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.)

Grace in a tempest

Grace like rain

This song is one of my favorites.  I've loved it in rainstorms, blizzards and on tranquil sunny days.  It has spoken to me in grief, fear and in joy and celebration.  God's love graces us in all our ways, washing over us on all our paths - stormy or placid, through upheavals and in the sweet comfort of familiarity.  

Today, as the southeast holds its breath, hoping the 25 million souls in the path of Hurricane Florence will be safe, with no loss of life - human or animal, my heart returns to this beautiful song which reminds us that God's grace is like rain.

I pray that everyone in the path of the storm or even indirectly affected by it, feels God's grace in every drop of rain that falls and God's Holy Spirit in every winded breath of that great and fierce category 4 hurricane.

Today, be safe.  Remember you are not alone.  All of heaven is holding your hand, guiding you to safety.  May love guide and protect you throughout this terrifying event.

I am LOVE (and so are you)

As we emerge from centuries of darkness, we are rediscovering what previous civilizations may have known. Yet, tragically, what they might have known did not save them.  They perished about 12,800 B.C. in a global deluge, caused by three meteors splashing down in northern Canada. The meteors burst through a slowly melting ice age, flooding the planet to the tops of the Himalayan mountains, the Great Western Rockies and sinking ancient Indian temples, whole cities, pyramids erasing almost all traces of an enlightened global civilization.  

Yet, ancient messages lingered on pyramid walls, in cryptic Sanskrit, Hindu legends and in the well known ancient myths of a global flood retold in the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, Noah's Ark and other indigenous cultural legends throughout the planet.  Almost every culture has a flood story.  Today, it's well documented through scientific testing there actually was a global flood.  

As we continue to find ancient civilizations sleeping underwater off the coast of India, the Philippines, even pyramids in Antarctica and so much more, we're realizing our ancient ancestors knew something we've lost and are just now rediscovering. (See Graham Hancock's Underworld for the awesome details about this.) But, the question is, "What did they know that we don't and could it help us?"

Rather than dive into a long discussion about what went wrong as we began to recover a thousand years after the deluge that drowned most of the planet, how we were misled by the dark control of abusive power throughout these long centuries since, I'd like to share a simple awareness that dawned in a conversation recently, which is clearly only the tip of the iceberg on this whole subject. 

There are so many more questions than answers about our prediluvian ancestral civilization, but we know some things that are both startling and illuminating. We know it was a global civilization, much as we are becoming now technologically.  We know there was a common language. Shattered remnants of that one language are hinted at in all our current world languages which share tiers from a common root language.  Most interesting is there is strong evidence this ancestral civilization was enlightened.  

Obviously, there is so much we may never know, but we are realizing they were enlightened and highly spiritual who used another means of communicating. Some of their legends did survive the great flood and are found in the ancient legends of India and many others.  We've attempted to trace the origins of those religions and there simply isn't one.  Today scholars realize their origins pre-exist the flood.  This is evident in the ancient Vedas, Yugas,  Sufi legends, Sumerian myths, Incan and Mayan South American myths and is even traced into Judaism which originated long later but still contains former oral traditions.  What these people were able to do is barely understandable today, yet we're starting to get it. It is reported that they lived exceedingly long lives.  How was that possible, and can we trust that information to be accurate?

Apparently, they communicated without technology through telepathy, ascended into other dimensions and seemed to have been peaceful, creative, compassionate and egalitarian.  There is every indication we honored our racial roots without prejudice, and those individual cultures flourished in radiant splendor.  There is evidence of an ancient religion in Africa which may have survived the great flood as the ancient Egyptian religion, which ended due to internal corruption.  

So, what is the big mystery they knew and we didn't for thousands of years since the demise of that ancestral civilization?

It's hidden in our DNA.  Apparently, we really have 48 chromosomes, pairs of 24, rather than the 23 that are "visible" to geneticists.  The 24th is invisible because it's multidimensional.  It's light vibrating at too high a speed for our 3-D vision to detect.  It's our "divine" gene, fully connected to, or part of, the higher order of timeless divinity.  Since every cell in our body is comprised of our DNA, apparently this invisible, yet illuminated 24th DNA molecule is also in every cell of our body.  It connects with all the other DNA creating an individual body of light, which is known as our "light body."  It is also believed to be able to connect through light resonance to all the other DNA on the planet! Also, our light body does NOT perish when we die.  Apparently, it continues to move into the higher dimensions, perhaps reaching "heaven," but let's not mix metaphors.

Scientists now know that material substance is condensed light which vibrates at a level our vision is unable to detect. So, we simply cannot see the light that is in everything.  

What if we bring into this equation the metaphysical knowledge that the highest level of enlightenment is the power in this light, which is part of and connected to the Divine source of creation and life which is right here in our human bodies? Then, we wonder what is this divine light within us?

I believe it is the power of "God" within us, woven into a beautiful radiant light body which is part of us and actually perfect, pristine and untouched by our less than loving, fearful and ultimately selfishly destructive egos. What if we could consciously tap the power of our light bodies?  Would we be more powerful, more creative, more loving?  I think the answer is yes, definitely!  But, how do we tap into it, how do we build a bridge to it?  

It seems we already are doing it but don't know it.  The clue is in Moses encounter with "God."  When Moses is told by God to implore Pharaoh to free the enslaved Hebrew people, Moses asks God who should he say sent him.  God replies, "Tell him 'I am' has sent you." Moses does as God says, and the world remembers the long legacy of the liberation of the Hebrews every year in Passover.

It is in that "I am" statement that connects the human being with their divine power, which is God within, the creative life force within, who is knowable, relational, ultimate Being and ultimate Self.

So, again, I thought about all the "I am" statements we hear every day, absolutely everywhere, and realized in our innocent ignorance we were damning ourselves.  How many times do we hear people say, "I'm broke.  I'm sick.  I don't feel well.  I'm unemployed, etc. ?"

If we know that our Creator is ultimate love who has poured creative light power into us right down to our mitochondria, who has also warned us not to create using empty words ( aka "speaking falsely, bearing false witness, or worshipping idols - which are empty powerless wordages")  then, we need to be mindful of our intentions and use of words.  

I also wondered further how we could connect with our inner power, our light body, and help it glow brighter, powerfully illuminating our bodies, our lives, our families, communities, our world,  transforming everything and lifting us into a place of power and a creative ability we have never known this side of the great flood.

If it's through "I am" statements that Moses could defeat Pharaoh, then the answer is in the "I am" statements.  Suddenly, it was obvious, staring me right in the face.  What if we became conscious of what we said?  I realized if we spoke a silent mantra to ourselves of "I am LOVE"  (realizing everyone else is also) holding that awareness mindfully, vigilantly, constantly, maybe we could change and that change would be felt around the world.  Would our bodies heal, would our broken hearts heal, would we become more creative, healthy, powerful, more telekinetic?  

Absolutely!  We are love, all of us, right down to our DNA, and that love is distilled in us as light, a light so highly vibrational our 3-D eyes can't see it, but our DNA can.  And, further, we can control the quality of that light, turn it up or dim it, increase our creative power or diminish it.  We have that ability if we choose it, if we intend and will it.  The key is in our will.  

I think this was one of the great mysteries of our ancient ancestors,  There's more, so much more, but this starts us on our path to enlightenment and healing our world. It's what the ancients would want us to grasp to survive our own miscreations.
