Bruce: Sometimes I feel the presence of this "etheric body of Terra" -- something like a layer in the atmosphere, like a mantle of clouds -- that has risen like prayer, to form a protective sheath around this planet.

JoAnn: She is Awakening…..stretching and beginning to blink Her eye open to see the rising dawn break bright across the horizon….gently She begins to Awaken, and here, there, everywhere, her little cells within Her Body begin to take reverent notice of their true nature and destiny within this One Life Who Lives us All……

……. It is a very sacred time, this time when our World Soul becomes Aware of the Consciousness of just Who She Is, and what Her work and destiny Are within this One Universe of Love and Light…….

…….and the prayer deepens…..becomes more fervent…..more clarified in thought and word and deed every day…….the Phoenix rises from the fertile ashes She has created for Her own Divine Germination…….and all her little chicks are feeding on the blessed ambrosia She brings, as She turns to face the Rising Dawn with a clear eye on the Light which always brings New Life, in ever-greater Awareness.

“The globe is a living being with incarnate power, life and consciousness. The Earth breathes. Its heart beats. It is the body of the Spirit of the Earth.” Geoffrey Hodson, ‘The Greater Gods’, quoted by Maria Parisen, compiler of ‘Angels & Mortals, Their Co-Creative Power’, Quest 1991, p. 233

“In the great corporeal world, which appears in different forms, of air, earth, sea and fire, a divine soul does rule, a deity does govern wisely.” Marcus Manilius, ‘Astronomy to Agustus’, quoted by Kurt Seligmann, ‘The History of Magic and the Occult’, Harmony Books 1975, p. 96

“This vast congeries of volitions, interests, and activities, constitutes the instruments and means of the world-spirit for attaining its object; bringing it to consciousness, and realizing it. And this aim is none other than finding itself – coming to itself – and contemplating itself in concrete actuality.” Georg W. F. Hegel (1770-1831), quoted in ‘A Treasury of Philosophy’, vol. 1, edited by Dagobert D. Runes, The Philosophical Library 1955, p. 477

Sometimes I feel the presence of this "etheric body of Terra" -- something like a layer in the atmosphere, like a mantle of clouds -- that has risen like prayer, to form a protective sheath around this planet.

Contained within this sheath, as complex as the clouds -- are all the dreams and myths and prayers and visions that have emerged throughout global civilization -- the hopes for a better world, the archetypical heroes and mythic figures of our highest dreams...

All of that, I sometimes feel -- is out there -- protecting us, nurturing us -- calling to us through our instinct for prayer...

I like this angel -- that Hillary sent to us a year or more ago. This angel -- seems to embody that atmosphere, that softness or nurturing protection, that keeps us safe, heals us, holds our world together as we evolve through our tests and creativity...

This collective energy that is arising around the world -- it takes so many different shapes and specific forms. Yet it is like this atmosphere, this mantle of clouds.

It feels to me -- as though there is guidance in this energy. It is leading us forward. It is emerging in the experience of millions of people, who are under its influence, and responding.

One thing we are doing today -- is recognizing this spirit -- and gathering ourselves together through it. All the heroes of myth are speaking to us through it. The prayers of 1,000 traditions are shaping it. We are called into it....
