What may have stopped so many of us in previous times from speaking the way we are now is that it appeared that there were no solutions to this problem. It appeared that tackling the problem of world hunger was impossible. There were scarce resources. The world could not manage “carrying” the hungry. (You can […]
Considering World Hunger
In building Nova Earth we’re not going to embark in ships to find a new world or land at Plymouth Rock. We’re renovating the house we live in. We’re claiming responsibility for the shape of the locale in which we presently reside. And all of us looking into and after our locale will result in […]
A Culture of Love to Leaven a Planet
Not only do we use the word “culture” for an organization of ideas. We call life in a Petrie dish a “culture” as well. And we lightworkers are living in a very large Petrie dish of Ascension. How we do is being observed and noted. The experiment is being tinkered with and finessed as we […]
A Fact is a Fact, Except….
We’ve talked about how we as a civilization traffic in ideas. As we approach the building of Nova Earth, we’ll see a plethora of values urged as a means of evaluating these ideas and persuading groups of people to align with and support this project or that. And we’ll see facts urged as another means […]
Eating the Menu
I said earlier that there’s a difference between facts and values as stated and as experienced. The facts and values that we talk about are both ideas. However, the word “value” or “fact” relates or points to more than just an idea. To illustrate that difference, Werner Erhard used to say that we often eat […]
Taking Stock of Our Values
Emile Durkheim could never explain to his rabbinical father the usefulness of Sociology. Value was everything, his father would argue. The good, the sacred, the divine were all that was eternal and worthwhile. But young Emile had a hankering for the scientific. He wanted to know what was tangibly true, practically factual. When he could […]
Lightworkers and Lightholders
I feel a need to review a distinction regarding the work we do. I see lightworkers around me puzzled or confused without it, whereas with it there seems to be a greater amount of ease and clarity. It’s about lightworkers and lightholders. Lightworkers are beings who’ve agreed to come here to serve Ascension and all […]
Standing Nervously at the Starting Line
I had a reading Dec. 10, 2014 with the Boss and he said some things that are so uplifting for me that I feel the need to share them. He confirmed something I was beginning to suspect: (1) that I’m writing a book on creating Nova Earth and (2) that he’s collaborating with me on […]
Culture Allows a Civilization to Work Together
Taking up the assignment the Boss has given me, what I’ll try to do here is to establish a number of very basic ideas and principles that we can agree on and that we can build our common work patterns on as we contemplate building Nova Earth. Today I‘d like to make sure that we […]
It’ll Take Courage and Audacity
In his career as a trainer, Werner Erhard continued to move the edge of his work forward. He continually pushed the extent to which he took responsibility for the shape his world was in. In February 1977, he made an important announcement to his staff: “I take responsibility for ending starvation [on the planet] in […]
If They Understood, They’d be Clamoring
Archangel Michael made an interesting point in the reading I had with him on Dec. 10, 2014. I can usually tell when he’s saying something that he wishes to receive a wider hearing. He confirms that most people on the planet have little idea as yet of what’s happening. And that’s what makes our part […]
Where Do We Want to Go?
Where do we want to go? What kind of a world do we want? There are a number of ways in which that question can be approached. A first cut at it would be to say that we want a world that works rather than a world that does not. When something doesn’t work, we […]
What Brought This On?
We said that we make the path as we walk. And we said we had to lay new track as a civilization because the last track we laid was definitely headed for disaster. What disaster was it headed for? Nuclear World War III for one thing. That was the plan. Take Afghanistan. Take Iraq. Take […]
Our Next Step IS the Path
I’d like to pick up the thread again of discussing at a conceptual level creating Nova Earth. As I said earlier, I can only pursue this as a blue-sky, conceptual discussion. There isn’t enough of me to go around to pursue it at a more detailed level. What’s becoming apparent to me, as awareness dawns […]
Conditioning Speaking, Vasana Raging
I have to acknowledge that I’m embedded in a process, which won’t even wait for a two-day rest break to be over. The work goes on around the clock. It doesn’t let up. Actually this is not work. Writing is not work. Administering is work. Corresponding is work. Writing is paradise. Guess what my mission […]
