This celebration is of special significance for humanity. This year the three world religions, and the three ways to participate in the divine, will be transformed decisively.

For the Christian it is realization of the fact that God is not the avenger. God will instead be recognized as the love in which everybody can participate.

For the Mahayana Buddhist it is the final revelation that the purpose of each being is to find their Buddha nature, their illumination, and to take care that their way is free of obstacles for others.

For Islam it is the recognition that the white light of the revelation of the Prophet will enable everybody to follow their own inspiration as the way. The difference between accepting tradition and realization of self will vanish for the one who searches.

For all three it means the end of fundamentalism - the belief system of an all saving truth which excludes others. Instead of the three ways of love, illumination, and human brotherhood of understanding inspirations, there now comes the one way of participation in the fullness of the "Being in the Universe". Starting from now everything which exists is related to God. There is no manifestation which will not point to this aim.

The "magical pearl" in the heart of each person will obliterate the small image of ego that causes sadness. Motives and intentions, Self and I, will become the carrier of a community in peace which includes all beings.

The development of natural science has shown that music is the common denominator for all striving. Its basis is the tuning of the mind visualized in the Wheel. Thus the Socratic method of maieutics, the search for wisdom, comes to a new step which will overcome all opposition.

Numbers and tones have been the basic tools of creativity from the Big Bang up to the present. So each person at the celebration (or ritual, meditation) should begin by picking a number between zero and nine as their access to the magic pearl. Even before that, at the fire, let all preoccupations and negative premises vanish. The catastrophic imaginations of the last year have revealed themselves in personal misfortunes. Now it is necessary to give all negatives to the fire and to choose a positive way. The solar eclipse last August, and the lunar eclipse this year have taken away the veil of reality in its fullness. The great communion comes out of the free union of all who transform their social task by their spiritual way.

After burning away all suffering and past negative emotions each person stands up for their number. Then carrying their number each goes to the stone circle. In the invocation (of the 10 Powers) listen using your chakras to the answers of the Powers of the other side. With this you attain hope as the pacing of your way which you will never lose again. Each person carries their number attached to their shirt. Then in dance look for partner(s) whose number with yours allows the fullness of 10. Then try to understand your unity, individuality, etc., in the vision of the drums through dancing so that all lack-of-courage will vanish.

In this year the creative principles of number and of the Wheel will also enable all love, communion of reason, and community of all individuals who have transformed their vocation in a spiritual way. This demands a deepening of the maieutics programs which were started in 1984. A compendium of techniques will vitalize "analysis as creative memory" into a great cosmic dance.

Be aware that this ritual is historically the great union of neighborliness. The solidarity trip will replace striving for profit. This will be the point of gravity attainable by all whose search for meaning in life is useful to others. This ritual is only for the historical time of the end of the end of all catastrophes.

The new free world will manifest itself out of turning to the same beings, and finding again the great community. The whole of nature is and always has been related to the consonance with the divine. Starting today you are a carrier of this revelation of the Being in the Universe. God reveals him/herself in the fullness of pleroma where all beings will not only obtain their power and light, but are also able to help everybody who asks.

Each person in the New Age follows the way of wisdom. Wisdom means life in the form of knowledge. It is attainable. Before the celebration/ritual try to discover where your knowledge has become capacity. Then look for a geometrical symbol of the number you have chosen. This will symbolize this making/doing knowledge in relation to your existence, and will express itself in real community and friendship.

Don't think back of past negative feelings and sufferings, but catch only the chain of pearls of your successes. Each time your doing was transcended by love you added a pearl to the ones which God had given you.
