From a small, small seed a big tree grows. In Spring, there is blossom and in Summer, the flowers become fruit. Our own spiritual rebirth is as simple and natural a process. Within us all there is a seed, a residual knowledge of self called Kundalini.

When the breath of divine love gives life to this seed, we find ourselves reborn into the dimension of spirit,we discover the tree of life that exists within us, we feel the divine breath as an all-pervading vibration. Like flowers, we feel our own fragrance. We mature, like fruits, into wholeness.

We have evolved from our origins in primeval matter, to the stage where we can formulate complex theories on the nature of evolution and existence. But, beyond our analysis, do we realise that evolution is still a living process, quietly and continually working towards our eventual fulfillment? Or do we, in our arrogance,see ourselves now at the pinnacle of human development, with providence our hireling, and nothing better to become?

Journey implies arrival. If so, where are we today? Is this the new Jerusalem? How can it be? If it is Gods plan to establish his kingdom on this earth and in our hearts, then it looks as though we still have some way to go. We live in a world of suffering and confusion, slaves to matter and expedience, our moral sense shattered. For centuries, we have struggled for a solution through every external agency; enough to realise perhaps that the answer must lie within, with the transformation of the individual.
