Forty Days & Forty Nights
With Ash Wednesday (“from dust thou art and unto dust we shall return”), the day after Mardi Gras, we begin the season of Lent (Old English for “springtime”), forty days and nights of purification, preparing us for the Three Spring Festivals (Aries, Taurus, Gemini), for spring itself, equinox, Wesak (when the Buddha approaches the Earth), for Holy Week, Passion Week, Palm Sunday and for Easter. Everything is holy, everything biblical.
Whether we know, understand, comprehend or recognize it or not, everything is holy. Everything is biblical. And the events, the crisis we are all experiencing at this time in the history of our country and our world, they too are biblical. And the outcome will be biblical. Whereas our history books are the history of wars, the reality is humanity’s true history is the history of our awakening, a history of consciousness and of slow development towards a greater state of knowing. The history of humanity is the history of its religions. Each religion within each Age is the history of humanity’s developmental stages for the last eighteen million years.
We (humanity) have been here on Earth for eighteen million years. And will be continuing on for eighteen million more years, reincarnating thousands of times, in every culture, in all races, in different colors, speaking different languages. The kingdom is colorful and we, humanity, are the most colorful of all. Here we are in Aquarius. Aquarius is everyone’s friend. The sign of Pisces began this week. As Aquarius serves the world, Pisces saves it.
Mercury retrograde continues till this Saturday, where it stations at 11 degrees Aquarius. Mercury will remain in its retrograde shadow until March 13th. Things move very slowly forward till then. During Mercury retro and its shadows, new information approaches us. We continue to assess, order and organize, eliminate what is no longer needed, so the future has room to make its appearance.
Lent is a time to create new rhythms. When we create new rhythms, what is no longer useful falls away. What new rhythms can we think about creating for Lent? What can we cultivate that is good, creating a new circulatory flow? I’ll write about this next time. Love, Risa
