Rich Days

Steve 123

Rich, rich days

The energies are so high at the moment that they serve both as an emotional floor, below which I no longer go, and a springboard, enabling me the more easily to launch into transformative love.

They allow me to even conceive of a state like a totally mature spiritual adult. More, they make that state attainable.

No more do I go into depression. Even the perennial loneliness that I used to feel has abated in the face of these wonderful vibratory levels.

Love is right there awaiting us. All we have to do is call it up on the inbreath and breathe it out to the world on the outbreath and it stokes our fires. That same love that comes from our heart is richer than anything else I can think of.

It’s no good to try to hide the love I feel these days. I must be a nuisance sitting in front of my friends and feeling so much love for them. Thank heavens for friends who allow me to love them.

It takes courageous people to allow love in without feeling obligated or threatened. I’m not making a demand on anyone. I just need to express my love or hurt from the suppression of it.

Equally the desire to serve arises naturally in vibrations such as these. If I cannot serve of a day, the day doesn’t feel complete.

The greatest service I or anyone else can give, in my view, is to listen to another. Listening is so valuable and so rare in our society. You’ve heard me say it a hundred times.

But every time a friend extends to me the courtesy of listening – really listening – and every time I extend listening to another, magical things happen. People emerge from their upsets. They feel nourished. They feel elevated.

Loving, serving, listening – what do I do in a day? That’s what I do. And what rich days they are.

David Wilcock, Major New Article, 8-24-15… “Terrifying Global Events: Triggers for Mass Awakening?”… Page 2

David_Wilcock_Search148This is from page 2 of David’s major article (page 1 highlights here).

As in the first part, I am only posting page 2 here, text only, and headings, below, for reference. The images in this part are absolutely captivating, so to view them, go to David’s page. There is excellent documentation of weather warfare, starting back with the Haiti earthquake, the California drought (soon to end?), ET assistance, and the presence of a lot of spheres (Sphere Alliance) in all of this.

Terrifying Global Events: Triggers for Mass Awakening? (page 2)

[links to Page 1, Page 2, all pages]

So-called “natural disasters” may in fact be weaponized attacks. In this section we explore the hard science that lines up with insider testimony about this ongoing menace.

CLICK HERE FOR PART ONE

LET’S TALK ABOUT WEATHER WARFARE FOR A SECOND

Former Secretary of Defense William Cohen admitted in a 1997 press conference that “weather warfare” technology exists.

Any and all attempts to “debunk” this statement cannot change the basic fact that the words did come out of his mouth, and are still available on a US government site.

Fmr. Sec. of Defense William Cohen

It is very commonly known amongst insiders that this technology does exist, and is extremely effective. Multiple factions use it against each other.

The California drought is the worst in over 1200 years. This is an effort by the psychopathic Cabal to destroy America’s food supply on the way out.

I live in Los Angeles and can honestly say this year has been so much hotter than any other, it is both infuriating and mind-boggling to experience.

Even now we are about to surf into yet another nearly intolerable shift of 100-degree days. I have never seen anything like this here before.

4/28/97: Sec. of Defense William Cohen Acknowledges Weather Warfare Technology
http://www.defense.gov/transcripts/transcript.aspx?transcriptid=674

Others are engaging even in an eco- type of terrorism whereby they can alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.

So there are plenty of ingenious minds out there that are at work finding ways in which they can wreak terror upon other nations.

It’s real, and that’s the reason why we have to intensify our efforts. That’s why this is so important.

WAIT A MINUTE, WHERE’S THE PROOF?

We are so glad you asked.

First of all, as an over-arching principle, the HAARP [High Altitude Auroral Research Project] microwave technology should be easy to understand.

You start by creating very high-intensity microwave beams with antenna-mounted emitters. You can point the emitters anywhere you want.

Bounce the microwaves off of the earth’s charged particle layer, known as the ionosphere, and you can direct a focused beam anywhere in the world.

This same principle lets you take a glass lens and concentrate the light of the sun into a tiny point, allowing you to start a fire.

Now let’s think about a microwave oven you probably have at home. If you put water inside the microwave and run it, the water will turn to steam.

If you then put the water inside a sealed container, the steam will cause pressure — and the container will eventually explode.

EXPAND ON THE IDEA OF MICROWAVES AND THINK ABOUT THE WEATHER

Now think about how this could apply to the weather.

Weather cycles are simply the result of high-pressure zones flowing into low-pressure zones. Heat up an area with microwaves and you get higher pressure.

Then, by varying where you direct the beam, you can steer the high-pressure zone wherever you want it to go.

EARTHQUAKES AND VOLCANOES

Similarly, imagine microwaving the slippery rock goo that the continents are floating on, known as the “mantle.”

If you get this rock hot enough, it will slip and slide much more easily.

Do this at any boundary between two plates and it’s like squirting oil in a rusty old hinge.

The plates slide, and boom! You get an earthquake.

These catastrophes are still listed in legal contracts as “Acts of God.” That must make the Cabal feel very proud of themselves.

In the case of a volcano, you have molten rock under high pressure, pushing against a cooler, rocky plug at the base of the cone.

If you heat up that rocky plug enough that it starts to melt and crack apart, the pressurized lava can blast through it.

Boom! You’ve got a volcanic eruption.

IF THIS IS HOW IT WORKS, THEN WHERE IS THE TANGIBLE EVIDENCE?

Again, we are so glad you asked!

Let’s first look at the Fukushima earthquake and mega-tsunami.

Isn’t it interesting that in the days leading up to the big quake on March 11th, there were unusual spikes of heat in the atmosphere over Japan?

“Coincidence.” Not!

Notice how the heat spikes appear right over the fault lines — almost as if it were massaging them into slipping.

5/23/11: Discover: Atmospheric Temp Spiked Before Japan Quake
http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2011/05/23/finally-a-way-to-predict-earthquakes-atmospheric-temp-spiked-before-japan-quake/#.VD32jedfn7A

The team’s analysis, which has not yet been published in a journal yet (only in the non-peer reviewed arXiv), finds that before the earthquake, the number of electrons in the ionosphere above the epicenter increased dramatically, peaking three days before.

The infrared radiation (that is, the heat) grew as well, peaking just hours before….

So far, the connection doesn’t seem like an easily dismissible coincidence:

After analyzing more than 100 other earthquakes, the researchers have found that large (>5.5 magnitude), shallow (<31 miles below the surface) quakes had similar correlations with atmospheric ionization and heat.

HERE IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE…

In case some mega-skeptics try to dismiss Discover as "not quite scientific enough," here is another example from the prestigious MIT Technology Review:

5/18/11: MIT: Atmosphere Above Japan Heated Rapidly Before M9 Quake
http://www.technologyreview.com/view/424033/atmosphere-above-japan-heated-rapidly-before-m9-earthquake/

Today, Dimitar Ouzounov at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre in Maryland and a few buddies present the data from the Great Tohoku earthquake which devastated Japan on 11 March. Their results, although preliminary, are eye-opening.

They say that before the M9 earthquake, the total electron content of the ionosphere increased dramatically over the epicentre, reaching a maximum three days before the quake struck.

At the same time, satellite observations showed a big increase in infrared emissions from above the epicentre, which peaked in the hours before the quake.

In other words, the atmosphere was heating up.

MIT ALSO COVERED THE SAME PHENOMENON FOR THE HAITI QUAKE

The devastating Haiti quake of January 12, 2010 killed over 230,000 people. Notice how the epicenter was conveniently right near the presidential palace and the UN headquarters:
1/13/10: Haiti Devastated By Quake
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8455629.stm

A massive 7.0-magnitude earthquake has struck the Caribbean nation of Haiti….

