Despite the claim by many (largely American voices) involved in the change of consciousness we are seeing, that America will lead the way, I cannot say that I agree.

The claim is based on the possibility that St Germain, argued to be the architect of the New Age, had a hand in the establishment of the United States constitution. I do not know that it has ever been definitively proven that he was involved at all.

However we have to decide what is meant by ‘leading the way’. Certainly as far as human rights and legality there is no evidence of this, not only under the current incumbent of the White House, but from the very outset, and certainly since the end of the Second World War. Genocide, broken promises and denial have marked its growth. The continued war on the rights and lands of the Indigenous nations whose numbers have been reduced from millions to hundreds of thousands, and seen their land and rights systematically stripped from them. Not to mention the exploitation of alien populations, onshore as well as offshore, as targets for scientific research on the effects of nuclear radiation.

If we are talking solely of the advances in science and technology this might be the case. However much of the advancement has been fuelled by the bleeding of talent from Europe during the era of the ‘brain drain’ in the 1960s and 70s.

As far as the products foisted on the world from America, I am thinking particularly of the products from Meta company, these show a dreadful lack of conscience towards society. But this is only to be expected from a follower of the false claim that Nature is somehow divorced from mankind, a thing to be exploited and suffers from the Fall, the result of a woman’s independence of thought. Skype was developed in Estonia, Nokia, one of the first mobile phones, in Finland.

As we move deeper into the ‘New Age’ or, as I prefer to call it, a new era in humanity’s history – the awakening of the 6^th root race – it is the re-integration of humanity with Nature that is most desperately needed and will manifest. We are not divorced from Nature, but have forgotten – as far as modern society is concerned – how to live as part of Nature.

Once more we see it is Britain, not America, that is leading the way in this resotoration and defence of life forms for the race. Just the EarthShot Prize alone, initiated by Prince William, Prince of Wales, is evidence of Britain’s involvement in healing the dire rift. Not to mention the recovery of endangered species being pioneered in Britain.

It has been the case since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, if not long before then, that Britain has lead the way. While the claim is made by British Parliamentarians that the Houses of Parliament are the oldest government in the world, this claim is disputed by Iceland which has evidence that the local government there was established as early as the 9^th century, before England was even a single territory.

As the first major Protestant Kingdom Britain stands out in the history of religion in Europe. I do not wish to suggest that in all things Britain has lead humanity’s awakening but it certainly has had a major role in pushing progress towards the world we find today.

The abolition of slavery, universal suffrage, public education, and many other advances in human rights as well as technology have all been gifted to the world by Britain. Here it is important to recognise the individual roles of different nations that make up this United Kingdom. Scottish scientists and technologists have brought much to the modern world including, as I understand it, the mobile phone and television. Railways and road surfaces. As well as advances in medicine pioneered by Scottish scientists.

Among the Arts the roles of Welsh actors, of David Hockney and the Beatles comes to mind. The Rolling Stones, the longest and most enduring rock and roll band in the world. It was the place of Britain in the 1960s to lead the world into a more tolerant, loving and conscious world.

America was quick to exploit the new directions British musicians had taken, albeit borrowing from American artists of the 1950s. Pink Floyd, David Bowie, Marc Bolan. All major influences in the musical world. This is not to deny the influence of American artists, Lou Reed, the Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Dr John, or Captain Beefheart. But so often what has come out of America has been marred by the exploitative nature of the society itself. Artificial, not artistic. The Monkeys come to mind.

Such generalisations can of course be questioned. I merely mention those few examples of how there is every argument that it is Britain which is leading the way into the New Age, rather than America. If we open the vision wider to include Europe we find that France, Sweden and Germany have all had powerful influences on the advances, scientific as well as artistic, that we witness in the world today. The world we consider to be modern and most aware, though there is some argument against that last statement.

With the return of humanity to its natural role in the world, as an integrated part of that great commonwealth of families, not only will the world become more peaceful, and human health recover, from the stressful conditions we have created. We will also see the use of modern advances in scientific understanding and technology put to the aid of the world to recover from the dreadful rapacious mentality that has dominated the last several hundred years of human exploitation.

It was in this period that America was founded as an independent nation and under the light of those extractive, colonizing actions that it grew.

In choosing Allies it is necessary to consider several points. The first might be considered their economic stability and relative strength when compared to our own.

