New Economy 2015: The Future of Capitalism

[SPECIAL REPORT: PART 1 OF 3]  2015 will be extremely challenging for those still mired in third dimensional economics, but for the rest of us, new opportunities abound everywhere we turn.

Just like we’ve always been the ones we’ve been waiting for, so too, are we the ones who will self-fund the new economy with our own capital, volunteerism and gifting.  This is incredibly good news as we step into our power as sovereign beings acting under our own authority in service of all humanity.

So that this good news doesn’t seem like more pie in the sky, let’s take a look back, and then move forward, to see a glimpse of what our future contains.  How you write your future is up to you, but as you will see, the power of a new economy has been quietly at work behind the scenes for a while in surprising ways, waiting for the appropriate time to come into the spotlight.

Excerpted from the Be the Change Grants Program Supplemental, “Creating a Trickle-Up Economy” written for the What Would Love Do Foundation

THE FUTURE OF CAPITALISM

New reports and studies continue to provide quantifiable data that capitalism is in trouble. Income inequality and the damage it inflicts is back in the news with the recent paper by The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), Trends in Income Inequality and its Impact on Economic Growth. OECD summarizes by stating, “Rising inequality is estimated to have knocked more than 10 percentage points off growth in Mexico and New Zealand over the past two decades up to the Great Recession. In Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States, the cumulative growth rate would have been six to nine percentage points higher had income disparities not widened…”

Though OECD cites that, “…the main mechanism through which inequality affects growth is by undermining education opportunities for children from poor socio-economic backgrounds, lowering social mobility and hampering skills development,” the root cause of inequality itself is an economic system that fails to deliver the equal opportunity it promises due to its own inherent limitations.

Outside of policy induced bubbles, for most people, capitalism is only slightly better than other economic systems and less so when met with its kryptonite. But, before we get to that, let’s examine capitalism’s beginnings.

CAPITALISM’S ROOTS

Capitalism flourished in the beginning largely due to and literally off the backs of slaves. The American South was reluctant to end slavery primarily due to economic reasons, but need not have worried as the economic forces of capitalism went to work with a national and global population explosion.

Currently, many countries are hitting peak population, in that fertility rates are below replacement level. Though this should be good news, it’s only good if consumption continues to rise. Growth is the key ingredient to the continued viability of capitalism as a premier economic system.  Capitalism’s kryptonite, stagnation, means capital is taken out of circulation to service debt and becomes concentrated in the hands of the few.

Let’s qualify the following by stating that to build a better world, it must be recognized that there is no singular panacea to handle all human needs except a gift economy, a concept too far-reaching for most of humanity. Regardless, a shift in how we do business is being called for. Are you up for the challenge?

The truth is capitalism does not benefit everyone to the extent it should. The reason capitalism is only a slightly better economic system, even when running at peak performance, is that profligate materialism comes at the expense of our planet.

We should not be poisoning our planet with material excess and the processes used to create it. Poverty levels should not exist and/or be rising to such levels in this stage of the game. Infrastructure and standards of living should not be in a state of decline. The last thirty years have proven that trickle-down economics mostly trickles down to a very few. So, what’s wrong?

CAPITALISM’S BI-POLAR NATURE

One of the three core elements of capitalism is competition. Capitalism is a limited bi-polar construct in that it requires a loser for every winner. This is the true trickle-down effect as a large portion of the working class struggles for basic housing and to put food on the table, aided and abetted by the watering down of capitalism as we outsource labor to non-capitalistic countries, becoming complicit in human rights violations by those willing to turn a blind eye.

Too many people, even in this country, are struggling for access to basic shelter, food, water, healthcare and higher education. Competition has wrought enough damage to each other and the planet, creating parasitic-type conditions that have made true innovation that could easily end man-made poverty extremely limited.

World peace will forever remain elusive as long as we battle to secure our own survival, blind to the realization that our neighbor’s well-being is vital to our own. As a species, we are interconnected and inseparable from each other and from our ecosystem. The greater truth that no mainstream economist has dared state publicly is that capitalism is not sustainable.

