A Vision for A New Earth

'1st January' photograph by Shugaley Pavel

A Vision for A New Earth

• An Earth where chaos matures into growth and reality is a soul harmony vibrating to Love in synchronicity.
• Knowing through radical trust, silence and stillness that the dark is pierced by the Light, and fear and ignorance transformed into insight, love and wisdom.
• New leaders with spiritual vision unashamedly inspired by a loving connection to all life and a passionate caring for self, humanity and the environment lead the world to an unanimously agreed upon charter of peace.
• Religion is no longer fought over, but honored as expressions of divinity.
• Borders vanish to form one Circle of Light one earth – one vision - one garden – one economy – one humanity.
• Diversity is celebrated within the uniqueness of each individual’s culture, race and heart.
• Generosity and gratitude replace greed, and the desire to accumulate out of fear of scarcity, is replaced by knowing that all is provided for.
• Spirit is acknowledged in the radiance of each person’s being beyond all illusions.
• The creative potential of each person’s abilities unfold into expressions of joyous creations.
• All learning celebrates soul development, character, creativity and imagination.
• Sound, thought, light, feeling and color are understood as
  palettes of creation to manifest reality.
• Love is fostered as the elixir of life and Joy the blueprint for achievement.
• Beauty, compassion and forgiveness weave perception and create connection.
• Infinity is grasped as an awakening into the ever evolving mystery of the Now moment.
• Time is seen as a fractal of Infinity where the Now locates,
  attention focuses and intention directs.
• Nature is Light. Light is the interplay of the dance of particles in the known cosmos of Love. Light is the breath of The Divine.
  In Light, are the codes of all life playing a symphony of Love.
• Love is all there is. As you are in your heart. In Peace. In Love. Know that you are loved beyond measure.
• Know that we are in a New Earth where we all celebrate our magnificence.
• Dream it and it will Be.

Rare Pink Dolphin... more signs!

'Rare pink dolphin' photo by Capt. Erik Rue

When I lived on Kauai I often would sit alone and watch the dolphins playing just off shore. One day while pondering a particularly difficult life situation a dolphin caught my attention. He jumped out of the water and spun in circles then dove out of sight. He repeated this again and again while making joyful noise. When we touched consciousness I was showered with Love and happiness and received the message 'There is only Love, play dear one, nothing is of import which leaden the heart."

A pink albino dolphin! What a glorious gift from Creator. Dolphins represent manna, breath, play and Oneness. Manna is energy... the essence of Creator which is present in all Creation. Breath is life, taking in and renewing Manna which sustains body; keeps it alive. Through the rhythm of breath we may begin to sense energy and intensify our connection to God. Oneness is our Divine connection with everything... 'all that is'. Pink is the color of Universal Love, love of self and others, harmony and inner peace; and a developed heart chakra (Anahata). Our pink dolphin gives us indicators (a road map) to guide us as we expand spiritually. Indicators... link with Creator for answers, commune with nature, remember Love and Oneness, be mindful of bodily energies and breath and spread waves of laughter, joy and love into the world. Thank you for your glorious indicators beloved Creator. A pink dolphin... indeed!

Kari Pugh, Mad Mariner daily boating magazine writes, "Albino dolphins are rare. Only three have been spotted in the Gulf of Mexico since 1994 and there have only been 14 sightings around the world since 1963. But albino dolphins that appear to be pink are unheard of, says Patricia Rosel, a  NOAA marine biologist who studies the genetic glitches found in bottlenose dolphins."

Three Little Birds - Connie Talbot

'Three Little Birds' sung by Connie Talbot

Sweet, fun and happy, makes me smile. I love the lines, 'Don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright.' How true!  Worry stems from thinking about past/future, usually something which has not yet manifest. Worry is fear-based (FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real or Future Expectations Appearing Real). It's not yet become reality, so is assumed or expected. With our powerful thoughts backed with by feelings we make what we dwell on real. So remembering, 'Don't worry cause everything's gonna be alright' helps us take a deep breath, step back from 'whatever' and know we are ok. Right now we are ok! Thanks for the happy reminder. I just found Connie today on youtube, what talent!

Connie Talbot, Song: Three Little Birds, Album: Over the rainbow (2008), Label: AAO Rainbow Recording  , Official website: www.connietalbot.com.  'Three Little Birds' originally made popular by Bob Marley.

