Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Some lightworkers, when they contemplate serving the Mother as a financial wayshower, may think that they need to “learn how it’s done.” If that’s a generic term, I agree. If it’s a felt need to operate as we used to in the old Third, I think I’d demur. The prevailing business models are what got […]
(Concluded from Part 1.) For the longest time, business analysts were calling the automation revolution a cyclical recession. Said Business Week in 1993: “This is the first time in the postwar period that [manufacturing employment] has failed to bounce back in the wake of a recession.” (1) At last it became impossible to ignore the […]
I’ve been fortunate in my readings with Archangel Michael in that he’s been engaging in consciousness raising with me. Each reading he raises one of my qualities or attributes to my awareness and that sets a process in motion. It’s commonly said of a centipede that, once it becomes aware of its 100 legs and […]
Sanat Kumara once said: “All of you [are] angels and agents of change.” (1) Well, if that’s the case, what would it look like to live up to being an angel? What would it look like to behave like an angel? How would an angel behave? I go where I am led and this line of […]
As I continue to plan for the post-Reval period, I go over each of my plan’s features, expanding this part and reflecting on that one. Having lain down one afternoon and drifting off in thought, I imagined myself addressing my new colleagues, whose function it will be to disburse funds to women’s groups. And I […]
After the Reval, many of us will be taking a portion of the world’s unworkability and gifting in such a way as to impact the circumstances that keep the unworkable conditions in place. I’d like to illustrate how my own project planning is going, to offer an example of one funding effort and the unworkability […]
(Concluded from Part 1.) Reaching a Decision How will they reach a decision in the larger and more complex funding requests? The legal test or standard of proof they’ll be applying is “a balance of probabilities.” That translates into “more likely credible than not.” So not “credible beyond the shadow of a doubt,” which is […]
I’m amazed at the number of people who will be opening foundations after the Reval. (1) People in Ojai will, Montreal, Calgary, Seattle, Bellingham, San Pedro, Tennessee, Wisconsin, on and on the list goes. I’d like to contribute to building the context for these funding efforts by discussing stewardship, if you’d permit me. Stewardship is […]
In the course of looking for material on “stewardship,” I came across the following passage in my readings with Archangel Michael. It was so helpful that I decided to post it as one piece. The occasion was GD’s creation of Light Stewards, which led to a discussion of stewardship. “Yes, we understand that in many […]
As seen from the natural state, what’s the essence of generosity? The essence is caring for another. The essence is a moment of self-forgetfulness, in which a seeing of the other has a chance to arise. The essence is the rise of a desire to assist, to extend a helping hand, to clear a space […]
It’s been more than thirty years since Werner Erhard issued his challenge to create a world that works. He said in 1977: “We can choose to be audacious enough to take responsibility for the entire human family. We can choose to make our love for the world be what our lives are really about. “Each […]
My hands are shaking as I write this column. I’ve just watched myself almost succumb to a tendency we have in our society to look upon those who gift money to us, or are planning to do so, with unusual or special deference. I think we call it, at its worst, kowtowing. In this current […]
Again, because of events happening behind the scene, we’re reposting discussions aimed at counselling financial wayshowers on how to manage and make best use of their abundance, especially funds that are intended to benefit the collective, not simply those who possess them. In these next two extracts, Archangel Michael speaks directly to those who have […]
This past reading (May 21, 2015) I asked Archangel Michael how we should behave after the Reval. I can predict that I’ll have a stress reaction and will need to stay relatively quiet. I’m avoiding any celebrations that promise to go over the top and come back to haunt us years later. AAM took the […]
I’m going to take a second cut at a subject I broached a few days ago – the perils of gifting for the newly-wealthy (1) – because I think it’s important. I think seven out of ten people who benefit from the Reval will fall into this trap. It usually happens at the outset and […]