Haiti's worst quake in two centuries hit south of the capital Port-au-Prince on Tuesday, wrecking the presidential palace, UN HQ and other buildings.

A "large number" of UN personnel were reported missing by the organisation. Many people have spent the night outside amid fears of more aftershocks.

The Red Cross says up to three million people have been affected.

Describing the earthquake as a "catastrophe", Haiti's envoy to the US said the cost of the damage could run into billions.

1/6/15: CNN on Haiti Earthquake Facts
http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/12/world/haiti-earthquake-fast-facts/

The Toll:
230,000–316,000: estimates of the death toll vary.

300,000: number of injured

1.5 million: people initially displaced

85,432: displaced people remain in 123 sites as of September 2014

LET'S HEAR WHAT MIT SAID ABOUT THE HAITI QUAKE

MIT revealed that there were strange anomalies in the atmosphere over Haiti for an entire month prior to the quake.

12/9/10: MIT: Major Spike in ULF Radio Emissions Over Haiti For An Entire Month Before Quake
http://www.technologyreview.com/view/421958/spacecraft-saw-ulf-radio-emissions-over-haiti-before-january-quake/

Now Michael Athanasiou at the Technical University of Serres in Greece and a few buddies say that [the] DEMETER [satellite] spotted good evidence of a change in ultralow frequency radio waves in the ionosphere above Haiti in the run up to the quake.

“The results reveal a significant increase of the energy of ULF waves, up to 360%, for a period of one month before the main earthquake compared with the energy of the background,” they say.

That’s a dramatic increase. These emissions dropped gradually in the month after the quake.

The implications are interesting. Athanasiou and co say:

“The results of this paper clearly indicate that ULF electromagnetic waves can be very useful in revealing possible precursor seismic phenomena.”

FULFORD'S INSIDERS CONFIRMED HAITI WAS AN ATTACK

In a spirited post at the dawn of his paid blog, Benjamin Fulford revealed insider testimony that the Haiti attack was a tipping-point for the Alliance.

Many countries finally realized that earthquakes, volcanoes, typhoons and hurricanes could be deliberately created — and they were not happy about it:

1/16/10: Fulford: Haiti Quake Was A Weaponized Attack
http://benjaminfulford.net/2010/01/18/bushclinton-crime-family-members-to-be-executed-as-a-result-of-haiti-attack/

The members of the Bush/Clinton Nazi crime family made a fatal error when they decided to attack Haiti with an earthquake weapon….

This Nazi cabal sent a CIA agent to the Black Dragon Society to give forewarning of the attack.

The agent talked about the Tsunami unleashed against Indonesia and said “the oil companies won a war and nobody knew about it.”

Well, now everybody knows about it.

The Japanese Yakuza now know the Kobe earthquake of 1995 was the result of a deliberate attack and they are eager for revenge.

The people of Indonesia now know the tsunami was a deliberate attack and they know who ordered it. They are also eager for revenge.

The Chinese now know the 1976 earthquake that killed 655,000 people was a deliberate attack and are eager for justice.

[History.com lists this as the worst earthquake in modern times.]

The people of Haiti also know who attacked them and will also seek revenge. Etc. Etc.

There is now nowhere on earth for these criminals to hide.

It was not lost on the Black Dragon Society that the attack on Haiti came on the anniversary of the Kobe earthquake, but the society has a policy of not responding to threats.

If they think they are going to unleash a Tsunami against Tokyo and get away with it, they are truly insane.

The criminal cabal is also wrong in their belief that they will be able to grab more plunder in the form of “aid” for Haiti. This is not going to happen.

1/25/10: Fulford: Haiti Earthquake Being Discussed as an Attack
http://benjaminfulford.net/2010/01/25/the-federal-reserve-board-may-end-this-week-also-reports-from-secret-negotiations-with-the-pentagon-and-the-chinese/

The Venezuelan government, Iranian government TV, Fox News and many other outlets mentioned the possibility that Haiti was attacked with an earthquake weapon.

This sort of open accusation was unthinkable, for example, when Indonesia was attacked with the earthquake weapon that caused the tsunami there.

In both cases US forces were pre-positioned with “aid” before the earthquakes struck.

The names of the people who ordered the attack have been made public and there will be consequences.

The days of mass murder with impunity are coming to an end.

THE CHILE EARTHQUAKE

Shortly after the Haiti quake, there was a major meeting of the Alliance — unifying the South American countries against the Cabal for the very first time.

Chile was declared to be the head of the South American alliance.

Their term would begin on March 1st — just three days after they made the announcement.

The very next day after the announcement, Chile got hit with a massive quake.

Coincidence?

Here is the article where the Alliance partnership was announced on February 26, 2010:

2/26/10: South America To Create New EU-Type Alliance to Defy US
http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,5293667,00.html?maca=en-rss-en-all-1573-xml-atom

The 24-strong bloc of Latin American states known as the Rio Group is to join the Caribbean Community to form a new trade body intended to present opposition to US dominance. What can it really hope to achieve?

The Rio Group assertively announced the birth of its successor earlier this week, at a summit in a resort town on Mexico's Caribbean coast.

Mexican President Felipe Calderon declared that a new body had been formed that would represent both the Group of Rio and the 15-member Caribbean Community (CARICOM).

Going under the provisional name the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELC), the newly announced body specifically excluded the United States and Canada from membership, and intends to consolidate the sometimes tenuous solidarity among the Central and South American states….

Almost every Latin American country was represented at the annual summit in Mexico, and together they succeeded in formulating some of the values of the sub-continent.

Calderon declared, "We have decided to base an organization on shared values including sovereignty and the non-use of force, including threats of force, international cooperation, ever closer integration of Latin America and the Caribbean and permanent political dialogue."

Historical rhetoric

There was no shortage of high-flown and defiant rhetoric at the meeting, led predictably by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who spoke of finally throwing off the US-yoke….

There was a strong sense that the region's most left-wing, anti-American governments had pioneered the creation of the new organization, which is set to convene for the first time on July 5, 2011, in Caracas, Venezuela…

In an interview with South American broadcaster Telesur, Bolivian president Evo Morales lent his own weight to the vision of a South American brotherhood united against the US.

Morales was among many who recently voiced concern about the huge US military presence now stationed on Haiti and the summit pledged to send a further $25 million (18.5 million euros) to the earthquake-hit country.

"A union of Latin American countries is the weapon against imperialism. It is necessary to create a regional body that excludes the United States and Canada," Morales said.

"Where there are US military bases that do not respect democracy, where there is political empire with his blackmailers, with its constraints, there is no development for that country, and especially there is no social peace."…

On top of this, the six nations that have been chosen to draw up the new body's mission statement — Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic and Venezuela — are mainly countries with no interest in antagonizing the US.

The fact that US-friendly Chile takes over the two-year presidency of the Group of Rio in March is unlikely to sharpen tensions within the Americas either.

FEBRUARY 27, 2010: MASSIVE CHILE EARTHQUAKE

The South American Alliance was announced on February 26, 2010, as we just saw. Chile was the head of the presidency for this alliance, it was announced.

The very next day, Chile got hit with a massive earthquake, affecting over two million people.

If the Cabal had more time to plan this, it undoubtedly would have been far more deadly:

February 27, 2010: Chile Earthquake Affects Two Million People
http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/02/27/chile.quake/

As the sun set in Chile on Saturday, a picture of the immense structural damage wrought by an early morning earthquake had come clearly into focus, with the nation's president estimating that 2 million people had been affected in some way.

More than 300 people were killed, according to Chile's Office of Emergency Management, and 15 are missing.

The carnage from the 8.8-magnitude quake didn't begin to approach that unleashed by January's earthquake in Haiti, which left 212,000 people dead and more than a million homeless, even though it was considerably less forceful, with a 7.0 magnitude.

