We are all in
the gutter,
but some of us
are looking at
the stars.
Oscar
Wilde
We're living through one of the most tumultuous and significant
periods in history's astrological playbook.
A massive cosmic
timepiece turned the hands of destiny into a new position, and all
hell broke loose for the players in the game of life on Earth who've
no idea what is really going on.
Over very large spans of time in our long and often brutal history,
there is nothing much to report on the astrological front.
Boring planetary
configurations that only have meaning for specific events in the
life and times of an individual or society.
Then suddenly, at certain
cosmic power points, things come to a head when the signs in the sky
indicate huge changes, and we see it all play out on the ground here
in the affairs of humanity.
There is no doubt that all our forebears - who helped guide
societies over thousands of years before this current age - would be
paying close attention, wholly preoccupied with the sky and studying
these major astrological transits and conjunctions.
The seers of all ancient civilizations, the medieval
astrologers in Western Europe and all the East, as well as
theologians and advisors to royalty down through the ages, not to
forget those men who helped birth the modern scientific framework
like Tycho Brahe, Johannes Kepler and Galileo,
all would be
fascinated by what we are seeing right now in the heavens, and
what it means for the immediate future...
What is Happening?
Without getting into the technical aspects (you'll have to study up
on this yourself), the following is an overview of the significant
astrological dynamics.
The rare series of Uranus/Pluto squares from June 2012 to March 2015
signaled what was to come.
A square is a
90-degree aspect between two planets that indicates conflict.
These seven exact squares
happened between Uranus - the planet of radical change - and Pluto -
the planet of transformation, power and subconscious forces.
On 12 January 2020, Saturn conjoined Pluto at 22° Capricorn for a
single and dramatic pass.
The two planets met in
the same position in the same zodiac sign, signifying a very
powerful merging of planetary energies. Although Saturn and
Pluto conjoin every 31 to 37 years in different zodiac signs, it was
over 500 years since they conjoined in Capricorn!
In astrology, Saturn is associated with restriction and limitation.
Most astrologers concur
that this Saturn/Pluto conjunction signified major
impacts on power structures, more so because Capricorn 'rules' the
domain of government (previous Saturn/Pluto conjunctions took place
at recent turning points in world history, for example, in 1913-1916
and 1946-1948).
As it turned out,
Covid-19 was officially identified
by scientists right on the conjoin of Saturn/Pluto in January
2020.
Uprisings and
protests across the globe correlated with this dynamic.
The push and pull of this
conjunction reflected in the collapse of outdated structures
but also helped solidify newly emerging bodies.
Historian and professor of philosophy and psychology Richard
Tarnas describes these Saturn/Pluto periods as bringing an,
"irrevocable
termination of an established order of existence" and "a
widespread sense of victimization and suffering under the impact
of cataclysmic and oppressive forces of history."
Pandemic
Patterns
Next up in 2020 was Jupiter and Pluto conjoining in Capricorn on 5
April, 30 June and 12 November.
There hadn't been a
Jupiter/Pluto conjunction in Capricorn since the year 1771...
Throughout history, many
plagues and pandemics coincided with the conjunction of Jupiter -
the planet of expansion and knowledge - and shadowy Pluto, which
rules all things hidden and buried.
Three examples:
In September 1771,
the Russian plague (Jupiter/Pluto in Capricorn) hit its peak,
killing an estimated 1,000 Moscow residents a day (20,000
confirmed dead that month alone).
In 1981, the HIV epidemic officially arrived, spawning the AIDS
crisis. Jupiter and Pluto were meeting up in Libra, the sign of
relationships, from October and November 1981.
In January and February 1918, Jupiter and Pluto were travelling
together in Cancer. A terrible flu pandemic - known as the
'Spanish flu' - broke out during this time, infecting an
estimated 500 million people - one-quarter of the world's
population - and resulting in 50 million deaths worldwide.
There is an interesting
dynamic between the events of 1918 and 2020 in regard to scientific
and technological developments in medicine.
Journalist and historian John M. Barry, in his book The
Great Influenza - The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History,
notes that the history of the 'Spanish flu' is not just,
"chaos, death and
desolation of society in a war against nature," but also "a
history of science, of discovery, of how one thinks and how to
change the way one thinks, how, in the midst of almost absolute
chaos, some men sought the coldness of contemplation, the
absolute calm that precedes not philosophy but, rather, severe
and determined action."
