Withdraw Your Energy from the Chaos

The 'news'—especially TV news—is literally, programming. No matter the slant, liberal or conservative, its purpose is to keep one in a state of discontent. By engagement in this chaotic energy, one becomes part of the static produced to obfuscate our Oneness.

The best way to effect change in oneself and in the world is to withdraw one’s energy from the common, programmed pool, and be a beacon of Peace/Light/Love. The more of us who are cells of sanity in the body of humanity, the greater the Light—and the cancer of the Illusion/madness will be diminished and eradicated.

Whatever one needs to know comes to one’s attention. Rather than participating in and supporting the media-generated chaos, maintain Awareness; enjoy and support a Higher Reality.

Try giving yourself a 'news' break for a week and see what happens when you re-engage. If you’ve been focused and mindful, the dissonance will be obvious.

"Be the change you want to see in the world" by mastering the quality of your energy. It's a moment-by-moment exercise.

Civilization?

What kind of civilization allows and encourages a handful of its members to accumulate untold wealth and live a life of obscene excess while billions are lacking the most basic necessities? What kind of person can observe suffering in another and not do something about it? Only the most unevolved.

The arrogance of humans on planet Earth is stunning.

The aboriginals we look down upon are far more advanced in terms of understanding their place in the biosphere and Universe—while the vast majority are essentially yahoos: mere primitives in Consciousness, yet believing ourselves the 'Crown of Creation.'

For while this human ‘civilization’ has plundered the Earth and accumulated wealth, advancing technology to astonishing levels, most are still driven by the basest of impulses—lust, greed, anger, pride and fear: killing one another over resources, waging wars based on ideology, elevating vanity to a virtue, while oblivious to the machinations of those in power whose smoke and mirrors keep us entranced and in their control—ostensibly free but actually slaves to our senses, spending our days as cogs in the machines of commerce, working endlessly for the sole purpose of acquiring ‘stuff’ or attaining ‘success.’

At the same time, there are a handful who have reached an enlightened state—an Understanding that removes them from the Illusion and allows them to dwell untouched by the miasma of desire—and a growing number who are being awakened to this Understanding.

Where are you in this process? Are you still striving for the ‘American Dream’ or are you one of the fortunate who recognize there is something greater? Have you gotten caught in the Intellect, priding yourself on your capacity for complex thought? Or have you joined the masses enrolled in endless pursuit of ‘improvement’—not realizing that commerce in the name of spirituality is commerce still, merely substituting one illusion for another more self-righteous one, enriching the self-styled gurus while the followers chase their tails in fruitless pursuit of relief while still believing in ‘the good life?’

As long as one exists in the realm of ‘mind’ one is subject to the duality of its nature—one cannot go beyond the mind with the mind. One cannot think one’s way to the next level of being.

Fortunately, there is a transformative energy emerging on the planet: an expansion of Consciousness called the Evolution Revolution. The Evolution Revolution is calling us to open our Hearts & Minds and allow ourselves to be awakened to a Greater Reality—a reality where Compassion is the coin of trade, and Harmony the measure of success. A reality that recognizes that harm to any is harm to Self, and all Life is sacred.

The Evolution Revolution is progressing apace—embrace it and evolve into your True Self.

Love Your Neighbor

The Potlatch Song
(Rap to a slow groove)
©2003 saharadevi


When I'm walkin' in the heat
and a cloud rolls by
I say "thank you"
I say "thank you"

And if I want something to eat
and there's money in my pocket
I say "thank you"
I say "thank you"

This world is like a movie
and we're each assigned a role
sometimes we're Cinderella
sometimes we're Old King Cole

We need to realize
that it's a roll of the dice
sometimes we get Beluga
sometimes it's beans and rice

But what we do with what we've got
is what reveals our nature—
are we kind and generous
or nasty and voracious?

To be livin' the good life
is not eating 'til you puke
stop yappin' on that cell phone
can't you see that you've been duped?

The American Dream
has turned into a nightmare—
humanity is in a trance
and no one is aware

*****

When I'm out on the street
and there's someone there who cares
I say "thank you"
I say "thank you"

And when I need a place to sleep
and I have a bed to lie on
I say "thank you"
I say "thank you"

This world is like a movie
and we're each assigned a part
sometimes we get the horse
sometimes we get the cart

We have to understand
that there's something far greater
than crystal chandeliers
and shoes of alligator

What we do with what we have
will show us who we are
will we educate a child
or buy another car?