Saturday's quake was 700 to 800 times stronger, but at a greater depth — 21.7 miles — compared to the shallow 8.1-mile depth of the Haiti quake, which contributed to much of the damage there.

NOW LET'S CONSIDER THE "RIDICULOUSLY RESILIENT RIDGE" BLOCKING RAIN FROM CALIFORNIA

With all of this in mind, let's turn our attention to the California drought, which is now openly seen as the worst in 1200 years — if not longer.

As a resident of Los Angeles, I have been viscerally aware of this battle.
The temperatures in California are vastly higher than usual this year.

The temperatures are vastly higher than usual this year.

It started all the way back in February, where we had high-80-degrees-Fahrenheit temperatures.

It was bad enough to cause people to run their AC. In February. I was almost one of them.

Typically the weather ebbs and flows when you watch the 5-day and 10-day forecast. You have predicted highs and they don't happen, or vice versa.

All year now, I have watched almost every single forecasted temperature get jacked up as the dates get closer.

The "pessimistic" view is almost always correct.

THIS IS ANOTHER ATTACK AGAINST AMERICA

Once you understand that this Cabal realizes they are being defeated, and are very bitter and angry people, it becomes possible to grasp why this is happening.

California produces a majority of the food for America.

If the Cabal can destroy those crops completely, it could trigger mass starvation and social upheaval.

This in turn would require a declaration of martial law.

Under those circumstances they could declare a "state of emergency" and regain the power they are losing.

Then, if they could create other acts of destruction at the same time, they could further amplify the chaos.

WEATHERMEN ARE BAFFLED BY THE "RIDICULOUSLY RESILIENT RIDGE"

In these next excerpts, we see how meteorologists are baffled by this weather formation, which is utterly and completely abnormal — not a function of nature:

1/13/14: Ridiculously Resilient Ridge Cause of California Dry Spell
http://www.montereyherald.com/news/ci_24906063/ridiculously-resilient-ridge-cause-dry-spell

As California struggles through a run of historically dry weather, most residents are looking at falling reservoir levels, dusty air and thirsty lawns.

But meteorologists have fixed their attention on the scientific phenomenon they say is to blame for the emerging drought:

[It is] a vast zone of high pressure in the atmosphere off the West Coast, nearly four miles high and 2,000 miles long, so stubborn that one researcher has dubbed it the "Ridiculously Resilient Ridge."

Like a brick wall, the mass of high pressure air has been blocking Pacific winter storms from coming ashore in California, deflecting them up into Alaska and British Columbia, even delivering rain and cold weather to the East Coast.

Similar high-pressure zones pop up all the time during most winters, but they usually break down, allowing rain to get through to California.

This one, ominously, has anchored itself for 13 months, since December 2012, making it unprecedented in modern weather records and leaving researchers scratching their heads.

"It's like the Sierra — a mountain range just sitting off the West Coast — only bigger," said Bob Benjamin, a forecaster at the National Weather Service in Monterey.

"This ridge is sort of a mountain in the atmosphere. In most years, it comes and goes. This year it came and didn't go."

9/29/14: Ridiculously Resilient Ridge Still Going
http://www.weatherwest.com/archives/tag/ridiculously-resilient-ridge

The Western ridge is forcing Pacific storm systems to take make a sharp poleward turn 1000-2000 miles west of California, advecting copious warm/moist subtropical air toward much higher latitudes in Alaska and British Columbia.

RENSE.COM PUBLISHES PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF MANIPULATION

The article "How the Pacific Storms of 2013-2014 Were Trashed" on Rense.com gives photographic evidence of how this is being done.

Clear, undeniable straight-line formations are shown, revealing how this weather system is being kept so stubbornly in place.
2/18/14: How the Pacific Storms of 2013-2014 Were Trashed
http://www.rense.com/general96/pacstorms.html

Thanks to satellite weather photos, we've been able to observe a persistent, virtually permanent, huge, blocking High Pressure system off the West Coast for the last two months… most of November, December and into January.

We have watched the satellite photos reveal how storm after storm formed up, as usual, in the Kamchatka, Korea and Northern Japan (Fukushima) areas of the North West Pacific.

We've watched them move from West to East – like they have always done – to deliver their life-giving rain and snow to keep the US green and verdant.

These storm systems, wave after wave, fill our lakes and rivers with water, rain on our vast agricultural lands and cover the Sierras, Cascades and Rockies with snow.

However, for some *strange* reason, not one of them has made it through the immense high pressure blockade sitting off the West Coast this winter.

Why? These often robust rain systems run into the High Pressure 'brick wall' and are broken down into pieces with much of their water content raining back into the Pacific….

Here we are two days later and you can see the High Pressure is back off California, stronger than ever…

COULD BENEVOLENT EXTRATERRESTRIALS DO ANYTHING TO HELP US?

The idea that some people still do not believe in ETs visiting earth, in light of all the evidence, is truly mind-boggling.

This shows how effective the Cabal's media indoctrination and mass brainwashing has been.

Thankfully, this is finally changing. Too many insiders have come forward. Too much evidence has been presented.

The Internet has de-centralized the control of information, and with it has come a veritable plethora of disclosure.

The mainstream media now has to play catch-up or risk becoming completely irrelevant.

MSM: APOLLO ASTRONAUT EDGAR MITCHELL REVEALS ETs PREVENTING NUCLEAR WAR

The mainstream media erupted just over a week ago with sensational news. This was just one of many signs of an ongoing disclosure process in action.

Apollo astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, who walked directly on the moon's surface, has now revealed that benevolent ETs are protecting us from nuclear war.

Dr. Mitchell bases this on the testimony of multiple insiders he has had direct contact with.

NASA Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell

If these ETs are protecting us from nuclear war, it is reasonable to assume they would help us out in cases of severe weather warfare as well.

They do appear to have a "Prime Directive" that does not allow them to stop every atrocity — but they also will not allow the planet itself to be destroyed.

SPIN-DOCTORS ATTEMPT TO TAKE DOWN AN AMERICAN HERO

In the articles that revealed the nuclear prevention plan, British spin-minister Nick Pope was used to attempt to discredit one of America's greatest heroes.

Bear in mind that the tests of intelligence, bravery and physical stamina required to become a NASA astronaut were among the most demanding on earth.

Who will you decide to trust? It's up to you.

That's what's cool about disclosure.

So far, you get to decide when you are ready to accept the truth.

LET'S READ EXCERPTS FROM THE DISCLOSURE ARTICLES

This was a major event, in case you haven't seen it, so it is worth reviewing for the context of our discussion.

Though there was widespread coverage, we will focus here on three top British papers — the Mirror, the Daily Mail and the Telegraph:

8/11: Edgar Mitchell: Peace-Loving ETs Helped Save America From Nuclear War
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/science/peace-loving-aliens-tried-save-6235113

The sixth man to walk on the surface of the moon has made the astonishing claim that aliens came to Earth to stop a nuclear war between America and Russia.

Edgar Mitchell, a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission in 1971, told Mirror Online that top-ranking military sources spotted UFOs during weapons tests.

The astronaut has been outspoken about his belief in aliens ever since he landed on the surface of the moon, becoming one of the most prominent figures in the worldwide UFO community.

He told us military insiders had seen strange crafts flying over missile bases and the famous White Sands facility, where the world's first ever nuclear bomb was detonated in 1945.

Mitchell grew up in New Mexico near both the bomb testing zone and Roswell, where believers think one of the world's most famous UFO encounters took place.

"You don't know the area like I do," he said in an interview with Mirror Online.

"White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons — and that's what the extraterrestrials were interested in.