Barry says the 'Spanish
flu' was,
"the first major
clash between nature and modern science."
Modern science's way out
of
the Covid-19 crisis, building upon
this foundation, has been to rely on
experimental vaccines based on new
technologies (largely ignoring natural immunity
strategies...).
This invokes dystopian
visions of life inside techno-bubble worlds cut off from nature.
Great
Conjunction
On 21 December 2020, in an extra-special rare celestial event,
Jupiter and Saturn appeared as one bright star when both planets
conjoined or 'kissed'.
The Great Conjunction
of 2020 was visible from across the world.
To view it was a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Great Conjunction significantly occurred at the beginning
degree of Aquarius (on the Solstice point).
The last time these
two planets conjoined in Aquarius was back on 7 January 1405.
This powerful dynamic is
considered a celestial omen and the preeminent method of demarcating
historical eras in traditional astrology.
Great Conjunctions were
always closely observed by astrologers and linked to the rise and
fall of royalty, leaders, and societies.
The fact this Great Conjunction inaugurates a new Air element
Grand Mutation cycle, with all the related Aquarian
symbolism, suggests we have stepped through one of the entry doors
into this long-heralded new age.
2021 Onwards
to the New Age
The incredibly volatile period stirred up in 2020 continued into
2021.
The year started with a
massive sequence of transits in January, including the major
Saturn/Uranus Square running from 2020 to 2023.
On the horizon looms Pluto's tour through Aquarius from 2024 to
2044. This dynamic is seen as formally marking our official entry
into the Age of Aquarius.
Prophecy scholar and astrologer John Hogue sees Pluto's 2024
entry into Aquarius marking the birth of "Generation One or
Generation Zero."
It is they who will
decide whether to look,
"backward into the
past and give birth to human extinction," or "open to the new
and celebrate the unknown... in this oncoming time of the Great
Purification [as foreseen by
the Hopi]."
Different
Perspectives on NOW
What does it all mean for 'now'...?
It depends on your
perspective and where you're coming from (culture) and as an
individual (mental programming, beliefs etc.).
At the end of 2020,
Russian astrologer Tatiana Borsch predicted that 2021 would
be a year of challenges for the US and most countries of the world.
"As this global
financial crisis unfolds, expect a stronger China and a weakened
US and Europe. America's economic and political system might
waste away, which could take place faster than we think," said
Tatiana.
This is contrasted by
predictions made by various astrologers in Western countries like
the United States and Australia.
For many of them, the
world is moving into an Aquarian Age that embraces Western liberal
values and lifestyles.
The tragedy is they build
their outlook on Piscean era foundations of exceptionalism and
superiority, conflating their belief in the modern myth of
progress with an "evolution of consciousness."
Truth is, says the talented UK-based writer and astrologer
Jessica Davidson, in the coming years,
"we can be sure
there'll be no sudden shift into a liberal and progressive
paradise of freedom and equality."
When the signs in the sky
match the events on the ground, all we do know is something big is
at hand.
Your best bet is to stand
objectively above the prejudices and biases of your age and culture
and drop the pretentious claptrap.
All transitions involve
pain and adjustments - and one would hope much reflection.
Brazilian
Insights
At the time of the Great Conjunction in December 2020, the
well-informed Brazilian journalist Pepe Escobar spoke to the
respected Brazilian astrologer Vanessa Guazzelli.
For over a decade,
Escobar has been reporting on,
the emerging
multipolar world and the rise of Russia and China, amidst the
structural collapse of the old order.
Vanessa Guazzelli
Guazzelli told Escobar that the rising new age Aquarian-Leo dynamic
indicates,
"it is not the time
for a hegemonic single star to rule the world, but a time of
many stars illuminating the entire sky.
It is not a time
for a single empire.
There can be
empires, if in plural...
It is time for a
multipolar world - now that is the Mandate of Heaven."
She also observes,
"the strong Aquarian
edge activated in China's astrological progressions when the
Belt and Road Initiative was
first proposed by Xi Jinping in Astana, in 2013, and how
it connected to the degree of the Great Mutation (progressed
Venus and Jupiter conjunct AC at 1º Aquarius)."
The Saturn/Neptune
dynamic strongly connects with collective ideals in politics,
religion and society.
