“WALKING THE SPIRITUAL PATH" - By Mandel Rheems.
Are you seeking to become aware of why you are living? What is the purpose for your life? And what are you moving towards? Do you seek to understand why there is so much suffering in the world? So much poverty, fear & strife?
Is death the end? Do you suffer anxiety & fear for your future survival, in aloneness, neglect – or ill health?
So many questions! You may say: ‘we only have one life & that is about survival at the cost of others!’ But let us ponder upon these questions, & consider the positive aspect & realisation that life does have a greater purpose, - & this relates to the nature of unconditional love & inner growth.
There is hope to resolve these difficulties - & the answer lies within the heart; that life is infinite in its potential to find joy, peace & harmony, & a deeper personal fulfilment!
The true spiritual life is not about religion or dogma, fear or condemnation. Spirituality is about treating all those we meet in a loving, sacred & respectful manner - & be willing to share unconditional love with others in honesty truth & good will.
Trust in the universe & its benevolent nature, & allow forgiveness of the heart to blossom, as you let go of any anger for the rejection, fear & pain others have brought to you; & remember, nature & time are the greatest of healers! Love, even more so!

Blessings, Mandel

FROM THE PEN OF JOHN COUSIN: - (Nov/March 2009.)

“The Great Mother, sitting before Her loom, spins the Wheel of Time and weaves the patterns of All That Is. We are included in Her weavings!
I don’t speak much about my past but it was dysfunctional at the best of times. Surely I am damaged goods. But I truly believe me and my life isn’t defined by what it was. This is why I, like you, strive to become better, to heal, and to overcome. We are much different people than we were 10 or 20 years ago; & this, too, is woven in the patterns of Her weave. Forward ever, backwards NEVER!
I do know that Capitalism without practical checks & balances can easily be worse than Communism! Anything that places itself before life is evil, wicked & unacceptable!!! Whether it is money, property, art, or even knowledge, NOTHING should be given a greater value than life (quality life).
I really like Carol’s poem “Spiritual Love”. The world would be a much better place if we could get everyone to understand this... “To offer YOUR light, as a gift to all others,” ... An acquaintance has copied it & sent it to his daughter. He, like me, loves it; & his daughter is learning to love life & rebel against anti-life systems & sentiments. We are hoping to guide her into a deeper compassion & larger world view. Her battle right now is, sadly, normal for Americans; money over all else. Though you wrote it in 2004, the message is eternal & applicable right now. Thank you.
Mandel you wrote for me a poem called: “She just Whispers”. (Excerpt given:) “We of the Light ever enfold you in our wings of glorious hue; of that coming of our ancient setting solar radiance & wisdom, which to you unfolds!”
Your poems seem to take on deeper meanings the more I read. And this particular piece is quickly becoming something like a MANTRA to me. I find that it helps me manage stressful situations better, i.e. it has ingrained itself in my mind & WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT I FEEL A WARM PEACE ENVELOP ME!
I pray this note finds you shining as bright as ever. Be you well & keep up the glorious works you do. You are ever in my & my mother’s prayers & positive energy works. YES, LOVE BLOSSOMS – NO MATTER WHAT!! Blessings be ever yours!!! John.”

"EQUALITY comes in realizing that we are all doing

different jobs for a common purpose.
That is the aim behind any community.
The very name community means:

Let's come together to recognize the unity. Come ... unity."
“EQUALITY” is quoted from John’s web site: http://humenity.org/

Two spiritual poems - by kind permission of Juliana Glanfield - (Selected from the 1st section of her ‘Slim Volumes’ of poetry: “Moon, Stars and Gypsy Tales” -Copyright 2005).

“DAY TRIP”
Lost in a sea of ebb and flow
How will the tide turn?
Does the moon know its power now
To begin, a new world.

* * * * * * *
“AMETHYST STAR”
Oh Mother Moon
Belly full of life to come
Your silver flames ignite my energies
Moving forward.
Crystals on a tray
Charged with your requests
Guide us to the summit of our life
In beauty, in trust
In love.

“I AM.” By Sarah-Jane Grace
I am the white moon,
With clouds wisping by.
I am the bright sun,
Glowing hot in the sky.
I am the green grass,
Swaying gently in the breeze.
I am the blue dolphin,
Riding high in crested seas.
I am the great mountains,
Laying majestic & strong.
I am the red-breasted robin,
Filling the air with sweet song.
I am everything,
And everything is me.
I just close my eyes in silence,
And I am set free.

The Solar Faery

Look at me and feel my radiance
The sun it glows and shines
The sun of power, will and self-reliance
All that greatness is just fine
Why fear your power?
Why shy away from your will?
Be here, be now, every hour
Shine your energy, don’t let it spill
Step into your power now
And use discernment and wisdom
May you choose to make the vow
To use your will for the greatest good of the Earthly kingdom

I have suffered from CFS and IBS for many years. After finding ways to “cope” I told myself to get on with things. I completely forgot to listen to my body and just went on automatic pilot whilst my head chattered and worried away about things that went wrong in my life.
A relapse of CFS like I never had before made me stop in my tracks. I could not go onwards and had to start reviewing my life and returning to listening to my Body. My Reverse Therapist Nicky helped me with that and whilst on my journey of healing my creativity was re-awakened, leading to a series of Faeries. The chakra faeries will be featured in the newsletter. I hope they will inspire people on their own healing journey. - Cathelijne
If you would like to contact Cathelijne, who lives in the Netherlands, please send your details and message to Carol and Mandel and we will see she gets it. If you have an email address please let her know and she will send you details of her web site, etc.

The Openhearted Faery

Feel the radiance of Emerald Healing
Feel the love flow from me
Open up to that warming feeling
That sets yourself free
Let go of fear, let go of hate,
Those stagnant energies in your heart
To heal your heart, it is never too late
Every minute is a good start.
So why not open your precious heart
This moment in time and space?
Forgive, let go of the hurt that made it hard
And allow for healing grace.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *
“WATER” - As at the source of a mountain stream it bubbles gently at first, and gradually gets stronger, deeper & faster & wider on its journey to the sea; – so the spiritual pathway, once it is embarked upon in earnest, with joy and commitment, it becomes an unstoppable river of Light, Love & Blessing to all who behold it, drink of it & partake in its purity of heart!

"A MAGIC PLACE"
All around us is the beauty of nature everywhere
But when do we really take time to stop & stare?
Just open your eyes and see the wonder of it all
If you love nature then you will see it's so beautiful.
Enjoy the amazing wonders and beauties which are there
We are surrounded by beauty and it's for all to share!
Take time to stop, look and listen, enjoy everything, what a sight
Sunrise every morning, sunset in the evening, moon and stars at night.
What a magic place - it is our planet, it takes your breath away
Look at what nature has to offer - and it's there to see every day.
Surround yourself with nature - this marvellous, wonderful gift
Birds, butterflies, flowers, trees, the grass - an endless list!
How simple and yet how truly beautiful it is to see
Nature gives us everlasting joy and peace - AND IT'S ALL FREE!

Two poems By Lindy Roberts - (Lindy lives in Suffolk and won a competition in Aug 09 for a poem called: "To be Famous" – it was published by Forward Press).

“BECAUSE OF YOU”
I’ve finally found out what I’ve been dreaming of
Someone who can love me like no other – you God,
I’m going to live my whole life through
Now and for always, forever loving you,
Got to be near you every night and day
I could not be happy any other way,
You are the only one I am living for
Giving me what I need and so much more,
No matter where the others go, or what they do
You are the one I want to keep close to.
Because of you my whole life has changed
Now everyday God I speak your name,
Want to tell you how much I love you so
And never give you up or let you go,
Now I have found you my life is pure bliss
And every moment spent with you I cherish,
You are everything that I would like to be
One day I will, back to the way you made me,
Your love for me is just so unbelievable
A love that is unconditional it says it all.....
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
“THE POWER OF PRAYER” By Michael A. Neale
The day was long, the burden I had borne seemed heavier than I could no longer bear, and then it lifted – but I did not know someone had knelt in prayer; had taken me to God that very hour and asked the easing of the load, and He, in infinite compassion, had stooped down and taken it from me.
We cannot tell how often as we pray for some bewildered one, hurt and distressed, the answer comes, but many times those hearts find sudden peace and rest.
Someone had prayed, and faith, a reaching hand, took hold of God, and brought Him down that day!
So many, many hearts have need of prayer; - Oh, let us pray!

Channelled article by Mandel Called: “The Path of Selfless Service”
What does it mean to serve selflessly? Well, in knowing that in our personal lives the activities of volunteering to help those in need – such as a chosen charity – organisation, individuals or group that are working for the alleviation of suffering, we will find, so often it offers us a chance to put our own problems into perspective – and grow to a more compassionate understanding of our own particular ‘greater purpose & mission’ in life, as world & universal citizens!
Giving a few hours a day or few days a week, i.e. giving time, effort or financial support – or time for prayer, healing thoughts & spreading the light & peace, so often is a great opportunity for personal growth for our hearts, minds & lives.
Helping others, so often awakens us to an engaged spirituality, & so often allows us the opportunity to enter into a more compassionate & loving, forgiving, altruistic lifestyle & path! As, so often we hear that: ”No one is an island unto themselves” – in giving time, labour, energy & commitment to help others, eventually can only lead to truly being fulfilled & finding one’s way to one’s greater purpose.
Compassion is a genuine way to help to release love, forgiveness & good will into a troubled & darkened world.
Love is found & experienced in a greater unity of purpose; where hatred, fear, unforgiveness, violence & selfishness can only lead to more darkness, fear & degradation of spirit – where more conflict, misunderstanding - & lack of trust is born!
To serve selflessly means that life becomes an avenue or vessel for individuals to awaken to Divine Love, harmony, good will, & forgiveness.
True transcendence is about engagement in life – not to escape our common humanity, but to become vehicles to alleviate poverty, abuse & inequalities in our immediate environment, & in the greater community planetary wide!
All life is one; & all life in this world & in the universe is inter-connected, offering one’s self as a channelling for selfless service, eventually allows us to experience the freedom to AWAKEN TO OUR TRUE SACRED DESTINY; - TO BE TRULY HUMAN – YET DIVINE!
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
AWAKENING
Well, spring is nearly upon us, & we sincerely hope that more & more individuals will begin to awaken to their own life’s greater purpose & mission! Unfortunately, this opening of the heart & mind, so often only happens through experiencing suffering & a deeper loss – but for some it happens through a need to experience, or on some occasions in finding or opening to, a recognition & reconnection with a spiritual awakening or faith. In fact there are infinite numbers of ways our consciousness can be expanded & our spirit within stimulated & awakened!
WELCOMING IDEAS
If you have any positive ideas or inspirational thoughts for us to ponder upon, relating to how we can grow & develop as a Community & Spiritual Family, - then we would like to hear from you. There is an ancient saying: ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step’. We hope this Vision & Community is also your own!
ABSENT HEALING OFFERED
If there are any individuals who would like to receive absent healing, for your self, your friends & family, then please let us know any names & conditions where appropriate, so we can hold them & their situations in the healing light each day with the planetary conditions also, at our Mission Sanctuary.

IF YOU WISH TO ADD YOUR HEALING PRAYERS & MEDITATIONS WITH OURS FOR THIS WORK - YOU CAN PARTICULARLY LINK IN SPIRITUALLY AT 9 AM & / OR 10 PM DAILY.

EXPECT A MIRACLE!

"Bits and Pieces of Conversation in an Uptown Train
In a soft excited voice they carry on their conversations
As if your ears tuned to various radio stations
Asian, European, African and Latin
Wasp, Muslims Gentile’s and Jew
Omitting I am only a few.
Angry, agitated full of grudge
And you hear them all at once, what’s the buzz?
The Chinese ladies speak their own dialect in a rapid tone
Two elderly men, by the door, their grievances outpour
Stone faced sits the Kansas native
Avoiding eye contact with the African man.
While at a distance not too far
Four young friends they laugh and joke
Indifferent of the crowd, indifferent of their colors
Alas if we could only heed, to the message behind their laughter’s
And these diverse groups of people
Thrown together by greed’s forceful hand
For better under standing, a dialogue demands.
And they all get off on their respective stops
Unfinished phrases left behind, for someone else to carry on
And this human circus goes on and on…. A never ending story
Uncomfortable truth and a human tragedy."
From the book: - “Dialogues With My Self” By Saikat Mondal, - page 13.

