Well, since April ended yesterday, today must be May ... if you choose to live your lives by specific calendars that is ... and looking out the window as dawn appears and a Moon lingers in the sky, with another light frost on the fields to confirm that Spring is still cold and mostly sunny in the year of 2021 ... a number not signifying the beginning of the universe of course, since that is still unknown, but co-opted by adherents of the relatively recent religion called Christianity. .. more ancient ones and more recent ones have their own numbers, but basically accept the compromise of BCE, i.e. Before Common Era instead of BC ... still, numbers, like words, have power, so please be aware!
May Day at sea is a call sign from ships calling for help as they sink of course. On land it's long been a call for workers to fly red banners to warn capitalists of the danger to them if they continue to exploit the common people ... whilst the common people when peasants in rural areas used the day to be merry, take a break from their toil for the feudal masters, dance around the maypole on the village green, drink cider, plant seeds and celebrate Spring, often resulting in harvests rather later than September, but nine months later ... producing an ongoing supply of workers for the wealthy to exploit. .. the cycle of life on Earth!
Meanwhile, on May Day this year, the sap is rising and the oppressed are awakening from their slumber once more ... this time not to create new systems of government which tend to degenerate as new masters assume power to resume the oppression, corruption being a strange habit of the species, not to mention a susceptibility for Fear, which weakens the immune system at every level, individual, groups, nations and worlds ... but what is it we Fear, fundamentally? Perhaps that's the existential question in need of exploration. When we humans look around for other humans to blame, perhaps we might start by looking within our own psyches, hearts and minds, to root out any Fear lurking in dark places as described by Jung, or Joe Campbell (In the Cave You Fear to Enter, Lies the Treasure Which You Seek) and innumerable Ascended Masters throughout history ... therein lies Liberation and Peace of Mind ... just don't try to organise it into a new government or religion ... that's been tried before many times and it simply can't work, since the Universes are not fixed forms but always moving, always moving ... from energy to form and back again ... from Big Bang to Big Crunch and back or forward or whatever word you like ...
Still, it's fun to explore the Nature of Reality, and there's plenty of Time in Eternity or no time at all as some say ... so make haste slowly and enjoy the journey! The destination of the human body is well known ... consciousness however goes on at every level, they say.
Happy May Day! Time for breakfast and a walk in Nature ...