Saturn, material reality
and structure, combines with Neptune, transcendence and idealism
associated with collective dreams and inspiration.
This astro-combo in
conjunction, square or opposition is particularly pertinent to
societies with strong sociocultural linguistic structure like
China and Russia, as well as Asia in general.
Guazzelli notes a Saturn/Neptune opposition when,
"Vladimir Putin
gave his historical speech in Munich, proposing the Eurasian
Integration in February 2007."
A Saturn/Neptune square
coincided with strong, synchronized speeches by Putin and Xi at the
70th UN Assembly in 2015,
"affirming the
multipolarity of the world."
"The next
Saturn/Neptune aspect will be the conjunction in February 2026,"
declares Guazzelli, "inaugurating a brand new cycle... towards
multipolarity."
Jessica Davidson,
in her article 'The Saturn Pluto Conjunction - Start of the New
World Order', states:
"We're at the end of
the era of Anglo-American dominance as the power centre shifts
towards a multipolar world.
It's not clear
exactly how this will play out but there are many who want to
maintain the current system, unable to give up their position at
the top of the global totem pole.
This conjunction
marks the start of a period of transition between systems so it
could feel chaotic for some time."
All this was outlined by
farsighted long-time New Dawn contributor Mehmet Sabeheddin
back in 2003 (in the wake of the Anglo-American war on Iraq):
The current turmoil
and conflict unleashed on the planet by the United States and
Britain is only the beginning of the climax of a struggle
between cosmic influences of which most people are completely
unaware.
Today, America
and Britain embody atrophied and degraded Piscean energies...
The Anglo-Americans,
as the standard-bearers of bankrupt Western materialism, are
trying to reorganize the world, imposing their imbalanced,
egoistic approach to life on all societies.
Yet their latest
brutal and insane actions, witnessed in the tragic
invasion of Iraq, are part of a
frantic effort to prolong their collapsing system.
Despite all their
apparent power and wealth, Anglo-American universalism is in a
state of rapid decline leading to death.
A new era, a new consciousness, and a new people are on the
horizon as the planet goes through a turbulent transitional
period paving the way to the
Aquarian Age.
In 2022, the United
States will experience its Pluto return.
This astrological
phenomenon occurs when transiting Pluto returns to the same
zodiac sign and degree as it holds within the natal chart - in
this case, not an individual but a country - the USA, born on 4
July 1776.
It's a cycle of
approximately 247 years.
Pluto always has a sense
of fate to it, especially in this critical time of major world
changes.
"The return of the
lord of the underworld also speaks of the return of that which
was repressed, hidden or rejected.
It will have three
exact hits throughout 2022, and the final and definitive of the
next Pluto cycle has the planet of death and regeneration facing
Black Moon Lilith in Cancer, in opposition.
Karma is a bitch and
hits home," warns Guazzelli.
However,
"this doesn't mean
the American Empire will fall by 2022, but it is collapsing and
will undergo dramatic transformations in the coming decade."
From Pisces to
Aquarius
We may not have overcome the clichés and New Age connotations
associated with the line out of the 1967 musical 'Hair' - This is
the dawning of the Age of Aquarius - but the astrological truth of
the situation is clear-cut for anyone with eyes to see.
On the level of cosmic time, we are tentatively stepping into the
Age of Aquarius from the Age of Pisces.
Astrology posits a cosmic
imprint over the course of the Ages on human society - its religion,
philosophy, myths, science, music, arts, etc.
Over immense periods,
subtle but distinct patterns manifest in the consciousness of
humanity - a sort of unfolding of the collective spiritual state of
humankind in a grand cycle known as the 'Great Year' that measures
25,920 years.
The Great Year
divides into 12 months, each lasting approximately 2,160 years,
corresponding to the 12 divisions of the zodiac.
The imprint of Aquarius
is all around to see:
electricity,
computers, the internet, flight, space exploration, individual
freedom, humanitarianism, idealism, rebellion, nonconformity,
and even the renewed interest in astrology...
As an 'Air' zodiac sign,
Aquarius pertains to the mental realms.
As the element of the
incoming age, Air makes communication and inventiveness two of its
most outstanding characteristics. This factor also stimulates the
mental sphere of humanity towards brotherhood and the integration of
knowledge.
