MEDITATION ON
THE AQUARIAN AGE CHILD
Gone is the time when man cannot care for his brother. Way back with the evolving of the marshes, to the primitive animal and to the extinct, every step and stone, all things that lived and breathed, the very rocks upon the shores of history, all these make possible our civilisation today.
Gone, too, is the idea that war is victory, that one man should triumph over another in flesh and blood, that he should celebrate this.
Gone too, is the time when man can afford to exterminate man to try to find some ethical answer to a material question.
Gone, also, is the time when bells would ring and none would hear. Gone is that moment when death was a nothingness and despair.
This is an age of longevity, for men died young a century ago. Today evolution has made possible that we can stay here for twice, even three times that span and learn to live and incarnate and make full use of every life three times over because of the treasures and the materials of nature and the mind of man’s inventiveness fed from the great pool of the creative spirit.
Thus we have arrived at this moment of care. The world is our concern.
The cradle is the place to which we look and to the young who are reaching out with curiosity into their fresh lives.
The moment has long since gone when each man could be an island, for each of us are part of the great island of God reaching out, perhaps into stranger patterns than we have ever known before.
Let us walk with that sureness of inner conviction and see not despair in the great convulsions of evolution, but know them purely as the healing and the cleansing of old scarred wounds, which will pave the way for a new civilisation now this very minute being born.
We are the pathfinders at this special time. This is the moment of our greatest concern. This is the moment where the pure spirit of life can reach out into the problems, the needs, the illnesses, the despairs and bring out from the intuitive knowledge of the great fields of the Karmic sense, answers, thoughts and ideas which can be moulded again into a new fabric for this new foundation.
Our lives will be the stones upon which this new for of life will grow. Let us not grumble, neither be afraid, nor weary of well-doing. This is the moment for which we were born, to tend to those that come, to watch and to heed and togive and to be.
No initiation will be greater that at this present time. Time is shorter that we think and each of us becomes more valuable each day in our giving and, as we meet those waiting souls, as we go over on our final journey, let not our eyes be cast to the ground but be raise to the noble light. We will meet the light of their eyes and know that whatever we have done will be a work and a life well served.