Authors note: Hello reading folks, just wish to say a few words about this particular poem. The poem was written way back in 1998 or 1999 in New York City based on the experience of a ride I had in a NY subway. Surprisingly the poem rings true even more so now for London city metropolis, or for that matter any major cosmopolitan city where many people of diverse backgrounds are thrown next to each other mostly based on economic needs - or they simply wish for a better life as they leave their homeland behind. I am quite convinced that human beings basically tolerate each other for economic necessity and hence our relationship with each other so artificial strained and painstaking. We must urgently seek a better philosophy of living next to each other than stock market stock quotes and the likes. Excessive economic competition is most definitely going to put a damper on human relationships; alas we have forgotten what it actually means to be Human.

Mandel writes: HELP IS SOUGHT FOR SAIKAT MONDAL who has known us for a few years now, from when we lived in London, & he has been a continuous & great support for us & the Mission. He is interested, in the main, to meet with those who could assist him to legally become resident in the U.K. & maybe, hopefully, meet that very special partner & future wife to share his life with & creative aspirations. He is basically an author who happens to be a poet and philosopher. In the past he has published one volume of excellent & perceptive poetry: "Dialogues With My Self" in America.
If you are able to assist him, - or know of any contacts who could help, or offer guidance & support for him as he urgently wishes to stay in the U.K. then please get in touch.
At the present time Saikat is working & studying in London, - but only has a temporary visa to stay in U.K. but it will soon run out & he is genuinely seeking more creative employment in the long-term!
Saikat comes from a well to do family in India, but feels that if he could possibly receive support of any kind to obtain permanent residency in the U.K. In the long-term his aim & wishes are to do his writings & creative work full time with practical support or assistance. Saikat has so much positive potential in the cultural artistic & creative spheres; he also has past experience in work as an actor, & some filming mainly in U.S.A. and UK. However he recognises himself as a “World Citizen” - & is greatly aware of the need in society for others to develop a social consciousness.
In his art work he is sensitively aware that he has a mission to express his vision for a more compassionate, loving joyful world, where selfishness, ignorance & fear will be eradicated!
He will be grateful if you are able to assist him in any way, or wish to find out more about his poetry & writings.

“MY LORD”
My Lord knows - but does not judge
My lord seeks - but does not fear
My Lord loves - but unconditionally exists
My Lord beckons & calls - but truly sets all free
My Lord is of Light everlasting - but knows the darkest nature
My Lord desires - but not of the self
My Lord welcomes that we are made free
My Lord was the first – but he shall be last
Thy Lord is alike to you and me!
(For My Lord,) – By Mandel

PRAYER FOR PEACE IN THE UNITED NATIONS CHAPEL, NEW YORK.
“Beyond a Minute for Peace, is a minute in which we become one with the Father of all mankind. In that state of eternity all things flow under Divine government. The vision of a minute for peace is not a static minute, but is that state of mind through which the wondrous, creative, infinite powers of the universe spill forth in the highest productivity. It is a moment when one by one across the world we can really come back to God and discover this channel of communication, this oneness through which God’s love is released into the entire world community.
Therefore, it is much more than just being still, just being quiet even for the sake of peace. It is being still in the midst of God, out of which the peace, the harmony, the creative surge, the infinite majesty, the perfect everything flow into our experience.
In this sacred moment, this minute for peace, be still and know one truth, that the Kingdom of God is the Kingdom of Love. That in the Kingdom of Love we commune with and release love, unto every person on earth. In this love is founded the brotherhood of man and the eternal purpose of God.
Thank You Father, for the privilege and miracle of being alive, and for the joy of having brotherhood with all people of every race, every colour, every creed and every religion. This is established in Thee, and everyone everywhere, and Thank You, Father, that it is so.”

By: Bro. Mandus

CHOOSE PEACE NOW!
“We tend to think that the rest of the world is screwed up, and “Why can’t you guys be like us?” The truth, however, is that we are not as peaceful a people as we may believe. But as we choose peace within ourselves – by exercising a bit each day just as much as helping out around the neighbourhood and so forth, the world around us will change.
There is another Spiritual Principle that states, “We cannot give what we do not have.” So once again, as we find that inner peace, we can then spread that outwardly to the world by our example. There is no other way to effect World Peace.
The timing of this message is no accident. We are in a most critical state in the world scene right now. If left to its inertia, there could be a Great War like we’ve never seen before – and worse. If brought back into balance now, we could see a time of Peace like never seen before on this planet. All we need do is find that inner peace now.
We are warned to listen to that inner voice before making any travel plans and to heed what the body is commanding us to do or not do. Find some time for a quiet walk by yourself. Find some time for stillness. Listen and pay attention to silence. Refrain from saying all that much because that is when we tend to put our foot in our mouth. Choose Peace Now.

In Love, Light, and Will.” Blaine S. Collins.

Embracing Change with Love

Embracing Change with Love
Saturday, 21 March, 2009 12:19 AM
From: "Harold W. Becker"
To: "'John Goltz'"

Dear Friends,

We are such amazing beings of infinite capacity and potential. Our boundless imagination, coupled with our wondrous will, allows us to bring our ideas into outer reality. Through our thoughts and feelings, we can literally create and experience that which we dream of in our heart of hearts. With patience and trust we manifest whatever we truly seek to experience on this grand adventure.

Whether we realize it or not, we create this way every moment. Yet, so often we become mired in habit and routine and stop being present with our imagination and the wisdom of our heart. Instead, we allow outmoded and outdated beliefs to take over rather than being aware of our creative choice. The unquestioned stream of mental thoughts, subtle notions of our emotional disposition, and very often, the outer suggestions of others, begin to dictate our identity, our actions and reactions.

That is, until something comes along to awaken us. This is frequently in the form of an accident, illness, unexpected event or circumstances that instantly disrupts our routine. If we are deeply rooted in habit, mentally or emotionally focused in the past or future, or simply unaware of our own creative spirit, this experience is usually met with great resistance and defiance by our outer personality or ego. The defenses, justification, victimhood and righteousness are often our immediate reaction to the fear and doubt that comes instantly to the surface. We become afraid of the change that has already happened.

How would our lives be different if we chose to be present in each moment knowing that change is constant and the very nature of life itself? What would happen if we actually embraced change as a wonderful opportunity to restore our creative capacity and begin anew with love?

Life is fluid, expansive and recreating itself every moment; we need only pay attention to the natural world to realize this. From the cycle of the seasons to the ever flowing rivers, the ceaseless life giving energy of the sun, the acorn becoming the mighty oak, or the rhythmic pulse of our own heartbeat, nature understands and embraces change. No two moments are exactly the same and love is forever present.

Always remember who you are – a beautiful and outrageously creative being capable of manifesting a world filled with peace, joy and unconditional love. Now is the perfect moment to imagine a new potential and choose it for yourself and the world around you.

Love, light and peace,

“A POEM DEDICATED TO PEACE”

2009-05-01T00:56:00.004+01:00

-- By Saikat Mondal --
(From his book: “Dialogues With My Self” - with kind permission.)
* * * * * * * * *
Peace, thou God’s beloved Angel
When on Earth, will you forever reign?
Behind every newborn’s smile
You put all hope of lasting Peace;
And again all your hopes are dashed
As they grow up, only to run after cash.

When will this hypocrisy end?
Only then, can Peace on Earth descend.
Peace & prosperity goes hand in hand
Never do they both in one place stand
Like bees roaming from flower to flower
Peace & prosperity roams, distributing harmony & power.

Searching for Peace all over the world
But it dwells in our hearts, innermost shrine;
Clear the dust and let it shine.
We substitute wars to justify peace
But how many bloody wars ever peace restore
Enough. Enough bloodshed, Please no more.

A day will soon to mankind dawn
The day when all forms of hostility is gone
No bitterness, no fights
No nationality and religions too.
In unison, we all will sing from our heart
Peace, Peace, Peace is here to stay at last.

I know it’s a dream
That may never come true
But we must dream on
What else is there to do.
O Lord, Let Peace be still
Let it not be a flickering flame in gusty wind.

A Spring Note From Miss Mellie Rainbow

2009-05-01T00:40:00.003+01:00

GLOBAL LOVE DAY (2008)

My Beloveds,
Angels sang to me this morning and awakened me from a lovely slumber.
Today I pray for each beautiful sentient being throughout the Universe.
I visualize us enveloped in a world of peace, with equanimity, and joy.

Still, my heart cries at our need for violence, at our rationale for killing, at our thoughts of the inevitability of war, and economic collapse. Painfully I address the lack of opportunity, literacy and safety for those in the United States, and extend my thoughts globally.
There is no reason or need for poverty of mind, body or spirit
---other than the desire for a few to have MORE.

More money, more land, more stocks, more fun in the Alps ---MORE.

Though I am grateful for each of my blessings,
Today I too am asking for MORE.

My more is in direct relation to a desire for equity for all people,
the sustainability of our Earth, and the healing of all disease.

My more is hope, joy, compassion, and understanding.
My more is a world filled with conscious intention and love.
My more is a request to ask that we honor our seniors, share them with our precious children and provide them with the best of ourselves.

MORE. My more is a dream of humility, respect and diplomacy as we learn to interact with each other heart to heart.

MORE. My more is for us to vision and create a world of cooperation where we allow others the dignity of returning to their homelands instead of creating political obstacles to peace.

Yes today my heart sings a melody of more---more understanding, more compassion, more willingness to share the fruits of our labor.
I believe our potential of greatness. I believe in a society that says right NOW---let’s redefine our commitment to each other.

Please, let us remember the voice of the Great Spirit.
Let us ask more of ourselves as we meet each other in Grace,
and walk side by side, heart to heart.

Let us have more listening, more kindness, more truth, more hope and more faith as we embrace the Divine in each of us.
This Is My Request of MORE!

CHANGE HAS COME TO AMERICA

'Change has come to America'
Wednesday, November 5 07:28 am

• Barack Obama has become the first black US president
after a landslide election victory.
Obama wins historic US election
RELATED CONTENT
• Obama considers top job for Clinton
• Fierce speculation Obama will choose Clinton as top diplomat

Related Hot Topic: John McCain
The 47-year-old Democrat led his Republican rival John McCain by 297 votes to 139 as he passed the magic number of 270 needed to win the presidency at 4am GMT. Later projections showed he won by 349 votes to 158.

Mr Obama promised change and a new dawn of leadership.
Speaking after sweeping a series of key battleground states in a landslide electoral college victory, he pledged to be a president of all Americans and vowed to overcome challenges which were "the greatest of our lifetime", including two wars, a global economic crisis and a planet in peril.
"I promise you, we as a people will get there," he said.
Cheered on by tens of thousands of supporters in Chicago's Grant Park, Mr Obama took to a stage lined with US flags with his his wife Michelle and young daughters Malia, ten, and Sasha, seven, at his side.
Mr Obama told those whose support he had not won: "I hear your voices, I need your help and I will be your president too."
He said he would listen to his opponents, adopt a multilateral approach to world affairs and told those watching outside the US that "our stories are singular but our destiny is shared".
"The new dawn of America leadership is at hand," he said.
"To those who would tear the world down, we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security, we support you.
"And to all those who have wondered if American's beacon still burns as bright, tonight we've proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
"That's the true genius of America. The road ahead will be long, our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year, or even in one term, but America I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
"I promise you, we, as a people, will get there."
Many in the crowd were crying and even political pundits on major US TV networks wiped tears from their eyes as the man who could transform race relations in America ascended to the highest office in the land.
Conceding defeat in his home state of Arizona, Mr McCain said: "The American people have spoken and they have spoken clearly. This is an historic election."
Mr McCain joined outgoing president George W Bush in calling Mr Obama to congratulate him personally.
Mr Obama, a first-term senator from Illinois, will be sworn in as the 44th US president on January 20, 2009.
The win by Mr Obama, the son of a black father from Kenya and white mother from Kansas, comes 45 years after the high point of the equality movement led by Martin Luther King Jr.
The assassinated civil rights leader's daughter Bernice King said: "I was very excited tonight and moved to tears."

HOW TO DESTROY A PEOPLE

Dear Mandel & Carol,
Good morning to you on this Sunday.

