What Do We Have to Do?

Give Thanks

We all know how we would like things to be different. In fact, we all want the same things to be different - more happiness, less anxiety; more peace, less war; more love, less fear - and yet, our current culture arises from a deeply felt belief that we are separate, that our lives and our destinies are not intertwined.

We have to accept that all major problems in our culture result from our personal issues enacted as the whole. That is to say, we are failing to advance our collective evolution because we have been keeping ourselves out of it. Instead, it's all about the government and the police, the fundamentalists and the assholes, the marches and elections. We are so worried about doing something else that we forget to ask why it's happening in the first place. It's happening because of you. It's happening because of us. It happening because of what we believe.

While we still carry on, acting as if someone is going to fix our problems for us - the earth will die. The dwindling semblance of "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness," will finally be legally reversed as the current economic power trend continues. While we continue to believe that we have to use the system in order to fix the system, the world as we know it will end in cement totalitarian madness.

We must StandUp and StandTall.

How is Peace Possible in this World?

I am Spirit.

A lot of the times we look at the world and we don't like it. We are, in fact, trained to see this around us - but just because we think we see something bad, does not mean that it exists.

One thing can hold many values; a single object exists in many dimensions: length, width, weight, texture, useful, ugly, tall, and so on. Not one of these values exists of the object itself, it is we who choose to name it such. Humans ascribe numbers and values and weights to things. You like red, I like blue - who is right? The cube doesn't even care.

We look at the world and we get caught up in everything we see that is "wrong". Oh this Senator did this, or this policeman did that, let's talk about Obamacare. It's enough to forget about your own life and what you're doing with it. In fact, its exactly enough to make you forget about it - that's the whole game of political powers.

The world unmolested is peace. Our Earth is beauty, is joyful, is heaven without us trying to rob its riches all the time. We were given this wonderful blueprint to live alongside, to live within but our minds are getting in the way. We will not enter into the next era without changing our minds. This is the ticket of admission.

We are not separate. There is no need to compete. The past is not happening anymore and the future never does - stop trying to live there. Be:Here:Now and get your EGO out of the way, man. Your ego is not you. Your past is not you neither are your transgressions, or mistakes. We are living in a world of infinite possibilities and once we stop worrying about what we're doing "wrong," we will find our way to peace.

Why Believe?

Miracles are seen in the light.

We have never done this before in recorded history, so if you look to the past for guidance - you're looking in the wrong place. The old science and religon cannot show us our future. These paradigms were born from separation. We built this world, piece by piece and now we are seeing that a house divided against itself cannot stand.

There is no us and them. This is no you and me. There is only us, for "WE"  is one.

Behind the world we see lives a life of infinite possibility. We get there by questioning, then accepting the answer given. The answer will always be given - we're talking about infinite consciouness here: do you really think we aren't smart enough to figure this out? It's not about smarts and its not about money. It's about belief. It's about faith. Do you believe in yourself enough to expect a better world? Do you believe in us, togther?

The power structure in place in built for people who believe that someone else should handle this. This does not work. Look around, this system does not work becuase it does not reflect reality. There is no one person more qualified than another. There is no one person worth more - yet this is the only thought which creates sense of the current system. Power must be localized, and proportionate to the community it occupies. This means that neighborhoods decide for themselves what they will or will not endure. This is not anarchy. We will never break back into warring clans if we do not choose to. Look at us now - we're just warring nations - we have barely gotten anywhere!

Everything is different becuase of technology. A person in China can have an idea that solves a problem in India. A person in New York can mediate between people in Russia. One idea and its expression can be witnessed by millions. We will do this together. This is the bridge to the next world. It's there, just waiting for you to believe in it.  Let this world fall with love, so that we can rebuild it peacefully.

Why me?

My salvation comes from me.

No one is going to fix this but us. The people in power created this mess - how could they possibly understand how to change it? They are waiting for us to standUP for ourselves. This is the purpose of all darkness: liberation.

We have a choice before us. We can continue down the path we're on, or we can create another. In order to keep moving down the first, we must keep expecting someone else to save us. To start another, we must realize that it is your own self, that you are waiting for.

All of human history leads us to this point. Looking back, we can see the age of kings dwindle to its destrucion - ahead we see the birth of a new era, or we quite literally see nothing at all. Everything is at stake with this choice, our earth will not survive us. It's that serious. Our way of life is not only dying but it is dragging all life with it.

