The Ultimate Adventure

Whatever your spiritual belief, you may have noticed how this time of year so often is marked by a heightened sense of emotion and the imminence of change: it is about revelation and history, suffering and wonder, finding freedom and moving forward. 

This year, Easter, Ramadan, and Passover will be marked by millions within three weeks of each other, and you may feel the unconscious memory of great events long ago that left a profound imprint upon you and the world.  You may remember the grief of crucifixion, the joy of resurrection, the passing over of the forces of destruction and redemption from bondage, and the call for intense spiritual discipline and personal abstinence.  It is, simply, about liberation, growth and advancement.  It is about death too, and from it new beginnings and new freedom.

You, now, are the witness to great waves of uncertainty as the sands of time fall ever more rapidly in anticipation of the demise of the old ways.  It is a time of a life and death struggle, reminders of which you see played out in Russia, the British Royal family, Israel and Gaza and interestingly the USA.  As you watch with the wisdom that you have, remember that you too are a part of the struggle, and it is an aspect of the responsibility that you have as a human being to break free and help create the ultimate adventure of life, and death, on Earth - change. There is nothing to fear.

The next six weeks and the next thirteen years are significant in terms of this ultimate adventure.  What a blessing it is to be alive, the witness and protagonist in this game of existential snakes and ladders.  I repeat, there is nothing to fear.  We walk together and are safe.