To be livin' the good life
is not eating 'til you puke
Mother Nature's in revolt
and we're being rebuked

The American Dream
has turned into a nightmare
we're like rats on a treadmill:
moving quickly—going nowhere

We've been brainwashed to believe
too much is not enough
we're consumed by our consumption
we are drowning in our 'stuff'

So open up your eyes
and open up your Heart
let the Love flow to your brother
it's time we made a start

We're the children of One Mother
Love your neighbor as your Self
what we give to each other
is our only true Wealth

ONE, A Bouquet of Wisdom

The quotations in this collection are unattributed for a very specific reason: So that Wisdom, which comes from One Source, may be appreciated without bias.

In this way we can be free to accept that which touches our mind or heart without concerning ourselves about whether the speaker belongs to our particular denomination, has achieved fame, celebrity or infamy, or is in fact a humble, unknown shopkeeper, who has nonetheless been gifted by Wisdom Itself.

After all, Consciousness is One.

Air is the same whether breathed by atheist, aborigine or altruist.
Energy is the same whether it takes the form of dog, mountain or human.
Sun gives light and warmth to all without discrimination.
God is One, no matter how hard we may try to claim it in our own name.

Consciousness is One, and the sooner we accept this fact the sooner we will liberate ourselves from the shackles of delusion and conceit.

How limiting is that which wants to receive through only one channel. In any other regard are we willing to experience sameness? We demand variety and diversity in every way but this, and we cannot recognize the insanity of it.

Just like light which is refracted into infinite shades of colour, so too the Original One has refracted Itself into infinite shades and colours of Wisdom, to suit the infinite expression of the Singular Self.

We must evolve beyond the celebrity culture which makes gods out of man and recognize that the Unfathomable Singular Source which has created each and every unique and precious being on the face of the earth inhabits each one as Animator and Motivator. We have to stop deifying the ego and start acknowledging the Source—everywhere, in everyone.

Today our civilization is like a newly pubescent boy from a broken home, testosterone rampant, out of control. How telling it is that when today’s youth are asked what they want to be, the answer is “famous.”

If humanity is to take the next step on the evolutionary ladder it must be a quantum leap from the material to the spiritual. Technology has progressed to the point of domination and destruction and still we are not living harmoniously in our environment, not to mention society.

Our arrogance is only exceeded by our ignorance—ignorance of what a human being is meant to be: not a self-satisfied, domineering bully but an expression of compassion and lovingkindness.

To this end “ONE, A Bouquet of Wisdom.” Gleaned from numerous sources is a gift to take you beyond your limitations and into the ONE. Enjoy the journey.

Punditry & Problem Solving

All the sophisticated posturing and punditorizing about the sorry state of our country and planet misses the point completely.

As Albert Einstein said: We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. The Intellect just doesn’t cut it—we must move to the next evolutionary level of perception and behavior.

All the ranting, all the money and all the scientific studies are as naught in the face of our essential dilemma: as a species, we don’t have a clue about our True Nature. And so we are like buffoons, blind and deaf, stumbling about in the dark imagining we are sighted and clever.

The singular root of all the problems we face—as individuals, as a nation, and as a civilization, is—we don’t know who we are.

It’s something like an actor playing a part and not coming back to his own identity: being stuck in the role and not recognizing friends, family or his own home. Everything he proceeds to do is then based on this false identity, the proclivities of a fictional character.

We humans are unaware of our True Identity and so believe ourselves to be the roles we find ourselves playing: President, prostitute, pundit, poseur; patrician, painter, playboy, prole; professor, playwright, punk, Pollyanna or philanderer…

In fact, we are not the roles we play, and whatever the part, it will be played with greater mastery than we can imagine when we are in touch with the Genius behind every role.

When we recognize our True Nature we recognize that every human that exists embodies that same Nature—that we are not disparate beings separated by language, geography, religion or race, but essentially and exactly the same in the most important way: we are both extensions and embodiments of a singular Consciousness.

So the answer to all our problems is the same: we must awaken to our True Nature.

An awakened Consciousness understands that whatever It does to or for another It is only doing to or for Its own Self—therefore Awakened Consciousness is naturally Loving, selfless, harmonious, considerate, cooperative, compassionate and wise.

Awakened Consciousness wouldn’t even think of harming the ecosystem on which It depends for Its existence.

