It’s been 19 years since the New Moon fell upon New Year’s Day. Additionally, this New Moon is a super moon, being closer to Earth than usual– thus having a greater energetic effect.

The first day of the calendar year usually sees many of us establishing “resolutions” in order to guide our actions throughout the coming year. The word “resolution” has the distinct connotation however of looking over one’s shoulder. In “re-solving” something, we are in effect dragging something from behind forward… in order to fundamentally change it.

Sometimes it is more appropriate to leave much of the past in the past and to look instead to creating something brand new to accommodate a better future. A better word for this is “intention.” Instead of resolutions let us formulate and hold new intentions. Intentions can stand on their own within the infinite creative potential of our true heritage. The misgivings of the past need not bear any grudges for the future.

2013 was a very trying year for many. Just judging from many social media posts on New Year’s eve, so very many people were quite happy to see the backside of this challenging year. A year ago, as we were coming out of the disappointment of a rather uneventful culmination to 2012, I spoke of 2013 as the year of love. Numerologically, 2+0+1+3=6, and 6 is indeed the vibration of love, but as it turns out, for many it was an overriding vibration of tough love.

2014 (2+0+1+4=7) leads us into the vibration of the spirit. Spirit is really just another word for higher love. Last year prepared the ground; this year we reap many of the rewards… unless we’ve completely lost faith in the power of love– something I can’t imagine happening among my readers.

The energy of the New Moon extends a few days beyond the actual moment of its manifestation, so you still have every opportunity to set powerful intentions for not only this lunar month but for the entire year. I encourage everyone to do so.

The holidays typically present many social obligations, and my life is no exemption. For the first time in many months the issuance of the monthly Newsletter will not fall directly upon the incidence of the New Moon. It will indeed be a few more days before the Newsletter is released. As time passes, deadlines lose meaning. Perhaps this notion is best summed up by The Anarchist who has been known to comment on the hilarity of Eternal Essence experiencing time pressure… something to ponder for anyone believing in their own eternal soul.

And finally in anticipation of the Newsletter, here are some excerpts from the upcoming issue:

The New Earth

Edwin’s Note: The Children’s Collective, having assembled at Martin Dexter’s cabin, have established full unity consciousness. They are fully telepathic, and having discourse with one is in effect sharing dialogue with all. Therefore, the individual names of the children within the Collective is largely irrelevant. Only Coventry, Angelica and Krishna retain their individual names when interacting with the adults because their presence at Martin’s predates the arrival of the rest of the children and is maintained as a courtesy to the adults.

The Intention-Fruit Tree

“That’s high-bush cranberry,” insisted Joseph.

“Yes,” agreed the young girl standing in the grove, “for you it most assuredly is just cranberries. For some of those within Daren’s Army however they are intention-fruit. Their psyches yearn for magic… which has now been provided.”

“But it’s deception.”

“True, but all of the adults here operate within distortion, therefore deception becomes necessary to move consciousness. Don’t worry; deceptions are always of a temporary nature– tools of the moment.”

“You say they ‘yearn for magic,’ why?”

“Ever since witnessing Lynn’s recovery from having her brains blown out by Daren, they are under a tremendous pressure to evolve. The pressure comes from within as well as from without. Their consciousness is being homoeopathically compressed by time and circumstance; the response will be either collapse or expansion. We are working toward expansion. They have witnessed ‘magic’ in Lynn’s case… and so magic provides an inroad to their petrified psyches.”

It was unnerving for Joseph to have this conversation with a “little girl” and yet have complete confidence in what she was telling him. The conversation continued.

Living In Metaphor

“I hope that you can appreciate that it’s a bit disconcerting having this conversation with someone as young as you,” stated Joseph flatly.

“Why? Only this body is young; I am not.”

“Yes, of course… but your vocabulary…”

“I am in unity with the Children’s Collective. What is known by one is known by all, including our cumulative lexicon. And even so, words are extremely limiting.”

“I understand–”

“To a degree,” interrupted the little girl, “but if you’ll allow me to indulge and expand your current understanding…”

“Of course,” acceded Joseph with a slight bow.

“By their very nature words are metaphors, always, no exceptions. They stand as symbolic representations for that which is real. They are not the thing in itself. Certainly this is obvious, but nevertheless oft forgotten. Your current state of consciousness is predominantly word-dependent. You think in words; you reside in metaphor. The very concepts you are able to contemplate are directly dependent upon the extent of your vocabulary. Typically, if you don’t have a word for it, you have no means to think about it. Ponder this; it is a profound limitation– of which so very few lost in the metaphor are aware.”

A Discussion of Dimensions

“It’s all about consciousness,” continued the little girl. “Words belong to the third and fourth dimensions. From the fifth and beyond they are acknowledged as hindrances. The only ‘place’ where dimensions exist is within consciousness. There are no dimensions out there.” She gestured to the sky.

“How does consciousness move from one dimension to another?”

“It is an expansion rather than a movement that accommodates the higher dimensions. It is the expansion of choice. The third dimension for example, is nearly bereft of choice. The only choice available in every time-bound moment in the third is the choice to become conscious of being conscious. Consciousness must learn to observe itself in order for choice to expand… allowing for fourth-dimensional consciousness to dawn.”
