The year 2000: Making the choice to change<\/p>\n
By Tishy Bruce<\/p>\n
JAKARTA (JP): What is the meaning behind the number 2000? Why
\nis it relevant in this new Age of Aquarius? What is the Age of
\nAquarius?<\/p>\n
In numerological terms, the number 2 relates to balance and
\nco-operation. The number 0 relates to recognizing our inner
\ngifts: looking to see what is right for us, what we are good at,
\nwhat makes us feel at ease and what makes us feel happy, creative
\nand strong inside. It is a number that also means balance,
\ncompletion, roundedness of self and becoming whole.<\/p>\n
It is well known that the Age of Aquarius is a new beginning
\nfor humanity. During this Age, humanity as a whole will finally
\nlearn and act upon the knowledge that peace and love and harmony
\nare possible and are a lot more fulfilling than anger, war and
\nchaos.<\/p>\n
The increased frequency of electromagnetic vibrations evident
\nover the last few years has effected the Earth and its people in
\nvarious ways. There has keen upheaval and chaos around the world
\n(not just in Indonesia) in the form of weather anomalies and
\ngeophysical changes.<\/p>\n
On the geophysical front, these changes in electromagnetic
\nfrequency have been shown by the incredible number of
\nearthquakes, eruptions, floods and stormy conditions.<\/p>\n
These changes in electromagnetic frequencies also effect us on
\nemotional and mental levels and in many different ways: those
\nactually struck by the geophysical upheavals have been made
\nhomeless, have lost their loved ones, have lost material
\npossessions and have suffered the trauma of those conditions.<\/p>\n
Onlookers too have felt traumatized by their own conflicting
\nemotions of compassion, hopelessness and inadequacy. Throughout
\nthe world there seems to have been an escalation in interracial
\nor cultural wars resulting in an enormous loss of life and,
\nagain, terrible trauma. On the personal front, many people have
\nfelt that they are going through a time of change and have felt
\ntheir own personal chaos and conflict. Things have seemed out of
\ncontrol.<\/p>\n
State of balance<\/p>\n
However, we have the ability to ride these waves of change by
\nstaying in a state of balance which can enable us to take an
\noverview of any situation. We can learn to cooperate with the
\nforces of chaos by understanding that behind and beyond chaos
\nthere is calm. All states have an opposite and equal balancing
\nforce, and it is this that we have to recognize and grasp -- with
\nboth hands. Each negative has a positive: a balance.<\/p>\n
The dramatic changes which have occurred around the world and
\nin our personal life may have moved us to anger. However, that is
\nokay too, as -- used constructively -- deep anger has a passion
\njust as deep as love has. All emotional states can be viewed
\npositively.<\/p>\n
The energy of passion can lift us out of depression and
\nlethargy into a state of movement and enthusiasm. There is a
\nmagnificence in the energy of passion that we can harness
\nconstructively to insist upon change.<\/p>\n
The energy during the next few months is markedly different
\nfrom the energy of the early months of this year. It is an
\ninnovative energy that impels us to move from old, often
\ntraditional, modes of thinking. Let us use this energy to change.<\/p>\n
Change is good. It makes us strong. It gives us an opportunity
\nto rethink our values. In fact, we are becoming so desperate to
\nchange that we are, at last, recognizing that as individuals we
\nneed to make our own stand for what we feel is right.<\/p>\n
We will become much more aware of the power of the individual
\nto effect change within a group. The group may be your family,
\nyour community, your country or your planet. Once a person is
\nopen to their individuality they become aware that they need to
\nexpress themselves.<\/p>\n
This is the time within the Age of Aquarius that we can dream
\nof our future and make it happen. Just the realization that we
\ncare earns us our own self-respect. Honoring yourself is
\nrecognizing your inner gifts.<\/p>\n
Honor<\/p>\n
This quote from Caroline Myss' recent book: Why People Don't
\nHeal and How they Can is appropriate:<\/p>\n
\"Honor is essential to healing, more essential than is
\nprobably realized. Honor is honesty. It is the promise to oneself
\nabove all not to negotiate the boundaries of dignity for material
\ngain.\"<\/p>\n
Living with such integrity magically expands to teach us
\nrespect for all other forms of life. Have you noticed how many
\nself-awareness courses there are? How many courses are available
\nthat enable people to reevaluate their modus operandi at work to
\ncooperate with fellow workers and respect their input; have you
\nnoticed how people are trying to bring their own set of
\nindividual values into work?<\/p>\n
People are tired of fear: they want to be honest, expressive
\nand true to their inner driving force.<\/p>\n
Incidentally, alternative therapies of all types can be
\nhelpful in achieving a state of balance, and can help us release
\nsubconscious fears by adjusting our energy so that it is in a
\nstate of openness. More and more people are recognizing that if
\nthey deal with their emotional, mental and spiritual needs they
\nsuffer less stress and are happier and healthier.<\/p>\n
They are using alternative therapies to achieve this end.
\nMeditation can help us recognize our inner powers and can help us
\nchange thought patterns (on a macro and microcosmic level).<\/p>\n
If we can insist upon giving ourselves time to reflect and
\nbalance, we can affect lasting change. We have the knowledge of
\nwhat chaos brings. Now we can use this knowledge and bring it to
\na higher state: wisdom. We need to learn more about each other --
\nnot just about people but nature in all its various guises. We
\ncan learn to cooperate and negotiate from a point of empathy.<\/p>\n
We do not need to bulldoze our way through life feeling that
\nwe are the only ones that are right; we need to be humble enough
\nto truly listen to other people's points of view. We can develop
\ntolerance. Everybody and everything is right.<\/p>\n
Balance and cooperate with yourself and others. Recognize that
\nyou cannot live without feeling good about yourself (number 0).
\nThere is a trinity of 0's this year. Three is a stabilizing
\nnumber, a number that relates to creativity and a number that
\nrecognizes God within Man. Number 2 has an energy that inspires
\nyou to expand this feeling to your immediate group.<\/p>\n
The Age of Aquarius relates to the ability to value yourself
\nas an individual within a group: to use your individual talents
\nto cooperate with others without fear of lacking. In this year,
\nand the years that follow, we will understand that we can trust.
\nWe can lean upon our trust in our own integrity and our knowledge
\nof the laws of energy (like attracts like) to drop distrust. We
\ncan create a world of peace and love. We can, individually, learn
\nthe art of balance and cooperation. We -- YOU -- can do this.<\/p>",