So instead of complaining or criticizing—which creates a miasma of negativity similar to (Charlie Brown) Pigpen’s cloud of detritus—clean up your own act by taking a practical step toward our collective enlightenment. Practice the Three Little Steps of the Evolution Revolution and discover your True Self: a shining Light.

Nero is Fiddling – What About You?

I’m sure I’m not the only one reminded of a burning Rome.

But how in the world did we get here?

It’s quite astonishing and more than a little appalling, especially the fact that it has now gone on for two terms.

What is even more astonishing is the fact that millions of people HAVEN’T sat-in on the streets of Washington, bringing the city to a halt in protest of the wanton rape and pillaging of our own economy and well-being (not to mention the numerous lives so carelessly disposed of) that has gone on in the name of what? Defense? Patriotism? Ego? Greed?

I had been in a small village in south India for two years when the present administration took office— ‘took’ being the operative word. And because my awareness operates from a higher perspective, I knew this would be a momentous time—serving the Grand Design in an unimaginable way.

Well. Here we are, seven years on...

It’s very simple:

This is the time of the Evolution Revolution. And in this time of profound evolutionary transformation a dramatic awakening is obviously required.

Truth be told, Americans are quite complacent. Our isolation and our wealth, together with the programming we unwittingly subject ourselves to, encourages personal striving on the one hand and self-satisfaction on the other.

And while some suggest the Trade Towers occurred to precipitate a miasma of national fear and subsequent ratcheting up of control and manipulation, according to my understanding the entire exercise has been for one purpose only:

To awaken the Consciousness dwelling within by creating events of such dramatic magnitude that individuals are obliged to think ‘there has to be a better way.’

Indeed, there is a better way—and each one who would like to see it manifest must step over the threshold of complacency, apathy or self-centeredness and begin to act out the new paradigm: an enlightened compassion based on the understanding of our Oneness.

The concept presented in The Secret, which has taken the country by storm, has a great deal to offer. Unfortunately, it is being promoted (by those with a lot to gain personally) as a tool for personal gain.

I’m sorry to be the one to break it to you—but if we want to survive and prosper, we can no longer behave in a self-centered way—we have to broaden our arena of interest to include our neighbors, our community and the rest of the world.

Each one of us currently stands in Nero’s position and with all his power.

Rome is burning.

Will we continue to fiddle until it is destroyed completely
?

Each of us has the power to make a difference.
Each of us has the power to turn the tide.

Each of us can allow, accept and embrace the Consciousness of compassion and lovingkindness, and be part of the tide of awareness that is changing the world.

Not through the pop spirituality that is simply self-service in another guise.

But through unadulterated, 100% pure, undivided and undivisive, all-embracing, unconditionally loving, non-discriminating Brotherhood, Sisterhood, Personhood that shows up as Harmony, Peace, Goodness & Generosity.

After all, to legitimately call yourself a human, humanity must dwell in your heart.

Embrace the Evolution Revolution.


Listen to the Rap: http://www.saharadevi.com/home/the-evolution-revolution

Helen Keller


'When indeed shall we learn that we are all related one to the other, that we are all members of one body? Until the spirit of love for our fellow men, regardless of race, color or creed, shall fill the world, making real in our lives and our deeds the actuality of human brotherhood; until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.'

On Love

Every Heart wants to feel Love

Love is the reason we pursue the innumerable false gods of our time—the gods that have hitch-hiked in on the coattails of ‘civilization.’ The gods we have been brainwashed to believe will answer our prayers:

The god of image, whom we believe will bless us with Love if we look the way his propaganda has convinced us we must look; the god of wealth, who has persuaded us our coffers must be swollen and overflowing to afford his blessing of Love; and the god of status, who has fooled us into accepting that without him we are not worthy of Love.

And Love? Love arises of its own accord—unexpectedly, uncontrollably, like the scent of lilacs wafting by on a breeze in spring. We cannot obtain it on demand regardless of our outer beauty or our wealth, and unlike designer chocolates, we cannot order it over the Internet. It is also beyond all name and fame —the most arrogant celebrity cannot write it into her contract. It cannot be earned, bribed or manipulated; even to the most deserving, it comes simply as a Gift.

The Cellphone: An Instrument of the...



The thought occurred like the proverbial light bulb in a comic panel, thanks to a line in Jon Cleary’s “The Easy Sin.” In 2001, his protagonist Scobie Malone, a homicide detective in Sydney, reflects as he walks down a street filled with cellphone-using pedestrians: “Nobody, it seemed, could remain unconnected to someone, anyone, for longer than five minutes.”