However, as I noted in my article 'The Dark Side of Aquarius -
Upheaval, Revolution & Mind Control in the Transition Between Ages'
in New Dawn 161:
"Aquarius's energies
are feeding the dark side of human beings at the same time they
are stimulating a higher calling..."
And:
"The dying energies
(and systems of thought) of the previous age intensify and
poison the winds of change blowing in from the new age."
We're living in a period
when the old energies mix with the first rays of the new - but the
old (outwardly and inwardly) very much runs the show.
The energies of Aquarius - seeping into the minds of a humanity born
in the twilight of the Piscean Age - are liable to have negative
impacts to that predicted by the believers in positive change:
a manifestation of
the worse tendencies of Aquarian nature - its dark side.
"[Y]ou will feel
as if you are happy, as if you are a citizen living in the
harmonious New Age," writes John Hogue.
"You will be
seduced into believing it. In fact, in the darker realm of
the future, the more people will be programmed not to think
for themselves at all."
These negative aspects of
Aquarius resonate in today's world.
Covid-Control

complexion of the saturnine sign

may be the humanitarian,

corrupted by the simple fact
that he is fixed
Air.
This can

as something of

tyrant.
P. James
Clark
classical
astrologer
The traditional planetary ruler of Aquarius, Saturn, was seen as the
'great malefic' because it represents restrictions, difficulties,
scarcity and was connected to the Lord of Time - Chronos - of Greek
mythology.
The global response
to Covid has a saturnine Aquarian
feel about it.
Worshipping at the
altar of science, health surveillance & control systems,
lockdowns, quarantines, social distancing, the constant appeals
and declarations of humanitarianism.
The 'new
normal' quickly became an embrace of 'Big Brother' as
governments of all political orientations around the world assumed
unprecedented control over their citizens' daily lives in response
to Covid.
Governments in
so-called democracies like Australia assumed emergency powers.
Cynical observers are increasingly thinking the response to
Covid hides another agenda.
If politicians consulted
learned astrologers, they would have been forewarned to prepare for
a difficult period.
J.P. Morgan,
America's first billionaire banker, apparently held that
millionaires don't need astrologers,
but billionaires do...
Great Resets
It is no
measure of health
to be well
adjusted
to a profoundly
sick society.
Jiddu
Krishnamurti
Most readers of New Dawn have heard about the 'Great
Reset' of World Economic Forum founder
Klaus Schwab - a tectonic
society-wide shift that,
imposes changes on
how we live, work and interact with each other.
The Great Reset entails a
transformation of society resulting in permanent restrictions on
fundamental liberties and mass surveillance as entire sectors are
sacrificed to boost the monopoly and hegemony of,
-
pharmaceuticals
corporations
-
high-tech/big
data giants
-
Amazon
-
Google
-
major global
chains
-
the digital
payments sector, etc.
Under cover of Covid-19
lockdowns and restrictions, a 'Fourth
Industrial Revolution'
is being rolled out in which older enterprises are to be driven to
bankruptcy or absorbed into monopolies, effectively shutting down
vast sections of the pre-Covid economy.
Astrologer Guazzelli was astonished to learn that the Great Reset
launched in January 2021,
"so close to the
Great Mutation at the end of December 2020. I doubt this is a
mere coincidence or 'synchronicity'."
"Possibly aware of
this great transition," she told Escobar "the [WEF]
Davos crew seem to be actually
trying to reset the system they already rule with their own
settings and revive the dying system as a cyborg from hell."
Only the arrogantly
foolish believe Schwab and the old global elite wouldn't take
a look at what humanity's oldest science has to say about NOW -
especially with so much hanging on a Great Reset to keep a hold on
power.
Perhaps they know, writes Jessica Davidson, that,
"Pluto in Aquarius
means the power shifts to the people and society at large,
rather than a small group that dominates from the top down. But
they won't give up their power easily."
"That means things won't change unless we change."
Eastern Winds
Now winds
blow from the East and from Eurasia,
inspiring new
forms of co-existence.
But the
controllers of capital, wealth and worldly power
won't give it up
without a fight,
or a few wars
and a heavy load of social control
via technology,
capturing bodies and minds.
What will it be
- Great Reset or Great Mutation?
Vanessa
Guazzelli
Two hundred years ago, Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte famously
remarked that,
"China is a sleeping
giant. Let her sleep for when she wakes up, she will move the
world."
China is well and truly
on the move, along with a resurgent and confident Russia.
