Amidst all this stress and strain of these changing times, one still has access to Joy… perhaps it’s a greater challenge, but it does exist, it is present….
None in this room has been present in war, but most of you have ancestors or relatives who have passed through that… If you know anyone, if you can find anyone, you might ask them ‘what’s important in life’, you may seek out to find the elders in this society and ask them and see what they say….
The only way to deal with the so-called crisis is to simplify: your lives, your surroundings, your thoughts, your desires and especially your expectations...
Always consider what you need as opposed to what you might want or you might lose or what you might not be able to find… it’s exciting times, but very stressful nevertheless…
What’s your biggest stress at this moment?
– (M.) Everything, but if I had to focus on something, that would be work…
– And this is also something that supplies you with energy that you need to survive…
you know that your work environment is changing, you know there’s a threat the company might even close, you know it’s important to be present at the moment, to be grateful you have work… and this is an affirmation you could make every time you have an irritating experience on the job, about the job… you might admit: I’m blessed that I have work…
at the same time, you make yourself energetically available for other opportunities… by affirming that you’re grateful that you have work, you open an even bigger channel to have work than you can imagine…
That’s for everyone, for every job that you find – even if it is when washing your own dishes: I’m grateful to have work, to have dishes to wash, to have running water, soap…
ask those people who went to war what was important…
It’s not easy to change the course of history, is it?
Any historian would tell you History repeats itself…
do you have any suspicions in the room? What’s the suspicion?
– (N.) Are you referring, specifically, to Greece?
– What is Greece? What point on the map historically?
What other historical incident, world incident, has been threatening to appear? The Fall of the Roman Empire? What is the ‘Roman Empire’?
– (N.) The USA.
– Of course… you know that what’s happening in Greece is not something isolated… Greece is not some small village in Africa, is it? It’s part of the EU…
– (N.) I have the suspicion that the EU will fall and then comes the fall of the USA…
– Back to M.; you have a positive energy, you can bring it in any activity you can do… it’s about what you’re focusing on… you can walk on the streets and look at the garbage or you can look at the flowers that are coming through the cracks in the sidewalk…
{Feng Shui has many techniques to transform the space so you use them; if you’re not living in a simple home, a flat, Feng Shui cannot apply in those places}
– (D.) My biggest stress is that I won’t be able to accomplish my mission in life….
– You’re sharing that suspicion with many of the youth of today, this is where you find that stress: because of your job… to become a better person every moment of life is the mission – for everyone in the classroom…
you can propose to your students what they can do every day to become better that they didn’t do yesterday…
instead of criticizing those who throw garbage outside, go pick it up… forget about the rest… humans have the tendency to criticize each other than being in their own center – this has to do with form and being inside it…
it’s ironic actually: you’re inside yourselves, but you’re looking outside always… and this being encapsulated in form is a limitation to become one with everyone…
Many people throw garbage because they’re not thinking – they’re not necessarily bad people…
You are fulfilling your mission anyway – personally…
– (K.) I’m thinking of moving to Aegina to make a fresh start; should I go with it?
– Yes, it’s a good move; it’s not permanent though because it’s risky, it’s a smaller place, but it will push you to go even more to your own personal centre… contact a Community Centre, not a type of private sector… even if they’re not necessarily familiar with the techniques that you use, you can offer a type of free session in order to enlighten the people about this therapy…
you’re up with the times, you’re not staying behind…
if you move, you might not return to Athens, you might go somewhere else… We support you to go… follow your instincts…
Most people feel insecure with money… money has become the Drug of the Choice and everyone is addicted, everyone believes they can’t live without it… and that’s a belief – whether it’s true or not is a matter of choice…
if you want to continue to believe that, you’re addicted…
– (N.) I choose to believe my own thoughts and fear of the future that I won’t survive, I fear failure… but I understand what You said about being grateful even when I make 20 cents…
– There’s fear of change… you know that you will survive until you die… and you will die, everyone will – not easy to believe, is it?
– (N.) It’s easier to accept death than the fear of failure… my mother’s expectations…
– You said the magic word here: mother…
you know the earth is your mother; S. is not – why don’t you begin to call her S. instead? With the excuse that ‘because times are so tough, I want only to take wisdom from you, mother, so I will call you Sophia’… in this way you allow yourself to cut out what isn’t driven from her wise self – because she likes to talk, you know…
and she has those other wise women around her and they don’t co-operate with each other… so they’re not focusing on the wisdom that they can gather from their relationship…
You must siphon out the wisdom of what your mother says so that you can free yourself… you’re the stallion that’s in front of the wagon and you have to pull the rest; they’re supposed to be following you, not whipping you…
and sometimes S. whips you just to see if she can make you go out of the path; she can’t whip the other stallions, her sisters, so she whips you because there’s an emotional incompletion between the two of you which you’re working out…
It’s true what J. said in the introduction…
We’re asking each of you today to make a sacrifice, something you want to give to the goddess…. what would you give to the goddess if you had the opportunity to go as a Procession to the Temple so that she can protect you?
