I feel your sharing so strongly as I already feel the same so deeply myself. I am not a dreamer, I simply feel... and my heart is telling me we have already made our choice's. We each already know which boat we are in! The procrastination candle has burnt out.

There is only one way through - to go into our hearts and TRULY LISTEN! What is it saying? If we ignore it now there won't be any second chances. Now is the time.

Are you still making choices that keep you locked into a world that no longer serves your journey? Or are you truly listening? Which boat are you in?

Now we are called to honour the depths of beingness and make the biggest leap of faith in our lives - the leap into the unknown that will take us all the way.

What a powerful article and video. The feelings and emotions that are stirred in me are really strong, tears of Gaia seems such an appropriate title.
The oil spill does feel like such a loud and clear message, to me the loudest so far, I am deeply moved. I feel an increased motivation to keep living in truth and a real depth of appreciation for mother earth.

It will take what it takes for humanity to come to the reality of unity with Creator. We are the expressions of the darkness and the light of Its Being. We bring all things with us for creation of our reality. Being open to the possibilities of wonder and beauty are inherent in all that walk in LIGHT/LOVE.

Holding the thoughts of healing for our beautiful planet home, holding the consciousness of the awakening to the plight of our fellow creatures, as well as each other, these are the imperatives. First being responsible to self, taking actions for self-en-lighten-ment with ever widening consciousness of other self and how to contribute to the wholeness of all, this is a life of purpose and fulfillment.

Thanks for this posting to remind us, Joan Belle

I'm hearing and feeling a lot of pain from awakening people across the world as the Gulf Oil Out-pouring continues. Isn't it truly amazing that with all their wealth, intelligence and technology, both governments and industrialists alike seem totally powerless to stop this inexorable flow of gushing oil and gas into our environment?

I hear many crying out asking "How can we stop this?" Then I hear Gaia answering in my heart... "It's quite simple really. You can each stop it now by using the car less, flying less, consuming oil-based products less, eating meat and non-organic food less." I see this oil flow as a mirror, yes, as button pushing as it may be, I see it as a gift from benevolence. Society is still rampaging like the proverbial lemmings to the cliff edge. In fact it seems so blinkered, that last chance messages like this one need to be this strong in order that the group consciousness may actually look up and take notice.

But before Awakening people find themselves getting tight, frustrated or even angry, there is another message I feel compelled to share. Recently I heard a Hopi Elder speaking to a group of Company CEOs, the bosses of some of the biggest industrial companies about how society is dangerously out of alignment with Gaia and her natural eco-systems. Towards the end, the bosses asked the Elder a question... "Would you make a prophecy for us for the future?" The Elder hardly needed to think and responded in a calm, gentle but firm way... "Yes, there's one thing I can feel and say with absolute surety in my heart and it is this: that you will all meet here in a years time and nothing will have changed."

For what seemed like a good while, there was absolute silence. They could feel the truth in it. I could certainly feel the truth in it. And I feel the same truth now: that society is so engrained, so conditioned and so programed to the 'matrix' way of living, it is simply unwilling and unprepared to change in any real way other than just paying lip-service to the issue. Our governments gain their power on the funds of such industrialists. They simply can't turn off the air supply that inflates them.

So as an Awakening person, how do you feel about that? What goes on inside? Do you get angry and frustrated? Perhaps though, you might look at the 'problem' in another way: benevolence has been evolving for billions of years. It is super compassionate, super patient and above all else, it is super intelligent. Do you think it could not foresee this seeming intractable problem that the group subconsciousness finds itself in? Of course it could!

There is an old saying... "if you want to topple something, you must first let it succeed". It feels to me that this has been the approach of benevolence. In many ways, I feel benevolence has actually given energy to our excesses that we may see them more clearly. This is what it means to "show the mirror". At the end of the day, it is we the people who must find it in our own hearts to change direction. This journey is all about realisation of the soul and no one can do that for us. We must do it ourselves.

But of course we are co-creating a reality. So we're co-creating with Gaia and with the natural flow of the universe. Disharmony will always unwind due to the constant flow of harmony. It's just like the hardest granite will always be washed away by the ocean given enough time. And the ocean has buckets of time. Or should I say, benevolence has HAD buckets of time. This intractable problem that society has found itself in has been many thousands of years in the making. When humanity stopped aligning with the universe and started trying to control it, shaping it and manifesting it, that's when we stepped out of the flow. That's when we created this 'eddy current' and that's when benevolence stepped in to help unwind the blockage.

