Revolution of the human mind

Those words above are meaningless to a dull, enslaved mind, fast asleep in a kind of drugged stupor. Too many of us are still unable to hear the alarm to awaken and take back our lives and our world. 

"Awaken to what?" you ask.  

Without a total revolution of the mind, we are unable to see. With our eyes closed, we are unable to see.  But, when we awaken we will see.  

When we awaken from our thousands of years sleep and discover what the ancients knew, sadly and terribly, we will realize we were lied to by those institutions and systems that purported to care, to love, to shepherd us.  But, they did not.  In fact, they blinded our eyes and sold us into slavery, left to languish for many long centuries while they pummeled our beautiful planet. We have remained this way until it was almost too late.

The antidote to that long intoxication is a simple truth.  It's an idea that will thrust humanity into an awareness leading to our long awaited and urgently needed awakened state of consciousness. 

The Divine lives within you not outside of you.  All that you need to know is within you. The knowledge and wisdom of God is within you.  You need not worship an external God, but listen to God's wisdom already planted in you.  You were born with it.  The Divine was always part of who you are.  It is what makes you perfect. You are holy and beautiful, wise and genius.  Do not believe otherwise.  

A voice other than God led you to believe you were unworthy, flawed, broken, dirty and undeserving of God's love and benevolent wisdom and guidance.  That is untrue.  You are beloved and perfect.  Listen to the Divine voice within you.  Listen for your intuition until it rings clearly through the layers of lies heaped upon you.  

If you attempt to hear God outside of you, you will hear the judgment and controlling powers of those outside of you who themselves never found God within them. They control you with fear and manipulation, threatening hunger, unemployment, poverty or even terror and the possibility of torture and death. It's on CNN and BBC and all the networks every day.  It's on the cover of every newspaper, magazine and on the radio and in the lyrics of all the current music and depicted in our movies and videos and television programming.  

The great lie has become so common no one questions it.  It is assumed among us and left unquestioned. We have been completely seduced. People have been lured like sheep to the slaughter, selling their souls to the cares, conditions and goods of this very unholy world.  

Over the centuries, somewhere along the line we submitted to the great and terrible lie.  Even the teachings of the one who came to "save" us from this terrible lie were turned upside down and rather than used to free us, were twisted and corrupted to more deeply enslave us. 

The Divine voice is magnetic, resonating through you, calling your consciousness to listen to who is within you, who is the authentic YOU.  Not other, but you!  As we each begin to listen to God within us, we will realize that the same God who is in each of us, is in all of us.  When we respond to God's voice, together we will move across the face of the earth with a force to recreate and take back our lives, nations, tribes and entire planet.  Together we will move as ONE because the One who created everything is for us and within us.

God has spoken again: One World, One People

Wake up and listen.

We need to come together as a world. All separate nations and tribes need to put down their differences, and join forces - spiritual, economic, environmental, political - to strengthen humanity for what may lie ahead. We need to look each other in the face and see each other as our brother or sister as if we came from the same parents.

Unlike any other time in human civilization, we need to come together as a single force.  Today, we are facing something we never expected and for which we are completely unprepared.  

God has sent a Messenger to us, who is being backed up and supported behind the scenes by those previous great prophets of Christianity, Buddhism and Islam. We have to come together as a single world, collaborating together to face the changes that are sweeping our planet - from environmental crisis that could exterminate life on the planet to ending all the wars, building a new civilization that shares resources across the planet and build up a strong, whole, active world population. 

Here's the introduction to the New Message from God, which I encourage you to read.  At this time, I know of no other way to begin spreading this urgent message.  So, I'll post it here and continue to comment on it, discuss it with you, and hope that you read it and share your thoughts.  

"There is a New Message from God in the World. It has come from the Creator of all life. It has been translated into human language and understanding through the Angelic Presence that oversees this world.

It continues the great series of transmissions from the Creator that have occurred over centuries and millennia.

It is a New Message for this time and the times to come.

It fulfills the former Messages that have been given to humanity, and yet it reveals things that have never been shown to humanity before. For humanity is now facing a grave and perilous set of challenges, both within the world and from beyond the world.

The New Message from God is here to alert, to empower and to prepare the human family—people from all nations and religious traditions, from all tribes, groups and orientations.

It has come at a time of great need, a time of great consequence. It is preparing people for things that have not even been recognized.

It is prophetic in alerting people to the Great Waves of change that are coming to the world and to humanity’s position in the universe, especially regarding your contact with other races.

It calls upon the great spiritual presence within each person—the great endowment of Knowledge that has been given to the entire human family, which must now be cultivated, strengthened and brought forth.

It speaks to the great spiritual need of the individual—the need for purpose, meaning and direction.

It speaks to the great relationships that people can establish with one another, relationships representing their higher purpose in life.

It speaks to the needs of the world and the needs of the future. In so doing, it brings purpose and recognition, unity and cooperation, wisdom and strength to all who can receive it, who can learn it, who can follow its steps, who can contribute it to others and who can share its wisdom in service to other individuals, to families, to communities, to nations and to the whole world.

Receive this blessing. Learn of the New Message from God. Realize it will affirm all that is true within your current traditions, and it will speak to the deeper wisdom that you already possess. It will speak to your heart, even beyond your thoughts and beliefs and the thoughts and beliefs of your culture or your nation.

