As we experienced the change from 1999-2000 we contemplated what would be the outcome? Some said the millennium was to be 2000 and some said 2001. Why is there a controversy over the year? Why is the millennium and 2000 so important? It is important for us to remember what happened as we changed from 1999-2000.

If you look up the word Millennium in the dictionary it says: "Millennium…a 1000th anniversary…the thousand years mentioned in the 20th chapter of the book of Revelation, during which holiness is to prevail and Christ is to reign on earth."

So the millennium has a Christ connotation to it. This millennium is the celebration of 2000 years of Christianity and the 2000th anniversary of Jesus' birth. As we entered the year "2000" we considered this a gateway year of realignment.

On December 7, 1999 there was a New Moon at 16 degrees of Sagittarius. Remember this degree as you read on! It brought with it three planets, Pluto, Chiron and Antares, which were all in a conjunction aspect bringing to the world a healing. From December 7-16, 1999 the energy between Mars and Uranus was aggravating which many of you experienced. That made a last minute rush for testing the Y2K as well as preparations for Christmas and New Years. These planets were at the 15th degree of declination, which is an important place in the heavens where the Great Avatar sends the spiritual light to the Earth.

On December 18, 1999 the Sun conjuncted the Galactic center at 26 degrees of Sagittarius. This happens every year and at that time the Sun receives an extraordinary energy burst from the galactic core. Since 1997 this energy has been intensified. It brings solar changes and movement towards a new solar magnetic field. Between December 17-22, 1999 there was a very positive opening and opportunity to attune to the new vibration.

At that time, every year, we are getting ready for the Winter Solstice. Why is the Winter Solstice so important? It was that time period that was chosen for the celebration of the births of the great spiritual leaders. It is the time of the transfer of light from the darkest moment and the longest night to the changing of the light which becomes brighter each day. It is the time when the Sun is at its lowest point in declination on the Tropic of Capricorn. At this time the Earth is at its highest point in declination that of the Tropic of Cancer. These two placements receive a shaft of light from above. This represents the spiritual light that the spiritual leaders bring us through our spiritual beliefs. December 22, 1999 at 2:44 AM EST was the Winter Solstice when the Sun was at zero Capricorn and the transfer of dark to light happened. The light, also spiritual light, was rekindled as it is every year.

In 1999 we had something special happening at that time. Within ten hours of the Winter Solstice of December 22 at 12:31 PM EST we had a Full Moon in the sign of Cancer which is the natural sign for the Moon. The Moon was at perigee which means that it was extremely close to the Earth, which made it brighter than ever as it reflected the light of the Sun. This light was infused into our sub-conscious mind bringing a new vibration.

In Egypt, in the Kings Chamber, which represents the Sun, and the Queens Chamber, which represents the Moon, the light through the connecting shaft was intensified. This light brought a new frequency as a new earth grid was manifested for the new millennium. I have sat in the Kings Chamber and I can attest to the tremendous energy that one can receive at this place. To be there at that time of the solstices would be fantastic.

During that time period I recommended that you open your third eye of spiritual consciousness and breathe in and ignite the "Inner Light" to your heart chakra.

This was a very important time and there was much more that happened. The two planets Jupiter and Saturn align with themselves every 19-20 years and make a triple conjunction within a 12-month period. This is part of a 200-year cycle. The Full Moon being at the Winter Solstice also happens only once every 19-20 years?

During the summer of 1999 we watched two bright stars Jupiter and Saturn do a dance. They were joined together in a conjunction, which was the first alignment of three. An alignment of two planets means a new beginning and a time to sow your seeds to ripen in the future. Between March and June of 2000 these two planets met two more times. There has to be a triple alignment of Jupiter and Saturn for it to be an important year plus the Full Moon at the Winter Solstice.

Jupiter in mythology is called the King Star. When the King Star Jupiter aligns with Saturn, the Star of Authority, the Jews called this combination the Star of David. When born under this configuration you are automatically born into the lineage of David. The Magi, who were astrologers, saw this triple alignment of Jupiter and Saturn and knew that a king was coming. The prophets said that the alignment of these two stars was a sign from God and meant the arrival of a Messiah.

On March 5, 6 BC such an event occurred. Jupiter and Saturn did their dance in the astrological sign of Pisces, the sign of the Savior. These two planets were the Star of Bethlehem and a baby by the name of Jesus was born.

No matter what religion you are, you have to admit, that for the last 2000 years one of the most important events was the Age of Christianity. This birth of Jesus may have been the single most important event in the last 2000 years as it altered the course of history worldwide.

