Tran\u00adscript of Radio Show:<\/strong> The Path of Light, The Way of Will and Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n

I want\u00aded to talk today and I titled the show, \u201cThe path of Light, the Way of Will and Pur\u00adpose\u201d, and what I meant by that is that we find our\u00adselves here on Earth, and we are all part of this great cos\u00admos, and involved in all these expe\u00adri\u00adences of ener\u00adgies and ener\u00adgy-forms that we are par\u00adtak\u00ading in or influ\u00adenced by. Astrol\u00ado\u00adgy is the study of all these dif\u00adfer\u00adent cos\u00admic influ\u00adences from very near at hand like the Moon, and we see the tides ris\u00ading and falling, and the cycles of night and day and every\u00adthing else that goes on that have framed our exis\u00adtence and formed our sense of time and space, and from this we began to notice pat\u00adterns as we became self-aware.<\/p>\n

So what I would like to do is go into this under\u00adstand\u00ading of Astrol\u00ado\u00adgy and the study of cycles and see how we might under\u00adstand it, or how Astrologers under\u00adstand it and help you under\u00adstand it too. Astrol\u00ado\u00adgy in many ways can be large\u00adly under\u00adstood as the study of cycles. From the dai\u00adly rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion of the Earth mov\u00ading from day to night, to the Moon\u2019s orbit around the earth in 29 days, in wax\u00ading and wan\u00ading, and the plan\u00adets orbit\u00ading around the sun, and on to the Sun\u2019s cycle around the Milky Way, Astrologers have always sought to under\u00adstand these var\u00adi\u00adous and hier\u00adar\u00adchi\u00adcal \u201cwheels with\u00adin wheels\u201d that map out the real\u00adi\u00adty of we call Space-Time.<\/p>\n

When try\u00ading to under\u00adstand the life of an indi\u00advid\u00adual, or a group of indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals, or small\u00ader or larg\u00ader orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions, it real\u00adly is impor\u00adtant to keep in mind how var\u00adied and inter\u00adre\u00adlat\u00aded all these cycles are. Depend\u00ading upon what you are try\u00ading to deter\u00admine, you may focus upon just the imme\u00addi\u00adate fac\u00adtors form\u00ading the con\u00addi\u00adtions for a per\u00adson. Or we may pull back to con\u00adsid\u00ader the fate of nations and civ\u00adi\u00adliza\u00adtions that span the range of many cen\u00adturies. These vary\u00ading influ\u00adences are a won\u00adder to behold but mak\u00ading sense of them and under\u00adstand\u00ading the true nature of what is hap\u00adpen\u00ading can be con\u00adfus\u00ading and often hum\u00adbling, but ulti\u00admate\u00adly and reas\u00adsur\u00ading\u00adly com\u00adfort\u00ading to see that there is an order to the uni\u00adverse. It is what I like to call the \u201cMusic of the Stars\u201d.<\/p>\n

Galac\u00adtic<\/strong>
\nI thought it would be use\u00adful to con\u00adsid\u00ader the hier\u00adar\u00adchy of influ\u00adences that we should always remem\u00adber are work\u00ading togeth\u00ader to influ\u00adence what hap\u00adpened before and what is hap\u00adpen\u00ading now. Tak\u00ading it to the high\u00adest lev\u00adel, the first lev\u00adel is Galac\u00adtic. Our Galaxy, the Milky Way, rotates in about 250 mil\u00adlion years, which in effect becomes one Galac\u00adtic Year. As we spin around with the sun, our plan\u00ade\u00adtary sys\u00adtem moves up and down with\u00adin that galac\u00adtic plane, weav\u00ading and bob\u00adbing. It is beyond our mor\u00adtal lim\u00adits to know what are the dif\u00adfer\u00adent divi\u00adsions of space that we encounter in these 250 mil\u00adlion years, but there are those who spec\u00adu\u00adlate that it would prob\u00ada\u00adbly illus\u00adtrate or form long wave geo\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal changes and oth\u00ader changes upon the earth. And we know that our very Milky Way Galaxy rotates with\u00adin a vaster col\u00adlec\u00adtion of local galax\u00adies, which in turn are mov\u00ading in an even greater rota\u00adtion\u00adal cycle, \u201cWheels with\u00adin wheels\u201d indeed!<\/p>\n