'Three Little Birds' lyrics:

Dont worry about a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: dont worry about a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Rise up this mornin,
Smiled with the risin sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin, (this is my message to you-ou-ou:)

Singin: dont worry bout a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: dont worry (dont worry) bout a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Rise up this mornin,
Smiled with the risin sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin, this is my message to you-ou-ou:

Singin: dont worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. dont worry!
Singin: dont worry about a thing - I wont worry!
cause every little thing gonna be all right.

Frozen Wave... Strange Weather

'Frozen wave' by Tony Travouillon, Anarctica

'Frozen wave' is my name for this amazing photo taken by scientist Tony Travouillon in Antarctica.  That little dark speck is a person... what an awesome sight. Thank you again beloved Creator for this awe inspiring sight. Many other images can be seen in a gallery on Travouillon's website.

 

The weather certainly has been erratic lately. Has it seemed strange to you too? 

 

Here is what the Weather Channel reports:

January 16, 2009 - record low temperatures were set in 13 states. Plus there's a new record low for the state of Maine - Big Black River -50 degrees F. The  old record low is -48 degrees at Van Buren, Maine, January 19, 1925. For more on this see weather.com.

January 16, 2009 - Jeff Mielcarz, Road Crew Host weather blog... "Talk about a roller coaster ride! On Thursday January 15th, the low in Bismarck, ND was minus -44 degrees, while the high in Los Angeles, CA was 85. THAT'S A 129 DEGREE DIFFERENCE over 1,600 miles by car! At 10am eastern on Friday January 16th the temperature in Pensacola, FL is the same as it is in Fairbanks, AK at 31 degrees. Here's the key though, when you factor in the wind ... it FEELS ten degrees colder in Florida this morning. ...In Alaska low temperature LAST Wednesday (January 7) was -46, while their high this PAST Wednesday (January 14) was 44. That's a 90 degree swing in one week!

January 8, 2009 - Dr. Greg Forbes, Severe Weather Expert weather blog reports "heavy rains have ended in Western Washington, but massive river flooding continues..."

January 6, 2009 - Stu Ostro, Senior Meteorologist weather blog records broken, "From white to wet -  The 61.5" total snow accumulation in Spokane in December was a record for any month, and there has been another 16.6" during the first week of January; Seattle had ~14" in December compared with an average of 2.5"; and 22" fell in Portland where the average annual snowfall is 5.2".

This is just in the USA. Weather worldwide is strange too.

 

My thoughts...

Weather can't make up it's mind... cold - warm - cold - frigid... humm is this a message? A sign? It is global warming? Or perhaps the next ice age?

Maybe it is about consciousness... what we focus on becomes our reality. Some folks believe one thing... some another. Now more then ever large groups of people are focusing their thoughts on global warming... or the other extreme massive cooling. Many people are fearful. Fear is simply an emotion... but a powerful one. Take an idea, internalize it and back it by strong emotion... and it manifests.

The Law of Manifestation states, "Suggestion is the generator behind all operations and manifestations in the material world, and these manifestations cannot happen until suggestion hits the subconscious mind and is 'taken in' by the subconscious mind. An act, objector event, begins with a mental impression of suggestion in the mind, impregnated by emotions until it is exteriorized; a normal function law is used in hypnotherapy, mental telepathic healing, destructive brainwashing cults and visualization.~'The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary' by June G. Bletzer, Ph.D.

We are manifesting our beliefs... thoughts... desires... collectively. So a tug of war of sorts is occurring... as one group manifests global warming and another global cooling.

Imagine what our world could be like with a collective vision...  peace, balance, health, happiness, equality, and prosperity for everyone... all life. Amazing Indeed!

Joy Riders

Joy Riders by Rassouli oil on canvas,  36" x 48"

A beautiful painting of Soul's amazing journey back to Source. I see Soul spiraling through inner-space. Passing through all the dimensions back to God-head. Experiencing all Creation along the way. Tasting, seeing, loving, living, flying and being a Holy spark of God. Wonderful!

Rassouli says, "I believe we are multi-dimensional beings who exist simultaneously beyond time and space in infinite dimensions.  Various dimensions of existence are reflected in my paintings as different cycles in a flowing spiral that represents our soul.

Rassouli, born in Isfahan, Iran was inspired by his mystical uncle. As a result he developed an early appreciation for painting and mystical poetry. He studied classical and impressionistic art as well as mysticism. In 1963 he immigrated to the United States where he continued his education in art and architecture. You can view more of his beautiful works at his rassouli.com.

Creator

a poem by Bonnee Klein Gilligan

No matter what religion

Creator dwells within

and God has never left us

he can't... you see, he is us

and all Creation too.

