“We don’t need a revolution in the United States. We already had one, thank you. What we need now is an American Evolution, where We the People evolve into the citizens the country’s founders dreamed of.” Swami Beyondananda

Science, through the Human Genome Project, has recently discovered that our genes don’t control our physical and behavioral traits. This new discovery is akin to the discovery of fire! Up until now the old theory of genetic determinism imprisoned us into believing we were weak, frail victims of our heredity. “If mom died at 50, I probably will too.” Or, “My whole family is fat so I guess I just inherited those “fat genes”.

The new science called Epigenetics means “above” (epi) genetics. And “above” they went. They learned we don’t have very many more genes than lowly animals. What then accounts for the increased complexity of humans if not the genes? What influences whether or not you die at 50 like your mom or are fat like uncle George? The answer will shock you because it shocked the scientists.

First of all they discovered the nucleus wasn’t the brain of the cell that determined the health and nature of that cell. Rather, the cell’s brain was in its membrane. This is akin to the discovery of the wheel! Healthy cells in a Petri dish placed next to a dish of sick, toxic cells became toxic. They weren’t physically intermingled. It was strictly environmental influence. In cloning research, they discovered by placing neutral cells next to a dish of liver cells, the neutral cells became liver cells! The stimulus from the surrounding environment determined cell identity and not the genes.

In humans the emotions are the stimuli for our cells. Our thoughts via the brain create the emotions in our bodies. Emotions of love joy and peace build healthy cells and strengthen our immune system. Conversely the opposite emotions over time tear down the cells and weaken the immune system.

At this major crossroads as a civilization we are being gifted with this wisdom to enable us to abort a destructive mission of humanity and our planet. Our ancient ancestors knew all this viscerally of course. In our pride and arrogance we dismissed their knowledge as either too primitive, pagan or New Age woo-woo. But now we can accept it because science has proven it in the laboratory. Whee! However, on the flip side, we also have learned how some ancient civilizations destroyed themselves because they chose selfish power over selfless cooperation. They became like cancer cells that greedily take over the whole organism until they kill it. (Sounds like large corporation cells).

All of Nature including humans grow and increase on this principle of creation through cooperation. It is not survival of the fittest as Darwin proposed. It appeared that way on the surface, but upon closer examination, and with advanced technology, we now know that isn’t how life works. We must abandon all beliefs based on this violent non-cooperative model.

We must avoid horrific apocalyptic movies and books that scare the life out of us because they transform our healthy cells to toxic cells. Besides, apocalypse simply means “change”, not annihilation. The Mayan prophesy about 12/21/2012 does not say the world as a planet will cease to be. It says “business as usual” will cease because a change is happening to consciousness in all of creation. We are even seeing U-Tube videos of animals who are normally enemies playing together. Could this be a fulfillment of Isaiah 11:6 which says “The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child shall lead them.” This passage is thought to be a prophesy of the coming of a millenium of peace aka the New Heaven and the New Earth?

The implications of these new discoveries as to how life works are staggering, and put us in the driver’s seat instead of the trunk. Each of us is a mini-world. We are each a self-contained universe with 50 trillion cells in one body! Can you imagine? If each cell was a whole body they would fill 7,000 Earths. In addition to that, most every cell has its own nervous, digestive, respiratory, musculoskeletal, reproductive, and immune system!

Imagine each of us creating an environment of peace and cooperation; joining with other like-minded souls to create a tsunami to cleanse all toxic cells from the Earth. Can we do it in time? I believe we can. If it was impossible we wouldn’t be flooded with all this wild, wonderful and enlightening information. I say, let’s believe we can. We can start by acting “as if” it is possible to make a quantum shift in consciousness on a universal scale. Let’s start today!