Solar Sys\u00adtem<\/strong>
\nThe sec\u00adond lev\u00adel is our solar sys\u00adtem. We have all seen mod\u00adels of our plan\u00ade\u00adtary sys\u00adtem, with the con\u00adcen\u00adtric ring of plan\u00adets around the Sun, from the plan\u00adet Mer\u00adcury to Venus to Earth, and then beyond the Earth to Mars, Jupiter, Sat\u00adurn, Uranus, Nep\u00adtune and Plu\u00adto. The phe\u00adnom\u00ade\u00adna of cycles astrologers use are focused upon the cycle of rela\u00adtion\u00adships of the plan\u00adets to the Earth, and their cycles with one anoth\u00ader. This is what I prin\u00adci\u00adpal\u00adly use in my read\u00adings for indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals, and for exam\u00adin\u00ading the world of Mun\u00addane or World\u00adly Astrol\u00ado\u00adgy too.<\/p>\n

Pre\u00adces\u00adsion of Equinoxes<\/strong>
\nBut there are oth\u00ader cycles with\u00adin this realm, and one that many of you may have heard about. The Pre\u00adces\u00adsion of the Equinox\u00ades is formed by anoth\u00ader motion of the Earth rel\u00ada\u00adtive to the local area of our Galaxy. We all know that the Earth tilts in one orbital year, hav\u00ading the north\u00adern then the south\u00adern hemi\u00adsphere be more direct\u00adly point\u00aded towards the Sun. It is the cause of our sea\u00adson\u00adal expe\u00adri\u00adences here on Earth.<\/p>\n

But the Earth also \u201cwob\u00adbles\u201d in such a fash\u00adion, that look\u00ading to the North Pole, we find it aligns with a dif\u00adfer\u00adent star over\u00adhead over the course of some 25,000 years or so. For Astrologers, this pre\u00adces\u00adsion of the equinox\u00ades moves back\u00adward through the Signs in about 2,000 years per Sign. This cre\u00adates a divi\u00adsion between the Side\u00adre\u00adal (star\u00adry) and Trop\u00adi\u00adcal (local) astrol\u00ado\u00adgy. Where exact\u00adly a Side\u00adre\u00adal Sign begins or ends is not eas\u00adi\u00adly deter\u00admined, but the study of these pre\u00adces\u00adsions is cer\u00adtain\u00adly some\u00adthing intriguing.<\/p>\n

Astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Ages<\/strong>
\nWhen we look at these Astro\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Ages let us begin at 12,000 years ago, (and there is a rea\u00adson for that), in the Age of Leo from around 10,500 to 8000 BCE<\/span>. That was the age that is crit\u00adi\u00adcal to our under\u00adstand\u00ading as to what is hap\u00adpen\u00ading now. That was the peri\u00adod when human\u00adi\u00adty took the fate\u00adful step of mov\u00ading from hunt\u00ading-gath\u00ader\u00ading lifestyles to ever more seden\u00adtary ways of a pas\u00adtoral and agri\u00adcul\u00adtur\u00adal life. It was at that time that we began to alter our world ever\u00admore sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant\u00adly. And here we are, one half of a cycle of pre\u00adces\u00adsion lat\u00ader deal\u00ading with the end result of that choice, which is the mount\u00ading threats of Cli\u00admate Change.<\/p>\n

From 8000 to 6000 BCE<\/span>, we had the Age of Can\u00adcer, because the pre\u00adces\u00adsion moves back\u00adwards through the signs, which wit\u00adnessed the age of domes\u00adti\u00adca\u00adtion and what became known as the wor\u00adship of the \u201cGreat Moth\u00ader\u201d. From 6000 to 4000 BCE<\/span>, we had the Age of Gem\u00adi\u00adni, and writ\u00ading and trade routes were flour\u00adish\u00ading, and poly\u00adthe\u00adis\u00adtic reli\u00adgions were promi\u00adnent. From 4000 to 2000 BCE<\/span>, the Age of Tau\u00adrus came to be, and we see the rise of the first true empires and of Bull wor\u00adship and imagery. Then from 2000 to O BCE<\/span>, the Age of an Aries, we see the begin\u00adning of the move away from Poly\u00adthe\u00adism to Monothe\u00adism, and there is an erup\u00adtion in this Age of Aries, the first sign, of new thoughts and philoso\u00adphies seed\u00ading the world. This was the age of Con\u00adfu\u00adcius and Bud\u00addha and Lao Tzu and Zoroast\u00ader and Pythago\u00adras and many, many others.<\/p>\n

