Poem –
MUTUAL CARE by george byron koch

i have lived many lives in one
i have tried to love this place
its people
leave it kinder than i found it

we are one big peculiar family sharing a meal
no one should take extra until everyone has enough

mutual care is the wisest way to live together
we have abundance
we should share it
there are dangers
we should protect each other
beyond that
i do not care what you believe or do
unless it leads to harm

sentiments
creeds
philosophies
are not love

mutual care is love
persist in it

Today, January 1, 2026 (1-1-1). A most auspicious number.
Of all things yet to be. And so…
Dedicating ourselves to mutual care on this new day, new year – January 1, 2026 – 2026 = 1 – all things new new year.
As on our first day of the new year.
We take the most tender & careful care of all that we do.
The first day of anything sets the template for all that comes after.

Today is the Feast Day of Mary, the Mother of the World.
It’s the nourishment of the mother (mothering Principle) that cares for & tend to the children. Everyone is a mother & everyone is a father to something, someone. We are both.
We honor our mothers today – recognizing them, praising them, offering them our deepest gratitude.

Today –
Capricorn Sun, Gemini moon – we are to have practical communication all year long.
With a touch of love & wisdom (Ray 2, Gemini’s Ray). Our dedication & intention for the new year.

Today – a question.
Mercury squares Neptune – our thoughts on religion shift & change incorporating understanding as to what religion really is – developmental stages for humanity.
And so, what developmental stage is each of us on?
That is a very provocative question. Those following my writings will know why it’s provocative & very telling to know the answer. Knowing the answer for each of us, we can proceed forward.

Today also, Mercury (4) enters Capricorn (1, 3, 7) – again, very practical communication (filled with harmony) is called for in the new year – communication that helps create the new structures for the new culture (Capricorn) & new era unfolding.

Mercury/Capricorn – also humanity’s knowledge of the Antahkarana, the Rainbow Bridge being constructed for humanity, the bridge from the personality to the Soul. This is the new education for the new age for humanity.

Questions: for the new year.
What word do we want to choose to ponder upon, contemplate for the new year?
What actions?
What endeavors will each of us consider that we want to explore?
What new creativities, new plans, new agendas?

Journals for 2026
Opening up our a new 2026 journal, writing in it each day.
Doing our transits each day, exploring hopes wishes dreams, wants & needs during the year. Participating in new/full moon times & the changes of the season.

Reappearance Meditation.
Forgetting the things which lie behind,
We will strive towards our highest spiritual possibilities.
We dedicate ourselves anew
To the service of the Coming One
And will do all we can
To prepare men’s minds and hearts
For that event.
We have no other life intention.
Offering our personality vehicle to the Soul for direction.
Ohm Ohm Ohm.

Beginning anew now. Together in the Ashram. love, Risa