It has done so with constant mirrors throughout the ages presenting themselves to each and everyone of us. We experience the mirror through the synchronicities of our lives. In all those myriad of places where we get stuck or tight inside, the mirror is saying... "does this really serve you?" When we're stuck in the traffic jam, when we get sick because of the food we eat, when we get stressed out because of the work we do, the mirror is begging the question.

Well now that mirror is saying something very definite to me: that society is simply not going to change of its own accord. That some collapse IS going to happen - in fact it's already begun. To me, this IS the final solution of benevolence, the constant wall of ever changing mirrors that everyone can see. Yes, people will still deny the inevitable, just as President Obama wants us to blame the Industrialists for this oil spillage - the very companies that put him and his like in power.

I for one have found peace with this. Yes, it wasn't easy, but every time I read in the newspapers and on the internet about the continued destruction of our environment, I went inwards, I touched the face of Gaia, felt her tears wash through my heart. She helped cleanse my anger... "Find peace dear beloved, I am not powerless, I will be here in my splendour long after humanity has departed". I found solace in here soothing words. I saw benevolence, intelligence and also something else... absolute inevitability. This IS the final solution.

So society will collapse. It is a system founded on have and have-not, rich and poor, profit and loss, winner and loser. It is a system based on a lower harmony. It is consciousness that has formed an eddy current in the universal flow and collected debris. And as the universe moves to the higher harmony, that consciousness is being unwound. There is no choice in it. Yes we can deny the flow, but we can't change the flow. At least we can't change it's destiny. And we are a part of that. So the same applies to us: we can deny our destiny but we can't change it.

Currently we are living in two worlds not one. The higher harmony overlaps the lower. You can see and hear the disharmony of the physical world, yet when you look with the eyes of the soul, you can step beyond this and feel the joy, beauty and love of the higher. The polarity is growing ever stronger. Just as the pain of the lower strengthens, so does the awesome peace and majesty of the higher. The key is to process out our attachment to the lower world that we may unfold into the higher one.

So to conclude, can you, as an awakening person, find peace in your heart with that? Can you watch society unwind itself even though that may appear in many ways chaotic and catastrophic? Can you realign with the universe and stand peacefully in your truth, whilst everything around you topples? If you can do that, then you will master this ultimate test of our times. You will dissolve your inner tightness, unfold within and follow your true destiny - the movement to the higher plane of consciousness where the equation has been balanced; where all life is cherished and respected; where we receive in one hand and give with the other in equal measure; where life has deeper meaning and true purpose; where our goals are not how to manipulate, plunder and squander, they are ones of spiritual enrichment and continued evolution.

The time is now. There is no other time!

A WISE Hopi elder talking about the issue:

This is a deeply inspiring video Meno. I have felt this in my heart for so long too.

Thank you Chris for the reassuring perspective!

As I was reading it, U2's Vertigo was playing in the background and the words "Your love is teaching me how to kneel" were synchronsitically sung as I reached the last paragraph!

The chorus seems relevant too, a wake up call -
Hello, Hello
Hola! [Spanish for Hello]
I'm at a place called vertigo (¿Dónde está?) [Where is it?]
It's everything I wish I didn't know
Except you give me something I can feel
Feel

Chris you said "Can you realign with the universe and stand peacefully in your truth, whilst everything around you topples?". I got a real sense of this from the video!

Thank you Meno for the video - moving stuff

Gratitude to Openhand and the supporting magic of Benevolant Consciousness

Hi Fiona,

Vertigo is one of my favourite songs and exactly that line... "It's everything I wish I didn't know". It's the 'vertigo' that arises with higher consciousness - when you can see through the deceit and distortion to get to how things really are.

And when we do, it comes with a price, a responsibility, to hold the higher truth and find a way to express it - including the most uncomfortable and in convenient parts - even though it might cause a degree of alarm and distress. I admire the Hopi in the video because he holds 'the vertigo' with eloquence, grace and amazing wisdom.

And yes, the solace in the song for anyone expressing the higher truth, comes in the second line "except you give me something I can feel". It's like benevolence empathises and encourages us to connect with people's feelings. It feels like encouragement at the deepest level.

In fact to my mind, U2 lyrics are littered with such revelation. No surprise really because Bono wears the Christ Consciousness on his sleave.

Here's a few appropriate lines from "The Fly"...

