Unexpected gifts

On Sunday I was changing planes in Seattle. It was rainy, cold and windy. I had taken a small turbo-prop from Portland. The first plane that they put us on had mechanical problems and we all had to exit the plane. It took a little time to find us another one. The ride to Seattle was bumpy and a little scary. I was very late for my connecting flight and a little stressed out. As I was struggling with placing my carry-on in the overhead bin, someone called my name. A friend was sitting in the row behind me. The flight attendant moved me next to her. We caught up and she had brought chocolate (and bottled water, I was dying of thirst). How cool is that?

A Spiritual Conspiracy

On the surface of the Earth exactly now there is war and violence and everything looks horrible.  But, simultaneously, something quiet, calm and hidden is happening and certain people are being called by a higher light. A quiet revolution is settling from the inside out.  From bottom to top. It is a global operation. A spiritual conspiracy. There are cells from this operation in every nation on the planet.

You will not watch us on TV. Or read about us in newspapers.  Or hear our words on radios. We do not seek glory.  We do not use uniforms. We arrive in several different shapes and sizes. We have costumes and different colors. Most work anonymously.  Silently we work out of the scene. In every culture in the world. In large and small cities, in the mountains and valleys. In the farms, villages, tribes and remote islands.

 

We might cross paths on the streets. And not realize ... We follow in disguise. We are behind the scenes. And we do not care about who wins the gold of the result, and Yes, that the work gets performed. And once in a while we will cross paths on the streets. We exchange looks of recognition and continue following our path. During the day many are disguised in their normal jobs. But at night behind the scenes, the real work begins. 

 

Some call us army of consciousness. Slowly we are building a new world.  With the power of our hearts and minds. We follow with joy and passion. Our orders reach us from the Central Spiritual Intelligence. We're throwing soft bombs of love without anyone noticing; poems, Hugs, songs, photos, movies, fond words, meditations and prayers, dances, social activism, websites, blogs, acts of kindness ... 

 

We express ourselves in a unique and personal way. With our talents and gifts. Being the change we want to see in the world. This is the force that moves our hearts. We know that this is the only way to accomplish the transformation.  We know that with the silence and humbleness we have the power of all oceans together. Our work is slow and meticulous. As in the formation of mountains. 

 

Love will be the religion of the 21 century. Without educational prerequisites. Without ordering an exceptional knowledge for your understanding. Because it is born of the intelligence of the heart. Hidden for eternity in the evolutionary pulse of every human being. 

 

Be the change you want to see happen in the world.  Nobody else can make this work for you.  

 

We're recruiting.  Perhaps you will join us.  Or maybe you have already joined.  All are welcome. The door is open.

Osama Bin Laden is dead

Okay. He's been irrelevant for years. But now that the excuse for slaughtering people in Afghanistan and Pakistan is gone, is this ridiculous "war on terror" over. Can the U.S. pull its troops out and bring them home?

April 2011 can't end soon enough for me.

Here we go again : (

It's not that I don't care about the Libyans. I do. I really do. I've been glued to their revolution for a month now. I just know how interventions by the U.S. turn out. It won't be pretty. UNSC vote any minute.  Deja vu, I was in D.C. with thousands of activists when the Security Council vote was cast that sealed Iraq's fate. At least I had other people to commiserate with. This time, I'm alone, watching Al-Jazeera, listening to Qaddafi's psychotic ranting.
The resolution has morphed from a "No Fly Zone" (which wouldn't have done a bit of good), to a whatever means necessary declaration. Vote is happening now. Best I can hope for at this point is that the U.S. won't play a leading role in this. Qaddafi has threatened to attack ships in the Mediterranean if he is attacked. This could be really horrible.

Meanwhile....Japan was struck with a 9.0 earthquake and followed by a tsunami 5 days ago that has left so far, over 5,000 dead, and thousands more are still missing. Several nuclear reactors there are severely damaged and leaking radiation.  Remember going to jail in my 20's for blockading a nuclear reactor in California that was built on an active earthquake fault. We lost, it sits there today. Look at Japan now. Anyone wonder why we think this is a really bad idea?
(((((Japan))))))  Hugs to you.

French Foreign Minister made impassioned speech before the Security Council. They are voting now.
10 in favor
0 against
5 abstaining. Resolution is adapted 1973-2011
Screen switches to people in Bengazi celebrating.

Were These People Dropped On Their Heads?

Orange County, California. Insane asylum without walls..........

An elected member of Congress participated in this horror show. Sickening

Maybe Obama's Government Is Less Evil Than The Last One?

After 2 days of increasingly bellicose rhetoric from Hilary Clinton and David Cameron, it would appear that someone filled them in on what the Libyans would like and maybe exactly what is involved in what they've been threatening.

Libya has been expelled from UN Human Rights Council. What were they doing there in the first place? We all kicked up quite a fuss when they were appointed. No one listened. Looking at the underground dungeons in Benghazi today on ABC it seems we were correct.

Today's Theatre of the Bizarre award goes to President Saleh of Yemen. He is alleging that the unrest in the region is being directed from a secret "Media Room" in Tel Aviv, which is run by the White House.
Oh dear. He's giving the Gaddafi family a run for their money. Perhaps he's been taking the "Hallucination Pills."
