We often find these days stories in the media about
political prisoners and infringement of human rights. Even though we are now
very much in the Aquarian age, issues of brotherhood are arising all the time.
The wonderful ideal of the Declaration of Human Rights in 1776 at the end of
the American War of Independence (and to which Grace Cooke refers in her
opening chapter on Who is White Eagle, in `Memories of Reincarnation`) seems
incredibly hard for nations to actually put into practice. In some ways I feel
the Declaration marked the real beginning of Aquarian energy manifesting in the
world, but, as with all deep change it is a long process with much opportunity
for individual and collective learning and transformation!
An Aquarian age charity which works for individual human rights,
Amnesty International, gives many examples in its magazines. One quote which
stands out for me is from Fred Bauma of the Republic of Congo. He says his
country is one of the world`s richest in natural resources and in natural
beauty. It could be paradise, but instead it is like hell, due to war and
political dicatorship. Freed, after years of imprisonment for speaking out
against the Regime, Fred says: `Losing my freedom showed me how precious it
is.`
Freedom is not just about not being within a physical
prison, of course, and the Aquarian energy is bringing so many opportunities to
free ourselves from old patterns of thought, old boundaries, restrictions and
judgemental ways of living. It is also about the realisation that whatever our
outer circumstances we can live inwardly in the freedom of our body of light
and the realisation that we can all learn to transcend earthly restrictions and
persecution, whether real or perceived, and fly freely into the sunlight of
heaven.
Whenever I read media stories, such as the one about Fred
Bauma and other cases of infringement of human rights, I always think about the
magical power of the Star, and how our prayers can and do help bring about
miracles and speed up the change of consciousness which is happening as
humanity collectively awakens to the new energy of true brotherhood. And
always, we have the wonderful White Eagle teaching to inspire and reminds us:
‘Look
to the light. The light shall overcome all darkness and set you free. Freedom
means peace of soul, happiness, joy abounding, and abundance of all needful
things. Yes, humanity is approaching the time when you will be able to command
for the good of all people the action of the light in matter.’