When Jesus said, that the end of the world was at hand, no one understood what he meant. This was the end of the Arian Age and the beginning of the Piscean Age. He foresaw what the future would bring. Imagine how people felt when they were told that the end was coming. Just imagine the energy that was in existence at that time. They were fearful and could not imagine in their wildest dreams what would happen.

This is how the world was feeling with the changeover of the millennium. It was not a changing of an age, as that will not happen for another 350 years. It was the change and celebration of the 2000 birthday for Jesus and the 2000 years of the Christian era.

Those who were panicking did not understand the real meaning of this millennium. Did you ever stop to think about how fast the world has, and is, progressing with its technology? This world has become very competitive and man is too involved with what the world can materially give to him. He wants more and more and there will be more to come as the computer takes us into the future. I mentioned that 2000 would be a year of evaluation of the material substances and since the New York Stock Exchange is a Taurus Sun sign it would have a major adjustment for those who are involved in it and it has.

We have everything that we can dream for, yet we cannot get along with each other! There is definitely something wrong with this picture! This is exactly what the future is all about. Our value system has to change. We must start now so that in the future there will be a time of brotherhood and peace for all. We need to start projecting love and understanding to all, realizing that we are all equal in the eyes of God.

Many believed that the Messiah would be born again as the triple alignment of Jupiter and Saturn happened. Indeed he was but not in a physical body. This time he was born in the minds and hearts of man. This is what is needed if the human race is going to survive.

Just as Mary grew Christ in the womb, we also have to do just that! How do we do that? We plant the seed in our minds and heart and we take up the study of spirituality. Mind you, I did not say religion. We all need to join together no matter what religion we are.

As the seed grows and develops, give it birth by raising it to the heart chakra and give out the love and understanding that it brings to all you come in contact with. This will truly initiate that which will be seen as true brotherhood. If we do that than when the Age of Aquarius does occur, there will be a unity of the community through love.

God sent Jesus the first time to show us the way. Wasn't it Jesus who kept saying, "Love one Another"? Well 2000 years have passed and we still have not accomplished it. This time, no one person is going to save you. This time you have to do it yourself.

The New Age movement began in 1933 and has been a genuine spiritual task for our time. It has been a task to awaken the impulse towards community in a way equal to human freedom. Just after the beginning of the New Age movement, 60 years ago in 1940-41, we had a triple alignment of Jupiter and Saturn in Taurus. Twenty years later in 1961-62 we had another triple alignment in Capricorn. On February 4th 1962 we had a lineup of seven planets in the sign of Aquarius. This was the time of the flower children calling for peace. Twenty years later in 1980-81 this alignment happened again in the sign of Libra. Twenty years later in 2000 this happened again in the sign of Taurus for a period of March through June. We also had a lineup of seven planets out of ten in Taurus.

The evolution through the astrological signs, as the Sun changes Ages, happens automatically. However, divine evolution has to be taken up by each individual. The new Christ impulse is here in this New Age, but it is here only for those who take it up. For those who ignore it, there is no New Age. There is only the modern day culture that has arisen through materialism of the glamours of the earth, which results in egotism.

This is called the "Second Coming of Christ". The Second Coming of Christ is the spiritual awakening within each individual. That should be your New Years goal and resolution. Do not fear that the world is going to end, as it is not! It has billions of years to go before its evolution is completed.

Yes, there will be difficulty as we go along. Hopefully those who will lead us into the future will have the right answers and the mentality and spiritual understanding that it takes.

There is a new form of biology, which sanctions the relationship between thought and body. It is called Quantum Biology. It is believed that thoughts alter our cells, metabolism and transforms the RNA/DNA.

The different levels of consciousness can be seen to create changes in our physical reality. The most important aspect of this discovery deals with human gene structure. Geneticists have noticed in the past half-decade that humans have been using the third strand in the RNA/DNA to mutate into a more profound being. That is why the children of the past few years and the coming years are born with highly advanced intelligence. They will fit into the pattern when they are needed. Mainly they have been born with connected three strand DNA and have some wondrous abilities.

Since the time of creation our bodies have changed from what we were at the beginning of the Earth to what we are today. Our intelligence has also grown. We have changed from a limited intellectual understanding, to now, the study of angels, UFO's and the origin of life on the earth. Our spiritual curiosity is opening our third eye, which allows many to see the colors of auras. We have been existing in the third dimension and now the fourth dimension is opening up to us.