"With the end of the
Piscean era, history and civilization are reorienting,"
Mehmet Sabeheddin observed back in 2003.
"We are seeing a
return to origins with the emergence of a new power centre at
the cross-roads of the East and West, in Eurasia."
Pepe Escobar has
written extensively on the multipolar world and belated failing
Anglo-American plans to forge a full spectrum anti-China front.
Trying to 'teach' others how to live is also a failed strategy.
To avoid bitter conflict,
now is a better time to accept coexistence with the diverse cultures
on Earth which express different spiritual, ethical, political and
economic frameworks.
Who knows what gems of
wisdom and human possibility may bloom in Aquarius' seedbed?
Faulty
Thinking
Although we're in the eye of an astrological storm - on a tipping
point of chaos and uncertainty - the time is also pregnant for
positive change and sudden breakthroughs.
But we need to avoid
misconceptions and false judgments - especially regarding how
Westerners have projected fears and their values onto other
societies.
Harnessing Aquarian impulses from the perspective of Piscean
thinking will get you nowhere.
Despite being high-minded
and for universal brotherhood - hallmarks of the coming age when it
flowers - Aquarius isn't as objective as it thinks it is, and can
get caught up in groupthink and fanaticism.
The shadow side of
Aquarius is its propensity to want to reform everybody and a
skewed view of equality, limited to the realm of ideas and debate
but lacking in terms of the heart and emotion.
This is all playing today in the era of Covid control and the
emerging biopower.
As noted by Guazzelli,
"the nefarious
potential of the Aquarian emphasis is the control of society
through technology, be it techno-feudalism or, gods forbid,
techno-slavery.
On the brighter side
of the Force, Aquarius is about a social project to sustain life
and meet the needs of the people.
Both dimensions or
systems might co-exist on Earth for a while."
Astrologer John Hogue
suggests the authorities of the coming age might,
"fashion
psycho-weapons out of the Aquarian element of atmosphere and
mood... and you may not even feel the repression."
"The police state of tomorrow will be clean and corporate, and
you will be happy. You can't help it because your genes were
altered at birth.
And whatever bad
moods or antisocial behavior that cannot be altered by gene
splicing can be dulled by drugs or distracted by an
entertainment fix.
Tomorrow's negative
Utopia will be more like Aldous Huxley's
Brave New World," predicted
Hogue in his 1994 book The Millennium Book of Prophecy.
Ultimately, faulty
thinking will likely land us in a dead-end passage of no return.
This is best encapsulated by the technocentric and
anthropocentric Transhumanist movement which views the Earth
merely as the backdrop for human 'enhancement'.
Unmoved one inch from its
foundation stones of materialism and the progress myth, the human
being is regarded as a biological computer to be enhanced and its
life extended in perpetuity in the cloud - a techno-version of
Heaven.
Cleverness and artificial
intelligence replace wisdom, spiritual insight and genuine
self-actualization.
"The goal of
humanity
is conceived as
being to become
more and more
clever,
as if this were
the equivalent
of becoming
spiritually fulfilled,"
says philosopher
Jeremy Naydler.
Just as
Transhumanist ideology
envisages the human future as inseparable from the machine, so
too it envisages nature's destiny as to serve as a kind of
substratum of a vast artificial Global Brain.
What the
Internet of Things, and the
creation of a so-called 'intelligent planet', means is the total
saturation of the Earth with non-biological 'intelligence'.
Through emerging
nanotechnologies and enhanced microelectronics, 'intelligent'
control of the natural environment and many of the organisms
within it will be greatly strengthened.
And so the Global
Brain awakens... Thus the destiny of the universe is conceived
as being ultimately to become an enormous supercomputer.
It is a dream of
insane proportions...

for a Human Future

Near-Death
Experience
Aquarius
will be the new age, the new life.
First, there
will be disastrous events,
gigantic
upheavals, turmoil
and change of
all kinds....
Omraam
Mikhael Aivanhov
(1900–1986)
Aquarius by Salvador Dali
(born
with Saturn in Aquarius)
When individuals have close brushes with death, they often have
profound experiences and undergo significant changes in outlook and
personality.
Similarly, a
near-death experience (NDE)
for a whole society could instigate a process of reflection and
healing.