HALLOWEEN – THE ULTIMATE COSTUME PARTY October 29, 2009

Halloween is an offshoot of an ancient Celtic celebration called Samhein, meaning “summer”. Celebrated on October 31st, it marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter on November 1st which was also their New Year. The Celts populated most of Britain, Scotland, Ireland, France, Spain and Asia Minor around 800 B.C. They believed that on October 31st the veil that separated the living from the dead was the thinnest; and therefore, communication with the ancestors was easiest. Spirits crossed over the veil throughout the year, but it was much easier for them to materialize and move matter during the period of Samhein.

After Christianity spread all over Europe, Samhein was changed to All Hallows Eve. November 1st became All Hallows Day and later renamed All Saints Day. Hallows Eve eventually became Halloween.

It has only been since the 19th century that people stopped believing that deceased souls could continue to communicate with souls living on the physical plane. Everyone, up until that time, whether Christian or pagan, was immersed in the sacred and the mystical aspects of nature and the cosmos. They believed everyone was an eternal soul that followed nature’s pattern in the universal ‘birth, death, re-birth’ cycle of creation. They knew that nothing really ‘died” in the sense that it ceases to exist. It just changes form. Science has proven this to be true. However, instead of naming this essence ‘life’ or ‘soul/spirit’ they call it “energy”.

No matter how pervasive scientific theory has become, the sacred, mystical beliefs and practices haven’t died, but are still very much alive. They just change form like water that can become ice and steam. So whether one is living life from the ‘Outside’ in a physical costume on loan from the Cosmic Costume Store, or they’re living souly from the ‘Inside’ without the costume, they are still a living soul.

Prior to the Age of Reason most everyone believed communication with the other dimensions was possible and mostly beneficial. For example, experiences with angelic beings were common. Encounters with nature spirits filled mythologies and fairy tales that we enjoy today. However, after science became the ultimate authority, anything not measurable in a laboratory was considered unreal or unreasonable. This included anything mystical, spiritual or sacred. The established church reigned over the mystical and science ruled everything else.

Unfortunately, the established church at the time decided to demonize any unsanctioned interaction between the living and the dead, even to the point of killing anyone suspected of those ‘unholy practices’. Pagans of all types including herbalists were prosecuted. These judgments prevail today, but souls still come out to play on Halloween. You just can’t keep a good ghost down!

Humanity has known for thousands of years that light and dark, good and evil exist side by side. But since the scientific model took over we separated and judged what we couldn’t see with our eyes and measure or understand. Light was all good and dark was all bad. This view keeps us locked into an ‘either/or’ world of separation and division. These worlds don’t have longevity; but rather, they self-destruct because of the constant conflict that mind set generates. In reality it is a both/and universe, in which the light plays off the dark and vice versa. You can’t see the light without the dark. For example: no one can see a white dot on a white board! Simply put, without the play of opposites there would be no world.

How does all this relate to Halloween? It is a celebration of the dark and non-physical as being an integral part of the light and visible world. It is meant to teach the living how precious life in a physical costume is. Certainly, it is not always a bed of roses. Nevertheless, it is a fantastic ride, a grand ball worthy of our passion to dance till we drop.

As we too approach this winter season of dying, let’s open our minds and eyes to see beyond the veil to imagine what it might be like to not have a costume to play and dance on this physical plane. Listen for the music from the other side to appreciate every single dance step at this our ultimate costume party.

Spirals of Response vs. Circles of Reaction October 15, 2009

The spiral shape tends to inspire feelings of openness, freedom and adventure. It appears full of possibility. The circle on the other hand, is a closed system. Whatever you start with you finish with, so there isn’t opportunity for new adventure or imagination.

Circles are very useful, however, which is why they are pervasive in our culture. We have countless variations of the wheel serving all manner of utilitarian purposes. Our Newtonian science is based on the circle of cause and effect, action and reaction in a continuous circle. We don’t seem to have much use for spirals on the material plane of life because it is open ended.

When we use the circle of reaction method in relationships with others and nature itself, it shows itself to be inadequate in dealing with the complexities of life. This is evident in all the conflicts in the world today, which are fueled by individuals and nations in continuous circles of reaction to each other. The old Hatfield’s and McCoy’s feud lives on in different costumes.

