There is a big adjustment coming in terms of our Human and Spiritual evolution, where Mythology and Parables will again play a vital role in process. As mentioned in part 1, when our usual systems of information discernment fail us – you – we – I – will turn back to something familiar and old.

Myths are as old as dawn of man. They predate human history because latter is only a recent event. Recorded history began just a few thousand years ago and there are at least 100,000 Earth years with human civilization involved yet to be accounted for. All of them as rich, I believe, as those we can currently look into through our history books. Prior to that, it was Oral Tradition that kept subsequent generations informed. Oddly enough, some of those Oral Traditions are still alive today in certain cultures (Egypt for example) where this missing 100,000 years of human history is available.

So where is this all taking us, this excursion into Myths and Parables? To where we stand right now, at doorstep of this new era, dawn of another epoch, launching point of new Millennium. At present we can only guess at what is coming next, and how fast it is moving toward us. But it is a fact; change is on way. Some would argue that it is already here. Right now! Because Change, transition and transformation are endless cycles. They beat their way to our doorstep and march through our lives. They are as inevitable as seasons. In relation to repeating cycles of change for us humans, we are in one now. The Millennium has already begun.

And what is more important during such turbulent times than Faith? Faith, Spirituality and Self-Confidence are tested during such times. If we’ve only been flirting with advancing new knowledge and subsequent changes making their way toward us, then we’d better get on board quickly because we’re in for ride of our life. One that we could not anticipate before.

When we know what our values are, and our goals and actions are in harmony with our values, we are seldom stressed or in conflict about what we are doing.

2. Complete Past

Sometimes we hang on to voices or perceived injustices from past, long after person or situation is dead and gone. By bringing closure to these events, we are free to move forward.

3. Plan for Future.

It is important to know where we want to go and to have a rough idea of how we plan to get there. While it is important to give up final control to God or Universe, we need a sense of focus and direction to our lives. Planning for future gives us that sense of direction.

4. Live in Present.

This is key. Once we have completed past and planned for future, we need to stay focused in here and now. There is very little that we cannot handle in moment. (A clue: if you are feeling guilt, you are in past. If you are feeling fear, you are in future. The absence of those feelings generally means you are planted firmly in present!) .

5. Understand that if you can dream it, you can achieve it.

If we are -- truly -- not capable of something, then it is practically impossible for us to dream about it. Knowledge of what we are capable of is in each and every cell of our being. So no matter how wild and far-fetched your dream appears, very existence of dream means that you can achieve it if you are willing to commit to it.

6. Allow others to live their own lives.