"They wanted to know about our military capabilities.

"My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth."

Mitchell also suggested he had heard similar stories from people who manned missile bases during the most tense parts of the 20th century.

"I have spoken to many Air Force officers who worked at these silos during the Cold War," he continued.

"They told me UFOs were frequently seen overhead and often disabled their missiles.

"Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their [test] missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft.

"There was a lot of activity in those days."

We asked Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO researcher, whether he believed Mitchell's claims.

"Edgar Mitchell is an honourable and truthful man, who I've had the privilege of meeting," he said.

"But so far as I'm aware, most of his information on this issue comes not from things he's experienced himself, but from things he's been told by others.

"Clearly, because of who he is, he's had access to government, military and intelligence community personnel at the highest level, but because — quite understandably — he won't name his sources, we can't be certain these people were being straight with him, or indeed that they were privy to any classified information about UFOs."

8/12: Edgar Mitchell Claims ETs Saved America From Nuclear War
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-3195416/Aliens-tried-save-America-nuclear-war-UFOs-shot-missiles-White-Sands-protect-Earth-claims-former-astronaut.html

Aliens came to Earth to stop a nuclear war between America and Russia, according the bizarre claim of a former astronaut….

Dr Mitchell says stories from people who manned missile bases during the 20th Century back up his claims.

'Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their [test] missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft,' he said.

He previously said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.

He claimed our technology is 'not nearly as sophisticated' as theirs and 'had they been hostile', he warned 'we would be been gone by now'.

Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO researcher, told DailyMail.com that Dr Mitchell's comments are all based on second-hand reports.

'Even where Mitchell's sources are genuine, how do we know they have access to classified information about UFOs?' asks Pope.

UFO believers say it's no coincidence that aliens showed up very shortly after we'd developed atomic weapons and rocket technology, as this is when they were alerted to the threat we pose to the wider cosmos….

Dr Mitchell, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering and a Doctor of Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics also says the Roswell cover up was real.

'This is really starting to open up,' he told a radio show several years ago. 'I think we're headed for real disclosure and some serious organisations are moving in that direction.'

Officials from Nasa were quick to play the comments down.

In a statement at the time, a spokesman said: 'Nasa does not track UFOs. Nasa is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe.

'Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.'

8/13: Retired Astronaut Says Peace-Loving ETs Stopped Nuclear War
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/space/11800079/Peaceloving-aliens-stopped-nuclear-war-on-earth-says-retired-astronaut.html

GIANT SPHERES COMING INTO OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

Kent Steadman (1942-2008) extensively documented the arrival of huge, planet-sized spheres into our solar system in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

This was done on his website, CyberspaceOrbit.com.

It was hard to read and often technical, but month after month, year after year the spheres appeared.

I did not cover this story back in those days, but I was following it every week.

I was astonished at how many of these spheres came and went — without a word from NASA or the government.

The photographs and animated GIFs were right there for anyone bothering to look — but hardly anyone was.

A MAJOR EVENT INVOLVING TWO SPHERES ON JUNE 2ND, 1998

One dramatic example occurred when two spheres flew into the sun on June 2nd, 1998.

They apparently portaled out and caused a coronal mass ejection (CME) at the same time.

Even if these were just "comets," in the conventional model, comets are not supposed to cause the sun to do this — so it must be a "coincidence."

In case the above animated GIF freezes up, here is another, slower, 12-frame animated image of it happening:

Then, just a week later, these LASCO images showed a planet-sized object moving past the sun, from right to left, at high speed.

Oh. Right. Not a comet this time. It must be Mars. Or Mercury. Come on guys, think of something!

Two of these images were taken on June 9th, 1998, then another on the 10th and another on the 11th:

The lines you see off to the sides are caused by these spheres overloading the light sensors on the satellite. They are not "wings," as some theorized.

COMETS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO CREATE CME'S

For years, NASA ignored multiple images of these planet-sized spheres on their own satellites. Kent Steadman tracked the story diligently.

There are not enough planets in our inner solar system to even begin to account for the number of sphere sightings Steadman documented.

In the case where these two alleged "comets" caused a CME, NASA simply dismissed it as "Likely Unrelated."

I literally laughed out loud when I read this:

6/4/98: SOHO Sees Two Comets Plunge Into Sun
http://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/newsroom/oldesapr/info19.html

In a rare celestial spectacle, two comets have been observed plunging into the Sun's atmosphere in close succession, on June 1 and 2.

This unusual event on Earth's own star was followed on June 2 by a likely unrelated but also dramatic ejection of solar gas and magnetic fields on the southwest (or lower right) limb of the Sun.

The observations of the comets and the large erupting prominence were made by the LASCO coronagraph on ESA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft.

Science instruments on SOHO have discovered more than 50 comets, including many so-called sun grazers, but none in such close succession.

We covered some of this data in Secret Space Program Revealed, from June 14th, 2015.

THE AMOUNT OF DATA FAR EXCEEDS OUR AVAILABLE TIME FOR ANALYSIS

Please bear in mind that there are many dozens of different photographic examples of this, with writeups, on Steadman's site.

I am supposed to be working on my next book right now.

I simply do not have the time to do a detailed write-up of all of these different sightings of gigantic spheres.

So, before you knock this and say there is "no evidence," bear in mind that there are many dozens of compelling photographic pieces of evidence available.

There is no question that gigantic spheres were flying around our sun in the late 1990s, and NASA was covering it up.

The real question is not whether this happened. It did.

The real question is "who are they and where did they come from?"

MYSTERIOUS GIANT SPHERES ENTERING OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, BEGINNING IN 1980s

Back in 2009, insider Pete Peterson told me a Neptune-sized sphere came into our solar system in the 1980s.

At first they thought it was a new planet — until it very clearly began steering itself and making course corrections.

This caused great concern in the Reagan White House.
No. We are not going to do a "Circling Around Uranus" joke here.

It came in, circled Pluto, then Neptune, then Uranus and started heading for Saturn.

At this point it was contacted by a classified space-faring craft.

This was Area 51-type stuff we're not supposed to have.

The sphere was asked to leave — and it did so, peacefully.

Three other high-ranking insiders I have direct contact with confirmed this event did take place.

HUNDREDS MORE SPHERES ARRIVED IN THE LATE 1990s

Then, according to space program insider Corey Goode, hundreds more of these spheres came into our solar system in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

The pictures I just showed you are only a few of the many, many examples you can find for yourself by going through Steadman's archives.

These spheres either portaled in and out through the sun, as we saw above, or they came in through the outside, through the Oort cloud.

THE CABAL PEOPLE GOT VERY EXCITED

At the time, the Cabal people were very excited about this, believing it was the return of their extraterrestrial Sumerian gods — but nothing happened.

The spheres did not respond to any hailing signals.

They just drifted around and minded their own business.

This remained a huge mystery (pun intended.)

However, secrecy is the rule. NASA wasn't about to tell the public what they were seeing on SOHO.

If you went and looked, you could see it for yourself. The truth was "hiding out in the open."

That's how the Cabal loves to do it. "We didn't lie to you! You just never bothered to look!"

100 MASSIVE SPHERES COME IN, STARTING IN 2012

Then in 2012, insiders were shocked to see over 100 gigantic new spheres come in.

They were massive — either the size of Neptune or Jupiter. And this time they were cloaked.
Over 100 super-massive spheres the size of Neptune and Jupiter entered our solar system in 2012.

Before long, the insiders found out what was going on.

Five different types of beings were inside these spheres — and they were working to defeat the Cabal.

They contacted a division of the secret space program known as Solar Warden and gave them the tools they needed to ensure victory.

The Solar Warden faction has been able to use this "donated" technology to prevent the Cabal from creating many different epic disasters ever since.

