Beloved students, I greet you with great love and a flow of grace as you enter the second quarter of 2017. How delightful to address you once again through this venue! The complications of life on Earth have clearly escalated since I last addressed you in this publication. Without denying the complications of the present or the consequences arising from humanity’s current learning curve, let us reach for an even vaster context for planetary transformation. May we together grasp the bigger picture as we look into the planet’s shifting paradigm. While 2017 has certainly gotten off to an intense beginning, let us approach the coming months with intentional wisdom and creative competency. Please join me in holding a vision of planetary opportunities to see through the illusory veil much of the year, and in so far as you are able, remain open to the grace that is present. May 2017 be the year in which you realize your spiritual liberation!

With all the arising distractions and the divisiveness of highly polarized politics, it is easy to forget that this is the year predicted for the return of Buddha consciousness. Indeed, the planet has invoked a visitation of the perennial wisdom sown here by great spiritual masters as she passes through the gateway of the Aquarian Age. For those of you who prefer or relate more directly to the term “Christ consciousness,” that will work equally well for the process at hand. Some of you have forgotten the importance of this year, and others of you have engaged your precious minds in contemplating this return of enlightened wisdom. Still others of you have taken more of a “wait and see” approach to 2017.

In whatever way you have thus far held the potentialities of this year, it is probably time to think about how you might engage with the incoming flow of grace as well as serve the process and the planet in the coming months. In the midst of obvious and seemingly uncontrollable chaos, how are you welcoming the flow of wisdom consciousness now blessing Earth? Indeed, may this year bring awakening and transformation to all planetary beings.