We are definitely changing into a much more conscious being. The human species is going through a profound shift. Not only have our bodies changed but we have also become more aware of the spiritual side of our nature. Also time is being compressed. Cosmology has been discovering that the physical universe does not always obey the presently known law of physics. You will be hearing more of this when they let the news out.

God, and when I use that word, understand that it can be changed into whatever name that you use for creation or the Absolute. God created the universe in six days and on the seventh he rested. One thinks that this is a quick accomplishment. However, those days and nights were not like the ones we experience today. Each consists of millions of years.

When he rested on the seventh day he turned the universe over to Christ. He turned it over also you and me!

We have achieved the ability to think and to reason, which has brought an increase of self-consciousness. You have no doubt heard about the body, soul and spirit of man. So far we have worked very hard to provide for the body, and some have been working on the soul. That is about as far as the human race has achieved in his evolution - Self-consciousness! However, it does not stop there! There are more levels of consciousness to achieve.

Now, what is required of each of you? What can you do to help the 21st century? First there has to be the acceptance that you came from the Divine and because of that, you are also divine. That knowledge is needed for the energy to flow through you. You will then be lead in the right direction to achieve what is necessary in any situation that you are found in.

Realize that the Force is with you, and any setbacks that are experienced as you stepped into 2000, will be corrected by those in charge. Use your higher consciousness to join with others on this level and project a smooth transition. Remember that we create the energy that we live with.

As each of us celebrated the change over from 1999 to the year 2000 we did not take it as just another year starting, but wanted to reach a higher understanding of what the next 1000 years is to bring. It was truly a great momentum and a change of consciousness for the world and man. Project peace and harmony and envision with excitement the fantastic growth that is ahead of us.

The important Full Moon on the Winter Solstice happens every 19-20 years just like the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. The two combined bring tremendous energy to the Earth to revitalize our spiritual consciousness. With this happening at the time of the so called change of the millennium, it told us that this was indeed a time of retrospection as to what we have been dong on the Earth. It was a time to make new plans to have a better Earth and project the love and understanding that is required for us all to live in peace.

Now how does this December of 2000 differ from last December and what will the year 2001 bring?

Many are still questioning which year is the millennium. Why and when did this confusion begin? This all came about in the 6th century AD when a Monk named Dionysius introduced the Christian Era as a means of counting the years. This was accepted and adopted by the entire world.

Therefore, BC would be before Christ, and AD meant "The year of our Lord". The mistake that Dionysius made was in believing that Jesus was born on Dec. 25th 1 BC. If we go with that than there was only 6 days left for BC. 1 BC was the end of the BC's. There was no zero as it was developed by the Hindus around 400 AD. AD1 was the beginning of the AD's. If you accept this date for Jesus' birth date then six days following Jesus' birthday began the year AD1. Jesus was 1 year old at the end of AD1. One is not considered a year old until it has completed the year.

If we go by that information, then the millennium celebration is Dec. 25th 2000-Jan 6, 2001, right now! The celebration was to begin on Dec. 24, 2000 and go through the 13 Holy Nights, taking us to Jan 6, 2001. This would then be the 2000th birthday of Christ and Christianity.

Pope Paul 2nd had in mind to celebrate the 2000th year of the birth of Jesus all year from Dec. 1999 to Dec. 2000 ending Jan. 6, 2001. His thinking went along with Dionysius. In this way he covered both years realizing or not realizing the true year of the millennium.

As you know there are no mistakes in life…. Every thing happens, as it is suppose to by divine intervention.

We have had a controversy about when Jesus' birth really was for a long time. The time has come for the true birth date to be revealed. As I mentioned above, the Star of Bethlehem was March 5, 6BC. Research done on Jesus' birth tells us that he was actually born on the eve between Saturday and Sunday of the 12th day of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar, which equates with Dec. 6-7 2BC. How can this be if the Star of Bethlehem was 4 years before?

To make a long story short there were actually two men by the name of Jesus that were born. The one of Dec. 6-7, 2BC is the one who was crucified on the cross. This date gives him a Sun in his astrological chart of 16 degrees Sagittarius that had a New Moon fall on it on December 7, 1999. For more information about this date please read a fantastic book written by Robert Powell called, "The Chronicle of the Living Christ". ISBN 0880104074

Astronomers called 2BC a -1 year. Adding 2000 years to this -1 the 2000th anniversary of Jesus' birthday would have been Dec. 6-7, 1999. In other words last year Jesus had completed his 2000th year.

As you know we celebrated long and hard on New Years eve last year.

Now here is the clincher……Accepting Dec 6, 2BC for Jesus' birthday this is what happens.