Instead of debating outdated economics, let us come together to forge a new path—one that is practical and truly provides equal opportunity for all, even those desiring to live a simple life. Capitalism served us well, but it’s become evident that working together cooperatively rather than in competition is the foundation for a new economy and peaceful world.

How about a trickle-up economy? Join us for part 2 of 3 for some great news for 2015!

A New Economy: The Future of Capitalism

[SPECIAL REPORT]  2015 will be extremely challenging for those still mired in third dimensional economics, but for the rest of us, new opportunities abound everywhere we turn.  Old Earth economic forces, and old beliefs that others will come to our rescue are fading away like the mirage that they were.

Just like we’ve always been the ones we’ve been waiting for, so too, are we the ones who will self-fund the new economy with our own capital, volunteerism, and gifting.  This is incredibly good news as we step into our power as sovereign beings acting under our own authority in service of all humanity.

Currently, many countries are hitting peak population, in that fertility rates are below replacement level. Though this should be good news, it’s only good if consumption continues to rise. Growth is the key ingredient to the continued viability of capitalism as a premier economic system.

Without growth, capitalism is rendered no more, and possibly less effective than socialism as the U.S continues to slip down global quality of life indexes. Capitalism’s kryptonite, stagnation, means capital is taken out of circulation to service debt and becomes concentrated in the hands of the few.

Capitalism served us well, but it’s become evident that working together cooperatively rather than in competition is the foundation for a new economy and peaceful world.

The OECD report concludes that, “Cash transfers and increasing access to public services, such as high-quality education, training and healthcare, are an essential social investment to create greater equality of opportunities in the long run.” And they are exactly right. Why? Because capital is put back into circulation. Notice how cutting social services and austerity measures have failed to alleviate capital shortages or generate growth.

If you wonder who is going to pay for a cash infusion and services, you are already paying for it, but so inefficiently that politicians and citizens alike are baulking at the idea even maintaining what we currently have in place—and rightly so.

Most present human activity, including capitalism, is entrenched in short-term gains rather than playing for the long run.   War is inefficient; debt-based economies are inefficient; even charitable organizations are not running at peak efficacy as we continue to band-aid the side effects of unsustainable economic activity, rather than addressing root causes.

TRICKLE-UP

Whatever economic system we embrace, it must include social agreements, social responsibility, and allow for conservation in equal if not greater measure as we plant the seeds of tomorrow. We are presently living the ongoing results of our failure to adequately address these essential elements.

A trickle-up economy is one that capitalizes from within. Trickle-up mirrors nature in that it supports the genius that exists all around us, rather than acting out predatorily. Genius or not, even a child can offer two ideas toward improving conditions in his or her hometown in about five minutes. So why don’t we all? Who starts the trickle? You do.

Trickle-up includes accepting responsibility for being the face of change in the world by supporting paradigms that serve all of humanity, starting locally. When we come together cooperatively, the cost to the individual is very small while the rewards are very large. i.e. Imagine if each of us volunteered just a few hours each month.

Trickle-up business models do exist, and not as a new form of socialism. Non-profit cooperatives (NPCs) such as food and banking NPCs, employee-owned businesses, private foundations, and charities are just a few examples. When you back a non-profit, your investment is returned to you in the form of reduced costs on products or services, and sometimes even in cash. That capital is then pumped directly back into the economy, improving everyone’s quality of life.

Other examples include crowd funding and open-sourcing. Both encourage transparency, accountability, and collaboration in a non-threatening and even exciting environment. Dynamic and responsive, everyone’s genius is recognized, no matter how small the contribution. Effectiveness is more quickly assessed in an uninhibited environment.

GRASSROOTS COOPERATION

When an idea truly serves the good of all, growth springs forth at the grassroots level, as interdependent, connective, and sustainable. As the individual supports NPCs or charity, NPCs support and receive support from other NPCs or charities—on up the food chain. If an organization is doing noble work and is managed properly, it thrives despite market conditions.

The myth is that great wealth can’t be created without market dominance and manipulation. How many good ideas have gone on to generate huge wealth for those who carried them to the finish line despite a competitive system? And if we worked together instead?

