Part 6.
Age of Aquarius
Yes, we have talked about why now, and the answer just might be the stars are now aligned for humanity to spiritually evolve, as currently the universe is also evolving itself.
“The universe has a body and soul and evolves through cosmic time. As microcosms of stardust, we do the same.”
— Deepak Chopra
“It is one light which beams out of a thousand stars. It is one soul which animates all men.”
— Essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.”
— John Lennon, “Instant Karma” (song lyrics)
Therefore...
“If a man cannot feel the power of God when he looks upon the stars, then I doubt whether he is capable of any feeling at all.”
— Philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero
“For the wise man looks into space and he knows there is no limited dimensions.”
— Lao Tzu
“Stars are holes in the sky from which the light of the infinite shines.”
— Confucius
Furthermore...
“The optimization of cosmic darkness and of Earth's location within the dark universe that sacrifices neither the material needs of human beings nor their capacity to gain knowledge about the universe reflects masterful engineering at a level far beyond human capability- and even imagination. It testifies of a supernatural, superintelligent, super powerful, fully deliberate Creator.”
— Actor Hugh Jackman
“The whole universe is but the footprint of the Divine goodness.”
— Poet Dante Alighieri
“I am convinced that...in the struggle for righteousness man has cosmic companionship.”
— Martin Luther King, Jr
So, the questions we must ask ourselves are...
“One universe, four forces, billions of galaxies. The precision and complexity of our world is enough to make even the famous cosmologist go just a little bit crazy. How does it all fit together? Is there a single, overarching design to the cosmos? And if we find it, will we glimpse the mind of God?”
— Actor Morgan Freeman
“'I want to know the mind of God,' Einstein said. 'The rest are details.' What is the mind of God? Consciousness."
— Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth
And...
“Do you imagine the universe is agitated? Go into the desert at night and look out at the stars. This practice should answer the question..... The master settles her mind as the universe settles the stars in the sky. By connecting her mind with the subtle origin, she calms it. Once calmed, it naturally expands, and ultimately her mind becomes as vast and immeasurable as the night sky.”
— Lao Tzu
And that brings us to the Age of Aquarius. Now I didn’t really know much about the Age of Aquarius until I read the brilliant book “Age of Aquarius – Spiritual Reckoning” by Melinda Merrit. And here are some very crucial excerpts from this spiritually insightful book that justifies “Why Now?” pertaining to our species’ conscious evolution.
“We are going to experience something huge in the way of life changes very soon. We need to rise to the occasion. The old way of serving and honoring the Creator is over. The Creator wants us to go to a higher level and meet with him. In my opinion, the churches and the religious institutions have dulled the senses of too many people. We have to “look behind the curtains” as my grandma would say. Humanity should be exploiting the mysteries behind the words we read in the Bible.” Seeking a deeper meaning is where the Holy Spirit can help. It can open your “third eye” to reveal an elevation of power and miracles which the Creator has for us. We have all we need when we receive the Holy Spirit in our day to day lives in all that we do. The Age of Aquarius is all about the Holy Spirit coming to Earth for 2,000+ years.”
“The spiritual energy present today is what will rule the day. It is the Holy Spirit itself that is here and it rules the spiritual energy. One of the characteristics of the Age of Aquarius is the introduction of a new way of expressing your spirituality. There will be a new and better spirituality system here shortly. … At this time in man’s history, we are better able to understand the connection between us and the Heavenly Hosts. The ancient people had a better understanding, but the knowledge somehow got buried. Time has come for mankind to do a more magical and mysterious way of thinking about life. The Holy Spirit is here for that reason. The traditional way of understanding the Holy Spirit is here for a reason. The traditional ways of understanding the Holy Spirit will be elevated to levels never before seen. We have to raise our consciousness to meet this spiritual energy through receiving the Holy Spirit.”
“More and more people want the true spirituality given by the Holy Spirit. This need makes them seek new leaders in truth. The imbalance caused by this error in religion by man, demands a correction by the Cosmos. This Age of Aquarius will bring about cleansing and correction in the realm of religion. People are already awakening to the need to do the right thing. The “same old same old” is not going to work.”
And cosmically speaking...
