Each year that ends is a cycle that closes to give permission to another, a new blank one, where we can draw our dreams, our hopes, where everything is possible since everything is about to be built.
As humanity we are going through a very special moment. This is evidenced in the changes that begin to occur at the political, social and individual level through decisions that can change humanity, and the history of Mother Earth.
We are knowing the consequences of acts totally harmful to life. We are seeing and living the limit of chaos in regards to ecology. We are recognizing that on this planet, at this stage of humanity, war should have become a bad memory, and a learning experience.
We are between light and shadow, recognizing that we must begin changes in our lifestyle, in our way of acting, in our way of thinking, in the quality and purity of our feelings.
We are noticing that the changes that are taking place at the law level, at the cultural and spiritual level, reflect that we are allowing this to happen internally. And it is now, we must not go back, we must make conscious what is happening to take care of the process and continue it.
Although it seems very large, even if we weigh and want to avoid feeling it, we are responsible for our life and our actions. We are free individual beings, and with our decisions we are able to change the earth, capable of changing the present and the future.
Let us not give this power to anyone, it is we with our daily actions, with our discernment, with our clarity in thinking and feeling that we can collaborate in the creation of the New Earth. When I get up and take my foot off the bed, when I give my first "good day"; when I make an effort to overcome my anger; when I am not indifferent to the pain of the other; when I look at what I consume in my day to day and look at what I produce; when I see if I have made someone suffer and I look for a way to repair it. When I had responded as usual and I respond differently, there the New Earth is present. Here we are masters of our lives, responsible and aware of our actions. Here the human race shines and ascends to a new way of existing. Here the human race practices true love of life.
But it is everyone's responsibility. Although we want to avoid it, although we want to complain about the power of the day, although we blame the other of our sorrows, although we want to take refuge in doctrines that relieve us of the responsibility we have on ourselves, it is our decision that counts and contributes and tips the balance.
Although we cover our eyes or dodge our eyes, the first responsibility is with our life and evolution, and therefore with our Mother Earth that allows us to live.
Light and darkness meet face to face in front of the mirror of life and ask us how we are going to start this new year.
What is my commitment to my evolution and spiritual growth?
What is our commitment to nature, with trees, with forests that are disappearing?
What is our commitment to animals that are becoming extinct?
What is our commitment to pollution of landfills and all the waste we generate?
What is our commitment to water?
What is our commitment to food and health?
What is our commitment to the education and guidance of our children, of all children?
In this New Age that we are beginning to transit, spirituality must manifest itself on all levels of our existence. If we do so, there will be no need to qualify as spiritual or non-spiritual, since everything will be.
Mother Earth asks us for help, she asks for assistance from us who are we who have hands and feet, brain and spirit.
There are many prophecies that speak of an end to the tragic world, violent and with great ecological disasters. It is possible, but it all depends on where we continue walking. If it is towards indifference, towards waiting for others to realize what I can do on a greater or lesser scale, it is possible.
It is possible if I continue to look at what another person is doing instead of looking at the fact that I am doing the same, but perhaps in other things.
It is possible if I continue to demand from others what I can do.
But it is also very possible to prevent Mother Earth from destroying herself, to prevent Mother Earth from just wanting to shake her spine, as any animal does when another living being bothers and harms it. It is possible to caress the spine of Mother Earth, and tell her with our actions "I am taking care of you".
That is why for this end of the cycle and beginning of a new one, the proposal arises to review what happened and reaffirm where we are going.
Retrospective exercise
Any retrospective exercise allows us to review what I have done, what I have not done, how I have done it, how I could have done it and how I could do it another time.
The retrospective is to make a conscious regression remembering the steps I took in a cycle that ended.
Many philosophies, such as anthroposophy, recommend performing a retrospective at the end of each day at night. That is, at bedtime before going to bed, the exercise is remembering the day that passed so that I can see, observe, make myself aware of the beautiful and not so beautiful of my actions.
Then when we start the new day, we will make it more awake, knowing what our weaknesses are, what are the things that I have left pending, and what are my strengths.
When a cycle ends, just as the day ends at night, it is important to make a retrospective to review everything I have done in the cycle that ends.
The proposal is to review the year that is ending, answering the questions I previously cited, with sincerity, thus finding everything that I have done positive and all that I have lacked to do.
This will give me greater clarity in my way of acting, as well as knowledge of the patterns in which I often fall for lack of self-observation.
There will be no place for the comfort of "I have already done my part", and mainly we can make conscious what we did not see or have ignored.
How we will do to give rise to the New Earth. This is our commitment today.
In this conscious review you will surely find many things to improve, many things in which you will even reproach yourself for not having done “well” or correctly.
You will find yourself in the urgency of wanting to do something either to see you different, or to see the renewed land.
Here is something fundamental to remember: everything you undertake, let it be with joy.
If what we do, no matter how noble, necessary and fair it may seem, we do it from complaint, anger or resentment, we will be producing more of the same. The challenge is to see reality and modify it with a smile on our face. With immense joy in the heart knowing that we are collaborating, that we are one more trying to bring a happy transformation to the planet. Of course starting with me first to produce the change on a larger scale.
And especially if we are focusing well and doing things with the heart, there will be no lack of deep gratitude to Mother Earth for giving us shelter and soil conducive to growth and evolution.
