Bin Laden’s Death – Does Removing the Cancer Solve the Problem?

The immediate celebratory reaction of the masses to the news of Bin Laden’s death a few weeks ago expressed the idea that bad people must be eliminated, that by wiping these destructive cancers out, our society and the “earth body” will be saved. I am not surprised by the reaction of the masses, and maybe a bit of me celebrated also, but until the root cause of the disease is taken care of we will continue to have these “cancers” resurging.

The root cause of most all personal and global destruction is destructive thinking which is a by-product of two things: first the unawareness of and lack of control of human instincts (which at one time was essential for survival); and secondly the unawareness of and lack of control of our programmed minds (all the ideas and beliefs downloaded into us by our parents, schools, religions, experiences, etc).

We have to be open to other ways of treating these problems such as the way that most alternative healthcare treats cancers in the human body – by optimizing health. The proponents of these types of treatments believe that blasting the cancers should be secondary to a primary effort of taking care of the toxicities and deficiencies in the body until optimal health is built – if lacking vitamin d, get appropriate amount of sunshine; if body is toxic because of the environment, change the environment.

Yes, sometimes in defence of an attack or a tumour we must wipe out these cancers with aggressive actions, until we have a chance to build health. But, many times, blasting the cancer will only be a temporary solution. I’ve seen four of my friends die using the cut, chemo and radiate method. We must be proactive not just reactive. When faced with a cancer we must respond with careful consideration of ALL information including gentler alternative approaches that work at supporting and building the immune system.

Last year while taking a stroll with a friend on a beautiful spring day I was chatting about his ongoing battle with cancer. I bluntly but compassionately asked him about other approaches to cancer and he said he didn’t believe that they would work and would stick to the conventional approach. I sadly attended his funeral 5 months later.

We are likely one of the last generations to hold any such stance of shooting the red warning light off the dash of the car and expect the problem in the engine to be solved. Bin Laden was a red light; lack of awareness and control over our programming and instincts is the societal problem in the engine.

Our children, ALL around the world, from all countries, all cultures, will do better…even the children of the radicals. Some of the children of the fundamentalists have “seen the light” and joined a civil global constructive dialogue. Eventually we will evolve to a ‘better’ way such as shown by the avatars of our religions - Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, Tzu, etc - who promoted “higher” states of consciousness such as “let’s do no harm”…or better yet, “let’s do lots of good”.

We must receive input, reflect and respond proactively and constructively…not receive input, react and retaliate destructively. Instead of spending massive amounts of human, financial, and other resources towards destroying the cancers of our bodies and society, shooting the red light, we must spend our resources towards healing ourselves and the planet.

This “healing” will likely happen soon – it is a transitional time and transitions nowadays seem to be happening faster and faster – just take a look at the acceptance of the internet and social media. Yes in the past it took time for change and the acceptance of change.

When human ingenuity first presented the mechanized weaving apparatus for the textile industry in the early nineteenth century it was radically opposed by the luddites; when women first won the right to vote not every woman wanted to vote...it took time. What took years, decades or even centuries to adapt to a new “better” way is now taking days, hours, minutes. If we are able to be aware of and control our programmed minds and one-time-absolutely-necessary survival instincts we will rapidly evolve to that higher state.

This entire essay basically says that taking a life, regardless of how apparently brutal that person may have been, is not always the best or only answer – let’s get to the root of the cancer, the cause of the red warning light – unfettered instincts and programmed minds – and heal, grow and evolve from there.

Mayan Calendar and How It Can Help Humanity

Thanks to Hollywood’s doom and gloom films most people think of the Mayan calendar as the end of humanity or even the earth.

The Mayan’s did predict an end but it was instead the end of an era of consciousness. Their calendar prophesized that we are about to move into a harmonious time of conscious co-creation.

True or not, the Mayan calendar has the ability to help humanity move to that higher level, through shifting our focus from anger and fear to love and calm.

The Mayan prophecies provide hope, not despair - they are about an evolution of consciousness.

Here's the gist - the evolution of consciousness is on a schedule – the Mayan calendar measures that schedule!

The pattern of that schedule, according to the Mayans, is a pattern of creation itself starting with long periods of time producing certain milestones. Each new period was 20 times shorter than the previous.

