Alignment…Attunement…Atonement…The Path

Four Por­tals on this path of Light,

That spi­ral Cir­cle of Spirit,

Your Path­way of Becoming.

You go round and around,

Seek­ing, striv­ing, reaching.

At each Por­tal, an End­ing and Beginning,

As Sea­sons Pass Away.

A time to Pause, Con­sid­er and Remember,

That there is but one way.

For the Path of Light is found by,

Alignment…Attunement…Atonement.

For you are endowed with Self-Aware­ness, you have the pow­er of choice…and you will choose, for you must learn to choose what is true, to know what is good, and you will learn to choose love.

You will walk for a while upon that seem­ing­ly eas­i­er way, to take your time and be pushed and pulled along a more slow­ly wind­ing path by the Winds of Fate, and in this you will ascribe what befalls you as chance or acci­dent or the will of some “high­er” being, that “luck” or bad “luck” is all there is, that life is what just happens.

But even so, as you walk in that dim-lit, shad­owed realm of fate and fear, as you stum­ble and fall again and again, as you pick your­self up time after time, you will slow­ly begin to per­ceive a “dawn­ing”, a hint of your greater self-aware­ness. You will begin to appre­hend an order to the way you are, and the way the world is too (for they are the same), and moments will come when beyond all chance, you find your­self at a con­ver­gence of cir­cum­stances, some­thing mag­i­cal or mys­te­ri­ous “hap­pens” and time and space will come togeth­er, and you feel that chill come over you, the hair on your body ris­es form­ing goose bumps upon this fleshy form you move in now.

And there you will be, at a Ful­crum of Free Will and Fate, and in your remem­brance and con­nec­tiv­i­ty between one time and anoth­er, you will begin to real­ize that there is more to this jour­ney and you than just “accident”…You will begin to know/remember who you tru­ly are, to take the mea­sure of what you are tru­ly capa­ble of, of why you are here and how it is pos­si­ble for you to become more through this jour­ney that leads to a Greater Aware­ness and Pur­pose­ful Intention.

Even­tu­al­ly, there will come a time for you to take the next step in self-aware/­self-deter­mi­na­tion, and who can say when or why (or indeed in what life you did), but at some moment you will resolve to climb upon the steep­er path. Usu­al­ly it comes upon you as a feeling/knowing, that you have begun to intu­it the pur­pose and mean­ing behind your life, and so you turn and you choose to ded­i­cate your­self to some­thing greater, for you are now deter­mined to abide with­in a High­er Plane of Dream­ing, Cre­at­ing and Being.

You begin to make your way upon that Noble Path which has been fol­lowed by many, many before you. They have walked this path long ago, but they too were helped along the way, they did not for­get nor will they ever turn away from you now, for this too is part of “The Way”. For once you have set your­self upon this Pur­pose­ful Path, once you have felt the call­ing to be Aligned with­in, you will also become Attuned to what is around you too…You will come to under­stand the pur­pos­es and path­way of this Cre­ation Jour­ney you have been upon. Your lov­ing Self-Aware Con­nect­ed­ness to all of that which is around you will help you to more quick­ly become what you were des­tined for, to be a Lov­ing Co-Cre­ator of your world and of one anoth­er too.

You will join the com­pa­ny of those elders who have come this way before, and you will know that they are there, extend­ing their lov­ing hearts and hands to you now, (for they have always been there help­ing in what­ev­er way the Law of Kar­ma would both per­mit and demand of them too). They are fur­ther along the path and already abide in the Know­ing-Way, the One Way which is Love, and so they will always answer and reach out to those who fol­low and now wish to serve, and they will help you now to find “The Way”…

But as always, you will have to choose, you must learn for this is the way, to learn over and over again how to do what is bet­ter, to choose to do what is good and lov­ing, and to let go of the rest.

In every day you face this most awe­some and fate­ful choice…To take what­ev­er comes to you, whether it was good or bad, to take it and then to Intel­li­gent­ly, Lov­ing­ly and Spir­i­tu­al­ly pass it on…If good has come to you, then you will release and pass on the same; if pain or hurt or anger came, you will know that it is just ener­gy, formed into this impulse of neg­a­tiv­i­ty (that has prob­a­bly been passed from soul to soul caus­ing untold suf­fer­ing, per­haps for many, many years), and that now you are giv­en this oppor­tu­ni­ty and chal­lenge, and you must choose wise­ly. For you are Self-Aware Spir­it and you must learn to use your Love and Wis­dom to redeem what was dark­ness and pain, to under­stand your pur­pose and be the Cre­ator who turns Dark­ness into Light. You will take what is dark and in pain, and you will turn it back into Love & Light.

