The sunny and bright side of Goa is a treat for all and it does feel like you're in Paradise ... even if that fleeting feeling is for a short while ... until you stumble across the dark hidden underbelly of paradise, lost ... or is it ?!

In this never ending pursuit of happiness in the outside world through the physical senses we seldom stop and wonder what the fuck are we really doing other than chasing shadows of the past and feeding our addictive behaviours within the confines of closed circles of folks dealing with similar demons ! Do we really need to keep chasing those sensory pleasures aimlessly, day after day ... fooling ourselves in believing tales of non existent P.LU.R values in the modern party scene which once was a code all true ravers followed ! 

But the show must go on ... and the beat never really stops ... the chaos has increased manifold ... clearly evident if you do happen to step out around NYE anywhere in the Northern coastal belt of Goa ... its unimaginable how accustomed we have all become to chaos in our lives, desensitised to so many things affecting life at large. Our lack of awareness of self is at the helm of all our troubles ... with a system that is built to control humanity and subvert human consciousness to its lowest lows. We are all healing at so many levels of our being and the universe is always guiding us all along, if only we could all see how this magic is weaved through the infinite intricacies of the cosmic loom. My healing journey and awareness of a spiritual reality began in the winter of 2006 in the wooded underground party scenes in Anjuna, Goa. The truth is that Goa is just so Dogon magical that its beyond words can describe. Its a place where Instant Karma and manifestation practices become the norm when lived consciously with complete awareness of ones actions ... something about being close to a huge water body is extremely calming for the empath. During sleep much healing and receiving direct messages and transmissions through dreams could transpire for the spiritually aligned ones.

Goa is something to be experienced and like everything in life, we create our own reality ... always. Some of us tend to easily get caught up in loops of familiarity which doesn't allow much learning to happen for most, stuck in our comfort zones. Hiding away from pain ... one way or another ... never truly healing and playing victim ... passing on the same hurt onto other people ... living unconsciously. Being part of a corrupt and violent system can only yield a similar energy on the dance floor. What was once underground has now become a commercial pseudo-underground party culture where this is little or no regard for anything including human life. Whether its dirty cops extorting money out of fearful tourists caught on the wrong side of things .... or uncontrolled mob violence leading to someones death ... the energy behind going to a party to have a good time is kind of defeated. All of us Goa folks have at some point taken a step back just to reflect at our own actions and the consequences that follow ... and realised how important it is to spend your time and energy, wisely !!! 

The dark side of anything only serves the purpose of bringing the uninitiated, into the light ... and so it is !

And ... the season begins ... with what clearly looks like the sign of our present times .... HAHAHAHAHA :D .... Open to Interpretation ..... What do you think ?!

If you ask me, it looks like the 'Coronavirus' mainstream media image and it's message to humanity ... To see through the illusions of deception and fear based mass hysteria that has gripped humanity for a long time. This is only how the end, begins ... We have relied far too much on technology and the externalising of power in our society.

It's time for a mass global awakening which involves many if not all aspects of life, which may seem separate at first, however are deeply interconnected. Everything from Food, Health, Education, Medicine, Earth History, Creation Mysteries, Aliens, UFOs, Portals ... is to be explored in a new light as the patterns of inter-connectedness emerge.

This whole 'Plannedemic' serves a prime directive to unite humanity as ONE ! There are many of us who feel this at many levels and now, even more. The Universe is unfolding perfectly as it has to, with many more souls on Earth, awakening to their true nature and flowing with the changing times, gracefully, with love !


We have been preparing for these times and everything will start to make sense as things unfold. All we have to do is listen to our intuition in the here and now and stay rooted in our deep sense of knowing who we are, while letting go of any and all kind of baggage we've carrying around that has been weighing us down. In a state of knowing, emptiness .... ! In a state of departure, while constantly arriving .... :)<3 ...="" :="" a="" arriving="" constantly="" departure="" in="" of="" state="" ul="" while="">

    You will soon realize how easy it is to sway and manipulate the masses once you've learnt the art of mind control and meta-programming the masses. Such is the world we live in, the matrix to be precise, which thrives on feeding our illusions and perpetrating our false beliefs in societal structures and the idea of separation and individuality with little or no idea about the inner workings of a universe, grander than we can ever imagine. Thankfully some of us here remember who we are and why came here in these times ... Our mission is unfolding here perfectly as per plan and we are regrouping and preparing for ushering the dawn of a new age on Earth. Speaking our truth in these times is seen as a courageous thing to do and helps others like us, find us ... and this tribe gets stronger, gets larger as the light of truth can no longer be kept concealed and all shall be revealed in these times. Each one of us is playing our part in ushering in more light into dark spaces for this is why came here anyway ... :) Many of us are remembering who we are and are connecting with the ever flowing fountain of courage within us all, speaking our truth, living our truth, each day, each moment of our lives.

    May the truth be told as it is, with no other hidden agendas, anymore ... May we all lead by our own example in action, not just in word !

    Here is what Robert F Kennedy Jr. an American environmental attorney, son of Robert F. Kennedy and nephew of former president John F. Kennedy has to say about Vaccines and Bill Gates.

    "Vaccines, for Bill Gates, are a strategic philanthropy that feed his many vaccine-related businesses (including Microsoft’s ambition to control a global vac ID enterprise) and give him dictatorial control over global health policy—the spear tip of corporate neo-imperialism.

    Gates’ obsession with vaccines seems fueled by a messianic conviction that he is ordained to save the world with technology and a god-like willingness to experiment with the lives of lesser humans.

    Promising to eradicate Polio with $1.2 billion, Gates took control of India ‘s National Advisory Board (NAB) and mandated 50 polio vaccines (up from 5) to every child before age 5. Indian doctors blame the Gates campaign for a devastating vaccine-strain polio epidemic that paralyzed 496,000 children between 2000 and 2017. In 2017, the Indian Government dialed back Gates’ vaccine regimen and evicted Gates and his cronies from the NAB. Polio paralysis rates dropped precipitously. In 2017, the World Health Organization reluctantly admitted that the global polio explosion is predominantly vaccine strain, meaning it is coming from Gates’ Vaccine Program. The most frightening epidemics in Congo, the Philippines, and Afghanistan are all linked to Gates’ vaccines. By 2018, ¾ of global polio cases were from Gates’ vaccines.

    In 2014, the Gates Foundation funded tests of experimental HPV vaccines, developed by GSK and Merck, on 23,000 young girls in remote Indian provinces. Approximately 1,200 suffered severe side effects, including autoimmune and fertility disorders. Seven died. Indian government investigations charged that Gates funded researchers committed pervasive ethical violations: pressuring vulnerable village girls into the trial, bullying parents, forging consent forms, and refusing medical care to the injured girls. The case is now in the country’s Supreme Court.

    In 2010, the Gates Foundation funded a trial of a GSK’s experimental malaria vaccine, killing 151 African infants and causing serious adverse effects including paralysis, seizure, and febrile convulsions to 1,048 of the 5,049 children.

    During Gates 2002 MenAfriVac Campaign in Sub-Saharan Africa, Gates operatives forcibly vaccinated thousands of African children against meningitis. Between 50-500 children developed paralysis. South African newspapers complained, "We are guinea pigs for drug makers"
    Nelson Mandela's former Senior Economist, Professor Patrick Bond, describes Gates' philanthropic practices as "ruthless" and immoral".

