At first it was nuclear

Change is coming, , , , , ,

I’ve been thinking about the economic meltdown the world is going through. It seems interesting that it is affecting everyone either personally or someone within their immediate circle. This seems to be a way to get everyone on the planet aware of the change that is happening to us.

Starting back in the late sixties and early seventies there were psychics who saw a nuclear war with Russia as the means to make everyone question what their reality was. The war never happened but the sixties did bring in a huge change in terms of people’s expanded awareness. Then we had massive earth upheavals being predicted with the reasoning being that if you can’t even count on the ground that you stand on what can you count on. That also didn’t happen but we did get more violent weather and our attention turned to taking care of the planet that we live on.

Finally we have a crumbling of our worldwide economic base. This touches people where they live. It’s not a disaster that happened on some coast. It’s not a huge bomb that targeted a major city. It is a threat to our very way of living. People have usually been able to make a life for themselves depending on how hard they worked. Now it doesn’t matter what they do. We have massive layoffs that seem to be never-ending. We have people losing their homes. We have tent cities in America! 

This was never predicted. Whoever or whatever thought to take away our base of reality to make us question it, without huge losses of life, was brilliant. What would happen if government could no longer take care of us? What would happen if we could no longer find food for our families. We would probably split into some people choosing anarchy and others choosing to create a new support system, and that has been predicted. I have long read and heard about small groups of people forming like-minded communities based on spiritual principles and that it would be in this way that we would raise the consciouness of the planet to a new level. We are spiritualizing our planet. I just never expected it to be this way.

Nov. 5, 2008

Dear Brother Obama,

You have no idea, really, of how profound this moment is for us. Us being the black people of the Southern United States. You think you know, because you are thoughtful, and you have studied our history. But seeing you deliver the torch so many others before you carried, year after year, decade after decade, century after century, only to be struck down before igniting the flame of justice and of law, is almost more than the heart can bear. And yet, this observation is not intended to burden you, for you are of a different time, and, indeed, because of all the relay runners before you, North America is a different place. It is really only to say: Well done. We knew, through all the generations, that yo u were with us, in us, the best of the spirit of Africa and of the Americas. Knowing this, that you would actually appear, someday, was part of our strength. Seeing you take your rightful place, based solely on your wisdom, stamina and character, is a balm for the weary warriors of hope, previously only sung about.

I would advise you to remember that you did not create the disaster that the world is experiencing, and you alone are not responsible for bringing the world back to balance. A primary responsibility that you do have, however, is to cultivate happiness in your own life. To make a schedule that permits sufficient time of rest and play with your gorgeous wife and lovely daughters. And so on. One gathers that your family is large. We are used to seeing men in the White House soon become juiceless and as white-haired as the building; we notice their wives and children looking strained and stressed. They soon have smiles so lacking in joy that they remi nd us of scissors . This is no way to lead. Nor does your family deserve this fate. One way of thinking about all this is: It is so bad now that there is no excuse not to relax. From your happy, relaxed state, you can model real success, which is all that so many people in the world really want. They may buy endless cars and houses and furs and gobble up all the attention and space they can manage, or barely manage, but this is because it is not yet clear to them that success is truly an inside job. That it is within the reach of almost everyone.

I would further advise you not to take on other people’s enemies. Most damage that others do to us is out of fear, humiliation and pain. Those feelings occur in all of us, not just in those of us who profess a certain religious or racial devotion. We must learn actually not to have enemies, but only confused adversaries who are ourselves in disguise. It is understood by all that you ar e commander in chief of the United States and are sworn to protect our beloved country; this we understand, completely. However, as my mother used to say, quoting a Bible with which I often fought, “hate the sin, but love the sinner.” There must be no more crushing of whole communities, no more torture, no more dehumanizing as a means of ruling a people’s spirit. This has already happened to people of color, poor people, women, children. We see where this leads, where it has led.

A good model of how to “work with the enemy” internally is presented by the Dalai Lama, in his endless caretaking of his soul as he confronts the Chinese government that invaded Tibet. Because, finally, it is the soul that must be preserved, if one is to remain a credible leader. All else might be lost; but when the soul dies, the connection to earth, to peoples, to animals, to rivers, to mountain ranges, purple and majestic, also di es. And your smile, with which we watch you do gracious battle with unjust characterizations, distortions and lies, is that expression of healthy self-worth, spirit and so ul, that, kept happy and free and relaxed, can find an answering smile in all of us, lighting our way, and brightening the world.

We are the ones we have been waiting for.

In Peace and Joy,
Alice Walker

Quantum mechanically speaking

Books, Poems and Stories, Manifesting, , , , , ,

 There is a lot of talk these days about quantum mechanics and manifesting your desires. Lately it is even getting deeper by saying that life is just a hologram and everyone in it is just a player in our life. Some people go on to say that we have created our whole world and all the players in it by our thoughts and the frequencies that we put out. What does that all mean?

I’m not really sure. You can read The Secret or What the Bleep and get the basics about creating your reality, quantum mechanically speaking. Or you could get the book Busting Loose from the Money Game and really go down the rabbit hole. It gets to the point where they are all saying that you literally create everything that happens in your life. Whoa… The one benefit I did receive from studying all these books was that I started to take more responsibility for all that was happening to me. 

For example, my windshield was broken while the car was parked on the street one night. Typically I would have moaned and groaned about the hassle and cost of getting a new windshield. Instead I tried to see where I was energetically when this happened. I remembered that I had to park far away from my house that day and didn’t feel good about it. I could have gone out later that night and moved my car back to the house but didn’t because I was too tired. If I would have followed my intuition about not feeling good about the parking place my car might have been fine but I didn’t. So I was responsible for this piece of reality. The benefit was that after going through this process I didn’t moan and groan about what happened but accepted it and moved on. I learned from that one lesson that yes I just might create my own reality. The question is, will I be able to continue to do it? Stay tuned.