I had noticed this phenomenon as well, in the London of mid-2002 upon emerging in the West after almost four years spent mostly in a small village in India.

Although I didn’t feel culture-shocked going in either direction, I had to admit to being astonished at this particular trend. What was the need driving this obsession to be continuously plugged-in in this way?

I casually dismissed it as a sign of the times: new technology, new product, hype-to-the-hilt and everybody’s gotta have it—a keeping-up-with-the-Jonesing for the latest toy, using it simply because one can—and marked it down as 21st century hyperkinetic Attention Deficit Disorder acting out

But at the moment of reading “Nobody…could remain unconnected to someone, anyone…” (emphasis mine) the realization burst into my mind like a shooting star: what might appear to be a lack of the ability to be, or to be present, or to be quiescent—all of which may still be true—might even more fundamentally be the expression of a deep-seated need to be connected, to feel as if we are related in a meaningful way—not just by the accident of birth and blood, or proximity—but a fundamental and significant connection as important as Life Itself. That this phenomenon, which I had so superficially condemned as a lack of Awareness, might actually be a sign and symptom of a unifying facet of the evolutionary process which is inexorably revealing the fact of our Oneness—and perhaps even a precursor of the inevitable telepathic ability that will arise as Consciousness evolves further .

Look at it: the need to feel connected must primarily arise from our initial separation: the cutting of the cord. That moment of physical detachment creates a need in us for re-union that leads to the frantic coupling generally culminating in marriage which we believe will provide the ultimate wholeness, but which usually just results in further frustration and dissatisfaction. Then the maddening search for completeness begins again, leading through a quagmire of worldly obsessions.

Now in the 21st Century, the sense of isolation has developed exponentially, as we have increasingly acquired the wherewithal to entertain ourselves without need for physical proximity: radio, television, video/games, computers, and email—everything can be contained in a single room if necessary and we don’t ever have to leave our home.

And even more, in a niggling, subconscious way, we feel profoundly alienated in a world that tells us we have to live life in the most superficial way—a way that is essentially contrary to our deepest Nature. Our deepest Nature, which is already connected, is not at all concerned with how we look, what we possess, or the accoutrements of ‘being cool.’ Indeed, our deepest Nature would laugh indulgently at a need to ‘be cool’ the way an adult would laugh at a child playing grown-up.

Our deepest Nature knows that we are connected in the ultimate way—that each apparent individual is part of a singular Consciousness in the same way that individual cells are part of a single organism—and has been attempting to get our attention and awaken us to this fact: We are One. One spiritual essence permeates All That Is, and we are a part of That.

Just imagine everyone in the world on a conference call at the same time. On a subtle level, this is the reality: we are all plugged in to Universal Mind—which is the ‘brain’ of our organism, the place ideas come from, and why we can experience a discomfort that is not personal but transmitted by another ‘cell’ or group of cells that is suffering.

In fact, cancer and AIDS in individuals are symptoms of the disorder affecting human life on the planet as a whole: in the same way that cancerous cells destroy healthy ones, some of us are destroying each other; and Auto-immune Deficiency is self-explanatory.

Could it be more obvious that we need to create harmony in our selves and in our world?

We are One and not only that, we are the same in the most elementary ways:

So the next time you pull out your cellphone just to connect, stop and make the connection within. Take a breath, feel your heart beating, experience the essence of Life Itself moving in you and sustaining you. Realize that that same Life is moving in and sustaining all of us, and in the most subtle and profound of ways we are more than connected: We are One.

The Harvest Prayer

(Anonymous 17th Century Sermon)


Please be gentle with yourself and others
We are all children of chance

And none can say why some fields blossom
While others lay brown beneath the harvest sun

Take hope that your season will come
Share the joy of those whose season is at hand

Care for those around you
Look past your differences

Their dreams are no less than yours
Their choices in life no more easily made

And give,
Give in any way you can
Give in every way you can
Give whatever you possess
Give from your heart

To give is to love
To withhold is to wither

Care less for the size of your harvest
Than for how it is shared

And your life will have meaning
And your heart will have peace



(This came to me in San Miguel D’Allende, 2003)

Let Freedom Ring

Our precious United States of America was founded upon the principles of brotherhood, equality and universal freedoms—predicated upon the inalienable rights of its constituents. In a scant two hundred years, rather than lead the world toward peace and prosperity, it has become a leader in greed and exploitation. Like the Roman Empire before its fall, this society is rife with corruption and hedonism.

