The Big Picture

I don’t know about you, but I am not happy every single second of every day. I experience roller coasters of emotion like everybody else, but I have discovered something that makes the job of staying happy a little easier. It revolves around the concept of wholeness.

Wholeness is a feeling of completeness, a feeling that everything is right. Unfortunately, our belief systems and our philosophies support fragmentation, and a feeling of separateness from life. Fragmentation leads to a feeling of incompleteness, and then you find yourself on a descent into negative emotion.

Fragmentation

We are told that it is not possible to feel happy all the time, because the universe itself is polarized. This is an absolute fact. Hot–cold, weak–strong, light– dark, positive–negative, etc. However, these are qualities that describe matter and energy! Of course, it appears to us in our physical incarnations that we ARE matter and energy, does it not? Even for those who understand our spiritual heritage, the physical experience has led us to formulate and buy into core beliefs like these:

· Souls are born with original sin (or karma). [tainted before you ever begin]

· You have to struggle and work hard for everything you get. [the universe is lined up against you]

· Challenge builds character. [only by overcoming the negative can you reach the positive]

· You’ll get your reward in heaven. [you can’t really find joy while on earth, so shut up and get to work]

· Human nature is animalistic and primitive; therefore, human beings need to be controlled and disciplined. [you can’t know what’s best for you, because your instincts are inherently flawed]

· If you don’t behave you should be punished. [thus reinforcing negative behavior]

· Things never go as smoothly as you plan them [obstacles are inevitable]

· And finally, the formula that succinctly expresses mankind’s worldview: All good things must come to an end. [But the bad stuff, that can last forever].


All of these beliefs lead to a feeling of separation, and fragment our consciousness. Is it any wonder that this sort of thinking extends even into how we define consciousness itself?

We divide the psyche –– something that no one has ever been able to define, precisely because it is non–physical –– into artificial compartments, such as the ego, the id, the subconscious, the conscious, the super–conscious, the “inner child,” and many more. We subdivide our psyche into separate boxes like we were cutting up a pie. We then assign these parts magical powers to influence our behavior in undesirable ways.

For example, we are taught that the ego is bad, and that we should strive to overcome and transcend it. We are taught that the inner child is wounded and needs healing, that the id contains harmful negative emotions, and that the subconscious is a vast, murky repository of neurotic and unhealthy impulses that can affect our behavior without our conscious consent. If these aspects of our consciousness are part of our very nature, then how can we possible achieve wholeness? Well, we cannot!

This sort of fragmentary thinking regards our own psyche as a battleground of competing factions, and leads inevitably to a feeling of tension and frustration. We must then invent complicated processes and 12–step programs to try to overcome this self–created conflict. No wonder there are so many self–help books, seminars, and courses out there!

If you understand your spiritual nature, you understand that these artificial designations of the psyche don’t exist, and that you aren’t any of them. These psychic constructs have been invented by well intentioned people in an attempt to explain the complex gamut of human behavior; but they have somehow taken on a life of their own, just like the “monsters of the id” in the famous science fiction movie, “Forbidden Planet.”

Wholeness

What I have discovered is that a feeling of wholeness can result from openness, honesty, and transparency. A person can begin to regain wholeness by simply accepting themselves, and being honest and open with themselves.

Wholeness does not mean that you have to be perfect in every moment. The road to wholeness begins by understanding that it is perfectly OK to feel what you are feeling, even if you feel rotten.

I have discovered the value of simply being myself in every situation. At work, at home, with friends, in public, at family gatherings, during my radio shows. For me, it is a great temptation to alter my behavior to suit the crowd I am currently interacting with. My main motivation is to help and support others, and that often leads me to want to keep things going smoothly. What I’ve found, however, is that although it’s easy to “go along to get along,” I find myself wearing different masks depending upon which social situation I’m in. And that is very tiring!

So I finally just gave it up. I decided to be me, even if I’m feeling grumpy, and no matter who I’m with. I’ll tell people, “you know, I’m feeling irritable right now, so just bear with me.” I’ve discovered that people appreciate that sort of honesty, and a funny thing happens. When I’m open to people, even when I’m not feeling so great, I get out of my funk a lot faster. There’s something about an open and transparent person that other people can really relate to. And you know why? Because we’ve all been there! I’ve discovered that when I’m openly and honestly angry, it takes the edge off my negative emotion, people can understand me in the moment, and I begin to feel better a lot quicker.

What I’m trying to say is that openness, transparency, and honesty is the road to wholeness. It is the road to personal integrity, for that’s what wholeness is. And you can begin to practice this right now.

To act in this way is bringing out an inner strength I didn’t know I had.

I’ve also discovered that baring your soul to people takes a lot of courage. I’ve discovered that being open to people can only come from a position of inner strength. It’s only when I am frustrated inside that I am truly angry, and that frustration almost always comes from not being honest and open with myself, or being afraid that others will not perceive me the way I would like. But of course, being dishonest puts a mask between me and the world, and that naturally turns people off!

I’ve found that I can be polite and social, and still express who I am in the moment. Openness doesn’t mean obtuseness if you are genuine, authentic, and are willing to open yourself up.

Every one of us is a perfected spiritual being. That is the quality of the creative principle, which is non–physical, non–polarized, and exists in a state of bliss. But we are also human, and even though it is easy to slide along by conforming to society’s version of “normal,” “normal” doesn’t really feel that great a lot of the time. Successful and happy people go their own way, not in a resistive and “f – you” fashion, but in a way that open them up to themselves, and to the world at large.

My spiritual guides tell me that when you fully accept yourself, you will feel bliss.
They say that polarity dissolves when there is a feeling of wholeness, and that wholeness is just the acceptance of who you are. They are always telling me how important feelings are, and that everything worthwhile in life boils down to a feeling.

Love is a feeling, happiness is a feeling. Success is the feeling of having accomplished something worthwhile. Integrity is a feeling of wholeness and internal strength. You feel good when you help another because giving touches the soul. Everything we strive for in life is motivated by the desire to feel love and happiness, and that begins with openness and self–honesty.

The question is, how is it possible to maintain a sense of wholeness while still living a crazy life on earth that exposes us to such great polarity?

By recognizing that you do not have to think a certain way, or to be a certain way. It is sufficient, in other words, to be yourself. What I mean by “being yourself” is simply the acceptance of who you are, right now. All of you! This will generate the feeling of wholeness.

I am talking about a feeling of wholeness, not a condition of wholeness!

Wholeness doesn’t mean that your life has to be perfect! Your life might be a disaster, but you must begin by being honest with yourself emotionally. If you feel rotten in this moment, that is perfectly fine. That feeling occurs because you do not fully accept yourself. The solution is not to beat yourself up or take another seminar or search for the "secret" to success.

The way to get out of that trap is to be open and transparent. Pull back those psychic curtains, unlock those emotional doors, throw away those masks, and open up those windows of feeling! Air out your psyche. Throw away all of those psychic boxes marked “ego” “subconscious” “inner child,” etc., and feel the fresh air of life force flowing through you.

Begin by deciding to just be who you are, no matter how that is, or how it might affect others. I think you’ll find that being yourself is the greatest gift you can give to yourself, and everyone you interact with.

Meditation to promote the feeling of wholeness:

Sit or lie anywhere you like, as long as it is comfortable.

Imagine that you are surrounded by a sphere of soft, golden light, and that you are inside this sphere. Why a sphere? Because the Sphere is the geometric equivalent of wholeness. It is smooth, unbroken and has no beginning and ending. The golden energy within this sphere penetrates and warms every cell in your body. Feel yourself as whole and complete. Fragmentary thoughts and emotions simply dissolve, and you feel a delicious warmth and a feeling that all is right within you. You may, if you are a sensitive, see or feel color.

Once you feel this energy, you can get up and go about your business. This feeling should stay with you for a while, because the color gold has the peculiar property of warmth and wholeness. It is a very fundamental energy that lasts a long time, like a warm breakfast on a cold day.

You can do this exercise at any time. You do not have to close your eyes. Just imagine being surrounded by golden light and feel the sense of completeness that accompanies it.

The Scale of Emotion / Vibration and how to use it

In a vibrational universe, all things are vibrational in nature, including thoughts and emotions. Fortunately, emotions can be graphed on a scale from lowest to highest. This scale is one of the most important life tools in your toolbox. This scale is actually 3 dimensional. It represents
1) the amount of life force energy a person is allowing
2) emotional well–being
3) intelligence, intellectual ability
As you go up the scale you experience increasing amounts of all three factors. As you go down the scale, you experience less.

Excerpted from the book, The Vibrational Universe

“Barb and Jill
(The full conversation from chapter 2. Barb calls her friend Jill and discovers she is feeling down about herself. Barb uses the scale of emotion / vibration to cheer her friend up)

“What’s wrong Barb?” says Jill.
“Oh, I just don’t care anymore,” Barb says apathetically.
Jill is just about to fire off an angry comment about Thorpe, (Barb’s former boyfriend) but she realizes that apathy is very low down on the scale and doesn’t want to overwhelm her friend, so she says gently, “It’s Thorpe isn’t it?”

Emotion Attitude
Apathy “I give up.”
Grief
Propitiation “I’ll do anything to make it up to you!”
Sympathy “I feel your pain.”
Fear
Anxiety
Hidden Hostility He's smiling in your face and stabbing you in the back.
Callousness “Tough for you. Just do it.”
Anger Out of control, lashing out at the world.
Antagonism “Hey! Come over here and let me kick your butt!” Feistiness.
Boredom/Complacency Yawn
Conservatism “Things are fine just the way they are”
Interest “Hey that's cool!”
Enthusiasm “Wow! Let's do that again!”
Exhilaration “I feel fantastic!!!!!”
Serenity/bliss Complete connection to Source, or God force, or life-force energy. This is the feeling consciousness has in its native, non–physical state.

