Many Greetings Dear Ones,
Merry Whatsis and Hoosie Whoosis to all!

We want to say a little something about this idea of a New Year, in case you are wondering. Even if you are not. Here Goes –

Since we are outside the space-time continuum and are beings of energy and not mass, we do not recognize the newness of any particular time and space event. However, we do recognize the energy and impact of group consciousness, and also media expressions such as advertising on human experience, so we want to acknowledge this and speak to it.

First of all, as we hope you are all aware, you do not need to improve yourself starting a couple of weeks ago. If you are reading this, you are a person already involved in growth and inquiry into self and the nature of the universe and all that it contains. So there is nothing much to add to that and certainly no particular time frame within which it is more something than other. You see? You are already doing The Thing. The Thing you came here for, which is to be a human having an experience of humanity and trying to make sense of it. (We are aware that the deceptively simple explanation we give for your Life’s Purpose can be disappointing to some. But you will indulge us perhaps, and get over it.)

On the other hand, we acknowledge as potentially useful the communal energy of awakening one’s desires for movement in certain directions and the vows to pursue those ideals. Happy New Year.

The main idea, as we see it, is to harness that energy of fresh beginnings and new starts embodied in the idea of a calendar year turning, imbued with meaning and hope, for your own particular plans.

So, ask yourself not how do I improve and what do I promise to do differently, but rather what have I been doing (exploring, becoming, creating, experiencing etc) that I love? What do I wish to enhance, what do I give weight and meaning to these days, and how am I loving myself into it? Ask not to diminish your corporeal self but to continue to enhance the entirety of your being. Think less of consumables, and more of resonance. What do you appreciate about your life and how can you strengthen and share that in the world? It can be as simple as a moment of reflection, and a prayer that all beings may have what you are grateful for in yourself, mind and body, energy body, soul…

In other words, seek to expand rather than improve, seek to deepen rather than diminish, seek to become more authentically yourself, rather than to critique yourself and others blindly for failure to meet a “standard” of self-violation and oppression. Think about all of this, allow yourself to sink into the wonder that is you, and the miraculous nature of life as a human on the planet Earth.

Difficulties will come and go, arise and be resolved, take center stage and then recede. Throughout it all, you persist in your humanity, in your existence, your perceptions. Allow the sacred act of being yourself, just as you are, to flourish and represent the joy and beneficence of self acceptance, and the implications for the wider world.

The more presence and kindness and embodiment of unconditional love you recognize in yourself, the more you will witness and encourage in the world. A never-ending process of becoming and dissolving again. You are now as you are now. You will not be here again. Be you now.

Much Love and Many Blessings,
