“We’re riding along on the crest of a wave, and the sun is in the sky...”.
Some of you may remember these opening words of this song from The Scout Movement’s annual Gang Show. It was sung by smiling youngsters filled with hope and enthusiasm as they embarked on their journeys into adulthood, seeking to discover and learn, becoming valuable, good and resourceful citizens in the process.
We could all benefit from more of that enthusiasm perhaps, now, in the first months of 2025, and indeed as we progress towards 2026.
As a race, Humanity is entering a unique period in its history of awakening. This year is pivotal in that.
We haven’t experienced anything remotely like it on this planet for many thousands of years. In fact it is, as I said, unique.
What does it mean for us?
No one currently incarnated here on earth can fully intellectually grasp the details of the Divine Plan. Only those who are truly what are usually termed Masters of Wisdom know. But I can give a few pointers here that may help, for we may all experience at times:
Rapid outer changes, requiring us to be mentally centred and at the same time adaptable.
Increased sensitivity in our nervous systems both to the moods of others and also our changing environment. We are all becoming more electrical and electrically sensitive.
An increase in conflict around us and struggles between extremes as the mental pendulum swings back and forth.
The overuse and reliance on old scientific models and of technology in general.
The apparent breakdown of current economic and social norms and ever costly healthcare systems.
False prophets. Those who claim to have all the answers if we follow them without question.
But, there is good news. We are also becoming more able to ride on these waves of change and confusion on our mental surfboards if we learn to trust ourselves and be more inner-directed, guided by the great light of our own being through the practice of meditation, prayer and contemplation. We will then attain a more detached, insightful and wiser view of it all as our intuition flowers and we are increasingly inspired to ride on the crest of the higher waters of life that are there for us.
So I suggest that you get your surfboard out and ready, start practising now and then you will be perfectly fine, whatever waves comes along.
