Making a Difference
We are getting further into our film selection for the Illuminate Film Festival. Our team looks at some 500 films before we choose just twenty two to be at the five day event. Now we are looking at the last fifty to one hundred and narrowing down our choices. As I work through this process I am excited that so many filmmakers care about our life on Earth. They are making films about a wide variety of causes and issues that affect most of us all the time. There are positive and uplifting movies about saving the environment, saving animals, helping drug addicts, war veterans, homeless folks, unhealthy people, mentally challenged. A wide expanse, covering almost every aspect of mind, body, spirit in our culture.
I reviewed a film today about the 24,000-year equinoctial cycle, measured by the Autumnal Equinox, which is divided into an Ascending Arc and a Descending Arc. Each Arc consists of 12,000 years, and during the Ascending Arc human consciousness gradually advances, while during the Descending Arc human consciousness gradually declines. Within each Arc fall four Yugas, or Ages, called: Kali Yuga/the Iron Age, Dwapara Yuga/the Bronze Age, Treta Yuga/the Silver Age, and Satya Yuga/the Golden Age.
Some years ago, it was common knowledge that the earth was flat. We laugh at how silly that notion seems now, yet at that time it seemed equally silly to think of the earth as round. The world as we know it is quickly approaching a similar paradigm shift: the evolution of human consciousness is not linear as we have long assumed, but is cyclical. The sun is part of a binary star system and our solar system is in orbit around another star. This binary orbit is the real cause of the precession of the equinoxes (the time/date twice each year at which the sun crosses the celestial equator, when day and night are of equal length) and the 24,000-year cycle of this orbit coordinates with the state of human consciousness in measurable units of time: the Yugas.
Luckily, today we are embarking upon the great journey upward! We are about 315 years into the Dwapara Yuga on the Ascending Arc heading toward the Golden Age of Enlightenment. The constellations make it possible to chart the current cycle’s progression. The Autumnal Equinox is now falling in Virgo, and we find ourselves at the beginning of the Dwapara Yuga/Bronze Age.
I know that it seems like we are in the middle of a challenging time. However when seen in the grand scheme of things our incarnations are short. The film festival team that Lou Ann and I are part of are discovering that all hope is not lost. That consciousness is working it’s way through this phase. A few generations down the road and the world will be living in the Golden Age. And what we do right now supports creating it. Remember that we are all vital to one another. At our core no one can be in total joy if one of us is in pain and sorrow. Now is the time to do all we can to make this the best space craft in the Milky Way Galaxy! We incarnated now for a purpose. To lay the groundwork for the coming times of prosperity and love. From my hopeful heart to yours, Thomas