Fig. 2-5. The Emotional Scale

Suddenly Barb bursts into tears, an activity that used to really anger Thorpe. “Darn woman,” he’d think, “what’s wrong with her now?” But Jill knows that grief is the next harmonic of vibration up on the scale of emotions, so to her Barb’s reaction is perfectly logical. Barb is wailing on about Thorpe and how lonely and rejected she feels. Jill is a good counselor, and even though she thinks to herself, “You’re a whole lot better off without that loser honey,” she says nothing and lets Barb vent. She knows that although being around grief is uncomfortable, matching Barb’s vibration would result in failure, for two vibrations of grief would just reinforce the other, sticking both women right in it. Jill knows that only by maintaining a high emotional level can she be of any use to Barb at all.

After several minutes Barb is cried out and looks up at her friend. Jill recognizes that Barb is poised at an emotional brink; and that a word or gesture from her can send her friend up the scale, or downward again. She also knows that people can hit an emotion and pass by it very quickly on the way up or down, so she’s not sure exactly where Barb is going next, but she knows it’s going to be some version of negative emotion, and is prepared for it.

Jill says, “You had some good times together, didn’t you?” hoping to bring Barb up a little. She doesn’t say, “Still feeling sad about Thorpe?” because that might stick Barb back in grief.
Barb says, sympathetically, and a little defensively, “Yeah we did! I remember the time we went to the putt–putt golf course and he put his arms around me…”
Jill let’s Barb go on a bit, because she recognizes the emotion of sympathy, which is a little bit up from grief.

After a time Jill suggests, “Maybe you’ll meet somebody else.”

A look of anxiety comes over Barb’s face and she says, “Do you really think I can? All the guys I’m attracted to treat me like crap.”

Jill immediately recognizes the vibration of fear, and understands that it is a step up. “Yes I think you can,” she says. “You’re such a great person.”

Barb says fearfully, “I don’t think so. Thorpe didn’t think so anyway. Maybe I’m doomed to be lonely forever.”

Jill puts a little anger in her voice and says, “Remember how he cussed you out at the amusement park when you didn’t want to go on the rollercoaster?” That was a little reach by Jill, because anger is the next major harmonic on the scale, but it could backfire and put Barb right back into grief. Even if it does, Jill knows it’s not a problem, for it just means Barb needs to cry a little more and fully release it. Barb’s face is a study in emotion as she goes up to anger, down to grief and up to fear again. But Jill’s statement hit home, because Jill knows something about Barb’s life and how her friend thinks.

Barb remembers many more incidents almost as bad, and her face hardens. “That bastard,” she says.

Jill is secretly thrilled, for her regard for Thorpe is like a gooey mess on the kitchen floor, but she keeps her opinions to herself and recognizes Barb has reached callousness, and that if she’s successful, the dam will burst. Jill hates anger but she steels herself for it anyway, knowing it’s the next harmonic. After probing around a bit on that subject, Barb starts screaming. “Did I ever tell you what he said to me after I made dinner for him???@!@!!” etc. This goes on for a while as Barb recounts all the times Thorpe was mean to her. Jill is holding it together in the face of Barb’s anger, even when her friend picks up a glass of water and hurls it against the wall. Jill knows that even if the session ended right now, a lot of progress has been made, for anger is a big step up from apathy.

After a while Barb calms down and begins to tease herself about Thorpe. “Maybe I should go over to his house and put a dent in his truck.” All of a sudden she bursts out laughing, realizing that Thorpe liked his new truck, and paid a lot more attention to it, than he ever did to her.

Barb says, “Why did I ever hook up with that guy?”
Jill smiles and says, “I don’t know sweetheart, but I do know that there are plenty of guys out there a lot better than him.”
Barb says, “There better be!”

She’s feeling a lot better now and Jill suggests they go out and get something to eat. Barb is eager to talk some more to her friend and agrees. Jill hopes to get her up to at least interest on the subject of the opposite sex.

(Occasionally I will post channeled spiritual messages here, from the Interview With Spirit program on Blog Talk Radio. (Hear the show every Thursday at 4PM Eastern time US)

Our message to you this week is about upset, and forgiveness. We take this message directly from Ken’s life.

This week, Ken was upset with Neil, because he has decided to leave the Interview with Spirit program.
Ken felt betrayal and loss, before he found his balance once again.

The question is, How do you regain your balance and overcome emotional pain? How does forgiveness help you to do that, if at all?

Forgiveness begins the process of re–connecting with love. It requires a decision to release the emotional pain you are in, and that can be a very big decision, for a strong vibration entrains similar thoughts to it. When you are upset you feel surrounded by emotional pain, do you not? That is literally true! When two people have a relationship, an energetic connection is established. Imagine filaments of subtle energy reaching out from the chakras, or energy centers, of each person and into the other. When one person severs that connection, the other feels something missing. This is the origin of the feeling of loss or abandonment.

Now we want you to understand that that connection is never broken!

Although the other withdraws their energy from you, you are still connected to them! Neil may put up blockages or barriers to Ken that he can feel, but Neil can never alloy Ken’s affinity for Neil, for it is up to Ken to break his connection to Neil, do you see? The actions of the other are an invitation to break a spiritual connection, but only you can decide to do that from your end!

The power of love, the fundamental and most powerful vibration in the universe, includes and embraces all other vibrations. Deciding to remain in affinity is the definition of strength. Refusing to permit a diminution of your affinity for anyone or anything is the definition of power, and personal integrity. And forgiveness is the first step on the path to regaining your equilibrium. Forgiveness is that first but very important step to regaining your personal power.

We say first step, because in forgiveness there is still upset with another, but when you forgive, you are 90% of the way toward love. Forgiveness overcomes the inertia of your vibrational upset, and makes it so that you can move forward. The decision to forgive is the hardest one! It is literally the most painful decision, because you are immersed in emotional pain! But like a crack in the door, forgiveness lets in that first ray of light to penetrate the darkness.

We tell Ken that his upset had nothing to do with Neil, and everything to do with his own decisions, beliefs, and the consequent personal vibration that he resonates to.
Ken did not want to hear this at first. “That is absurd,” Ken said. “If your boss insults you, or your partner hurts your feelings, or someone acts in a way that betrays trust, that is on them, not on you.”

That is precisely the point. All of you have free will! You cannot determine the actions of another, but you CAN determine how you react to another. It all depends upon whether you decide to withdraw your own feeling of affinity. We tell you that you cannot have a relationship, even a casual one, without the presence of affinity. And affinity means that both of you resonate to similar things.

You always make a conscious decision to withdraw your affinity from another. You may not recognize it, because a thought occurs in no–time. Thought is spiritual energy, and the decision to withdraw your affinity from another can happen so fast that you dismiss it.. We tell you that your subconscious mind does not dictate your actions. When you become mindful enough, you begin to understand that you are truly sovereign. You begin to reach that place of stillness that is your powerful, creative source.
Dear ones, all interaction, all relationships, are a dance of vibration! Your thoughts, beliefs and feelings determine the pattern of energy that surrounds you, and how others perceive you, and react to you. When you become upset with another, you strengthen the unwanted vibration that caused the upset in the first place!

To forgive is to pardon another for inappropriate actions toward ones self; but as we have said before in previous messages, there are no inappropriate actions! This is something human beings find very difficult to accept, for it is easy to point to pain and suffering. This pointing, however, strengthens the vibration of suffering. It is a circular vibrational reinforcement, and is precisely what occurred for Ken, and what has been occurring on your planet for thousands of years.

There are ALWAYS good reasons to become upset; we do not deny that. If Joe gets out of bed feeling surly one morning, he may come to work with a chip on his shoulder and insult his employees. If you are one of Joe’s employees, there are two ways to approach him: the most obvious one is to accept his invitation and match his apparent vibration. “Well get out of my face, Joe! Who do you think you are? Just because you are my boss doesn’t mean you can gratuitously insult me!”

The other is to recognize that Joe has gotten off on the wrong foot, and smile. “Hello, Joe, I can see you’re a little grumpy this morning. Anything happen last night?” Soon the boss is telling you about the upset he had with his wife, he blows off some steam, and leaves. Here is what we call the matching of TRUE vibration. What is true vibration? It is the underlying, foundational feeling of love and recognition of a fellow spirit playing the Game of Earth. When you identify this fundamental vibration, it subsumes the lower, apparent vibration, and the lower emotion dissolves. Love is the healing vibration. It is so powerful because it is who you are, and reminds the other of their intimate connection with you.

All of you are spiritual comrades. The warriors in battle, or those who play sports, or compete in business, soon bond together strongly and form a team, a “band of brothers” (or sisters). This feeling is called camaraderie. Camaraderie comes from shared experience, and is a recognition, on the deepest possible level, of your shared divine spiritual origins.

All of you on earth are spiritual warriors, playing a challenging and magnificent game. Oh, if you could only see yourselves as we see you! Imagine a spiritual mirror in front of you, with your own person angel guide holding it. Isn’t it beautiful? We hope you can see or feel a little bit of your own magnificence and power. This is your true, spiritual vibration, and it resonates within every cell, every atom of everything in the universe.

How often do you resonate to the apparent vibration, and not the true one, in your relationships?

Last week we talked about your pets, and how easy it is to feel love for them. Remember that the angry one, the upset one, has temporarily turned away from love and from himself or herself. He or she is presenting you with an image or a mask that covers the true self, and is asking you to resonate to that image, just as our friend Joe did. He or she is saying, ”will you play this game of upset with me? Perhaps we can find adventure in this drama together.”

