THE INNER WISDOM
JULY 2023
In our view, in the current era of humankind, the most important thing right now is to know and understand The God Within. The God Within is the wisdom that you, as a creative being, experience and offer to the world, every day of your lives.
This is a real moment of change – as you already know from all that you experience on the inner and in the outer worlds that you inhabit. And it is this moment of change that marks the real beginning of what Alice Bailey called the incoming 7th Ray.
As the 7th Ray comes more and more into expression, we are moving further away from the era of the 6th Ray. The 6th Ray, signified as ‘Devotion to God’, which has influenced mankind for the last 2000 years is leaving in favour of the 7th Ray: the ‘Wisdom of God’, destined to be a lived experience within each human being.
Devotion in the old order brought religious idealism and the idea of suffering. But after 2000 years the conditioning has led to a tendency to impose one’s own particular ideals on others… and hence the growth of factionalism.
Over-devotion brings ‘fascist’ tendences into the world; a fight for one ideal against another. And as we see, in the era of social media and so much communication, this devotion to an idea or an ideal can become outrageous and dangerous on many levels. It breeds autocrats and dictators; polarisation and hatred. The instant dismissal of the other viewpoint.
The ending of the era of Devotion is causing much hurt and anger, and shrill communication.We ask our readers in incarnation to pull back now from this shrill exposure to so much harm. Realise that you feel much calmer, and happier, and at home in the world, when you return to yourself; to your self-monitoring, to your self-belief, to your self-love.
Feel your withdrawal from the shrillness out in the world right now. And know that, yes, of course, I am my own best shot for a calm, wise, healthy, emotionally wealthy life, full of well-being.
In the same way that human beings find it hard to relinquish old behaviours for new, the end of an era will go out fighting. But this really is an opportunity to discover a new relationship to what it is to be human.
The 7th Ray is coming into deep focus, so feel yourself opening up to the experience of deep focus on your inner wisdom, your inner self-regulation and calm. It is a moment to savour; to live with, and allow to flourish.
This is not so much a time of needing to be nourished, but a time of wanting to flourish, with confidence and pleasure and self-support. Watch as the crazy, shrillness of the old order relinquishes power. And relax.
