DEAR FRIENDS,

        CONGRATULATIONS ON REACHING THE END OF ANOTHER YEAR ON PLANET 

EARTH, IN SPITE OF THE TURMOIL THAT HAS REIGNED.  CONSIDER THE NEW YEAR 

AS A NEW START, FRESH BEGINNING FOR YOU AS A GROUP OF BEINGS INHABITING

PLANET EARTH.  THINK OF ALL THE CHANGES YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED DURING 

THESE PAST MONTHS, NOT ONLY FOR YOU INDIVIDUALLY BUT ALSO AS A GROUP OF 

BEINGS.  ALLOW YOUR MIND TO GO BACK OVER THE SERIES OF EVENTS THAT HAVE

BEEN SIGNIFICANT DURING THE PAST YEAR.  THINK OF HOW EACH ONE HAS BEEN 

REVIEWED AND HANDLED, THEN APPLY THIS CONCEPT TO YOUR OWN PERSONAL 

QUEST ON THIS LIFE'S JOURNEY.
 

        REVIEWING YOUR OWN LIFE PLAN...HOW ARE YOU DOING?  ARE YOU 

FOLLOWING THE COURSE CHOSEN PRIOR TO YOUR ENTRY IN THIS DOMAIN, OR DO 

YOU SENSE SOME BACKSLIDING AND UNFULFILLED ENDEAVORS?  MAKE NOTES 

FOR YOURSELF AS TO WHAT STILL NEEDS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED TO BRING FORTH

A GREATER SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT, BOTH SPIRITUALLY AND AS A 

CONTRIBUTOR TO THE WELLBEING OF THE PLANET.  MAKE LISTS OF THE PROS 

AND CONS INVOLVED, AND YOU WILL ESTABLISH A CLEAR PICTURE OF PURPOSE. 

BE HONEST, BE SINCERE, AS YOU WORK TO CLEAR THE DECKS AS IT WERE.  THIS 

IS A FORM OF PERSONAL HOUSEKEEPING, AND ALLOWS EACH BEING TO 

EVALUATE AND CLEAN THE CLOSETS AND ELIMINATE THE DEBRIS.  JUST AS IT IS 

IMPORTANT TO CLEAR BARNACLES OFF A BOAT, SO IS IT NECESSARY TO GIVE 

THE HUMAN FORM A SENSE OF CLEARING AND REPLENISHING, SO THAT IT IS FULL

STEAM AHEAD FOR THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.
 

        THE PERSONAL SATISFACTION YOU WILL EXPERIENCE IS WORTH THE TIME IT 

TAKES TO BRING THROUGH GREATER CLARITY OF THOUGHT.  I KNOW IT IS A BUSY

TIME, MUCH TO DO.  HOWEVER, NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT TO YOU THAN YOUR

PERSONAL GROWTH AS A HUMAN BEING, THEREFORE, TAKE THE TIME 

NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK.  SEE IT AS A PROJECT THAT NEEDS TO 

BE ACCOMPLISHED TO LAUNCH YOU COMFORTABLY INTO THE NEW YEAR. 

KNOWING WHERE YOU ARE GOING, UNDERSTANDING WHERE YOU HAVE BEEN, 

GIVES A SENSE OF BALANCE AND GROWTH THAT WILL BE NECESSARY IN THE 

COMING TIME.
 

        OUR LOVE IS AROUND YOU EVERMORE, AND IN PARTICULAR DURING THIS 

SPECIAL TIME OF THE YEAR YOU WILL FEEL THE STRENGTH AND 

ENCOURAGEMENT BROUGHT FORTH BY TAKING THE TIME TO GO WITHIN, 

MEDITATE AND RECEIVE BLESSINGS FROM BEYOND.

        GOD BE WITH YOU NOW AND EVERMORE.
 

OUR NEXT MESSAGE WILL BE ON JANUARY 1, 2001.

NEXT GLOBAL MEDITATION:   TUESDAY, JANUARY 2, 2001,  8 P.M. YOUR TIME