We have what is called the precession of the equinoxes, which pushes the Sun ahead one-day for every 72 years. Therefore, if you were 72 years old you would celebrate your 72nd birthday on the following day. Looking at it for Jesus we divide 2000 years by 72 and get 28. Considering also that the Julian calendar was also changed to the Gregorian calendar when this new idea of using BC & AD came about, we lost 2 days. 28 days minus 2 pushes the Sun ahead 26 days.

If Jesus' birth date was Dec. 6, 2BC and we push it ahead 26 days, that makes it Jan 1, 2000.

So in a cosmic sense, the Sun returned to the same place and fixed star in the sidereal zodiac, as it was on Jesus' birthday. So by using 2 BC as Christ's birth than exactly on Jan. 1, 2000 without even realizing it, or did we, we did celebrate the 2000th birth date of Jesus and Christianity….just as it stated in the dictionary! The interesting fact here is that his birth date by the precession actually fell on January 1, 2000 the day we all celebrated!

If you use 1 BC for Jesus' birthday, than on Dec. 25th 2000 would be the millennium celebration of his 2000th birth date and that of Christianity. If we do this and push his birthday ahead 26 days it would be 1/20/01. That does not become anything special like 1/1/2000 did. If we use March 5, 6BC for the birth than that also falls by the wayside.

So who is right? Was last New Year the 2000th celebration or is it to be this New Years? It all depends on which day and year you accept being the birth date of Jesus.

Now we all know that Jesus lived 33 1/3 years on the earth. His ministry was only during the last 3 1/3 years of his life.

Christ came to the earth and entered the human body of Jesus at the age of 30 at the time of his baptism. He came from heaven to earth, as it was necessary that there be a human body for us to relate to. At that time our consciousness had not evolved to understand any other dimensions of existence.

This first coming as you know ended in the crucifixion. What Jesus the Christ experienced here on the earth we can all relate to as we live our personal lives and crucifixion. What is important here is that Jesus' ministry was for 3- 1/3 years. As we move ahead what is to be accomplished in the next 3 years?

Christ is now existing in his etheric body in the etheric cosmic plane. He has left his human body behind and has no more use for it.

The Second Coming of Christ is going to be a little different. Instead of him coming to us we are going to him. We have to meet him in the etheric cosmic plane. There is no time set for this, as it all depends on each individual and how fast or slow they grow into consciousness. For some this has already happened and for some it will soon be.

Each of us also has an etheric body. The etheric body is the bridge that connects our physical body to our spiritual body and higher consciousness. That body stores up energy and vitality when we sleep to be used when awake. That body tells us when to wake up in the morning and when to sleep. It is also the body that gives us our dreams, which are messages for our soul to work on.

Why am I telling all of this to you?

Christ died on the cross and appeared to the disciples in his etheric body. Remembering that the disciples were on the spiritual path, we can then understand that they were able to see Christ in this dimension, where those who were not, could not see him.

Since all of life has to do with evolution and since we are evolving to a higher consciousness, we are opening our minds to other planes of consciousness. The Earth is a spiritual boot camp. In order to be ready to visualize on the etheric plane we have a lot of work to do.

During the late 1800's and early 1900's the mystery schools were receiving this information. It is now time for the knowledge of those mystery schools to be revealed. What does the opening of those Mysteries signify?

We have gone through an age of darkness and are now in the age of light. Humanity will gradually develop the ability to see into the etheric world and once again have direct experience of divine beings.

We once had this ability before a veil dropped and closed it off. The veil is now lifted, but this time it will be different in that each individual must build a conscious relationship with the etheric Christ.

It was Rudolf Steiner who first announced this development and the need for human awareness of it. We have been evolving through our search for knowledge, which is now turning into understanding and wisdom on many different levels of consciousness.

So now that 2000 has arrived we are at a point of accelerating our consciousness to the next level. We will be developing our psychic awareness so that we may be able to visualize, and become one with him, in spirit, on the etheric plane. We are crossing the threshold from the knowledge of the physical life to understanding the etheric cosmos.

A new consciousness is awaking. Man is awakening to himself as a being with a destiny, meaning not just a personal destiny but a spiritual destiny in relation to the whole of the Earth and mankind. This means at the same time an awakening to the world of stars. For it is the stars, which carry over destiny from one incarnation to the next. It is within the world of stars that the human being dwells between incarnations. In this sense the transition that is coming about may be characterized as a change from an understanding of human culture to an understanding of cosmic culture. Man is discovering himself as a citizen of the cosmos.

