Today is a spe­cial day for anoth­er, more hid­den or eso­teric rea­son. It is always around this date that the Sun, our home star, aligns with the cen­ter of our Milky Way galaxy. From that cen­ter, great flows of ener­gy come and go, like the beat­ing heart of a great being…which, of course, the Milky Way is!

The pic­ture above is a mod­el of what this looks like. Our solar sys­tem and Sun are slight­ly above the Galac­tic Plane and the white band from top left to bot­tom right is…The Milky Way, which is formed by us gaz­ing into the heart of our galaxy. Exact­ly six months from now, you will be able to look up at the night sky and see the Milky Way much like this spread across the late spring sky.

Today, Sun­day, (the Sun’s day!), the Earth, Sun and the Milky Way’s cen­ter point, our wheels wheel­ing with­in wheels, align with one anoth­er. The Milky Way is about 100,000 Light years across, and we on Earth are about 27,000 Light Years from that cen­ter point. The Sun and our solar sys­tem make one com­plete rev­o­lu­tion around the Milky Way in  about 235 mil­lion years…which is our Galac­tic “Year”.

So turn towards the Sun today and know that you are turn­ing towards the first “laya cen­ter” of your galaxy; you are look­ing towards the mys­tery, to the heart of your cosmos…

From that cen­ter, long, long ago, a pil­grim­age began…an invo­lu­tion of Spir­it, which moved across the “Waters” and so there was “Light”. That jour­ney, this unfold­ment of Spir­it-Mat­ter is the pil­grim­age of all the ones of the One…and it is your jour­ney in Life-Consciousness-Spirit…

And it is beautiful!
