Toward a World that Works for Everyone
When I took the est Training in 1979, one of the statements that was made in it stayed with me from then till now. It was Werner Erhard’s declaration on responsibility: “Responsibility begins with the willingness to take the stand that one is cause in the matter of one’s life. It is a declaration not […]
Nick Santonastasso was born with Hanhart syndrome, a genetic disorder so rare that it only affected 12 people in the world at the time of his birth, eight of whom have passed away. Doctors only gave him a 30 percent chance to live at the time, and now he’s living to the fullest. Santonastasso […]
I consider this to be masterfully said. To say “to experience responsibility as a space” is the same, for me, as saying to experience love as a space. Ordinarily we’re in a denser form of 3/4D consciousness and we’re not capable of experiencing spaces or higher states of consciousness. Then suddenly the doors of our […]
_________________________ From The est Standard Training, published in Biosciences Communication, 1977, at https://wernererhardquotes.wordpress.com/tag/responsibility/. _________________________ Responsibility begins with the willingness to take the stand that one is cause in the matter of one’s life. It is a declaration not an assertion; that is, it is a context from which one chooses to live. Responsibility is not […]
I came across the Mother’s comment about the fate of dictators this morning. She said: “It is painful for a being that seeks power for themselves or power over another, whether it is a parent over a child, a husband over a wife, a man over an army. It matters not. “The yearning [for], the […]
Ram Dass is ready to die. David Marchese, New York Times, Sept. 1, 2019 httpss://tinyurl.com/y53tzcjf Photograph by Mamadi Doumbouya For more than 50 years, Ram Dass has watched as other nontraditional spiritual leaders have come and gone while he has remained. He has been active since the early 1960s, back when he was still known […]
As you know, I need to use this time to sandpaper some of my rougher qualities if I’m to be of use later on. Part of an Ascension ethnography is the cleansing or purification phase, known to all terrestrial students of enlightenment. However, things have changed now with the rising energies, it seems. Vasanas that […]
When we talk about the assumption of divine authority, it sounds as if we’re talking about a new sheriff in town. Perhaps we are. I’d like to look at “divine authority” as an aspect of taking charge of ourselves. I know others use the concept in ways different than that, but that’s what I’d like […]
I’m reaching the end of the road with anger-based strategies I use to get my way. So I’ve been observing myself and examining anger as a subject. If we look at anger, we’ll see that it’s employed in a relatively-unvarying fashion. A thought comes in or an image comes to our attention. The operator, the […]
www.voiceoffreedom.ca John was able to free himself from his past views and ways. It reminded me of a reading I had with Archangel Michael on December 11, 2012, through Linda Dillon, channel for the Council of Love, on not returning to the views and ways of the Third once we’ve pulled away from them. Here’s […]
www.voiceoffreedom.ca Recently, I was told about an “Iboga Retreat” in Costa Rica. Iboga is a root medicine native to Central West Africa used by the Bwiti people for thousands of years. I then went looking on the Internet and found an account of “John’s” experience at a similar retreat. Just to be very clear, neither […]
My experience of processing a vasana (1) is very much deeper than it was even a year ago. I’m experiencing one right now that is so deep, that by rights I should simply remain with the experience – not write – thanking my stars that it’s come up. But my mission is to share it. […]
I continue with my Ascension ethnography. One of the things I’m noticeing is that, when I considered any matter from the perspective of being a CEO of a large corporation, in the past, I always felt mixed emotions. My mind was divided. I had reservations. I was a house divided against itself. We have many […]
(Continued from Part 2/3.) Back to the question of whether to pay attention to what’s happening here or not to…. It’s a totally individual choice. I delve as deeply as I want to, and sometimes further than I want when a picture pops up that I wish I never saw. We seem to be growing […]
I’m seeing that a happy life requires us to eliminate our patterns that don’t work and refuse from then on to harm ourselves or other people. As we peel back the layers of the onion, we uncover our basic happiness and innocence, always there but hidden. That’s why the love in our hearts is so […]