The time has come to standUP.

Stop waiting for the savior, for the politician, for the mayor to fix this for us. They won't. That's not their purpose. The entire world is waiting for you to come of age, this age - the age when-the-people-came-together. And it's easy. It's the one thing you've always wanted to do. You've had dreams of glory and heaven - let's make it! Let's do it! We can and we will!

But our current system does not allow this to happen. We must change the system. It's not about republican or democrat or socialist. It's about the ability to change course, to learn from mistakes, to reflect the evolution of society. We must enter into the process. The People must be a part of the conversation.

Why Change?

Let me not forget my function.

We are all transformers. With one foot in our imagination and the other walking down the street, each and every one of us has the infinite power to bless this world. This is our purpose.

Our collective consciousness is at the brink of a new age, where our lives are dramatically different because they must be. The world is ready - everything is just waiting for you. The bridge is built with the first question: why?

Why do we make these choices which lead us to disaster? Why do we continue down this path when every sign is telling us: stop; dead end ahead. Humanity barrels towards disaster because we have stopped asking why.

In order to change that way we do things, we must change the way we think. We must consider our beliefs and how they create our shared experience here on earth. Nothing will change unless we change, because we are the light of the world - we are the cosmic frequency the hologram reflects. The time has come to change.

Our systems of government do not give us the opportunity to extend this change. This cannot continue if we are going to survive. Everything is different now - every citizen has the opportunity to become educated within the palm of their hand. Every citizen has the ability to decide for his or herself how they would like to live their life. We must come together to build this bridge to the next era which awaits us so peacefully, so easily on the other side.

Our local government chambers will soon be filled with the People, the common everyday citizen - each one waiting to be heard so that we can get this show on the road.

Will you join us?

Why choose?

There is nothing to fear.

We are capable of doing anything that we want to do - and in fact, that is the bounty of this life. We are completely free to do as we choose, unless of course, we decide that we are not. Life does not deny us our freedom, we do. That's the whole trick, right there.

We have decided that we are okay with the system. We do not like the system, we do not believe in the system, we think it is corrupt (and very close to just plainly knowing it is so), - but we are pretty much okay with it.  We are willing to be okay with this system simply becuase we are scared to be without it. We have decided that we can't quite figure out anything better than what we already got, so c'est la vie. I'll see you when I see ya - or you know, I wont - because the planet and everything on it will be dead.

That way of thinking is insane. Absolutely bat-shit crazy. We're so, so, so much better at this life stuff than that. You've got to give yourself more credit.

This is supposed to be fun, and once you step out of that self-imposed box, it is. Not only is it fun but homie, it is eeeaassy. The choice is up to you. Let's practice some policy questions:

Should we spend more money promoting war, or education?
Should we spend more time working, or maturing?
Should we take all that we can for ourselves, or share?
Should we depelete all our resources so the rich can get richer, or actively think of another way to do things?
Should we condemn the weak, or give them the tools they need to succeed?
Should we fight to be right, or should we forgive to be free (and happy)?

Do you still think we need to pay people exorbant amounts of money to figure this out for us?

Why local?

I am not a victim of the world I see.

It's easy to feel discouraged about the future. It's even easier to give up, and play into the crazy logic we are told is true: worry about the future becuase you have no control over it.

But its easiest just to give it up.

Rather than focus on the corrupt politicians, blaming them for our problems (all the while reinforcing our belief in their power) - let's talk about us. Let's talk about you. Let's talk about beautiful, infinite, brilliant you.

YOU are the rightful arbitor of destiny, and by this I don't mean the little "you" which considers itself, well, little. The big YOU is in there too; the one who is entirely confident and has never doubted for one moment that shit - we can do this. Shit, this is what we're supposed to have been doing all along.

Instead of organizing marches (although these are important too), let's organize our communites. Let's decide what it is we want, consider what we are doing, check to make sure its working (here's a hint: its not), and then make a plan. Our society is not working right now - the time has come to change the way we do things.

Together, through our local governments, we will fix this. Right now, our local governments are not governed by the People. Our elected officials operate entirely independently of the People's Voice. What is the People's voice? It's yours. It's hers. It's his. It's everybodys, which means its NOT just the businessman, NOT just the councilman and NOT just the rich man. We must begin to talk about our future together, so we can look forward to it. The time has come to standUP, America.
