Dropping The Survival-Of-The-Fittest Mentality

Many people believe we live in a dog-eat-dog world where only the fittest survive. I am not one of those people. I believe we have been programmed to act that way, but that survival-of-the-fittest mentality is not our natural state.

Look at infants and small children. They cry when they hear another baby cry. The laugh when they hear another person laugh. I spent years working with small children, and I was always amazed at how perceptive they were when I was upset or hurt (and trying not to show it).

As humans, we have done enough damage to ourselves, each other and the planet. It is time to leave this destructive survival-of-the-fittest lifestyle behind and come together to create constructive and positive change. Our very survival depends upon our ability to come together with our fellow humans and work together. Side-by-side, hand-in-hand, we WILL make a difference!

Grow Some Balls And Stand Up To The Corruption!

I am angry! I am angry at blatant government corruption. I'm angry when I see politicians pass laws that literally hand taxpayer money to transnational corporations while our people are starving. I am angry at manipulated elections where only the chosen candidates are placed in office. If these candidates are not actually voted on through the ignorance of the people, the vote will be rigged in any and every way possible to ensure victory of the status quo. I am angry at an owned media, who uses nothing but lies and propaganda to brainwash We the People into believing everything is still fair and free. Mostly though, I am angry at my fellow citizens, who by this time have felt so much pain they know something is wrong but if they even choose to acknowledge it publicly they don't have the balls to do more than vote (which is friggin' rigged anyway)! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! I have a message for We the People! Grow some damn balls and stand up to the corruption! 

Voting is not going to reflect the will of the people until we can stand up as one against the manipulations and put a stop to them! Protest computer voting until the proprietary and patented black boxes used in the process are opened, inspected and the code gone over with a fine-tooth comb to make sure votes are counted accurately and for the person We the People honestly choose! Appoint citizen groups to stand over the vote counting process and make sure that all votes arrive at the counting location, no box is overlooked or thrown out, and no other irregularities happen. All political parties must be represented in this process as well as an independent group for control.

We the People need to be willing to read the leaked files that tell of blatant corruption of political officials. (Wikileaks is a good place to start!) We need to gather the information up into petitions signed by thousands of people that are then taken to the alphabet agencies who are supposed to protect us so they will be empowered to act on that information. There are people in these agencies who would like to do something about this corruption, but they do not feel they have the support of We the People backing them up and are afraid of the personal repercussions if not enough of us are willing to hold politicians' feet to the fire.

The fact of the matter is this: there are millions (billions even) of us and not so many of them. When we are willing to stand up to the establishment as one, there is absolutely no way they can stand against us. They already know this. That is why they have worked so hard to make us believe that everything is still on the up-and-up. That's why they own their media propaganda machine. That's why they pay off politicians and sometimes even kill people who are not willing to play their game.

If the world is going to change, We the People, have got to stand up and take responsibility for ourselves and work for change! We can no longer afford to sit back and allow things to happen to us. That's how the corruption became so ingrained in our system in the first place! It is our own apathy that has been our downfall.

It is time to grow some balls and stand up to the corruption! Until we choose to do this, we will continue to wallow in the filth and muck that slowly kills us all. Choose life! Be bold! Together, we will make a difference!!!

There are MORE of us than there are of them! STAND AS ONE!!!

One

Some of my best friends are African American. Through no fault of their own, they are born into a society that does not always value them as it should. Some of my white friends get offended when they hear about programs that favor minorities or when they hear African Americans promoting themselves or their businesses. Personally, I believe they need a little extra help and should promote themselves. The simple truth is because we still think with our minds and not our hearts, African Americans and other minorities can be treated as second class citizens.

I am a woman. While progress toward equality with men has been made in this country, it is not what it needs to be. Yes. Women can vote and hold public office. We can choose to marry or divorce. We have even made progress in career fields when it comes to being paid the same wage as a man doing the same exact job. Still, most of our progress has to do with allowing women to do the same things that men do. Equality for women in this country has nothing to do with seeing the qualities of women as equal to the qualities of men. Don't believe me? When was the last time you were encouraged to think with your intuitive heart over your rational mind? It is just not done because it is not thought of as worthy.

The fact of the matter is, when we see someone or something else as different than ourselves or outside ourselves, we cannot be whole. We are, in fact, separate and broken. Societies that are separate and broken do not get along. They have problems and struggles and fights. They do not have peace.

Essentially, we are at war with ourselves. We are at war because we do not understand that deep down we are all connected. At the level of the heart, we are all One.

It's time to bring divinity back into our own lives. It's time to remember who we are. It's time to bring back peace. We do that by recognizing one simple truth: we are One.

How Do You Look At The World?

I have been a people person from the time I was a small child. My parents are both outgoing, and they have always been great examples on how to love and accept other people--even people who are different from themselves. When I was growing up they introduced me to people from other cultures, and I enjoyed getting to know and understand those differences firsthand.

I was able to embrace and carry this philosophy into adulthood. I have been fortunate enough in this lifetime to meet people who have originated from all over the world, not to mention from various subcultures within the United States. I am lucky to have friends from many different countries, from all races, all religions, all political affiliations, all sexual orientations. I like to call myself an "equal opportunity friend". All I require for friendship is accepting me for who I am, just as I accept you, regardless of differences.

Unfortunately, not everyone has had it as easy as I have. Some people live in areas of the world that have experienced tremendous problems and suffering. These people have learned to live in fear. Even people here in the United States live in fear, much of it caused by listening to the news provided by the mainstream media about how bad things are in the world and even in this country.

