They\u00a0are special days, these are.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Days – or rather months – in which we are witnessing a double phenomenon.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those who refuse to use critical thinking are\u00a0being\u00a0increasingly gripped by the “<\/span>single thought<\/span><\/i>” of the official narrative, whilst\u00a0those who, by trying to interpret the signals of the “<\/span>Spirit of\u00a0our\u00a0Time<\/span><\/i>“, begin to develop what\u00a0<\/span>Massimo Scaligero<\/span><\/b>\u00a0called “<\/span>enlightened thinking<\/span><\/i>“,\u00a0and\u00a0begin to take a broader view of events.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t worry, I don’t intend to be controversial or divisive in any way; these are simple observations.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>As I have already pointed out several times, it is not a matter of\u00a0being\u00a0<\/span>no-vax<\/span><\/i>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/span>pro-vax<\/span><\/i>\u00a0but of using critical thinking\u00a0\u201c<\/span>on our own account<\/span><\/i>\u201d\u00a0and not suffering that imposed by global manipulation.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an attempt to understand the meaning of the events we are experiencing from a spiritual point of view, I would like to comment on an inner experience of a dear friend, who sent me these lines:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

I had a strange inspiration…three times during that night…and it was as though my soul was repeating it, so I would not forget what I heard during my sleep. It was as though I was awaken. <\/span><\/p>\n

A Voice said: <\/span><\/p>\n

“The humanity is plunged into a dark, black fog and the only way that it can be dispersed, is by the light of those who are able to generate it”. <\/strong><\/p>\n

This was repeated three times. Then I kind of was taken and I saw the earth, somehow from above, there were cities, I saw the buildings and everywhere it was dark and as though black smoke was covering the buildings, only their tops were seen…then I saw some small light coming from the right side of my viewing point and began pushing the smoke…here all this finished<\/span>“.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

So the\u00a0voice said\u00a0to her:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Mankind is\u00a0plunged in a dark, black fog and the only way to disperse it is through the light of those who are able to generate it’.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And this seems to me a fundamental clue to bear in mind.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Who are ‘those who are able to\u00a0\u2018<\/span>generate the light’<\/span><\/i>?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Obviously,\u00a0those who follow a spiritual path and are able to escape the enchantment of the outer\u00a0<\/span>Matrix<\/span><\/i>\u00a0– or\u00a0<\/span>Maya\u00a0<\/span><\/i>if you prefer – and are therefore able to\u00a0light up\u00a0the darkness of suffering, confusion and pain that\u00a0tower over\u00a0us, by generating an inner light of knowledge and action.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bianca Maria Scabelloni, “Mimma” cousin and prosecutor of the work of Massimo Scaligero<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At this point, the words\u00a0came back to my mind\u00a0that were\u00a0repeatedly uttered by\u00a0<\/span>Bianca Maria Scabelloni<\/span><\/b>\u00a0– known to everyone as “<\/span>Mimma<\/span><\/b>” –\u00a0during\u00a0the course of meetings we held with her for a decade after\u00a0<\/span>Massimo Scaligero<\/span><\/b>‘s death and which continued until her\u00a0death in November 1990.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>They were enigmatic words whose meaning I was unable to grasp at the time.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>I\u00a0quote\u00a0here some of those reflections:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

This present incarnation is\u00a0something\u00a0unique in the history of time<\/span><\/b>, just as the transition between the fourth and fifth epochs of evolution was, in the course of time, a unique occasion, because it corresponded to the physical birth of the\u00a0Christ,\u00a0which\u00a0for us means the spiritual birth of the Christ in the human soul. When we say the birth of the Christ in the human soul, we are saying the birth of the conscious soul, a consciousness that is continually\u00a0triggered by the entity of Archangel Michael as we go about our exercises\u00a0in\u00a0inner practice,\u00a0<\/span>at the time in which\u00a0a dilemma concerning our destiny unfolds for<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span>us<\/span><\/b>. (September 1983)\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Today, in\u00a0the age of\u00a0Michael, the future Christian\u00a0initiation has already begun, which concerns us and which must be thought\u00a0<\/span>of in this incarnation, the most important one we have ever\u00a0lived through\u00a0and will\u00a0ever live through<\/span><\/b>. (September 1984)\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

We must\u00a0know, with absolute certainty and\u00a0conviction, that we are citizens of the world, that we have come down to this Earth to\u00a0perform\u00a0a\u00a0<\/span>certain experience that is definitive in this incarnation, because\u0301 this is the central incarnation in our evolutionary journey<\/span><\/b>. It is the most important, but at the same time it also has its own impermanence.\u00a0<\/span>It\u00a0is as if what we do this time is done\u00a0once and for all, as\u00a0well\u00a0as if we were never to be born again, as if we had been warned that this\u00a0was\u00a0the last day of our life.\u00a0 So\u00a0we\u00a0give\u00a0the\u00a0best\u00a0of ourselves.<\/span><\/b>\u00a0We know that we will have repeated earthly lives, but this incarnation, even in its transience, is the limit for what there is to do. So realise that we come from celestial conditions, as we have seen in the\u00a0<\/span>karma<\/span><\/i>\u00a0of the solar community, that we have all already been together,\u00a0and\u00a0that we have\u00a0made a commitment\u00a0for\u00a0a certain purpose on Earth. (July 7, 1987)\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

