Dreaming a Prayer for an Enlightened Future August 20. 2010 - I've been getting a lot of emails to join prayer groups for the healing of the oceans, the forests, the earth; and just when it seems to me that people are starting to actually wake up, I get other emails that say 'the gods are angry', 'the earth is angry', 'these catastrophes are happening in areas where people have been evil for too long and god is teaching a lesson'. They reek of judgment, fear, and projection. It seems that whenever we get afraid for our futures we project our worry and fear to all who will listen. The internet can be a powerful tool in spreading whatever word you want to spread. If we want to help our earth and ourselves people, it's time to get real! The mind-boggling catastrophes we are witnessing today are caused by human error, negligent practices, unbridled greed and lack of foresight. The earth changes are part of the earth's journey through the stars. There is no mystery. The earth is not angry (though I wouldn't blame her if she were) and the gods? Well... no comment!Assigning Responsibility -- Becoming Accountable No people, fact is we live in a co-creative world. As the thinking, reasoning and decision making species on this planet we are failing miserably at making good choices and taking care of our home planet. We behave as unruly children in a candy shop, pushing blame around in a "wasn't me!" and “I dunno” unaccountability mentality. Like spoiled children we expect to just keep taking everything freely and greedily and that magically the candy bins will all be re-filled to bountiful levels again without any thought as to how that might happen. In the current Gulf crisis we are happy to angrily blame the big oil companies for their negligence, but as shocked and horrified people are by this disaster today, in time the emotions will fade. The oil industry has been creating problems that negatively affect our world right under our noses, for a very long time; with our blessing, and financial support I might add. Part of my consternation is that these things have been happening for decades and while we are momentarily outraged we will eventually just shift our focus again to more pleasant things. We have been steadily plundering our natural resources at the cost of extinguishing endless species of life at all levels of existence including human beings. This affects each of us on a daily basis no matter where in the world it is happening. Your ecological system is under attack and your mind is being seduced and manipulated into thinking it will all be ok.

| Anger Won’t Cut It To change the future we have to try toshift our focus and try to look at things a little differently. We’ve been asleep, not because we haven’t been serious about the escalating level of crisis in our world, but with regards to the ways we have been dealing with all these issues. We blame, we hate, we rage, we sign petitions, we engage in war. We’re expressing powerful emotions of anger that aren’t doing anything except perpetuating even more powerful expressions of anger, fear and rage and sadly killing millions of species of life on our planet every minute in the process. The global fear and outrage is part of the nightmare we currently find ourselves in. Remember like begets like. So wake up!! The nightmare can still end, it must or we will all be trapped in it. It’s imperative that we learn to focus all our collective energy towards the dream we have for ourselves and our children. It is important to address these issues of careless, reckless abuse now. The clock is ticking and we are quickly approaching the end of a massive time cycle. This is a natural course of events, nothing unusual at all. We have already gone through 4 of these 5,125 year cycles, we are currently ending the 5th and heading into the 6th. It is part of what is known as the "precession of the equinoxes". It is the journey Earth travels through the heavens as marked by the placement of the constellations of the zodiac. We are leaving the Piscean Age and beginning the Aquarian Age. Historically speaking, each age is marked by a key development that had significant influence over that time. The Piscean age was marked by the event of Christianity and has 2 fish facing opposite directions as it's symbol. It's been an age of dualism, opposites, ownership and conquering. The Aquarian age however, is an age of oneness, unity and holism. And this clearly presents the task ahead of us now.