There is nothing wrong with playing this game, of course, and many do. But you know better than we, that love and joy feels better than anger and upset. Anger and upset only feel appropriate when you have already been resonating to them for a long enough time.

Forgiveness begins the process of releasing your own upset. In other words, forgiveness is much more about you than it is about the other. In order to forgive, you must first recognize your own fundamental vibration of love, which is your true self, and let it in. That feeling is then recognized by the one on the other end of the communication line. Forgiveness, in other words, begins to dissolve the upset with the other.

Forgiveness is a powerful subject, because it begins the process of a return to love, and your own personal integrity. When you decide to forgive, you have already decided to step back into your zone of power. This zone of power is peaceful, but strong, whereas the lower emotions are turbulent.

If there is anyone in your life with whom you are upset, begin now to forgive. Remember that forgiveness is most beneficial to you! So do it for yourself, and feel better!

What is the difference between integrity and criminality?

The difference is that one is open and confident, the other requires secrecy and results in insecurity. Before one decides to abandon integrity there is already a pulling away from trenchant and correct observation. Secrecy requires a veil of obscurity.

For example, an honest business person keeps a set of books that describe the activities of the business. An honest person would never think of keeping two sets of books, because he or she wants an accurate representation of his business.

A criminal, on the other hand, keeps two duplicate sets of books. One to show the tax man and the auditor and the stockholders, the other he hides. He must hide the second set, because behind the veil of secrecy he is engaging in illegal activities, or cheating his customers or stockholders in some way.

Secrecy always results in a lowering of intelligence.

This is because secrecy obscures truth.

Double–dealing is perfect word for such a fellow, for his stock in trade is confusion and obfuscation. This occurs through unnecessary duplication.

Geometrically speaking, open–ness is the One, and duplicity is the two.

Funny how that works, is it not, for without two–ness a universe could not exist! A universe by definition must involve polarity, or “double–dealing.” In mitosis, a cell divides, creating a duplicate cell. There is nothing wrong with this, unless the intent is to hide or confuse.
In a cancer, for example, cell division occurs too rapidly, creating too many new cells in a disorganized fashion, killing the organism. Ordered division or duplication is growth, unordered duplication is chaos and illness.

Integrity is strength, for an honest person sees clearly, with open eyes. Duplicity is weakness, for it sullies and pollutes perception, weakening conviction and intention. Intention to harm may be powerful, but it is always misdirected! Thus the seeds of destruction are contained within the criminal.
Lets make a diagram of this:

You ––––––––––––> A.

You create some thing –– a business, a product, whatever. You are totally open and transparent. Anyone who looks at A can see that its is A with no hidden agendas. Everything is up front. You are proud of what you have done, and you want everyone to see it.

Shady character Jake the Snake also creates something:

Jake ––––––––––> A

But Jake has ulterior motives. He’s trying to fool people. For Jake, his business is just a cover for some hidden agenda. Maybe he’s a politician who likes power, and he’s trying to sell his political campaign as something that will “help the people” or “move the nation forward.” Maybe he’s an embezzler who keeps two sets of books. What happens?
There are now TWO creations, not one: the front, and the hidden:

Hidden Duplicate <–––––––– Jake –––––––> A

Two poles set up an energetic gap. If two things were exactly the same, they would BE the same thing. Therefore, A and Hidden Duplicate are different and there is an energy imbalance, causing a flow between them.

But of course, people look at A and say, “there’s something fishy going on here.” That’s because Jake isn’t open and honest about his business. He’s got two sets of books. People pick up on what he’s trying to hide! You can FEEL the energy moving from A to Hidden Duplicate and back again. it exudes out from Jake’s every pore, no matter how hard he tries to hide it. That fake smile doesn’t fool an honest being! The best crime fighters can pick up on this energy and it will lead them to Jake’s second set of books, and he winds up in jail.

Because Jake is lying, he has to create another lie to support the inauthentic structure he has built. When George Bush lied about WMD’s in Iraq, he had to create another lie: that Saddam was linked to Al–Qaeda. Then when that was exposed ,he created another lie, and another, and another…that’s what happens when you are not open and transparent. Your lies create more and more lies, and more and more energy begins to flow between them. Soon you have a structure that is, like a cancer cell, totally out of control:

Click Here to see image

This is duplication in the form of duplicity.
When you create something that is open and transparent, however, order and logic results. This is how the universe itself is built. Healthy cells divide and grow with perfect order. Atoms come together based upon geometric order.

Lying and cover–ups are what Marx and Lenin called the Dialectic:
Thesis–antithesis–synthesis. The Leninist model, however, is built upon duplicity and deception. The thesis is the apparency: A. The hidden agenda is the antithesis, B. This leads inevitably to a synthesis built upon falsehoods, each of which requires the creation of another falsehood:

Click Here to see image

In this diagram, each synthesis takes Jake further away from the truth. Chaos and disorder is the inevitable result. Jake begins to feel very uncomfortable, and he can’t figure out why. Because he is trapped in his lies, Jake’s solutions always revolve around his current vibration, and never result in a good solution.

Example: The economy is in a recession. The dollar is weak because so many have been printed and borrowed over the past 50 years. Inflation is rising as a result.

The President announces an “economic stimulus package” and claims that creating more money –– which is what the stimulus package does –– will “benefit the economy.” The President knows that this is a lie. An economic stimulus package will only increase inflation, leading to further economic erosion.

To understand this, pretend you are playing a game of monopoly. The “bank” has only a limited supply of money. Let’s say that it costs $10,000 to buy Park Place and $500 to buy Ventnor Place. The poor players in the game are sick and tired of the rich folks and their domination. So they convince the Bank to print more money. “If everybody had more money, we’d be better off,” they say. So the Bank doubles the money supply from $50,000 total to $100,000. Now the poor people have enough money to buy Park Place, right? Wrong!!! That’s because Park Place now costs $20,000 instead of $10,000. So no one is better off. In fact, the poor are worse off because their money buys less. Instead of a loaf of bread costing $4, it now costs $8. They don’t make any more money at their job than before, but now everything is twice as expensive.

Richard Nixon imposed wage and price controls in the early 1970’s to stop inflation, but of course that didn’t work, because rising prices aren’t the cause of inflation. Increase in the money supply is the cause of inflation: too much money bidding up the price of products and services.

Think about it: if it costs a shopkeeper $3 to buy a loaf of Wonder Bread, she can sell it for $3.25 and make a reasonable profit. But if she has to pay $6 for a loaf of Wonder Bread, she has to raise prices to $6.25.

Is it the fault of the shopkeeper that prices are going up? Is she a greedy price–gouging profiteer? Of course not!

The blame lies with the Congress –– who spend more money every year than the gov’t takes in –– and the Fed, who continually print more money to cover up the politician’s lack of integrity.
Criminality ALWAYS leads to chaos, confusion and disorder. When you ask dishonest people to explain themselves, you get more lies, because the entire structure of their lives is utterly dependent upon more lies to sustain it!

By it’s very nature, duplicity creates illness and pain and economic and political turmoil.
A fine line exists between duplicity and duplication. Both words involve creation, which is essential to the very existence of the universe itself. Both words stem from the Latin duplicare, to double. But the manner of doubling makes all the difference!
Honesty and openness creates transparency and order. People LOVE to look at something and be able to see it for what it is. “I love ACME Corp. Their products are so well–made, and they always deliver on time. And when something goes wrong, I know I can always call up and get my problem handled satisfactorily.”

Privacy is over–rated, folks. Openness is strength. Only someone who truly has nothing to hide can be unafraid. If you are afraid, you are dishonest in some area of your life: most likely, the area in which you experience fear.

If you are ever in doubt about how to act, act honestly and aboveboard. BE honest and aboveboard. Avoid lies.

As we have seen above, lies and secrecy create an energetic structure that quickly moves out of your control. You WILL be found out!

The more open you are, the stronger you will feel.

That’s why therapy, when it is done correctly, is so beneficial: the unburdening process is just the acknowledging of secrets; bringing them out in the open, for inspection.

That person is truly strong who can allow others into every nook and cranny of his or her life. The most successful people are those who have bared their souls!
When the criminal is confronted by the truth, he or she very often caves. That’s because it requires so much energy and work to keep lies in place. it drains you, makes you weak. Whereas a person who is open and honest knows who he is and what he is doing, and can point proudly to his creations, and his life.

The phrase “crime doesn’t pay” isn’t some moralistic phrase. It’s the absolute truth. Sure, criminals make money. But what good does it do them? The criminal who lies and kills for money is never satisfied. He always wants more, he is always fighting with others to keep his possessions from other crooks who are vibrationally the same as he is. That’s the Law of Vibration and the Law of Attraction at work. Such people have lost themselves in their own lies.

We are seeing a great awakening of consciousness in the world today. The rocks underneath the “national security” apparatus are being lifted, exposing the cockroaches who have, through their own version of the dialectic, created chaos and disorder for their own temporary benefit. If you are interested in politics, read the narratives of Christopher Story, one of the bravest people on earth, who is exposing corruption in the very highest places. These exposes may seem strident on the surface, but if you look beneath you will see their beauty, for they expose the light of Truth to the darkness.

Here is a Spanish version of the blog post "Motivation" which was posted in October 20, 2007
Thanks Karina!

Motivación

¿Cómo te motivas a ti mismo para hacer lo que deberías hacer?

¿Cómo te motivas a ti mismo para hacer las cosas que quieres?

La motivación es una de las áreas más populares en el campo de la auto superación. Los conferenciantes inspiracionales son aplaudidos por su habilidad de hacerte sentir maravillosamente bien. Pero, si eres como yo, ese estado desaparece pasado un momento. Entonces, ¿qué haces?

Muchos de los programas de motivación son las “fórmulas de 10 pasos” u otra recetas - como estructuras que hacen que lograr el éxito suene simple y fácil de lograr.

