===='''''[[Cycles]]''''', '''''[[Growth]]'''''====

As you gather during these times of spiritual searching [[desiring]] improvement and [[growth]], it is good to see you reaching for the [[sky]], so to speak, but, as you realize, you are bounded in [[physical]] [[reality]]. It would behoove you to apply these physical [[manifestations]] to your spiritual realm. They are all around you, especially as the [[seasons]] change: The blue skies, the [[clouds]], the [[wind]], the [[harvest]], the green and the brown, the cleanup of things that are finished, putting them aside not because they are no longer useful but because they have another [[cycle]], the cycle of [[becoming]] something else. Relish the [[colors]], the smells, the movement, the changing of the [[light]]; all these things can be applied very easily to your [[spiritual]] natures. All of you have your hands in the [[dirt]] now and then, so you know whereof I speak. These [[material]] [[manifestations]] are gifts to you if you contemplate them as you work with them. As you realize by the [[cycle]] of the seasons, all things [[change]], all things grow. All things have their season from the first poke of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocus crocus] under the snow to the harvesting of the last [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zucchini zucchini], or squash, or potato only to begin again the following [[spring]], to repeat the cycle.

Your times of [[light]] are wonderful indeed and are to be enjoyed. Your times of [[inspiration]], your times of spiritual [[joy]] are certainly easy and delightful times to be in, but not to lose [[heart]] when times are rather [[dark]], [[confused]], and you feel like you may not be accomplishing much. Those are all human [[thoughts]] and human [[emotions]] which are valuable because they lead you to a time when things again will be clear, will be enjoyable, will be delightfully uplifting. Your [[spiritual nature]], your spiritual standing never goes backward if you keep your eye on the prize, when you [[understand]] that these passing moments of confusion and doubt will turn soon into flowering [[growth]] and improvement.

===='''''[[Ideology]]'''''====

Ginny: Yes, thank you. This is not a totally [[spiritual]] question so maybe I shouldn't ask, but I have been reading about the "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group bilderbergers]" in our [[government]]. Is that anything that is going to effect our world either governmentally or spiritually?

Evanson: I am not aware of this [[terminology]] you speak of. Bilderbergers? I assume it has nothing to do with high protein hamburgers!

Ginny: Hardly.

Ginny: Hardly.

Evanson: The [[Midwayers]] hinted that there is a great [[ideological]] [[struggle]] on this world, and that struggle is not with one governmental power and another as was witnessed so strongly in your era titled [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War "The Cold War"]. It is rather with [[selfishness]] with superiority sensibility coupled with the wrong [[intention]] to implant one's [[values]] aggressively into another [[culture]]. That applies to opposite parties, polar governmental [[configurations]], and trickles down to [[individual]] and [[personal]] [[relationships]].

There are bodies of [[beings]] on this world, [[human being]]s, who assert that they have the "right" [[perspective]] on how the world ought to be run. It is driven most often from a narrow viewpoint, one of personal or small group interest and not taking into account the benefit of the largest, greatest amount of people. These pockets, these power bases, do not know when to relinquish their [[control]], to turn over to more qualified [[leaders]], as the celestial ministers know to do when their time has run its [[course]]. It may have been important at one time to stand for some [[values]], to fight against [[oppression]], but that very stance becomes oppressive itself when one fails to see that the time has arrived for a shift into a new [[paradigm]] to install matters of functioning that will promote higher values without [[oppression]], without eliminating all from belonging rightfully to those higher [[standards]] of life.
