Many people think about, speak
about, write about the transition that is currently happening from the Age of
Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. What will the age of Aquarius offer? In some
ways it is a blank canvas. It can offer the manifestation of a new heaven and
earth where justice reigns. It can offer the promise of the new humanity, that
was prophesied to Paul, but did not come to maturity in the age of Pisces. One
thing it will likely not be is a change that is so drastic that it will
eliminate any and all of the problems we experience now and produce a utopia. That
kind of thinking leads to bypassing in favor of an expected future. That is not
my goal and should not be the goal of anyone. With this question in mind, lets
explore the age of Aquarius and the former age, the one we are leaving, the age
of Pisces
There is no settled agreement as
to when the age of Aquarius begins. One of the many theories put forth marks
2012 as the beginning. I personally favor that one because of the Mayan
Calendar ending in 2012. However, no matter the precise date, it is obvious
that the age is in transition, and we are moving from Pisces to Aquarius. What
is the precession of the equinoxes? Well, it is referred to as “The Great Year.”
It is a roughly 25,920-year period where the sun passes through the signs of
the zodiac. Each age, also called a Platonic Month, is roughly 2.160 years in
length. The age that we are leaving is the age of Pisces, and the age we are
transitioning into is the age of Aquarius. Of course, who has not heard of the
Broadway Play “Hair” and the song from that musical “The Age of Aquarius” a Fifth-Dimension
classic.
First, what were the traits of the
age of Pisces? Well, in the positive vein it was an age that emphasized and
developed the concept of faith. It was an age that was marked by monotheism and
the development of world religions. Since it is a water sign, and its symbol is
a fish it is interesting that the first Christians used the fish as a symbol
for their faith. It was the age where all of the world religions grew up. But
it was also an age with conflict that resulted from faith and those religions.
One religion deemed itself the only true religion and the result was bloodshed
and ongoing wars. It was an age that developed the idea of orthodoxy and that
invited heresy and heresy was met with intolerant violence. One of the most deleterious
aspects of the age of Pisces was that it was an age of deception, illusion, and
delusion.
Yet within it, some wonderful
concepts were introduced to humanity. The age of Pisces produced the mystical
revelation that informed us that God is love, and one of the mystics, the
Apostle Paul defined love and the fruit of the spirit. It may be wise to see
that the ages build on each other, and according to Mayan belief, the ages repeat
themselves but in the way of a spiral that produces ever increasing
enlightenment. Could it be that the age of Pisces set the stage for the advancement
of some of its nobler prophecies to be fulfilled in greater measure in the new
age of Aquarius?
Some of the possible positive
changes that the Age of Aquarius offers humanity is the ability to emphasize
compassion and kindness and truly provide equity and justice for all. In fact,
while this is repetition, I repeat this often, it will allow a greater tendency
toward the qualities listed by the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians chapter
thirteen. We will be able to love the other in greater measure, and here are the
attributes that Paul described. “Love is patient, love is kind. It
does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others,
it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” (1Co 13:4-8a)
What I am emphasizing here is that
since we are on the cusp of this new age, rapidly moving into it, that people
who are aware of the potential can begin to join together and build thought
forms that focus on this. There will be a natural renewed awareness of our
spirituality. The line between the material and the spiritual will be reduced
and a new understanding of spiritual materialism will break forth. More and
more people will become aware of their eternal nature and the link to divinity.
In other words, a lot of the teaching of Jesus will take on new meaning. The
exclusivity of Christianity will give way to eclectic spirituality that will
recognize and honor the mystical revelation from source that was given through
out the millennia to many different groups and religions, and a harmony will
ensue that will help eliminate division and strife.
Another of Paul’s mystical
revelations will come to fruition for all of humanity and not just one group.
Humanity will exhibit the fruit of the spirit in greater quantity. Love,
joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, meekness, and self-control
will greatly increase. This will stem from the realization that God is love and
that all of God’s creation is divine including humanity and that we are
co-creators and participate in the divine nature.
All the while, it is important to
not loose sight of where we are now, who we are now, and express as openly and
honestly as we can our authentic selves. In other words, the best thing we can
do is live our lives openly and honestly before God and men. Thinking in this
vane will produce thought forms that will propel humanity into its next
exciting phase.