"A man will rise
A man will fall
From the sheer face of love
Like a fly from a wall
It's no secret at all"

Terrorism, the Gulf War,climate change & Global warming, the BP oil disaster, peak oil, over logging of rainforests ... so much global destruction. War, poverty, starvation, violence, abuse of power on all levels. What is it going to take for you to wake up? what will it take for YOU to wake up? The Governments and regimes of the world are not your enemies. The vast oil companies and other multi-national corporations are not your enemies. They are your servants. Governments and corporations respond only to the will of the people. The voters, the consumers, the shareholders. What the people demand, they must give ... consumer demand, voter demand, shareholder demand ... all the same! THEY respond to YOU. YOU are their overlords. Yes, they will try to trick you into believing their way is the only way. The governments will try to trick you into believing that there is only one way to live ... their way, the way of the society they dictate you must abide by ... to Govern, (control) mente (the mind). This is the law of the land. The corporations will also trick you into believing that you must have their products to survive, to live well, to be happy and live more fulfilling lives. It is all lies. Do you really believe that people today laugh more often than they did 50,000 years ago? are any happier? have simpler lives? love their children more deeply? No. Only one truth has become self-evident ... we, the people, are slowly destroying our only home ... our Earth, the living Earth ... Gaia, mother of us all. YOU are doing this ... not THEM ... there is no THEM, only YOU and your demands are real. Understand this well and do not externalise the blame for what is happening onto those you vote for and buy from.

But, of course, while everybody knows inside these words are true, it is very difficult to change. How can we possibly change to a whole new way of living and thinking about life after so many generations of conditioning have passed? ... yet equally true is the fact that we MUST change if we are going to survive. The Governments of the world will not change for you ... Copenhagen proved that beyond all doubt. The only global solution that the governments can possibly find agreement on is the lowest common denominator. This, they have done. It is a useless agreement. The corporations are not going to change their entire range of products while people are still buying the old ones. So what do we do?

It is only up to us, the people, to change. As we change our needs and demands, the Governments and Corporations will have no choice but to change with us. They will,. of course, try to resist the change ... but over time, change they will, as long as we change OUR will ... the will of the people. Are YOU willing to start making such changes? Perhaps you are thinking 'yes' in this moment ... but you will certainly not be ridding your home of all products that are either made from of use fossil fuels any time soon. ... and yet, this is really the only guideline that truly matters. "All living things that have previously lived in oneness with Gaia, and have since returned to the Gaian oneness, are sacred. Once they have returned to Earth, they must remain in the Earth in order to sustain all living things that are present NOW!" The ancient forests turned to oil and coal must remain in the ground that they have returned to. This is not the LAW of the people ... it is the LORE or Gaia, the living Earth, our Mother. But knowing this simple truth will not cause you to make changes ... why? Because you do not know how to change. You do not know what to do. You do not feel capable of changing ... it is all too hard. This, too, is a product of your conditioning over the many generations that came before you.

What if a body of people contacted you tomorrow and said "We have a place all ready to go that is a 100% Gaia conscious community of over 1000 people where all of your living needs are provided for you, you only need to do the work that most inspires you, all your food is healthy and organic, the water is uncontaminated with chlorine and flouride and you will have your own unique role within the community ... your community. All you have to do is join us, we will teach you any new skills you might need." Would you believe them? Would you even trust them? ... and yet, this is entirely possible. When enough people are prepared to stand together as one community, share their resources to acquire land, share the work to build homes, grow crops, make clothing, etc, etc. When enough people are willing to let go of the fear-based conditioning and trust each other once more ... anything is achievable ... even building a whole new culture!

Example: 1000 people - $10,000 each = $10 million. Enough to buy land, build homes (co-housing earthships), establish sustainable infrastructure, plant crops (permaculture). All of the needs of a sustainable society can be catered for in order to create a new society supporting 1000 people that is not dependant on a money-based economy. All it takes is enough people prepared to trust, love and work together. Such a society can only inspire others to follow.

I finished the book last night(G.O.L.). Im in school now and i truly felt that i stepped into a different classroom than the one I knew. . This is the moment where it is the hardest not to judge the others but as I sat there i felt we each belonged together with the rest and now found a computer and saw "tears of Gaia" and i realized that the majority of the ones I know would not be ready for something like this, and this affects me greatly as the environment/peer groups are heading towards something completely different-- I have tears of joy to have found you and i'll never be able to express that enough . I am so thankful for your intentions of helping others. And I am definately going to step into the right boat but I need to build it first and thats my path for now
