I pulled together some thoughts concerning the Occupy Movement.
Thnak you for your kind consideration .
Sisters and Brothers of the Occupy Movement:
Please consider: 1) Adopt human well-being as an overarching theme and standard against which to measure the appropriateness of actions, ideas and feelings. Are we living well? Are we providing , at least, clean air, clean water, nutritious food, restful sleep, shelter, utilities and clothing simultaneousliy for each and every human being the way Eaerth Gaia does? 2) Transition from occupying to claiming. One occupies someone else's territory; one claims one's own property. We claim our planet, thusly, empowering ourselves to care for her and be responsible stewards of her resources; 3) Redouble sophistication in order to address related issues such as the food supply. The FDA has decided to begin implementation if its New Dietary Ingredients program which has the effect of removing many items from health food stores. Let's not be blind-sided by the food issue and then blame the Movement for distracting our attention and causing us to lose freedom and justice in two arenas; 4) Form a musical ensemble. Most successful movements have music associated with them. Bonuses are income and networking. 5) Engage a secular brand of spirituality as a stabilizer, strengthener, energizer and moral compass. We say we have bodies, minds and emotions; the parts of us that have these things are our spirits. Spirituality centers, uplifts, and addresses questions about who we are, our purpose and what it takes for us, individually and collectively, to be vibrantly alive; and 6) Expand communications, especially with people who are not yet interested in or convinced of the appropriateness of the Movement or who do not have consistent access to telephones and the internet. Conduct workshops and leaflet in traditional neighborhoods. Develop a 24-hour hotline, a telemarketing campaign and a door-to-door, interactive, informational campaign. Thanks!

The unification of thought may also be called the remembering of thought. This is because the process whereby one thought leads to another relies upon what happens with the thoughts which have come before it. Everything that we can do to keep in mind the core of thought is to be promoted within consciousness.The unification of thought may also be called the remembering of thought. This is... more

In Kabbalah we look for combinations that will illuminate the unity above giving us a context to study under and an inspiration to follow through with. We have been speaking about the Sepher Yetzirah and the mediating influence of the breath. The breath is the permeable membrane through which passes that from above to below and then below to above.In Kabbalah we look for combinations that will illuminate the unity above giving us a... more

Determining the voice that speaks within becomes an exercise in deep meditation. What Kabbalah teaches us may be compared to an audio engineer who is trying to make the best possible mix out of a collection of sound tracks that must all be blended into one.

The continuous nature of creation is discussed in the Zohar during this week's Torah portion, Chayei Sara. It speaks about the relationship between the higher Eden and the lower Eden, the upper chamber and the lower chamber.

Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, stretches beyond India, a five-day holiday encompassing multiple stories from around the world, involving Hindus, some Buddhists, Sikhs and Jains. For India, however, where roughly 80 percent of the population practices Hinduism, Diwali 2011 is and will be a massive and deeply Hindu affair, one involving dancing, shows, religious worship and lots of fireworks.
Diwali, or Divali, means "row of lights," and is a celebration of the Hindu New Year according to the lunisolar calendar. Typically, Diwali also falls near the end of harvest season, from mid-October to mid-November, meaning the goddess Lakshmi, who brings wealth and prosperity, is honored by the holiday with candle offerings and bright, festive decorations.
It is also, however, a more general celebration of good over evil, especially that of Rama's victory over the 10-headed demon Ravana in the Hindu epic "The Ramayana." Rama, an incarnation of the Hindu god Vishnu, returns home during Diwali (Oct. 26, in 2011) after fourteen years of banishment, and Hindus lay out lamps, set off fireworks, and hang paper lanterns to help light his way home.
All these traditions combine to make Diwali a true "festival of lights," from those dedicated to Lakshmi and celebrating Rama to Hindus honoring Ganesh, the God of good beginnings, on this gorgeous holiday. While the story behind Diwali and how people celebrate may vary from region to region, the holiday's essence remains the same: rejoicing at the victory of goodness, light, and atman (the soul) over falseness, darkness, and reality.Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, stretches beyond India, a five-day holiday... more

Jersey Shore Cast S.T.D. Rumors with Dr. Phillis

In discussing the relationship between intention and expectation we discovered previously that this relationship is analogous to the way the Sephiros are perceived within the four worlds stepping down their influences each according to their particular realm of being. Now the Sephiros occur simultaneously in all four worlds interpenetrating one another sharing their various aspects depending upon the level of attention that is brought to bear in each case.In discussing the relationship between intention and expectation we discovered... more

The place of manifest being is where you open yourself to all that is coming to be. This is an opening that is a vision combined with your expectation. You see what is taking place in front of you while being confident that what you are seeing is building itself from within into the purpose that will be revealed without,

I recently had a conversation with a friend who happens to be an Atheist. I did not want to be so aggressive as to push my viewpoints onto him spiritually or culturally. As I listened to him speak I began to feel a great void of loss he must be experiencing. To deny God is deny all his many blessings, the spiritual knowledge that is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, most of all how could he know where he is going spiritually if he doesn’t know where he came from.
My Spirit began to move my mind in the direction of Light and I had the most splendid idea. Explain it to him, as an energy! There is only one thing in life that everything contains: energy. It is the God Force. This Source Energy makes everything appear, move, and exist. You cannot use the body’s senses to verify Source Energy, yet we know it’s there. It’s a very powerful tool when utilized. As a matter of fact any accomplishment, creation, idea, or thought all needs an energy to manifest.
If man’s will is to create or manifest anything, it is still a reflection of God or the Source Energy. The origin of energy used today, is the same energy derived from the source of the universe since before creation. God is the source of ALL. Our thoughts, ideas, actions, creations, possessions, children, pets, country, planet, world, universe, all there is, is a reflection of Gods source energy. It is manifesting and vibrating on different scales, dimensions, and planes through us and all within and around us.
Everything is energy; including you and me in all its many and multiple external forms shares the same internal energy. From your car, to you’re clothing to the plants and trees outside. Forms of matter can be energy as well as organic materials. There is no such thing as energy of man and energy of things. It is all energy. In the studies of the ancients they explain this energy in the forms of many examples operating on different planes simultaneously.

Thoughts are the building blocks of creation. These thoughts then have the power of your attention since by definition this is what is bringing forth these thoughts. If by logical resolution the world is brought into being then there has to be a starting and ending point and a place in between for reflection.
