spiritual conspiracy :: how to heal the world

*this is from an email newsletter i get ::

A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY

On the surface of the world right now there is

war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time,

something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place

and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.
There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet.
You wont see us on the T.V.
You wont read about us in the newspaper
You wont hear about us on the radio
We dont seek any glory
We dont wear any uniform
We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles
Most of us work anonymously
We are quietly working behind the scenes

in every country and culture of the world
Cities big and small, mountains and valleys,

in farms and villages, tribes and remote islands
You could pass by one of us on the street

and not even notice
We go undercover
We remain behind the scenes
It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit
But simply that the work gets done
Occasionally we spot each other in the street
We give a quiet nod and continue on our way
During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs
But behind the false storefront at night

is where the real work takes a place
Some call us the Conscious Army
We are slowly creating a new world

with the power of our minds and hearts
We follow, with passion and joy
Our orders come from from the Central Spiritual Intelligence
We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking

Poems ~ Hugs ~ Music ~ Photography ~ Movies ~ Kind words ~
Smiles ~ Meditation and prayer ~ Dance ~ Social activism ~ Websites
Blogs ~ Random acts of kindness...

We each express ourselves in our own unique ways

with our own unique gifts and talents
Be the change you want to see in the world
That is the motto that fills our hearts
We know it is the only way real transformation takes place
We know that quietly and humbly we have the

power of all the oceans combined
Our work is slow and meticulous
Like the formation of mountains
It is not even visible at first glance
And yet with it entire tectonic plates

shall be moved in the centuries to come
Love is the new religion of the 21st century
You dont have to be a highly educated person
Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it
It comes from the intelligence of the heart
Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings
Be the change you want to see in the world
Nobody else can do it for you
We are now recruiting
Perhaps you will join us
Or already have.
All are welcome
The door is open

How To Heal The World - by Owen Waters

We have entered a phase of The Shift which is now

bringing rapid transformation to our world.

This energy of transformation can express itself at many levels.

The energy has to go somewhere,

so if the energy of transformation fails

to find expression at a higher frequency level,

it will spiral downwards until it does find an outlet for its expression.

It can be channeled into a spiritual focus,

into emotional release or it can be allowed to manifest

in the only remaining field of popular action, the physical world.

There it will erupt through emotion-driven, physical phenomena -

volcanic eruption, earthquakes and violent storms, for example.

All of these "natural" disasters are driven by

the chaotic emotional energy of mankind.

All of them can be healed and prevented

when people channel enough spiritual energy to soothe the chaos.

People ask why they are here on Earth at this time of rapid change and upheaval.

As a spiritual person, one of the reasons you chose this time

was the fact that you know how to neutralize the energies of change

which would otherwise cause chaos.

Today, it is more important than ever to send healing energies

into the world.

Worldshift :: Global Changes :: Security :: Progress :: What is success?

**********

I'd actually like to talk politics of all things! And some philosophical issues about problems & "Soul-utions" us humans are facing in these changing times. Since I was completely out of the loop & in a real serious "Yoga Bubble" for 4 months, i've had alot on my mind. Guess my mind is not totally still & empty yet while doing all this Yoga & Meditation.

:: WorldShift 2012 ::
I found reading this very very interesting. its addresses all the macro-trends of ecosystem collapse, global climate change, economy forecast, population explosions, 2012 prophecy, etc...GIves us a good perspective on what we're facing right NOW in the world, and why the world really needs us to 'be the change we want to see', live green & sustainable, eat less, give more, be of service.

http://www.worldshiftnetwork.org/declaration/index.html

just be sure & click on all 3 highlited 'blue' links for "Preamble", "The Global Situation" and "The Way Forward".

And as I was losing hope after 8 years of Bush-ism, I think a positive change is finally upon America! its a miracle! If you really read this below Obama speech, you can see that there is SO MUCH HOPE in the air now! Even if half comes true!
A good time for me to move back to the ole United States of America. Just hope the
foreign affairs can drop back to the level of Switzerland or Costa Rica & get the
military doing volunteer work in foreign countries they tore apart instead!
But really...make time to read this & it will change your view on where we may be going:

Obama's speech to an Joint Session of Congress February 25, 2009

http://www.usnews.com/articles/news/obama/2009/02/25/president-obamas-address-to-a-joint-session-of-congress.html

His 3 main points are to improve renewable energy/sustainablity (actually , health-care (long overdue! Canada & Europe have the right idea!), and education (unfortunately we wont radical alternaive schools like Waldorfs everywhere like if i was president!). So, after reading this i'm not feeling as 'doomist' about the US possibly having a complete economic crash & system collapse this year as some out there forecast. Time will tell. These politicians ALWAYS make big promises and he & his vice-pres. Joe Biden are only 2 human beings. They are still up against a big team of neo-conservative corporate empire tycoons that will do everything they can to prevent massive positive change that gives power back to the people. But 'change is in the air' - and anything seems possible again! Lets all hope for the best!


