By looking up at the sun, the moon, the planets and the stars, opening our minds to notice and remember subtle changes, we can become aware of the intricate clockwork of the heavens. On any given day, the planets, the sun and the moon form a pattern that changes. All we need to see this pattern is time and a place to observe the sky. Observations take place at the same time each day as the daily and annual stellar motions and planetary cycles.

Humanity was created for a purpose, it knew what that purpose was before it took human form, it forgot what that purpose was when it was born, it can begin to remember when it takes the appropriate

‘reminders’,and continues to exist after physical death in a state that has been altered by the earthly phase.

This “sleep” and this “forgetting” is overcome here and now during our planetary existence.

The ideas of immortality from ‘Recollections of early childhood” will be of a lesser kind, they will lack the quality of being that can only be acquired through the work of development, the conscious and aware spiritual evolution for which this terrestrial phase is both the opportunity and the medium. If this does not happen, life after death will be little better than life before death.

For “where your heart is, there is your heaven”. To be honest, we do not remember ourselves.’ we do not feel, we are not aware of ourselves. But moments of self-remembering do occur in life, albeit rarely. They come either in a new and unexpected environment, in a new place, among new people, for example, when traveling, when suddenly you look around and say, “How strange I am and in this place”; or in very emotional moments, in moments of danger, in moments when it is necessary to keep one’s head when one hears one’s own voice and sees and observes oneself from the outside.