DECEMBER 5, 2014: CABAL ALLEGEDLY FIRES ON GIANT SPHERE

On December 5th, 2014, three separate insiders revealed that the Cabal opened fire on one of these spheres with a massive weapon.

The sphere was parked near our moon, but further back — causing it to be about a fifth the apparent diameter of the moon from our perspective.

The sphere was cloaked — but once this red beam hit it, the sphere lit up like a Christmas tree.

The International Space Station was right there, in camera range, to capture the light show.

Had there been a huge explosion, the Cabal would have done something to "debunk" the whole thing.

That's what they were hoping for. Ringside seats.

The Cabal did not get what they expected.

12/5: Strange Red Sphere Appears Over Earth Near ISS
http://www.theepochtimes.com/n3/1125298-ufo-sighting-strange-red-sphere-appears-over-earth-via-international-space-station/

UFO enthusiasts poring over International Space Station footage seemingly have found a “massive red sphere” shooting a “laser beam.”

The video footage was captured on Dec. 5. As one blog notes, “It is not clear whether the object (Man-made or extraterrestrial) shoots the beam towards an object in space or Earth.”

The footage was captured at around 9:20 a.m. UK time, as seen below:

One user speculated on Youtube that it was a “ground-based laser satellite shot.”

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, IS THAT….

Pardon me for mimicking the "verbal pauses" of how many people speak these days when they are about to say something heavy.

It's good to lighten things up a bit here.

Goode's insiders, along with others I was in contact with, revealed that the Cabal fired on this sphere with a very powerful weapon based in Pine Gap, Australia.

The sphere reversed the beam back onto the base… and destroyed it.

Many top Cabal people, including multiple high-level people from Canada, were lost in the resulting explosion.

This type of defensive move is completely consistent with the philosophy that is expressed in the Law of One series, which we have covered here for many years.

The beings piloting the spheres do appear to be the same beings responsible for writing the Law of One, and helping us out in other direct ways.

This has been one of the greatest and most unexpected surprises in this entire journey for me.

THIS WAS A GAME-CHANGER

After this massive attack was repelled, a series of dramatic steps were taken by the beings in the spheres to protect our planet from harm.

This included creating an unprecedented "Outer Barrier" around the solar system itself, and enforcing a no-fly zone around the earth.

The Solar Warden faction was given the go-ahead to shoot down any individual or group trying to enter or exit the earth — keeping us strictly protected.

THE SPHERES BLAST STRANGE BEAMS OF LIGHT INTO THE EARTH

Less than a month later, the spheres blasted strange beams of light into the earth on January 3, 2015.

No one on the inside knew what was being done, or why.

The beams did not seem to target any obvious locations. It was a mystery.

Corey Goode discussed this and other events in recent episodes of our show Cosmic Disclosure.

We will probably go into this in our radio show, which is about to start in the next 90 minutes. I just checked the clock… 5:55.

PILLARS OF LIGHT ON JANUARY 3, 2015

This event created a much bigger disruption within the insider world than it did within the UFO community. Certain sites did cover it briefly.

Unfortunately, most purportedly "channeled" information is contaminated by the conscious mind and the imagination.

However, in this case a woman named Alexandra apparently got accurate data that confirmed what others had visibly seen around the world.

Fishermen in Alaska, for example, witnessed a massive, mile-wide pillar of purplish light beaming down into the ocean near their boats.

The Cabal went through great lengths to scrub any actual photos of this event off of the internet — even through deleting images off of people's smartphones.

Alexandra may have seen some of these images before they were scrubbed, or had friends who witnessed it — but this is what she had to say:

1/6: Pillars of Light Seen in Skies on January 3, 2015
http://in5d.com/something-huge-just-happened/

Something HUGE just happened to our planet on Friday.

It began with a cryptic text message received from a friend of mine, which then led to a phone call with James G.

[This was] followed by several incoming phone calls and emails that all led to confirming what I “saw” Friday around 11:15 am PST (probably 11:11)!

This is BIG folks and I want everyone to understand the magnitude of what is going down right now.

I saw many massive “Pillars of Light” descending onto Planet Earth at this time (Friday morning.) As they landed, a big “thump” was felt etherically.

I heard it was “Guardians/Ancient Light Beings” who had arrived and caused a bursting of Light from Mother Earth’s Crystal Core, looking a bit like cogs of Light pressing outwards.

The impact of their arrival was the catalyst for this explosion of light from within.

I then asked about funding for major projects. Was it true that this was coming shortly? I was told yes.

When I asked if the rumors of the dark interfering as before had any accuracy, I was told “they had no means to do so anymore.”

I was shown that the presence of these Guardians would “nullify the technological abilities” of the dark’s efforts.

I kept hearing “game over” and a reminder of God’s Decree, which is “enough is enough.”

ONE VIDEO OF THIS EVENT MAY HAVE SURVIVED

This next video, posted January 29, 2015, may possibly be one of the surviving sightings of these beams coming in:

SIMILAR TO A 2009 BEAM OF LIGHT SIGHTING INTO KUKULKAN PYRAMID

On July 24, 2009, a tourist from El Salvador photographed a most remarkable pillar of light, seemingly beaming directly into the top of the Kukulkan pyramid.

He did not see it with the naked eye in this case, but it was visible on the camera when he brought it back to the bus. This caused him great surprise:

Skeptics have tried to write this off as an image artifact caused by the flash of lightning behind it.

However, this does not answer several key questions.

Why does the beam go directly into the top of the pyramid — not off to the left where the bolt of lightning is?

Why is there no sign at all of the beam below where it strikes the top of the pyramid? If it were a "camera glitch" it should continue down further.

Why does the beam have such a remarkable gradient of brightness changes — even well above where the lightning bolt is visible?

ARE THESE BEAMS RESPONSIBLE FOR HEALING THE EARTH FROM THE CALIFORNIA HAARP ATTACK?

On August 13th, the headlines stunned us with remarkable relief. Finally.

A massive El Nino is heating up the crust under the oceans off the coast of California.

This is warming up the surface of the ocean dramatically — and should lead to a massive inundation of rainfall this winter.

Thank God! Or thank someone!

INCREDIBLY, THE MSM STILL ENCOURAGES US TO FEAR, FEAR, FEAR

This is such good news that it borders on Divine Intervention. That may be exactly what we are seeing.

It is possible that the beams coming from the spheres are heating up the interior of the earth.

This heating effect may be caused by a technology the Cabal is unable to thwart with their own HAARP gadgetry.

I could hardly believe my eyes when the articles on this all focused on the negative — like mudslides and flooding.

Oh, no!

WE GET IT

Look. Guys. Listen. We get it.
The mainstream media's attempt to turn a huge rain blessing for California into more fear porn is pathetic.

Lots of water will create lots of problems.

Some people will have property damage. A few may even die from it.

But for God's sake, if we're going to get two years' worth of rainfall this winter, that is a GOOD thing.

Take this drought and shove it!

8/13: “Godzilla of El Nino” May Be Coming to Southern California
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-el-nino-20150813-htmlstory.html

After the summer 1997 El Niño muscled up, the following winter gave Southern California double its annual rainfall and dumped double the snowpack in the Sierra Nevada, an essential source of precipitation for the state’s water supply, Patzert said.

A strong El Niño can shift a subtropical jet stream that normally pours rain over the jungles of southern Mexico and Central America toward California and the southern United States….

The effects of this muscular El Niño – nicknamed “Bruce Lee” by one blogger for the National Weather Service – are already being felt worldwide.

While a strong El Niño can bring heavy winter rains to California and the southern United States, it can also bring dry weather elsewhere in the world….

