Remarkable synopsis from Oct. 2019. But first a note from Matthew Ward: “It is immensely heartening that most of you are seeing the positive perspective of situations that the media are reporting with bleak overtones, such as the potential economic meltdown in the ‘Eurozone’ and the global boomerang effect, upheaval in several governments creating national […]
Healing a Divided Nation Begins Face to Face
Healing a Divided Nation Begins Face to Face So say the Better Angels of the partisan divide. Chris Winters, Yes Magazine, Nov. 12, 2019 https://tinyurl.com/sypfhze Three weeks after the 2016 presidential election, a group of 21 people came together in South Lebanon, Ohio, outside Cincinnati, to talk.

Now is the time for Love. Below is Democratic presidential candidate Marianne Williamson’s rousing keynote address at the World Woman Summit 2019 in Little Rock, Arkansas on November 22, 2019. “The rule that should guide us is the dictate of the heart. . .” “Sisterhood has got to mean standing for every woman’s right to […]
800 Jews, Christians, Muslims sing ‘One Love’ in Jerusalem (2018)
Thanks to Len. A good reminder from 2018 that brought tears to my eyes. 800 Jews, Christians, Muslims sing ‘One Love’ in Jerusalem Abigail Klein Leichman, Israel21C, July 8, 2018 https://www.israel21c.org/800-jews-christians-muslims-sing-one-love-in-jerusalem/ At five minutes to midnight on June 14, 2018, about 800 people waited to enter Jerusalem’s Tower of David Museum.

Focusing on Behavior, not People: It’s Up to Us
If the purpose of life is that we travel through lifetime after lifetime, slowly dispelling ignorance of our true identity until we fully and permanently realize that identity as the One; If everyone – alive and transitioned, in form and formless, on this planet and on the countless others on which (and beyond which) life […]
Creating an Idea Whose Time has Come – Part 5/12
Werner tells us that our beliefs create a fundamental condition in which we live our lives and give rise to forces which are impossible to resist as long as we approach matters out of that condition. A condition is a position, a point of view or belief, that functions as a fundamental ground of being. […]
Creating an Idea Whose Time has Come – Part 4/11
Any position we take simply calls up its opposite, Werner asserts. We end up in a “pea soup” of positions and their opposites. Confusion, controversy, conflict, doubt, lack of trust, and opinions surrounding the problem of hunger and starvation result inevitably from any position we take. Werner Erhard, The End of Starvation: Creating an Idea […]
Creating a World that Works, by Jan. 1, 2023
I’d ordinarily wait for Werner’s booklet (1) to finish being posted before writing this article, but, just as I couldn’t stay a moment longer in the hospital, (2) having read the document, so I can’t wait another day before beginning to outline where I and this blog will be going. As you’ll see if you […]
Creating an Idea Whose Time has Come – Part 2/12
Our activism is not neutral. We come to it with beliefs which impact our effectiveness. Here Werner looks at the assumption that food is scarce and therefore some will eat and some will not. He shows that hunger persists in the world not as a function of scarcity. But believing in scarcity and approaching an […]
Creating an Idea Whose Time has Come – Part 1/12
Werner begins by voicing our tremendous desire to make a difference in the quality of life on the planet. That desire arises in the same space as world hunger persists, seeming to give the lie to our belief that any difference can be made. He tells us that this is an exploration aimed at a […]
Mentoring from the Masters: To Lightworkers – 2
We’re creating as much literature as possible for the ever-widening circle of lightworkers. To do that, I’ll be writing numerous short, capsule comments on what Ronna Herman would call the mission of “world servers.” What can we lightworkers bring to the world scene? SaLuSa: You can be the means of bringing a peaceful balance, when […]
How to Eradicate Want in Our World?
I was talking to “SpiritVoyage” (pseudonym preferred), who inspired this line of thinking in me. Never mind tackling the problem of global want piecemeal. Never mind adding up all the universal basic income programs and factoring in homes for the homeless and universal medicare. What have we left out? Perhaps a couple of hundred other […]
Mentoring from the Masters: To Lightworkers – 1
My job is to create as much literature as possible for the ever-widening circle of lightworkers that are in our future. (1) To do that, I’ll be writing numerous short, capsule comments on what Ronna Herman would call the mission of “world servers.” The commentaries will be on subjects thought to be of importance in […]
New Revision and Expansion of Financial Wayshowing and Stewardship
I’m going as fast as I can to expand and revise the books available from the Downloads Page. Here’s the first one – a major revision and expansion of Financial Wayshowing and Stewardship, for all humanitarian philanthropists participating in the Reval. Six other books are in the queue. These books are designed to be used […]
Marianne Williamson: “The System Is More Corrupt Than I Knew”
I understand completely where Marianne may be coming from. And I very much resonated with Joe’s overall commentary here. I regard myself as totally unschooled and unknowledgable about the whole political domain. And I’ve made myself that way out of choice. If I were to enter politics, I’d probably be as shocked by what I […]