    In 2010, Gates committed $ 10 billion to the WHO promising to reduce population, in part, through new vaccines. A month later Gates told a Ted Talk that new vaccines "could reduce population". In 2014, Kenya's Catholic Doctors Association accused the WHO of chemically sterilizing millions of unwilling Kenyan women with a phony "tetanus" vaccine campaign.

    Independent labs found the sterility formula in every vaccine tested.

    After denying the charges, WHO finally admitted it had been developing the sterility vaccines for over a decade.

    Similar accusations came from Tanzania, Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines.

    A 2017 study (Morgensen et.Al.2017) showed that WHO's popular DTP is killing more African than the disease it pretends to prevent. Vaccinated girls suffered 10x the death rate of unvaccinated children.

    Gates and the WHO refused to recall the lethal vaccine which WHO forces upon millions of African children annually.

    Global public health advocates around the world accuse Gates of - hijacking WHO's agenda away from the projects that are proven to curb infectious diseases; clean water, hygiene, nutrition and economic development.

    They say he has diverted agency resources to serve his personal fetish - that good health only comes in a syringe.

    In addition to using his philanthropy to control WHO, UNICEF, GAVI and PATH, Gates funds private pharmaceutical companies that manufacture vaccines, and a massive network of pharmaceutical -industry front groups that broadcast deceptive propaganda, develop fraudulent studies, conduct surveillance and psychological operations against vaccine hesitancy and use Gates' power and money to silence dissent and coerce compliance.

    In this recent nonstop Pharmedia appearances, Gates appears gleeful that the Covid-19 crisis will give him the opportunity to force his third-world vaccine programs on American children."


    Karma is Here, NOW !

    In times like these, are we all receiving certain signs in the form of visions and dreams of an apocalypse to come ? There are have been many prophecies that have come true in our times and the seers have also grown in number, with each one having their version of what might be ahead of us, in our not so distant future. I have been prodded by the Universe to share one such apocalyptic vision of mine which I feel is something others also might have experienced in their visions / dream states. This is how it all began ...

    I woke up one morning just around sunrise and noticed I was lying in bed and it was morning, the balcony door was left open (facing a forest) ... (Must've passed out the previous night) ... and I felt there was a vision or something coming through and I had to close my eyes again ... and so I did. I usually don't have many lucid dreams or even clear recollections of my dreams since I smoke quite a bit before going to bed which I'm told affects remembering the dreams, although the dreams never really stop. This was unlike anything I have ever experienced before in a very very lucid state .... like i was watching a movie with my eyes closed.


    It started with this HUGE wave rising ... it just kept rising until I could see what resembled a massive hood of a Cobra from my perspective, right under it. The scene changes and now I am looking out from an apartment on what seemed like the 10th or the 11th floor in a multistory building. I was looking out through a balcony entrance and I could see some people standing in their balconies in the adjacent building, a level or two below. The next thing I see is water sweeping these people off from their balconies and now they were floating on water. I saw there were 3 or 4 other people in the same room I was viewing this from, but I could see only their dark silhouettes from an observers viewpoint. At this point I asked myself how do i feel, i sensed no fear at all ... like i wasn't really there. Perhaps in an out of body state. The scene changes again and now I see my ex wife, in still, calm waters ... holding on to a big log of wood. I somehow was floating above the water as I came close to her to check if she was ok. She responded saying Yes, she was fine. I was assured she was fine and then I see myself and my son from again an observers perspective gliding above the water and just going away ... and I woke up !

    I remembered my vision so well, like I just finished watching something in my waking state. I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror soon after and I noticed my left eye looking a bit funny. In couple of hours this eye was swollen like a tomato and I couldn't open that eye at all. The vision, my eye ... this pain and frustration were making my question the whole sequence of events as to WHY did this happen ... It's only in adversity that we learn may hold true in this case as I learned new healing methodologies to recover from what seemed like an insect bite from the forest, which also somehow induced this vision ?!?! It took me a week to completely recover and I was able to see from that eye again, however the vision kept bothering me ... like I had to do something about it. This was sometime in the first week of August 2018, about a year ago. A few days after my vision the Kerala floods happened which kinda made me wonder if there was a connection between the two. A few days after I came across an article about a man called Madhav Gadgil who predicted the Kerala floods and also said that Goa would be next in line ... this is partly due to all the illegal mining for Iron ore in this region around the Western Ghats.

    My intention is to simply share this vision with you folks to know if any of you have also had the same kind of visions or dreams. I feel there is something very real to all of this and we shall see this unfold in our near future. In times like these, many truths will be revealed much to the shock and amazement of the slumbering masses, who will probably go through a rude awakening to 'The Big Picture'. In the last chapter of "Laws of the Spirit World" a book by Khurshed Bhavnagiri, the transmissions she receives suggest that in these times there will be many cataclysmic events and there will be many UFOs seen in our skies which will be taking people to habitable zones in a post apocalyptic scenario. It's interesting to note that something similar was mentioned by the famous channel Barbara Marciniak in her book Bringers of the Dawn, where she speaks of many UFOs / Spaceships will be seen in our skies ... and if you ask this ships intuitively if they are from the light, you will get your answer. There are many of us who are presently unaware of our true origins and Earth's history and all that religious dogma and indoctrination will be put to the test when our illusory worldview is threatened by realities never heard of. We are all in this together and in times like these we must reunite as the one family of light we truly are. There is nothing to fear and run away from, but there is a lot to learn, understand and assimilate within our being and expressed in the lives we lead. Dolores Cannon also speaks of a new 5D Earth coming ... from a linear perspective of how we observe time. As we increase our own vibrational state we will slowly begin to gravitate towards this new world emerging where Peace and Harmony are a way of life and we all live as ONE !

    Perhaps, we wake up one day and find ourselves in a totally new world, a different reality ... which we are co-creating ... !

    There are no accidents, no random chances in this reality we co-create and experience at an individual and at a collective level. Everything happening in our lives is pushing us forward on our evolutionary path and each one of us is on this journey, whether we like to accept this now or later is one's choice hence our journey from the darkness of ignorance to a place of knowing, a place of truth and never ending light. We are being nudged forward to recreate ourselves each day and there are forces at play beyond the comprehension of our rational thinking mind who are always guiding us along. Whether you call it your higher self, your Intuition, Spirit Guides, Angels, God etc ... it is essentially another aspect of yourself, it is you. Through many psychedelic journeys we come face to face with the inherent connection between all things, which are nothing in their truest essence ... the universe is energy at different frequencies of vibration and we are all living the illusion of swimming in this sea of consciousness however we are this sea, just for the sake of analogy ... trying to put certain ineffable revelations in words, humbly.

    From my own personal journey within the raving culture, I have seen and experienced many different kinds of situations which have somehow shifted my awareness from perceiving this world from the limited framework of my mind to something outside of my self which is essentially omnipresent, its everywhere. Enlightening revelations may well be a consequential side effect of taking Psychedelics and becoming one with the music in a trance dance frenzy ... expressing our truest feelings, uninhibited. On almost all of my experiences on LSD I felt completely in tune with the intelligence of the body, which spoke to me in an unspoken language, showing me signs ... what i should be paying attention to ... what is really important in the here and now ... my attention was always drawn towards the breath. Almost involuntarily, one goes into a state of deep trance and we start to receive information if you may, or downloads from somewhere ... everything begins to make more cohesive sense when the patterns start to emerge as dots begin to connect. The Universe is always working with us and not against us ... if we only learn to trust our intuition more we will realize how everything happening is a consequence of what we have held in our vibrational state. We are capable of achieving great things once we start to flow with the natural frequencies of creation which speak only one language which is the language of love, its the highest form of vibrational energy we can fathom and it is what everything is made of.


