PROSPECT FOR A NEW TIME

Now I know that we have to come down from the mountains.
To leave the airy summits, the wideness of the sky, to change the landscapes of the hills with the narrow valleys and the smell of the earth. To descend to the hills at the foot of the mountains and further down deep into the valleys. There life is waiting.
The clear and icy wind of the mountain tops is still with us, but we will breathe the air of the earth and will be bathing in the water of the rivers.
The earth will warm this icy wind, and the wind will refresh the lands
It will blow and spread the seeds and fertilise the valleys in a new way.

Words from a dream

Like this icy wind needs to be warmed by the earth, we need the feminine in the world, we need the ways of women to receive and live the consciousness that is being offered to the world and to give it with a character of warmth and humanness. This is how it becomes alive.
Women carry the essence of life within themselves. It is time to leave behind the spiritual conditioning that says the search for God requires a withdrawal from life.

We now have the possibility to rediscover and renew a very ancient feminine sciences of transformation. According to the needs of our time and our culture we can renew these pathways on which we make use of the keys to life. These keys can open gates into a world in which life shows again its sacred and sparkling substance, in which the divine is present, present in everything we live, in everything that is human. The gates could open for everybody not just a few initiates having access to an expanded consciousness. The gates could open for all humanity, for the collective to whom God has entrusted this earth.

Our world is calling for liveliness. We have become estranged from life and no longer see it through a vision of oneness. We have developed our consciousness by separating it from matter and we have separated heaven and earth so far from each other that our relationship to creation becomes more and more materialistic. At the same time we have completely forgotten that the creator could be related to His creation. The flow that will connect us again, the flow that will let us see life in the light of oneness is the flow of love.
The world is trembling. So many of us experience this trembling with fear and uncertainty. Some feel as if we will be shaken awake. People are asking themselves why we are being awoken like this. Is it to take notice of the light that rests waiting on the horizon? Is it to see the opportunity we have yet to embrace? Is it to recognize the presence of a new consciousness of love - a consciousness that is based upon the evolution of human kind and that will transform our being fundamentally?
If humanity really wants to say yes to this opportunity, then we must step towards this consciousness that waits for us. When our world is thirsty enough, we will need to reawaken and step onto the pathways of feminine wisdom that will bring this light of consciousness into life, that will give it a substance so that it can be born into the world.
Feminine wisdom and women themselves are needed, in order to receive a new consciousness of the divine and to help it live on earth in a balanced way.
Like the dark balances the light, the moon the sun, we need the feminine as well as the masculine, we need the power of the new consciousness awoken in women as well as the power of the masculine in order to make it liveable in the world.
If men and women begin again to value the feminine as an aspect of God and an aspect of His creation, the feminine can prepare the world for what is given.
If feminine intuition again relates to its inherent power, feminine consciousness can then receive the power of masculine consciousness in an intimate and melting embrace that carries in it the seed of new growth. This can happen not only on an individual but also on a collective level. Human beings can help to receive the consciousness that is given and integrate it in a balanced way into the so changeful life of our time. It is like preparing and purifying the earth - so it is empty and ready to receive the new seed and let it grow within.

In order to prepare and fertilize the earth we must recognize she holds a sacred substance. And more, it means to recognize the feminine in its powers and qualities, to nurture it and to live it. Then, it will become clear that there are feminine ways to meditate, spiritual pathways for women, for a feminine transformation.
Darkness and light, matter and spirit originate from the same source and they are contained within each other. The coming together of both leads to the birth of the new. Realizing again this simple truth brings about a new view onto the feminine and onto the whole mystery of creation. But this view can only come to life, if we recognize that the feminine carries a purity within that allows a woman different ways to follow than men do. For her, it is possible to receive the light that awakes her own light within her being, within the way she is, because her being is permeated with the sacred substance of life.

We are on the threshold of a new time in which humanity and spirituality can come together in a new way. This means we have possibilities to find collectively a more spiritual relationship to matter and a more physical relationship to spirituality. When the earth opens her arms to heaven, heaven cant help embracing her.
Teachers and masters of all times and traditions have again and again emphasized the meaninglessness of spirituality without humanity. Nevertheless we are far away from really living this truth. In order to do so, we must recognise the Creator in every moment of His creation seeing at the same time His face beyond creation.

This means for all of us, but especially for women, that we can let go of the belief and the fear that we can never enter the light of truth as long we are embraced by life. It is possible that we dance in celebration of life - full and empty at once - and at the same time see through the veils which are concealing the truth.
It is possible to go to God while embracing life, to surrender to Him while dancing, so that He can celebrate His beauty through us.
For a woman it is this stream of life that connects her to the Absolute; it flows from the circle of the Uncreated Eternal into this world and with this world again back to God. Its water is pure and clear because it contains this stainless substance that can never be polluted.
Signs are appearing here and there. Signs that our time contains a great opportunity for humanity. Life on our planet is threatened, menaced in an alarming way through greed and growing materialism. Yet, there appear possibilities that are barely visible, only just recognizable, possibilities to rediscover this pure flow and to find the sacredness of life in a new way.
Humanity can only embrace this opportunity when we turn again towards the feminine. When we give recognition to the feminine mysteries so they can reveal themselves and do their work. Women must develop again the courage to live their secrets, and men must find their native knightly attitude in which they meet the feminine with respect and love.
Are the hearts of women brave hearts? Are they ready, not tomorrow but today? Everything is given, but we need the courage to be ourselves and to live who we are. The feminine in the world calls, calls in every woman and to every woman. Women who are just beginning their search to find their own spiritual path as well as woman who are already initiated in a spiritual tradition, all stand on the threshold of a new beginning . We enter our own path with all of our feminine being, grateful for everything that we have learned from the masculine traditions and with respect and love for our unique ways.
Only when the holy halls of meditation resound again with the laughter of women and when stillness and emptiness are singing in the midst of the chaos of life, then the future will be dancing towards us in joy.
