Dawning of the Age of Aquarius


Up until last night, I've been wondering if the Age of Aquarius, that we have been hearing about for decades, would ever really kick into gear. I've been watching and waiting for the "harmony and understanding," the spirit of cooperation and communication Aquarius promises to awaken in humanity, and now I see that it has truly arrived. The campaign of President Elect Obama was a grassroots, cooperative venture like nothing ever seen before in American politics. The resulting outpouring of support from around the world gives me hope that America may once again become a world leader in peace, justice, freedom, and equality for all.

I see hope for the manifestation of paradise on Earth. No, I don't believe Obama will create it. It is not Obama that gives me hope. It is the uprising of humanity asserting a choice to make big changes. A very quiet revolution took place in America yesterday - a peaceful, joyful, hopeful sort of revolution. But, as with all revolutions, there will be a lot of work involved in co-creating the new version of reality.

How will we shape our future, now that we have wrested it from the hands of the greedy power-mongers who sought to economically enslave the world? Will we fall back into complacency and let the power-mongers rise again, or will we take this golden opportunity for what it is and run with it?

We now have the momentum to change the dynamic of our crumbling economy so that it is based on cooperation rather than competition, so that it supports rather than degrades the environment, and so that it empowers rather than enslaves the population. Hope shines bright. And I hope we will all continue to envision a world where paradise is more than an idealistic dream.
