how many reinflict the same wound upon themselves if only to lament it twice. Have the good word of wisdom ready to share with others, but have its silent companion nearby as well. You will not know until the moment itself which counsel is more appropriate. Trust in the simple more than the sensational, but be in awe of both. Look as far into the heavens as the depth of your heart allows.