A friend has written very recently a poem
about the horror and carnage
ie going on in Palestine esp the killing
 of innocent children.
If you like the poem please feel free
 to put the poem on the blog. 
I hope you are both doing well. Hoping to hear from you soon.  Saikat.

The Poem:  How to destroy a people     
First of all, teach your own children,
with their mothers milk, 
with the songs that you sing to them at night,
that they are entitled,that the land 
has always been theirs.
Over and over again, until the other people
who share this land
are made almost invisible, 
so that they become mere shadows
to be brushed out of the way of your sun.
 
Don't show your children the maps 
which shows that other land subsumed, 
gradually vanishing from year to year.  
Justify what you do with the profound suffering
 that your people endured;
Let that blind and deafen you to the 
suffering of others. 
Trap them into an airless corridor of land, 
deny them access to their water sources,
tell your selves that you're entitled 
to all their resources.
 
Destroy their olive groves,deny them the choice
 of their own leaders.  
Build up an army that leeches upon the hearts
 of all your men; 
create over and over again an enemy to throw
 your fears upon. 
Then when your enemies young men
 break out of the anguish
that defines their days, 
unleash your armies, send your obliterating bombs
that we finance, into the schools,the hospitals,
 the playgrounds;
And then allow yourselves to weep 
and send up prayers for the maimed
and murdered children that lie beside their 
lifeless mothers, traumatized and dazed.     
Israel, would you rather bring down the world,
 than face up to the reality 
of what you are doing to your own humanity?

OBAMA—THE SEARCH FOR AN IDEALISTIC HUMANE GOVERNMENT CONTINUES

2008-11-16T17:54:00.007Z

It has been many years since the famous “I Have a Dream” Lincoln Memorial speech of 28th August, 1963 by Martin Luther King where he wished to see a United States of America where her people would be judged not by the colour of their skin but by the contents and strength of their character. Surprisingly or not so surprisingly whenever you heard anything about “I have a Dream” speech in the media it never went beyond the colour of their skin and the one about the strength and contents of your character was disdainfully dismissed.

Now what exactly is this thing called: the colour of your skin; the more appropriate word is skin tone - and scientifically speaking the melanin content of your skin or pigment. Each and every human being on this over populated planet of ours (i.e. almost 5 billions or 6 billions- too much already in any case!) have their own skin tone and most importantly it is not a fixed thing; i.e. prolonged exposure to the sun or complete lack of it will cause the skin to take various hues and shades of colour. The quote un quote “white” world spends billions of dollars on sunny beach vacation destinations to work on their tans and even super rich businessman or politicians who are always dropping the words “men and women of colour” in their conversations are often seen holidaying/relaxing on their yachts with a pot belly and a reddish brown suntan. It seems like they need the “men and women of colour” from all over the world to work hard so he can have a break and have suntan like his employees. Let’s also not forget thousands of suntan places doing brisk business all over America and the western world. The point I am trying to make here is the absurdity and the hypocrisy of this whole system based on the tonality of your skin.
The novelist Mr Joseph Conrad in his novel “The Heart of Darkness” observes caustically that Imperialism as nothing but plundering and enslaving of people and culture that possess darker skin a different hair pattern and slightly flatter noses. That they have those particular physical characteristics because of the proximity of the Sun to those equatorial countries is conveniently ignored. What an uninteresting drab world it will be if we all looked just the same. Thank God for our diversity and differences. It seems the ruling class or the ruling elite chose an arbitrary system to divide people to justify their exploitations - and hence the birth of racism and slavery. And then later on religion was added to justify and compound the problem. This vicious cycle of exploitation needs to be broken once and for all for human beings to evolve and move forward in consciousness.
If we look around in this world and here I thank profusely the Discovery channel Animal planet... Plant planet …so on and so forth we are overwhelmed and awed by the beauty and mind boggling range of diversity that stares us right into our face both in the floral and faun an world. And it is only when we come to the Human world this whole concept of diversity takes a back seat in the bus. Why? The answer is simple economics. Everything in this world can be boiled down to hard core economics which in plain English translates for the benefits and advantages of wealth certain people will go to extreme lengths to justify their heinous acts.

In the present times we are not in direct slavery anymore but we are still modern slaves, whether we are slave to technology, heavily dependent upon the economics, slaved and intoxicated by power and wealth… which always goes hand in hand….slave to wrong images as manufactured by the media and the advertising industry which has reduced masses of people to nothing but consumers of enormous amounts of not needed (unwanted) products. We are increasingly living in a very Americanised McDonaldised, televisionised world where more and more malls are being constructed and plastic soap operas and coca colas are thrust upon people who were very recently farmers and fishermen. They simply do not understand what is going on? A simple peaceful life of hard labour and living close to nature (where their main source of joy comes from!) has been replaced by concrete steel glass and plastic civilisation---If we can call that civilisation at all? The people living within that civilisation are themselves uneasy and unhappy and now we go world wide to dump that on simple indigenous people who frankly does not need our civilisation. On the contrary they may have many valuable lessons to teach us on how not to rape and plunder nature ceaselessly and make her barren and bald way before her time.
Now my readers you may ask what does it have to do with Obama as the New president elect of America in 2008 elections…patience my friends and fellow readers. It is America that holds the key to the survival of this planet and mankind. (We say Man-Kind but surprisingly so few in the present days of Ugly competition are actually kind or generous!). It is this very American spirit of can do attitude and nothing is impossible made the global imperialism of USA happen. Is it not possible (and I know I am going out on a limb here) that same spirit once properly inspired can bring about a different sort of change. The Change in people’s heart and attitude, his mind body and spirit. A feeling of Oneness, that we are in this altogether as one mankind one race the Human race. This endless exploitation of world resources to feed the frenzied whimsy of the super-rich and their lifestyle must stop. The world simply does not have enough resources for one billion Chinese and Indian people to catch up with their first world dreams and the life style that goes with it. What we need is to re-evaluate how we have been conducting ourselves and our businesses all over the world. Business as usual also equals to exploitation, poverty and misery as usual. A more balanced sustainable and ethical ways of conducting business is absolutely Imperative and urgent.

Change we must (otherwise it will be forced upon us anyway!) in our attitude our thinking and our lifestyle—mostly in the Westernised democracies of the world to pave the way for a peaceful, tolerable Just and green world. What America does today the rest of the world follows. It is only in America people are not burdened down heavily with an obsolete past breathing heavily over their shoulders, and thus making quick dynamic movements almost impossible. This is what happens with other countries, they are burdened by their own past from India to China to Europe it is a heavy price to pay in the name of tradition and culture, - while America is light and quick footed always flexible, re-inventing and re-discovering herself since her birth of democracy (approximately 250 years ago) to the present times, as election of Mr Barrack Obama as the new President clearly proves. America is moving forward from a colour bound to a colour blind society. It is not that America is incapable of mistakes but it also knows how to rectify and learn from her previous mistakes. In an increasingly bifurcated world of haves and have- nots whether in America, UK India, Africa or Europe we need to set aside our superficial differences whatever they may be(nationality, skin tone, looks etc) and work together for the overall benefits of the Human race. I am specially calling out to good kind decent and well meaning individuals of all nations to work together for a Greater Good and to be honest our very survival and existence on this planet is at stake. (Hell folks we don’t have much time left!)

This beautiful blue white and green Planet Earth of ours which we call home which looks so wondrously beautiful from space yet fragile is screaming for Change---and it is up to us ----to All of US to make that change and transition from steps leading to a mass graveyard to the steps leading to a beautiful garden. I think to me the choice is obvious. What the world needs Right Now is Kindness and Compassion more Contemplativeness, Meditation, a silent Prayer to heal this broken world of ours. This does not necessarily mean that we sit in meditative poses folding our legs (though half an hour a day is not too much to ask surely?) but we have to integrate our kindness and compassion into the everyday world of workplace and practice it with all sincerity and earnestness. We are the keepers of our fellow brothers and sisters and then and only then can we become True care-takers of this world, this Planet Earth.

As I have mentioned in the title of this article “Obama—The Search for An Idealistic Humane Government Continues”…..but that cannot happen unless we ourselves become Human and Humane individuals.

PEACE ON EARTH….PEACE ON EARTH….MAY PEACE BREATHE IN OUR TROUBLED HEARTS AND SOULS.

P.S: A note to my readers, you may or may not have noticed I use the word human quite often in this article and I will continue to do so…it is a bit like drilling advertising slogans by TV people and I will continue to say Human----till one fine morning you wake up and you realise that you are nothing but a Human Being after all and all your false identities have been stripped away from you. I look forward to that particular Dawn.

(Aside: I do not mind if that defining moment happens in evening or noon-times, as long as it happens!)

HUMANITY DIVIDED IN BOTH ACTION & REACTION

2008-11-16T17:43:00.003Z

HUMANITY DIVIDED IN BOTH ACTION & REACTION
“All that we will outwardly manifest rises from within our hearts/and sins of deeds have their seeds in the sins of our thoughts”
“The scenario below could be applied not only to a actual wars (Civil or between Nations) but also to the field of Sport where we celebrate the moment of our “Victory” or “defeat” of our National & Local teams in Athletics or football, as in other aspects of group competition, with our use of “out of date language” derived from more barbaric times”
Always we responded to the News of the “Victory”
in our opposed and opposite ways,
to some of us a success greeted joyfully,
to others despair, ill-boding for our future days
we were not all involved in the actual divisive action:
but all were involved in the aftermath’s divise reaction
what seemed to matter most was who had lost & who’d won,
rather than peace, at last, restored at a bloody setting sun;
of course, all the bereaved there mourned their dead-
the least you could say we all had that in common!
But we should have celebrated a new chance, instead
to end all our divisions whoever had “lost” or “won”
for this emotional division in most hearts lived on,
ensuring that the old war would be re-begun!

Re Religious & Political Disputes
It’s high time that we left “God” out of this!
All our disputes are between but ourselves,
He, It may be our judge in the after-life
but gives laws for our conduct while on Earth we’re alive
which all must equally obey – the jury is still out,
nothing gained by that emotional ranting and shout-
for “God” is not “on your side” nor “on mine”
but on that of a greater Harmony Divine!
All have done some wrong, but have done some right
and the best way to decide is not with each other to fight
for Peaceful negotiation brings Heaven but fighting brings hell
for all involved that in “disputed areas” dwell
and “God”, above all, gave us all rational “Common sense”
so to learn our best Wisdom from experience!

Is “The Truth” Really Nothing But a “Myth”?
“Theories & hypotheses that go unquestioned can often end up being taken as ‘facts’!”
We can believe in the most surreal, bizarre things,
like the Romans that they were refugees from the Fall of Troy
that the Hebrew Ark of the Covenant is an African Drum*
and Abraham begat all the tribes of Israel,
for our beliefs become like holograms
projected outwards from our imaginations,
as once I dreamt that the Spirit of a girl that I loved
used to walk with me in the darkness of the wood, like I, as a child, believed in Santa Clause,
till scepticism made me from such beliefs to pause
and asserted that what is could be only what I see,
all the rest an alluring Movie Fantasy-
fiction or fact? What is “myth” and what “truth”?
I AM, WE ARE, our only living reality on this Earth!

* The Lemba Tribe of South Africa believe this & that they are descended from a lost refugee Tribe of Israel according to a Channel 4 TV Documentary.

THE QUIET, GENTLE WORK OF DAWN
As Nature so Man wakes on a perfect, clear morn
for the gentle, quiet work of a new dawn
for the preparation of sowing new life’s seeds,
as Mother Nature strews hers, to meet all creature’s needs,
with no resounding speeches, as in our human halls,
as the ageless music of bird song on our ears falls;
we have the illusion in our abstract speech
that we’re changing the world as our words others reach,
but each day these quiet tasks await
as the myriad silent ones work in Eden’s gate,
all done, by hand, in every place and land,
thus created what we witness wherever we stand
so let this be a quiet one’s hymn of praise
to be these Wise Ones as we create that upon which we gaze,
each, all who are anonymous can contribute the notes
to a symphony of New Creation that we all, together, compose!
Everybody’s Poem Can Be There Own Little Garden!
There could be as many little poems & gardens as people,
collaged, filling out world everywhere with beauty,
and every one’s own poem or painting or garden,
their own romantic, shrine-like corner of Heaven,
their retreat wherein to find their own Inner Peace
where music and colour flow on without cease;
yes, of course, there are those great & prolific poets
who can create entire landscapes and sagas:
but what matters most is that we each, all create
our own fertile, cosy spaces, our Soul-Needs to meet,
even as our New Renaissance is such a landscape of a myriad small gardens,
fragrant with flowers and the Nine Muses’ perfumes,
in which we like birds, in song, take wing,
added Rainbows of joy or melancholy to bring!