Four Por­tals stand with­in this Cir­cle of Life, Four Great Moments of Choice, Four Begin­nings to mark your Sacred Sea­sons of Spir­it. They will also be met when you reach some­what high­er, they will be faced as the Four Great Ini­ti­a­tions that mark your Jour­ney into a Ful­ly Illu­mined Life.

For now, in this jour­ney of your Self that is Becom­ing, you will meet at the East­ern Por­tal the Equinox of Aries, where you face the Test and reap the Reward of your renew­al of your Pres­ence and Indi­vid­u­al­i­ty. At the North­ern Por­tal that is the Sol­stice of Can­cer, you face the Test and reap the Reward of your renew­al with your Source and Cen­ter. At the West­ern Por­tal of the Equinox of Libra, you face the Test and reap the Reward of your renew­al of Join­ing with the Beloved in the Love that you share. And now, at the South­ern Por­tal that is the Sol­stice of Capri­corn, you face the Test and reap the Reward of your renew­al of Pur­pose, for you must choose to be Respon­si­ble, to Ful­fill your Duty and claim your Des­tiny to be part of the Gold­en Chord that holds all of this Cre­ation togeth­er in One Great Life.

Today you are remind­ed, that even in the dark­est hour, there remains a Light that will not go out, a Love that will not fail, and a Promise that will be Ful­filled. It is all because you stand with­in a shin­ing Hier­ar­chy of Light that stretch­es from the Heart of Cre­ation to the fur­thest reach­es of this Cos­mos, that every being with­in this Com­pa­ny of Brave Souls is Aligned and Attuned to one anoth­er, joined in At-One­ment by the Love which holds all in the Truth that there is but One in whom all are encom­passed by the Light.

And so it is most fit­ting and won­der­ful that on this spe­cial day that Venus, your Avatar of Val­ue, Beau­ty and Love is Stand­ing Still. She is turn­ing to move across the heav­ens and take up her posi­tion in the New Year as the Bright­ly Shin­ing One, to be your Light Bear­er herald­ing the Dawn as you move into this next sea­son of your life. Here is what I wrote about this in my Gen­er­al Fore­cast for 2013:

Venus Ret­ro­grade in Capri­corn (Decem­ber 21 until Jan­u­ary 31, 2014)

 The year con­cludes with the plan­et of Love and Beau­ty going ret­ro­grade until the end of Jan­u­ary. Yes, it is time again to re-con­sid­er what you have, what you want and the nature of Love in your life…

At this most sacred moment of the Spir­i­tu­al Cal­en­dar, your Avatar of Love is turn­ing and so must you…it is time once to renew your under­stand­ing of the why and what of your love. You need to go with­in again and con­sid­er the Nature of Love, where does it come from, why do you have this feel­ing, and what is it for. 

Venus in Capri­corn speaks to you now of this Hier­ar­chy of Cre­ation that stretch­es back into the mists of time, and like­wise ahead into the Infini­ties of Dimen­sions and Space. Yet all of it, from the small­est mote to the might­i­est of Galax­ies and beyond, all of it is encom­passed in the one Abid­ing Ener­gy, the One Abid­ing Love from the Moth­er-Father that gave birth to us all.

You love one anoth­er, you love the world around you and those stars and galax­ies too, because quite sim­ply but pro­found­ly, it is all a part of you. The Illu­sion is Sep­a­ra­tion, from which dark­ness, pain and despair did come…But the Hope and Promise is held by this Truth that all is of One Spir­it, all held togeth­er by One Sacred Love. There is noth­ing to fear, the dark­ness will not stay and the Light that will nev­er fail is there and will shine bright­ly through one and All.

In Love, from Love and by Love,

The Pur­pose of this whole Jour­ney is so that Spir­it can be through you and you and you…

And all you are asked to do,

Is Love.