Then from 0 to 2000 CE<\/span>, which is our time, this was the Age of Pisces, the Age of Monothe\u00adism, or some would argue spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly and psy\u00adcho\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly, the Age of the Indi\u00advid\u00adual and the Ego.<\/p>\n

And now we find our\u00adselves here, whether it has already hap\u00adpened, or is hap\u00adpen\u00ading or about to hap\u00adpen, now from 2000s to the 4000, we are now mov\u00ading into the Age of Aquar\u00adius, which I argue will be the age when humans move beyond egoic lim\u00adi\u00adta\u00adtions, and form an ever more inclu\u00adsive and  com\u00admu\u00adnal based con\u00adscious\u00adness. It is when we begin to man\u00adage our\u00adselves and our rela\u00adtion\u00adships to one anoth\u00ader, and with all life on this plan\u00adet, in a holis\u00adtic and heal\u00ading manner.<\/p>\n

Now, when we want to under\u00adstand what has been dri\u00adving our his\u00adto\u00adry of late, I would cer\u00adtain\u00adly want to begin with this obser\u00adva\u00adtion\u00adal mod\u00adel of the pre\u00adces\u00adsion of the equinox\u00ades as a big fram\u00ading of under\u00adstand\u00ading. But then I would want to con\u00adsid\u00ader what var\u00adi\u00adous plan\u00ade\u00adtary cycles are cur\u00adrent\u00adly in play and com\u00adpare them to pre\u00advi\u00adous moments in history.<\/p>\n

Jupiter\/Saturn, The Great Mutation<\/strong>
\nOf course, noth\u00ading is ever a rep\u00ade\u00adti\u00adtion as all these cycles move at var\u00adi\u00adous time frames and though we can mea\u00adsure repeat\u00ading align\u00adments of plan\u00adets, when look\u00ading at all the plan\u00adets togeth\u00ader, there is nev\u00ader going to be an exact rep\u00ade\u00adti\u00adtion between them. Of inter\u00adest to us, con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ading the pos\u00adsi\u00adbly that we are in or at the begin\u00adning of the Age of Aquar\u00adius is anoth\u00ader cycle astrologers study, the pat\u00adtern of Jupiter and Sat\u00adurn, which every 20 years move from con\u00adjunc\u00adtion to con\u00adjunc\u00adtion, and those con\u00adjunc\u00adtions occur in a series, align\u00ading in one ele\u00adment for 200 years or so before the next 200 years in the next element.<\/p>\n

The most recent ages as deter\u00admined by this cycling of Jupiter and Sat\u00adurn were as fol\u00adlows: We were in a Water Age from 1425 to 1663, that would be Jupiter and Sat\u00adurn each time they came togeth\u00ader every 20 years align\u00ading in either Can\u00adcer, Scor\u00adpio or Pisces. And I call that Age of Water from 1425 to 1663 an Age of Faith. The pre\u00advi\u00adous Water Age was 571 to 809. Then the next peri\u00adod is the Fire Age from 1663 to 1842, called the Age of Explo\u00adrations, (and the pre\u00advi\u00adous Fire peri\u00adod was 809 to 1047). Then we have the age that is now end\u00ading, the Earth Age from 1842 to 2020, and this is an Age of Mate\u00adri\u00adal\u00adiza\u00adtion, (and the pre\u00advi\u00adous time was 1047 to 1226). And what we are mov\u00ading into or we have just entered is an Age of Air, the Age of Ide\u00adal\u00adiza\u00adtion from 2020 to 2219, (and the pre\u00advi\u00adous Age of Air was 1226 to 1425, which was also the time of the 12th cen\u00adtu\u00adry renais\u00adsance, it was called the \u201clit\u00adtle renaissance\u201d).<\/p>\n

What this means for us is that we are mov\u00ading from a mate\u00adri\u00adal\u00adis\u00adtic age into anoth\u00ader, and what we will know or name it is yet to be deter\u00admined. Again, this Age of Earth is end\u00ading with the exis\u00adten\u00adtial threat of cli\u00admate change, where\u00adin our wor\u00adship of the mate\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal life has been the very cre\u00adator of our present challenges.<\/p>\n

