Our world has been greatly affected by the last two years of pandemic and climate change, a sad fact. I hope that the New Year will bring relief from this suffering and a healthier planet.
Today humanity needs more than ever the awareness of that sense of collective responsibility and care for our planet and global health.
Best wishes for the New Year, even if the time is illusory. We are in the middle of Kali Yuga, but from a spiritual point of view, I believe that this is profoundly beneficial, since it sends the consciousnesses in the direction of their own inwardness, where realisation lies. In the words of the Christian teacher Meister Eckhart: "Demons are actually angels who cleanse our souls".
Best wishes for a happy 2022, may the 2 be the One and then the Zero, that is, the blissful emptiness.