But probably the overarching feature of an Ally is that they are reliable. That we can rely on them standing with us when it comes to the crunch. Under the current administration America no longer fills that one essential quality. We are observing a president who considers posturing and postulating more important than actions.

What is interesting is the manner in which the British press deal with his statements compared with the manner they respond to the British Prime minister. Kier Starmer, British PM, has consistently been accused of making U-turns in his policies, as the press mercilessly attempts to weaken his position in government.

No such accusation is aimed – as far as I have managed to observe to this point – at the American president. Yet time and again we find he makes grandiose statements, only to retract them moments before they are about to take effect. Yet no accusation of U-turning is made against him.

He is going to take Greenland by fair means or foul, by purchase or invasion. Only days later to state that he will not use force to take Greenland. If that is not a U-turn I don’t know what else it might be called. A retraction?

In the same series of events he stated he will enforce 10% tariffs on those nations that have sent troops to defend Greenland. Then at the Economic forum held in Davos days later he stated he will not impose sanctions against those nations.

These are not the qualities one wants to see in a nation that has, since 1917, proven itself to be a reliable ally against aggressors, internal or external.

But this is all evident to those who choose to watch world affairs.

Having seen the power of AI to create false images we will need to be vigilant against any statements made by politicians world wide used as excuses for wars and more land grabbing.

Politicians have long been known for bending the truth to suit their ends but today we have a universal medium in the internet which allows people world wide to react to comments seen. Very easy then to spread propaganda. A very unhappy situation.

Following a disgusting protest by the Senegalese coaches the end of the tournament was in chaos.

The Senegalese players were ordered to, and went back to, the changing room. All left the pitch with the exception of Sadio Mane, who knew more, apparently, about correct action than the coaches.

Eventually the team returned from the changing room – again at Mane’s call for them to behave properly – and finally the penalty was about to be taken.

Still there was some argee bargee as the goal keeper came threateningly towards the taker.

Brahim Diaz stood, deep in anguish and profound thought. Again the keeper came to him and eventually went back to his place in goal.

It was the 97th minute, with the score drawn at 0-0

The penalty was taken languidly, and kicked straight to the keeper. 

The commentators were aghast.

What was he doing?

That was the poorest penalty kick possible !

And so on.

They could not see that this was the bravest action that man could have taken. 

After all the aggression and posturing, with the team storming off, the game delayed for many minutes, the contested decision of a disallowed goal at the other end, it was the only way he could rescue some quality out of a hopeless situation and restore honour to the match – the final – the game, and the tournament.

He knew it would press them into extra time. I was surprised that no-one else – among the commentators at least – could see it. They were living in some fairy tale dream where the hosts would take the trophy and here it was; he had dashed their dreams.

I hope his sacrifice is recognised for what it was. An act of heroism above a tortured train of events.

His actions stilled the arguments and forced a return to football. That was Brave and Noble. He should be praised.

We stand in the transition between the root races. The 5th race is dying out fast to be replaced by the 6th race.

The 6th race is exemplified by intellectual pursuits, self-assertion and the recognition of many routes to a single outcome, self fulfilment.

Tolerance and acceptance are the characteristics of this 6th, or third eye, race. This chakra is called the Sun in the Upper Kingdom. It is spoken of today as belonging to the ‘woke’ generation and is exemplified by a superficial understanding of language and political correctness, which supplants the protocol and etiquette of the past. It is accompanied by a tearing apart of the ‘old norms’, sadly leading to a general level of depravity based on the accumulation of wealth and dominance with a disregard to the rights of, or duties towards, others.

It is the heightened expression of the individuation that has occurred under the 5^th root race but without any allegiance to group feeling, nationalism, feminism, communism, christianity, judaism, etc. which is seen as weakness, and a carry over from the 4^th root race. Something to be mocked and ridiculed and generally eschewed. It is obviously and evidently an attitude in degradation and collapse. While it is exploited by the dictators of the world, as seen in the various wars on the planet currently, it is an attitude which cannot last and will disappear, leaving behind a certain understanding that ‘you don’t mess with the big boys’.

In contrast to this the 6th race sees and celebrates variety and respect. Awareness of indigenous people has never been so great, along with the recognition of the value of their knowledge and wisdom of living within the bounds of Nature.