DANGERS OF INTROSPECTION
When one sinks and thinks too deeply, into the experience of one’s own life, one can become like a deep, dark well in which one loses sight of the world beyond and in which no one else can see or hear you,
even if, at the bottom of that well, one might tap the Spring Eternal of the God within.

HYMN TO HUMAN LOVE

There is something we can do
with the sky falling and gas rising
jobs shredding and income going
It is to love. Start small-with a plant,a cat,a dog
unconditionally extend to that which
does not necessarily return your affection-
land,sea,earth,sky-why
people have loved these elements before and after you
and will love them as much as you
It is just a lesson in what you can do
when you choose to love.Now you have extended
from nature to animals to living plants and pets
in time you may choose to love human beings
First you need to find them! They hide well!
Humans have been hunted for their affection since the cave age
and often present targets for wars,seductions,false prophets
Relax.Love yourself.That will get you through times
when no other love seems real.Then be surprised by what you feel
when other love manifests /attuned to you

EMPOWER AMERICA - Al Gore

Follow Al Gore's lead and tell your local paper it's time to Repower America.

Write a Letter to the Editor!

Dear Carol,

In an editorial published Sunday in the New York Times, Al Gore outlined the Repower America Plan -- how to achieve 100% clean electricity within ten years. We've included the editorial below. Vice President Gore describes what's required to transform our nation's energy economy. Can you help spread the word?

An easy way to help is to simply write a short letter to the editor of your local paper. If you write today, your letter could get into the Sunday edition this coming weekend. Just go to:

http://www.wecansolveit.org/page/m2/396e8915/6ffd7735/823c7da/19ba5611/2267774881/VEsC/

This is a key moment. President-elect Obama has said that focusing on energy and climate will be a first priority in the new administration. Congress and the new President need to see that they have strong support to "go big" in solving these problems, with clean, homegrown energy -- even in the face of the powerful fossil fuel lobbies.

To build this kind of national commitment, we need to clearly expose the "common thread" that connects three of our nation's major challenges -- the economy, national security, and the climate crisis. This common thread is our dependence on dirty coal and foreign oil.

As Al Gore writes, "Here is the good news: the bold steps that are needed to solve the climate crisis are exactly the same steps that ought to be taken in order to solve the economic crisis and the energy security crisis."

Our simple online tool makes it easy to submit a letter to your local paper. And the letters-to-the-editor section is one of the most widely read sections of any newspaper, because people want to hear what other people think.

The Climate for Change
By AL GORE
Published: November 9, 2008

The inspiring and transformative choice by the American people to elect Barack Obama as our 44th president lays the foundation for another fateful choice that he -- and we -- must make this January to begin an emergency rescue of human civilization from the imminent and rapidly growing threat posed by the climate crisis.

The electrifying redemption of America's revolutionary declaration that all human beings are born equal sets the stage for the renewal of United States leadership in a world that desperately needs to protect its primary endowment: the integrity and livability of the planet.

The world authority on the climate crisis, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, after 20 years of detailed study and four unanimous reports, now says that the evidence is "unequivocal." To those who are still tempted to dismiss the increasingly urgent alarms from scientists around the world, ignore the melting of the north polar ice cap and all of the other apocalyptic warnings from the planet itself, and who roll their eyes at the very mention of this existential threat to the future of the human species, please wake up. Our children and grandchildren need you to hear and recognize the truth of our situation, before it is too late.

Here is the good news: the bold steps that are needed to solve the climate crisis are exactly the same steps that ought to be taken in order to solve the economic crisis and the energy security crisis.

Economists across the spectrum -- including Martin Feldstein and Lawrence Summers -- agree that large and rapid investments in a jobs-intensive infrastructure initiative is the best way to revive our economy in a quick and sustainable way. Many also agree that our economy will fall behind if we continue spending hundreds of billions of dollars on foreign oil every year. Moreover, national security experts in both parties agree that we face a dangerous strategic vulnerability if the world suddenly loses access to Middle Eastern oil.

As Abraham Lincoln said during America's darkest hour, "The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew, and act anew." In our present case, thinking anew requires discarding an outdated and fatally flawed definition of the problem we face.

Thirty-five years ago this past week, President Richard Nixon created Project Independence, which set a national goal that, within seven years, the United States would develop "the potential to meet our own energy needs without depending on any foreign energy sources." His statement came three weeks after the Arab oil embargo had sent prices skyrocketing and woke America to the dangers of dependence on foreign oil. And -- not coincidentally -- it came only three years after United States domestic oil production had peaked.

At the time, the United States imported less than a third of its oil from foreign countries. Yet today, after all six of the presidents succeeding Nixon repeated some version of his goal, our dependence has doubled from one-third to nearly two-thirds -- and many feel that global oil production is at or near its peak.

Some still see this as a problem of domestic production. If we could only increase oil and coal production at home, they argue, then we wouldn't have to rely on imports from the Middle East. Some have come up with even dirtier and more expensive new ways to extract the same old fuels, like coal liquids, oil shale, tar sands and "clean coal" technology.

But in every case, the resources in question are much too expensive or polluting, or, in the case of "clean coal," too imaginary to make a difference in protecting either our national security or the global climate. Indeed, those who spend hundreds of millions promoting "clean coal" technology consistently omit the fact that there is little investment and not a single large-scale demonstration project in the United States for capturing and safely burying all of this pollution. If the coal industry can make good on this promise, then I'm all for it. But until that day comes, we simply cannot any longer base the strategy for human survival on a cynical and self-interested illusion.

Here's what we can do -- now: we can make an immediate and large strategic investment to put people to work replacing 19th-century energy technologies that depend on dangerous and expensive carbon-based fuels with 21st-century technologies that use fuel that is free forever: the sun, the wind and the natural heat of the earth.

What follows is a five-part plan to repower America with a commitment to producing 100 percent of our electricity from carbon-free sources within 10 years. It is a plan that would simultaneously move us toward solutions to the climate crisis and the economic crisis -- and create millions of new jobs that cannot be outsourced.

First, the new president and the new Congress should offer large-scale investment in incentives for the construction of concentrated solar thermal plants in the Southwestern deserts, wind farms in the corridor stretching from Texas to the Dakotas and advanced plants in geothermal hot spots that could produce large amounts of electricity.

Second, we should begin the planning and construction of a unified national smart grid for the transport of renewable electricity from the rural places where it is mostly generated to the cities where it is mostly used. New high-voltage, low-loss underground lines can be designed with "smart" features that provide consumers with sophisticated information and easy-to-use tools for conserving electricity, eliminating inefficiency and reducing their energy bills. The cost of this modern grid -- $400 billion over 10 years -- pales in comparison with the annual loss to American business of $120 billion due to the cascading failures that are endemic to our current balkanized and antiquated electricity lines.

Third, we should help America's automobile industry (not only the Big Three but the innovative new startup companies as well) to convert quickly to plug-in hybrids that can run on the renewable electricity that will be available as the rest of this plan matures. In combination with the unified grid, a nationwide fleet of plug-in hybrids would also help to solve the problem of electricity storage. Think about it: with this sort of grid, cars could be charged during off-peak energy-use hours; during peak hours, when fewer cars are on the road, they could contribute their electricity back into the national grid.

Fourth, we should embark on a nationwide effort to retrofit buildings with better insulation and energy-efficient windows and lighting. Approximately 40 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in the United States come from buildings -- and stopping that pollution saves money for homeowners and businesses. This initiative should be coupled with the proposal in Congress to help Americans who are burdened by mortgages that exceed the value of their homes.

Fifth, the United States should lead the way by putting a price on carbon here at home, and by leading the world's efforts to replace the Kyoto treaty next year in Copenhagen with a more effective treaty that caps global carbon dioxide emissions and encourages nations to invest together in efficient ways to reduce global warming pollution quickly, including by sharply reducing deforestation.

Of course, the best way -- indeed the only way -- to secure a global agreement to safeguard our future is by re-establishing the United States as the country with the moral and political authority to lead the world toward a solution.

Looking ahead, I have great hope that we will have the courage to embrace the changes necessary to save our economy, our planet and ultimately ourselves.

In an earlier transformative era in American history, President John F. Kennedy challenged our nation to land a man on the moon within 10 years. Eight years and two months later, Neil Armstrong set foot on the lunar surface. The average age of the systems engineers cheering on Apollo 11 from the Houston control room that day was 26, which means that their average age when President Kennedy announced the challenge was 18.

This year similarly saw the rise of young Americans, whose enthusiasm electrified Barack Obama's campaign. There is little doubt that this same group of energized youth will play an essential role in this project to secure our national future, once again turning seemingly impossible goals into inspiring success.

Al Gore, the vice president from 1993 to 2001, was the co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007. He founded the Alliance for Climate Protection and, as a businessman, invests in alternative energy companies.

Barack Obama has become the first black US president after a landslide election victory.
Obama wins historic US election

Have your say: John McCain
The 47-year-old Democrat led his Republican rival John McCain by 297 votes to 139 as he passed the magic number of 270 needed to win the presidency at 4am GMT. Later projections showed he won by 349 votes to 158.
Mr Obama promised change and a new dawn of leadership.
Speaking after sweeping a series of key battleground states in a landslide electoral college victory, he pledged to be a president of all Americans and vowed to overcome challenges which were "the greatest of our lifetime", including two wars, a global economic crisis and a planet in peril.
"I promise you, we as a people will get there," he said.
Cheered on by tens of thousands of supporters in Chicago's Grant Park, Mr Obama took to a stage lined with US flags with his his wife Michelle and young daughters Malia, ten, and Sasha, seven, at his side.
Mr Obama told those whose support he had not won: "I hear your voices, I need your help and I will be your president too."
He said he would listen to his opponents, adopt a multilateral approach to world affairs and told those watching outside the US that "our stories are singular but our destiny is shared".
"The new dawn of America leadership is at hand," he said.
"To those who would tear the world down, we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security, we support you.
"And to all those who have wondered if American's beacon still burns as bright, tonight we've proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
"That's the true genius of America. The road ahead will be long, our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year, or even in one term, but America I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there.
"I promise you, we, as a people, will get there."
Many in the crowd were crying and even political pundits on major US TV networks wiped tears from their eyes as the man who could transform race relations in America ascended to the highest office in the land.
Conceding defeat in his home state of Arizona, Mr McCain said: "The American people have spoken and they have spoken clearly. This is an historic election."
Mr McCain joined outgoing president George W Bush in calling Mr Obama to congratulate him personally.
Mr Obama, a first-term senator from Illinois, will be sworn in as the 44th US president on January 20, 2009.
The win by Mr Obama, the son of a black father from Kenya and white mother from Kansas, comes 45 years after the high point of the equality movement led by Martin Luther King Jr.
The assassinated civil rights leader's daughter Bernice King said: "I was very excited tonight and moved to tears."

"THE BIRTH OF HOPE" (by Mandel Rheems)

2008-11-16T17:00:00.004Z

The coming forth & awakening of a new hopeful & peaceful age that is upon us, some call the Aquarian Age, will become also a greater movement & awakening to the prophesies & visions foretelling of the coming deeper changes in preparation for the Golden Age ahead.
We, of the high council of the ancient Elders, of this planetary sphere called: Mother Earth, or “VAGRA”, are bound by the holiest & deepest commitment to the righteous forces of Cosmic & karmic laws, of the lowest & highest prophetic intent. We are foretelling of the coming forth of a renewed hope regarding the coming planetary disruptions in the immediate renewal & cleansing of karmic negative residue of vibrations & energies – of pollution of the physical emotional & mental thought forms, - & the perverted residue of absolute degradation, that has entered the Earth’s sphere, throughout the thousands of decades & the eons of time – since all began! For life on the planetary spheres connected to the Earth’s evolution & plan.
ALL IS IN GOOD HANDS! - WE HAVE THE PROFOUND AUTHORITY TO ISSUE FORTH THE PROFOUNDEST DECLARATION THAT: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The exploitation & perversion of these spheres & the abuse of the innocent & vulnerable ones, the corrupt workings of the scientific thought, & the selfish exploitation of the scientific mind of genetic engineering, also including the continued evolving & degrading activities of vivisection & factory farming, will be stopped!
AS A BODY OF THE GUARDIANS OF THE UNIVERSAL SPHERES, WITH THE HELP OF THE GALACTIC FEDERATION, INCLUDING THE GREAT WHITE BROTHERHOOD / SISTERHOOD & THE LORDS OF THE DARKER SPHERES & THE DARKER REALMS, “VAGRA”, WILL BE HEARD!