    The Psychedelic parties and the raving culture are definitely powerful avenues to bring about this Psychedelic Catharsis in our lives, however these are only gateways or portals to something even more grander if we learn to traverse these paths well, with love and awareness ... Once Psychedelics open up your mind then you can never go back to the older version of yourself and this is what scares most people who are afraid of change and are still desperately holding onto overrun patterns chasing illusions in the material world. There are many in the Psychedelic community who are looking for a quick fix and escape from the mundane through the Psychedelic Experience ... and it works, for a while ... Until one starts to become more sensitive to energies and can see underlying patterns behind what goes on ... its almost like when we are bombarded with too much overwhelming information one finds it hard to make complete sense of ... being surrounded by a many different energies, lacking the feeling of clarity ... feels like more wild, untamed, unconscious energy pumped by amphetamines for most part, since a lot of folks these days just want the physical sensations of a Serotonin Blast which equates to the feelings of love ... with side effects of course and often short lived.





    The Psytrance culture has given a lot of Psychonauts across the Planet a lot to work with, provided the work is done like it should. Taking Psychedelics responsibly requires one to be well informed and guided by someone experienced, usually a Tripsitter. Our energetic state before doing these Psychedelics is also key to what our experience would shape up like. For most part, on our Tryptamine journeys we encounter what we are holding in our present state of conscious awareness and what matches our vibration. The Universe is always working with us, showing us what we need to see and we are the ones who create each experience by the power of our thoughts. The external world, our dreams, our desires are all illusions, however serve a purpose of showing us where our vibrational energy is taking us, giving us the opportunity to learn and hence create more consciously. We find most peace and satisfaction in our lives when we are on our path, following the signs the Universe is showing us while being guided by our intuition and not our limited egos. My personal journey so far has been profoundly revelatory and compels me to share some of these realizations with you for this is my purpose, my mission, to be able to articulate to best of my ability the random strangeness we call life, which is in fact not random at all and there are no coincidences either. Its always humbling to realize the trickster nature of the Universe which swiftly rearranges itself just when we think we had it all figured out. We can chase the next party, the next psychedelic experience, the next hot partner ... finally realizing what we are searching for has always been here with us. This many may not fully comprehend for its where they are on their journey right now. I know this for I have been there myself.

    The Psychedelic Awakening opens up new pathways and breaks down some of the self created barriers in our mind about who we think we are ... but we tend to forget easily and get seduced by the Maya of the material world. This too has a purpose to serve for it has taken you to the point of awakening. This Psychedelic Catharsis, this Ego Meltdown or Ego Death is what brings about a powerful transformation in our lives and we start becoming sequentially, more aware of the path forward .... being guided by intuition. We have many gifts waiting to be discovered and they come to us in Solitude. I am forever grateful to the Psychedelic Trance scene for showing me the way and also making me realize that the scene by itself is not necessarily the way and Psychedelics are to be used wisely and not abused for the sake of feeding our limited pride and egos. I am grateful to all the people who have been part of my journey so far and have brought about many important lessons for me to grow and be a better human.

    "Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones."

    - Thich Nhat Hanh


    Fear grips us in strange ways and keeps us locked in a dense, lower vibrational state ... like everything else, this also changes when we begin to realize that our fears stem from our own created illusions of the egoic mind. When we stop reacting to the contents of our own rational thinking mind which keeps us in a perpetual thinking state, we break free from the illusions of our own creation, and start being more accepting of what comes forth in the here and now, without trying to change anything about it. Accepting the lessons life has to offer brings a great deal of freedom and we realize our life purpose on Earth school which has to do with furthering our own spiritual growth while being a guiding beacon of light allowing others to be the best version of themselves. Judging another path is the way of the ego which always seeks to be right.

    Labels such as Lightworker, Empath, Indigo, Starseed may help us identify ourselves in some way with respect to our origins and past lives, but should not create a false sense of superiority over others who are yet to see the light and awaken to their true spiritual nature and use the gifts they were born with. Allowing each others journeys to unfold as they have to is the best we can do at times ... without the need to control others choices and deciding whats best for them. By accepting the darkness for what it is and letting it go we heal it ... by fighting it, we create more of it.

    The lessons will be repeated until they have been mastered and transcended .... All we have to do is be the light .... follow our path ... love all unconditionally foregoing the need to judge anyone or anything. Recognize that love is what has the power to transform ... and our own inner transformation is what brings about a positive change into the world. We are way more powerful when we are awake and united as one consciousness as opposed to being divided by our false thoughts and belief systems. The world is changing and it is changing with each of us making better choices and being mindful of what allow into our sacred space.


    Here is a brilliant article from Tiffany Stiles on being limitless by becoming fearless in our lives ....

    Once you become FEARLESS, you become LIMITLESS!

    The only limits that hold you from progressing forward are the ones you have placed upon yourself, from childhood programming of parents, school, and society as a whole. You have been programmed how to behave, what you can and cannot say, how you should dress, look, speak. You have been programmed that if you step outside of that box, you will be “labeled” different, freakish, not normal, crazy! It is all just that, A PROGRAM to keep you locked into a BOX! The very minute you decide step outside of that box you are free! You no longer care what anyone thinks and you no longer need the approval of anyone else. You have begun to step into the authentic self you are and you will present that self to the world fearlessly and unapologetically. You did not come here to experience this life with limitations, you came here to experience all of it in its glory, its messiness, its ugliness and its most beautiful and happiest, peacefulness. You are a human having a soul experience. You chose to come here to experience emotions, ALL of them. In higher realms in the Light body there is but only one emotion to experience and that is of unconditional love. In order for your soul to evolve and progress to higher levels, this could only occur through karmic lessons, patterns, painful life lessons and challenges. Through these experiences is where you grow, and your soul evolves. Only in and through the most painful experiences does a soul learn compassion, self love and unconditional love. Through this comes a yearning and a calling of how to show to others this way and to help others out of their own pain and move through the other side of it with a renewed sense of self perseverance and strength you never knew possible. We are all here walking each other home. We are one! There is no division, that is also a program. We are all mirrors to one another for the purpose of lessons. You have learned what you do to another, you do the same to yourself. This is karma.

    For thousands of years this planet has been kept in a prison of a very low vibration and a very dense 3D reality for many different reasons, but the main one was to keep humans from releasing karmic patterns and stay on the wheel of reincarnation for the purpose of control and fear to provide a service. Through manipulation of DNA and evolution we have now progressed to this level. The level of truth and knowing. Only 3% of our DNA was activated at that time, just enough to survive, but on an extremely limited basis. The other 97% spliced to remain dormant. This is how control has been maintained for 26,000 years, UNTIL NOW! Now with the realigning of the photon belt, the milky way, the planets, the extreme solar flare activity and the lunar events that have taken place starting in 2011, our total DNA is being reactivated at 100% capacity. When this happens it begins firing up each chakra energy center in the body one by one until all are firing in a wide spinning circle in unison with one another. You then reach a higher connection to your higher consciousness and experience the “Dark Night of the Soul.” Your ego falls away through this process, and your kundalini energy that has been coiled at the base of your spine begins to rise through each one of your chakra centers completing your 12 strands of DNA. At this time you are fully activated! You are FEARLESS and you are limitless energy flowing from Divine Source to the core of mother earth. You become a crystalline light body and the embodiment of that Light frequency of unconditional love. The more you allow this energy to move through you, the easier it is for you to integrate with it. As you do, your Light shines so brightly that you will show others out of the Darkness.