Herein lies unlimited human potential, as wealth is returned full circle to provide a higher standard of living for all and greater opportunity for those whose time is yet to come. We really are only as strong as our weakest link. The perpetual playing field now level, true national and international security are realized.

Non-profit cooperatives, open-sourcing, and crowd funding are suitable for ensuring every man, woman, and child have equal access to basic shelter, food, water, healthcare, and education, as long as capital and human capital (service) are kept in circulation, and non-profits are not used solely as tax shelters.

It is recognized that as long as humans are involved, there will be challenges to overcome. It takes a mature individual to evolve into becoming the sovereign being who takes full responsibility for his or her actions.

Write your own story. What will you create? What and who will you support with just a few hours of your time and but a few dollars? It’s no longer about competing with your neighbor for materialism, it’s about joining together, allowing great ideas to flow unhindered, and enjoying the river of wealth that follows.

What Would Love Do Foundation

 

Dear Friends,

Here at Bodhi UniversiTree, we move with and as the wind, and thus, the Universe has inspired William and I to co-found the What Would Love Do Foundation.  The private foundation is a grant-making 501(c)(3) non-profit that supports those creatively committed to being the change they wish to see in the world.

We feel led to be a part of the changes necessary to work within the framework of conscious community—and that includes economically.  I once had a conversation with St. Germain many years ago, and it seems, I was to do this now.  It was a as much as a surprise to me as to anyone.  We will be mirroring Nature in our approach and contribution to the world, endeavoring to be of service to, by, and for the grassroots global community.

We also have a brand new literal WWLD Grassroots Global Community that you are invited to join and participate in.  Please share the good news with all of your friends, on social media, etc.  We hope to begin to giving grants away soon, and create more programs and educational material.

Also, I will be writing a 3-part series on the what it would take to create a new economy that benefits the good of all, that was inspired by a special report I’m writing for the What Would Love Do Foundation.  After that, who knows what the Universe will keep me busy with!

Much love to you,

Cultivating Your 7th Sense

Intimately intertwined within the commonly accepted five senses our body uses to collect information about our external world lies the uncharted territory of our metaphysical world containing extrasensory perception and our chakras. It’s only recently that our sixth sense has come into humanity’s collective awareness. But did you know you have a seventh sense?

It is Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC) who is credited with the classification of the primary five sense organs: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. These sense organs contain receptors for specific stimuli that are connected to your body’s nervous system which then sends data to your brain, providing you with useful information about your physical/external world. But what about your essential/internal world?

Buddhists consider the mind to be a sense organ in addition to the five senses. Simultaneously processing the collective data of the first five senses, the mind becomes a gateway, making an exponential or fractal leap to a broader spectrum of perception that includes your internal sensory system. This extrasensory system has been referred to as the psychic realm.

Because science was not advanced enough to detect and measure these energy fields, such phenomena was illegitimized as paranormal, and even ridiculed. Slowly, this is beginning to change.

Our sixth sense has been feared and revered since humans were a much more primitive species, depending on what period of history you had the (mis)fortune of being born in. If you were lucky enough be born into a Native American tribe, you may have been recognized for your inner genius and exalted as your community’s shaman.

But, historically, for the majority of those unacquainted with their internal guidance system, or those subject to culture and conditioning that only recognizes external power sources, much fear-generated misinformation has been disseminated over the centuries, leading the unfortunate to societal ostracization and even death.

Even in modern times, there is still very little information that can be called qualitative. And, to add to the mystery, a seventh sense is coming to light as humanity continues its evolution into higher forms of consciousness.

BEYOND SPACE AND TIME

The difficulty for scientists in collecting empirical data is that the sixth and seventh senses function outside of space and time. The difficulty for non-scientists is that much outlier phenomena is still accredited to external forces or entities—channeling, spirits (good or bad), extraterrestrials, etc.—rather to than to the anomalous experience that is actually happening within.