The time has come for We the People to assume the responsibility bestown upon us and activate the role that our great country was always destined to play: that of leading the world into an Age of Peace on Earth and Good Will to All. These concepts are not platitudes meant for greeting cards, to be trotted out for a season of assuaging guilt and spreading good cheer, but as tenets to live by.

The time has come for We the People to awaken out of the trance we have been labouring under, and, like Sleeping Beauty awakened by her Prince, fond True Love at last.

True Love: Kindness and compassion—not bigger, better, more.
True Love: Goodness and mercy—not consume until you puke.
True Love: Righteousness and non-violence—not imposing our will on other sovereign states.

Martin Luther King had a dream. And he was assassinated.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy had a vision. And he was assassinated.
But We the People are a multitude, and they cannot kill us all.

We the People are already carrying the torch of Truth all over the planet. We the People are already shining the Light of Love all over the planet. We the People are already spreading the Peace that passeth understanding all over the planet. We the People might be a minority in numbers but we are mighty in our conviction.

We are not united yet, except by our humanity. We are not recognizable yet, except by our integrity. We are not citizens of one nation, or practitioners of one religion; we are not members of a single race—but we all speak the same language: the language of Love.

We love and respect the Creation and our neighbor as our Self. We do not practice an eye for an eye, but turn the other cheek; and demonstrate not by words but deeds how we would like our world to be: caring for each other and making sure there is enough for all Not involved with the superficial, caught up in appearance, but concerned with substance and deeply connected to an inner essence, a Higher Reality.

We the People, of every nation, every race and every creed, are walking the walk all over this planet, the Evolution Revolution is happening—quietly, pervasively, persistently—and it’s time to let our united voice be heard.

The United States of America is destined to play a role in this Evolution Revolution. Not as a bully, but as a benevolent model. And the universe that is Hollywood, with its attendant planets and stars possessing the power and means to lead, must do so. Hollywood must bring the message to the individuals who make up the multitude that they are not alone:

The Evolution Revolution is happening.
You are not single drops falling on parched earth, but part of a huge Ocean of Love, a great tide of Consciousness that is sweeping the Earth and establishing Itself in every nook and cranny.


We must come together and speak with One Voice.
We must let the language of Love ring out around the world.
We must demonstrate our sister/brotherhood as a single humanity, and refuse to accept or condone oppression in any guise: there can be no moral or legal justification for tyranny or oppression.

♪ “…from every mountaintop—let Freedom ring”

A Call to Consciousness from Consciousness: Join the Evolution Revolution


We are One and there’s enough*


The ‘stars’ of this planet must come together and create a new constellation—a constellation in a form that is wondrous to behold. But before that can happen there must be a realization: you who are like fallen angels have forgotten where you come from and why you are here: Not to indulge in sense-fulfillment and ego gratification, collectively spending trillions of dollars on possessions that are soon neglected or discarded, looking for fulfillment where none can be found. Not to fall asleep and imagine you are awake—living ‘Life.’ No—to realize you have been given everything you are and have: precious Gifts to be used for the expansion the Love on the Planet—for the good of what appears to be All, but is actually only One.

The misuse of resources is a sign of unconsciousness where compassion is meant to dwell; a selfishness and self-centeredness that is due to lack of understanding of who and what you are and the purpose of Life. It is definitely not “he who dies with the most toys wins.”

We are One and there’s enough

All there is, is 'God'—which is actually Pure Consciousness. Pure Consciousness exists without form. It is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient, Infinite and Eternal. The entire Cosmos emanates from a desire of this Consciousness to experience Itself in form. The Creation is a ‘play’ of Consciousness, predicated upon the evolutionary process—a process of Consciousness becoming unconscious and then gradually re-awakening to Consciousness once again. We have reached that point of awakening at this time in history: Consciousness is expanding apace on our planet.

As Consciousness expands in those created 'in God’s image' (with the ability to become Self-aware, aware that Divinity is its essence), the realization dawns that there is more than what society has programmed us to believe is of value in this Life. That the worldly, material, success, achievement, possessions we have made our gods are still not enough to satisfy the craving, the frustration, the perhaps unnamed desire that unsettles us from within. That unnamed desire is Consciousness attempting to call attention to Itself, and will never be satisfied no matter how much we have or do. It will never be quieted no matter how much food, alcohol, drugs or sex we cram into it from outside. It requires becoming aware of and alert to the ‘still, small voice’ within.

