The Universal Intelligence of Universal Laws

Wisdom Wheel stones beneath the snow

We are at the very point in time when a 400-year old age is dying and another is struggling to be born - a shifting of culture, science, society, and institutions enormously greater than the world has ever experienced.

Ahead, the possibility of the regeneration of individuality, liberty, community and ethics such as the world has never know, and a harmony with nature, with one another, and with the divine intelligence such as the world has never dreamed.   
                                                                    Dee Ward Hock, Visa founder
Is the world coming to an end? 
Or are we on the cusp of a golden age?
In times of great change, we have to choose whether to cling to what needs to die or turn to assist the birthing Process. Have you made your mind up about this yet?                                                          
And what helps us choose the New Beginning? A sense of urgency about the coming changes, despite the Unknown, coupled with a sense of certainty about what is guiding the Process. 


Today the snow-covered Wisdom Wheel reminds me of how much is obscured from us. No one sees The Big Picture clearly, especially during these Times of Great Change. Some are so poisoned with fear, they 'project' no future at all, while others are blindly naive, unable think critically or align themselves with the universal intelligence directing our Universe. 


Change has been needed for a long time, to right everything from the imbalances in our economics to our global interdependence with Nature, and the environment. 
Look to those guiding Patterns, the unmistakable evidence of universal intelligence whose principles are always at work. 
Decide to align yourself with them this year and you won't have to rely upon fallible human beings and their frightened thinking. 
You might even glimpse Higher Purpose in the present chaos.


The recent snowfall might prevent me momentarily from 'seeing' what I 'know' is there, but even when that wisdom is buried by snow or my doubts, it can be counted upon. For nothing deserves our Faith like the Universe that supports our very lives each and every day.
   
Take the time to plumb the depth of meaning submerged beneath the surface of your busy life, for universal intelligence is a bit like the iceberg the Titanic struck in ocean waters. We can not afford to ignore it in favor of human vanity or ignorance. 
The best way to navigate during trying times is to do what sailors have done for centuries; turn to the infallible Universe and pay attention to it. That's how you can discern your direction from its Directions. 
Join our blog and study group, to explore these themes and the 36 Universal Laws engraved on the stones, now white with Winter's chill. 
Comments & questions concerning Universal Intelligence are most welcome!
    

Draft Schedule for a Year on the Wisdom Wheel

Met with Wisdom Wheel loyalists last week in Glastonbury, CT. 
Our original group began meeting in autumn of 1999...many of these graduates have already taught 3 year courses to others.
We joke about the staying power of our original circle, which has lasted longer than some marriages. 
Various options for the coming 'Year on the Wisdom Wheel' were discussed. Our latest 3 year cycle, studying one Universal Law per month, ends in March. 
This spring we want to try something different & welcome newcomers to join us.

Looking for 99 Subscribers... ;-)

"A new way of life is looming on the horizon for the majority, who are either just waking up to this fact, or struggling hard through the confusion and upheaval, without having any understanding, hanging on to a life style, ideals and beliefs that they refuse to give up for fear of the unknown."

Margo Kirtikar, Flowing With Universal Laws

Happy New Year. Are you struggling with the unknown or hungering for "a new way of life"? Let the Wisdom Wheel help you explore your new way with some rigor and some structure.
We're looking for 99 people to join this blog before we start the official 'tour' of the 36 Universal Laws, and the 365 day experiment in applying them in our daily lives. 
Become our next subscriber and we'll send you a complimentary set of Wisdom Wheel cards. Sign up soon before this offer runs out.

I stood to take this picture at the original Wisdom Wheel, set up over a decade ago, here in the front yard of Touch Stone Center, our modest island retreat sanctuary. You can see this Wheel in person during one of our scheduled Rhode Island programs or purchase one for your own garden or  retreat center. (contact wisdomwheelwoman@gmail.com)


Can you see my Shadow against the ground? The stones seem lonely, although the echoing voices of the many happy groups, who have congregated round this circle of stones over the years, could almost be heard. 
This year, via this blog, I hope to make it possible for many other people to visit the Wisdom Wheel, at least virtually. It's not easy to get here physically; with all the driving and the need to catch a ferry, but you can come here anytime online... 
We will be posting events, and hosting them online and on the island in the months and weeks ahead, but in the meantime you can come here to rest and refresh yourself whenever you want. 


Please share your questions & comments, especially those concerning the Wisdom Wheel and/or your 'way of life' as we gear up on this subscriber drive. The sooner we have a group of 99 people, the sooner we can begin.
