KIT 123 - MILLENIUM MESSAGE

Holiday Greetings from Pir Vilayat

Although the threshold leading into the Millenium does not
correspond to a significant astrological conjunction, nor to the
actual birth of Christ, we have created that quantum leap in our
minds: therefore for us it has an important significance if we
will take heed of what it is telling us. Its message: the future
is not there for us to enter into, we create it. The collective
thinking of the Planet is beckoning upon us, warning us to change.

"The whole universe has contributed to the way humanity thinks
today. If the Planet did not have an intelligence, it could not
have intelligent beings on it. The collective working of several
minds and the activity of the whole world in one direction are
governed by the intelligence of the Planet."
PIR-O-MURSHID INAYAT KHAN

When one turns a new page, particularly a new chapter, one needs
to let go of the previous page even though it is still in the
book. However in real life the past itself has changed. From your
car window, the landscape you left behind may still linger in your
mind, but from the overview of a helicopter you can see that it
has changed - a car may cross the road. Interestingly, our memory
is gifted with the faculty of extracting the gist of the
experience of the past. The task for our mind is now to interfuse
the insight gained by the legacy of the past with the prospects of
the future.

"The soul manifests in the world in order that it may experience
the different phases of manifestation, and yet not lose its way,
but regain its original freedom, in addition to the experience and
knowledge it has gained in the world."
(HIK)

Our motto for the Millenium is in the words of EULER: "the pull of
the future is stronger than the push of the past." Since we create
the future, it is our New Year resolutions, actually: our New
Millenium resolutions - our pledges that will open the door to
change.

"True exaltation of the spirit resides in the fact that it has
come to earth and has realized there its spiritual existence."
PIR-O-MURSHID INAYAT KHAN

Our soul-searching concerning the spoliation of our beautiful
planet, crime, vulgarity, point to the challenge before us. To
trigger off change, there is first work to do with ourselves: rise
above resentment. The tour de force is to love people who make it
difficult to love them without capitulating to their domination
and thereby abandoning our values. It is our sense of the sacred
that is the door out of the imbroglio - glorification lifts us
above our selfishness and greed and invests us with spiritual
authority.

A new spirituality is emerging out of the religions of the past
free from dogmas, prescriptions, gurus, the institutionalization
of religions, calling upon us to take responsibility, honor our
values, celebrate the marvel of life and realize the privilege of
participating in the cosmic celebration right in the middle of the
drama of humanity.

"In man is awakened that spirit by which the whole universe was
created."
PIR-O-MURSHID INAYAT KHAN

You may recognize in this vision for the future of spirituality,
the features of the Message brought by Hazrat Inayat Khan - a
message for our time. A pioneer, he foresaw this perspective, in
advance of his time: it is the Universel - the message for the
Millenium of spiritual freedom, honoring the divinity of the human
status, mastery through accomplishment.

It carries a heartening energy: re-enchantment.
