For me, those in opposition to same-sex marriage need to consider just one simple question, just one simple way of life: Do they love one another? Or do they hurt each other? Love has no gender identity. It matters not if a man loves a man, if a woman loves a woman, or if a […]

Politics: Human trafficking under attack in the House of Representatives Fantastic! Thank you Republican House for passing several bills preventing human trafficking!! Democrat or Republican, I trust this is an issue we can all agree on. We are most grateful: “Several bills passed the House of Representatives this week to combat human trafficking worldwide. Between […]
Golden Gaia News Roundup: February 2, 2015
Hello. Hello. Hello, beloved readers, happy Monday! Oh hold up now… isn’t “happy Monday” an oxymoron?! (wink wink) Hoping your weekend was grand, as mine was most amazing given I attended a Flower of Life workshop! Oh, enough about me –we’ll get plenty of time for that (LOL) …Let’s dive right in! International Finance: Croatia […]
Golden Gaia News Roundup: January 15, 2015
Happy Thursday, dear friends. Today, I heard a whisper on the icy-cold wind. It is time to start feeding the birds and squirrels again. I do not feed them all year long. I live in a space of love that is a wild tangle of indigenous plants. They provide a wealth of forage for all […]
Big Ideas – Part 2/2
(Concluded from yesterday) Enlightenment Around 1977, a second branch of things opened up for me when Sai Baba came to my attention. That’d be a very long story. Suffice it to say that I had two spiritual experiences connected with him, one of which left my hair standing on end. Going to India and visiting […]
Walking the Line
I mentioned in a previous article that I administered a statute as a human-rights decision maker. (1) What is it like to administer a law? The law in question was the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act of Canada and I was responsible for the provisions that applied to refugees. And that further led me into […]
The Reinvention of the Law – Part 6
Governments will be Cleansed We conclude our look at the reinvention of the law with an examination of changes in government, human rights and law enforcement. The next step in the reorganization of society is the cleansing of government. SaLuSa tells us: “[Next] are the governmental changes so that the right people represent you so […]
A Life of Unremitting Darkness and Pressure – Part 2/2
(Continued from Part 1.) When President Hamid Karzai goes to appoint members to the country’s human rights commission, he appoints “unqualified new commissioners, including a former Taliban government official who urged repeal of EVAW. A committee including representatives of key government institutions prepared a draft law that would have reinstated stoning as a punishment for […]
A Life of Unremitting Darkness and Pressure – Part 1/2
In March 2012, the Deepsea Challenger made a manned descent to the deepest known part of the ocean, the Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench. What they found at 35,700 feet was a world under such pressure and so lacking in light that it made the conditions of life difficult to imagine. What light there […]
Human Rights and Spiritual Realities
Ever since the Scientific Revolution wrested the public’s attention from flawed religious doctrines, the world has seen life through a paradigm called “empirical materialism.” That paradigm holds that only what can be seen, heard, touched, and felt is real. Anything invisible, insensible, untouchable is dismissed as unreal. It closes the door to such things as […]
Toward a World That Works for Women
Given the concern of readers expressed via “Contact Us” over gender crimes, persecution and inequality on the planet, and given our expressed intention to end these unworkable conditions by January 1, 2015, (1) I’d like to review some of the circumstances that exist for women today from a human-rights perspective. I respect the intention of […]
Stop FGM Now
We walk such a fine line here. Some readers write in and say they don’t want to read the news because it upsets them. Others write in in great distress asking if such-and-such an event is true and what can they do about it. Whom do we respond to? The only response we can make […]
Back from Vacation
Last week I fell into a malaise because I felt I had waited and waited to see the unworkable conditions in our world lift and yet they seemed to continue. I felt that I had to make up for lost time and actually do something to kick-start my own personal part in rebuilding Nova Earth. […]
Growth is the Order of the Day
I’m going through a creative explosion over here. And I may not write it up as well as I should. I’m feeling a real push towards something that is, to an extent, inchoate in me. It’s reorganizing my life. No doubt about that. It’s acceptable to me but many parts of it remain unknown. If […]
Globally, Universally
The notion that we must speak as globals rather than nationals to end gender persecution is definitely in the wind. Archangel Gabrielle urged it on An Hour with an Angel March 13, 2014. (1) Later Graham, Linda and I discussed what was said and decided that next week, we’d talk to Archangel Michael about acting […]