*******
lets talk Thailand politics shall we? Well not much i can say really except they know how to have protests here! Things are heating up with the Thai redshirt protesters in Bangkok with 2 tanks being seized by them on April 12th (hey, my birthday, i should have been partying on those tanks with them)! Trying to oust the current prime-minister isnt easy! You can see a video of them siezing the tanks here:

some general human issues & their possible "Soul-utions" ::

I'd like to get something off my mind again. I'm real curious to see what YOU have to say about this topic as it seems of the utmost importance this era of our life on Earth. Actually, it has been this way for millenia & perhaps since the beginning. I'm talking about SECURITY. and insecurity. national security. job security. relationship security. food security. homeland security (same as national security) and on a personal/family level... home/land security (owning land/home/shelter). It seems we just cant get enough SECURITY in this life on Earth now can we? But let me ask you, what would you do if you could not have those securities? If you went to your bank & the sign said Bankrupt sorry, we're closed permanently (Argentina 2000, full economy collapsed). Or you went to the grocery stores & the food was gone from the shelves. How would you feel? Even in abundant times in our rich countries where we have been brought up with great security & comfort, is this not now possible with global economies shifting, American empire waning, etc.? What is a Soul-ution to this? I beg you to comment. My feeling is that now would be the perfect time to be 'green'. To really really live green. To get involved with gardening in your neighborhood gardens. Better yet, to move outside the metropolis & big city zones to a greener area & grow your own food. What about the full economy collapse? Well, if one has shelter & food...guess they will be just fine until things get straightened out. This is one reason I have decided to 'unplug' from the urban environments & really get into a sustainable lifestyle...finally! Thought about it for over 15 years! For me, this means moving to a tropical/hotter climate where food can grow all year round, in my case Hawaii on the isle of Maui. My buddy Mattius had been renting a deluxe Yurt (search online if you dont know) dome which was solar powered, solar water heating & totally off the grid. His front yard had avocado tree (putting out 100s every few months!), bananas, papayas & more! He didnt even need to garden with this little fruit orchard, nature did the work for alot of daily food!
For me to leave Vancouver was not easy. I have been very attached to big city life. The music scene & wonderful people i've met & loved dancing with & getting to know the past 6 years! It is like a magnet that still attracts me strongly! But not as strong as this green living dream. Maybe most of you are fine with staying in the cities...I ask you...what are your "Soul-utions" for developing greater security in these changing times?

As for the economy downslide, there is a theory that it will never be a growth based economy again. I like that idea actually. The world needs to have a sustainable economy, because this extreme capitalism where greed is not controlled, has led to this dead end road.
I read the following & have to agree:

"What then is there to do in this situation we may ask? If the economy will never start to grow again, what will emerge in its place? Many realize that what needs to happen is a transition to a sustainable economy, something that humanity has not experienced for some 5000 years. This would mean a return to a non-dualist Garden of Eden in balance with the environment at a new and higher level, a transition that many will probably find very difficult and almost incomprehensible to grasp mentally speaking. We may for instance take note of the fact that no world leader or economist is currently advocating a shift to an economy that is sustainable. So far, few have even started to consider that there will be no upturn in the economy, and when this starts to dawn on people we may in fact come to witness all kinds of actions of desperation and social unrest taking somewhat different forms in different cultures. Many hierarchical structures are likely to collapse."