It seems to be time to use an expanded paradigm of thinking and relating to each other and the world at large. By opening the circle into a spiral, we give ourselves the opportunity to respond instead of react. What is the difference? REACT means ‘to act in return or opposition or towards a former state’ (like a circle). RESPOND means ‘to answer’ (more open).

Reactions are mostly automatic, like a knee-jerk reaction to stimulus. It is just “a happening”; and therefore, we don’t feel we have any control over it. However, in truth, we do have control and we do have a choice; but we don’t apply it to situations in which our buttons are pushed. Someone attacks us physically or verbally and a primal reaction is triggered. Our society has always condoned reacting by striking back in like kind– no questions asked.

Responding, or answering, on the other hand implies taking time between the initial action and the answer or response. This newly created time space offers opportunity for processing information by listening to the other. It lends a feeling of open-mindedness to consider various alternatives to raw reaction. We have time and space to possibly “walk in the other’s shoes” for a few moments, which would enable one to see a different point of view. This in turn could lead to an understanding of why the other did or said what they did. With understanding comes a space for cooperation, and even compassion in some cases.

A good example of responding is found in the practice of non-violent communication. which uses the “Jack in the Box” method of communication. This is how it works. You place your order at the drive-thru speaker box. Jack responds by repeating what you ordered. Then you respond by affirming whether or not they heard you right. If not, you continue the interaction until you know that Jack in the Box fully understands your order.

If Jack simply ‘reacted’ to your order by giving it to the cook without verifying it with you, your order could possibly be wrong about half of the time. Jack’s owners learned this early on and chose to respond instead of react. They didn’t want employees assuming they understood what the customer said. Assuming is a huge problem with reaction as it is based solely on one’s individual limited perception of the situation regardless of what others are saying or doing.

Do you agree that we need to learn how to change from circles of reaction to be able to flow into spirals of response? To be able to respond we must learn to listen to others with our heart instead of reacting to words with our biased minds. Try this simple exercise. Listen with your heart to your spouse, children, co-workers, fellow students for just one day. Don’t interrupt anyone by talking over them. Just listen. Take a breath. Wait and feel if you need to respond verbally. Many times you will find there’s no need to say anything. Simply by listening with your heart, they felt heard and seen. Your spiral of response has opened up an infinite world of possibilities.

IS IT ABSOLUTELY TRUE? September 18, 2009

We are always taking in information from everywhere, including our own repetitious thoughts, and most of it isn’t even true. If that weren’t bad enough, we act on that information blindly accepting the information as true. Then we process it by judging the information as good or bad, useful or worthless.

Acting on thoughts about information that may or may not be true is the cause of 99% of the suffering in our world. We are fabulous story tellers, and we weave epic stories that would make Hollywood jealous. We have a novel in our heads about who we are, who are parents are and what they did to us, about the world and what it is doing to us, and why or why not we can’t do anything to change it.

If we could stop ourselves for a few moments, jump out of the squirrel cage of our “monkey minds” and ask ourselves one question: “Is it true? Can I absolutely know it is true?” we would be shocked at what our answer would be. That’s because the answer would be “NO.”

We are all reluctant to admit that because: 1. We love to be right all the time; and 2. We can’t justify our feelings if they are based on a falsehood. If someone treats us badly in our opinion, we can think they don’t love us or they want to hurt us. Unless we come right out and tell them how we feel and ask them why they acted a certain way, we just believing our own very subjective thoughts. We ignore the fact that we’re the only ones that can make ourselves feel anything by the stories we tell ourselves.

Once I acknowledge that maybe the story I’m telling myself isn’t true, I open a whole new paradigm of possibilities as to what may be the truth in the situation. Many times we find out that someone’s behavior towards us had nothing at all to do with us. It’s possible they weren’t feeling good or they had just had some bad news. Unless we ask the person how they are feeling or what they are thinking, we can only assume. We when do that we make “an ass out of you and me”.

