“One ship drives east and another drives west, with the selfsame winds that blow. Tis the set of the sails, and not the gales which tells us the way to go.
Like the winds of the seas are the ways of fate, as we voyage along through life. Tis the set of the soul, that decides its goal, and not the calm or the strife.” – Ella Wheeler Wilcox
Gotta love that quote. We can apply it to our own lives, and we certainly can apply it to the stars and planets as they drive us onward towards our fate and destiny. We elect the politicians and hope that they are steering our ship properly. It hardly ever works out that way, and we usually end up very disappointed with their leadership and behaviour. We groan, whine and complain, and everything remains the same. The rich get richer, and the rest of us keep grinding out a living, and then we die.
“Tis the set of the soul that decides its goal, and not the calm or the strife.” Here we are in the Kali Yuga (aka) the iron age. Is there high stress? Yes. Are we living in dangerous times with all the nuclear weapons and other nasty devices that we have created to wipe out the bad guys, whomever they are? Yes. I’d like to write about how nice it will be in a few years when the planets change their positions, but I think the maladies that we suffer from are going to be around for quite some time. It seems hopeless, but it is not, especially if we set our soul on its right course and proper journey.
What we really need is a revolution in consciousness. The human spirit is truly something great. Look what Mahatma Gandhi did, and of course we killed him for it. But that’s not the point. It’s not how we die, but how we live that makes the real difference. Pluto the planet of regeneration and transformation will be in Capricorn (ruling Governments) for seven more years, and then Aquarius (ruling social awareness) for twenty more, and then Pisces (ruling spirituality) past the mid century point. We have a great opportunity to reshape the landscape, politically, socially and spiritually. We have free will of choice. Through calm or strife, if we are centred and balanced within ourselves then that will make a huge difference. There’s plenty of land, and plenty of food to go around to feed everyone on the planet. The plan starts with you as you learn to live a nonviolent, loving and giving lifestyle.
