Of Greece And Iceland

It is at the point where pain becomes too much to endure that we begin to seek solutions. Greece has been in economic pain for quite some time. Because of tremendous debt to the banks and austerity measures, unemployment is high while benefits are being cut. The screws have been put to the Greek people by the European Union in order to continue to squeeze every last bit of money from Greek pockets for the benefit of the banks. Look out, folks! The pain in Greece has become so bad they are on the verge of pulling an Iceland!!!

Greeks have already spoken out with their "No!" vote on bailing the banks out again. (This, to me, was an amazing feat in and of itself as I am convinced that most votes/elections have been rigged by the powers that be for years!!!) Now, as the European Union struggles to keep Greece within the fold and paying, the people are of Greece are speaking out against a new bailout deal using the term, "This is a coup." That's pretty strong language coming out of the seat of democracy!!!

This is it. This is the turning point. Either the Greeks accept the fact that the banksters (aka the European Union) are calling the shots and turning them into total serfs, or they will have to take a stand for change. They will have to make a stand for freedom and revolution.

Do not let the term revolution put you into fear!!! Even though history has shown us revolutions are violent, they do not have to be!!! The key here is to pull an Iceland. The good people of Greece have finally begun to wake up to the reality that is the banking industry. Like everywhere else, Greece has been sold fake loans that take more money from the people and place it in the hands of the banksters. The pain is so great they are rebelling against it. Just like the people of Iceland, Greece now has the chance to free themselves from the mafia!!!

It is time for the people of Greece to stand up to the banks once and for all!!! It is time for them to remove the threats to their politicians!!! It is time for them to nationalize their banks and bring back the drachma (indeed, there have been reports the drachma is once again in use in parts of Greece). It is time to prosecute and imprison all those bankers and politicians that stood to gain from draining money from the country!!! They may even need to write a new constitution.

Iceland shows us this change is possible!!! It may not be pretty at first. The Greek people will have to tighten their belts and rely on themselves for a while. Fortunately for them, they still have a wonderful tourist industry which can bring in much needed revenue from others countries.

Once the Greek domino has completely fallen, we will all be ready for the next countries to complete their transformations!!! As we have looked to Iceland--as we now look to Greece, know that change is coming! Do not fear that change, for what is coming is far better for the people of planet Earth than anything we can imagine now!!! Continue to hold the light!!!

The Revolution Is Spiritual!!!

The world we live in is severely troubled. A few people at the top of the food chain have more than they could possibly use over the course of thousands of lifetimes. The ones who are unfortunate enough to be on the bottom of the food chain live lives of desperation. Even those of us on the middle rungs struggle to make ends meet as there is often more month than paycheck. Here in the United States, we proudly proclaim our freedom while the chains of mortgages, loans, and jobs hang constantly over our heads. Deep down, we all know something is wrong and yet we can't agree on the solutions to fix it.

In the past, we have relied on violence to solve such problems--at least we have always believed that to be the case. After all, human beings are competitive and must fight to survive!!! Revolutions have pretty much always been bloody and costly. The word revolution brings up the idea of physical war and bloodshed for most people. The question is, what is the long term result of violent revolution? Overall, loss. Loss of life. Loss of resources. Loss of power for the side that loses. 

Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and expecting different results. If we really want to change the system to benefit ourselves and others, does violence make sense? Violent change hasn't lasted over the long term. Won't we end up with the same results? (Loss, loss and more loss!!!)

The revolution we require is a spiritual revolution! We need to overthrow the establishment, not with violence, but with thought! We need to begin asking questions that will help us see things from new perspectives and begin working within those new parameters! We need to seek out what is unknown and bring it into consciousness. We need to expose the truth and use this transparency to create a world where everyone has enough, IS enough!

We need to break the chains of our slavery through setting our intention and removing our consent. The chains that bind most of us in this world are spiritual chains, but they are still a means of keeping us under control and enslaved.

The revolution is spiritual. The change that is required is a change of heart and mind. Our weapons are truth and love. Unless we come to terms with this, we will continue to kill each other until no one is left standing.

The Revolution Is Here (And It Is Not What You Think)!!!

Lately, I have been obsessing over my DVD copy of "Mockingjay, Part 1", part of the Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. Under normal circumstances, I can watch a movie once (or twice if it's really good) then I won't want to watch it again for a long while. This time it's different, so I have to ask myself the question, "Why is it different this time?" I realize this is a message from spirit. There is something here I need to pay attention to.

The overall theme of the books/movies is slavery. In a post-apocalyptic United States, the people who have survived are subjected to harsh living conditions in order to give the ruling class, who live in a place known as the Capitol, a high standard of living. Because of a former rebellion, these slaves are also forced to give up two of their children every year to be slaughtered in a winner-takes-all televised killfest designed to be entertainment for the Capitol and a reminder of who is in charge for the slaves, known to all as the Hunger Games.

However, my current obsession runs to only the most recently released movie in the saga, "Mockingjay, Part 1". Why? As I sit and ponder the question, answers come.

This particular part of the story deals with civil war and revolution, which has been energized by the actions of the story's main character, Katniss Everdeen. This revolution contains the usual death and violence that has so characterized human uprisings in the past.

Here in the United States, I don't see the same fighting, violence or destruction of what we call revolution (although the media would display violent incidents in an attempt to make us think we are fighting other races or religions or sexual orientations). Still, what hits me (and why I believe I am obsessing) is the fact that my country and even my world are in the throes of a revolution. The difference is, the revolution is more one of thought.

Most of us in this world are not physical slaves or captives. However, we are mentally enslaved. We are enslaved by thoughts, by rules, by taboos, by judgments. Our chains consist of technology and jobs and mortgages and bank accounts and taxes. These things are so ingrained in us we no longer question the rightness of any of it--at least not with our heads.

Our hearts understand there is so much more. Our hearts are tapped into the unlimited place of Oneness. Where the brain sees limitations, the heart feels expansion. Where the brain sees confinement, the heart feels freedom. The heart understands possibility and knows there is much more to life than what has been presented.

The heart also understands violence is not required for positive change. One only needs to begin consciously asking the heart for answers and following the guidance it gives.

The time has come to stop fighting. The time has come to understand that we are much better together than separate. The time has come to heal our planet by making the choices that will benefit us all.

The revolution is here!!! It is the revolution of the heart!!!
Join me?!!!