“To thine own self be true.” and “Know thyself.” are famous quotes. We TRULY can only know ourselves, which takes most of us a lifetime! So asking ourselves if something is true or not as we go along judging everything in our lives, can be a life saving and life changing tool. It literally changes the whole dynamic between people.

When we assume we know what another is thinking or believing, we react to them based on our beliefs. We project onto them the feeling of anger or hurt, which then elicits a negative response from them. This is turn fuels our belief that they have something against us; and on and on it escalates. We can see this happening on an individual level and community or world level. We aren’t asking the right questions and few, if any, are listening for any answers!

In fact, we rarely actually listen to ourselves let alone others. I personally believe this is the reason for all the conflict in the world. We’re rarely in silence. Wisdom always speaks in whispers. We can’t hear ourselves think. We’re acting on automatic pilot at warp speed. It becomes easy to make snap judgments about others and ourselves. We don’t stop to feel the effects of these judgments. Too time consuming, we think. So we stuff them into our backs or necks or digestive tracks.

Wouldn’t it be easier and healthier to catch the toxic process at the beginning when something happens that we don’t like or that makes us unhappy? Couldn’t we stop and ask, “Is it true?” Then wait long enough to hear the answer. If it isn’t true, keep questioning it until a satisfying more truthful answer surfaces. The answer is waiting within each of us. Ask and it will answer, but we must be still to hear it’s whisper. The truth will set us free, but we must have the courage to ask for it and the time to receive it.

The Present is Pre-Sent June 23, 2009

Now that is quite a wild statement. But think about it for a moment…or two. If our present moment is pre-sent, who sent it? And why should I care? I have enough to think about without questioning where the present came from and who sent it. Good grief!

Though it feels like a silly conundrum of confusion, it is really a profound thought, which if pondered for awhile will lead to a liberating revelation.

We are living on the surface of a infinitely enormous mystery. Our bodies alone are so complex we haven’t even begun to figure them out or identify all the components. Each one of us in a magnificent universe unto ourselves. We are actually a hologram and everything we experience is a holographic image as well. As you know they can clone something from just one cell. This in itself is mind boggling.

What does this mean in your everyday life? It means that if you live your life as if this material world is all there is; you will be very confused and discouraged most of the time. Remember, the material world around us is only about 1% of reality. The remaining 99% is unseen by human eyes. Can you imagine deciding anything in your life with only 1% of the necessary information? I think not. And yet, we do it all the time.

Experts tell us that we only use about 10% of our brain power. The other 90% is just sitting there doing nothing. Why is that!? I would think that would really upset people. I would think they would want to know immediately, if not sooner, how to access that 90% so their life could be more manageable and enjoyable. However, for some unknown reason, we just go on with life as if we never even heard that incredible information.

Okay now. Back to the present. We hear a lot lately about being present, living in Presence, being here now, because NOW is all there is. But the NOW is a product of the past moment. If you were sad a moment ago, you are probably sad now. Therefore, you sent yourself a sad thought to be experienced in the future, which is now the present. So your “present” has been “pre-sent”. Get it?

We can have an incredibly rich life if we challenge ourselves to use the 90% of our minds to consciously create our future “present” moments by visioning in the current present what we want to feel and experience in the future present. This is the awesome gift of free will that distinguishes us from other species. We can co-create our future by choosing what we think about in the present!

Proverbs says that “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he”. It isn’t what other people think about you that determines who you are. What others think of you is none of your business! It’s their business. No one can make you think anything you don’t want or choose to think. Nor can you make anyone else think something they don’t want to think.

So why do we spend so much time and effort struggling to control others and our material world? If it is a losing game, why play it? Good question, don’t you think? Well, I believe we keep playing it because we are choosing to use the 10% of our minds to figure out the 1% of reality. Real life is going on subliminally in the 90% of our minds in the 99% of reality!

It does sound crazy doesn’t it? That’s because it is! Now that the whole world is turned inside out and everyone can see behind the curtain and they can see the emperor has no clothes, people are freaking out. “What in the world can we do?!” Nothing! We can only change our world by changing our perception using the 90%.