El problema es que están basados en lo que funcionó para otra persona pero ¡no funcionan para ti! Si fuese de otra manera, ¿Por qué estás leyendo este artículo? Si las fórmulas motivacionales fueran efectivas no habría tantos libros, seminarios y artículos escritos sobre el tema.

Los programas motivacionales sólo son efectivos cuando te alinean con un deseo interno que se encuentre alineado a lo que tú quieres. El problema es ¡que no existe ninguna fórmula para ello!

Toma a Biff Bifferson como ejemplo. Biff logró hacer varios millones de dólares en sus negocios de mercadotecnia. Puso por escrito cada paso que dio hasta en el último detalle. El también está muy entusiasmado de enseñarte cómo hacerlo, por eso creó un seminario donde explica todo lo que tienes que hacer para duplicar su éxito. Pero Biff se queda genuinamente perplejo cuando sólo unos pocos lo pueden hacer, mientras que el resto falla.

Biff piensa que hay algo mágico en sus programas no comprendiendo que sólo cuando tu proceso creativo personal está alineado a aquellas acciones, puedes tener éxito.

Biff no entiende que no puede enseñarte como alinear el pensamiento personal e intentar que conduzca a su éxito. Sólo puede enseñarte las acciones que llevó a cabo basado en aquel alineo personal.

Este es el motivo por el cual todavía no has alcanzado el éxito.

Existen probablemente unos pocos del público en el seminario de Marketing de Biff que piensen exactamente igual a él. ¿Pero qué sucede con el resto? Fracasarán, es tan simple como eso.

¡Es sólo sentido común! No importa cuán bueno sea el programa, si lo que estás tratando de hacer no te hace sentir bien, entonces no lo harás. Es eso o intentarás hacerlo forzadamente. Pero que lo logres es como tratar de encontrar una aguja en un pajar.

Lo digo por experiencia. Solía pensar que era estúpido: ¿Por qué no puedo obtener los resultados que otros tipos obtienen? Hasta que me di cuenta que estaba abordando el problema al revés.

Lo mismo es aplicable a los libros y seminarios sobre autoayuda. Eckhart Tolle encontró iluminación, ¿pero cuánta gente que haya leído su libro lo ha hecho?

¿Cuántos que hayan leído “Piense y hágase Rico” se han vuelto ricos realmente? Nunca leí dicho libro, pero conozco algunas personas poderosas pobres que lo han hecho.

Al igual que yo probablemente has intentado con muchos programas de autoayuda o éxito, pero no te funcionaron tan bien como pensabas.

No te dieron resultado porque hay un crucial elemento que falta en todos ellos.

Ese elemento faltante es tu alineo personal a ello. ¡Y nadie te puede enseñar eso!

Sin embargo, ¡puedes aprender a enseñarte cómo hacerlo. Esta es la buena noticia.

El hecho es que nadie puede conocer lo que pasa en tu cabeza a excepción de ti mismo. Nadie sabe lo que te gusta y lo que no, mejor que tú. Entonces la solución es establecer por ti mismo ese estado de ser necesario para tu éxito personal. ¿Adivina qué? ¡Eso es lo que todos los guías vivenciales, mentores, programas motivacionales y oradores inspiracionales están haciendo! ¡Este es el GRAN SECRETO para el éxito!

¿Cuánto de bien te hace estudiar la formula de éxito de Biff (o la de alguien más) si no te encuentras alineado a ello? La respuesta es: no te hace ningún bien en absoluto.

Esta es la razón por la cual la gente gasta toneladas de dinero y tiempo buscando aquel especial programa, libro o seminario que sintonice con ellos.

Aquí están las claves para el éxito

Clave # 1: encuentra un deseo que te deslumbre.

Clave #2: alinea tus pensamientos y acciones con ese deseo.



La número uno es la clave más importante. Amigos, si no tienen ese deseo, esa pasión, ¡olvídenlo! ¡No estarán lo suficientemente motivados para crear algo que la gente querrá! O el suficiente interés en ver tu proyecto con el vigor, entusiasmo y energía que conlleva lanzarlo al mundo.

La clave para el éxito para lograr cualquier cosa es hacerlo con pasión y regocijo, ya que estas emociones te unen al nivel más fundamental con cada ser sobre la tierra. ¡Pasión, alegría, emoción y bienestar forman lo que tú eres!

Cuando estás emocionado con tu proyecto, los demás lo estarán también. No importa lo que estés haciendo. Es contagioso, pero positivo.

Recuerdo haber asistido a un concierto de jazz y blues en 1972. Un tipo viejo con una voz ronca y una guitarra desafinada apareció en el escenario y comenzó a cantar. Este tipo se escuchaba desastroso al principio – no pegó una nota, no tocaba bien y su voz temblaba. Pero las personas del público que eran más de mil casi inmediatamente hicieron silencio y comenzaron a escuchar.

¿Saben por qué?

Porque aquel felino puso su alma y corazón en aquella interpretación. ¿Y por qué le fue posible hacerlo? Porque había podido conectar con su pasión y lo dejó al descubierto para que todos lo vean.

¡Y fue increíble!

Podrías haber escuchado el ruido de la caída de un alfiler durante los cinco minutos que este tipo estuvo en el escenario. Eso es lo que la pasión y el deseo harán por ti. Esto explica por que la gente exitosa dice, ¡Amo lo que hago!

Resumen

Clave # 1: Encuentra un deseo dentro de ti que te deslumbre.

Clave#2: Alinea tus pensamientos y acciones con ese deseo.

Eso es todo.

¿Crees que es demasiado simple?

¿Necesitas que sea más complicado?

Si es así, tu camino al éxito será largo y duro.

El primer ingrediente es la clave. Tienes que encontrar ese deseo que te deslumbre.



No el deseo de alguien más.

Si observas a la gente exitosa, aún aquellas como la Madre Teresa que han dedicado sus vidas a otros, encontrarás que sus motivaciones provienen del interior. Incluso las personas más desinteresadas ayudan a otras porque les hace sentirse bien por dentro.

Esto no es egoísmo; muy por el contrario. Toda motivación proviene de descubrir el deseo que abra para ti la fuerza creativa del universo. Es la misma energía que mantiene a la tierra en órbita y al sol brillando. Es la cosa más importante del universo. ¡Y eso es lo tú eres!

Toda la gente exitosa ha encontrado ese deseo interior y han alineado sus pensamientos y acciones hacia él.

Ese es tu trabajo. Tu trabajo es llevar a cabo estos dos simples pasos. No existe fórmula o receta que te pueda decir como hacerlo. Pero por lo menos ahora tienes un plan. Ahora, cuando hables con tu mentor puedes hacer que te guie hacia la dirección correcta. Ahora cuando leas aquellos libros de autoayuda o tomes algunos seminarios sabrás hacia donde te diriges.

What is love?

Love is the fundamental vibration of the universe. Love is attraction. It binds all things together. It is the carrier wave upon which all things communicate. It is a frequency infinitively high, that permeates and composes the All–That–Is.

When you feel love, you are in the moment. You feel a sense of glorious well being. You know that everything is absolutely perfect; and yet, at the same time, you feel a sense of eagerness, excitement, and exhilaration as you look over that next hill for the next adventure.
Is it possible to feel perfected and complete, and at the same time fresh, eager and excited for new experiences!

Yes!

It is the most wonderful, magnificent feeling in the world. It is how you feel when you connect to Source, to who you are. Exhilaration, excitement, joy, playfulness, eagerness, all of these wonderful feelings have their basis in love, for love is the glue that binds all things together. Love is attachment, you see, the innate and quintessential harmonious bonding that draws all things together in unity consciousness. Ken must use words to express these ideas, and words are pitiful representations of the real thing –– but we hope you can feel the love from us, that comes through these words.

If love is who you are, then why do not human beings experience this feeling of love more often?
It has to do with the vibration of your species consciousness and the inherent properties of thought. You see, every physical experience you have ever had has been imprinted upon the grid of subtle energy that is an inherent part of the makeup of your planet. All of your experiences have a vibrational stamp with your name upon them. As a magnificent being of Light, you enter the physical realm completely free of any “karmic” influences. As a spirit, you know who you are and you feel love permeate your consciousness. However, the vibrational imprints left over from your previous physical experiences still exist within the planetary envelope. You re–connect with these vibrational imprints according to the law of like attracts like –– and so you carry a background vibration that may or may not influence your life, depending upon the intensity of your previous experiences, and your choices in the present life.

Now we are going to say something that may shock you: you have never, ever made a mistake! That’s right! As human beings, you consider yourselves to be imperfect. “To err is human,” the saying goes. But we want to modify that to say, “The perception of error is human.”

You see, all of you have free will. Free will is part and parcel of unconditional love. Free will and unconditional love are intimately bound up with each other, for true love IS unconditional. This means that no matter what you think, say, or do, you are loved and are supported by love.

“But what about pain, torture, poverty, pollution and injustice?” you say? Well, these ideas only exist when you are not feeling love. These ideas are very real when you experience them, but when you allow yourself to BE who you ARE, these negative emotions disappear like a foggy mist after the sun comes out. When you truly feel love, worry, anxiety, hatred and fear are seen for the phantoms they are –– utterly without power, and totally dependent for their very existence upon the fundamental vibration, the OM.

We want you to recall the last time you felt wonderful. What happens? All of your cares, all of your worries simply dissolve. If you were to feel complete and total love, you would feel the ultimate serenity and bliss, and an intimate union with every single thing in the universe! You would, literally, BE the entire universe!

It is literally true that love conquers all. Well, this is how humans say it! We would rather say, Love transcends and encompasses all feelings, all emotions, all thoughts, all action. The universe and everything in it literally exist in a container of love!