But we must remem\u00adber the plan\u00adets do not cre\u00adate the man\u00adi\u00adfes\u00adta\u00adtion, they inform it and they time it. We made choic\u00ades, we dis\u00adcov\u00adered how to release ener\u00adgy that had been locked away for mil\u00adlions of years and we released it in a geo\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal \u201csec\u00adond\u201d. And now we see the con\u00adse\u00adquences in the loss of life, the nar\u00adrow\u00ading of diver\u00adsi\u00adty of all life forms, the extremes mount\u00ading in cli\u00admate and weath\u00ader, and indeed the Nov\u00adel COVID-19<\/span> pan\u00addem\u00adic, all of these reflec\u00adtions and man\u00adi\u00adfes\u00adta\u00adtions of what we have done by bring\u00ading about cli\u00admate change. We are crafty, we are high\u00adly intel\u00adli\u00adgent and capa\u00adble with our tools of sci\u00adence and tech\u00adnol\u00ado\u00adgy. But we lack wis\u00addom and humil\u00adi\u00adty. To remind us of this, we are being hum\u00adbled by the tee\u00adni\u00adest of life forms, a sim\u00adple virus.<\/p>\n

Plan\u00ade\u00adtary Orbits and Alignments<\/strong>
\nThe orbit of the plan\u00adets and their align\u00adments with one anoth\u00ader form a very intri\u00adcate series of influ\u00adences, and some of these orbits are far longer than any indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u2019s lifes\u00adpan, with Plu\u00adto being 245 years to get around the solar sys\u00adtem or Nep\u00adtune 164 years. So, they can only be par\u00adtial\u00adly expe\u00adri\u00adenced by any per\u00adson. We then have Uranus\u2019 orbit of 84, and Sat\u00adurn 29 years, and Jupiter 12 years.<\/p>\n

But then we have the syn\u00adod\u00adic cycles of the plan\u00adets to one anoth\u00ader, like that Jupiter-Sat\u00adurn pair, and we look at all the pairs from Plu\u00adto to Sat\u00adurn. For Plu\u00adto, the cycle with Nep\u00adtune is 492 years, and with Uranus is 127 years, and Sat\u00adurn is 33 years. Then for Nep\u00adtune to Uranus is 171 years, and then to Sat\u00adurn is 36 years. Final\u00adly, for Uranus the cycle with Sat\u00adurn is 45 years.<\/p>\n

With so many cycles inter\u00adweav\u00ading and inter\u00adsect\u00ading one anoth\u00ader, what I like to call \u201cThe Dance of the Plan\u00adets\u201d, it is quite a chal\u00adlenge to ascer\u00adtain exact\u00adly which influ\u00adences are more rel\u00ade\u00advant or reveal\u00ading in any peri\u00adod. So, what I like to do is pro\u00adceed in an order\u00adly man\u00adner, from longest to short\u00adest, so I always look to Plu\u00adto and then to Nep\u00adtune and then Uranus, to see what the three Long-Wave Evo\u00adlu\u00adtion\u00adary influ\u00adences might be.<\/p>\n

Plu\u00adto in Capricorn<\/strong>
\nAs many of you know, I have been exam\u00adin\u00ading the role of Pluto\u2019s cycle through the signs, and the sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcance of its series of pas\u00adsages through the Sign of Capri\u00adcorn, the sign of Insti\u00adtu\u00adtions, Real\u00adi\u00adty and Struc\u00adtures, and look\u00ading at his\u00adto\u00adry. Our moment from 2008 to 2024 can be under\u00adstood as the next step after the pre\u00advi\u00adous times of 1762 to 1778, and before that 1516 to 1532, and then 1270 to 1287. In each of these peri\u00adods, we saw the end of a par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar form of Polit\u00adi\u00adcal-Cul\u00adtur\u00adal and Eco\u00adnom\u00adic order and the emer\u00adgence of a new one, along with a shift in the char\u00adac\u00adter and qual\u00adi\u00adties of the kind of human that would exist in that period.<\/p>\n

