Werner Erhard: Butterflies Can Explain How Caterpillars Came to Fly
In the course of a conversation with a reader, I became aware of the fact that Werner Erhard (1) had posted online one of the most stimulating books for humanitarian philanthropists I’ve ever read. Werner was … is … an enlightened humanitarian philosopher. He might call himself an ontologist, a student of being. I’d add […]
Trimming Down for Paradigm Shifts
Reposted from Oct. 2009. Enlightenment and Paradigm Shifts I said earlier that we don’t want ice on our wings when trying to take off in our plane or we’ll stall. Recent events have shown me that it isn’t just Ascension that may bring a “take-off” in our lives. We’ll be faced with the opportunity for […]
Laying New Track – Part 1/2
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 […]
Laying New Track – Part 2/2
(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 […]
The Challenges of Lightworker Leadership
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 […]
Killing for Market Share: The Old Paradigm in Business – Part 2/2
(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” […]
Killing for Market Share: The Old Paradigm in Business – Part 1/2
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 […]
Out with the Old and In with the New – Part 1/2
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 […]
Out with the Old and In with the New – Part 2/2
(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 […]
Celestial Consciousness Raising
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 […]
Crystal Clear
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 […]
To be Lasting, World Freedom Must be Won by Peaceful Means
Granted we’ve never gone this way before (I’m referring to rising energies and worldwide protests, not to peaceful revolutions) and yet face regimes that have spilled our blood, who will not yield power easily, nonetheless the only path that will permanently bring us the freedom we desire is the path of peace. For centuries, perhaps […]
