Feelings about Climate Change Issue

Posted on Oct 15th, 2009 by 1Vector3 : "Relentless Wisdom" 1Vector3

This contribution to Blog Action Day, the Blog Action Day topic for 2009 is a guest blog, cross-posted from the website of Aloha International. The author is Serge Kahili King, a Hawaiian Huna master who has been teaching around the world for decades. (Including his process called Dynamind.)

This is the best advice I've ever seen about how to deal with the anguish, the hopelessness, the emotional challenge posed by the whole issue of climate change. 

It boils down to the Serenity Prayer, though he doesn't cite that: 
God grant me the power to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I can't change, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Yet, and yet, remember the power of intention. We can do through our Oneness, energetically through intention, far far more than we can "do" with our bodies in the world. Giving lots of attention and positive emotional energy to the kind of Earth we want, and not much emotional energy and attention to the kind of world we DON'T want, helps more than we can imagine. King's take on how to do that, which is one of the best I've ever run across, is summarized in the free and downloadable (or snail-mail-able) booklet whose picture I have included here above  http://huna.org/html/aspirit.html

Here is his article titled Climate Change from the site's "Library Hut:: http://huna.org/html/climate.html

Here is the page of all the resources from the website http://huna.org/html/teaching.html

I have not personally studied or been involved with King's teachings, but have dipped into them through the years, finding them of good quality.

May the article bring you into more peace as well as more empowerment, with respect to climate change.

World Upliftment Meditation

Posted on Oct 9th, 2009 by 1Vector3 : "Relentless Wisdom" 1Vector3

Guest blogger:

Thanks to Deb for posting this oldie but goodie meditation. My ministry doesn't agree with every thought or word here, including the sexist language, but I resonate with the piece as a whole and with much of the phrasing. Passing it along to you as a resource for your own efforts to uplift this world.





In the beginning 
In the beginning God.
In the beginning God created the heaven 
and the earth. 
And God said Let there be light: 
and there was light.


Now is the time of the new beginning. 
I am a co-creator with God, and it is a 
new Heaven that comes, 
as the Good Will of God is expressed on 
Earth through me. 
It is the Kingdom of Light, Love, Peace and Understanding. 
And I am doing my part to reveal its Reality. 

I begin with me.
I am a living Soul and the Spirit of God 
dwells in me, as me. 
I and the Father are one, 
and all that the Father has is mine. 
In Truth, I am the Christ of God. 

What is true of me is true of everyone, 
for God is all and all is God. 
I see only the Spirit of God in every Soul. 
And to every man, woman and child on Earth 
I say: 
I love you, for you are me. You are my Holy Self. 

I now open my heart, and let the pure essence of 
Unconditional Love pour out. 
I see it as a Golden Light radiating from the 
center of my being, 
and I feel its Divine Vibration in and through me, 
above and below me. 

I am one with the Light. 
I am filled with the Light. 
I am illumined by the Light. 
I am the Light of the world. 

With purpose of mind, I send forth the Light. 
I let the radiance go before me to join 
the other Lights. 
I know this is happening all over the world 
at this moment. 
I see the merging Lights. 
There is now one Light. 
We are the Light of the world. 

The one Light of Love, Peace and Understanding is moving. 
It flows across the face of the Earth, 
touching and illuminating every soul 
in the shadow of the illusion. 
And where there was darkness, 
there is now the Light of Reality. 

And the Radiance grows, permeating, saturating every form of life. 
There is only the vibration of one Perfect Life now. 
All the kingdoms of the Earth respond, 
and the Planet is alive with Light and Love. 

There is total Oneness, and in this Oneness we speak the Word. 
Let the sense of separation be dissolved. 
Let mankind be returned to Godkind. 

Let peace come forth in every mind. 
Let Love flow forth from every heart. 
Let forgiveness reign in every soul. 
Let understanding be the common bond. 

And now from the Light of the world, 
the One Presence and 
Power of the Universe responds. 
The Activity of God is healing and harmonizing Planet Earth. 
Omnipotence is made manifest. 

I am seeing the salvation of the Planet 
before my very eyes, as all false beliefs 
and error patterns are dissolved. 
The sense of separation is no more; 
the healing has taken place, 
and the world is restored to sanity. 

This is the beginning of Peace on Earth 
and Good Will toward all, 
as Love flows forth from every heart, 
forgiveness reigns in every soul, 
and all hearts and minds are one in perfect understanding. 

It is done. And it is so

The Translucent Revolution

Posted on Aug 19th, 2009 by 1Vector3 : "Relentless Wisdom" 1Vector3
The_translucent_revolution_cover
I have no idea why it has taken 4 years for some of us to discover this book, The Translucent Revolution, by Arjuna Ardagh. I'm just starting to read it, and it's describing my experience of life, and the lives of most of the people I encounter here in Gaia and in my regular life: Millions of people are "waking up," in a kind of what I would call grounded, embodied,  and evolving enlightenment that doesn't fit the standard definitions. It's part of "changing the world," and quite related to the survey research done by Paul Hawken about grassroots organizations that are changing the world, which I blogged about.