Sixth sense experiences range from intuition, déjà vu, prescience, to past life parallels. As our conscious mind is always trying to create a linear story out of our experiences, we tend to look for cause and effect to explain a multi-dimensional event. When our mind can’t make two and two equal four, we call it a coincidence.

To demonstrate the complexity contained within your senses, there isn’t even scientific agreement on the number of senses because of differing definitions. Wikipedia states that the senses are divided into the exteroceptive and interoceptive.

Exteroceptive includes the traditional five while interoceptive senses perceive sensations in the internal organs neurologically linked to the brain for the purpose of regulating bodily functions, i.e. regulation of respiration, the sensation of fullness, blushing, and more. Add to these sub-groups, the body’s awareness of balance, pain, temperature, pressure, which are derived from the synthesis of multiple senses.

Some “sense” can be made of all this when you understand that your primary senses are inseparable from your chakra system. Chakras are multi-dimensional vortices of energy, as levels of consciousness, resonating at specific frequencies that also line up with the notes on a musical scale. Chakras act as an interface between the dense physical world and the non-physical world of pure consciousness. There are seven notes in a musical scale, seven chakras, and you have seven senses.

BYPASSING YOUR PHYSICAL WORLD

While your sixth sense utilizes your feeling body to inform you when your intuition is on or off target, your seventh sense is your doorway to the Universal Self via Unity Consciousness. Bypassing physicality, it is direct access to all information contained within the entire Universe—relative to your physical world. No intermediary or channeling is involved. It has been called the Akashic records by some, or the Hall of Records. Another term coined by this author is The Universal Library.

How do you know you are accessing your seventh sense? Every human being intermittently uses his or her seventh sense, but most do so unconsciously. You are using your seventh sense when you ask the Universe a question and receive the answer as your own thought with such clarity, there is no doubt. It is pure knowing.

You could have recently used your seventh sense for something as inane as walking into an unfamiliar grocery story, wondering where the balsamic vinegar was, and allowing your feet to carry you directly there without questioning why “left” was the thought.

You cultivate your seventh sense when you consciously make use of all the resources available to you in the Universe. Quite literally, nothing can be hidden from you by any part of Creation—past, present, or future. All you have to do is tap into your seventh sense and inquire.

This happens by sitting quietly in contemplation—or remaining in a state of open wonderment. The wonder of a child is still contained within you, as you, and is a gateway to greater knowledge. In reality, all of life is a gateway to higher consciousness or enlightenment—Self-Knowledge.

Want to know how the Universe works? Or mankind’s true history? Ask! The information will flow to you at a level you can understand, the spectrum broadening when you are capable of going deeper. Be advised the information is relative to the physical plane as a more comprehensive version of reality, but is by no means complete. No human nervous system has the capacity to contain the totality of light.

As a fun exercise, if you’d like to go deeper using this article as a jump-off point, then contemplate that there are really twelve notes in a musical scale if you include the half notes, twelve chakras in the body, and the exponential/fractal leap from the individual human is the twelve archetypes commonly referred as the twelve tribes!

Are you able to recognize when you are using your seventh sense? Pay attention throughout your day, cultivating greater awareness until your seventh sense becomes inseparable from the rest of your senses.

Money 101: The Missing Link to Your Abundance

[NOW IN SYNDICATION]  It’s time to have a talk—a serious talk about money. It’s been a couple of years since 12/12/12 and many awakened ones are still struggling financially, still trying to figure out how money fits in within their expanded spiritual views.

Recall, prior to the frenzied run-up to the “twelves,” rumors ran rampant that the “Forces of Good” would finally extract control of trillions of dollars from the “Forces of Evil” to be distributed to lightworkers globally, along with the revaluation of several currencies. Many people put their lives on hold or lost everything investing in and waiting for these events to materialize, or are still waiting for invitations to live in cooperative community.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE

Fundamentally, the only thing that has changed, is that we have heralded in a higher consciousness collectively—a glorious thing for all of humanity. Prior, only a handful of enlightened ones walked the Earth, now thanks to the Grand Awakening, many do. We realized that we are the Second Coming of Christ, as a state of consciousness—Christ consciousness, or Unity Consciousness.

