Impeachment

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 21:11:48 -0700

I have been a part of Shift in Action since the summer of 2007, and I had the opportunity to attend the conference in Palm Springs. I have enjoyed my contacts at whatever level. In 2008, as we all agree to focus on The Shift, I have often struggled with the role of interaction with the political system. I believe that I share with many a sense that our system is broken. It is easy to find a significant part of the fault with figures like the president and vice-president, who have in so many blatant ways subverted the rule of law. An obvious way to begin to deal with this situation is to put into play the constitutional provisions for impeachment. Despite the obviousness of the situation, this course of action is making almost no progress. Searching through Shift in Action, it is also absent here, as if it is of no significance in the transformation that we are all struggling to find our way through.

Refer to Introduction, and W&C 1, 2, and 3.

Most of us do not have the technical resources to replicate any of Dr. Emoto's simple experiments exploring the relationship between water and human consciousness. This posting outlines a simple experiment that anyone can do effectively.

Water and Consciousness 2 - Seeing the Silver Lining in Hurricane Lili

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 14:04:44 -0800

This posting is an account of some of the events surrounding the arrival of Hurricane Lili on the coast of Southwestern Louisiana in October, 2002.

For those 'with eyes to see', we can look back on the passing of Hurricane Lili on October 3, 2002, as a great blessing, in addition to being a physical catastrophe.

Water and Consciousness 1 - An Umbrella over the World Series

Tue, 20 Nov 2007 06:11:50 -0800

Several days ago, I posted an entry entitled Transforming the Atlantic Hurricane Season - Introduction that suggests the possibility that our prayers and intentions can bring about a significant transformation of the weather coming from the Atlantic Ocean during the 'hurricane season'. I am following this with a series of postings that focus on several components of this process:

1> A set of examples, from my own experience as well as reports of others, about the ways in which human consciousness has affected water.

2> Some considerations of the underlying methods and processes, drawing on ancient perspectives as well as emerging ones familiar to us IONS members.

3> A plan to accomplish the goal of this specific transformation, consistent with the larger vision and collective wisdom about the planetary transformation that we are undergoing. Many elements of this plan are not clear at this point. You can help clarify them.

This first posting describes events in Abbeville, La., in 1974, with a focus on the Babe Ruth World Series.

Transforming the Atlantic Hurricane Season - Introduction

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 12:13:34 -0800

SUMMARY: Living on the Louisiana coast for over 3 decades, I have learned valuable lessons on how our thoughts, prayers and intentions can affect water and the weather. Being impacted by Hurricanes Lili, Katrina and Rita in the past 5 years has steepened my learning curve, connected me to a rich set of new friends and new ideas, including many assocoated with IONS, and given me the bold idea that our intentions can significantly alter the Atlantic hurricane season.

We are smart enough to know that the best efforts of those of us currently working together will still be insufficient to master such a daunting task. Before we proceed much further, then, we would like to engage the efforts of other interested parties who might be able to assist or work together with us in some way. To this end, I am submitting below the first of a number of blog entries that will outline things we have learned and questions we have. We would appreciate your careful consideration.

I moved to Louisiana in 1972, to a small town, Abbeville (pop. 15,000), that is located about 20 miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico. With the exception of a 2-1/2 year stay in South India, I have been here ever since, so I have been able to sink deeper roots here than I have anywhere else I have lived.