Does this surprise you? Does it not seem irrational that love could lead to not–love? To pain and misery? Dear Ones, this is the only way it can be, for the vibrations that compose the physical universe and which you perceive with your human senses, must, to some extent, be lower harmonics of something infinite. For us, the drop off is negligible. But in the human game of earth, the possibility exists for a great attenuation! It is, of course, always your choice how you feel and what you experience.

We want you to look at your human existence from a higher perspective. You came to earth to experience yourself in fullness. In order to do that, you have created an environment that includes the possibility of disconnection.

What if the concept of love were to be expanded? you asked. What if it were possible to re–discover love even in an environment where there is separation from Love? This is the glorious game that you are playing on earth! To us, you see, this idea is so magnificent that we can only imagine it, but not experience it. It is an idea of love that expands the boundaries to unknown and unimaginable heights! This is what you, the earth bound masters, are exploring. To love someone despite another’s harmful intent is a definition of love that expands the notion of unconditional! Unconditional love means unconditional allowing. Unconditional allowing means that all actions, all thoughts, are lovingly supported! Why? Because all endings are happy endings! Death is a glorious release back to joy, and Native State. So you cannot make a mistake, do you see?

We assure you that only the very strongest and most powerfully connected beings can do this. Unconditional love always comes from a position of power. Anger, hatred, violence, all of these emotions come from weakness and insecurity, despite appearances to the contrary. Those who stand in their power are the greatest allowers, did you know that? These are the people with the greatest reach and scope of possibility in their lives. The more love, the greater is your reach into the world.

Politics: Bread and Circuses, Part II

"You can't save the world if you can't pay the rent."
- Morton Blackwell, conservative activist

The current political debate in the United States is completely divorced from economic reality. Candidates are discussing domestic and foreign affairs as if current events were just “business as usual.” Typically, political theater ignores fundamental economic realities.

The United States is bankrupt. Our major banks and financial institutions now have majority foreign (China -- Arabs) ownership. The Chinese have kept our economy afloat by buying our worthless FRN debt securities -- they own us. So of course, the Chinese could crash our economy any time they feel like it. That's why the political debate is so ludicrous -- "national security" is just a joke, nowadays. Nero fiddles while Rome burns, and history repeats itself. The only thing holding the Chinese back is that the world is awash in FRN's and that if the dollar goes, everybody gets hurt, including them.

Of course Bush is way out on the extreme – but everyone in the Dem-Rep party understands the economic realities, but they do nothing. That's because of the "off the books" economy that has developed over the past 20 years, which is a story that is too complicated to go into here, and anyway, I am not an expert. Suffice it to say that since the first Bush administration (poppy, Bush 41), the Fed, in cooperation with Congress and successive administrations, including the two Clinton administrations, have played fast and loose with the dollar. The debts of most of the world (including our own) have been monetized, using the authority of the Monetary Control Act of 1980, a little known piece of legislation that has done more harm to our economy and our nation that a million Saddam’s and Bin Laden’s.

If you want to know how the dollar has become hyperinflated planet–wide –– and, as a result, why it is losing value and purchasing power –– Google CDO (Collateralized Debt Obligations** ). These are financial instruments that in many cases resemble (IMHO) monopoly money, because they are created using fancy accounting gimmicks that often have little to do with financial and economic reality. Most of these paper securities are dollar denominated, and many of these financial instruments are generated off the books (see footnote and emphasis).

According to Wikipedia, approximately 86% of CDO’s are arbitrage motivated, which means that CDO managers are betting on the spread between higher yielding assets and lower yielding bonds. What’s the difference between this and sports betting, you ask? Not a lot, IMHO!

The whole idea of the new Basel II banking regime is to eliminate "off the books" transactions and clean up international finance, making the system more accountable. The problem is that US banks are awash in these derivatives. According to Thomson Financial, the top underwriters of CDO’s are Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, Wachovia, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, and Bank of America Securities, the institutions that are in the most trouble.
Our major banks literally cannot balance their books. Which is why the Chinese (who have the world's greatest accumulation of legit, on the books wealth) have been able to buy us at firesale prices.

So what’s the point?

The point is that the United States, far from being “the world’s only superpower,” is an empty shell, existing on borrowed money. Our politicians, however, bleat and preen as if the underlying economic realities didn’t exist.

There is only one candidate who understands the issues, and is facing them: Ron Paul. Which is probably why he is scorned by the rest of the political world, and the mainstream media. This isn’t a diatribe for Ron Paul, but it IS a plea to wake up and smell the coffee!
__________________________________
** From Wikipedia (emphasis mine) : “a CDO investor takes a position in an entity that has defined risk and reward, not directly in the underlying mortgages or asset backed securities. Therefore, the investment is dependent on the quality of the metrics and assumptions used for defining the risk and reward of the tranches, as well as the quality of the inventory. The qualities of the CDO that are defined by the CDO issuer can define the outcome of an investment in a CDO, in some cases as much or more than the quality of the inventory.

"The manufacturer of this entity, typically an Investment Bank, takes a cut of the value of the inventory and obtains management fees. The bank also typically does not have to maintain the underlying assets on it's own accounting ledgers, a significant financial advantage ( Note under Basel II, which went into effect In Jan 2008, this is no longer true, which is why U.S. some major U.S. banks are in such deep do–do). An investment in a CDO is therefore an investment in the cash flows of the assets, and the promises and mathematical models of this intermediary, rather than a direct investment in the underlying collateral. This differentiates a CDO from a mortgage or a mortgage backed security (MBS).”

I found this fascinating quote from Erich Fromm, author of Escape From Freedom:

"A person's main task in life is to give birth to oneself."

This quote really resonated with me because this morning I woke up and realized that being myself doesn't mean egotism or arrogance or detachment from others. The only way for me to really connect with others is to be who I am without reservation.

Sometimes that can be scary, because anything done without reservation might go overboard and upset others. It all depends on the place you are coming from!

When I can be myself totally, I connect to my spiritual side, and the common bond we all have with each other. A person's unique and fascinating personality and perspective then has a chance to show itself to the world, and admire and be admired.

What do you think?

"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.”
–-Dr. Martin Luther King

The Harmony Project is a way for individuals and small groups to directly and positively change the world –– and themselves –– with a minimum of effort. It’s a simple, uncomplicated and powerful way for individuals to positively change consciousness.
The Harmony project is based on three simple concepts:
1) The inherent spiritual nature of every human being
2) Quiet Power
3) Social networks

1) Everyone on earth has a spiritual aspect. In that profound sense, we are all linked on a very fundamental level. In the Harmony Project, we use this idea to raise our own vibration, and others as well.

A human being is a divine, immortal Spirit temporarily associated with a physical body. You either understand that, or you don’t. If you do, you are capable of reaching the state of love. Love is the quintessential expression of our inherent spiritual nature.

If you know what love feels like, then you are qualified to participate in the Harmony Project! By love I mean that powerful, awesome feeling of excitement and connection that unites all life everywhere. It’s easy to get that feeling back in your heart. All you have to do is remember a time you fell in love. Or got a wonderful present. Or saw someone smile. Or looked into the eyes of your pet. Love is a feeling of warmth that is inherent to all life everywhere. Love keeps the universe working. It is who we are at the core of our being. All else is an illusion.

2) What is Quiet Power?

Quiet Power is the expression of love. Love is serene, calming, quiet, confident, and enormously powerful. Love doesn’t jabber, shout, or scream. Love is not ostentatious or ego driven. Love is unconditional. When you love, you give your heart and soul. Love is exciting, but in a peaceful way.
Love is like giving someone a present. You wait silently, with eager anticipation, for the smile that comes when a friend or a loved one opens your gift. That smile is your reward. It is an acknowledgment of your shared divinity, of your shared spirituality. There aren’t words good enough to express that feeling. That’s why I call love, Quiet Power.

The expression of love finds many forms, in every area of life.
Have you ever noticed that the most influential people are always those who lead by example? Like Mother Theresa, or Gandhi. Or maybe, one of your friends. Or maybe your mother, or one of your relatives. It could be a teacher, a co–worker, a musician or an artist. Regardless of who it is, the people you admire most walk the walk, and don’t just talk the talk. They’re not in the streets yelling and screaming, but quietly going about their business, demonstrating competence, integrity, and compassion, showing others the true path by their example.

What is the true path?

It’s just the recognition of who you are. The cells of your body are made of condensed love. Everything in existence resonates strongly to this fundamental frequency.

The idea of the Harmony Project is to quietly open yourself up to the world, leading by example.

Don’t panic! The Harmony Project isn’t hard, it’s fun! Anyone can do it. It’s done quietly, at your own pace, and in your own time. You don’t have to sign up for anything, or study anything, or ask permission from anyone. There aren’t any rules. Everything you need for the Project is already inside of you.

3) The power of the Harmony Project is based on the social network. A social network is all of the people you know. Every country has thousands or millions of social networks, and they all overlap. These networks are spontaneous and people–created, unregulated by government or authority. Because of mobile technology, instant messaging, and email, people are now in instant communication, so an idea can spread rapidly within your network and between networks. Millions of people quietly, voluntarily and positively influencing their social networks has the same effect as one or two people reaching millions of people on the Oprah show.

It’s better to have millions of people quietly effecting change on a one–to–one basis within their personal networks, rather than a couple of people leading on the masses. Why? Because the idea of “follow the leader” has gotten mankind into trouble over the past 5,000 years, creating hierarchical societies with a few at the top and the millions at the bottom. So we simply by–pass the authorities and, without fighting or resisting the current order, create a new world.