Receive this gift and learn of it patiently, taking the Steps to Knowledge, learning the wisdom from the Greater Community and recognizing the power of the One Spirituality of humanity in uniting humanity, in strengthening humanity and in preparing humanity to recognize and to navigate the difficult times ahead.

Receive the New Message in its calling for the preservation and the strengthening of human freedom, cooperation and responsibility.

For without this New Message, humanity is facing a grave and precipitous decline.

It is facing the loss of its freedom and sovereignty in this world to other intervening forces from the universe around you.

Without this New Message, the human spirit will remain dormant, and people will live lives of desperation, competition and conflict.

It is the Creator’s Will that humanity emerge into the Greater Community of life in the universe as a free and sovereign race—as a strong race, as a united race, as a race that is capable of maintaining its cultural diversity while honoring the deeper strength and purpose that will keep the world strong and keep the human family vital, active and creative, presenting a new opportunity for advancement in the future.

But to advance you must survive. You must survive the difficult times ahead, and you must survive competition from beyond the world regarding who will control this world and its destiny.

Each individual must recognize that they have a great opportunity to discover the deeper Knowledge that God has given them—the Knowledge which contains their purpose, their meaning and their direction and the criteria for all their meaningful relationships.

Therefore, there is a New Message from God for the individual, and there is a New Message from God for the entire world. It is here now.

It has taken a long time for the Messenger to receive it, for the Message is very great.

Honor then the one who has come to bring the New Message into the world.

He is a humble man. He has developed the wisdom necessary to undertake such a great role, and he has been sent into the world for this purpose.

Receive him. Understand him. Do not exalt him. He is not a god. He is a Messenger bringing the New Message from God into the world.

This is the time now. This is the great opportunity. This is the answer to people’s prayers all around the world—prayers through every faith tradition, through every nation and culture, praying for wisdom, strength, unity, freedom and deliverance.

Receive this New Message now. It is come, and it is come at just the right time.

Peace is the way to peace

"Force, violence, pressure or compulsion with a view to
conformity, are both uncivilized and undemocratic." 

     - Mahatma Gandhi

As our city streets are filling once again with idealism, with young and old, who want to revisit the nation's economic system and are looking to some of the old thought from the 19th century to bring relief to the plight of our current economic climate, we need to be careful not to fall into the old pattern of revolution, riots, violence, bloodshed. 

It is one thing to come together under the banner of a beautiful vision for our country that edits - and I mean edits rather than completely rewrites - our current system, but it is quite another to follow in the footsteps of our Arab friends who are embroiled in unimaginable bloodshed. 

We need to remember the beautiful lessons Mahatma Gandhi taught us.  Peace is the way to peace.  And, any kind of oppression - whether it's corporate, political, economic that cheats the innocent of their fair share through the cunning and predatory behavior of the loveless and selfish is violence against those people.  So, the entire "occupy" conversation is about peace and nonviolence in a less obvious,  indirect way.  It is again an opportunity to step out on the world stage, into world history, and effect change drawing on love and nonviolence as the means.

If, we, the people, are to continue to lead the world as a free society, advocating for peace, liberty, free expression and free enterprise, we have to hold that noble vision with as much dignity and maturity as possible.  We have to remain peaceful at all times, regardless of whatever comes our way.

One of the best ways for people to come together, to move as one body, one mind, is through music.  In the '60s when Americans poured out into the streets calling for an end to the Vietnam War, it was music that spoke to the masses and for the most part, the masses remained peaceful.  The war ended and everyone went their own way. 

Now, we're back in the streets again, calling for further changes, for a modified economic status quo, one that may call for a revamping, a remedial restorative role by government in the outrageous bank policies, which have gone on unchecked and continueto be backed by corporate interests.  In my simple opinion, the system may be beyond repair. BUT, the opportunity for people to come together - to sing one song - is beautiful. 

It's the vision that's so powerful and if we can hold that vision, together, in peace, believing in faith, loving and inviting God into the masses, the change may not be what we can envision today, but it may be what is best, what  brings together diverse threads of our common humanity to heal our country, and send healing ripples throughout the world.

"A coward is incapable of exhibiting love. 

It is entirely the perogative of the brave." 

- Mahatma Gandhi

Where are the Bob Dylans, and the Peter, Paul and Mary's of today?  You are out there.  Put your songs on the streets again.  As we sing together, we knit our hearts and minds together, and thereby become stronger and more invincible.  This occupy movement must not be seen as another "dirty hippie" event.  (I'm sure you've heard its detractors) Rather, it's a powerful need that must be handled with expertise and great wisdom and vision. We need to be united, we need to be peaceful and we need to be wise - and not just for ourselves, but for the whole world because the whole world is watching.

While the traditional meaning of "anarchy" is NOT what we want, it is possible that an understanding of "anarchy," as per Norm Chomsky may be worth considering. Following is an article in which he discusses his vision of a helpful form of anarchy (bloodless, of course).

The Relevance of Anarcho-syndicalism
Noam Chomsky interviewed by Peter Jay
The Jay Interview, July 25, 1976

"... there are obvious tendencies in industrial capitalism towards concentration of power in narrow economic empires and in what is increasingly becoming a totalitarian state. These are tendencies that have been going on for a long time, and I don't see anything stopping them really. I think those tendencies will continue. They're part of the stagnation and decline of capitalist institutions." - Norm Chomsky (from 2nd last paragraph of this article.)
