This year, 2008 (28/10/1) is about “As you sow, so shall you reap,” the Universal Law of Perfected Justice. This year begins the physical “foundation building” stage for the New Paradigm of the Worldwide Enlightened Society. The first principle of that foundation is Justice, not judgment. Justice is balancing everything so the process of the group moves efficiently and smoothly in the physical plane. This year is about both the seed and the harvest. The seed has to be “crystallized” to manifest in the physical. The seed is thought, your desires, clarified through the power of your imagination to be molded into actual substance. Don’t think of limitations for that will prevent you from “seeing” what can be. Instead, mix your intuitive Wisdom with a strong sense of Justice before you begin this new project. The goal is to accept and integrate that you are a valuable piece of this new six-billion-plus puzzle and to understand that the “one” of you is important to the success of the “one” of all.

March ([22] [11]) asks you to deal with the intensity of two Master Vibrations: Spiritual Master Builder on the Material Plane and the Spiritual Light Messenger. The Spiritual Builder will push you to think in large sweeping terms to help the human race. This work is building your piece of the Universal Wholeness for the planet by mastering your balance between material attachments and Spiritual aspirations so that you can manifest that balance in your life. The 11 will keep feeding into this with inspirations, insights and revelations. These energies are the Master Teacher who came to take this energy and help build a better foundation for the human race in the Aquarian Age. The goal is to end this month with an understanding of the necessity of balance and organization to build successfully for yourself and humankind.

The Art of Peace begins with you. Work on yourself and your appointed task in the Art of Peace. Everyone has a spirit that can be refined, a body that can be trained in some manner, a suitable path to follow. You are here for no other purpose than to realize your inner divinity and manifest your innate enlightenment. Foster peace in your own life and then apply the Art to all that you encounter
