The Glass Curtain.

The barrier between the First World and the rest of the world can be likened to a Glass Curtain.

You can see into the First World via the mass media and the internet but you cannot enter.

This Glass Curtain contains a disproportionate share of the world's resources.
And it is supported by superior military strength.

Those in the towering glass skyscrapers rule the world.

But as we enter the Age of Aquarius this will begin to change.

Aquarius is about equality.
So the gap between the first World and the rest of the world will begin to close.
We have already seen this with China and India.

We can only hope that this will take place gradually so that we in the First World can adjust to less.

But if we dig in our heels and refuse to budge then change will come in sudden, shattering blows.

So be prepared to live with less.

You may even find that less is more.

All religions teach this.

Love.

Love is at the heart of all the things of light.

It is the source and the purpose of life.

Man was made for Love.

We cannot live without Love.

So when the ray of light comes it opens our hearts through the Love of God.

Faith.

Faith is fatefully out of fashion.

Our popular culture, our music, and our entertainments are all geared to the abandonment of faith.

The New Atheists delight in destroying faith.

To me true faith is believing in the goodness and benevolence of God when all around you are blaming Him for what happens on earth.

It means to relinquish the idea that life is controlled by God.

It means to hold on to the idea that God is Love.

It means to go against everything that our culture teaches us.

But what happens on earth is the result of human beings acting out of free will.
It is not done by God.

So pray to the God who will deliver you.

And always have faith in Him.

Selflessness.

We hear the word selfless bandied about in the media.

It means such things as handballing instead of kicking, or tackling to protect a teammate.

This cheapens the words selfless.

To be truly selfless is to be attuned to the needs of others.
To never think of ourselves but to think all the time of others.

This, of course, is impossible.
But it is something we can aspire to.
It is  something we can do in the moment, in individual circumstances.

Once again we must overcome our fear of being taken advantage of.

We must trust in the goodness of the universe.