Ernest Holmes who wrote The Science of Mind said, “Change your thinking; change your life”. And he was right. Our thoughts are the steering wheel of our life vehicle. It’s time to wake up and enjoy the Present you Pre-sent yourself consciously.

Here is the site: www.earthfiles.com . If we ever needed proof that crop circles are not man made this has to be it. To have them all appear in England in April 2009 is significant also.

The investigators of the symbolism of the crop circles are seeing similarities with Mayan and Aztec Calendar symbology. As we get closer and closer to 12/21/2012 we are going to see more and more phenomenon that will be quite mind blowing I’m sure. It is time to keep our eyes (third eye preferably) and ears (intuition) open, and antenae up.

Also on this site there is info on the hole(s) in the magnetosphere exposing us to deadly radiation if there are sun spots; which there are none at present…thank goodness! You can check the sun spot issue on NASA.gov site which shows up as a link on www.earthfiles.com.

The point of all this activity is not so much about the ending of the world, but more about the beginning of a new one with a much higher consciousness taking precendence over the lower materialistic consciousness (or unconsciousness). The increase in more advanced crop circles could be a signal we are maturing enough to meet our neighbors in the near future. They are, afterall, sending us engraved invitiations to the party.

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting ready to wear my “party pants”. Can you see it?

STAND BY ME April 15, 2009

There is a very wonderful video circulating the world on the internet. Many different people sing and play Stand By Me. Here is the link to tune in and watch as soon as you can. http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=2539741             Here are the lyrics:

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid
Oh I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
No I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

Darlin’ darlin’ stand by me
Oh stand by me
Oh stand now, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever you’re in trouble just stand by me
Oh stand by me
Whoa stand now, oh stand, stand by me


            Every one of us feels we can bear just about anything if we have someone standing by us that understand. As human beings we almost inherently know that we are not made to go it alone in this world. We are vitally connected to others.  In this current world which seems very fractured, it is very easy to become extremely distracted by a constant bombardment of media, technology and economic stressors. Since the media’s mantra is “If it bleeds, it leads.” we usually only hear of negative and destructive events happening around the world.

            Our poor minds can’t tell the difference between what we see on TV and what we see in real life, so it reacts to everything in real time. Whatever the mind hears in present time it believes it is happening now. So when you tell a sad story about a past event, your mind relives it as if it is happening in the present as you’re speaking. Then it releases all the stress hormones to help cope with that problem. This is why it is so vital to censor what we allow into our minds. If all it sees and hears is horrible negative news, it will be easy to think the whole world is like the news stories. But it isn’t! There are millions of miraculous, loving, compassionate acts of kindness happening every second around the globe that we never hear about.
            There is more proof all the time that we create what we focus on. If we focus on all the good in our lives and have an attitude of gratitude for the many parts that are good and working, then we will get more of those things. Keeping a gratitude journal is very helpful. Recording all the things that are a blessing in your life will dramatically alter your world view.
            There are many positive affirmative videos like the one mentioned above as well as inspirational affirmations circulating on the internet that one can plug into everyday to get a lift and get going in the right direction. In a way, the internet is providing a way for all of us to STAND BY EACH OTHER. The Stand By Me video is awesome because the music and the words resonate so deeply within and we can feel connected to everyone.

             The Universe is conspiring to teach us Compassionate Connection through these testing times. The world is especially polarized now with very little neutral ground to dabble around in. We are forced to make a choice for the light or the dark, the love or the fear. Every moment is an opportunity to choose which side we want to put our energy toward. Anything that helps us grow toward compassion and/or connection with others is sacred work.  When we stand by each other we are standing on holy ground.

            Compassion means with passion and passion sometimes means suffering. We are with others in their suffering and that is what helps lighten the load. Jesus said this too. He said “Cast your cares on me, because I care for you”.  The Christ is within you and me and that is what we do… we stand by each other. We are to be the Good Samaritan for each other.

