The Dunkirk Spirit


Recently the UK has been in the grip of what became named `The Beast from the East`, with bitterly cold East wind and arctic blizzards. During this time, a wonderful demonstration of human caring, thoughtfulness and kindness towards total strangers has emerged. It has been called `The Dunkirk spirit` in remembrance of that time in the Second World war when so many boatmen took their little vessels across the channel to save the stranded soldiers. 
Yes, in many ways we seem to live in a very sad and suffering world, with much cruelty in evidence. And yet, actually, within the majority of human beings, I truly believe, there is a wonderful inner radiance of brotherly love and light. It is naturally there, as the Aquarian energy arises in so many hearts and minds, quite irrespective of any religious belief. Our inner work with the Star encourages the awakening of every human heart and mind to the light, and we have had a wonderful example recently of how this is happening.
Our UK news has been full of amazing stories:
*The business man who paid a hotel to take in fifteen homeless people out of the bitter cold.
*The Rochdale volunteer who opened up the local community centre, took tea to stranded motorists on the motorway, (climbing up the steep embankment!) and subsequently provided over two hundred hot meals, and makeshift beds for the night.
*The doctors and nurses who walked miles in the snow to get on duty in their hospitals.
*The farmers (and others) who worked ceaselessly with their four wheel drive vehicles to try to clear roads and take care workers to their elderly housebound patients.
*And even the guy who had lots of bananas in his lorry and walked up and down the lines of stranded cars giving them away.
Human kindness and thoughtfulness, sacrifice and love are there in abundance. Let us keep hope in our hearts, that a new era of growth in kindness truly is dawning.