Those of us that were industrious before enlightenment continue to be so, chopping wood and carrying water, as the saying goes, transitioning from competitive separation consciousness to working together cooperatively—though your occupation may also have evolved.

You are now aware that the all of everything is God, including you, as love itself. As part of God’s perpetual existence, God/Creation loves and supports Itself as the One, meaning Creation loves and supports you, the caveat being—your participation is required.

THE ROLE OF MONEY IN OUR UNIVERSE

Let’s examine how money energetically fits into the Big Picture. In dimensions higher and lower than the third, money is not found. But, as a multi-dimensional being, you also live in the third dimension where money exists as a means of energetic exchange within Creation for the purpose of perpetuating more of itself. Creation/God is its own power source, perpetually making love.

As you appear to have a physical body that arises out of third dimensional energy, the metaphor of money represents is an inseparable part of living in third dimensional consciousness and always will be, unless one wishes to live like an animal or be totally dependent on others for their basic needs.

When in the physical body, no human escapes vocation. Jesus was a teacher with so much money coming in, Judas managed it for him. Even a beggar with a begging bowl works hard as a beggar. Many spiritual teachers/gurus are masters in marketing higher consciousness, attracting devotees happy to handle the third dimensional aspect of their vocation for them. The beggar begs, the spiritual teacher markets concepts, the student studies, the artist expresses… Everyone works at something.

Dependence on others is not interdependence, the natural order of things. Though the true teacher teaches out of compassion and not for money, he or she realizes money is part of the package of being human and does not oppose it, therefore it flows freely. Even the honeybee and the flower have a symbiotic relationship, the flower bearing the pollen for the bee to cultivate. Those living in caves in the Himalayas are brought food in recognition of the “work” they are doing on behalf of all of humanity on a much higher plain of existence because the third dimensional aspect of physicality must still be handled. And you must handle yours. Like the yogis, you are not asked to do so alone. The Universe is synergistically offering you abundance and means now, in this moment. In the third dimension, it takes two or more.

DOES MONEY FIT INTO THE SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE?

The belief that money is not “spiritual” or the rejection of money is actually a belief born out of separation consciousness. To reject money is a form of rejecting love itself, and/or creating separation.

Let’s go deeper briefly by understanding that the human is always doing both—creating separation and unification as part of the ebb/flow cycle of the physical world. When you become fully conscious, transcendence of your own habitual looping ebb/flow patterns occurs as you uncover them, but you are still subject to the ebb and flow of the physical world.

You may not be interested in money other than your daily bread. We could possibly speculate that 99% of the planet would be quite content to simply receive their daily bread without struggle, preferring to live a joy-filled life with no need to amass fortunes for fortunes’ sake, however, in 3D, action must still be taken.

THE MISSING LINK

So many awakened are suffering from such poverty, it’s time we collectively address the matter. As stated previously, many reject money believing that austerity leads to even greater depths of spirituality, that money is no longer required, or they are waiting for someone to hand them money, gifts, resources and opportunities without having to take any steps on their own behalf.

These imaginings, now a full-blown collective fantasy also derived out of separation consciousness, have taken on a life of their own. As Christ consciousness is within, so too, is your abundance. Do you see how rejecting any aspect of life, including the human part of existence is to reject yourself? Money is spiritual.

As we do live multi-dimensionally, there is no choosing money or not choosing money—it’s all you. This is the missing link: We transcend the paradox by accepting and living our lives from both the physical world and from above.

Energetic exchanges and “free” occur simultaneously. (There is actually still an exchange occurring in the “free” economic model.) We give freely of ourselves—our time, talent, skills, knowledge (and yes, money)—which creates the opportunity for others to give to us. We also accept gifts/donations and set prices for materials good—no avenue more or less holy or “spiritual” than the other. Giving is receiving is giving… This is the Circle of Life.

ENTERING THE CIRCLE OF LIFE

In the third dimension, DOing is the physical expression of the BEing. So go creatively chop wood. Launch exchange systems where money is not compulsory, if that is your calling. If you wish to live in cooperative community, find others and construct one, or start one on your own. Do not wait for an invitation. Allow the creativity and the money to flow.

