We live in
interesting times is an
understatement. Almost every month, I notice an old paradigm that does
not work any more or an old established structure that needs an overhaul. But
before the new can crystallize, the old must be shattered to make way for the
new. This can be quite unsettling for those that do not like change and always
yearn for the "way it was". The following is my holistic perspective of the current
situation based on my broad spiritual, astrological and
eclectic world vision. Hopefully, by recognizing what needs to be
changed and "seeing" what the new paradigm might look like, this will ease your
journey.
The ancient Mayans studied an astrological cycle we call the
Precession of the Equinoxes. This is approximately a 26,000 year cycle, in
which Earth transits through each of the 12 signs of the zodiac for
about 2152 years each. Each of these astrological ages, represents one
month of the grand, Cosmic Year (much like our astrological year). Due to the precession of equinoxes, the
spring equinox moves slowly backward through the constellations of the
Zodiac, so that approximately every 2000 years the equinox begins taking
place in an earlier constellation. Thus, the spring equinox has been
occurring in Pisces for the past several thousand years and will now begin
to occur in the constellation Aquarius. This is the
background for calling the current times, the Age of Aquarius.

Work
One went to
school, got a JOB (performed work) and retired after 25 years of
working for the same company. In retirement, one did not want to do any
more WORK but simply enjoyed the life of leisure, living off their
savings from the JOB.
One works at a
job that one loves and it fulfills a passion in their life. One cannot
believe they get paid to do this work. One can work over 40 hours per
week and never get tired or bored.
The
problem with the old paradigm, is that one chose a JOB that their
parents deemed appropriate, their teacher thought was more suited,
society valued higher or that earned the most money (or status). All
these motives are someone else's. One needs to find their own motives or
passion for work and literally follow their heart. When one can do
what you love, the money will follow (according to
Marsha Sinetar's book with the same title).
So many
people are bemoaning the fact that their retirement savings have
literally evaporated during the Recession of 2008. The world has never
seen or dealt with an economic situation of such proportion. The old
paradigm regarding work/retirement must be replaced by a new one, My
Work is My Passion. If one works at what one loves and is following
their passion, they will never have to work one day the rest of their
lives.
The above is an
e-Book in progress. I will add new paradigms as they appear in my life. Check
