Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Paramahansa Yogananda once said something that changed my life and how I thought. Yogananda said, “The absence of violence is not peace.” I had to have a long think about that one. I come from an abusive family, so the absence of abuse felt peaceful to me and I mistook the absence of abuse as […]
One would have to go deeply into human motivation and behavior to find the actual root of human conflict. I feel the need to inquire here whether I’m able to see to the root or not. Humans Respond to Their Feelings First of all, of all stimuli, human beings seem to respond the most to […]
Why are we as a society still allowing war? Innocent people are starving, maimed, killed on a daily basis. Below is news of the recent peace talks in Sweden where the UN is introducing confidence-building measures between warring factions in Yemen that could pave the way for successful peace strategies in the future and a […]
Below are 3 stories of hope from around the world. As a drop in the ocean with its ripple outwards can affect the entire ocean, so can we with our service — supporting each other as the world transitions to Divine Right Alignment, understanding the 100th Monkey Effect — being kindness, forgiveness, compassion wherever we […]
Bishop Michael Curry’s sermon at the Royal Wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is a gem. Love is changing the world in wonderful ways, even the staid royal traditions. Whatever your thoughts or opinions on the Royals may be, something happened on Saturday that is evidence of Love changing the world around us. We […]
Archangel Michael Peace is Breaking Out Upon Your Planet “It is not a matter of looking back and seeing who is at fault and who is at blame. The key lies in looking forward in what can be done rather than what has been done.” An Hour With an Angel, May 3, 2018 Linda Dillon: Channel […]
What exists when worry is absent? Peace. Which do we prefer? I’m in the middle of an experience of peace. In fact I truncate it by writing to you but it’s more important to record these things than to go for the fulness of them. (1) I was worrying. About the usual. And somehow, in […]
I’ve told the story a number of times, from Werner Erhard. A man aboard a train looked out the right window and saw that the train was heading for disaster. He warned the other passengers. All the passengers joined him on the right side of the train and looked. They conferred among themselves but no […]
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) Here’s another new rail. Another name for a world that works for everyone, seen from my view, is a “cooperative commonwealth.” A cooperative commonwealth is distinctly new track. It was first recommended in the early 20th Century. (1) A Canadian political party calling itself the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation was largely […]
If we can allow ourselves to dream out loud, how might a global network of light stewards of the Mother’s wealth operate? It could be a loose confederation of people, all alerted to common opportunities, much as crowd funding operates. The individual lightworker would then make the choice of what to support and what not. […]
I remember hearing Ram Dass long ago say that truth used to be a luxury, but now it had become a necessity. There are lots of things that used to be luxuries which have become necessities. I saw one today. I was doing something for another and I saw I was doing it with an […]
(Concluded from Part 1.) Sometimes even failing in the chase paid off. Dealmaker Samuel J. Heyman “never bagged his prey, but he pulled down about $500 million in profits from his investments,” reported Business Week. We would be “hard put to find a dealmaker whose instincts were so beautifully in sync with the quick-buck mentality” […]
As financial wayshowers, one of our tendencies is to look to see how people did business in the past and then to borrow from them. But we have to consider that those who went before succumbed to some pretty shallow and often corrupt business practices and have very little in the way of philosophy to […]
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 […]