Giving and receiving is the Universe in perfect balance, meaning you are in perfect balance. If you don’t wish to handle the busywork of money once you receive it, delegate it to those who enjoy it. The fun of receiving money is not in furthering accumulation, but in the joy of giving it away again!

An Open Letter to Pope Francis: Set Your People Free

Dear Pope Francis,

The second coming of Christ is upon us. As Christ consciousness, or Unity Consciousness, awakens in the hearts and minds of millions around the globe, will you miss this opportunity to be part of it?

The Dalai Lama has announced that he may be the last in a centuries-old line of holy leaders, stating, “Personally, I feel the institution of the Dalai Lama has served its purpose.”

The Book of Exodus in the Holy Bible tells of a great man named Moses that walked the Earth during the time of the Pharaoh, leading the enslaved Jews out of Egypt to Canaan, the Promised Land covenanted to the Israelites by God for their faithfulness.

It is now your turn to lead the faithful to freedom. Here’s how:

For nearly a millennia, the Catholic Church has allowed a gross misunderstanding to burgeon upon the very flock it has been entrusted to guide. Heaven, hell, and even the meaning of original sin continue to be misunderstood and misrepresented by those calling themselves agents of God.

On July 28, 1999, in an attempt to address the grief arising from the improper use of images of hell, Pope John Paul II stated in front of a General Audience at the Vatican, “…the Bible uses ‘a symbolic language,’” which “must be correctly interpreted… Rather than a place, hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy.”

He went on to further say that, “’Eternal damnation,’ therefore, is not attributed to God’s initiative because in his merciful love he can only desire the salvation of the beings he created. In reality, it is the creature who closes himself to his love.”

Do you see these statements grossly differ from your followers’ general understanding of the most basic doctrines of the Catholic Church? God does not eternally damn anyone, nor ever has. It is the free will of the individual to remain in, separate from, or even to return to a state of union with God—not as an actuality, but as a state of consciousness!

I implore you to bravely step outside of your institution’s complicity to this injustice and blasphemy to God. Publicly and formally denounce the false misrepresentation of original sin—the source of great anguish for millions around the world.

You have the power to clarify that humanity never literally separated from God. It is only the belief in such a possibility, acting as the originating causal sin that leads to all other sin—the true source of suffering and the “gnashing of teeth.”

Jesus, the Christ, came to show the world that the Kingdom of Heaven is within and always has been. Reducing the Ten Commandments down to the Law of Love, as its living embodiment, he offered the world redemption with God through the forgiveness of their sins—the sin of ignorance, not of any true crime, for humanity is innocent. “Whoever believeth in me…” means whoever believes, or understands and accepts what I’m trying to teach you.

As brothers and sisters under the same Father, Jesus’ death and resurrection demonstrated that we are all eternal beings, and not to fear dying, for neither is death literal.

Will you continue to perpetuate separation consciousness, putting the preservation of your institution ahead of its purpose—leading the masses to salvation so that you are no longer required?

Even Einstein, a great man of science, knew the illusion of separation when he said, “A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.”

A scientist fearlessly and publicly revealed the truth. Will you do the same?

Please, set your people free so the world can finally begin to heal.

In Love and Faithful Service,

Christine Horner

Living Abundantly After Self-Realization

[SPECIAL REPORT]  Congratulations!  You have awakened to your true nature, Oneness with God/Creation. 

You may or may not still be in the honeymoon phase.  If you’re not sure, symptoms range widely, including, but not limited to:  A general disinterest in most everything you were interested in before; a lack of desire to engage in unnecessary busy-ness and activity; a heightened sense of awareness that includes the recognition of the insanity of the rest of the world; an acute kinship with Nature; exuding an aura of being in love, with no one in particular, but with the same yearning to lie around and do nothing but simply BE LOVE!