Greetings and Blessings, I have just received the gift of a new YOUTube Video of the Prayer In Celebration of President-Elect Barack Obama.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc5g8fxv3KA This video which was created by Yubupa serves as another reminder of what happens when we come together in love, and allow space for others to share with us and expand our vision. I believe this is why we elected Senator Barack Obama. As an artist, the collaborative is very important to me and I marvel at my Soul Sisters Yubupa ( for her Videos) and Michelle Murray (and her students)at Miami-Dade Community College in Florida for their choreography of my poetry in dance and video. I would be honored if you would share Yubupa's In Celebration of President Barack Obama video far and wide. Thank you!

A POEM DEDICATED TO PEACE

2008-11-10T22:31:00.003Z

BY SAIKAT MONDAL - From his book "Dialogues With My Self"
* * * * * * * * *
Peace, thou God’s beloved Angel
When on Earth, will you forever reign?
Behind every newborn’s smile
You put all hope of lasting Peace;
And again all your hopes are dashed
As they grow up, only to run after cash.

When will this hypocrisy end?
Only then, can Peace on Earth descend.
Peace & prosperity goes hand in hand
Never do they both in one place stand
Like bees roaming from flower to flower
Peace & prosperity roams, distributing harmony & power.

Searching for Peace all over the world
But it dwells in our hearts, innermost shrine;
Clear the dust and let it shine.
We substitute wars to justify peace
But how many bloody wars ever peace restore
Enough. Enough bloodshed, Please no more.

A day will soon to mankind dawn
The day when all forms of hostility is gone
No bitterness, no fights
No nationality and religions too.
In unison, we all will sing from our heart
Peace, Peace, Peace is here to stay at last.

I know it’s a dream
That may never come true
But we must dream on
What else is there to do.
O Lord, Let Peace be still
Let it not be a flickering flame in gusty wind.

Hi Carol,

When you READ this e-letter, you will get an idea how it
FEELS to see things without judgment...

Seeing things without judgment can
Skyrocket your manifestations...

Let me start off with a fictional story...

hmm..., An absolutely fictional story!

Once there was this world in which everyone was wearing
blue shades...

Perhaps, they were all born with these shades...

They thought it was part of them, since they were always
wearing them...

Having blue shades on, they would see everything in blue

But, they were whispers of existence of others colors...

Apparently, small group of them had a glimpse of
light without blue filters...

Perhaps, their shades had seams or were not rigidly
attached to their eyes...

This small group could see other colors sometimes...

But

They could not explain it to others...

You see Carol, the problem was in this world,
they didn't have words for other colors...

That's why it was so difficult to convince others that
there are other colors

In fact, every one of them had glimpses of other colors through
the seams of their shades but most of them dismissed those
cases as flukes...

Except that small group of people who were
exposed to bright light at some point and more light had made its
way through the seams unfiltered...

Some others called them MIRACLES...

So obviously, you understand why some of the people in this world
would be very skeptical about the existence of other colors...
Some even critical...

The most critical ones said: "OK, let's test it"
They were very logical. So they built real sophisticated
devices to detect other colors...

They built the device and looked through it...
Guess what? They saw blue only again, because they still
had their blue shades on...

You see Carol, they didn't know that the problem
was not out there. They were all kind of colors out there...

The problem was within. The problem was with the way they
were seeing things, filtering the whole reality and seeing
only a tiny part of it...

I've got to tell you, this story was not as fictional as I initially
claimed...and by the way, this is not the end of the story. I will
tell you the ending at the end of the e-letter.

We are all walking around with certain beliefs that are
preventing us from manifesting GREAT RELATIONSHIPS,
GREAT WEALTH, or other desires... wrong beliefs that we are not
even aware of because like those blue shades, they have been
with us for a long time...

But you know, there is a way to take off the shades, and see
all the opportunities out there and manifest your greatest
desires... (Even those desires that the blue shade wearers say
they're
impossible)

In my ebook, I talk about manifestation sessions and belief
changes. In my Upcoming AUDIO SERIES, I go even DEEPER in that:

Oh, by the way, as for the end of the story, it does have a happy
ending...

That small group ended up learning how to take off their blue shades
systematically. They are now coming up with great methods to do
that...

And now they are spreading it around in that world. People are
learning
how to take their blue shades off and see the whole range of colors
and
see how beautiful the life can be...

From: "Patricia Cota-Robles" Add sender to Contacts To: oneearthmissionandvision@yahoo.co.http://erapeace.org

Your I AM Presence, your true God Self, has been preparing you for lifetimes to assist during these very challenging times. You have skill, wisdom, strength and courage beyond your knowing. Take the time to go within, and ask the Presence of God pulsating in your heart how you can add to the Light of the world during this critical and auspicious moment in the Earth’s evolution.

The Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth are reassuring us that everything is unfolding in perfect alignment with the Divine Plan. The powerful purging and cleansing taking place for all of us individually and collectively is indeed intense, but it is a necessary process in paving the way for the anchoring of the archetypes for the New Earth. These archetypes are the patterns of perfection from the Causal Body of God through which God’s Abundance and Eternal Peace will manifest in the physical plane. According to the Spiritual Hierarchy, anchoring these patterns for the New Earth is the greatest need of the hour. The Legions of Light throughout Infinity are standing in readiness awaiting the opportunity to assist us in unprecedented ways, but they cannot intervene without our cooperation. Our Light and Love are needed now.

At this time, the entire Company of Heaven is embracing the Earth in powerful forcefields of Divine Love and Protection. In spite of the horrific things we see taking place all over the world, nothing is happening by accident. At some level, we have all agreed to participate in the facet of the purging process in which we are involved. This is true, even if the facet of the healing process involves people leaving the physical plane.

This is the moment we have all been working toward. This is the Cosmic Moment when Humanity’s descent into poverty consciousness and chaos will be reversed, and the NEW archetypes for Humanity’s Abundance and Eternal Peace will be permanently established on Earth. We knew this would involve an intense cleansing process, and we vowed that we would do whatever was necessary in order for this facet of the Divine Plan to be God Victoriously accomplished. We agreed to this, because we were shown the end results. We were shown the glory and the wonders of the New Earth. In deep humility and gratitude, we agreed that whatever it took to manifest that perfection on behalf of Humanity and Mother Earth, it was going to be worth it.

The viable solutions for all of the maladies existing on Earth are beginning to flow from the Realms of Illumined Truth into Humanity’s hearts and conscious minds. In order to bring these powerful solutions into physical manifestation, awakened people need to have the financial support to bypass the old paradigms of greed and corruption that caused the problems in the first place. At this very moment, there are patterns of perfection from the Causal Body of God that contain the practical solutions to our energy crisis, global warming, disease, poverty, aging, hunger, homelessness, war and every other human miscreation.

Lightworkers around the world have spent decades magnetizing the 5th-Dimensional patterns of the New Earth into the physical, etheric, mental and emotional strata of this planet. At last, we have reached a critical mass that is creating an unstoppable quantum shift. This shift of energy, vibration and consciousness will lift Mother Earth and ALL her Life out of the painful and distorted patterns of Humanity’s miscreations. This shift is paving the way, so that the glorious patterns of the New Earth can physically manifest on Earth.

The Legions of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth have said that this year, 2008, will go down in the annals of history as the Cosmic Moment when Humanity’s descent into poverty consciousness was reversed BY THE UNIFIED EFFORTS OF LIGHTWORKERS EVERYWHERE. This is the year in which Humanity’s ascent into the Infinite Abundance and Eternal Peace of our Father-Mother God will be reclaimed as our Divine Birthright.

In order for this facet of the Divine Plan to be fulfilled, we are all being called to a Higher Service. We are being asked to join with the Company of Heaven, as we cocreate an outer-world activity of Light that will allow the Light of God to flow into the planet in ways we have never before experienced. It is very difficult to express the magnitude of this opportunity by means of verbal communication. So as you read these words, please take them into your heart, and ask your I AM Presence to reveal to you the Truth of this message and to show you what your part is in this Divine Plan.

It is an irrefutable natural law that God’s Abundance and Eternal Peace are inseparable aspects of our Father-Mother God. Without God’s Abundance, Eternal Peace will not be sustained, and without Eternal Peace, God’s Abundance will not be sustained. When we fully comprehend this Truth, we begin to glimpse the magnitude of the opportunity that is being presented to Humanity this year.

There will be several ways in which people will participate in this facet of the Divine Plan. The most important thing for us to consider is that we have all been preparing for lifetimes for this opportunity. We each have been trained by our I AM Presence to fulfill a particular part of this Divine Plan. It is imperative that we ask our I AM Presence for guidance. Then, we must listen to the promptings of our heart and respond to this inner calling.

Archangel Michael and the entire Company of Heaven are asking Lightworkers around the world to respond to this clarion call. We are being asked to gather within the forcefield of Archangel Michael’s Focus of Light, which pulsates in the Etheric Realms above Lake Louise and the surrounding mountains near Banff, Canada. Together we will form a mighty transformer of Light through which the NEW archetypes for Humanity’s Abundance and Eternal Peace will be anchored on Earth.

We will serve as surrogates on behalf of ALL Humanity, holding the sacred space for the I AM Presence of every awakening soul. We will cocreate the Open Door through which God’s Abundance and Eternal Peace will flow into the lives of every man, woman and child on Earth.

This has to be a joint effort. No matter how willing and capable the Legions of Light are or how committed these Beings are to helping us anchor the archetypes of God’s Abundance and Eternal Peace, they cannot do it for us. They can only respond to our willingness to serve as instruments of God. But, amazingly, once we respond to our heart’s call and volunteer to do whatever it takes to be the Open Door that no one can shut, the floodgates of Heaven open to assist us.

These selfless messengers of God have been given permission by our Father-Mother God to amplify our efforts a thousand times a thousandfold. This means that THE MORE LIGHTWORKERS WHO RESPOND TO THIS CLARION CALL, the more powerful we will be and the more Light the Company of Heaven will be able to add to this Divine Plan.

The vehicle to gather Lightworkers within the Forcefield of Archangel Michael at Lake Louise in Canada is the 22nd Annual World Congress on Illumination. This event will occur over the anniversary of Harmonic Convergence, August 16-21, 2008.

This life-transforming annual event has been taking place every year since Harmonic Convergence in 1987. This year will be the 22nd World Congress on Illumination. Twenty-two (22) is the master number that reflects POWER ON ALL PLANES AND THE ABILITY TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY. The synchronicity of this event with the unfolding Divine Plan has been orchestrated by the Company of Heaven.

Our time is at hand. Listen to your heart, and you will KNOW your part in this Divine Plan. Archangel Michael is awaiting your response. Ask the Company of Heaven for assistance in paving the way for you to attend this activity of Light. Trust your inner knowing. All is well.

This sacred conclave will be a celestial experience for everyone involved. Each day, as we successfully fulfill one phase of the Divine Plan, Archangel Michael and the Spiritual Hierarchy will reveal the next phase of the plan to us. As we sojourn through the various activities of Light, under the Divine Guidance of our Father-Mother God and the Company of Heaven, our mission will be victoriously accomplished.

When you enter Archangel Michael’s portal of Light, you will experience the full magnitude of his Power and Protection. Within the Divinity of your Heart Flame you will remember your mission on Earth, and you will be filled with bliss and elation for the opportunity at hand.

The World Congress On Illumination is truly a life-transforming event that will provide you with the opportunity to meet old friends from around the world with whom you have been serving for aeons of time. You will join hearts with fellow Lightworkers who will support you in your selfless service to the Light.

The Divine Plan we are being called to fulfill will be accomplished through myriad activities of Light. We will be joined at inner levels by the Solar Logos from Suns beyond Suns, the entire Company of Heaven, the I AM Presence of ALL Humanity, the Divine Intelligence that directs the Elemental Kingdom, the Mighty Elohim and the Legions of Angels throughout Infinity. All of this will occur within the Infinite Body of our omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent Father-Mother God, All That Is.