In California, officials have cautioned the public against imagining that El Niño will suddenly end the state’s chronic water challenges.

In fact, it would take an astonishing 2.5 to three times the average annual precipitation to make up for the rain and snow lost in the central Sierra mountain range over the last four years of drought, said Kevin Werner, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's expert on climate in the western United States.

That amount far exceeds what happened in 1983, the wettest year on record for that region, when the area got 1.9 times the average annual precipitation, Werner said.

"A single El Niño year is very unlikely to erase four years of drought," Werner said.

"The drought is not ending any time soon," Halpert added.

California has been dry for much of the last 15 years. Even if California gets a wet winter this year, it could be followed by another severe multiyear drought.

WAIT A MINUTE, LET'S LOOK AT THIS…

How the hell do you take the best news we have ever had since this whole thing started and turn it into more fear porn?

Honestly.

Okay. So in 1983, that El Nino event dumped almost two times more water on California than it usually would get.

And this event is supposed to be just as big, if not bigger:

8/13: “Godzilla of El Nino” Rains Coming to Southern California
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/federal-experts-current-el-nino-could-be-historically-strong_55ccdb1fe4b0cacb8d3343a9

Federal meteorologists say the current El Niño is already the second strongest on record for this time of year and could be one of the most potent weather changers of the past 65 years.

The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration recorded unusual warmth in the Pacific Ocean in the last three months.

El Niño is a heating of the equatorial Pacific that changes weather worldwide, mostly affecting the United States in winter.

“This definitely has the potential of being the Godzilla El Niño,” Bill Patzert, a climatologist with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, told the Los Angeles Times.

“Everything now is going to the right way for El Niño. If this lives up to its potential, this thing can bring a lot of floods, mudslides and mayhem.”

NOAA's Mike Halpert said Thursday the current El Niño likely will rival past super El Niños in 1997-1998, 1982-83 and 1972-73.

8/13: Current El Nino Could Be Historically Strong
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/federal-experts-current-el-nino-could-be-historically-strong_55ccdb1fe4b0cacb8d3343a9

JUST BACK OFF!

Two times more water is a very good thing.

We may need two and a half times or three times more to finish the job. True.

But hell yeah, we'll take two YEARS' worth of rain for starters.

Don't tell us this won't make things any better.

We don't want to hear it.

Everything is deadly bone dry. This will wonderfully replenish the environment here.

IN THE NEXT SECTION WE WILL GO INTO THE ALLIANCE MUCH MORE THOROUGHLY

Now as we head into the next section, we will present the back-story of the alliance.

Once you see and survey the data for yourself, you may well realize how much you have been lied to — and how interesting the story really is.

The Cabal has been playing the game of "Information Saturation," bombarding the alternative media with shocking and false headlines to distract us.

The real story is hiding out in the open. It is available if you know where to look. The mainstream media ignores it, but once you see it, everything makes sense.

RADIO SHOW IN 90 MINUTES!

The remaining two sections are almost done, but not done enough to publish.

I needed this out before we go on the air. So it will have to be broken up into two parts.

Corey Goode and I will be discussing the spheres, the Alliance and the greater cosmic drama that is playing itself out at this time.
The inside intel we have been leaking on this site is starting to come true. In a big way.

These market crashes are precisely what Goode's insiders, and all the others out there, have been forecasting.

It is very important to remain calm and focus on the positive as these events occur.

We will definitely be discussing how much our consciousness affects reality. Don't miss the show!

Go to jimmychurchradio.com for more information.

And don't hate on him for the ads and talk in the first half hour. It's a real radio show, not a podcast!

UPDATE, SAME NIGHT: OK, HERE IT IS!

Here is a working link to the audio from our show — for those who didn't catch it. Our part of the show begins slightly after the first 30 minutes:

If you would like to see the first two episodes of our TV show, Cosmic Disclosure, free of charge, go to http://www.blueavians.com.

Your subscription gets you over 130 episodes of my show Wisdom Teachings, just as many of George Noory's show (including a stunning interview with Corey), two seasons of my interview show Disclosure, and now this!

You get a whole month to check things out for 99 cents. And that's it. If you cancel, there is no penalty charge, hidden fees or other skullduggery.

If you have Roku, Google Play, Amazon Fire, a Playstation or an Xbox, you can watch it on the big-screen TV like anything else — flawlessly.

The first three devices I listed are all between 20 and 40 dollars and plug right into the HDMI port on your TV.

TO BE CONTINUED…

We will continue working on the rest of this article and see how events play out on the world stage at the same time.

I have a major deadline to hand in the first draft of the first half of my book by mid-September, so once I get this second half done I really need to focus.

Stay tuned!

Effective Altruism – Part 1/2

Effective Altruism 1

Credit: lesswrong.com

Thanks to Ed for this Wikipedia reference.

Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement that applies evidence and reason to determine the most effective ways to improve the world. Effective altruists aim to consider all causes and actions, and then act in the way that brings about the greatest positive impact.[1] It is this broad evidence-based approach that distinguishes effective altruism from traditional altruism orcharity. While a substantial proportion of effective altruists have focused on the nonprofit sector, the philosophy of effective altruism applies much more broadly, e.g., to prioritizing the scientific projects, companies, and policy initiatives which can be estimated to save and improve the most lives.[2] Notable people associated with the movement include Peter Singer[3], Dustin Moskovitz[4] and Toby Ord[5].

Philosophy

Effective altruism begins with a personal commitment to making a change in the world and caring enough to remain engaged in the long-term and focused on best practices that make a difference. The resources that a philanthropist then gives are directed toward efforts that bring the desired positive change to fruition. Effective altruism differs from other types of philanthropy in that the outcome maximizes social good. Many philanthropists do not give in the attempt to maximize social good. Obligatory giving such as Zakat, reciprocal giving, giving to an issue that has affected one’s personal life and giving for notoriety may not be high impact because the emphasis is not consciously centered on social outcomes. Effective altruism focuses on the results of one’s donations as well as other methods of accomplishing good, such as career and volunteer work.

Overhead costs

Traditional charity evaluation has often been based on prioritizing charities with minimal overhead costs and high proportional spending on projects. However, effective altruist organizations reject this standard as simplistic and flawed.[6][7] Dan Pallotta[8] argues that charities should be encouraged to spend more on fundraising if it ensures they increase the amount they can allocate to the charitable service overall. Additionally, a study by Dean Karlan “found that the most effective charities spent more of their budget on administrative cost than their less-effective competitors”,[9] presumably because spending on administration costs may include analyses of whether a particular activity is effective or not. Thus, the extra spending on admin could lead to resources being focused on the best activities.

Cost-effectiveness

Effective altruists seek to identify charities that achieve a large amount of good per dollar spent. For example, they select health interventions on the basis of their impact as measured by lives saved per dollar, quality-adjusted life years (QALY) saved per dollar, ordisability-adjusted life years (DALY) averted per dollar. The DALY is a key measure employed by the United Nations World Health Organization in such publications as its Global Burden of Disease.[10][11] This measure of disease burden is expressed as the number of years lost due to ill-health, disability or early death.

The primary method of measuring impact is the randomized controlled trial. Randomized controlled trials are considered to be a reliable form of scientific evidence in the hierarchy of evidence that influences healthcare policy and practice because randomized controlled trials reduce spurious causality and bias. Certain medical interventions (like vaccination) are already backed by high-quality medical research, and so there is a lower burden of proof for charities doing these types of programs.[12] The following academic groups do randomized controlled trials on other types of interventions as well: Poverty Action Lab[13] and Innovations for Poverty Action.[14]

Effective giving is an important component of effective altruism because some charities are far more effective than others.[15] Some charities simply fail to achieve their goals. Of those that do succeed,GiveWell reports that some achieve far greater results with less money.[16] The health improvements of high impact projects can be 100 times more effective than low impact projects.[17]

Marginal impact

The effective altruist charity evaluator GiveWell has emphasized the importance of evaluating each charity’s room for more funding.[18] In general, effective altruists believe that selecting a cause to contribute to should be based on the marginal value that resources would accomplish at the margin, rather than based on what has already been accomplished.

