The Path to Enlightenment actually runs from 'here' to about 'here'...The past slowly catches up with those too slow to move. This is a time of reviewing the problems and errors of the previous decade and making adjustment as extensively as one can. Failure to do so will result in chaos, dissolution and a quick exit from one's existence. That goes for cults and spiritual groups as well and the Aetherius Society is no exception.
Merely surviving as an item on a tour itinerary is not a reason to continue any longer. A pathetic existence as something from the past for tourists to gawk at is not realizing one's potential and neither is looking at buildings any kind of path to cosmic consciousness.....

This year's astrological Pluto retrograde cycle should be telling when it comes to missed opportunities to move forwards on the spiritual path. For individuals, it will be hard enough but for organizations charged with teaching the spiritual path, it will be more severe.....
What is happening is that the Universe is moving us from a place of idealism (Sagittarius) to a place of practicality (Capricorn.) Sagittarius is hopeful and optimistic about the future whereas Capricorn sees things as they are. A giant Cosmic reality check is about to begin in all our lives. The Universe is urging us to look at what really is going on not what we would like to be happening..... The most important thing to remember for all of us in 2008 is to work hard (Capricorn) to create a future..... The next few years are critical years for humanity that will define forever our future on Earth. It will be the end of an old era and the beginning of an era of peace for those who are ready. Each of us has the responsibility to make it a wonderful future, each of us has enough power if we will allow it to shine.....
