To Everything There Is A Season

To everything, there is a season
And a time for every purpose under the Sun:
A time to be born and a time to die.
A time to plant and a time
To pluck up that which has been planted.
A time to kill and a time to heal.
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
A time to weep and a time to laugh.
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A time to cast away stones and
A time to gather stones together.
A time to embrace and
A time to refrain from embracing.
A time to lose and a time to seek.
A time to tie up and a time to untie.
A time to rend and a time to sew.
A time to keep silent and a time to speak.
A time to love and a time to hate.
A time for war and a time for peace –
He has made everything beautiful, in its time.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
The Old Testament
There have been long periods on the Earth
When we did not know God’s true nature and our own.
In spite of our individual and collective ignorance and
Even though we were hurting and wounding others
And they were doing the same to us,
We and our world inexorably moved
Forwards and upwards
On the evolutionary spiral of life.
This lesson lasted around six thousand years,
Because it had to be learnt thoroughly by all of us.
From the suffering of that traumatic period
Grew much wisdom and understanding,
Quite naturally,
So that many by now are ready to find their way
Home into the conscious awareness of
The purpose and meaning of every phase of their existence.
Rejoice! The Age of Aquarius is with us
And ever more of us are already moving into
This age of friendship and kinship with all life,
By practising it in their daily encounters.
For these wise ones, God’s Kingdom on the Earth
Has become a reality, it is here!
A time for tolerance and forgiveness,
Kindness, friendliness and towards our planet
And everything that shares it with us.
As a result, the wounds of all lifetimes
Our whole world’s, our own and everybody else’s
Are healing.
Hallelujah!
That’s what the Age of Aquarius means to me
And all my writings are about this theme.
Aquarius
Ecclesiastes is one of the most ancient parts of the Old Testament with its roots in Judaism. From there they reach into the much older spiritual traditions of the Middle East and Africa, especially Ancient Egypt.
