To Mother Earth
and to all courageous souls
who say yes to their call to
become her Stewards

What can never be stressed too much or meditated on too deeply is that the journey to Origin, the journey to our divine nature, is in its own way just as natural, just as inherently part of the fullness of nature and creation as growing roses in a garden or wheat in a field.

ANDREW HARVEY, THE DIRECT PATH

WHEN I AWOKE ON THE MORNING of my 49th birthday, I greeted it as one of the most auspicious days of my life. Mystical traditions speak of the completion of the seventh septennium as a significant rite of passage into lifes golden years. I would celebrate the achievement, for better or worse, of having gone through the seven main energy centers (chakras) of my body. What this means is that my psyche had had the chance to cultivate all the essential themes of humanity: starting from survival at the root chakra up to spiritual connection at the crown chakra, passing through love at the heart.
