Coming of Age—Will It Take a Planetary
Near-Death Experience?

Let Light and Love and Power Restore the Plan on Earth

Coming of age in this new era of enlightenment should be considered in several contexts: for each of us as self-realized expressions of the Creator, for humanity as it evolves into maturity its potential, and for the planet Earth as it comes into its sacredness.

For ourselves, we advance into a consciousness of do no evil. Remember, evil is anti-evolutionary—that which obstructs the flow of life toward its divine destiny. We must not create blockages that hinder others or project negative thoughtforms that cause others to stumble or doubt the reality of a Greater Plan. As Buddha taught, It is not enough to cease to do evil, it is time to do good.

We must explore within for our creativity, our imagination, talents, and abilities so all may become empowered to share our aspirations with others and capable of manifesting agape. We are told in scripture that we are made in the image and likeness of our Creator. It is the task of awakened ones to direct that creativity toward goodness, beauty, and joy.

In the process of maturing, we draw upon the essential energy of will, better known to us as will power. The least understood of our divine attributes, will is restrained until light (enlightenment) and love have expressed. Then the work of spiritual power, the vessel of the will, can begin, and we learn how to "will-to-good,” to create patterns for right-relationship that will lift the power surges of human consciousness into divine potential.

According to ancient wisdom teachings, our planet Earth, itself in physical incarnation, is undergoing a near-death experience. Only the higher consciousness, the light invoked by the wise ones of humanity, will be able to revitalize our Earth; indigenous peoples of the world use the word "protect."

Despite the threat of extinction, holy ones assure us the Earth will heal and will survive. While this involves much more than environmental concerns, this important movement leads us in the right direction. Though the time has not yet come for this planet to shed its physical nature and become ethereal, she has come to a rite of passage which depends upon the raised consciousness of her inhabitants, as they represent her mental body. Their healing efforts, meditations, and visualizations around the world support and advance this process.

A timely prayer: May we comprehend the Great will, bring it into harmony with higher will, and thus create a truly Golden Era. As we call upon the expanded awareness of our Christ-within to assist us to see more clearly, we accept our work to create a humanity coming of age.