“I know, by the Lord's grace, I am a small part in the cosmic play.”
— Singer/Songwriter George Harrison
“I believe in the cosmos. All of us are linked to the cosmos.”
— Mikhail Gorbachev (Former Soviet Union Leader)
“It is not so much that you are within the cosmos but that the cosmos is within you.”
— Spiritual Master Meher Baba
“The cosmic spotlight isn't pointed at you; it radiates from within you.”
— Marianne Williamson
“You are a cosmic happening rooted in a local event, NOT the other way around.”
— Author Michael Beckwith
“With spirit we are all children of the cosmos; Without it we are orphaned and adrift.”
— Deepak Chopra
For example...
“We find our own system, cosmology. The writer, the artist, the child untapped, the pain. It is all a gift.”
— Actress/Model/Activist Pamela Anderson, "Love, Pamela”
Unfortunately, currently...
“What disconcerts the modern world at its very roots is not being sure, and not seeing how it ever could be sure, that there is an outcome-a suitable outcome to evolution. Half our present uneasiness would be turned to happiness if we could once make up our minds to accept the facts and place the essence and the measure of our modern cosmogonies within a noogenesis.”
— Jesuit Priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Therefore, what does all this connection with the cosmos make of astronomy?
“There are spiritual patterns at work in the universe and these announce themselves with impressive regularity wherever human minds and hearts attempt to attune themselves to the cosmos in all its radiant dimensions.”
— Theorist Ken Wilber
Which means...
“Astronomy, that micrography of heaven, is the most magnificent of the sciences. ... Astronomy has its clear side and its luminous side; on its clear side it is tinctured with algebra, on its luminous side with poetry.”
— Poet Victor Hugo
“Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world to another.”
— Philosopher Plato
“There is another world, but it is in this one.”
— Poet William Butler Yeats
And this other world, could it be Heaven on Earth?
“The starry vault of heaven is in truth the open book of cosmic projection.”
— Psychotherapist Carl Jung
“If thou follow thy star, thou canst not fail of glorious heaven.”
— Poet Dante Alighieri
And what will this Heaven look like?
“Harmony and understanding. Sympathy and trust abounding. No more falsehoods or derisions. Golden living dreams of visions. Mystic crystal revelation. And the mind's true liberation. Aquarius, Aquarius. When the moon (when the moon) is in the Seventh House. And Jupiter (Jupiter) aligns with Mars. Then peace will guide the planets. And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius. Age of Aquarius.”
— “Age of Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In”, 5th Dimension (song lyrics)
That sounds nice.
And from an independent source and one who was also tapped into the stars...
“But like the solar system is going through a change soon and it's going to affect the Earth in about 30 years.”
— Rock Star Jimi Hendrix
For those who don’t believe the prophecies of “The 2nd Coming of Christ” or “The Meek will inherit the Earth,” because they’re too biblical in nature—or that our Noosphere has matured, or that science says we can, because it’s too intellectual in nature—and are still searching for the answer to the question, “Why now?” maybe the creation of Heaven on Earth comes down to something as simple as the alignment of the stars.
Could the answer to this “Why now?” question be as easy as the Age of Aquarius is upon us, and the access to the Holy Spirit in the world of form is now available to humanity more than at any time in the history of man? And couldn’t this Age of Aquarius be nothing more than the universe evolving itself—and by evolving, giving humanity greater access to the Holy Spirit (i.e. The 2nd Coming of Christ)?
Greater access to this newfound presence of the Holy Spirit will easily guide us back to our true home—Heaven on Earth—as long as we spiritually evolve too, to meet it. And just maybe that is all we need in this moment in time: to take that one beginning conscious evolutionary step toward “the Heavens” (i.e. the OCA Movement), and this newfound presence of the Holy Spirit will guide us the rest of the way home.
Therefore, couldn’t the answer to “Why now?” be as simple as this: it is the Age of Aquarius, which is the evolution of the universe, and we, humanity—who are part of the universe—are here to go along for the ride.
We, as a divine, spiritual species, just have to decide when to jump on board, as the OCA Movement will be your ticket to ride. And conveniently, the boarding pass is available right now.
