Miniature urban forests planted using a method invented by a Japanese botanist in the 1970s are growing in popularity. Dense copses bursting with biodiversity can thrive in areas the size of a tennis court. Known as ‘Miyawaki’ forests, the trees grow more quickly and absorb more CO2 than plantations grown for timber. How much […]
Any new social initiative, to be lasting, in my estimation, must leave no residue. If we correct the social imbalance between men and women, for example, by harming a lot of innocent men, we’ll create residue, which will need to be addressed in the next round of dissent and unrest. And in this way the […]
And welcome back, Graham, as well! (1) April 22, 2021 What Will 5D Earth Be Like? And How Can We Begin to Live in 5D NOW? I was recently asked to speak on zoom to people who were part of a world-wide group known as Connecting Consciousness, an organization that was originally formed by Simon […]
I go where I’m guided and right now that guidance is in a financial direction. I mentioned earlier something that Cdr Hatonn volunteered in the middle of an exchange with Suzy Ward: “Steverino … You are worrying needlessly. You won’t have to make decisions about what to do with money when it’s available. “St. Germain’s […]
Folks who are participating in the Reval and other Abundance programs are, in actuality I think, funding a world that works. It’s hoped that lightworkers will use their money for humanitarian purposes. So not to buy jet planes and chateaux in the south of France. But to roll up our shirtsleeves and get to work. […]
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) To return to the financial, we humanitarian philanthropists will be serving an interim function. Let me explain. In our present day, people still must work for their living and are being buffeted and bled dry by automation, wars, false-flag pandemics, toxic vaccines, weather-warfare, chemtrails, on and on. In our future, […]

How One Interior Designer is Helping — with Her Invoices Interior designers typically serve the 1%. Jessica Helgerson wants to turn that on its head. By Aimee Rawlins, Fast Company, February 10th, 2021 https://www.fastcompany.com/90602613/how-one-interior-designer-is-fighting-homelessness-with-her-invoices “The one percent” is most often used as a pejorative, shorthand for elite, out-of-touch vultures who prey on the working class.

As I approach the study of our culture as a planet, I begin to think about the subject in ways I’m familiar with – cultural universals, alternatives, specialties, and idiosyncracies; folk culture, popular culture – and right away, I find myself asking myself, is this what’s meant by Nova Culture? Doesn’t this approach to culture […]
From 2019. ‘It’s a Miracle’: Helsinki’s Radical Solution to Homelessness Finland is the only EU country where homelessness is falling. Its secret?

I’d now like to turn our attention for one post to the key switch in the financial paradigm from accumulating profit to sharing. I used to have trouble imagining how finances would work if we didn’t lend money. What would be the inducement for one person to give money to another? But of course I […]
CBS Sunday Morning, July 12, 2020 https://tinyurl.com/ybqrwtb8 September 1988, Shreveport, Louisiana: 20-year-old William David McKinney had been fatally shot by a white teenager. Racial tensions, already simmering, boiled over. In the aftermath, anger, frustration and pleas for change. The city was described as a “powder keg.” Thirty-two years later, that powder keg is exploding with […]
I listened to another lightworker give a rousing talk. Seeing how much her wisdom had deepened recently was like a good benchmark to measure how we’re all growing – and how fast we’re all growing.