Impartiality

Effective altruists reject the view that some lives are intrinsically more valuable than others. For example, they believe that a person in a developing country has equal value to a person in one’s own community. As Peter Singer notes:

It makes no difference whether the person I can help is a neighbour’s child ten yards away from me or a Bengali whose name I shall never know, ten thousand miles away. […] The moral point of view requires us to look beyond the interests of our own society. Previously […], this may hardly have been feasible, but it is quite feasible now. From the moral point of view, the prevention of the starvation of millions of people outside our society must be considered at least as pressing as the upholding of property norms within our society.[19]

In addition, many effective altruists think that future generations have equal moral value to currently existing people, so they focus on reducing existential risks to humanity. Others believe that the interests of non-human animals should be accorded the same moral weight as similar interests of humans and work to prevent the suffering of animals, such as those raised in factory farms.[20]

Counterfactual reasoning

Effective altruists argue that counterfactual reasoning is important to determine which course of action maximizes positive impact. Many people assume that the best way to help people is through direct methods, such as working for a charity or providing social services.[21][22] Since charities and social-service providers usually can find people willing to work for them, effective altruists compare the amount of good somebody does in a conventional altruistic career to how much good would have been done had the next-best candidate been hired for the position. According to this reasoning, the impact of choosing a conventional altruistic career may be smaller than it appears.[23]

The earning to give strategy has been proposed as a possible strategy for effective altruists. This strategy involves choosing to work in high-paying careers with the explicit goal of donating large sums of money to charity. Benjamin Todd and William MacAskill have argued that the marginal impact of one’s potentially unethical actions in such a lucrative career would be small, since someone else would have done them regardless, while the impact of donations would be large.[24][25]

Cause prioritization

Although there is a growing emphasis on effectiveness and evidence among nonprofits, this is usually done with a single cause in mind, such as education or climate change.[26] Effective altruists, however, seek to compare the relative importance of different causes.[27]

Effective altruists attempt to choose the highest priority causes based on whether activities in each cause area could efficiently advance broad goals, such as increasing human or animal welfare. They then focus their attention on interventions in high priority areas. Several organizations are performing cause prioritisation research.[28][29]

The cause priorities of effective altruists include: poverty in thedeveloping world, the suffering of animals in factory farms, andhumanity’s long-term future.[27]

Example

The cost of a guide dog for the blind is $42,000.[30] As an alternative, the cost of performing surgery to correct trichiasis, the blinding stage of trachoma, often costs as little as $40 in developing countries.[31]This surgery is 80% effective. Therefore, sight can be restored to 840 people for the cost of one guide dog, and the guide dog does not restore sight.[32]

(To be concluded tomorrow.)

We Are the People We’ve Been Waiting For


People Handsin the Air FestivalPhillip J. Watt, Contributor
Waking Times

If you haven’t figured it out yet, there’s a global awakening going on. Those people who are waking up to the true realities of the world are doing so in a large variety of ways; however some of us only get some of it, whilst others are playing with as much of it as they can. The harsh truth though is that most of us don’t get much of it at all.

Thankfully, it is changing. Person by person, group by group, powerful conversations are occurring in the conscious society and we’re inching closer to the tipping point which will send the collective consciousness of humanity into a dawn of illumination and activism. This will be the beginning of building a world where we can truthfully say that we care about each other and our environment. One day, we’ll have become truly educated.

The two overarching areas of the ‘collective awakening’ are captured in the internal realm and the external realm. Moreover, waking up in each of these dimensions is composed of two parts: the first is a greater clarity of the current state of reality, whilst the second is what needs to change.

Continuing with the duality theme, there are two aspects that really portray what’s going on inside of us. Becoming aware of our infinite spiritual nature is the first, where we tap into our experience of consciousness in expanding and interconnecting ways. The other is personal growth, which of course is about healing and balancing out our emotional, psychological, intellectual and other human vitalities.

On the outside, once again there are two areas that reflect where our concentration should rest. The first is the reality of the world around us, including dysfunctional power structures and the social systems in need of change, especially the way that we economise our global society. The second area is how we personally contribute to the societal activism that is collectively required to realise the evolution of our uniting global culture into a more healthy, happy, harmonious, honourable and environmentally-friendly future for our people.

After all, playing our small part in giving back for the benefit of each other is everyone’s responsibility.

Recently, the global economic “correction” has been all over the news. If we follow the right experts, we’d have known this was coming and that it’s nowhere near finished. Nevertheless, there’s no need to fear. This inevitable downturn in our global economy will be a process, with months of swings that may even last a couple of years. Eventually though, it will lead to an economic reset and hopefully even a huge transformation to the system if we capitalise on it appropriately. This just might be the catalyst for change that we’ve been waiting for.

Being the initial phase, we’ve got time to think of the billions of people who suffer from the immoral actions of a corrupt central banking system owned by private banking families. We should also organise our minds and hearts to be aligned with the awakening community and contribute to the tipping point. Simply, this is our opportunity to collectively debate and agree on alternatives to this bull**** story that we’ve been conditioned to believe as the only way to design our lives.

Integral to this process is understanding the need for change to the materialistic, individualistic and consumerist culturewhich has been born from the capitalist structure. These ideological frameworks have generated highly toxic levels of greed, competition, corruption and vanity, as well as decimated the natural systems of earth. Most humans, however, are loving and giving at their core, so if we redesign the system, we encourage healthier values to manifest for both individuals and the whole.

Make no mistake about it though; we’re living in crazy town. There are a massive tribe of people who already understand this systemic shift loud and clear, including those who made up the Occupy Movement, who are still itching for this change today. There are more grass roots movements that want this too, including Permaculture, The Venus Project, Ubuntu, Zeitgeist, Anonymous andTransition Towns, as well as many others. And even though there are many alternative economists and social commentators that are screaming for change to the models that fuel our social engines, we must also accept that the masses are still locked into the matrix media that has been bought by the power structures as a tool to maintain the status quo.

So, why do we need change? This is summarised in 11 Toxic Realities Society is Finally Waking Up About. To elaborate, 22,000 children die from poverty each day. There is a growing number of people who can’t find work, which will no doubt continue to skyrocket over the coming years. Massive numbers of immigrants are fleeing Africa and the Middle East from their war torn countries. There are millions of people in the US, let alone all over the world, who are on food subsidies. People are in the depths of emotional and physical poverty that is increasing all over the world, including in Australia and other ‘developed’ countries. And we definitely need change for the majority of the people who “believe” they’re disconnected from their unity and who are strongly lacking peace in their humble but majestic existence.

Plus, we need change for ourselves. Every person needs to understand this mess that we’re in, so together we can identify the problems and design solutions. To start, the single most systemic priority we should have right now as a uniting global culture is to redesign our global economy for the benefit of all people, so please click on this link now and sign the petition.

If we still don’t understand all of this, don’t fret; all of us at some point didn’t either. But personally I am still yet to meet one person that didn’t want substantial change too once they truly understood the depths of the problems. The reality is that we’re told it is the way that it needs to be, that there are no alternative solutions and that we just have to accept things the way they are. Well, that’s utter bull****. There are legitimate alternatives, both short and long term solutions, and if we actually do awaken like so many grass roots movements and individuals are doing all over our gorgeous earth, we may actually facilitate the change that we desperately need.