Have it in your thoughts as you climb the Rock afterwards, each of you…
– (D.) Are You referring to Athena, the goddess of Wisdom?
– That’s what this is all about…
have it in your mind what you would give that you have that is valuable… the goddess is in every woman, in every man…
Previously you always had to sacrifice something that no longer served you; now We’re asking you to consider to sacrifice or to give something that you know is valuable… something you feel is worthy of the goddess – the goddess within you and the goddess outside of you and the goddess that you hope will enter into the prayers of many… not only God-the-Father…
Expect to come up with something; you know that We’re working with the Site, that We work with the earth, don’t you? We use the Site – when you walk, you connect…
So J. offers to give her talent of interpreting dreams – you just call her… this she gives to the goddess in each of you; it doesn’t feel like a sacrifice to her, but she’s giving her time, her energy, her talent, her ability…
You know what’s happening on the Planet; it’s the imbalance in the m and f side… the patriarchal society or passion is crumbling…
marriage is a patriarchal design, you know it – it’s not coming from the f consciousness after all…
so if you find something to give to the goddess, you’re supporting the Rising of the f consciousness of the whole planet…
– (B.) I believe it all has to do with renounce: Thy Will be done…
– You know when you’re moving into the Temple, you’re taking the robes of the goddess and that’s when things become even more challenging as far as living in the world… you know what choices to make… you’re not naive and you’re not indecisive or confused, you’re taking it as it comes without resistance… it’s difficult…
– (N.) I believe that people who’re processing themselves are luckier than people who don’t and when a difficult situation comes around, they’re suddenly helped out…
I’ve seen it in astrology that people who have aspects of self-awareness, seem to pass through much more smoother than people who don’t have them… like they’re luckier, they don’t resist so they don’t create more struggle…
– You know you can’t change anything… until you accept it, it won’t change… you’re resisting it if you don’t accept it… if you accept it, you receive it and then you can do what you want with it… you can transform it…
There’s always help in the universe…
Sometimes it might appear that the universe helps you in a rather rough way if you have a belief that you will be assisted, e.g. if you’re lost and you believe you will find the way, you will find the place you’re looking for even if you’re walking around in circles; it’s just a matter of time…
– (N.) The key would be to accept your situation…
– Certainly… you wouldn’t be in that moment in time and space if you weren’t supposed to be there according to the Divine Design of your existence…
– (B.) It is said that every human honors a certain deity; does it have to do with their own quality? So can I say that I serve wisdom?
– It’s a good idea… why not everyone? Serve the goddess of Wisdom…
– (K.) My biggest stress is certainly about work and everything that happens around me…
– Make sure you go into nature as often as you can in order to process it – whether you’re in a park, on the beach…
let it go out… the earth will absorb whatever is disturbing you… all of you… let her do her job…
– (K.) Starting from tomorrow I’ll have to start looking for a job knowing that half my friends are unemployed or have been fired… and I have to rely on my mom financially again living with her again and she stresses me even more and I have to process her…
– First of all, you’re not the mother of your mother although you feel like you are… take her for a walk having the intention that the earth is also processing her…
When the child is small, particularly if it’s a girl, when she grows up, the relationship shifts… when she’s small, the mother is processing her, right? So when she gets big, the mother expects her daughter to process her then… everyone’s mother here except for B. who doesn’t expect her daughter to process her… why not? Because she’s grown into the matriarch and none of your mothers have yet…
The Earth is the Great Mother…
Whenever you feel you’re responsible to process your mothers, put the earth in your mind – whether you see the earth as a planet or a part, an ocean, a river, a mountain… rather than sucking up from your mothers, start daydreaming…
– (M.) Like many people I know, I’ve started giving money to my parents… when people don’t have to eat, you have to provide…
– Certainly…
Let’s go back to K.: when you look for work, don’t overlook Europe… look for an international corporation… you are free…
We’ve already discussed with you tourism, always an option for you and perhaps part of the future – maybe not this year, maybe another year… don’t hesitate to leave the country temporarily; don’t allow the sentimental bonds to put handcuffs around your wrists… you can always have distance and maintain the connection; not easy for you but it’s possible…
When there’s fear, you freeze; and everyone is freezing around… the beautiful sun is shining and warming so loosen up a bit, everyone… none of you is destitute; you have something to share…
M., of course, you’re helping your parents; if you can, you will…
– (M.) Of course, I have no second thoughts about that, but this makes me my mother’s mother again…
– (D.) Talking about sharing and giving away and having to go back to school tomorrow, I’m wondering when one realizes that it’s over and it’s the right time to leave things behind and start fresh: a job, a relationship, a place…
– You can feel it… if you start to feel disconnected, you know that a circle has closed… you can always open a new circle… what is all this past life information worth? That you open another circle of life, of relations…
We’re greeting each of you individually and We’re welcoming you to this new year…
Make the best of it…