            Play that video again and again until the joy of it just overflows.

 

YOU ARE NOT YOUR STORY March 9, 2009

      Most everyone is living their lives primarily from memorization. We have memorized our family’s history and believe we are one of the characters in that novel. We believe we are what we know from school and work over time. We’ve memorized the various scripts for the character(s) we chose to play, as well as the parts that might have been forced upon us when we were too young to know what was happening.

        Conformity is the flavor of the day – everyday. The non-conformist who is marching to a different drummer isn’t rewarded unless he excels to greatness. The majority never even try to venture out of their comfort zone no matter how miserable their situation. A rut is a grave with both ends removed.

            When we believe we are our story, we are living life through the rear view mirror. Our future will be just like our past. Scary thought for most. Of course, we aren’t our thoughts either. We are the thinker having the thoughts as well as writing our stories. But what if there is no story?

            Imagine suddenly finding yourself with amnesia with no memory of the past. You don’t know your name or where you live. However, you still exist. You are breathing. You fog a mirror and you can see yourself in it. Now, who are you? You are your awareness that you exist. Everything else is just a story piled on top of this basic truth. Do you see that you are choosing which plot and part you want to play in your melodrama, tragedy, comedy, mystery or adventure? Only you control your choices or think your thoughts. No one else can make you think or feel anything.

            The reason it is important to get a grasp of the fact that we are not our stories is that we must wake up so we can take control of our own lives and creatively choose the best direction in the months and years ahead. The danger of believing that we are our stories means that the past equals the future and we are destined to repeat it.

            Every day we write the script for the coming attraction. If we are living from memorization we are just like the computers we have created. They will only give us what we have programmed into them. You know the drill, “garbage in, garbage out or same stuff, different day”. 

            The real YOU is your imaginative, intuitive soulful Self that creates form out of the formless. Everything was once a thought in someone’s imagination that took form. However, we can’t create a new life path using our old stories. We can be new every morning if we so choose. But we must let go of our fear. We fear the unknown, and without our story we feel lost and out of control.

            Well, the times we are experiencing now have thrust all of us into the unknown whether we like or not. It really is a whole new world, in which our old stories do not work. We can’t afford to remain paralyzed by fear. We can take our power back and co-create a new story of freedom born of cooperation and compassion. The old story (his-story) has been based on rugged individualism and competition. The theme was “As long as I have mine, I don’t care if you get yours.”  With the collapse of the global economy and no one knowing how to solve it, we have a golden opportunity to create a new human story.

            We each have the power to write a new story in our own lives. We only need the courage to venture inside and discover it. Ask yourself who were you and what were your passions when you were a little kid before you disappeared under your parents’ story of you? That creative, intuitive unblemished child can be resurrected, because he/she is still alive and well in your heart. Listen to the real story and give it a voice.

None of us can afford to act out anyone else’s story anymore. There is a sifting going on and only the “real” will remain to change the story.        

 

WHAT TIME IS IT ANYWAY?! January 23, 2009

          Is this the end times? Are all the prophesies of the Bible, Nostradamus, the Mayan, Aztec, and Hopi tribes unfolding now? If so, when will this happen? What is ending and what may be beginning? Some claim the end is 2012, some say it’s any day now, some say 2030 give or take a few years. There are many interpretations from which we can choose. We can also choose to focus on what is dying or what is being born. The majority chose to look to the birth of the new in  our last election. However, the minority chose to hold onto the past. 

            Our polarized tribal social systems have kept us running in place, clinging to a narrow “us vs. them” ideology that allows us to believe we are always right and they are always wrong… or we’re good and they’re evil. Americans haven’t had much incentive to break free of this limiting box, because we still believe that we’re in control to a certain extent. But that illusion of control is deteriorating now too, and fears of calamity are mounting.