Our future communities are relying on us.

The Result? Play Our Small Part in Transforming the Internal and External Realms

An interview with Zen Gardner

Zen is a writer, speaker and activist in helping people disconnect from mainstream programming. He is an expert in living outside of the system whilst still engaging with it to spread love and wonder. His website is full of truth serums on the world at large.

In this interview he discusses the awakening he has gone through, both in his spiritual and systemic understanding. He emphasises the need for individual societal activism that ensures as a collective we design and create a true world of love and peace.



The Verdict

We need to take action, no matter how small. Yet so many in the spiritual or new age community are dormant agents of change because they’ve been sold the lie that they need to “transcend their ego”. Yes, we do exist in a duality, and even though that duality is illusory, it’s still a layer of truth. In this respect, the selfis fundamentally faux; however the ‘self’ or ‘ego’ is still an indispensable aspect of the human experience. Without it, we’d simply cease to exist.

That’s why the goal is to expand, evolve and enlighten our finite nature (self-awareness or ego), as well as train it to understand its infinite nature (awareness or God). Simply, both are real, just one is more fundamental than the other. Therefore, to kill the ego is to kill our humanness; instead, we need to enlighten our ‘I-ness’ to understand its ‘all-ness’. Simply, whilst we’re human we have an ego, so the point is to empower it, not disempower it.

In most instances this confusing concept is referring to transcending vanity and the ‘illusion’ of separation, or something to that effect. Obviously that is a valid practice, yet the core definition of the ego is simply “I-ness”. In the spiritual community, this of course is understood as the human snapshot of consciousness which co-creates with many snapshots of consciousness in a reality made of unity consciousness. Now, that’s a mind-full.

We are all the same, yes, but we are all different too. Both layers of truth should be celebrated and respected. Plus, laughing and playing and exploring the depths of the human experience is a bloody awesome way to live and helps to heal and grow our energetic blueprint, or soul. We need to ensure that the core truth is recognised too, which is of course the fundamental priority.

The other disempowering and harmful teaching is to “observe and not judge”. To start with, just observing life with no judgement is inherently impossible because then we wouldn’t know when to eat or talk or what to even say. Yet even if it was possible, it’s passive, inactive and achieves nothing. The simple truth is we need to use the ego to do an assessment and form a conclusion on whether our environment should change or not, including our own behaviours. Anyone who says “observe, do not judge”, did an assessment and formed the conclusion “to not judge”. The inherent contradiction in this ‘belief’ is abundantly clear.

In addition, if we decide our house needs to be cleaned then we’ve made an observation, done an assessment, accessed our memory and formed the conclusion to clean the house. The same goes for the world too; clearly it needs to be transformed, especially our social systems. For example, where would we be without Gandhi, Buddha, King and many others not forming their judgements (observations, assessments and conclusions) on the world around them and then taking action to evolve that which they judged to need evolving? Backwards, that’s where.

Ultimately, we need society to come to agreed judgements on how our world needs to change to move into our next collective stage of evolution. Just observing won’t do that, neither will wasting our time and energy trying to transcend the very thing that enables intentional change in the first place; our I-ness.

Selacia ~ Super Full Moon Tips - Bridging Worlds -



by Selacia


Heading into our first of three Super Full Moons on August 29, it's helpful now to take stock of where things are in your life. Most likely our recent up-and-down energies have stimulated more than one relationship challenge and had you questioning your status quo. Perhaps you have initiated some bold new steps, too, taking advantage of positive potentials of this month's energy cycle.

Sometimes you may wonder how you can bridge the spiritual and physical realities - they can seem so different and at odds. The wise part of you knows, however, that your spiritual and physical lives can and do complement one another. They really go together!


Bridging Worlds - Dimensions

As a divine changemaker, you understand that you are wired to bridge the spiritual and physical, bringing the spiritual element into everyday life. It's part of your life anyway. What I'm talking about here is having it be a conscious and integrated aspect of how you live, how you think, and how you engage with the world.

It's common to feel that you must be one way with certain people or in specific situations and another way when separate from them. This is a linear concept that ignores your quantum and multidimensional nature. It also ignores that same nature in the other people you meet.

It's like saying to oneself, focused only on the body or physical outcomes: "I must make this happen or get this person to agree with me" - without factoring in the spiritual element that indeed is there. As a person is doing this, he or she may forget to tap inner wisdom or to envision involvement of another person's higher self. Those elements are in the mix and available, even if overlooked.

Throughout time, countless spiritual traditions have referenced the interaction of these dimensional elements. In today's society, there's much more common understanding of these dynamics. Human conditioning over hundreds of years, however, accentuates separation and disconnection from one's spiritual self.

Knowledge you have this spiritual self is one thing - living consciously as a multidimensional being is another. As part of your path now, you are waking up to what this means in practice. The idea is that you become an active participant of the bridging process, tangibly experiencing yourself in both realms. As you do so, you see yourself and other people in brand-new ways. You open your mind to possibilities not seen before! They were there, you simply didn't notice them.

Relationships Front and Center

With relationship issues front and center in recent days, you may be questioning some decisions you made and some things that were said. If so, consider the more quantum elements involved. Each person you interact with has a past, present and future - just like you do. Those timelines and the content within experiences quite often can seem like a mystery because of tunnel vision discounting the whole picture. A bridging of realities is needed - with wider understanding of what's really going on. What does this mean?

Understanding Bridging the Spiritual with Physical

First, it means a person involved in your inner circle or daily regimen may have past experiences that led to relationship dynamics unfolding now. The past and how this person responded to it will impact future outcomes - including what's going on with you now.

The person you recently had a disagreement with could be playing out an unresolved past pattern. That pattern may not have anything to do with you personally. However, know that if it is showing up in your life vis-à-vis this other person, it's no accident. It means that on some level your paths are crossing for you to see something, perhaps having nothing to do with this other person.

Higher selves of participants are involved with dynamics even if the people actively engaged are clueless of this other dimension. The more consciously aware you become of this multidimensional engagement and back story of things, the more adept you can be when relationships get rocky or simply do not make sense.

Second, it means your timeline and the other person's timeline may only intersect for a short while. This is an important thing to keep in mind. Often when a relationship gets weird or simply out of sync, there's a tendency to view the happenstance as a permanent fixture in your life. In these situations, you can become uncomfortable - not only with the change but about how you are to respond to the change.

Example: a person you have known for years may all of a sudden begin working at your place of employment. You may like it that they are there, ruminating about all kinds of potentials that may or may not be productive. You may dislike it, too, feeling uncomfortable about this person's presence. Keep things in perspective.

The person showing up at your workplace is not a conspiracy or a definitive positive development you must act on. Don't make this black and white. Don't make it about you either. There are two people involved here.

This dynamic of the person you know in other environments showing up at work represents a new part of this person's timeline intersecting with yours. Unless you factor spirit in the mix and the big quantum picture, this person being at your work place could unnecessarily distract you and get you off course. This is a block to your progress and can be an impediment to timelines of both people.

Example: a person unexpectedly intersecting with your timeline has their own path and higher purposes for being there. If you can recognize the connection as such and realize that there must be a reason you are engaged, you can connect with divine timing and orchestration. This helps you and it helps the other person.
Both of you, doing the dance together, grow in some way and then move into where you are to be headed next. Fighting the dance, resisting the connection, or pretending there is no overall purpose, is futile and an obstacle.

This dance is quite subtle, but it's happening all the time! At this Super Full Moon weekend, invite an awareness of how this might apply in your own life. Ask to see the subtle workings of spirit in your physical reality. Ask to know how your timelines and happenstance miraculously intertwine with those of others. Ask for a growing appreciation of the mystical elements at play in your life.