    This is why you came here now, in this lifetime. The number sequences, the symbols, the downloads of information, the increase in vibrational frequency, your gifts expanding is all happening right on course. You trained and prepared yourself for this many lifetimes over. You are not ill equipped. Everything you need to know lies within attached to your higher consciousness and Divine Source. Jesus was an example of this to show us the way and he did, and the returning of Jesus IS the embodiment of Christ Consciousness within YOURSELF! This is the returning of Jesus through each and everyone one of us who completes this process. As each one does the Divine template of Earth returns lifted from the 3D density of control and fear and raises to 5D and higher realms of consciousness UNIFIED AT THE COLLECTIVE LEVEL. WHEN YOU BECOME FEARLESS, YOU BECOME LIMITLESS.

    You are remembering this universal truth now. You are remembering the Laws of the Universe. You are remembering you are the co-creator of your present and future reality. You are remembering that your thoughts, words and actions are what creates your reality. You are remembering that in order for you to continue progressing you must release the old, lower vibrational emotions to make room for the new higher vibrational frequencies that are coming into your body now. You are remembering that your health is mind, body and spirit connected and your total body health remains in your emotional well-being being attached at each chakra level. You are remembering from a specific triggering event that you must begin seeking the truth for any of this process to begin to unfold. Through this, you are remembering that you need to keep yourself aware of current global events, but you do not allow them to control or take over your emotions. You don’t feed any into any negative, worldly events, because if you do you are feeding that energy into it to propel it further. You are remembering to only keep your vibration high, and to remain positive even in the face of adversity for this is what will create a positive outcome for your reality to rapidly manifest. Through this knowing you will become FEARLESS and you will become LIMITLESS! For when you become LIMITLESS energy you flow with the Universe and the Universe flows with you. Synchronicity is abundant and will be a daily part of your life leaving little bread crumbs for you to follow on your Divine path. You have full access to the higher realms of consciousness and inter-dimensional reality as you are an inter-dimensional being. Your Spirit Guides, Ascended Masters, Archangels and Guardian Angels are here to assist you through this process. Call on them and they are here in the blink of your eye.

    Love, light & blessings on your continued journey.

    On a spiritual path, some of us are often confronted by difficult experiences which seek to awaken the warrior spirit within us. A peaceful warrior who stands up for a cause which affects more than oneself and acts from a place of awareness of the true self. According to the Random House Dictionary, the term "warrior" has two meanings. The first refers to "a man engaged or experienced in warfare." The second refers to "a person who shows or has shown great vigor, courage, or aggressiveness, as in politics or athletics." The term "warrior" is often associated with images of power, confidence, accomplishment, integrity, chivalry, honor and integrity.

    Given the darker, survival driven side of human nature, it has and still is common practice for some individuals, tribes, cultures, corporations and nations to use raiding, theft, looting and plunder as a means of gaining wealth, power or even survival. It is also intrinsically true that those from whom they take do not give voluntarily. Thus, some cultures have a warrior class that act as raiders while others have a warrior class that acts as defenders or protectors. In fact, the warrior class often serves both roles, sort of like taking turns. It may, in some cases, even become a sport of sorts even developing an ad-hoc set of rules. Regardless, the strongest and boldest warriors are generally admired and enjoy an assortment of privileges within their own group.

    In our culture we think of medieval knights as generally being honorable and noble (except for the black knight, of course). The truth is somewhat less romantic.

    "We have ravaged women, burned houses, slain children, exacted ransom from everyone, eaten their cows, oxen, sheep, stolen their geese, pigs, capons, drunk their wines, violated churches……..For God's sake, let us march on the pagans!" -- Bertrand Du Guesclin- Legendary Fourteenth Century Knight

    Regardless of the moral or political correctness of a warrior; all warriors have a few basic things in common:

    They are disciplined, both internally and externally. Without discipline, they could not stay alive long enough to call themselves a warrior.

    They develop mental focus. No one can develop essential skills of dealing with life, protecting one's self or facing a foreboding opponent with an unfocused mind.

    They develop an attitude of persistence. They have to face difficulty, pain, discomfort, discouragement, fear and the prospect of failure and utter doom without quitting. All struggle and conflict is settled in the mind before it reaches a physical resolution. If their resolve wavers, failure and defeat are certain.

    They train. Imagine that you found yourself in a gunfight and to your surprise, the clips in your gear don't fit your gun. Do you say, "Uh.. Excuse me! .. Uh.. Can we have a time out? I brought the wrong bullets!" Or, imagine that you are facing a warrior with steel in his eyes and his sword coming your way. Do you pause and think, "Uh.. let's see … which hand do I hold the sword in … and … uh … which end of the shield is up?" If you don't train, you don't develop the skills that you need to survive … and you die!

    All of these traits apply to the Spiritual warrior as well … and for the same reason.



    There is a difference between a warrior and a soldier. A soldier is trained to follow orders, to respect authority, and to subjugate their individual thinking process and will to the command hierarchy. A warrior, in contrast, is more autonomous and independent. A warrior engages in battle out of personal choice rather than because of obedience to orders. A warrior is capable of making moral judgments and acting accordingly. A warrior is flexible and adaptable; able to act independently as well as be a team player. A warrior takes responsibility for his or her choices and actions. A warrior is a person of compassion who understands pain and the consequences of action. A warrior understands the horror of war and does not seek it. A warrior understands that glory is only for fools who bask in their own illusions. A warrior, however, when engaged in a righteous cause, fights with such skill, passion, intensity, and brilliance that victory is assured.

    Victory and defeat are a matter of Spirit more than of body. One is never defeated as long as his Spirit is not defeated or broken. When a warrior falls in battle without surrendering or giving up, his Spirit grows stronger. When a warrior survives the battle without surrendering or giving up, his Spirit grows stronger. Of course, most warriors prefer surviving.

    War is a terrible wasteful folly in which there are no true winners. War brings out the best and worst in all of the players. The only ones who can be said to be winners are those who have strengthened their Spirits by overcoming adversity through will, sacrifice, and self awareness. Those who find courage in the face of extreme danger can be said to be winners. Those who face impossible situations and survive through the supreme application of will, keen focus, and Divine inspiration can be said to be winners.

    Many are damaged by trauma. They lose parts of themselves by compromising their principles and morals or by facing situations too terrible to be acceptable or through fear. War is very messy and often morally ambiguous. The winners and the damaged often turn out to be the same people. A few rare individuals, through training, accomplishment and enlightenment develop the inner strength to face danger and horror without becoming damaged, cynical or crazy. These few have earned the right to be called warriors.

    The term "Spiritual warrior" has been used in a variety of contexts and has been adopted by a variety of individuals who may not share a common understanding of the term. In general, a "Spiritual warrior" is someone who embraces the more noble personal attributes and strengths associated with warriors in general. In general, a "Spiritual warrior" is someone who masters him or herself, and overcomes personal desire, moral issues, and all weaknesses of character. In general, a "Spiritual warrior" is someone who embraces a journey of self discovery in order to benefit others as well as enlighten him or herself.

    Some martial arts traditions maintain a system of ethics and honor and pursue a path of self mastery. Others emphasize combat, competition and fighting. Being a fighter does not make one a Spiritual warrior.

