It is Time to Change Our Consciousness

We humans are incredibly polarized in the world today on a variety of issues, many stemming from the economic conditions that have been generated to increase the disparity among people and nations. The Dalai Lama said in this millennium our greatest challenge would be the disparity between The Haves and The Have Nots... and so it appears to be.

I see this disparity not only in economics but in education, human rights, respect for all life on this planet, natural resources... etc... It is essential that we WAKE UP... that we begin to think outside the proverbial box, and think into the future of life united, beyond political systems, governments, color, religion and race.

The only way I know to do that is to begin to think and question our own beliefs, our own choices, our own behavior. To question what influence and price they have on humanity and all life on this planet.

In the evolution of life, polarity is a key factor that preempts transformation, transcendence and change. We seem to be fully in this polarity on this planet, a good sign of evolution.

After having lived for eight months in Japan over the last four years, my eyes, heart and hope has been tremendously opened to tragedy, brilliance, trauma, inspiration, cruelty and kindness... in ever so many ways, in ever so many nations around the world.

No matter what our culture, language, nationality, we all create our own reality from our life experiences, beliefs, social programming and subliminal cultural behaviors that have been used for so many generations that they are unconsciously influencing the masses.

This I believe is what we are awakening to throughout the world; when I am in Japan and read the international news and realize how enormous this change is, I know this is the paradigm shift that is essential for all life to continue.

I was in such despair three years ago because of the atrocities that are being committed in the name of America, worldwide, financed and flaunted by multinational corporations using all nations as pawns on the chessboard of life with humans as the most disposable items. When I recognized this, I knew NOW IS THE TIME for all humans to WAKE UP and think with their heart and soul, and have their thinking begin to direct new beliefs, choices, decisions and actions, or we would not have life as we know it.

I believe the U.S. has a destiny as the youngest nation, the nation created at great risk... by people courageously crossing an ocean, in faith that they would reach the opposite shore. We are instilled with this faith.

Then the first shore was not enough challenge, so across the plains came the next great adventures, to this sacred land of California.

The change is consciousness. It is as huge as was the change in consciousness when we "discovered" that the world is not flat. It never was and never will be. Someone made that up and many died as a result of that erroneous belief, and upon that discovery change had to occur collectively.

Today is another shift in consciousness as huge as the previous one. For me, change is the only truth there is. My heart's desire is that we change with as much consciousness as possible, that we each become accountable for our thinking, our beliefs, our choices, our perceptions and our decisions, and our action. That is the only way we will have a future that does not duplicate...