Self-realization, essentially, is when you become conscious of being conscious, or moving out of separation consciousness into unity consciousness.  Usually it is preceded by a “dark night of the soul,” or some type of hardship that acts as a catalyst.  As awakening is the falling away of personal limitation so that consciousness can expand, restrictive beliefs and social constructs are the first things to go.  A common concern for the self-realized individual is how to live abundantly within the desire for full immersion into the Oneness with God experience.  You may be asking how the Universe will take care of your needs.

Creation is designed to thrive—and that includes you.  But, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will look like your current situation and expectations.  What you perceive as needs and what’s best for you are from a limited point of view, crafted mainly from your personal experience within your local culture and conditioning.  Let’s take a look at why those undergoing the transformation into unity consciousness undergo the shared challenge of living abundantly during and after.

SUPPORTED NATURALLY

Humanity was born out of this spectacular, living organism called Earth.   As we inhabited our home planet initially in a state of harmony, abundance flowed freely, provided one learned to align with the cyclical rhythms of Nature.  As humans grew in technological sophistication, and because of our dualistic nature, we went on to develop unnatural societal structures separating us from Nature, disallowing self-sustainability, as we became a dependent, power-over hierarchy that has made it difficult for humans to thrive.

You may be one of the many initiates to have been hugely disappointed and even shocked to lose all forms of security in your life while on your spiritual journey—your home, your status in the community, career, and maybe even the ability to hold down a regular job.  Friends may have judged you harshly, blaming you for your problems.  Why is God allowing this to happen to me?

Dependence is not interdependence, which is the natural order of a cooperative Universe.  If you expected that the Universe would continue to support the unnatural, man-made competitive chaos you were submerged in—no, mostly likely not.  Why?  Because what man has created is not self-sustainable.

However, the Universe is always supporting you. Meaning you may or may not be “homeless” if your ability to pay the bills falls away (not a bad thing), but you will be fed and sheltered in due course. The fearful part of us that has been conditioned against what is natural will be subjected to those still living in the old paradigm who will find fault and judgment with you no longer participating in the insanity of a dependent society until you embrace your co-creative part in the Universal play/dance as if you’d chosen it.

This can be very challenging for you, and if you have a family who didn’t ask to join you on your expedition into higher consciousness (at least not consciously), it can be extremely difficult.  It’s not uncommon for the old separation paradigm to be so distasteful after the transition that old careers are left by the wayside.

HOW DO I LIVE?

Interdependence means we nurture and support each other, harmonizing with the ebb and flow of all aspects of life.  There will be periods of your life when you will be in the physical service of others, and other times when your activity will become still, in a state of BEing, the vibrational resonance of Love.  (BEing and Doing are two sides of the same coin—a concept third dimensional consciousness, or separation consciousness is unable to comprehend.

Though, it may feel like you will never desire to do much of anything again, the feeling does pass and eventually you begin to move.  What you do is not as important as the intention behind it.  Are you fully present, with a giving heart?  In reality, being in service of others (which is really being in service of Self) has no “levels” of distinction, nor hierarchy.

Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help – Enlightened or not, those souls who will be your support system can be right in  front of you; sometimes the ones you least expect.  You may need help with shelter, food, and more.  You ask for help knowing that one day you will offer it, the circle of life personified.  It is only in separation consciousness that asking for help is seen as a sign of weakness—in actuality it is a sign of strength.


Uncover Your Inner Genius/Life’s Purpose – If you haven’t yet, begin discovery work on your unique energetic signature known as your life’s purpose by exploring what you are passionate about and enjoy doing.  Your life’s purpose isn’t about money, but it is inextricably linked to working cooperatively with the Universe so that you may thrive and be abundant.  For more on this, you may enjoy Crossing the Threshold of Your Life’s Purpose in the May-D 2014 issue of OM Times Magazine.


Seek Out and/or Create Cooperative Community – Now that you wish to reside fully in Mind/Body/Spirit, you may feel led to seek out and/or create a local interdependent community.  Ashrams, shambalas, cooperative communities, etc. have existed around the globe for thousands of years.  When in the presence of these advanced consciousness souls, your needs will be provided for without discrimination, guilt or shame.  You may work within these communities part or full-time, or some communities may offer you respite as you fully integrate into Unity Consciousness.

