An esoteric, alchemical poem received from Mother Mary…
The dove descends in radiant light
Calling your soul back to the height.

To carry you forth until you sing
Of truth and love, peace and bliss,
Invoked in you by sacred kiss.

The Sanskrit word guru has several meanings; the most common is teacher. Gu means darkness and ru is the light.

A Revolution of Consciousness
We must use our collective resources wisely, on every plane, to prepare a new way. To turn the tide from materialism toward spirituality requires a renewal of not only our lifestyle and culture, but a renewal of consciousness itself within each person. Wise people know that global systems are presently functioning in a way that is far too separate from the people they are meant to serve; too focused on material life, greed, and self-interests; and inherently limiting to individual personal expansion and harmonious life on earth, which is now at risk from these dysfunctional systems.