We are One and there’s enough


Human beings are like individual cells in the body of God. And every cell is of equal value and import. If any cell or group of cells is malfunctioning or missing, the entire organism suffers. This is the condition of our planet at this time. The larger organism is suffering because individual cells are malfunctioning. It’s as if a monstrous cancer has invaded the body and is running rampant through the vital systems. Radiation/chemotherapy (war) will not cure it; it might relieve it for a while, but if the essential issue is not addressed, it will return. And if those cells who have been spoiled by abundance (fattened) are not willing to change their lifestyles, the cancer will grow until the organism (humanity) is destroyed. The only possible treatment is Love.

We are One and there's enough

Enough for everyone to have their needs met. Enough to eliminate suffering.

Of course our youth rebel against and disrespect a society that only wants to create more worker cogs to perpetuate its existence. The non-conformism of youth is an important reminder that society as it is does not work. That it is not sufficient for some to have a great deal and be satiated in their excess, and for many to have more than enough and be complacent in their achievement while most are struggling and suffering—a distant disturbance, but mostly “out of sight, out of mind.”

This is why the phenomenon of homelessness exists in our land of opportunity. These precious souls are not to be reviled and castigated but appreciated and cared for. They, and the needy everywhere, play that role to awaken compassion in the minds and Hearts of those whose lives are mostly isolated and unaware of the great imbalance that exists in our world. It is not enough to throw a few millions at a situation and hope it goes away, salving a conscience that has been anesthetized by the idea that each one gets what s/he deserves. Were it not for the bountiful gifts of Nature—which we take so much for granted—humankind could not even exist. Everything we need for Life is given to us freely.

We are One and there’s enough


Humankind has been misled for centuries by those who would control and manipulate. We are not born in sin, but out of Love. The nature of 'God' is Love, and when we live in Love we are knowing God. The second coming we have long awaited has arrived. Consciousness—and its expression, Compassion: the essence of the Christ—is rising in the Hearts of multitudes all over the planet, quietly serving in a humble capacity: feeding the hungry, healing the lame, putting rooves over the heads of the weary and the weak.

You who have been gifted with birth in a country whose very existence is founded upon freedom, have the freedom to do as you will—to speak out against injustice or take action to alleviate deprivation. As individuals you can accomplish only so much—united for the greater good, as our precious States are united, you can literally move mountains, and help bring about the Golden Age which has been prophesied and dreamt of, and toward which our civilization has been moving throughout history.

I challenge you privileged ones to spearhead a planetary movement, something far greater than the world has ever seen, far greater than the world has ever imagined. Form a new constellation—a constellation of Love. You will find millions prepared to support your efforts. Shine the Light of Love where darkness now reigns. Join the Evolution Revolution.

We are One and there’s enough



What greater work could any individual or group of individuals accomplish than to dramatically change the face of the world they inhabit? The entertainers and athletes of yore are long forgotten, but you in present time, whose gifts have brought you the power to influence the masses, have an opportunity far greater than politicians whose terms are brief, or royalty who are mere figureheads. It is not for nothing you have been vested with the power and prestige, the name and fame to affect millions. Not for self-aggrandizement, but for Service.

Ask 'God'—in whatever way you relate to It—to open your eyes and Hearts and enable you to see how you can best use your combined abilities and resources to contribute to a dramatic healing of our precious planet. Give—and you will understand the gift of giving. Serve—and you will understand the gift of serving. Do for others, for those in need, and you will reap a reward you cannot even dream of— for everything we give to another we are in truth only giving to our own Self.

Take a single step towards Consciousness and you will be amazed at how Consciousness will come rushing to welcome you Home.

We are One and there’s enough

Hostage to Terror

Subtitle:The Entertainment Industry is offered the role of a Lifetime

If America would counter the image of ‘Great Satan’ fostered by the extremists who wish her ill, Americans must clearly demonstrate another face to the world. We can no longer allow power-crazed smoke-and-mirrors government forces to hold us hostage to ill-conceived policies.