The Mayan pyramids in Mexico and elsewhere are physical depictions of that schedule of these periods of time, with each period getting shorter/smaller as you move up the pyramid.

Each faster period of time had a pattern containing the same amount of ultimately positive change in that pattern.

The same amount of change that took billions of years is now taking just a few days – just take a look at technology.

What has happened on the schedule so far according to the Mayan calendar? It goes something like this:

· billion years ago started the cellular cycle which produced the first live cells;

(The next cycle was 20 times faster than the last)

· 840 million years ago was the mammalian cycle producing the first live births;

· 41 million years ago was the family cycle which produced family relationships;

· 2 million years ago began the tribal cycle which produced the Homo Sapiens and tools;

· 102,000 years ago was the creation of the cultural cycle producing agriculture and religious concepts;

· 5000 or so years ago was the advent of sovereign nations and laws;

· 250 years ago began the global economy and eventually produced the internet;

· 10 years ago began the consciousness of ethics – just think of the all the CEO’s who were taken to court for unethical practices;

· And now, beginning this year, is the beginning of a higher levels of consciousness for the masses, namely Conscious Co-creation!

Higher consciousness means that much of humanity will be waking up.

For example imagine a tree with each leaf or a group of leaves believing themselves to be separate from the other leaves, pronouncing that they are better than the other branches, competing with each other to hoard all the sunshine. Then suddenly (either through an aha moment or realizing that their mother tree was dying from neglect or abuse) waking up and acknowledging its connection to the other leaves on the tree and accepting that in order to survive and flourish that all the leaves, not a chosen few, must receive sunshine.

Higher consciousness will mean that humans will healthily challenge their inner mental programming (IMP) and instinctual urges that served us well in our evolution.

Higher consciousness will mean that humans will listen more to their intuition and their hearts then only to their IMP minds.

There is nothing wrong with having a mind and using it but we must use it responsibly.

If a person responsibly acknowledges their mind to be a weapon of personal and global destruction instead of a constructive tool it is the beginning of the evolution of their consciousness.

The evolution of conscious into a more constructive state is part of the path of creation itself. As futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard says “we are witnessing the evolution of evolution”.

Part of our evolution will be becoming aware of the limits of the Gregorian calendar that is commonly used around the world.

Our common calendar is a physical measurement of the earth’s orbit around the sun. It is useful in a sense that it allows us to set goals and meet at specific times.

But it is a ripe time for our consciousness to shift beyond physical time and into a sacred connection with the calendar of the universe.

The Mayan calendar shows that each one of us is part of a larger tribe of humanity, which is part of the ecosystem of a planet that revolves around a tiny star that is part of a galaxy of billions of stars, which is a small part of an infinite amount of galaxies and so on.

The Mayan calendar was measuring the time of this larger picture which was more about the pulse of creation. Call it spiritual or quantum physics (spooky stuff as put by Einstein), they were measuring the non physical component of creation itself.

Yes, there may be some upheavals as we go through the birth of change but it is to be looked at as beautiful as birth itself.

We will be moving from the womb of our current existence into something completely new but with the potential of immense beauty.

We are in the cusp of joining God or Universal Consciousness to participate in the beautiful unfolding of creation itself.

Consider the Mayan calendar to something of great possibilities and let’s join our powers towards good.

Much of the above regarding the Mayan calendar is from researching the intriguing works of Ian Xel Lungold, who dedicated the last years of his short life (passed in 2004) to the teachings of the Mayans. Do yourself a favour and check out his videos and writings on the internet.

Experiment with human awesomeness in 2011 to save our world

It's a great time to be alive!

Its time to save our world. Despite the messes in us and around us, humanity is poised to move to a higher level of consciousness. There is a mental shift maturing amongst humanity – we are on the verge of less sickness, fear and anger and instead having more good health, calm awareness and love!

As we move into the new year of 2011 we continue to witness massive changes or challenges in technology, institutions, the state of the earth and the state of us humans.

Technology is changing every few months – the latest computer or palm gadget is outdated by the time you get comfortable with it.

The institutions of finance, religion, military, medical, governmental, cultural, science, etc are falling apart by their own recklessness or are being challenged by individuals and the masses.