If you look at the world through eyes of fear, you automatically live in a state of separation. Fear is the emotion that blocks you off and shuts you down from the rest of the world. Holding fear will not allow you to embrace others or their differences.

On the other hand, if you look at the world through eyes of acceptance and love, you allow yourself to embrace differences. You may not totally understand those differences. You may not really even like them. Liking differences is not required for acceptance and love. True love is open, accepting and inviting, regardless of differences. Love is also the doorway to peace and prosperity.

Note that holding fear is not the same as looking at problems. You can open your eyes to problems in order to find solutions without falling into fear. If your focus on the problem revolves around bringing light and love to it, you create solutions instead of separation.

How do you look at the world? Are you afraid of all those who are different from yourself, or are you able to look past those differences to embrace the heart of each one? Fear or love? The choice you make will either destroy you or bless you. Choose wisely.

On Tapping Into Your Genius

What do Thomas Edison, Salvador Dali and Albert Einstein have in common? The obvious answer is they were geniuses in their fields. However, I'm going to go with a not so obvious answer: daytime napping. What does daytime napping have to do with genius, you ask? Let me enlighten you.

A number of years ago, I became very fascinated by the science of brain wave states. Most people are aware there are different patterns of brain wave function depending on what activity someone is participating in. In the Beta brain wave state, a person is awake and alert with a brain wave cycle of 14 to 28 cycles per second. In an Alpha state, the brain cycles between 7 and 14 cycles per second. This is a state of deep relaxation where many people can fall into daydreams. In a Theta brain wave state, which cycles 4 to 7 times a second, you are extremely relaxed and your mind is beginning to tap into the unconscious, as when you are under hypnosis or in a light dream state. Delta waves are considered deep sleep and are between 0 and 4 cycles per second.

I had noticed in my own personal life that in those moments when I was sort of in the twilight between wakefulness and sleep I would feel very connected to God. Quite often amazing ideas and thoughts would appear in my mind at these same times. Bouts of inspiration you might call them. On a scientific level, this would be in the Theta brain wave state. When you are in a Theta state, your mind is freed from the rules and laws placed around you by society and you are able to connect to the greater mind of the One.

So what does this twilight sleep state have to do with Edison, Dali and Einstein? They were all well known nappers who each developed techniques for taking naps that allowed them to go into a Theta state but no further.

The story with Edison was that he would hold ball bearings in his hands while his hands were over a metal pail or saucer. He would then go in to a relaxed state to the point where he was actually on the verge of sleeping. The ball bearings would then drop out of his hands into the pail and create enough of a sound to wake him up so he was able to tap into this less conscious state for ideas without being overwhelmed by sleep. Dali and Einstein also had similar techniques that they used to wake themselves up just before they went into a deep sleep.

So what were they really doing? Power napping? In a manner of speaking, perhaps. I believe these three men all knew one thing. If they could get their minds calmed down and silent enough, they could begin to tap into the place where all knowledge and information exists: the One. Some scientists refer to this as the field, although there are many names it is called depending on your focus.

Need a little inspiration--a little genius--in your own life? Consider making meditation an everyday occurrence. By getting yourself used to being in a Theta brain wave state, you can tap into the vast stores of knowledge and information of the One. It's all about tapping into the field. Tapping into God.

Get connected...and allow yourself to tap into the genius that is you!!!

The Importance Of Connecting To Heart

I am once again drawn to the profound truths which can be found in movies. James Cameron's Avatar is one of those brilliant pieces that not only introduces universal themes but also speaks intimately to the soul. One of those themes centers on the idea we are all connected. The cool thing about Avatar is that it displays this connection on both a physical and a psychic level!

On the physical level, the tails of the Na'vi humanoids connected with animals to form a much more complete and telepathic link which enabled them to function as one entity.

They also made the same physical connection to the Tree of Souls, which was the physical representation of God on their planet, referred to as Eywa. Once connected directly to Eywa, the Na'vi were able to access all information contained within.

What I find so fascinating about the whole concept is this: Cameron shows how the Na'vi connect at a heart/soul level by giving the visual image of actual physical connection. To me, he is telling us we are all connected at some level. What becomes important in this connection process is the intent to connect in the first place. Once you allow yourself to connect, the actual connection becomes simple.

Our world is currently a world of separation. We are taught to identify ourselves by gender, by politics, by religion, by race, by culture, by sexual orientation, etc. We allow our differences to come between us, and most days we don't think twice about doing it. It is what we know.

For me, James Cameron takes us to a "fictional" place in order to for us to see how intimately we are connected. He makes us understand we are all the same underneath and that we can choose to connect and function as ONE entity!!!

As humans, our very real connection is the heart. The more we get quiet and listen to the guidance it imparts, the more we allow ourselves to take down the barriers that separate and enter a whole new world where everyone is able to work for the greater good!!!

Your heart is your connection to the One!!! Choose to connect today!!!

Connect To the Silence

I made this video over a year and a half ago, but I find it is as true today as it has ever been. It's time. Time to get quiet and listen. Time to focus on the wisdom and love found in your heart, which is your connection to the One. The answers are there...waiting for the day you take the initiative to find them.

You'll know it is the right voice when it leads you to love and peace and unity. It's a voice that allows you to not only understand your own infinite self-worth, but allows you to understand the infinite worth of others as well. Anything less is a distraction. Make it a point to protect yourself from any energy that seeks to distract you from your connection.

Know that the answers you seek are all there to be consulted, and they are available to you simply by asking. Take time every day to connect and listen to the silence. It will guide you to new and wonderful paths you never knew existed.