In the American West, for example, boomtowns like Silver City, Idaho and Virginia City, Nevada simply disappeared. No one came in with an army to wipe these places out. They vanished as a result of natural economic forces. This is what social networks and endeavors like the Harmony Project will do to the established order.

What is the Harmony Project?

The Harmony Project consists of two simple activities:

1) Walk quietly down the street with love in your heart. The more crowded the street, the better! Repeat as many times as you feel like it. Or, sit quietly in a café or a coffee shop, and feel love. You don’t have to DO anything, or make a big speech, or make a spectacle of yourself. Just sit there feeling love and observe what happens. You can do this anywhere people gather. I like to do it at the checkout counter in the supermarket!

You don’t sing, or chant, or talk loudly, because that would be distracting to others, and could morph into an ego thing. Just sit or walk quietly and unobtrusively, blending in with the scenery. When you are around people and feel love, you quietly affect everyone around you. That’s because love is the most powerful vibration in the universe.

What happens is that the vibration of love goes quietly, but powerfully, outward from you to everyone around you, and alters their aura. I’ve done this myself, and when I am truly in tune with love, people will often look up and smile. Sometimes, they’ll even stop and want to talk. What you are doing is literally changing the vibration of those you meet, without having to argue with them, or “raise their consciousness.” You can’t know how powerful this can be until you actually do it! And do you know the best part? It makes you feel great! It can be addicting, in a good way.

Don’t be discouraged if you don’t see a miracle right away! The idea of the Harmony Project isn’t to show everyone how awesome you are (even though you ARE awesome!). It’s not an ego thing. The idea is first to feel love inside of you, and to share that love quietly with others. What you are doing when you radiate love around others, is vibrationally altering their consciousness. This occurs invisibly, just as radio and micro waves travel invisibly and find their way to your hand held communications device.

2) The second activity is even easier. When you talk or chat with your friends, bring up something positive and exciting, and get people talking about it.

For example, I just read an inspiring speech by a guy who says that mobile phones and social networking will completely destroy the hierarchical nature of our societies, returning power and freedom to individuals and away from governments and powerful elites. In India, poor fishermen have already used mobile technology to create a people–based market, completely unregulated by government or big corporations, that efficiently supplies Indian coastal villages with food. People who were starving are now fed, and fishermen who were dirt poor are now doing much better. He says that in ten years, if present trends continue, it will no longer be possible for a small elite to start a war, or have economic or political dominance over humanity. Instead of governments and bureaucracies and elites having power, independent social networks of people will have power! Now that is something that excites me!
What excites you? It doesn’t have to be profound! It could be a good tune you heard, or a podcast, or a movie, or a book you read. Whatever it is, make sure it is positive, not negative. Get people thinking and talking about something inspiring.

That’s it! If you are ready to create some miracles, go to it! Share your results and successes, and ask questions, on the Harmony Project Forum: http://tinyurl.com/2gebdl.

Taking Action

You can do the two steps of the Harmony Project by yourself, or with friends. You can walk silently down the street as a group radiating love, or sit quietly in a coffee shop, café, or any other appropriate place. Remember that love is quiet and powerful, but not ostentatious. The idea is not "wow look at us, we're awesome," but "we are here to saturate this place with love and good vibes." A group of people radiating love together is an enormously powerful force, like the warming rays of the sun that reach out and touch others. And the best thing is that when you radiate love, you feel it inside yourself first. So the first person who benefits is you!

How can you tell whether something you bring up in part 2) is positive or negative? The answer is, observe how people react. Are they happy, or sad? Angry or joyful? Apathetic or excited? I’ve included a scale of emotions from highest to lowest so you can accurately catalog emotions. Positive emotion is anything above 2.0 on the scale, and that’s good. Negative is anything below 2.0 on the scale, and you want to avoid that.

Experiment with this and soon you will be much better at recognizing emotions, and become much more sensitive to people and how to make them happier. Your relationships will improve, because you will be more observant. You will also feel more powerful, because sensitizing yourself to others also makes you more sensitive to what you like and dislike. So you achieve a state of higher discernment ands knowledge of self, as well as knowledge of others.

Testing

You can test to see how you are doing. In the first step, one person acts as an observer. That person determines the emotional level of the area before you begin, and then assesses the emotions of the area afterwards. In the second step, you (or an independent observer) can monitor the emotional tone of the group before and after the introduction of a topic. In all cases, the idea is to raise the emotional / vibrational level of the group. Of course, these observations are subjective, but so is a feeling of love, or a feeling of happiness, or any positive emotion.

Send in your ideas, experiences, and successes!
Share your experiences with others and ask questions on the Harmony Project Forum http://tinyurl.com/2gebdl. The Harmony Project is as much about raising your vibration as it is about transforming others!

Feeling Love

People will respond to you in proportion to how much love you are feeling. Most of us are creatures of habit. The Harmony Project is an opportunity for you to practice love. The better you feel, the more amazing result you are likely to get.

How do you feel love?

Well, you just sit quietly and remember a time when you felt loving towards someone, or someone felt loving toward you. Then you pick up on that feeling and let it saturate your consciousness, and the cells of your body. You know what love feels like, or you wouldn’t be interested in the Harmony Project. Did you know that of all the emotions, love is the easiest feeling to let in? That’s because love is the OM, the fundamental vibration of the universe. Love is in every cell of your body. It’s who you ARE. Love feels warm and fuzzy and powerful and generous and when you really feel love, you feel invincible and wonderful and you want to share yourself with the whole world!

You can get that feeling back any time, you just have to practice! It’s the most rewarding practice you can do for yourself, because it sets you up to have a perfect day. People naturally respond positively to those who feel love. That’s the idea behind the Harmony Project.

The Quiet Revolution

You don’t have to be famous to have a positive effect. In the past, trying to change the world through person–to–person contact was time consuming and inefficient, but not anymore. Today, person–to–person contact is the best way to make positive changes, because all of us belong to social networks. When someone gets exited about something, he or she tells everyone in his or her network and it spreads rapidly. A positive idea can literally spread itself all over the planet in almost no time at all! This is how we can create a new paradigm of thought in the consciousness of humanity.

The idea behind the Harmony Project is to raise the background vibration of society, and make it possible for positive solutions to occur. The human population is growing and more and more people are reject the old values of deceit, dishonesty, competition and war. Our species is rapidly approaching a tipping point, where a quantum leap in consciousness is possible. A tipping point is defined as the critical point in an evolving situation that leads to a new and irreversible development. This irresistible development is the idea that love is more valuable than hatred, that cooperation is better than conflict, and that human nature is divine. When enough people have these ideas, our societies can literally change overnight!

Power isn’t money, or military might. Power is the ability to control what you think and what you say, and to spread positive ideas through our social networks. Social change ALWAYS happens from the bottom up, not the top down. Governments and corporations are always the last ones to figure it out. The “establishment” always piggybacks on the great ideas that come from inspired individuals. The idea of the Harmony Project is to start a Quiet Revolution.

How Can This Happen?

Imagine society not as a bunch of powerless individuals, but as a collection of dynamically interacting social networks. Governments and corporations are social networks as well! They exist, like ships, floating upon the ocean of national consciousness. That consciousness is established by we the people, through our social networks. We are the soil upon which our nation's institutions grow. If these institutions are now corrupt to the core, it is because we have allowed our planetary and national soil to become fertile for them. We unconsciously repeat, through our social networks, the same old stale ideas that have allowed the present situation to occur.

The idea is to spread love and inspiring ideas all over the world! We all know how impossible it is to get large groups of people to agree on what is best –– just look at politics! The Harmony Project by–passes ideology and belief, and focuses on love. Love is so powerful that it immediately knocks out these lower vibrations. If you don’t believe this, then you have to actually try Step One. If you do it right, you won’t believe the positive results you will get!

Background

During the past century, the human population has been increasing at an unprecedented rate. We now have a unique window of opportunity for a paradigm shift in consciousness on a national and planetary scale. To replace the tired old memes of scarcity, conflict, hierarchy, “follow the leader,” and war, with new ones based upon the recognition of our divine, spiritual nature and a recognition that it IS possible –– and desirable –– for ALL humans to experience prosperity and live lives filled with promise and fulfillment.

Traditional consciousness raising activities take a mental approach. “If we can only educate the masses…” “If we can raise awareness on the dangers of __(fill in the blank), we can then offer a solution that will be accepted…” etc. These approaches almost never work –– unless they graduate to a process that raises emotional tone –– because they are intellectual and sterile. Many times, they evolve into competing groups, and then argumentation and even conflict, because people always have different opinions. With rare exceptions, this has been the history of politics in every society on earth.

All successful social movements begin with a raising of emotional tone. The civil rights movement in the United States, for example, raised millions of people up the scale of emotion, which led to inspirational ideas and actions that changed our society for the better.

The lesson of the past 5,000 years of human history is that a true paradigm shift in consciousness cannot come about only through ideas. Copernicus’s realization that the earth revolves about the sun, and Einstein’s theory of relativity, revolutionized the way we viewed the universe. However, they have not led to spiritual and emotional advancement. We are still exploiting and killing each other in the 21st century just as we did in 3000 BC.

Unanimous and beneficial agreement can only occur in an environment of positive emotion. In other words, ideas that change the world in a positive direction must come forth from a positive vibration. They must be supported by and motivated from positive emotion. This is obvious, but as a species, we don’t do it, because we believe it to be impossible! Enough of us believe the lie that we are merely biological creatures and that our inherent nature is primitive.

But human nature is not barbaric and savage. That is a myth foisted upon the human race by deluded people who believe that when you die, you’re dead, and by other insecure and frightened power seekers who believe in hierarchy and domination.

How did the current paradigm get established?