I am sure that the peo\u00adple in each peri\u00adod that were going through this change felt that their world was com\u00ading undone, that it was for them like an \u201cend of the world\u201d. But giv\u00aden the chal\u00adlenges that have been cre\u00adat\u00aded and pre\u00adsent\u00aded to us, by us, in our time, this Plu\u00adto pas\u00adsage seems more con\u00adse\u00adquen\u00adtial giv\u00aden the exis\u00adten\u00adtial threat of cli\u00admate change. Per\u00adhaps it is because we are at the end\/beginning of a Jupiter-Sat\u00adurn cycle, or more like\u00adly (or cer\u00adtain\u00adly) because we are at the end of the 2000 year-long Age of Pisces, and the Age of Aquar\u00adius is upon us.<\/p>\n

All the above is look\u00ading at his\u00adto\u00adry with regards to the gen\u00ader\u00adal phe\u00adnom\u00ade\u00adna and cycles of the plan\u00adets one to anoth\u00ader. But there is also what many of you are more famil\u00adiar with, the study of the plan\u00adets with regards to indi\u00advid\u00adual charts. In mun\u00addane astrol\u00ado\u00adgy, we look at the charts of lead\u00aders and nations and gov\u00adern\u00adments and com\u00adpa\u00adnies and oth\u00ader forms of orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion. With regards to the USA<\/span>, I have been not\u00ading how once again how Plu\u00adto is so instruc\u00adtive here.<\/p>\n

Plu\u00adto in USA<\/span> Chart<\/strong>
\nWhat the USA<\/span> is expe\u00adri\u00adenc\u00ading now is the very first return of Plu\u00adto to its Natal posi\u00adtion. Plu\u00adto rules many things, but for me its root nature con\u00adcerns the Third Prin\u00adci\u00adple of Divin\u00adi\u00adty, the Divine Will, and then all the less\u00ader wills that are formed from the One. As Uranus dri\u00adves the prin\u00adci\u00adple of humans devel\u00adop\u00ading ever freer minds, to become ever more indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adat\u00aded, and Nep\u00adtune rules the prin\u00adci\u00adple of Uncon\u00addi\u00adtion\u00adal Love that holds the whole of Cre\u00adation togeth\u00ader by the love of the One in all us less\u00ader ones, Plu\u00adto holds these two togeth\u00ader in the Ener\u00adgy-Form of the \u201ccon\u00adtain\u00ader of spir\u00adit\u201d, a Cen\u00adtered Will and Consciousness.<\/p>\n

Plu\u00adto is sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant in the chart of the USA<\/span> as it is its ris\u00ading plan\u00adet, lead\u00ading the nation and the chart in this case, and it is placed in the Sec\u00adond House, which is the House of Val\u00adue, and for a nation reveals the val\u00adue of a nation and its source of wealth. For me, Plu\u00adto here spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal\u00adly means that the USA<\/span> is endowed with the val\u00adue and pow\u00ader of Alche\u00admy, of the root pow\u00ader of Com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adtion and Trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion, the pow\u00ader of Rebirth and Renew\u00adal, and there is much to be said for the spir\u00adit of renew\u00adal and trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion that the USA<\/span> has demonstrated.<\/p>\n

But I would also argue that what tru\u00adly con\u00adsti\u00adtutes the val\u00adue of any human orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion, from a fam\u00adi\u00adly to a cor\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adtion to a coun\u00adtry, is the val\u00adue of the human beings who formed that group. Their intel\u00adli\u00adgence, their love, their wis\u00addom is the mea\u00adsure of a coun\u00adtry\u2019s wealth, and there\u00adfore how we treat one anoth\u00ader, how we encour\u00adage and sup\u00adport or deny and lim\u00adit the self-ful\u00adfill\u00adment of each and every per\u00adson in the USA<\/span>, is the mea\u00adsure of how far we have come and how far we need to go with regards to ful\u00adfill\u00ading our promis\u00ades to one another.<\/p>\n

But when Plu\u00adto is chan\u00adneled or expe\u00adri\u00adenced in a neg\u00ada\u00adtive man\u00adner it becomes the vehi\u00adcle for manip\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion, dom\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion, and enslave\u00adment. It is the will mis\u00adused and break\u00ading the bar\u00adri\u00ader of anoth\u00ader per\u00adson\u00ad\u2019s will is the spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal crime of Tres\u00adpass\u00ading. Giv\u00aden the his\u00adto\u00adry of the USA<\/span>, found\u00aded upon geno\u00adcide and slav\u00adery, it is quite telling that Plu\u00adto is found here.<\/p>\n