This is a\u00a0central incarnation<\/span><\/b>, just as pivotal in the history of humanity\u2019s evolution\u00a0as\u00a0was the\u00a0time\u00a0in the fourth epoch of evolution when Christ was born on Earth, imagine that we are in the middle of a line and after that the line will continue. (July 21, 1987)\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

What I could not understand at the time was why this incarnation at the turn of the 21st century should be the most important of our entire Earthly\u00a0adventure.\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>We have had thousands of incarnations over the millennia….\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I can understand\u00a0that about the one\u00a0during\u00a0the turning\u00a0point\u00a0of time but today…what is so special about this era?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But\u00a0<\/span>Mimma\u00a0<\/span><\/b>said:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>“This is the central incarnation in our evolutionary journey”.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, the events of the last year and a half have provided me with the answer.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are in the midst of an epochal transition and we are here because we have been called, or rather, because we have prepared ourselves for a fundamental task.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The meaning of our whole life is this\u00a0time<\/span><\/b>.
\nWe have come down to Earth just for this<\/strong>; to bear witness to the Light, here and now.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The preparation we did before coming down to Earth, the\u00a0<\/span>School of Michael<\/span><\/i>, the agreements we made between us to meet, the fundamental\u00a0meeting\u00a0with the Spiritual Path, everything, everything was\u00a0nothing\u00a0but a preparation for this fundamental trial.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"
Massimo Scaligero, tireless author and lecturer \u2013 in addition to the numberless personal meetings, he gave two lectures a week in Rome \u2013 dedicated his entire existence to everyone seeking a spiritual path in Italy in the 60s-70s, until he died in January 1980.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the words of\u00a0<\/span>Massimo Scaligero:<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The present time is ominous<\/span><\/i><\/b>: this is no rhetorical expression. Whoever knows how things truly are, knows that those few who have any inner responsibility, should no longer waste a minute of time, should no longer postpone for a moment their decision to perform that surmounting whose nature they really know in secret. Such tasks can no longer be postponed. It is necessary to take the calm decision to realise that same strength which it has been possible to evoke at <\/span><\/i>certain decisive moments, when it seemed as if the foundations of life had to fail because of the collapse of all human resistance<\/span><\/i><\/b>.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are on the\u00a0verge\u00a0of events that can be seriously destructive for mankind or presage\u00a0a rebirth<\/span><\/i><\/b>\u00a0in the sign of the Spirit. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

(Massimo Scaligero, “Initiation and Tradition”)<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

But we can also call to mind the words of Rudolf Steiner, pronounced in London on August 24, 1924:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\"\"
Rudolf Steiner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cEvery Anthroposophist should be moved by this knowledge: \u2018I have in me the impulse of anthroposophy.\u00a0\u00a0 I recognise it as the Michael Impulse. I wait and am strengthened in my waiting by true activity in anthroposophy at the present time so that\u00a0<\/span>after the short interval allotted in the 20th century to anthroposophical souls between death and a new birth<\/span><\/b>, I may come again at the end of the century to promote the Movement with much more spiritual power. I am preparing for the New Age leading from the 20th into the 21st century\u2019. . .\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is thus that a true Anthroposophist speaks.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many forces of destruction are at work upon the earth! All culture, all civilised life shall fall into decadence if the Michael Impulse\u2019s spirituality does not take hold of men that they are capable of elevating civilisation, which is hurrying downhill. If there are to be found souls that are truly anthroposophical, willing to bring this spirituality into earthly life, then there will be a movement leading upwards.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If such souls are not found, decadence will continue to spread.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Great War, with all its attendant evils, will be merely the beginning of still worse evils. Human beings today are facing a great crisis.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Either they must see civilisation going down into the abyss, or they must raise it through spirituality and promote it in the sense of the Michael Impulse.<\/span><\/b>\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(Rudolf Steiner, Karmic Relationships: Esoteric Studies, GA 240)<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

Or, to conclude, those of Peter\u00a0Deunov\u00a0(Beinsa\u00a0Douno, the great Bulgarian Master):<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

“You are all facing the end of one era and the beginning of another<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

What you can do today, do not postpone it for tomorrow.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This day now, this is the day that redeems the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You are not late yet, but if you postpone, you will be late. This day now decides your fate. If you use it well, it will determine your future.”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(Beinsa\u00a0Douno,\u00a0 “Pay off your debts”\u00a0June 16, 1935)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems undeniable to me that, as my friend says,\u00a0mankind\u00a0is “<\/span>plunged in a dark, black fog and that the only way to disperse it is through the light of those who are able to generate it<\/span><\/i><\/b>“.<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or is it?\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is as if we, as Knights Templar, after lengthy\u00a0training\u00a0for\u00a0combat, are finally facing the enemy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now we can no longer turn a blind eye. Not only our own, but the evolution of all humanity is at stake.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>And do\u00a0not\u00a0tell me that we do\u00a0not\u00a0know what to do, otherwise\u00a0<\/span>all that we have studied, meditated and exercised will\u00a0have been in vain.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>If not now, when? If not us, then who?\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