What is Translucence?

Here's a simple description of the phenomenon, in a 7 1/2 minute video. 

Do an Internet search on the title to find all kinds of stuff about it. Can buy on amazon.com, find the guy's website, and his facebook profile, which is where I found this video.

I feel as if I am the last kid on the block to find out about this book. What do you know? What's been your experience of the book or the phenomenon?

Past Life Memories

Posted on Jul 26th, 2009 by 1Vector3 : "Relentless Wisdom" 1Vector3
Someone asked whether I have past life memories and if so, how do I know? This was my answer, thought I would share it here to see what comments get evoked!!

I have considerable and varied pastlife memories.  How do I "know" they are memories? The same way I "know" my memory of breakfast is a memory. And, to some extent, since memories are subject to error, there can be errors, mistaking imaginings for memories. But generally they do feel different, to me.

Some of the memories came spontaneously, and some were "triggered" by people helping me in my spiritual growth. 

The more interesting question is "What good are they? Do they benefit at all?" For me, the main benefit is that I can see how present-life issues fit a larger pattern, and that really does make the issue with its illusions easier to let go of. With 15 widely differing examples of a pattern instead of 6 from this lifetime, for example, it's easier to see the illusion involved, and harvest its wisdom by seeing the corresponding Higher Truth, thus transcending the illusion, letting it go.

Also, while some people seem to seek pride from past-life identities, for me they have generated nothing but a profound humility....

Having past-life memories also helps us break our identity with this embodiment and this mind, which helps us realize Who we Are. 

It also helps us have compassion for "perpetrators," as we remember we have been on both sides, actually on ALL sides of the victim-perpetrator-rescuer triangle, so it helps us transcend those perspectives into Compassion and a clearer realization of what human life is all about, why things happen.

Live, Sing, Dance

Posted on Jul 22nd, 2009 by 1Vector3 : "Relentless Wisdom" 1Vector3
This combination of orchestral music, dancing, and singing, in a huge group of people, is a most inspiring example of "amplified divine light in all." This is music as it was naturally meant to be experienced. To hear music without moving is quite unnatural, a noted philosopher (Friedrich Nietzsche) once said.

Enjoy this example of the fully alive, benevolent-world "New Life" that we in our church celebrate, and promote for all people everywhere!!

and check out other stuff by the same conductor. It's all similarly wonderful!!

Thanks to my Gaia Friend Albert in Germany for turning me on to this great stuff!!

Birthdays

Posted on Jun 12th, 2009 by 1Vector3 : "Relentless Wisdom" 1Vector3
Birthday2
So much is happening on Gaia around birthdays.

My celebration has started early, in the 50-stars Group, here. If you don't want to join that group, feel free to message me or leave a comment here!! Thanks to Deb for hostessing my party there, and thanks to all who've dropped in with gifts and wishes!! I already feel all warm-fuzzied !!

There is now a Birthday Calendar in the Gaia Networking Group, for the whole community, where you can post your birthday if you want to let people know so they can send you wishes. Then go to the special discussion thread to let us know where and how we can send you our wishes and gifts and celebration of you.

And the idea is still morphing.

Birthdays are a cool way of community bonding, IMO, and my hope is that the community activities around birthdays continue to morph.

Hugs to all, 
OM Bastet

Medical Views of the Bailout

Posted on Feb 15th, 2009 by 1Vector3 : "Relentless Wisdom" 1Vector3
Dollar_sign_money_bag
Guest Blog. I got this via email from another friend in Washington state (hence the reference at the end.) I rarely pass along inspiration or humor from emails, we are all overwhelmed with same, but this is toooo clever to let go by. Hope you get some health-promoting, spirit-expanding laughs from this.

----------------------------------------------------------

Here is the opinion of the Medical Profession on the Financial Bail-Out Package just passed by the US Congress.

The allergists voted to scratch it, and the dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves.

The gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve, and the obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception.

The ophthalmologists considered the idea short-sighted; the pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!" while the pediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up!'

The psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, the radiologists could see right through it, and the surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing.

The internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the plastic surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter."

The podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the urologists felt the scheme wouldn't hold water.

The anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas; and the cardiologists didn't have the heart to say No.

In the end, the proctologists left the decision up to the people in Washington.

Profound Advice

Posted on Feb 3rd, 2009 by 1Vector3 : "Relentless Wisdom" 1Vector3
Tools_blog_advice
Just thought I would lighten things up a bit with this profound advice. I think it somehow could be applied to the economy, but I haven't figured out how yet. When I do, I'll let the world know:


YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE -- 

Well, and a hammer.

 


IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40.

IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM...