Depending on who is talking, the state of the earth’s ecosystems and its overall health has been on a steady demise.

And “us humans” – with the epidemics of diseases and mental madness – it’s quite obvious that we have some fixing to do.

But all of this is good! What?! Why?

This is good because chaos promotes change. No, I don’t mean that any actual pain and suffering that we are experiencing is good, but that all major positive changes globally or personally are a direct result of chaos or dissatisfaction with the status quo.

In history, poor conditions in a society promoted chaotic civil unrest which brought revolutions and eventually better conditions.

Individually when we become dissatisfied with some aspect of our life it becomes a compelling reason for change, to make improvements.

Major positive reforms are being birthed in all institutions – instead of complying with the destructive agendas of a few, clusters of people everywhere are refusing to accept the status quo and are demanding and co-creating improvements. We are on the verge of human awesomeness.

Instead of conspicuous consumption and designed obsolescence we are steadily heading towards the day when the bottom line will be compassion not increased profits, when science and technology will be focused on and capable of finding solutions to providing the basic needs (and beyond) for all people.

It won’t be long before we will have access to free or very cheap unlimited clean energy – imagine the possibilities with that!

My personal goal is to challenge any troublemaking chatter in my head, to love and forgive others and myself unconditionally, to continuously improve my life such as eating mostly well, exercising just enough, and strengthening my spiritual and physical connection to the earth and other humans.

Even if I wasn’t 100% sure yet that we are indeed part of one united spiritual body, I do know that if more of us at least imagined it to be true, it would be to the benefit of all.

No pressure to you or me but let’s live each day as leaves of the same tree of life – lovingly and compassionately aware of (and in control of) our inner mental programming and instinctual urges – and experiment with human awesomeness in 2011 and beyond.

Will I Learn Meditation for Beginners?

To stay healthy has become a major concern in everyone's life. Today, people struggle to remain free from tension & live a healthy life style. Healthy living comes from healthy thinking that is not only limited to positive thinking but to follow a constructive thinking.

People practice number of activities & exercises to keep themselves fit & young. Trying yoga, aerobics etc is not the only way to achieve a healthy happy life, instead its important to adopt healthy eating habits, practice mental health with proper meditation. When you meditate you may experience an exuberant sigh of relief.

For many of you, just the word 'meditation' may cause anxiety. I know it did for me. When I started, I could not meditate for beans. I just couldn't stop thinking.

Being an extremely active person, sitting calmly for 20 minutes without thinking can this be bring into practice?

If you have the same question, don't give up, this is normal for anyone learning to meditate. Perhaps what’s driving you on is the benefits of meditation such as:

• Feeling healthier
• Sleeping better
• Being Calmer
• Being Less stressed
• Being More focused
• Better concentration

When you practice meditation for beginners you will likely feel a weight lifted off of your shoulders. It’s like living with a huge debt load, losing your job and then learning that you won the lottery.

You may have tried to meditate unsuccessfully once or twice. I know it sounds easy to just sit down and clear your mind for 20 minutes. Don’t get discouraged, this is a normal experience for those trying to learn to meditate.

Besides sitting quietly with no thoughts going through your mind, there is another way, a much easier way to learn how to meditate. You can simply do an active form of meditation.

Don't believe that the only form of meditation is done by sitting still. Doing something that you love & give your full attention to can be a form of meditation.

If you have a run-away mind, an active form of meditation will probably be easier for you to begin. In an active form of meditation, your mind does not have to be completely quiet.

While being active, you are concentrating on something you love to do. By keeping your mind on one thing, you are helping your powers of focus and concentration. I'm sure you'll agree that this is much easier than thinking about nothing.

When you walk, feel the ground under your feet as you place each foot down and also feel the muscles in your legs as you move them forward. Co-ordinate your step with your breath, so each step takes the time of one breath.

As you are doing the walking meditation, the only thing that is important in your life is the step you are taking at that moment. Make each step as smoothly and calmly as you can. Keep your mind totally on the step you are taking, one step at a time.

In the beginning of this active meditation for beginners, your mind may wander. When you notice that it has, bring your attention back to the step you are taking. Once you get the hang of it you will be in a beautiful, calm and blissful state.
