PREVIOUS THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY
March 19th to March 25th 2007


MONDAY March 19
Evolution of consciousness

Dear Jonathan,
Do you think there is an evolution of consciousness - as more people begin to become more tuned in to the spiritual realm? Are we moving up and on?
Jessie

Dear Jessie,
I do think that. I also think that this has only just begun. We live in a world where currently, most folk are happy enough to take most things at face value. We are about to enter a time when almost everyone feels the urge to find out more about what life really is 'for'... and where minds - and hearts - are more open than at any time in history.


TUESDAY March 20
Silent celebration

Dear Jonathan,
I live in Bali. Yesterday we celebrated the New Year. It falls on a different date each time, but, whenever it occurs, we all observe a day of silence. People have to stay in their houses with no lights or sound. Even the airport is closed.
Brigid

Dear Brigid,
Happy New Year. This festival 'floats' on the Balinese calendar because, rather like the Chinese New Year, it always begins with a New Moon. I must say I really like the idea of a silent celebration... though I can't imagine it ever catching on over here!


WEDNESDAY March 21
Happy New Year!

People often ask me what's the difference between the equinox that happens in March and the equinox that takes place every September. There are, of course, seasonal variations depending on where you live, but the main distinction is that in March, the days are just as long as the nights... whereas in September, the nights are just as long as the days! Joking apart, the equinoxes coincide with the Sun moving into a new sign of the zodiac. It entered Aries today at 1.07am. A fresh astrological cycle has begun. May I be the first to wish you a Happy New Year.

THURSDAY March 22
A Mayan pilgrimage

By the time you read this, I will be in Mexico. I am not taking a holiday, I am making a kind of astrological pilgrimage - to the ancient Mayan temple of Chichen Itza. Though I am told it is a glorious place at any time of the year, I have come specifically to witness the equinox. Apparently the Mayans had a way of bringing this astrological event to life. They made their temple catch the sunlight on the equinox so that it casts a shadow in the form of a snake that slowly makes its way down the steps of the building. I'll say more once I have actually seen it!

FRIDAY March 23
Equinox at Chichen Itza

At Stonehenge, on the solstice, astrologers expect sunrise to be partially obscured by cloud. But I was in Mexico, where the sunshine never stops. Here the ancient Mayans built a temple designed to come to life for a brief moment – twice a year. Surely there was no chance of missing out? To the amazement, though, of the 5,000 who were at Chichen Itza for the equinox, it began to rain near the crucial moment. Happily, the sun broke through just in time to reveal a stunning serpent made from light and shade descending from heaven to feed the Earth.