    Some military organizations have a creed of honor and service as their core guiding principles. In the fog of actual warfare these may become lost, ignored or forgotten. Being a soldier does not make one a Spiritual warrior.

    Being a Spiritual warrior has nothing to do with physical battle, making war, fighting or being mean and tough. The battle of the Spiritual warrior is the mastery of one's self.

    Being a "Spiritual warrior" means a life commitment. It means the embrace of discipline, study and long intense training sometimes at the sacrifice of comfort and convenience. Being a Spiritual warrior also means understanding your principles and not compromising them. It is easier said than done.

    Awareness of the Spiritual Warrior

    The first and most vital tool of the spiritual warrior is awareness. It is easy to we think we are aware, but pure awareness has no thinking involved. It has no thinking because it has no interpretation. Awareness is to perceive with clarity the truth of what is happening without interpretation or opinion. In a moment of awareness the dialogue in the mind stops. We are “seeing” from a point or view separate from the reasoning part of our mind. This could be described as an epiphany. Practiced seer’s live in this awareness in every moment.

    Awareness is essential because it is the state of consciousness that allows us to discern between the facts and the Truth, and between the story and the lies in our mind. The realm of our mind is filled with false perceptions and false beliefs. While the mind can be very clever with stories and lies, it is the consciousness of awareness that is the discerning intelligence. We may use very intelligent reasoning to make a decision that is not good for ourselves. Only to look at it in hindsight and realize that we discounted indicators that told us otherwise. This can be done in something as simple as a stock investment. The mind is clever, but it is also full of assumptions and limited paradigms of perception. Conscious awareness allows us to see clearly instead of be blinded by these false belief paradigms.

    Self awareness is the clarity to know who and what you are, and not get caught up in self important images of ourselves. These self important images in our mind distort our sense of who we are. False images can lead us to low self esteem and self confidence, or they can take us into being self centered. If you have an idea of who you are, then consider that you are not that idea in your mind. You are the one creating the idea, and observing it. Self awareness that you are not any of those images in your mind is essential to becoming free of self importance.

    Courage of the Spiritual Warrior

    The courage that makes for a good soldier also makes for a good Spiritual Warrior, but the intent becomes completely different. A soldier has courage to face a challenge that may bring physical harm. The Spiritual warrior has the courage to question challenge his or her own beliefs. By challenging our own beliefs we can dissolve the lies that cause our suffering. To challenge our own beliefs requires courage because it means the end of our illusion of safety. When other people challenge our own beliefs we are usually quick to defend. We defend them even if they cause us to suffer. As a warrior we learn not to defend what we believe, and then to challenge those very beliefs ourselves. In this way we are able to sort out the truth from illusions.

    Discipline of the Spiritual Warrior

    A soldier has discipline to follow orders and continues on when faced with challenges. The Spiritual Warrior’s discipline to continue on with their path when faced with challenges from their mind. It is easier to follow orders as a soldier, because we are threatened with consequences and rewarded to motivate us. This is in line with our years of conditioning. A warrior must have the discipline to practice deal with their own mind without someone else providing the motivation with carrots or sticks. A warrior must exercise their own will at the command of their heart, not an outside authority figure. This often means going against the fearful opinions in our mind that tempt us with illusions of punishment and rewards. We must also have the discipline to follow our own heart even when tempted by another person’s opinion. This way of living requires disciplined practice.

    The Love of the Spiritual Warrior

    A soldier has a commitment to love his/her country. The Spiritual warrior must have the commitment to love him/her self. The warrior then extends that love to humanity. The commitment is required because in our journey we will certainly fumble and fall many times. It is in having a strong commitment that we get back up again. It is common to fall to judgment. It can be easy to love some people, particularly the people that like us or treat us well. However, it requires a tremendous commitment to love in the face of those that reject us. This commitment will cause us to challenge our beliefs about our judgments and not being compassionate. We must be committed to love beyond our own self-serving interests of what it will bring us. This is how we will become happy beyond our current paradigm of beliefs. In time we become committed to love for the sheer enjoyment of expressing love. This becomes our commitment. We nourish ourselves with the love we express. A warrior acts in this committed way, even when challenged.


    Only as a [spiritual] warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges. The basic difference between an ordinary man and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary man takes everything as a blessing or a curse.” - Don Juan

    Here, I’d like to talk about the sacred Self; the soul Self; the Atman; whatever you want to call the omnipotent consciousness that exists within, which we can embrace once we know a little bit about it.

    The sacred Self (or simply the ‘Self’) is an aspect of Source, and we’ll have to transcend the influence of the ego if we want to open up to it.

    The ego, which is a program of the otherwise benevolent mind, will keep us from discovering and embracing the Self if we allow it, and given that we have a lot of work to do to change the defunct manner in which our planet’s run, transcending the ego is among the best things we can do for ourselves and the people around us.

    The rest of the world will benefit when we can move beyond the ego and into a place of pure, blissful submergence in the Self, and as consciousness continues to rise, more people will become aware of spirit and the necessity to embrace the infinite Self over the finite, ego-driven self we’ve become accustomed to.

    I think it’s important for those of us who’ve become aware to continuously transcend the ego’s influence and put ourselves in a loving, heart-centered space where we can connect with the Self, and until we do, the collective vibration will remain low.

    The work we do to bring ourselves and our planet into the light is important, and opening up to the Self will help us with our quest to enlighten ourselves and, eventually, everyone else who’s ready for enlightenment.

    Master Lin-Chi describes the Self.

    “’Spread it out and it fills the whole Dharma-realm, gather it up and it’s tinier than a thread of hair.’ Its lone brightness gleaming forth, it has never lacked anything. ‘The eye doesn’t see it, the ear doesn’t hear it.’ What shall we call this thing? … You’ll just have to see it for yourselves. What other way is there?”

    The Self is basically unperceivable with the physical senses, and it exists within, waiting for us to pick up on its existence. We’ll have to transcend our sense-based perception if we want to perceive the Self, and this goes hand-in-hand with transcending the ego and opening up to Source.

    Only when our perception is focused on the spiritual realms will we perceive the Self, and things will flow like never before when we can do this. Our creativity will definitely be sharper, because the Self is nothing if not creative.

    I’m reminded of a story about a man who raised his Kundalini to his crown and experienced enlightenment. The experience was so intense that he basically descended into madness for a great number of years before emerging from it to find the greatest spiritual perception he could hope to have.

    His creativity flowed, and our creativity can flow in a similar way if we make an effort to perceive the Self.

    The more we search for the sacred Self, Lin Chi tells us, the further we distance ourselves from it.

    “Right now, all this dashing and searching you’re doing — do you know what it is you’re looking for? It is vibrantly alive, yet has no root or stem.

    “You can’t gather it up, you can’t scatter it to the winds. The more you search for it the farther away it gets. But don’t search for it and it’s right before your eyes, its miraculous sound always in your ears. But if you don’t have faith, you’ll spend your hundred years in wasted labor.”

    However difficult the sacred Self might be to perceive, it exists within and waits to be picked up on so we can enjoy the perceptual bounties that result. This extended and advanced facet of our consciousness has a lot to offer us, because it essentially is us in a higher form.

    The Atman (or the Self) is the revealer of all things, Shankara tells us.

    “The Atman is the witness, infinite consciousness, revealer of all things but distinct from all… whether they be gross or subtle.

    “It is the eternal reality, omnipresent, all-pervading, the subtlest of subtleties. It has neither inside nor outside. It is the real I, hidden in the shrine of the heart. Realize fully the truth of the Atman. Be free from evil and impurity, and you shall pass beyond death.”