Plu\u00adto &<\/span> Mer\u00adcury in USA<\/span> Chart<\/strong>
\nThe USA<\/span> Plu\u00adto is oppo\u00adsite to Mer\u00adcury, and Mer\u00adcury rules a nation\u2019s means of com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion, like a being\u2019s ner\u00advous sys\u00adtem. It rules the thought-form pat\u00adterns and the devel\u00adop\u00adment (or lack) of intel\u00adli\u00adgence. Each time Plu\u00adto has aligned with Mer\u00adcury and then with itself in his\u00adto\u00adry, the USA<\/span> has con\u00adfront\u00aded the nature of how we val\u00adue one anoth\u00ader. The pre\u00advi\u00adous times in the late 1840s and into the 1850s wit\u00adnessed the strug\u00adgle over new states being allowed to enter as slave or free states; the 1930s with FDR<\/span> and \u201cThe New Deal\u201d in the attempt to pro\u00advide some greater sup\u00adport to the gen\u00ader\u00adal wel\u00adfare after the Great Depres\u00adsion; and the 1980s and the Rea\u00adgan rev\u00ado\u00adlu\u00adtion, which in the suc\u00adceed\u00ading 40 years since then, has led to the most unequal dis\u00adtri\u00adb\u00adu\u00adtion of wealth in the USA<\/span> since the 1920s, a fac\u00adtor which led to the Great Depression.<\/p>\n

Now we are here in 2020 and 2021, with Plu\u00adto oppo\u00adsite Mer\u00adcury and Plu\u00adto return\u00ading to its Natal posi\u00adtion too. The plan\u00adets do not deter\u00admine what will hap\u00adpen. We are the cre\u00adators and instru\u00adments of Action and Will, and the con\u00adtent of what we made and the pain and joy we face is formed by us not the plan\u00adets. They time the unfold\u00adment of pat\u00adterns, they guide our steps with mean\u00adings and under\u00adly\u00ading causal\u00adi\u00adty, but we choose well or poorly.<\/p>\n

The choic\u00ades made in the 1980s and beyond, with\u00adin the eco\u00adnom\u00adic struc\u00adtures them\u00adselves and with\u00adin the legal and tax struc\u00adtures of gov\u00adern\u00adment, led to the great divide we face between one anoth\u00ader now. For exam\u00adple, from 1980 to 2020 the gross domes\u00adtic prod\u00aduct of the USA<\/span> rose by 80% in 40 years, it almost dou\u00adbled. But the man\u00adner in which that growth was dis\u00adtrib\u00aduted was far less equal than the pre\u00advi\u00adous peri\u00adod from 1940 to 1980. In the last 40 years, the bot\u00adtom 20% of the USA<\/span> pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion gain 20% more wealth; the mid\u00addle 40% gain 50% more wealth; but the top .01% gained 420% more in their wealth.<\/p>\n

In terms of wealth dis\u00adtri\u00adb\u00adu\u00adtion, the USA<\/span> is one of the worst of all the so-called \u201cadvanced soci\u00adeties\u201d and this inequal\u00adi\u00adty is even greater when dis\u00adtrib\u00aduted and defined by race and eth\u00adnic\u00adi\u00adty. This is the prin\u00adci\u00adple rea\u00adson why the USA<\/span> has appalling life expectan\u00adcies and health out\u00adcomes com\u00adpared to much of the world.<\/p>\n

Once again, here in 2020 and 2021, we are being asked to look at how we treat the val\u00adue of our nation, of how we care for the true wealth of the land, which is our peo\u00adple.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By many mea\u00adsures we have been fail\u00ading and the crises of the pan\u00addem\u00adic and cli\u00admate change, and the ris\u00ading call for social jus\u00adtice and the var\u00adi\u00adous con\u00adflicts between groups, all of this is call\u00ading on each of us to decide what kind of world we wish to leave to those who come after us.<\/p>\n

Will we be the ones that made a bet\u00adter choice for the future? Will we sac\u00adri\u00adfice for one anoth\u00ader and for our chil\u00addren\u2019s children?<\/p>\n

We are at the end of an age; all these crises are real\u00adly one.<\/p>\n

We are going through a Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Crisis.<\/p>\n

It is a choice but let us choose to make this a Spir\u00adi\u00adtu\u00adal Awak\u00aden\u00ading and Rebirth too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
