The 12 Powers
The Power of Order
In our Advent Booklet, today, Veronica Walker-Douglas reminds us that order is established through alignment with the structure of the Universe. Ask yourself: Am I holding on to anything that does not promote the best possible outcomes? Remember that you are always where you are meant to be and always divinely guided on your path.
Today, choose clarity over chaos and avoid being distracted by disorganization. Seek to make conscious choices to follow up and follow through. Plan with purpose and focus on completing priorities to live your life decently and in order.
QUOTES
Christianity: “Behold, I am making all things new.” (Rev. 21:5)
Buddhism: “With our thoughts, we make the world.”
Judaism: Repentance (teshuvah) means return and renewal.
ACTIVITY
Trusting the Unfolding – Reflect on something unresolved in your life. Practice trusting the process rather than the outcome.
Closing Reflection
The darkness was not an absence, but a womb.
The light is not an arrival, but a way of seeing.
Do some journaling if you like. Listen to the meditation/song (above) at least once.
On this day, I affirm …
I live in order and abide in love.
Closing Blessing
May the light we have touched guide our steps.
May the wisdom of many paths deepen our compassion.
May we walk forward together—from darkness into light.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE
Personally, I find that it is important to have a focus or an intention behind any endeavour.
Spending time with the intention to care for my mental health and spiritual well-being is always an effort. At the same time it can be fun! Reading short, warm, and enlightening messages and affirmations, doing a short task or listening to a piece of music take only a few minutes a day but it makes a gigantic difference in my life. During these few minutes a day, I peek out of the darkness, the world full of woe, into the Light: into the Peace, Joy, Love and Warmth of the Divine Presence.
I am going to walk this Christmas journey contemplating on the Divine Light and enjoying the sense of Peace, Joy and Love that it comes with.