Devastating changes can be understood as necessary purgations
affecting the transformation of humanity into a new mode of being,
says NDE expert and psychologist Kenneth Ring:
By analogy, just as
the individual near-death experiencer may have to endure the
pain and suffering associated with the trauma of almost dying
before positive personal transformation can take place, so the
world may need to undergo a "planetary near-death experience"
before it can
awaken to higher, more spiritual, collective
consciousness with universal love at its core.
The Aquarian
Mode
Whether
the Age of Aquarius
turns out to be
a utopia
or an Orwellian
nightmare,
we ultimately
have responsibility
for our own
awareness and attitudes,
and in some ways
that may be
the most
Aquarian lesson of all.
Ray
Grasse
The hallmarks of the
Age of Aquarius, we are told, are,
universal
brotherhood, peace, unity, higher consciousness, and harmony...
In the far distant future
- beyond the lifetimes of current humanity - a magnificent flowering
of Aquarian civilization will bloom. It won't be anything like we
can imagine from our place in the grand scheme of the unfoldment of
the Ages.
What can we do to facilitate the highest expression of the coming
era?
Pluto's entry into
Aquarius in 2024 will coincide with society re-organization and the
application of new technologies - tinged by dystopian Piscean
energies.
Self-knowledge is the key to surviving this transition period.
"It's time for us to
figure out what it means to be human and how to live together on
this planet without fighting over everything," urges Jessica
Davidson.
"Aquarius is
future-oriented and wants to make society, and the future, a
better place.
But before you can do that, you have to understand
who you are and why you're here."
Writer and astrologer
Ray Grasse, in his book Signs of the Times, says that,
"enhancing the higher
potentials of the Aquarian Age will involve, among other things,
developing one's own higher mind and critical faculties,
allowing one to remain free from the hypnotizing qualities of
society's mental 'grid' - the socio-cultural matrix of our
collective beliefs."
"Can you stand apart from the crowd and think for yourself?"
asks Grasse.
Way of the Heart
The Soul
is the means that vivifies human life.
It descends from
the invisible Spiritual Reality
to push the
individual to act according to the plans of Life.
The individual
who knows how to awaken his Soul,
walking the Path
of the Heart (Love),
becomes a helper
of humanity.
Bernardino del Boca
artist &
Aquarian Age pioneer
Beyond the clichés, superficial renditions and preaching on how to
embark on the spiritual journey, there is a simple truth.
It can only be approached
and reached from a position of equanimity, fortitude, and an
internal orientation for Self-Knowledge.
Artwork

Humans in this current era are immersed and glamoured by the
intellect, thinking there is no other way to be.
Aquarius is about mental
energy and stimulation which manifests today in an overbearing
obsession with the thinking function to the exclusion of all else.
In the game of life, we like to think our mind directs the play -
and in most cases it does - but in the maze of Maya (unreality), we
easily deceive ourselves and often deepen the illusion.
Thinking and
naming divides the One Being.
The function of logic
used by a thinker is a subtle trap.
That which is named
becomes a spell enslaving the namer...
Eventually, people in the
Age of Aquarius will have mastered the higher range of intellectual
functions to integrate and use the full range of 'information' from
different levels of Being.
We approach the Way of the Heart, as it is called in various
spiritual traditions, by posing a question with 'heart'.
Contemplating the
question is not an intellectual activity but a process of engaging
and submitting one's whole being freely in relationship to the
object of inquiry.
The 'spiritual heart' rests beyond mere emotion and sentimentality -
it is an 'organ' for spiritual perception. It has been said that the
human, fully alive, is one who is able to rest in the heart,
integrating the finite with the Infinite.
Awakening individuals, acting from this place of centeredness, can
'make a difference' and play a positive role in this world of
transition and suffering.
They can point to the
light and the new world to come, inspiring younger generations to
act from pure intention.
"If we create the
body of civilization," the late philosopher Manly Palmer Hall
once remarked, "then the soul body of civilization - which is
the 'New Atlantis' - will move in and vitalize it.
And instead of being
a mechanistic culture defended only by mortal laws, it will be
the manifestation of a loving being receiving light from the
Eternal source of light."
The Great Ages
come and go, but you never need to be dragged under by external
circumstances or restricted by worldly affairs.
As the famed yogi
Paramahansa Yogananda once remarked:
"You do not have to
wait for the end of the world in order to be free.
There is another way:
rise above the age in which you are born."