Long ago in the evolution of our species, a tipping point in thought was reached. It is impossible to pinpoint exactly where or when in history this occurred. However it happened, our species consciousness reflected the memes of hierarchy, control, victimization, and “follow the leader.”

Argumentation, domination, competition and conflict emerged as the primary method of problem resolution within and between human societies. These memes became vibrationally dominant in our consciousness and have been passed down from generation to generation, not because they were inherent to human nature or superior in any way, but merely because they were continuously activated. In other words, the history of our species has resulted from a habitual way of thinking.

But habits are not natural laws! Habits of thought and belief exist only because we continuously pay them homage. Our species is like the dog and the invisible fence. The dog stops because it believes it must, even though it could step over the line at any time, and think “out of the box.”

If you think about it long enough, you can understand that the resolution to our global problems cannot come about only through ideas, or education, or traditional consciousness–raising activities. That’s because, as we all know, everyone has different opinions. However, when everyone is feeling positive emotion, it is very easy to reach agreement! In the Harmony Project, thousands of individuals quietly and unobtrusively (but effectively) act to raise emotional tone through their social networks, which provides the foundation for positive and effective ideas that will transform our societies.

The Role of Beliefs

As a species, we have not made spiritual advancement because of our beliefs. Beliefs are self–fulfilling prophecies, for beliefs direct action. Another way to say this is that actions follow beliefs. A person who believes that money is hard to get and hold onto will likely continue to be poor, because he or she will act in ways that do not allow for prosperity. A person who believes that old people are stupid will disrespect his elders. A President who believes that war is a good way to resolve problems will start one. Like the dog and the invisible fence, mankind has erected prison bars made of thought, that direct actions into narrow and self–limiting areas. We demand adherence to limiting sets of beliefs, which have been codified as religion, or ‘tradition.’ When people act outside of these narrow boundaries, they are seen to be dangerous. Beliefs, however, are just collections of thoughts. And what are thoughts? Ephemeral things that can be changed. Only when the background vibration of society is raised enough, can we change the tenor and content of thought, on a national and global scale. We have the power in our hands, right now!

I believe that the Harmony Project would have been impossible even five years ago, because humanity was not ready for it. However, world events have spiraled so far out of control that more and more people understand that change is necessary. The Harmony Project is designed to nudge this process along, like a powerful ocean current which carries the ships that sail upon it.

Establishing Harmony

The way to establish harmony and cooperation is not to fight against the established order, or that which is repugnant. Getting people to fight and resist something is a clever psychological ploy that just continues the unwanted thing. As Mae West once said, “All pub is good pub.” All she meant was that it doesn’t matter whether you agree with something, or fight it, because it’s the same thing: you promote it either way. “Mae West is a terrible actor!” is almost as good as, “Mae West is a great actor!” That’s because people say, “Who is Mae West? I’ll look her up.”

When human beings want change, we organize to fight abhorrent things like poverty and cancer and terrorism. But in fact, fighting something just makes it bigger. Despite the War on Poverty, there is more poverty. Despite the War on Cancer, we still have lots of cancer. In the United States, the War on Terrorism has resulted in the elimination of our freedoms and civil liberties, through legislation like the Patriot Acts, the Military Commissions Act and the Homegrown Terrorist Protection Act.

Successful social and political movements are based on the creation of something positive, not the elimination of something negative!

Unfortunately, politics is almost exclusively the latter.

In Eastern thought, this concept is known as non–resistance. Non–resistance has been misinterpreted by Western philosophy to mean, “let yourself get steamrolled.” This is, however, a distortion of a very powerful and profound idea.

Saying “No” to something is the same as saying “Yes” to it, because either way, you place your attention on it, and spread it around. The more we fight terrorism, for example, the more fear we have, and the more laws are passed restricting our freedoms. The more we resist climate change and fossil fuels, the more emphasis we give to fossil fuels. Nowhere is this demonstrated more clearly than at the climate change conference in Bali (December 2007).

Scientists and participants on both sides of the climate change issue debate whether fossil fuels are the cause of increased global CO2 emissions. This debate focuses on fossil fuels, not on the development of clean and alternative energy sources.

This idea is expressed in the universal principle of ‘like attracts like.’ Whatever you think about and talk about the most will be what you create, and what you experience. You can test this in life by living mindfully. When you become more aware of your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, you will begin to see a correspondence between them and what you manifest in life.
We have been taught just the opposite, however. We’ve been taught that we think a certain way because of the way reality is. But of course, that philosophy is a recipe for failure, and a life that never changes. Following that line of thinking turns people into robots, and gets them feeling powerless. When that happens, people can be easily manipulated, which is what has happened throughout human history.

Summary

So let’s wake up the human race! The Harmony Project is a great way to quietly and effectively raise the background vibration of society.

In the Revolutionary War, the United States achieved political freedom from Great Britain. All intelligent people now understand that modernly, war cannot be the answer. War and conflict and all that support it are outdated and pathetic relics of the Old Order! We seek solutions on a much more powerful level.

We need a spiritual, not a political, economic, or scientific solution. These have all been tried and found wanting. We need, not a political revolution, but an evolution in consciousness. The Harmony Project is itself an evolutionary leap, for although we are in the streets and in the shops, and everywhere people congregate, we are invisible to the gross forces of authority, and outside their purview.

In our program, we operate in concert with the higher vibrations, using the subtle, but immensely powerful energies of love. You see, it is impossible to do the Harmony Project by yelling and fighting, for love does not do that. In the higher vibrations, we use Quiet Power. We are Revolutionaries of Love!

What is happening on our planet?

A rapid rising of consciousness as humanity wakes up from 5,000 years of slumber. This rising of consciousness is directly related to population increase. As our numbers increase, we have a unique window of opportunity to effect a paradigm shift in human consciousness.

Long ago in the evolution of our species, a “tipping point” in thought was reached. A tipping point is defined as the critical point in an evolving situation that leads to a new and irreversible development. However it happened, our species consciousness reflected the memes of hierarchy, control, victimization, and “follow the leader.” Conflict, competition, argumentation and war emerged as the primary method of problem resolution. These memes became vibrationally dominant in our consciousness and were passed down from generation to generation, not because they were inherent to human nature or superior in any way, but merely because they were continuously activated. In other words, the history of our species has resulted from a habitual way of thinking. But habits are not natural laws. Habits of thought and belief exist only because we continuously pay them homage. We are like the dog and the invisible fence. The dog stops because it believes it must, even though it could step over the line at any time, and think “out of the box.”

A change in thought can lead, quicker than anyone might imagine, almost instantly to a new paradigm of thought. When thought changes, actions change. It is literally true that we can, by taking control of what we think and believe, change our societies almost overnight! Anyone who saw the crumbling of the Berlin Wall knows what I’m talking about.

As a species, we have not made spiritual advancement because of our beliefs. Beliefs are self–fulfilling prophecies, for beliefs direct action. Another way to say this is that actions follow beliefs. A person who believes that money is hard to get and hold onto will likely continue to be poor, because he or she will act in ways that do not allow for prosperity. A person who believes that old people are stupid will disrespect his elders. A President who believes that war is a good way to resolve problems will start one. Like the dog and the invisible fence, mankind has erected prison bars made of thought, that direct actions into narrow and self–limiting areas. We demand adherence to sets of beliefs, which have been codified as religion, or ‘tradition.’ When people act outside of these narrow boundaries, they are seen to be dangerous. Beliefs, however, are just collections of thoughts. And what are thoughts? Ephemeral things that can be changed!

A group of people on our planet are resisting the inevitable change to a new paradigm of thought aligned with true human and spiritual values –– those in government and in finance who see the coming shift and, in their fear and insecurity, perceive a loss of power and status. Paradoxically, these people –– albeit unknowingly –– are working against themselves and for the establishment of the new consciousness.

In the United States, corruption at the highest levels of our government is rampant, as is indicated by current legislation before the U.S. Congress. The “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act,” which passed the House on a vote of 405 to 6, makes blogging, speaking, or writing anything critical of the government a “terrorist” act. That’s right folks. As of Nov 30, this traitorous piece of legislation was still before the Senate as Senate Bill 1959.

At the highest levels in the United States, criminality is now the norm in politics and finance, and departure from criminality is perceived as aberrant. In the past twenty years, a separate banking and financial system has been established worldwide by criminal elements, creating a river of illegal fiat money that has been used to bribe political leaders all over the world.
For example, Secretary Paulson held a news conference on 6 December, in which he announced the creation of the Hope Fund, and the freezing of interest rates on adjustable rate mortgages. Freezing of interest rates essentially invalidates all adjustable rate mortgage contracts. Those who invested in these mortgages are now screwed out of the interest they would have gotten. In a country that abides by the rule of law, a contract is sacred. Violation of contract is dishonest –– it’s the same as giving your word and then going back on it. It’s no different than your bank telling you that the interest on your Certificate of Deposit will no longer be paid, and that you cannot withdraw your money! The so–called Hope Fund was created, according to Christopher Story of the International Currency Review and World Reports, with stolen money!

The “mainstream” news media has completely ignored these developments.
But guess what?

All of this works in our favor!

The myopic and brain–dead mainstream media refuses to report on these developments, which is a good thing. Why? Because it prevents panic. It prevents more people from focusing on what is not wanted. In this case, ignorance IS bliss! In other words, if the masses are convinced that all is well financially, that creates the vibrational groundwork for positive solutions. The criminal element NEEDS panic and uncertainty to accomplish their goals. At the same time, exposing their illegal criminal activities is impossible! So they play into our hands by doing their dirty work behind the scenes.
The march toward a tipping point in the consciousness of humanity is inevitable. To stop it, a massive worldwide disaster that radically reduces population would be necessary. I no longer believe in the arguments promoted by those who claim the earth is facing a climate crisis and that the planet is in imminent danger, and that the human race faces the prospect of destruction, even though I certainly do agree that we need to find alternative sources of energy. There are valid scientific arguments on both sides of the climate issue, but after watching Live Earth I was appalled at the negative nature of the presentations. You can always tell the validity of anything by identifying its position on the scale of emotion/vibration. Live Earth was in the vibration of fear. Anything positive is valid, anything negative is invalid. Anything that uplifts and inspires is valid, anything that scares you is not!
Here is an excerpt from The Report on Iron Mountain released in 1966, a document which analyzes the different ways a government can perpetuate itself and control its citizens.