The entire Universe is supporting us in this holy endeavor. The Beings of Light have been given permission to assist us in myriad ways, but the Lightworkers on Earth are a critical factor in bringing this Divine Plan into physical manifestation. Our responsibility is enormous, but when we join our hearts together, we will succeed God Victoriously.

Just for a moment, go within to the Divinity of your Heart Flame, and experience the overwhelming Gratitude and Love pouring forth from our Father-Mother God and the Beings of Light in the Heavenly Realms. Feel the deep appreciation being sent to you from On High for your willingness to serve Humanity and ALL Life during this critical moment in the evolution of this blessed planet.

Our website, http://eraofpeace.org, contains all of the information you will need in order to participate in the 22nd Annual World Congress on Illumination. Read everything carefully and feel the elation pouring forth from the Heavenly Realms. After aeons of time, the archetypes for the Abundance of God and Eternal Peace are being permanently established in the lives of awakening Humanity. Thank you, God.

WAYS TO PARTICIPATE

There will be many ways in which Lightworkers all over the world will participate in this unprecedented opportunity. Many will have the heart call to serve as the Hands of God on behalf of ALL Humanity. They will travel to Archangel Michael’s Focus of Light and become mighty transformers through which the Light of God will flow to anchor the NEW archetypes for Humanity’s Abundance and Eternal Peace.

Some Lightworkers will be inspired to travel to various sacred sites on the planet to magnetize the NEW archetypes that are being anchored within the focus of Archangel Michael, and project them into Mother Earth’s Crystal Grid System. Other Lightworkers will gather with their groups in their own locations. They will join with us in consciousness, and they will weave their Light and Love into this global activity of Light. And still others will join in consciousness from the solitude of their own sanctuaries.

All of these ways of participating are vital to the success of this Divine Mission. The important thing is that you truly listen to your heart and respond according to your heart’s call and your particular facet of this Divine Plan. No one else can do this for you. Trust your inner knowing.

No matter where you are guided to be, know that we are ALL One. Precious Heart, your Light and Love are needed NOW!

BLESSINGS INDEED! - OUR BEST HOPES CAME TRUE: A RURAL BASE/BUNGALOW OFFERED BY A HOUSING ASSOCIATION, WHICH IS IDEAL TO BEGIN OUR DEEPER SPIRITUAL INNER WORK FOR HEALING, CREATIVE THERAPIES & DEEPER MEDITATION & RELAXATION!
It came at short notice, we viewed the next day, & claimed it for the Vision & Mission Sanctuary & work, as well as our new home! Mandel & I have not had a "Home Together" in the 4 & a half years we have been together, due to various difficulties! IT IS A MIRACLE INDEED! IT NEEDS FURNISHING (& MUCH PAPER-WORK WITH HEALTH AUTHORITIES & BENEFITS OFFICE) & PLANNING. BUT WE HAVE SIGNED UP & HAVE THE KEY TO THE DOOR! Having to give 4 weeks notice, etc, we plan to be moved in by 15th JUNE 2008. The cow field is only yards away, the pub just across the road has a cockerel to awaken us in the mornings, St Michael's church, equally nearby has bell-ringing to inspire; There's a farm shop, a 2-hrly bus service, a community centre & more to be discovered in the next few days! The nearest Small Town, which is FAVERSHAM, is really friendly & they have lots of helpful facilities! The nearest sea shore would be Whitstable - & Herne Bay where I have very many happy & spiritual memories, both as a child & adult!
We thank God / Goddess & the others concerned with all our hearts!

Fwd: [Vegetarian Friends] The May issue of The Peaceable Table is now online

2008-05-06T19:36:00.007+01:00

In this issue:

* With this issue we launch an irregular column to be entitled
"Glimpses of the Peaceable Kingdom," stories of extraordinary cross-
species relationships of love and friendship. PT has occasionally
featured such accounts in the past, but our Guest Editorial this month
tells a particularly wonderful story of a reptile and a mammal. Read
it and tell us what you think.

* The NewsNote tells of a fine bonobo sanctuary that has been opened
in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

* Bonobos, together with other animals and birds, are also featured
in the Essay Review of "Minds of Their Own," lead article in the March
'08 National Geographic.

* In the Film Review, we learn of some surprising analogies between
the situation of the hero of Horton Hears a Who! and that of animal
advocates.

* A recipe for delicious tsimmes, encountered at a Passover Seder,
appears in this month's Recipe column.

* The May "Pilgrim" is attorney and author Lee Hall, legal advisor of
Friends of Animals.

* Our Pioneer and Poet is another worthy from ancient Rome, the
lighthearted and sometimes ribald poet Ovid, who in this excerpt from

Subject: Global Love Day in NYC

I am just home from today's Global Love Day Program in NYC where we had Yatande Boko, a Haitian drummer, students in dance from Wadleigh Performing Arts High, Kathryn Twinfeathers, a Native American Flute player, Bridget Foley from the Museum for African Art, Marva Allen, CEO of Human Bookstore and many diverse members of the community.

We danced in front of Hue-man, and processed around the block on 125th up to St Nicholas and returned via 124th at the Magic Johnson Theatre Complex.

We then went into Hue-Man for a sacred circle and read poetry, talked about J. California Cooper, Sweet Honey and the Rock, Pete Seeger, the Sean Bell verdict, Mayor Bloomberg's greeting, etc--- Harold Becker and all of you from The Love Foundation, Global love---and loving ourselves.

The group read quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King, Khalil Gibran, Maya Angelou, and Thich Nat Hahn. Dancers shared solo performances to the flute, and drums. We celebrated the moment, and the day. It was glorious!

Kathryn Twinfeathers will send photos in a day or two.

With Love, and Appreciation! Miss Mellie Rainbow aka Melony McGant

These photos were sent to me in email today. These are of a pair of albino deer and were apparently taken near Karlstad, MN. I thought I'd share them with everyone here on Gather.

Albinos are rare, but twins have to be really rare!

Here you can see Dad ( or maybe big brother) keeping watch in the background.

Ihave a feeling these were taken with a motion sensing camera posted near the feeding station. A rare shot of albino twin deer at any rate! A real treat Mother Nature provided us with! C):-)

Further to job searching...

2008-04-27T14:21:00.006+01:00

Having taken a recent short break/mini retreat in Bexhill, Sussex - Mandel & I realised we could perhaps combine new job & new home for the Mission Base! Hence have been to local jobcentreplus in Bexhill & collected local papers for ads - & online classifieds. Ealing JCP also has jobs in Sussex & elsewhere. I have had 2 interviews so far with one booked for next Thursday in Hove, - with many other local paper ads collected from a day trip to Brighton.

We recently visited a new Mission contact in Bexhill, & have some other first time meetings in the pipe-line which we hope will all bear fruit, eventually, for working together for more Inner Peace & World Peace.

Some where in Sussex, or possibly Kent, would be good for a Mission semi-rural base for the deeper inner spiritual work & retreats / therapies.

Can anyone help in this?

Love, compassion, peace & good will - in forgiveness, & devotional selfless service - will triumph over selfish & ego motivation in the long run!

The Greater Task - to help bring more peace to the world, - the Altruistic Vision is not a pipe-dream.

We follow in a long line of saints, avatars & self-less servants of the Divine God / Goddess, who taught the sacred nature of all life in the universe - & sought to liberate humanity from its blind bigotries, fear & en masse desire for money, fame, power over others - and self-fulfilment at the cost of all else!

Let us forgive, & set the example of peaceful protest for a better world! - They may kill our body, but our spirit of Love & Compassionate Courage & outreach lives on eternally! - We will be back as Boddhisatva's to continue our task till all sentient life is liberated from suffering!
Blessings.

“BE LOVING AND GIVING”

2008-04-24T14:46:00.002+01:00

“BE LOVING AND GIVING”
BY ANN PRATLEY – IN 1977
Beloved late wife of Steven Pratley from Mablethorpe, Lincs,
- A friend of the “One Earth Vision and Mission”.

1. Be loving and giving,
To all creatures living,
Let none die in pain or in fear.
For on land, sea or air,
All the animals share,
In man’s equal rights to be here.

2. Starving dogs on a chain,
Injured cats in the rain,
Pets neglected, ill treated alone.
Take man’s blindness away,
Let us work for the day,
All men share, with their pets, a good home.

3. For the battery hen,
For the pigs in the pen,
For the calf, doomed to die on the farm.
Compassion we ask,
Let us make it our task,
To protect all farm creatures from harm.

4. Let us all say a prayer,
For the fox and the hare,
And for all creatures hunted for sport.
May all hunting cease,
And those creatures know peace,
As man gives them the freedom he ought.

5. And we have to ask WHY?
Creatures suffer and die,
As science proceeds in its quests.
Let there be more protection,
Against vivisection,
And end all the animal tests.

6. For the whales in the seas,
Or the apes in the trees,
Or all creatures in lands every where.
Let them stay wild and free,
For our children to see,
For their future is put in our care.

7. Extinct is forever,
So it’s now or never,
Protect what is wild, let it live!
All over the earth,
Let men prove his worth,
And learn not to take but to give.

8. Be loving and giving,
To all creatures living,
United, remain to the end.
Let us all work and pray,
For that wonderful day,
All species know man as their friend.

Message From Miten
Hi Friends,
Like you, I have been trying to find some way to make sense of the tragedy in Tibet. By the time you read this, hopefully, things will have changed for the better. But how to find the ‘good’ in such a catastrophe...? This has been my koan since the news broke. How do we find a ‘yes’ to a situation which seems so unjust and unfair? I find myself angry and frustrated – but at the same time knowing that if there exists a ‘no’ in any given situation, there must also be a ‘yes’ hidden in there somewhere.
Every shadow is a result of light.

I once heard His Holiness say that it was a sense of compassion that helped him sustain his peace of mind through the original invasion – and the key to his peace of mind was the understanding that we are all one human family.

Still, something inside me wanted to take the politicians and shake them and scream STOP ALL THIS MADNESS - NOW!!! Even though in my heart I knew it to be a futile reaction, the emotion itself felt very primal and cried out for a voice. I woke with this feeling a few nights ago and lay, looking for that ‘Yes’.

We all have an intellectual understanding of the concept of duality – we see it clearly reflected every day, not only in the Chinese invasion, but in all minute personal conflicts, no matter how trivial. The challenge is, how to consciously live a life of acceptance and understanding, without compromising our own truth. I began to see there may be a blessing after all. If I could use the Chinese invasion of Tibet as a reminder, a wake up call, to be more aware and more caring of those around me – to fully tune in to compassion and the understanding that we are all brothers and sisters, that we are all doing our best in life, no matter how unjust things may seem on the surface. Maybe then I could take some good out of the sad events in Tibet.

I asked myself if I was truly living in ‘Oneness’ with my friends and family, and the people around me.

I asked myself if I had any unfinished business anywhere. Did I have any issues hanging over, that still needed to be resolved? Was I holding anything back? Was I sharing myself totally, and authentically, and consciously...?

After pondering this, I eventually brought the question back to myself – I looked at any inner conflict I may be harbouring. Am I being honest with myself..? Am I being truthful? Am I hiding..?

And sure enough, this meditation eventually brought me ‘home’ - as I lay in the darkness, breathing into Oneness, I felt the gratitude and benediction pour through me – the pure thankfulness for the gift of Life itself. It is a bitter pill, true, at the expense of an innocent people, but what to do? - the challenge is to use every situation in life – even tragedy (especially tragedy) - to find ‘goodness’, rather than simply complain. If we don’t do this as we pass through life, we are doomed to slumber

These times are hard, the lessons are hard. And as our planet continues to deteriorate beneath our feet, there will be more lessons coming – as we all know. We can rise to the challenge...what other choices do we have?

So, yes, pray, sign petitions, attend vigils, take part in demonstrations – we all do whatever we can – but deep down, the thing that is going to help the Tibetan people most - and humanity at large – is if we, as individuals, take the responsibility to reach out with compassion and forgiveness to all those around us, with open arms and open hearts.

It all begins at home.

Light a candle for His Holiness and his people tonight...and say a prayer for the human race.

With love, Miten

p.s. Deva suggested sharing this passage from Osho on Atisha's Heart Meditation with you.

