The Gift of Peace, The Way of Healing

There are Three Lessons in Earth:

In Tau­rus, you expe­ri­ence the Les­son of Value.

In Vir­go, you expe­ri­ence the Les­son of Perfection.

In Capri­corn, you expe­ri­ence the Les­son of Fulfillment.

Today you enter a most spe­cial realm as the Ener­gy-Forms shift from Fire to Earth once more. Each Fire sign of Ide­alisms, Visions and Enthu­si­asms is fol­lowed by this reminder that what mat­ters in the end on this Mor­tal plane is this: “Does your fab­u­lous Vision actu­al­ly work; Did your Per­for­mance elic­it a con­se­quen­tial response and result; Will your Truth align with Reality?”

In Leo, you strove to release from your cen­ter a truer expres­sion of who you are. To the extent you had met and secured your­self in your Cen­ter (in Can­cer), then you were able to let shine the Cre­ativ­i­ty and Love for your­self and for one anoth­er more truly.

But after each per­for­mance, comes the review. The Time of Vir­go, and the place of Vir­go in everyone’s chart, is when and where you must now use your most won­der­ful and nec­es­sary gift for crit­i­cal obser­va­tion, (and crit­i­cal self-obser­va­tion). Because this is how you grow, this is how you become an ever more com­plete human. You learn by tri­al and error, to see what works and what does not, you face the won­der­ful and painful con­se­quences of your pre­vi­ous choic­es and actions for this very rea­son: so that you may lift your­self and one anoth­er up onto a high­er plane of self-under­stand­ing and self-realization.

You do this for your­self, and for one anoth­er too. For the Vir­go path is the Path of Ser­vice. We are here to cre­ate and pro­vide for one anoth­er the very means by which we can remove imper­fec­tions in our­selves and in our works. The time and place of Vir­go brings you to the ful­crum of your self-becoming.

You have come far along the path of self-awak­en­ing/­self-unfold­ment which will lead to your self-mas­tery and ful­fill­ment in your human form. But as you look through the lens of Vir­go at your­self (and observe one anoth­er), you will see revealed the flaws, defi­cien­cies, errors and mis­takes that have made you what you are today. Oh yes, you have abil­i­ty and tal­ent, but you look in that mir­ror of spir­i­tu­al reflection/revelation and see so clear­ly all the work you have before you still.

That is pre­cise­ly the point; this is what Vir­go is for and about. Your present-day strengths, gifts, apti­tudes and tal­ents, where do you think these came from? Do you think a per­son like Mozart just hap­pened? He strug­gled, prob­a­bly through many, many lives to bring him­self to that excep­tion­al state of facil­i­ty and refine­ment that flow­ered into a giant of musi­cal genius.

But actu­al­ly, (and quite often), genius is a curse as much as it is a bless­ing. Because that sin­gu­lar purpose/focus of excep­tion­al qual­i­ties may leave oth­er qual­i­ties lag­ging or absent. Spir­i­tu­al­ly, the true goal of human self-unfold­ment is for you to achieve a dynam­ic and inte­gral bal­ance of Thought with Feel­ing; you are here to weave togeth­er your body, feel­ings, thoughts and spir­i­tu­al­i­ty into a most spe­cial and unique reflec­tion of the Divin­i­ty inside us all.

But often we will com­pare our­selves to these “great ones”, espe­cial­ly those who did secure that greater mea­sure of all their fac­ul­ties shin­ing and true. We look to the exam­ples of Krish­na, Bud­dha and Jesus, or in our age to some­one like the Dali Lama or Amma, and say “who I am com­pared to them, look how lit­tle I have, how flawed I am in comparison.”

But take com­fort, they were once like you too. They strug­gled and strove to make their way into the Light of the Greater Under­stand­ing. And most of them, the great­est of them indeed stopped right there, at the por­tal to the beyond. They were “done”, they had fin­ished their Earth­ly path of Human Awak­en­ing, they had reached their Apotheosis.

They could have con­tin­ued on their jour­ney on their own, for there are worlds and won­ders beck­on­ing, and there is no end to the realms of Love, Light and Beau­ty. But they knew, because they under­stood that this is not “the way”.

And so, they turn in Free­dom and Love, because it is not about “I” in the end, and know­ing what they did, there real­ly is no oth­er way. They stand and wait upon you, and they will wait with love, kind­ness and com­pas­sion for each of us to make our way. The door will be held open, a can­dle will light the way, and you will be wel­comed home on some joy­ful day.

For now, and in every life, you will strive for ever greater self-mas­tery. You will be guid­ed by those who extend them­selves in lov­ing ser­vice to you, shar­ing their wis­dom, lift­ing you up when you are weary, heal­ing your body, heart and mind. As they share their expe­ri­ences and knowl­edge with you, as they tell you their sto­ries, you will hear your future echoed in their Mas­tery now.

And, as you turn, as you must because you know, you will extend your­self to those who need that kind­ly, com­pas­sion­ate assis­tance from you. You are part of an end­less Hier­ar­chy of Light and Love, and we are all here to Serve one anoth­er, to care for one anoth­er, to help one anoth­er to be bet­ter than we were, as we move togeth­er, ever clos­er to the cross­ing point into the Greater Light.

That is why Vir­go holds the Path of Per­fec­tion, because we are all mov­ing towards that sub­lime moment when we become all that we can pos­si­bly be. Yet do not be blind­ed by this goal of “per­fec­tion” as being per­fect! There is no such state!! There is no final con­di­tion or des­ti­na­tion for Spir­it or for you.

All you can be, at any point in your jour­ney, is more com­plete, a more won­der­ful­ly bal­anced, inte­gral­ly whole shin­ing star of love and light. You will find by this the great­est trea­sure that is sought by one and all, you will find your­self in a state of Grace, and you will meet your high­er self in your place of Peace.

For this is the great Gift and Promise of Vir­go. This Path of Per­fec­tion, which is found by this cir­cuitous jour­ney marked by Suf­fer­ing and Heal­ing, you will find that in the end you are beau­ti­ful, and you are loved and lov­ing too.

You fol­low the path, that Truth is Love, and for all your days you will be at Peace as you walk in the Way of Beauty.

You will sing and you will shine, join hands and say to one anoth­er once more:

As I walk, as I walk

The Uni­verse is walk­ing with me

In beau­ty, it walks before me

In beau­ty, it walks behind me

In beau­ty, it walks below me

In beau­ty, it walks above me

Beau­ty is on every side

Sur­round­ed by Beauty

Liv­ing in Beauty

Lov­ing in Beauty

May you walk in Beauty

May you live in Beauty

For all your days

May you be at Peace

Sur­round­ed by Beauty

It is done.