By most first cultures Nature is recognised and revered as mother and her laws are adhered to. Not seen as something to be dominated or opposed, feared or destroyed. This attitude has grown with the 5th race and the Biblical attack on Creation. Nature and Life around us is to be learned from is the common approach among those who live close to Her. Never taking more than one needs, giving to the least among us, and those unable to fend for themselves. First cultures have found various ways to deal with the problems which beset the human condition, particularly procreation and death. Childbirth is frequently seen as the province of women and men are barred from the mystery, many cultures having distinct male and female mysterries which teach not only procreation but also the duties and obligations within the family. Death is usually embraced as a part of life and not as something to be shunned. Some cultures choosing not to use the name of the deceased again as a way to move on from that event. This is in contrast to the rootless modern approach in which anything is seen as the province of all, but without any regard for respect to privacy or the wisdom of keeping somethings out of reach.

Individual traits are recognised within first cultures and accepted for what they are, the expressions of that soul, to be embraced and supported, not to be feared or reviled.

If these generalisations seem inappropriate to some who prefer to adopt a more intellectual approach to the world and its phenomena, it is not to say that in every case this is so. Rather that there are laws which underlie Nature and those Laws are expressive of the Self which moves us all. It has been called the Anima Mundi or World Soul, but rather it is the expression of Consciousness taking an individual stance and view on the world, coloured by the conditions of the planet herself. There is no demand for all to adhere to the same rules but rather to extend understanding and empathy to all about them. Whether that is in the form of an antelope hunted and killed for sustenance, its life celebrated in prayer and gratitude as well as in the stripping and eating of the carcass; or the eccentric individual within the camp who shows some behaviour which is not the norm. This allows for the development of individual genius to the benefit of all. It is to be applauded, for all it may grind against the prejudices, assumptions and politics of others.

As nations acknowledge the cultures within them, whether of indigenous groups or immigrant populations who have their own traditions, a greater strength will be develop. The past (5th race) has sought to align society through adhering to certain assumed attitudes. this conformity belongs to the age of Pisces not to Aquarius.

In Britain during the 60s and 70s the comedic team Monty Python’s Flying Circus questioned outmoded attitudes and brought greater awareness, as well as much laughter, to the nation. This self-questioning approach was continued by a group of asian actors in the 1990s, who made the series Goodness Gracious Me, looking at life as a child brought up in Britain by parents from the Indian subcontinent. This team not only questioned the attitudes of immigrant families but also what they found when they got here. ‘Lets have a full English, chips lots of chips and bread rolls as bland as you’ve got’. Reflecting the attitude of some British people demanding the most spicy and exotic foods in Indian restaurants at the weekend with little understanding of quantity or balance. Humour has often been the means to awaken others to possible motives.

We move into a more tolerant age, if we don’t kill ourselves first but can put our intelligence to serve Life and the Planet rather than the individual, person, nation or corporation, regardless of consequences.

With the introduction of a new Manu comes a change in the growth of the human race. Slowly the evolution of humanity will move under the new guidance through the Chakras of the Manu, The Great Man, advancing around every 7000 or 8000 years, sometimes a little longer. Each chakra has distinct characteristics and introduces a new awakening within the race. These are called sub-races or root races in some schools.

The chakras deal with the elements in order. From below, the first chakra governs Earth with the emphasis on separation, food and shelter. The second chakra, the sex chakra or Svadisthana, is governed by Water and that represents coalescence, clinging together, and growing awareness of power over others. The second chakra is a reflection of the Heart chakra and is known as the Sun in the underworld. The third chakra is governed by Fire and Light. Here the focus is on dominance and ‘the great man’ cultures, heroes who stand at the centre of world affairs, however small that world may be.

The Heart Chakra is the central Sun of the system and seat of Deepest Consciousness. It is governed by Air and Feeling. The 4^th root race of the current Manu includes the Dravidian speaking people among others. The understanding is that of service to the whole in the realisation that all our individual needs are met. Along with this understanding goes the recognition that the world is the expression of, and permeated by, the Divine. When one performs a service to another it is not an act of subservience, but a gift to the Divine expression manifested in that other. The greeting ‘Namaskar’ ‘I bow to the Divine within’ is the greeting of this group.

The 5th race is the race of Adam’s apple. The 5th, or throat, chakra. It is exemplified by Vanity, ruled by Venus. 5^th race is exemplified by an exaggerated sense of self importance. It includes the Aryan and the Jewish nations.