Transformation: Atisha's Heart Meditation
"When you breathe in, breathe in all the misery and suffering of all the beings of the world -- past, present and future. And when you breathe out, breathe out all the joy that you have, all the blissfulness that you have, all the benediction that you have. Breathe out, pour yourself into existence. This is the method of compassion: drink in all the suffering and pour out all the blessings.

"And you will be surprised if you do it. The moment you take all the sufferings of the world inside you, they are no longer sufferings. The heart immediately transforms the energy. The heart is a transforming force: drink in misery, and it is transformed into blissfulness... then pour it out.

"Once you have learned that your heart can do this magic, this miracle, you would like to do it again and again. Try it. It is one of the most practical methods -- simple, and it brings immediate results. Do it today, and see."

"A Poem Dedicated To Peace"

2008-04-19T13:15:00.001+01:00

* * * * * * * * *

By Saikat Mondal

(From his book: “Dialogues With My Self” - with kind permission.)

* * * * * * * * *

Peace, thou God’s beloved Angel

When on Earth, will you forever reign?

Behind every newborn’s smile

You put all hope of lasting Peace;

And again all your hopes are dashed

As they grow up, only to run after cash.

**

When will this hypocrisy end?

Only then, can Peace on Earth descend.

Peace & prosperity goes hand in hand

Never do they both in one place stand

Like bees roaming from flower to flower

Peace & prosperity roams, distributing harmony & power.

**

Searching for Peace all over the world

But it dwells in our hearts, innermost shrine;

Clear the dust and let it shine.

We substitute wars to justify peace

But how many bloody wars ever peace restore

Enough. Enough bloodshed, Please no more.

**

A day will soon to mankind dawn

The day when all forms of hostility is gone

No bitterness, no fights

No nationality and religions too.

In unison, we all will sing from our heart

Peace, Peace, Peace is here to stay at last.

I know it’s a dream

That may never come true

But we must dream on

What else is there to do.

O Lord, Let Peace be still

Let it not be a flickering flame in gusty wind.

A Spring Note From Miss Mellie Rainbow
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
My Beloveds, Angels sang to me this morning and awakened me from a lovely slumber. Today I pray for each beautiful sentient being throughout the Universe.I visualize us enveloped in a world of peace, with equanimity, and joy. Still, my heart cries at our need for violence, at our rationale for killing, at our thoughts of the inevitability of war, and economic collapse. Painfully I address the lack of opportunity, literacy and safety for those in the United States, and extend my thoughts globally. There is no reason or need for poverty of mind, body or spirit---other than the desire for a few to have MORE. More money, more land, more stocks, more fun in the Alps ---MORE. Though I am grateful for each of my blessings, today I too am asking for MORE. My more is in direct relation to a desire for equity for all people, the sustainability of our Earth, and the healing of all disease. My more is hope, joy, compassion, and understanding. My more is a world filled with conscience intention and love. My more is a request to ask that we honor our seniors, share them with our precious children and provide them with the best of ourselves. MORE. My more is a dream of humility, respect and diplomacy as we learn to interact with each other heart to heart. MORE. My more is for us to vision and create a world of cooperation where we allow others the dignity of returning to their homelands instead of creating political obstacles to peace. Yes today my heart sings a melody of more---more understanding, more compassion, more willingness to share the fruits of our labor. I believe our potential of greatness. I believe in a society that says right NOW---let’s redefine our commitment to each other. Please, let us remember the voice of the Great Spirit. Let us ask more of ourselves as we meet each other in Grace, and walk side by side, heart to heart. Let us have more listening, more kindness, more truth, more hope and more faith as we embrace the Divine in each of us. This Is My Request of MORE! Melony McGant

Shifting Paradigms: Divine Wisdom and Understanding

2008-04-16T17:03:00.002+01:00

Toward Divine Wisdom and Understanding

Shifting Paradigms

The wisdom and understanding of our own inner essence is like a beacon that invites us inward toward ever deeper connection with the Divine. Yet rather than look within, most people prefer to look outward for divine wisdom, thus maintaining a dependence upon a vast hierarchy that stretches between the individual and the Divine. In all our wanderings away from the Divine, humankind has obscured its most compelling features through a persistent belief in limitations arising out of the controlling mechanisms of this hierarchy.

The Divine dances outside of the confines of any hierarchical structures. It is complete within itself, and has a singular purpose of demonstrating the collective potential of all life within the universe. It is the archetype of perfection. It is the standard bearer of each soul's innate design and ultimate destiny. The essence of the Divine is so far beyond mental conception that humanity’s tendency is to resort to the limiting language of the hierarchical paradigm to define it.

The Hierarchical Paradigm: Searching for Connection and Wholeness

When people are unaware of their inner wisdom and wholeness, they tend to search for order and security outside themselves. Uncertain of their place within the hierarchical order of the world, they define themselves based upon their insecurities. Individuals thus become only pieces of their wholeness and like shards of glass from a beautiful vase, they bear little resemblance to their aggregate beauty. Within the hierarchy, many in high positions of power have taken advantage of our collective insecurities in attempting to guide the development of all humankind. They have obscured the direct connection between the individual and the Divine through a variety of means designed to intercede between our inner essence and our divine source.

Each individual can come to know themselves to be free of all forms of hierarchical control. This is not to imply that we should not trust others or join together in bonds of friendship and community. It is simply a reminder that relative truth is constantly shifting in the hands of those who desire to control. And even when the motive for their controlling behaviors may be of good will, it is still a form of control. When the revealers of "truth" within the hierarchy withhold and suppress information, they are usually positioning themselves to acquire and maintain power rather than to disseminate empowerment to all.

The desire for connection and wholeness is a fuel that drives us to seek out and explore the hierarchical paradigm. This inner longing provides us with the motivation to seek help and guidance from a specific group within the hierarchy, and in so doing, cultivate a sense of belonging and connection. Furthermore, the hierarchical paradigm is a stage whereby we develop a sense of connection to some grand, encompassing vision. This is why the hierarchy nurtures prophets who point toward a greater vision.

Spiritual leaders are able to peer deeply beneath the surface reality of life and experience how intricately connected every life form is, and how the composite of all life is intelligent far beyond measure. These visionary leaders can thus interpret reality through their personal abilities to perceive and express life's dimensional depth and limitless intelligence. Yet no one is able to articulate life's full dimensional depth and breadth with the tools of language. They can only, at best, describe their interpretation or their impressions.

In actuality, all of us are able to peer beneath the surface reality of life and perceive a unique vision of the universe. We require only time and intention to develop our own interpretations. And this is precisely what many great spiritual leaders have taught. Life's deeper essence is not an absolute to be experienced by the chosen few, but an evolving, dynamic intelligence that wears as many faces as there are life forms. No group or people has the exclusive portal into the universe by which the Divine expresses itself in all its majesty. The portal is open and available to all, because the Divine is within all things.

Those recognized as great prophets each produced a vision of the universe beyond what was currently defined by the hierarchy. Because their interpretations were articulated with authority and depth of insight, they became a target of debate among various groups in the hierarchy. This debate then created a polarity of belief. A sympathetic constituency emerged to defend and embellish their leader's interpretation, while established groups held it in contempt of previously held beliefs. Invariably, the leader's vision became confined and shaped into dogma by followers who desired to create a new religion or sect. Thus, this infusion of fresh insight quietly receded into the hands of the hierarchy, where its deeper meaning was obscured by the very fact that it was incorporated into a rigid structure that both protected and promoted it.

The Transformation Paradigm: Inner Wisdom and Understanding

A new paradigm is emerging that promotes a clear connection of individual consciousness to the compelling features of the Divine without the intervention of a hierarchy. This is when the fables and myths of history step into the light and become known as they were originally intended. This is the time when language will be transformed into a new form of communication that breaks down all barriers of control. Personal transformation, through the awakening of inner wisdom and understanding, is the pathway into wholeness.

The transformation paradigm is initiated simply by the recognition that rather than the dependency-inducing ways of the hierarchical paradigm, there are accelerated, independent pathways that bypass the hierarchy and lead to self-mastery. These new pathways lead to the divine wisdom and understanding that is present within all of us. This wisdom can be accessed through the practice of three principles of transformation: seeing the Divine in all, nurturance of life, and gratitude. The application of these life principles disengages individuals from the controlling elements of the hierarchy, thus initiating the transformation experience.

As there are relative truths, there are relative freedoms. As individuals evolve through the hierarchical process, an ever-increasing sense of freedom is gained, yet external forces continue to exert control through limiting language and confining belief systems. These controlling influences lead to continued reliance upon the hierarchy as it unceasingly attempts to impose a sense of inequality between us. The underlying equation of the hierarchical paradigm is: individual + hierarchy = God connection. In the case of personal transformation it is: individual + inner wisdom and understanding = divine equality with all.

The Synthesis Paradigm: Integration

For those who feel called, the time has come to integrate the dominant paradigm of the hierarchy with the liberating transformation paradigm. This integration occurs naturally once we have fully explored the two paradigms and develop a synthesis paradigm whereby transformation is attained by searching for connection and wholeness through our own inner wisdom and understanding. It is this combination of release from dependency on the hierarchy and transformation from within that initiates the synthesis paradigm.

Once we take responsibility for our own transformation and integration, it does not mean that the hierarchy is to be shunned or avoided. The hierarchy is quite benign as a manipulative force and merely represents one important stage in the journey toward wholeness. What is being set in motion now is the initial preparation for these paradigm shifts. More specifically, these paradigms will be simultaneously played out over the coming years. As always, it will be the choice of each one of us as to which paradigm we embrace in our journey.

All of the highest imaginings of humanity are yet unaware of our deepest foundation. We have sought the upper reaches of the building, yet remain unaware of the foundation's design. It is here, at the very core of existence that the Divine is bursting forth with its creative energy while simultaneously reintegrating with its invitation to wholeness. It is here that equality is realized, not in the lofty places of relative truth lodged in the hierarchy, but rather in the deepest part of the foundational plan of life's original source and ultimate destiny. The origin and destiny of existence is the tone of equality in life. Listen for this tone—this frequency of vibration—and follow it back into the very foundation from whence all things arise and return.

Consider these words as symbols only. Feel the truth that stands behind these words, and tap into this empowering energy force that reaches out for you. Know it as a tone or vibration—a resonance that waits for you around every corner in which your life will turn. It is a beacon of the Divine gathering itself into the form of language in order to usher you to a place from which you can experience the formless tone of equality—the bypass of limitation. It is the primal language of our divine source that bestows to you the freedom to generate your own deepest beauty in the expression of your highest truth.

STAY FOCUSED ON THE LIGHT

2008-04-16T16:56:00.004+01:00

by Patricia Diane Cota-Robles

http://eraofpeace.org

During this auspicious time, the Beings of Light are consistently imploring us to stay focused on the Light. Even in the face of seeming adversity, it is vital that we use our thoughts, words, feelings and actions to empower what we want to manifest in our lives and in the world. If we focus the power of our attention on our fears and the negativity that is being pushed to the surface to be healed and transmuted into Light, we will empower and sustain the very things we are trying to eliminate on this planet.

Know that with every thought, word, feeling and action you are either adding to the Light of the world or the shadows. Be cognizant of this Truth, and monitor the focus of your attention moment by moment.

In order to inspire you to keep on keeping on, I would like to share with you once again how critical mass affects our ability to change our lives.

REACHING CRITICAL MASS

There is a phenomenon that often causes Humanity to feel frustrated and powerless when it comes to changing our lives. That phenomenon is known as reaching critical mass or, in pop-culture lingo, the tipping point.

When we awaken, we begin to understand the power of our thoughts and feelings. We realize the importance of monitoring the focus of our attention and of controlling our behavior patterns. As a result of our new insight, we put forth the effort to think positively. We strive to hold our thoughts and feelings on what we want to manifest in our lives, instead of on our fears and the things we do not want in our lives. We envision Heaven on Earth, and we breathe life into our thoughtforms with positive affirmations, meditations, decrees, buoyant joy and heartfelt enthusiasm.

But often, after what seems like a valiant effort, we continue to experience many of the same old problems. This unfortunate situation causes us to become discouraged and to lose faith in our ability to change our lives. At that point, we feel like our efforts are futile. That is when we decide to give up, and we stop trying to make our lives better.