    The Self will seem too far away for us to grasp if we feed into vanity, materialism or anything else that keeps us from exploring our spirituality. If we can open up to the Self by transcending any limiting or distracting qualities, however, it’ll seem closer than ever because, in a sense, it will be.

    We draw closer to the Self every time we refuse to feed the cultural tendencies that distract us, and when we successfully lighten our vibration, we’ll see how important it was to refrain from choosing vanity over spirituality.

    For every lower quality, there’s a higher quality to match it, so let’s embrace the higher qualities inherent in everything around us instead of continuing to live below our potential by knowingly feeding qualities that hold us back. Even though walking tends to be easier, we’re on this planet to fly.

    Shankara also encourages us to embrace the transcendent nature of the Self.

    “Meditate upon the truth that the Atman is ‘neither gross nor subtle, neither short nor tall’, that it is self-existent, free as the sky, beyond the grasp of thought.”

    The Self isn’t limited by the qualities that inhibit us here on earth, and instead, it’s free to move around as it pleases. It’s liberated from every lower-vibrational quality that holds us back, and we have to put ourselves on the same level if we want to align with it.

    We have to embrace the qualities that help the Self thrive if we want to access it, and we’ll be glad we employed whatever disciplines were necessary for us to connect with it. We’ll see how much this connection strengthened our creativity and our general spiritual perception, and after getting a taste of the perceptions of the Self, we’ll never want to go back.

    In our final quote, Ibn Arabi tells us that the sacred Self encompasses everything in existence.

    “The Qualified Total Spirit [is] the Vice-regent. It has no bodily shape and it is not even outside this universe and its heavens, but it encompasses all existence and therein it is present and in control. In relation to it, the highest top and the bottom of the bottom are the same.

    “It is present in every one of those degrees. … It cannot be parcelled out or partitioned. If the skies fell in and the earth shattered, nothing would happen to it.”

    Given that we’re all aspects of Source’s omnipotent consciousness, it makes sense that the Self essentially is the Source of existence; our creator in a different form. I think this makes connecting with the Self even more desirable, and in time, I’m sure everyone will realize it exists and connect with it.

    We can then take it upon ourselves to address and heal everything about this planet that keeps us from thriving, and we’ll do it with the strength and support of the Self, which we’ll all have connected with.

    Connecting with the Self might not be easy, but we’ll be glad we made an effort when our minds and hearts are open and we’re awash in ecstatic bliss.

    When we can make this connection, we’ll see that we’re never left alone to deal with the pains and stresses that come with living on earth. A lot of teachers have used their connection to show the way for others, and we can connect with our Self just like they’ve connected with theirs.

    I think more people will make this connection in due time, but for now, those of us who are starting to make it can raise awareness of its benefits. This is one of the reasons we’re here, and the more people who connect with the Self, the more people who’ll be motivated to share their discoveries with the rest of the world.

    While on Earth, there are many lessons in the form of various experiences for souls to learn from and gradually evolve. There are many lies in our world about our true history and what it is to be human on this planet. We have been stripped off our divinity enslaved by the so called rulers who invaded Earth many thousands of years ago and still continue to feed off all the negativity emanating from the planet. And there is ample food for them if we continue to live in the lower vibrations ... We get easily trapped within the matrix unable to see the extent of mind control and manipulation through the senses. Our minds are constantly on with something and we block our connection to source energy, blocking other Chakras or Energy Centers with issues we may have left unresolved. We don't know this but we really are creating our lives journeys and experiences ... and there comes a time when we may find ourselves not being able to connect with the people we once hung out with because we now have different world views and find it hard to go back to how things were, once we become conscious of our actions. Each one of us here is alone and on a unique journey. We evolve by choice ...

    Here is a beautiful article by Barbara Max Hubbard, "Evolution by Choice, not Chance !"

    Evolution is evolving from unconscious chance to conscious choice. We are entering the first Age of Conscious Evolution. Why? Because we obviously affect our own evolution by all the choices we make—from the food we eat, the number of babies we have, the cars we drive, and the weapons we build.

    Humans have no experience at being responsible for global change at this level. We are facing the possibility of the collapse of our life-support system, or, I believe, the emergence of something new, something better than we have ever known before. This shift in evolution began overtly in 1945 when the United States dropped the first atomic bombs on Japan. The signal went out to the world: We now have the power to destroy life on Earth. I was fifteen years old.

    I could see at that time that self-conscious humans, in top-down competitive structures such as nation states, organized religion, and global corporations, could not handle this degree of power. We had suddenly gained capacities we used to attribute to our gods. We can blow up worlds, and we can build new worlds in space. We can travel with the speed of light by image; we can create new life forms or destroy our life; we can tap into immense energy or run out of energy.

    I began to ask a great question: What is the meaning of our new powers in science and technology that are good and what are positive images of the future that are equal to our new powers?

    I read religion and philosophy as a young girl and found that no one knew the answer. The powers were so new. I went to Bryn Mawr College and found I could not even ask the question there. There were no subjects on it. My father used to say to me, “Barbara, you are the best in the field…but there is no field!”

    I went to Paris in 1947 to study at the Ecole des Sciences Politiques. Despair and a sense of the absurdity of life were rampant in Paris after two world wars and the bomb. One day I was having lunch on the Left Bank, and a handsome American walked in and sat down next to me. I asked him my question: “What do you think is the meaning of this new power that is good?” He responded, “I am an artist, and I am seeking a new image of man commensurate with our powers to shape the future.”

    The idea crossed my mind, “I’m going to marry you!” And I did. He told me that when a culture loses its story and its image of the future, it declines. We had clearly lost our story of progress, and the image of humans now portrayed in the arts and theater was of a disintegrating destructive force. Yet I had innate hope and had to find out what I was hopeful about.

    I went to see President Eisenhower in 1952, just after he became president. My father was an old colleague of the President. I was taken into the Oval Office. He greeted me kindly: “What can I do for you, young lady?” “Mr. President,” I said, “I have a question: What do you think is the meaning of all our new power that is good?” He looked startled, shook his head and said, “I have no idea.”

    So it flashed in my mind, “Well, we better find out!” This has been my life quest, and I believe that just now we are discovering the proper response.

    We do have a new story. It is the Universe Story. When we place ourselves IN this 13.7 billion-year universe story, we discover the pattern and an evolutionary process of action that we CAN DO.

    We see that our crises are comparable to past evolutionary shift points. The only difference is now we are conscious that we are causing our own extinction. This is what I call “conscious evolution”—the greatest wake-up call we have ever had for the human species to grow up!

    Here are some lessons we can learn and apply to our own situation. Problems are evolutionary drivers.

    Crises Precede Transformation

    Evolution takes jumps through greater synergy: separate parts coming together to form a new whole greater than and different from the sum of its parts.

    Evolution creates radical newness. Once there was no Earth, then Earth appeared. Once there was no life, and life appeared.

    Evolution raises consciousness and freedom through more complex order. According to Teilhard de Chardin, the great philosopher, the “noosphere,” the mind sphere or the thinking layer of Earth, with all our Internet and global intelligence, is about “to get its collective eyes.” We are about to connect center with center and heart with heart.

    Empathy is rising. Spirituality is growing. Healings are happening. The Internet is connecting us everywhere. A “Wheel of Co-creation” is forming in every field and function: innovations in health, education, energy, conscious business, and environmental awareness are accelerating and beginning to connect—a whole system breakthrough out of the whole system breakdown.