            Catastrophes always seem to wake us up and open us up. We have a Dr. Phil “ How’s that workin’ for ya?” moment. Here again we can choose to see the lesson in the problem or let the problem overwhelm us.  Fear and confusion just block our ability to make better choices. Between the collapse of world financial markets, threat of a Middle East Armageddon scenario, a repeat of the 1930’s Great Depression, the return of the Ten Plagues of Egypt and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, many are close to a panic state.

            Who will save us? Is it time for the return of a savior to vanquish all the evil and restore the kingdom to the faithful? Is it time for the arrival of the mother ship from outer space to beam the faithful up? Some may have already left or “ascended” to Planet 2, a theoretical cloaked planet near here without as many bad guys (and gals) as our Earth . Others are doggedly slugging it out in the battle fields as God’s warriors, but each side believes God is only on their side.

            Since these deliverance scenarios have been in place for millennia in every tribe and religion, and the world hasn’t yet ended; we can pretty well deduce from history that they were not meant to be taken literally. They were meant to be taken as a symbolic or metaphorical description of a spiritually awakened understanding of the future rather than a literal interpretation. Most all the doomsday predictions point to our current period, which indicates that the time is now to shift gears and rise into that higher consciousness in order to see the big picture on a global scale. All prophesies include clear guidance as to how humanity can avoid total destruction by rising above tribal ignorance and cultural differences to discover our common yearning for peace and freedom. For example, the Hopi prophesies state “We are the ones we have been waiting for”.

            Many still choose to remain in tribal “us vs. them” boxes of prejudiced beliefs, fighting endless wars at home and abroad. But this is the very world system that is self destructing. We have played all the cards in the deck. This game is over- the game of “let’s see how long we can continue to destroy each other and the planet”.

            We can create a more positive end time scenario but we must choose to let go of our right to play God trying to control everything and live from the inside out with our hearts instead. We don’t have to wait until more catastrophes happen in our lives to turn the tide. Each one of us has the light of understanding in our core that we can access at anytime we choose. We call it our gut feeling, our sixth sense or intuition. It is a plumb line of justice and truth we can always use to measure and discern the bad, better and best individually and collectively. Our collective thoughts can create a new reality.

            What time is it? It is time to choose the world we want to create. The time is NOW.

        Have you ever noticed how deeply connected you feel to someone with whom you share a belly laugh? Can you imagine fighting or arguing with that person? If you are the one that caused the belly laugh in another you probably feel incredibly blessed because something you gave of yourself was received in another’s soul.

        What is it about this deep laughter that creates a bridge between us, joining us on a higher level of oneness? I believe it is a gift of Divinity to the human soul. As far as we know no other living species has belly laughter. I think we could surmise that dogs and maybe cats smile, but I don’t think they laugh. Proverbs tells us that “laughter does us good as a medicine”.

Medical science tells us that orgasms make us healthier too. Hmmm.

        Laughter is probably more accessible than orgasms for most of us; but almost as rare for many. Deep laughter could be the key to saving humanity from our current health and world conflict issues. What if we were to learn what different cultures found hilarious? Can you imagine how much more connected to them we would feel if we made them double over in laughter?

        People are very open and vulnerable when they let go and laugh till they cry or wet their pants. You are never the same with the one who brought you to that state of release from your prison of self control. This is why I think it is like an orgasm. I’m not trying to downgrade sexual orgasms. Rather, I am trying to elevate our awareness of humor that heals.

It is said that when you share your body with another that you bond at a soul level with that person. Even if a relationship doesn’t last the two stay bonded. Orgasms are usually limited to two people whereas laughter is more inclusive.

        In the case of laughter we can experience that orgasmic bond, because we drop our masks, open our hearts and meld together in ineffable joy. The joy is the overcoming power of the divinity within us. In that moment we become one. We feel love and appreciation for the immense release of energy the laughter created.

        So why don’t we focus our creative minds on discovering hilarious topics to spring on each other to experience a spontaneous explosion of wholesome joy? It will help heal our bodies and it will diffuse anger and conflict. The best part is that it is free and there is no end to its availability.

        I wish I had a terrific joke to tell you here, but possibly the content of this article will do it for you!
