The transition to a new year is usually accompanied by boisterous conviviality which quickly spreads, enticing people to indulge in various excesses and indiscretions from which they would otherwise refrain. Others may even see it as an opportunity for some serious mischief-making. Upon reflection however, these practices are no more justified or excused on New Year’s Eve than on any other day of the year. The subsequent disillusionment on the days that follow shows all too clearly that life continues its course and demands our active participation and engagement, quickly deflating any euphoria we may have felt, similar to fireworks, which fizzle out all too quickly. However, this time the transition was alarmingly different.The disastrous disruptions over the course of the year now concluded, which have continued on an even…

Successful human development involves, first absorbing love, next, reciprocally sharing love, and finally, giving love unselfishly away.George Vaillant Joy commands the hardy mainspring Of the universe eterne. Joy, oh joy drives the wheels Which the worlds’ great clock doth turn. Flowers from the buds she coaxes, Suns from the firmament, Spheres she rotates through expanses, Which the seer’s telescope can’t divine. As the suns are flying, happy Through the heaven’s glorious plane, Wander, brothers, your course, Joyful as a hero to victory.Friedrich Schiller – Ode to Joy LOVE is the most powerful force in life. LOVE can guide and protect us ... making sure that we never have to go the way alone, or ever have to despair ... even if suffering or loss, disappointment or pain should want to…

PAUL SCHMITT Already several times in the last two millennia prophets of doom have conjured up the Apocalypse and the end of time, such as especially at the turn of the first millennium. However, this highly critical event of the Last Judgment is still to come to pass. Is it therefore again prophecy of doom and scaremongering to assume there is a drastic change afoot at the present time, or are there concrete indications that we are entering a decisive phase of the entire fate of mankind? Are climate emergency, virus pandemic and much more the unmistakable harbingers of the Apocalypse? When it comes to the Last Judgment, the Apocalypse and thus the prophesied spiritual separation of all mankind, the scoffers and deniers are all the rage nowadays. And since…

PAUL SCHMITT Our everyday life with its array of smaller and larger events often entices us to pay far greater attention to trivial matters at the expense of the really important ones! What is to be considered important in this context, are matters which have incisive and thereby life-shaping effects, as determined by the workings of the self-acting Cosmic Laws. If we fail to pay proper attention to such courses of action and disregard them in our decision-making, then this will cost us dearly in the short or the long run, not to speak of the detrimental effects upon our surroundings caused by our misguided actions! In this connection our predominant preoccupation with what is purely earthly, thus purely materialistic, plays a crucial role; since concrete, down-to-earth concepts and tangible…