The #1 which lasted through 1999 told us that #1 is a masculine number.

During all of the time from Christ's birth to now we have lived in a patriarchal society where the male figure predominated. God was talked about as "He", Christ was received into a male body, and the disciples and the 3 wise men were men.

How can creation happen without the female energy? It cannot! Then what is the other half of the story????

Number 2 is a feminine number and creation and wisdom comes from the number 2.

Number 2 is the feminine part of God that is rarely talked about unless you are in metaphysics. For the next 2000 years the female part will take precedence and be called the Sophianic Millennium.

Number 2 is also a number of polarity and balance. Man had a problem sharing the throne with woman but it is the woman who has the wisdom and understanding to realize that it takes two energies to create. She does not mind balancing the male and female attributes. You know the old saying…it's the woman behind the man that makes him successful!

How is all of this going to be done?

In your spiritual studies you will now hear the second half of the story, which has been hidden, and is now to be revealed. During the coming 2000 years, as man's consciousness evolves, a higher dimension of spirituality will unfold.

You will begin to hear the word Sophia…. Doesn't that word sound familiar? How about the words theo-sophy and philo-sophy? The name Sophia is the feminine part of God, which is creation and wisdom.

Where does she fit into the picture?

All of this knowledge will suddenly appear and be the topic of discussions. For you - knowledge that you have been studying will now turn into wisdom and understanding.

One of the planets, which is associated with Sophia, is Uranus, which stands for our intuition, cosmic knowledge and understanding. Uranus and Pluto in favorable aspect in the heavens are bringing about that transformation and awareness.

In 1995 Pluto entered the sign of Sagittarius. Pluto works underground in order to transform from the roots up. We have to get to the roots of things in order to start the transformation. It has been working on these concepts for some time. Now Saturn & Uranus will work with Pluto to bring this about.

In 2001 the planet Saturn changes from Taurus to Gemini, an intellectual sign, and joins Uranus and Pluto bringing about the education that is needed. Uranus brings the cosmic knowledge and Saturn puts it into form to be used and understood.

Education, philosophy, spirituality, aviation, travel, the Internet & communication will be the focus of the next 2 ½ years.

The war god Mars, will be called in to activate and energize this challenge. From February to September it will do a retrograde through the sign of Sagittarius joining Pluto to accomplish what it needs to. Remember that Pluto does not take action so it needs Mars to bring about what is needed. Realize here also that if we use the birth date for Jesus as Dec. 6, 2BC that makes him a 15 degree Sagittarian. Isn't it interesting that Mars is going to do its retrograde over that degree! Last year we had a New Moon at 16 Sagittarius, which symbolized a new beginning. What is also fascinating is that Pluto will do its retrograde also over the 15th degree of Sagittarius. This will definitely be the time that many facts about Jesus and his birth and the meaning of Christianity will come to the fore.

At the same time Venus the love planet and also known as Sophia will do a retrograde in Aries from February to June. Venus and Mars are lovers, and when they work in harmony, as they will at that time, they can move mountains. Remember that Venus is feminine and Mars is masculine so here we have the polarity involved, which is the number 2 we talked about.

Sometimes Mars, in its impulsive nature to go to war or work on a project, forgets that you can get more if love and wisdom is behind the action. Venus will remind him that if he comes from the heart he will accomplish what he wants to achieve. She will hang around in her retrograde motion from February to June to make sure that he accomplishes just that!

The three cosmic giants Saturn Uranus and Pluto joined by Mars, Venus and Jupiter are busy setting the scene or writing the script. The spiritual planet Neptune waits back stage for its time to enter. You have to remember that Neptune runs away from any disruptive energy. They will call her out when the time is right for her entrance. The spiritual road is being constructed for her journey into the future.

On Dec. 25, 2000 there will be a solar eclipse in Capricorn, which will start that new beginning. A solar eclipse is when the Sun and the Moon are in the same sign. This eclipse which is of the Sun, the masculine force representing the father, with the Moon, which is feminine force representing the mother, brings the two polarities together.

Mercury the intellectual messenger is also with them. Mercury the messenger of the Gods will now swiftly deliver the message to the world in the same way that the stars told the Magi that a new spiritual birth is beginning.

On December 25, 2000 we have a Solar Eclipse also bringing a new beginning as well as the transiting nodes being in Cancer/Capricorn.

Whether you celebrated the millennium in 2000, or will be celebrating it in 2001, make your New Years resolutions include a spiritual growth for each of you. What you are is God's gift to you.
