Finish What You Started

We now enter the month of Gemini, and as a Gemini, I can tell you that one of the most difficult things to do is focus on one thing for a long period of time.  We’re known for not letting the dust settle beneath our feet.

As with everything, this can be beneficial or damaging.  The choice is ours.

If we harness this unlimited energy, we can achieve more in this month than we can in the other months of the year.  There is a tremendous flow of Light coming down now that gives us the ability to get many projects cooking at once.

For me, I usually have my hand in several pots at one time – from working on new books, to lecturing around the world, to researching upcoming projects.  I’m the poster boy for multi-tasking.

Over the years I’ve noticed my pattern.  I might be working on a book and the thunderbolt of inspiration hits, and I drop what I am doing and move onto the next idea.  Then, while working on this new idea, it happens again.  I follow the inspiration once more and begin anew.  And before you know it, I’ve got six books on the burner..…the downside being I’ve got six unfinished books on my hands. 

To avoid this, I constantly remind myself that the books I’ve got on the stove will fizzle out if I don’t tend to them.  Most of all, the thought of not revealing the Light contained in these books pushes me to go back and finish what I started. 

We must all remember that we are always messengers for others.  The talent and inspiration the Light affords us is meant to be delivered and shared.  When we leave projects sitting half done, we are basically depriving others of their Light!  Scary, huh? But whether we like it or not, this teaches us that we are responsible for more than just ourselves.

One of the great lessons of this month is to finish what you start.  It’s always easy to start things, but the real effort is going back and putting more consciousness into what you’ve left behind.

A Perfect World

Kabbalah explains that before the sin of Adam, the world was in a perfect state – devoid of pain, suffering, or conflict.  After the sin, the world as we know it came into being.  The entire world became engulfed in negativity, with evil desires and actions expressing the opposite of the peace and tranquility that had existed before.

This is not the state in which the Creator wants the world to remain.  It is our job to perfect ourselves and thereby return the world to its condition before the sin.  This understanding is very important for all of us.  People often mistake the spiritual path for a simple reward plan.  They think that if they do a certain number of good deeds, they will be rewarded with a certain amount of good in return. 

But this is not the purpose for which we are in the world.  The Creator’s ultimate plan is that we together bring about a truly global change.  A critical mass of people must positively transform in order to make possible the total transformation of the world as a whole, with no more negativity, pain, or suffering.

Simply put, our world is not a point system but rather a system with a point.  And this ultimate state is what the Creator promises us will happen in Gemini.

This month, let us remember that we cannot become self-centered in our spiritual work and progress.  It is certainly good for us to change ourselves into more spiritual beings who care more, share more, and perform more positive actions. 

But our job does not end there.  We have the responsibility to bring about the critical mass that will enable the world to revert to the peaceful and deathless state of before the sin.  This task entails an entirely different set of thoughts and actions than if our sole purpose were to become better, more spiritual individuals.

I challenge you to think how this understanding can inform and inspire your spiritual work.  Also, be aware that through the unique energy of this month, the Creator gives us the power to bring about such global change, and it is only with the Creator’s assistance that we will be able to truly achieve the final transformation.
