Good Things


Despite the news of gloom and doom, many wonderful things are happening.

What is being reported is only on the surface.

The disruption underneath is bring all the mess up to the surface where it is visible.

The disruption is a cleansing, a purging of bad practices that have gone on so long that they can no longer be hid.

They are being brought to the surface in just the right way to bring about a deep reorganization.

We perceive people differently now than we did one hundred years ago.

We perceive them differently than even a decade ago.

We have more compassion, more awareness.

And we want equality.

We want good things for everyone.

We want room for all the individuality and creativity to be expressed.

After all, that is why we are who we are.

So, my thanks to the folks who are showing us the weakness of the system.

And even as they try to distort it beyond all recognition from the original intent of our country’s founders, we can be grateful for their demonstration of the weakness of the system in order to make room for the new awareness, the new paradigm.

Your Freedom and Abundance

Written on July 23, 2013


Here you are, sharing your apartment, your house, your land.

Here you are, growing food in containers, in your yard, in your gardens.

Here you are, with each of you contributing your skills.

You share cooking, cleaning, earning.

You share child care, laundry and sewing skills, and car repair.

In your apartment complex, neighborhood, community, there are people with whom you barter, exchange services, and just look in and take care of.

No one is hungry.
No one is neglected.
No one is lonely.

You will well, in freedom and abundance.

What Is Valuable To Me

Written on July 22, 2013


What is valuable to me is all that matters.

I can do the things that are needful.

I can do the things I am required to do.

I can do everything the way I have been told to.

But that has nothing to do with what is valuable to me.

What is valuable to me is the way I think about things.

Things have come into my life through certain routes, sequences of experiences.

They have come bouncing and bounding off other events.

When it all gets put together for me, I have my own point of view.

I extract what is valuable to me from all of this.

I utilize what I have gained in the most beneficial way for me.

It may look completely different from how someone else utilizes their experiences.

In fact, it should.

The point at which things come together for me should be different from anyone else.

It should be intriguing to meet other people and see how we all fit together, utilizing our unique talents.

Right now, we are all mostly playing a matching game, the lowest order of thinking.

Is it like me?  Is it different from me?

But integrating all of our experiences together and creating live, spontaneous relationships, would be quite interesting.

You Will Figure It Out On Your Own

Written on July 19, 2013


You will have help, of course.

You will have distractions.

You will told to go this way or to do that.

But you will find your own course.

You will walk this way and try that path and listen to someone’s advice.

And when those run out or don’t work, you will look for something else.

Of course, it is within.

That is really the only place you will every find it.

Create a Better World


What are your tools?

Do not use the tools which created this world, to create a better world.

Do not use greed, competition, testing and a sense of limitation.

Instead use better tools.

Use imagination, limitlessness, kindness, generosity, and compassion.

The math will follow.

The science will support you.

Start with art.

Start with meaning.

Start.