You say that God made pain

I reply he didn't, he made

emotions, mind and spirit.

It's we who choose the outcome

of how we feel and what we think

our happy, sad or worried

comes from us alone.

How I respond to others

or even to myself

is my responsibility

not God's, not yours nor others

it is mine alone my friend

and yours alone as well.

God called us 'human beings'

he says 'Just be... my children... play'.

But we take that play and twist it

and call each other names

we poke and hit and banter

until we feel the shame.

We hurt ourselves my friend

not God nor other either.

God called us 'human beings'.

we call us 'human doings'

for the being part escapes us

in our daily life of doing.

God's gone missing in existence

from our minds, and words and lives

and we blame God for our suffering

and we blame God for our pain

and we blame God for every other thing

in life that brings us shame.

It is we who have created that

not God nor other either

we put everything outside of self

when it's us that's the creator.

God loves us beyond reason

and allows our will and folly.

For this is how we grow and change

and choose again a different play

a different game, a new response.

It can't remain the same for long

for this is how we grow our soul.

It's through our pain we change

or stay the same and suffer.

So it's a choice to stay the same

as well a choice to change.

God loves us and supports our choice

with majesty and might

he doesn't even mind it much

if we only choose to fight.

For he knows one day we'll get it

and we'll change our haughty ways

and move back again to love and peace

for our eternal days.

Paris...

a poem by Bonnee Klein Gilligan

Ah Paris 'tis the city of love

a beautiful place indeed.

Enjoy yourself and if you like

have a pastry for me.

A croissant, pasty or a tart

with cream, and fruit, and crust.

Such a delight with every bite

is sinful, and a must.

Have an espresso at a street cafe

and watch the passersby

In thought, or talk, or steadfast walk

so busy with their lives.

Enjoy a walk along the Seine

or boat ride to the Louvre.

With easy access everywhere

you can also ride the Tube.

Enjoy your trip to Paris

have a glass of wine for me.

And over here I'll taste it

on my lips, just wait and see.

I taste a red, hardy and full

it’s peppery and smooth.

Oh no it’s white, a crisp delight

it’s flowery… oh no it’s bright.

Did you have two, or maybe three

I’m so confused it must be me.

I taste a tart, and coffee too

my senses don’t know what to do.

Enjoy your trip to Paris

and I’ll be here with you

Or is it there, I just don’t know

with you I’m split in two.

I don’t know what I’m doing

and I don’t know what I see

All I know that I like you

and you’ll have the best from me.

Enjoy your trip to Paris friend

best wishes, bon voyage

I don’t know how to end this

so I’ll just press the pause…

Money... I want!

About 8 years ago my step mother said to me, "I am my stuff. I am my money." What she was saying is that without her 'stuff' she'd be nothing. She was worthless. Are we our money? Does it really provide what it is that we desire? Power, prestige, lots of stuff, freedom? Or is it just paper or coinage and our thoughts about it give it perceived value and some mystical power?

The thought that keeps running through my mind is...

"It's not about money. None of it is about money. Money is only one form of exchange."

A young man said to me the other day 'I'd prefer "humane" profit, but hey, profit gives me the ability to behave humanely." Does it take profit to behave humanely? Or are our thoughts the deciding factor in all things ultimately?

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” ~Buddha

In the video interview below Bryon Katie says to her student,

"Turn it around. Say that again using the word thought instead of money (profit)."

So turning the young man's statement around, "I'd prefer 'humane' thought, but hey, thought gives me the ability to behave humanely." At the core - it is our thoughts that create our world. Personally and globally. Not money.

Seems we always see greener pastures elsewhere. Putting things outside of ourselves. I hear friends saying, "I'd be happier if only I had.... (fill in the blank)." Most often when the elusive 'happy maker' is obtained, the happiness gained is fleeting. Then we're back to our old selves again, searching for the next 'happy maker' to fulfill our desires.

Many of us put much of ourselves and our time into thinking about money... getting more, keeping it, spending it, not having enough, having none. 'Loving money' or 'hating money'. Both fall into the same category since we are expending self for it.

"Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless." ~Ecclesiastes 5:10

What would happen if we put as much thought and time into 'What can be done for the greater good? For the Earth, society, community, family... Creator.'

"Full of love for all things in the world, practicing virtue, in order to benefit others, this person alone is happy." ~Buddha

Or self... wholing (balancing/healing/loving) self.

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”~Buddha

Miracles. True Happiness. Peace. More?

What wonderful things can you imagine?