Ok, Ok. So if we cant have national security, and economic security, at least we have that of relationships? Or do we!?! With the divorce rate 50% or higher in N. America, and only 1% in India. Maybe arranged marriages like in India have some kind of a "Soul-ution" as well?
I was horridly against them at first, but after seeing & hearing stories about how couples are brought together by the parents, astrologers & guided towards being a good match in many ways working, i've become kind of neutral about it. Many don't work, many do. It just seems that , in my experience, i've always longed for a long-term healthy relationship, but have settled for shorter passionate fiery relationships (afterall, i'm a fiery Aries), and my curren "Soul-ution" is
to wait, and become very at peace with myself. To patiently wait for my life partner to appear. Wait until the right strong women finally comes my way that is a good match. To keep working
on developing my strengths & dissolving my weaknesses. Being peace. I believe then relationships will be successful & not have this constant insecurity, fear of seperation, jealousy & mind games & all of that. What do you think?

Another thought...what is true security anyway? Wouldnt that be deep-inner security? Trust in the flow of Creation? If you are spiritual or religious...trust in God/Jah/Allah/Brahman/Jehovah/Creator would give you the greatest security, no? Losing the fears of humankind & instead being at peace with 'whatever happens, happens' or...'things are as they should be'. This type of inner-security that surpasses all other securities can be non-religiously developed too with the scientific & methodical practice of meditation. Deep meditation, brings deep peace & contentment. The insecurities dissolve. This has even been proven in over 600 experiments by T.M. - Trancendental Meditation taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (the one the Beatles followed) in university & medical labs worldwide. The brainwaves are brought into deep Theta & Delta waves that produce many healing effects...one of them = SECURITY !

A final note on that for now is that "Change is the Only Thing Constant". Here in our short lifes we are seeing the Earth & countries change at an alarmingly rapid pace. We must flow with the change. A quote on that:

"One thing that psychologists are reasonably sure of about human nature is that it resists change. We like the world to be the way we think it is, even if we think its unpleasant. At least we can anticipate what may happen. Change and uncertainty have possibilities of unsettling things happening especially when that change doesn't take account of our desires, our wills, our egos." (Charles T. Tart)


********
Progress. So what is progress exactly? This progress us Westerners have been brought up to build. This material progress. Buildings, roads, cellphone towers & such. Is this progress? What could be the priorities of being a healthy planet & human society, regarding progress? Maybe some day we will look back on these ultra materialistic days & see that we created a dead end road. We were scrambling & rushing towards this progress only to build our own grave? I sure hope not. I do have hope that we can change things around...but its hard to imagine some days. But i do!
We could for one make the whole world greener on a massive scale! A GREEN REVOLUTION!
It looks as the Obama's new plan may make the US a leader in this direction, which really
makes me warm & fuzzy inside! I hope it works! What do you think progress is regarding your country, or your personal life?

The thing is...the striving for success makes us mad. Constantly uncontent & grasping for more, more more. Its how we were brought up. Not like the ages of before in some lands that valued spiritual wealth more than the material realms. Our spiritual wealth seems to have gone bankrupt as a global society. The Buddha revealed a gem in the 4 noble truths, to end desire. He did not mean to not have anymore goals, ambitions or desire at all. Just to let go of the desires that are causing you to suffer. He recommended the ever-logical 8-fold path as the "Soul-ution" which billions have followed. As far as i can see, it worked in the East as things have been very much less materialistic & deeply spiritual in these lands. Cultures like Thailand "The Land of Smiles" raised with 90% Buddhist population, makes you understand why they smile & a peaceful calm vibe is the norm. Cultures like India, where for 5000+ years the mystics, gurus, yogis, vedantic philosophers, saddhus & such were considered the highest SUCCESS....developed a country that has had 100's of saints & prophets & a population that is known as having huge hearts full of LOVE & DEVOTION to the DIVINE. This is why i like traveling. I do love alot of things about America still, and Canada! But...we must know that there are alternatives & understand things from a higher perspective than our culture brought us up with. Otherwise, i'm afraid we have been brainwashed & there is not much hope in change in the masses following the corporate leaders. Even with Obama & this new hope of rebounding & building a new America, will things really change on a large scale? What are you doing to "Be the Change You Want To See" (as Ghandi said) ? What is your idea of success personally? And success of human society?

As Ari, who co-owns Orion Healing Center (where i'm doing the 7 day detox colonics) said on his website :

"It's all about becoming balanced and in tune with yourself and becoming the Master of our own self. Be happy, follow your dreams and visions, live life fully. Listen to your own intuition. Many people are listening to everybody else and are conditioned by society (media, friends, family etc ...), they are not listening to their own self (intuition); they are not connecting with the source."

OK. enough. time to shut off the brain & think of NOTHING! it's about time!

AHhhhhhhhhh......