    We need one more conscious effort to connect the positive to make the shift in time—to midwife our own birth toward the next stage of our evolution. We may be one fraction of an evolutionary second from either connecting what is creative and loving and innovative, or devolution and extinction. This situation is dangerous…yet natural.

    What do we need to do right now?

    I believe it is time to rapidly connect what is working in every field and function and communicate through all media as fast as we can our creativity, innovations, and capacities to make it through together. We should be calling upon each other—everyone on Earth—to know that they have a part in this “birth.” Each of us is given an impulse of evolution within, a heart’s desire to realize our greater potential. Wherever we are, whatever our situation, we are capable of “giving a gift to the shift,” from one phase of evolution to the next.

    Just in case you missed it, our world is in transition and its visible in the world wide protests happening against the corrupt power structures we call our 'Governments'. The whole system was quite cleverly designed to keep the masses enslaved under a limiting paradigm of fear and separation. However, with more people awakening to their true spiritual nature and recognizing the deep connection we have with all that is, the inner revolution has begun in the hearts and minds of billions of awakened souls all over the world, which is now beginning to show in our external world. Some of us erroneously believe that somehow, we are not affected by this mounting chaos in our world and would like to continue with the illusions of our business as usual. But the truth, is emerging ... and it is revealing many hidden secrets to humanity.

    Here is some media footage of the global protests that have been happening the last couple of years and gaining momentum real quickly, bringing down corrupt bankers and governments, Iceland being an excellent example of how it is done when we all come together and take our power back. Egypt too has shown the world the collective power of the people in achieving common goals which benefit us all, and not just a chosen few !




    A powerful video of a US Marine, Sgt. Shamar Thomas yelling at 30 odd Cops about how wrong it is for them to assault harmless, unarmed protesters.





    Another brilliant example of how it is done ... Egypt Protests June 2013 ... backed by their Army ! WOW !!!





    The Brazil Protests




    The Turkey Protests

    'Ethos' is a brilliant eye opening documentary presented by twice Oscar nominated actor Woody Harrelson which exposes the corrupt political system and the military industrial complex which controls the government in the U.S.

    Ethos looks at the systemic issues that work against democracy, the environment, justice and our own personal liberty. However, it is not all bad news. Ethos offers a solution.

    A simple but powerful way that you can have your voices heard as they have never been heard before. Watch the film, spread the word, change the world.




    Taking Action

    FROM PETE MCGRAIN, writer/director of Ethos.

    Most of us have got into the habit of voting once every few years and expecting our elected officials to take care of us. In this way we have ‘opted out’ of the process and while we are opted out abuse creeps in. It is clear that just voting once every few years is not working.

    In a very real sense you and I are responsible for everything that is wrong with our system and our planet: When we consume our resources recklessly it is you and I that cause the pollution, waste and destruction of our planet; Our consumer demand drives corporations to abuse other nations, stealing their resources to sell them to us, making them ‘dollar’ dependent, sending our waste to their countries for disposal, encouraging child labor, even causing war.

    The profits abusive companies make from the money we give them ‘empowers’ them. With the profits from ‘our’ money they have weakened our democracy. They have the power to put ‘their men’ in a position to regulate ‘themselves’.

    Our governments, in a very real sense, are now run by multinational businessmen. The business men now own all of the mainstream media so our information is tainted. This has all happened while we were all opted out.
    Yes, each and every one of us shares the blame. However, because it is our behavior that has caused this mess, our behavior can fix it.

    The most important message of this film is about you and I taking responsibility, learning the facts about what is happening in our world and then acting accordingly. Your consumer choices are the most easily available and powerful way for you to get active. Do not underestimate the power you have right in your hands. No company can continue a practice or a product that you will not buy! This is vitally important information and if you can understand this we are on our way to an incredible new future. But keep in mind, spending less is the primary objective. Having more money does not give you more power if the objective is to spend less.

    We have to find alternative sources for news and information that can give us a clearer picture of our world. You will soon find many links on these pages. The terms ‘left and right’ are used to divide us, we have to stop using divisive terms and thinking and find ways to unify around goals that can sustain us.

    Listen to all of the information you can before you make a decision. Importantly, examine the things ‘you’ think to see if they can really move us all forward together. And then, take full responsibility for the outcome of your actions.

    Our bad consumer choices are killing everything that is good. Our wise consumer choices can re shape our corporatocracy. Buying from socially responsible companies will empower good business.

    The minute you change your behavior everything else changes. Our consumer behavior is monitored very closely. As soon as you change the way you consume it will be noticed immediately. And, once you have started taking responsibility, getting more than one side of a story instead of just listening to the mainstream media, it becomes very difficult to fool you. Everything will change.

    NOTE: People have written and asked me to provide a list of bad companies here on the website. I can understand how much easier that would make it for some people but, what would happen if this site was taken down? This is all about ‘we the people’ getting involved, finding out the facts and taking responsibility. We are adults and we have to recognize it is up to us individually to get good information. I cannot be the arbiter, I am not wise enough for that position. But, millions of engaged individuals cannot be stopped. It is not difficult to Google green products or alternative news sources and a whole lot easier than our future could be unless we get involved. We will place links here but get active now. Start looking for alternative news sources and tell us about them.

    THE REVOLUTION! (or Evolution) So many people write into the website asking what they can do now, today, to make a difference. They want a solution, something they can get active with this instant. I understand the frustration that drives that passion and it is wonderful how many people are waking up to the idea that there really is something wrong.

    But, I also sense that they, like me when I was a little younger, want a revolution in the old sense of the term: riots in the streets, heroic deeds that their children would sing songs about in years to come, etc. While it sounds like everyone could work out their frustrations, the problem is, that approach doesn’t work, in fact it has never worked, ever.

    Generally what happens is the powers that be send in the troops, round up and shoot the leaders and then slacken the chain a little to pacify the crowd and then everything goes on pretty much the way it was. Look at the history books. Change happens very slowly and painfully via this route.

    We need the rich and powerful too, to wake up to the startling catastrophe that is happening to our planet and our societies. We are all in this together and the sooner we all realize that then the easier it will be to make change.

    So, do you want a bloody revolution or do you want something that works? Something that brings long lasting sustainable change, something that can bring peace and justice to us all, permanently?

    Sustainable change can only happen when ‘each individual’ changes their behavior. In this silent revolution there are no leaders that can be shot or sell out the movement and no system can wage war on the private law abiding behavior of every citizen.

    If you decide to purchase from a sustainable manufacturer you cannot be arrested. If you decide to ride a bicycle instead of driving the car to work you are free to do so. If you expand your knowledge by seeking out alternative news sources no one notices. But what does happen is that you become ‘an engaged responsible individual’, and when our society is made up of engaged responsible individuals everything changes.

    Engaged responsible individuals do not just believe what they are told ‘by anyone’. They seek out information from every source and base their opinions and decisions on that. They do not follow the crowd like sheep and they take full responsibility for their actions. No ‘system’ can abuse a nation of such people.

    Below are some very simple guide lines placed here as examples, but you must think these things through for your self and find your own ways. Though they may seem quite simplistic the cumulative effects of just these simple actions will have a massive and far reaching effect.

    If you start acting on them today the world will have changed by tomorrow. If we all start making these changes then we are headed toward an incredible future, but each of us must start individually, that is what it takes.

    We will add to and update these pages regularly and we always welcome your questions or suggestions. There are links (coming) to some great resources at the bottom of this page but keep in mind as long as you can read and you have Google you can always find out anything.