It separates God  from Creation, emphasises Male dominance with an absence or suppression of the Divine feminine, and has led to gross materialism. It relegates the Sacred to something distant and bound by ritual, no longer a living presence in our lives. Rather the spiritual understanding is an intellectual one. It has all the characteristics of mental activity based on self-centredness. It is exploitative and argumentative. It is evident in the commercial world as well as in the world of politics and religion. Now the notion of service to others is lost beneath the approach – what can I get out of this. In place of service comes subservience and toadying and loss of a sense of noblesse oblige. In place of abundance comes the notion of exchange and barter. No longer service to the other but to the self attendant upon which goes the loss of goodwill and an increasing sense of poverty.

Exclusivity is its major feature. Older cultures do not suffer from this and extend their concern to the least of the others as well as to family and community. Community has a real meaning in this understanding, This quality is inherited from the Solar aspect of the Heart Chakra.

The outcome of the 5^th root race has been Materialism and the exploitation of anything and everything for personal gain. Characterised by Colonialism, Imperialism and ‘scientific’ Empiricism. 5th race has a single source, answer, or possibility. Along with this we see the degeneration of philosophy from living wisdom to word games with little to commend them. We see it manifesting in those with imperialist designs in the world today, as the race dies out, and those struggles for land grabbing which are the faltering attempts of the race to move on. The claim made that ‘this is the way of the world’, is only ‘the way of the world’ under the dominion of the 5^th race mentality. I Am is the great claim of the 5th race, losing sight of the Divine which gives rise to All.

To be continued…

The 1960s were overlighted by the spirit of St Francis.

Songs sang of San Francisco and wearing flowers in our hair, heralding love and the flower power movement. The followers of St Francis are known by the name the Little Flowers of Saint Francis.

Francis is famous for his connection to nature and particularly the birds.

It was the Byrds recording of Dylan’s song Mr Tambourine Man that launched my awakening in that Decade. The opening notes were like a signal hooking my mind to the song. Helping me to stand straighter and feel the surge of something more than me pouring through my heart.

The Animals sang the House of the Rising Sun – speaking of resurrection and the Awakening of the Spirit.

The Beatles sang to us of love, love, love, love is all you need.

Nature was being celebrated from every aspect we were immersed in the holiness of Life itself. We were told ‘we had to get ourselves back to Garden’.

It was not until today, when I was nudged by no less a figure than the Prince of Darkness himself, that I made the connection with Frankie Goes to Hollywood. 

I reflected on the movement from music to cinema.

The band was formed in 1980 and sang ‘The Power of Love’.

Following which intergalactic cultures were brought to the silver screen in films like ‘Close Encounters of the 3rd kind’, Galactic civilisation as seen from Earth, and ‘Star Wars’, acknowledging the widespread cultures and civilisations that fill the Galaxy we call home.

This was followed by the Lord of the Rings unfolding the inner kingdoms of Earth bringing Dwarves and Elves into everyone’s life. As well as the deformed figures persuaded into evil.

We are truly blessed by the Figure of St Francis who is, according to some at least, the Great Man, known as the Manu in Hindu theology.

All must climb.

The paths are many. Some circuitous. Some direct. 

Yet all must climb.

Whether in life or beyond death.

Many creeds demand singularity of Faith. Mine does not. It demands sincerity of belief reflected in actions.

Calling the mountain by one name or another does not make it a different mountain. It speaks of the personal journey that brought us to the foot of the Mountain. As we wander the paths at the foot of the Mountain we meet others, some follow our way some paces, others merely cross our paths and are gone.

We are wrong to declare our way is THE way. It can never be that. It is only one way to approach the Mountain. Our Way. Unique to Ourselves. Even the symbols we encounter are not in a distinct and single order. We encounter them as is appropriate to our journey. They are recognisable to us, because we have made the journey before. As we rectify our alignment, so we grow, and as we grow, so we embrace more of the All That Is.

Those who seek to separate, distinguish themselves from others, deny the wholeness of their own belief system. Claiming God to be their own they forget that God Is All, and therefore belongs to all, is accessible to all. By dividing they destroy the Unity which is the Totality. Atomic bombs, Holy Places, as if these were Creations and not productions of the mind of humans. Even the denial of formless intelligences governing the Earth is denied by many. Yet it is by Their Grace that we even live. Embrace and behold Wholeness. Lay aside vindication and excuse.

By increasing injustice in the world you will never establish a Just world.