To be ready and willing to let go of unnatural societal dependence on your way to becoming a sovereign being in union with all of Creation/God is an act of great courage.  Most don’t willingly (consciously) do so, but are led down this path as part of their spiritual journey by their super-conscious—no two experiences exactly alike.

When every one of your fears finally falls away, then you will truly be free.  Until then, it can be a quite a roller coaster ride. Breathe. Absorb the twists and turns, highs and lows, by relaxing into your body, rather than resisting. Follow the energy wherever it takes you. Just when you can’t take it anymore, open your heart even wider, as if you have no choice. For, the truth is, the choice was already made.

Why Loving Your Cancer is Good for Your Health

[AS SEEN IN OM TIMES MAGAZINE AND THE MASTER SHIFT]

[COMMENTARY]  As a mother of a child diagnosed with a brain tumor almost five years ago, I was moved by Joan Lunden’s recent comments about going into “warrior mode” re her breast cancer diagnosis.

For my daughter’s cancer diagnosis, there was no strategy relative to her needs that was not discussed at length and repeatedly. However, rather than taking the difficult path of doing battle, instead we chose to relax into my daughter’s diagnosis and surrender. Please allow me to explain…

The medical establishment has it backwards. Not just the medical establishment, but anyone who believes “fighting cancer” is the surest path back to good health. Certainly a positive attitude is part of the journey back to wellness—there is no need to discuss that point. What we are discussing is the fundamental human error of demonizing cancer or to call it “bad.” Lunden stated, “In the beginning you almost feel like, ‘What did I do wrong?’”

CANCER AS PUNISHMENT?

It is a natural tendency to feel that cancer is a form of some kind of punishment. We don’t feel this way when we get the flu or come down with a common cold. We may resist flu or cold at first, but after experience teaches us that resistance actually slows down the healing process, we hunker down for a bit and are gentle and kind to ourselves, knowing good health is around the corner—that positive attitude. We surrender.

This is the approach we opted for as part of Victoria’s treatment plan, with the thought of treating it as just another temporary illness—no guilt and no enemy. (I realize we are still talking about cancer.)

Additionally:

I took the time to get multiple diagnoses and treatment recommendations while doing my own research in conjunction with medical professionals. In our opinion, had we not done so, the results would have come out less favorably.
I then integrated Mind/Body/Spirit medicine with Western medicine, working with a BodyTalk practitioner who addressed the effect emotional, physical and environment influences have on the body’s energetic systems. In our opinion, had we not done so, the results would have come out less favorably.
As I followed our team of doctor’s recommended course of treatment, I added my own: We spent quiet time with the tumor, visualizing it, sending it loving energy and even communicating that it was welcome to be there. In this way we surrendered to what already was. In our opinion, had we not done so, the results would have come out less favorably.

RESHAPING OUR THOUGHTS ABOUT CANCER

If the thought of loving rather than fighting your cancer terrifies you, it may help you to understand that fighting cancer is a fear-based thought process rooted in separation consciousness—believing that we are separate from each and separate from Creation itself.

In separation consciousness, we believe that to surrender is to give up one’s power. It is becoming more evident, even scientifically, all of life is interconnected. Therefore, in unity consciousness, to surrender one’s limited individual power is to allow the totality of the forces of Creation to do its job.

You are literally tapping into a power that is much greater than you, but is still you. This is the miraculous that exists in you!

When we “fight” cancer, we actually get in the way, essentially blocking even further energy that was already blocked to begin with. All of life is energy.   Your cancer, or any illness, is there to be looked at—and loved—just like everything else that appears in your life.

Will this cure all cancer or save millions of lives? No one can say or even guess at this point. It will create a less arduous journey for those on it. Relaxing rather tensing up is a sure sign one is on the right path.

Please follow the courses of treatment that feel right for you. If you do try love instead of fear as part of your wellness plan, I would love to know about your experience.

Meet my beautiful daughter, Victoria, now 16 years old.  I couldn’t be more honored to have shared this crazy-wonderful-difficult journey with her.