    STOP BUYING STUFF! You already have enough stuff. The advertising man will try and tempt you to buy more. Stop it, do not listen. The manufacturing involved in making ‘stuff’ causes ‘all’ of the pollution on our planet. If you buy stuff you don’t need then you are the cause of ‘all’ of the pollution.

    Only buy things you really need and plan on making the things you buy last a long time. When you do make purchases only buy from companies that do business in a socially and environmentally responsible way. Patagonia, for example do their very best to make their clothes without doing damage to the planet. It is easy to find good companies and when you buy from them you are supporting good practices. Bad companies will have to change to meet the new demand, they will have no choice.

    STOP USING CHEMICALS There are so many products that are safe for the environment. Some cleaning jobs will require a little scrubbing. Do it. They have found trace elements of bleach at the top of Mount Everest. Fish from the sea are contaminated with it, everything you flush away comes back to haunt you. You can change our world today just by not flushing poison down the toilet. How simple is that. We are going to place links here to help you find green products but get Googling, it is easy.

    THE MEDIA (getting information) Question: Do you have an opinion about a woman's right to choose? Do you have an opinion about gay rights to marry? The chances are that you do have an opinion about these issues, because the media, left and right wing media, have brought these issues to your attention. Now, one more question: Do you have an opinion about multinational arms companies laundering money through Columbia? No? Not many people have an opinion about this issue because the media, left and right wing media, have not brought it up. This is how the media frames the debate.

    They tell us what to think about ‘the issues they bring up. If you are honest you will agree that you get most of your information from the media. You use this information to form your opinions. Too often ‘our’ opinions are really ‘someone else’s opinions.’ So, you must find alternative sources for your information. There are some very important things going on in the world and so much of what we think of as left and right wing media isn’t bringing everything you need to know to your attention. One last point. The media is almost all owned by massive international corporations. There is no such thing as a liberal media corporation. That said, you must stop thinking in terms of left and right wing politics. These terms are used to divide us. What we need is original thinking that can unify us as we move forward.

    POLITICS ‘Every’ Politician takes money from big companies to get elected. In fact, most politicians are big business. That means they have an inherent ‘conflict of interests’. They will not legislate against a bad company that pollutes, for example, if they have taken their money to get elected.

    What ever your politics you cannot wait for the government to fix things for you. We will get politicians that serve the peoples interests when the people take responsibility and then act. Once you start taking responsibility, finding out the facts, and then acting accordingly, once you are a properly engaged member of our society it will much more difficult for any politician to pull the wool over your eyes or make false promises.

    Watch what they do-not what they say. The media treats the political debates in much the same way as they do sports highlights. It has become a meaningless game. Politicians have never changed anything, ever. Only the people create change.

    FOOD Often this conversation begins with a discussion about Organic foods, but that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of this vitally important subject.

    This is the stuff we put into our bodies, it is where we spend most of our money, and it drives the chemical and agricultural industries that have a massive effect not only on our environment, but our economies and our politics.

    Colorings and preservatives have long been cause for discussion but so too have become Genetically Modified products. GMO’S are not only a subject of serious environmental concern, we do not know the effects of these products in our environment, but also of great political concern as patent holders force local and third world farmers as a condition of IMF loans, to accept their products and bring massive law suits for patent infringements.

    Food is a serious issue. First concern should be for health. The food we have has less and less actual ‘food’, sustenance, vitamins, protein etc, and more and more chemicals used both in the food and it’s manufacture. This is more than alarming in heath and environmental terms. The prices of common foods are kept artificially low because of these practices and Organic foods, naturally seem more expensive by comparison.However, it is important to note, one organic banana, for example, has more actual ‘food’ in it than a Big Mac Meal and costs a fraction of the price.

    We have to start paying close attention to what we eat, reading labels and making healthier choices, but this is a very important point: manufactures monitor your purchases meticulously, they spend billions of dollars studying consumer behaviour. When we change our buying habits they will notice that trend in the market instantly and they will follow your demand. If you stop buying products that have chemicals in them they will have no choice but to take them out. This is where we spend most of our money, if we change the way we spend that money the effect will be massive. There are two great food documentaries, FOOD INC and FORKS OVER KNIVES you have to see them. I will provide the link asap.

    ENDING THE WARS I am going to give you a quick example. General Electric is an arms manufacturer, they make weapons for war. They make light bulbs too! They have their hands in so many things. They also own NBC news channel. But lets stay with weapons for a minute.

    If you are a weapons manufacturer you make billions, BILLIONS, of dollars when ever there is a war. In fact if there is no war you make no money. So, what we have here is a company that is in a position to support a war, Iraq or Afghanistan for example, on it’s news channel, and then make BILLIONS of dollars if the war happens.

    Lets not get in to a discussion about the morality of this for a moment, or even question whether any war can be justified, lets just keep our eye on the ball. Should any company who makes weapons be in a position to sway public opinion in a way that benefits their bottom line? There is an obvious conflict of interests here, and a dangerous one and this conflict exists through out most of our industries and media.

    If you take a look at history you will find that ALL WARS are fought because one country wants the resources that another country has. Of course the reasons given are always about spreading democracy or defeating a terrible cruel regime, but you will notice that kind of war seldom happens in places that have no valuable assets!

    Regardless, it is very important that YOU UNDERSTAND THE PART YOU PLAY IN CAUSING WARS. When you buy stuff, oil for example, you are buying the stuff that was taken from another country so it could be sold to YOU.

    YOUR CONSUMER DEMAND DRIVES WAR! AND CAUSES POLLUTION! CAN YOU SEE THE RESPONSIBILITY YOU HAVE. Yes, there are many systemic issues and mechanisms that work against us, and we can if we wish point the finger at arms dealers but unless we all start to recognize the part WE play then nothing will change.

    On a brighter note, you probably won’t find any companies that do business in a socially responsible way that are connected to the arms industry. If you decide to buy your light bulbs form a company that is socially responsible, instead of General Electric, for example, you are turning the tide.

    Once you find independent sources of information you will know better what to think and how to act. Your active engagement, learning the facts and then acting accordingly will end the wars. Once you understand that the information the news media gives you has to be vetted thoroughly, once you understand that there are conflicts of interest that you have to be aware of then you will be wiser. Once you understand why wars happen you will not, nor will you allow any one you know, to join the armed forces or work for an arms dealer.

    If you support the troupes-bring them home.

    A NOTE ON BOYCOTTS AND THE ECONOMY To boycott a company is to decide not to buy there stuff because you don’t like their practices. This is not something that should be taken lightly and you should always be fully aware of all of the facts before you engage this tactic.

    So many companies deserve it but even bad companies provide much needed jobs. We should concentrate as much as we can on buying from companies who do business in a socially and environmentally responsible way. In this way we will grow those good companies, promoting the positive instead of protesting the negative and creating a transition period while demand creates change.

    If there are any products you can’t get from a good company the chances are you don’t really need that product. And for those products you have to buy, like gasoline, you have to drastically reduce your use of them. Again you can get plenty of advice and opinions if you click around. The point is to get engaged and start seriously changing our habits.

    The overall object is to consume far less. Yes, this will affect our consumer/capitalist economy. We have to find ways to change our monetary system and this is something we all have to explore together. I think we will look back in years to come and wonder how we ever set up such a brutal system. There are many new paths we can take, however, the path we are currently on defeats the public good in so many ways and is killing our environment. We need to change what we can, now.