On p. 39 this document states
“The war system has not only been essential to the existence of nations as independent political entities, but has be equally indispensable to their stable political structure. Without it, no government has been able to obtain acquiescence in its “legitimacy,” or right to rule [sic] its society. The possibility of war provides the sense of external necessity without which no government can long remain in power. The historical record reveals one instance after another where the failure of a regime to maintain the credibility of a war threat led to its dissolution, by the forces of private interest, of reactions to social injustice, or of other disintegrative elements. The organization of society for the possibility of war is its principle political stabilizer.”

Sound familiar?

Well, this document offers something really surprising. In an attempt to discover ways in which regional and/or world government could establish and perpetuate itself, it was recognized that there must be a credible global threat. War on a planetary scale is obviously self defeating. So what other elements could be used to legitimize a world government? The document explores a number of alternatives, concluding that the environmental pollution model is the most likely to succeed. In the words of the document,


“When it comes to postulating a credible alternative for war…the “alternate enemy” must imply a more immediate, tangible, and directly felt threat of destruction. It must justify the need for taking and paying a “blood price” in wide areas of human concern. In this respect, the possible substitute enemies noted earlier would be insufficient. One exception might be the environmental–pollution model, if the danger to society it posed was genuinely imminent. The fictive models would have to carry the weight of extraordinary conviction, underscored with a not inconsiderable actual loss of life…It may be, for instance, that gross pollution of the environment can eventually replace the possibility of mass destruction by weapons as the principal apparent threat to the survival of the species.”

I’m not suggesting that events like Katrina have been orchestrated, or that Al Gore is part of some giant conspiracy to destroy mankind. What I am suggesting is that people on both sides of this issue may have an agenda.
Instead of concentrating our attention on the conservation of fossil fuels (which just perpetuates the idea of fossil fuels) we should be CREATING the possibility of alternative, clean, and abundant energy sources. If Al Gore spent as much time and political capital on promoting alternative energy as he does in scaring people to death about an imminent environmental collapse, I believe that his time would be better spent!

Fear and scare tactics can NEVER create positive solutions, precisely because a vibration of fear will generate a fearful solution!

The use of alternative fuels automatically means that you aren’t using fossil fuels. That’s much better than trying to get everyone to use less fossil fuels! Personally, my wife and I are spending some of our savings on a geo–thermal heating system, which is a closed system that operates using water from pipes dug under the ground.

Remember that getting people to fight or resist something makes it bigger. This is a clever psychological ploy that enables the promotion of repugnant ideas. If you create organization A to promote war, and then create organizations B,C, and D to FIGHT war, all attention is then co–opted to the promotion of war. For it is obvious that fighting war is the same as promoting war, for the common vibration is WAR. This is how the people of the United States are being cleverly manipulated into acquiescing in the destruction of their liberties.

My point is that the march toward a tipping point in human consciousness can be stalled IF you can scare people to death. Those of us who understand our spiritual nature, and who are on the leading edge of the revolution (or should I say evolution) in consciousness, must be aware of the tactics used by those who fear such a quantum leap in awareness. But we must also realize that these tactics are self–defeating. The only way we can fail is to go into agreement with the real terrorists –– those who wish to rule and control us.
Collectivist solutions that involve a hierarchical expansion of regional or global government are promoted by those who are in fear and who NEED to be at the top of the pyramid. We must reject these solutions and take back our power. We can do this by activating our social networks; by positively creating our lives, and refusing to involve ourselves in resisting or fighting that which is repugnant.

I’ll have much more to say on this in another blog post.

Universal Principles, War and Peace
From Ken’s book “The Vibrational Universe:

People object to the concept of non-resistance, especially in a political context. There are some who think, for example, that the armed forces protect a country from attack and guarantee the freedom of all of its citizens, and that non-resistance is a cowardly attempt to duck the responsibilities of a good citizen. But this is just another of those un-inspected 'truths' which are floating around in mass consciousness.
The armed forces exist to fight. They are an exact vibrational match to others who also wish to fight, and to those who are resisting fighting, war, and conflict. (The energy stream of resistance is building a wall, and the energy of the warrior is to knock down the wall.) This resistance to war can take many forms, but it always resides on the lower levels of the Emotional Scale (fear, anger, hatred, etc.).
Their little play is acted out upon whatever stage is chosen by them, and their actions only affect those who are resonating to the vibrations of conflict. And indeed, most of us in this society have been raised in an environment of war (cold or otherwise), and if we watch the news every night, it is very likely that almost all of us have activated somewhere within us, support for, or fear of, conflict. Those who resonate purely to the vibrations of peace, harmony and love will never find themselves involved in a war, unless it is their conscious choice to become so involved (like James Twyman, the peace guy). This is something most people find impossible to believe, but it is entirely consistent with universal law. Nevertheless, we say here with absolute certainty that the Law of Vibration and the Law of Attraction are inviolate and infallible and will always work in your favor if you focus positively. You cannot be a victim of conflict, if you do not resonate to conflict.
The armed forces protect no one, for it is impossible to protect anyone from anything, as we have already seen. If you are a warrior, then you love fighting and the military is a perfect career, for you then associate with other warriors and you can have a grand time. Blood and guts! But don't make the mistake of thinking you are protecting anyone else. Vibrationally speaking, as a warrior you add your individual contribution to the overall vibe of fighting and war. For a true warrior fighting is a release, but to the rest of us, war is a very imprisoning activity.
The idea that the armed forces protect the citizens of a nation from attack is, however, a great justification for their existence. You could not think of a better reason to promote military activities! It is actually a very clever way of psychologically training people to resonate to war and conflict. If you have followed me so far, however, you understand that fighting those who wish to promote or fight wars is pointless. Vibrationally speaking, you engage the other on his own ground! You become that which you hate, and find yourself part of the problem instead of the solution. Eventually, you learn the hard way that attempting to change the activities of others places you squarely in opposition to the Law of Free Will. Actions stem from beliefs, and although you may physically conquer, it is impossible to ensure a change in thought. Objecting to unwanted things feeds energy to them. Thus, love is the only way to deal with hate.18
There may be many objections to this. "OK, what about WW II? If morons like you had their way, we'd be speaking German right now and living in a dictatorship." Well, resistance to Hitler (or fear, same thing) allowed him to grow in power. In Germany, much discontent and agitation existed from the grossly unfair terms imposed on that country (in the minds of many Germans) by the allies after WW I, and the hyperinflation of the Weimar government threatened to wipe out what was left of the middle classes.
Hitler grew powerful internationally because of an enormous amount of resistance. Hitler started out as a little punk that grew more influential, not because people ignored him, but because they did not ignore him. Historical evidence shows that some of Hitler's funding came from sources outside Germany. Somebody who wants to fight needs another to push back. A vibration of conflict needs a matching vibration in order for it to take root. The martial art known as Aikido operates upon this principle, essentially refusing to resist the fighter and by using his own energy against him. Every time you resist something, you feed it power.
Many people think this is nutty. "If we didn't fight Hitler he would have walked all over us." People like to point out examples in history where peace-loving people were massacred by invading barbarians. The lesson, they claim, is that negative forces, if ignored, can overwhelm entire societies. But this is not how it works. We do not live in a universe where beings in it are powerless. There are no victims. The belief in negative forces is a massive distortion that mankind has placed into the species mass consciousness. It sets up a self-fulfilling idiocy in which a powerful vibration is offered, and eventually matched.
It may seem nutty to say that if people outside Germany placed their attention on well-being instead of resisting Hitler, that he would not have attacked them. However, the universe responds to individuals, even though it seems that groups of people are randomly affected. The only way every one of a group of people could be affected by the same event is if all of them thought alike. Mankind as a species has a tendency to want to agree. This is a divine impulse born from inner knowledge of love and connection to all things, but it gets people into trouble when the agreement is on something uncomfortable! That is why mass media is so effective, for it gets people thinking and agreeing on the same thing. It allows those who control the media to inculcate ideas into the minds of people on a massive scale.

18 A truly loving person never encounters hatred. That is an inevitable conclusion from the vibrational universe concept. There are, however, unacceptable religious consequences (for some) that proceed directly from its acceptance, and which are beyond the scope of this book.

Group dynamics are always a function of individual dynamics. Every individual conscious being in this universe is guaranteed to have complete freedom of choice, and the universe is designed to always respond to those choices, no matter what others are doing. I don't care how many history books or political commentaries you have read. All individuals are guaranteed by the laws of the universe to be sovereign regarding their own experiences. If this seems hard to believe, I invite you to test it for yourself.
People don't believe in their own power because the history of planet earth for the past several thousand years seems to be one of inevitable disaster. The thought stream of conflict and war is very powerfully activated in the human mass consciousness. We are raised from birth immersed in the idea that in order to be secure, it is necessary to protect yourself from the bad guys. However, no one ever bothers to actually look at history. The history of this planet is mind-numbingly predictable: find something you don't like, try to get others to change their behavior to suit you, if they don't do what you say start a fight. Or, look at something you don't like, become afraid that it will come into your experience, and try to protect yourself from it. Just like Joe Doakes and Cecil Aldershot, those who want to fight and those who protect