While the government chooses to play sheriff’s posse on the world stage, We the People can show another facet of our national character. Rather than the perceived attitude of entitlement, bigoted contempt or self-centered lack of concern, a display of profound practical compassion would not only change the perception of those who might condemn us, but could actually inspire a quantum transformative shift in the way humanity conducts itself in the 21st century.

There is no question that the USA has been a leader in opportunity and possibility in modern history, with increasing prosperity a result. But what have we modeled for the rest of the world in the last few decades beyond behavior akin to spoiled adolescents? In spite of the pinhole outlook of the present administration, we the people have an opportunity to do something worthy of our privileged place.

After all, Americans are essentially decent people and not ill-intentioned. We are, perhaps, self-centered. Some may also be ignorant and/or lazy. Collectively we have been well-programmed to indulge and consume and desire more, more and more—way beyond our needs. But we are not ill-intentioned. The problem is that we have been brainwashed to believe in style over substance. It need not be so.

The past few decades have accorded a power unheard of in history to a particular segment of our population: the entertainment industry has become a behemoth of wealth and influence, and its members the idols and envy of the enthralled masses. Yet for the most part the adulation and remuneration so abundantly accorded is used merely for self-aggrandizement, and even when charity is considered, it often becomes simply another vehicle for self-promotion.

But what if the members of this privileged group decided to influence the world—not with Part III of a formulaic script starring Ego Rampant and his leading lady Ima Celebrity—but by deciding to live on perhaps 50% of the obscene income generated by a society bewitched by ‘glamour’ and use the other 50% to re-create the world as we know it? (Kudos to A. Jolie for a decent beginning.)

What if the majority of those who have been rewarded light years beyond their actual value woke up one morning and realized that a life of meaningless indulgence and pseudo-power is tragically empty and profoundly unsatisfying?

Just look at what the Gates Foundation is doing and imagine what a similar amount of money—backed by the faces and energy of those who have been placed on pedestals of popularity—could do not only to improve the quality of life on the planet, but to still the voices that criticize and condemn us. For you who have received so much it is time to give back. Start using your celebrity for the greater good.

In the 22nd century very few of our entertainers will be either remembered or respected for their work - but can you imagine the honor bestown upon a coalition of the same who, recognizing the influence they could wield collectively, sacrificed grotesque luxury and dedicated a substantial portion of their time and resources to transform the world as we know it? That would truly be the role of a lifetime. And by modeling such selflessness, millions would be inspired to participate in a movement unprecedented in history and unequalled in impact.

Attention Hollywood and the Music Industry: Stop being models of self-involvement and self-indulgence. Wake up!!! Look around. Get over yourself. Unite. Do something of real value. Join the Evolution Revolution.

All the money in the world will not protect you if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time. And if the planet becomes a hostage to terror, your millions will be small comfort.

As Americans we have been gifted with the best of everything this world has to offer. Let us now show the world our true greatness by giving.

The EvolutionRevolution

The Evolution Revolution

This is a time of profound global and personal transformation. Both spirit and science agree on a unified ground of being; the understanding of Oneness is percolating through the pores of organisms and the fabric of society. The time has come for all those with a higher vision of what our country and our world can be to realize and align with the extraordinary process that is happening on the planet: the Evolution Revolution.

While the death throes of the old paradigm appear on the surface as acts of insanity, Consciousness is arising in millions of people around the world whose hearts and minds are open. Open to an expanded, enlightened vision of what it means to be human in the 21st century. Open to dedicating time, energy and resources as an expression of an evolved humanity. Open to experiencing themselves as a conscious part of the One. Open to the Evolution Revolution.

What most don’t know is that there are millions more like them. Millions who are participating in organized humanitarian services without an agenda. Millions more who quietly do good works in their own community or beyond without the need for recognition. And many millions more with kindness in their hearts who would do something to alleviate the suffering of others but don’t know how. All are part of the Evolution Revolution.

The understanding is arising - the Evolution Revolution is revealing itself to those with the eyes to see. It is time to go beyond all barriers that divide in any way and demonstrate our Oneness. It is time to stand up and be counted - time for the individuals who make up the multitude to know they are not alone:

YOU ARE NOT SINGLE, ISOLATED DROPS FALLING ON PARCHED EARTH, BUT PART OF A GREAT OCEAN OF HUMANKINDNESS - A TIDAL WAVE OF CARING THAT IS SWEEPING THE EARTH AND ESTABLISHING ITSELF IN EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY.

The Evolution Revolution is at hand.

We are approaching critical mass.