When we let go of our visions and our hope, we regress into our old negative thinking patterns. We start dwelling on our fears, problems and challenges instead of our goals, hopes and dreams. As a result of this tragic relapse, things get worse in our lives and our situations appear even more hopeless.

Once we understand the phenomenon of reaching critical mass, it will give us the courage to persevere until our goals are accomplished. We will have the courage to stay focused on the Light, even in the face of apparent failure, which is ALWAYS an illusion.

Everything is comprised of energy, vibration and consciousness. When we explore a minuscule fraction of the vast science of quantum physics, we learn that when something reaches critical mass, there is an UNSTOPPABLE SHIFT that takes place. For instance, when an electron is increasing in vibration, the moment it reaches a critical mass of the higher vibration, the entire electron ascends into the new frequency. The instant the electron reaches critical mass, nothing can prevent this unstoppable shift.

Critical mass is very complex and unique to every situation, but the Company of Heaven has said that for simplicity, we can think of reaching critical mass as 51 percent of the energy, vibration and consciousness of whatever it is we are talking about. For instance, when 51 percent of an electron is vibrating at the higher frequency, the remaining 49 percent is instantly absorbed into the new vibration.

Okay, so how does this facet of quantum physics affect our ability to take charge of our own lives?

As we strive to improve our lives, the same laws of quantum physics apply. These are Universal Laws to which we are ALL subject. When empowering a vision or thoughtform, the moment a critical mass of energy, vibration and consciousness is reached, in alignment with our vision, nothing can stop it from manifesting. The problem is that we never know just when we are going to reach that magical moment of critical mass.

There are often no outer-world signs to indicate that we are on the brink of reaching critical mass. In fact, many times it looks like we are very far away from that instant of transformation. The reason for this is that our I AM Presence is giving us the opportunity to transmute the blocks and resistance to our vision that have surfaced to be cleared out of the way. When this happens, we usually feel a little overwhelmed. We erroneously conclude that our efforts must be failing, and we just give up.

The Beings of Light have said that many times we have been a breath away from reaching a critical mass of our goal. Since we did not realize that, we got discouraged and stopped working toward our life-transforming changes. Consequently, our hopes and dreams were never fulfilled.

Let’s not allow that to happen this time. This is a year of new beginnings, and we have never had the magnitude of assistance from On High that we are receiving in 2008.

So, in very practical terms, critical mass means that when we are striving to create prosperity in our lives, the moment our thoughts, words, actions and feelings are vibrating with a critical mass of prosperity consciousness instead of poverty consciousness, our life circumstances will shift, and we will experience prosperity. The moment a critical mass of our energy is aligned with self-esteem and love, we will magnetize positive relationships into our lives. The moment a critical mass of our energy is aligned with peace, harmony and balance, we will manifest those Divine Qualities tangibly in our life experiences.

The key to our success is that we must keep on keeping on even in the face of adversity. It is vital for us to understand that the Light of God is infinitely more powerful than any fragmented human miscreation we may have inadvertently created. Poverty has no power over the Abundance of God. Our Divine Potential is infinitely more powerful than disease, failure, dysfunctional relationships, hatred, greed, corruption, war or any of the other humanly-created maladies appearing on the screen of Life.

As long as we stay focused on the Light and consecrate our energy to empower only the positive experiences we want to create in our lives and in the world, we will manifest our visions and dreams faster than we can possibly imagine.

Whatever you do, do not give up!

This information is being given to us by the Beings of Light in the Realms of Illumined Truth during this critical moment on Earth to help us remember that if we do not like what is happening in our lives, we have the option to do something about it. This is true for each of us individually, and it is true for all of us collectively as a global family.

We do not have to believe in the various Universal Laws in order to exist on Earth, but since we are ALL subject to them, it is just common sense for us to try to accept them. We do not have to believe that every single thought, word, action and feeling we have will go out and affect the world and then return to us to affect our personal lives, but this is happening scientifically, to the letter, in spite of any disbelief we may have.

It is important that we put things back into perspective and accept responsibility for turning our lives around. When we deliberately focus on transforming our lives and cocreating Heaven on Earth, our efforts are empowered by the unfathomable Light of our I AM Presence. Then, if we invoke the assistance of the entire Company of Heaven to intercede on our behalf, our success is assured.

Greetings!
We are introducing ourselves as a few individuals that have been inspired to form a spiritual, healing, teaching & devotional community & family.
We call our Vision & Work the “One Earth Vision And Mission”.
We are at the very early stages of our efforts to form this community. Much of the guidance and inspiration we receive comes with linking our consciousness with higher beings & guides, calling us to unconditional love, selfless service and recognising the sacredness of all life! We acknowledge many aspects of divinity and enlightened teachers, including the goddess and women’s role in spirituality.
Our initial work is to draw together committed individuals, - pooling all our visions, talents & resources together, - and to open a rural centre to apply ourselves to the inner and outer work. To offer healing, teaching & guidance, freely to those in need!
Much of our work will be in utilising the creative arts and therapies to work on individual karma, past lives and emotional conflicts – to release pain, & bitterness! By learning and teaching the spiritual karmic laws of cause and effect, also to possibly discover some of the reasons we drew that to ourselves, and so to bring insight, understanding, forgiveness, “letting go”, and compassionate love for those who have hurt us! Then we can begin to be a spiritual light & peaceful influence transmuting negativity into a positive beacon shining into the darkness and chaos coming at this changing of the ages!
This Mission, being inspired by the higher spheres, seeks to unite, and work with both the sacred and secular worlds – to bring forth a Devotional Family and Community, serving the highest ideal and purpose: universal emancipation, awakening humanity to liberation and freedom for all!
Further details can be obtained, concerning our Work & Vision. (Your full postal name & address will be appreciated to send you our main Mission Literature.)
Love & Blessings from Mandel and Carol.

FINDING THE PATH TO PEACE, CHANNELLING BY MANDEL RHEEMS

2008-03-29T14:30:00.002Z

"FINDING THE PATH OF INNER PEACE".
BY GUIDE: "SANANDA".
(This talk was channelled by Mandel Rheems, on: 03/03/2006).

Blessings! Deep within the souls of ALL BEINGS there is an understanding, knowledge & a transcendent wisdom.
Life does not need to be a struggle! Yes - conflicts & discord, disharmony, does rise up & manifest occasionally in ones life & path, but this is a natural outworking of the Universal karmic Laws.
That, which we have sown in past lives, eventually returns to us in full cycles & measure!
So often we misunderstand the negative aspects of life's experiences - & meet seeming unforgiveness, conflict & personal strife in equally negativity & unforgiveness! Feeling we are facing an uphill struggle to stay balanced & forgiving, harmonious & loving in response to others personal attacks on us!
Stay back, relax, go within, to touch that energy & power of stillness & detachment. Don't get caught up in others negative attitudes, thoughts & feelings!
It is a spiritual discipline not to take things too seriously or personally!
We ALL can enter the peace inside - & essentially the stillness of the souls / hearts temple, where the inner transmuting flame is found & experienced to the full!
This eternal flame that is available for ALL to reach, allows us to transmute ALL MANKIND'S selfish & instinctive energies & powers. When invoked or activated, can definitely transmute & purify the heart /mind, & all the negative thoughts of those who are spiritually asleep & bound to the lower planes of consciousness, through past deeds of malevolence & selfishness!
So let us clarify so far: No matter what the conflicts, discord or negative karma we are confronted with on life's journey - there are the definite ways & spiritual methods to deal with the lack of love & peace!
Search deep within the hearts / souls inner temple - & obtain to clarity of thought, with detachment & expressing unconditional love for ALL - & forgiveness for ALL. Search no longer for the respite & inner peace!
Just allow your soul to blossom by being true, bringing peace, harmony & love / light to ALL!
Inner peace is a true, everlasting renewal of our Divine Destiny. Pray, begin to manifest this inner peace by connecting to this Eternal Divine power that lies deep within ALL BEINGS! Blessings, SANANDA.

THE WATERS OF SPIRIT, CHANNELLING BY MANDEL RHEEMS

2008-03-29T14:27:00.001Z

Subject: "THE WATERS OF SPIRIT".
Guide: SANANDA
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS on: 02/09/2005.)
ABUNDANCE
When we awaken in spirit to realise our true & eternal nature - the waters of spirit flow through our being as a benevolent force.
When we finally let go of our mortal mind & nature - we begin to live in a more devotional & loving way.
When we open our hearts & consciousness to Universal Abundance, we begin to realise that supply is infinite - in both the material & spiritual sense.
It is just to make that connection with Inner Source, & the benign nature of Love Divine that lies within us.

THE ETERNAL SUPPLY AND RETURN
Peace, harmony & good will, eventually flowers within as we begin to accept our Universal Abundant Life.
We speak of Wisdom & the Powers of Universal benevolence - the Universal supply that comes to us. In our invocations & prayers also we open to the practice of serving others in unconditional Love, sincerity & self-less service.

DIVINE GRACE
In the many lives we experience & evolve through, at one time or another we will experience the works of Divine grace in material or spiritual manifestation.
Though it is important & essential, the Universal Law works in many subtle ways. We do realise that Divine Grace is a subtle working out of these Laws.
This mysterious process needs essential clarification.

THE EVOLVING SOUL AND DIVINE INTERVENTION.
When a soul awakens to the awareness of it's full material incarnation - certain Divine Powers begin to become active, which sometimes manifests as Divine Intervention.
Nothing happens - either on the material planes or within the Spiritual Dimensions - without the Karmic Laws becoming active.
As the individual soul awakens, there is a deeper response to the soul on the inner planes - if it is a call for help, for strength, protection or clarity & forgiveness.
The Divine responds to the state of the individual soul - it's needs, requirements & where the personal karma is ripe & requires Divine Intervention.
We all receive to the level of our soul's growth & karmic state of being.

So many sensitive individuals, who are on the spiritual path, so often pass through emotional & spiritual fragmentation, loss & a deep loneliness - or aloneness! The work of the Mission & Guides of the Mission is to offer an environment of devotion & love - within the confines & expansion of Divine Love & acceptance! - In fact, a healing & sensitive environment for us to go through the essential changes & growth of the inner & outer being!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
3. ADVANCING ON THE PATH OF SELF-AWARENESS:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
We hope to create, in these groups, a spirit of sharing with each other the pains & joys of love, sensitivity & vulnerability that we encounter, - once choosing a spiritual path of self development & inner growth!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
4. USING THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
In this weekly group, we hope to offer the opportunity to develop, in all that are present, the means to develop & explore the avenue to express one's individual spiritual gifts - & finer qualities!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
5. COMMITMENT NEEDED:
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
All forms of work & spiritual development need a high degree of commitment - & a willingness to be involved on a regular basis. - Not only regarding these Sunday meetings, but also, where possible, TO MEET MORE REGULARLY EACH WEEK!
THE WORK FOR THE MISSION, & OUR LONG TERM AIMS, IS EVENTUALLY TO BECOME SPIRITUAL VEHICLES & VESSELS TO SPREAD THE LIGHT, KNOWLEDGE & UNCONDITIONAL LOVE INTO THE WORLD!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Bless you, Mandel Rheems & Carol.

SHORT POEMS BY MANDEL RHEEMS

2008-03-29T14:13:00.002Z

Subject: "INNER PART".
Guide: MANDEL
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS on: /? /2005)

Sunshine bathes my wasteful aching soul.
My dilemma is: Who is she?
A reflection of my search for the gold of Calvary

It seems she has found my emptiness undaunted -
Still she breathes, still she blossoms,
Still she unfolds my darkest secrets.

Opening to her my alter - self
Carol I bless you for sharing this heart
That we shall ne'er become apart.

* * * * *

Subject: "A SPIDER'S DILEMMA".
Guide: BLAKE
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS on: /? /2005)

Have you ever wondered how spiders think about life's dilemmas?
Do they worry - question, fret? Spiders have power.

Webs so gently made - a matrix of the Mother's womb.
Can we blame them, to catch the unaware in their sacred lair?

Their way is neither good nor ill - it just is!
I dare not touch gentle spider's lair,
Lest I too become a holy victim of this fate.

* * * * *

Subject: "SHE"
Guide: MANDEL.

She was there in the park, seated on the grass. It was a strange attraction, a strange relationship.

The Shiva within me felt the urge to melt & merge with her, - such temptation. My senses awoke! Just to lie with her,
- even for a short time, would be sublime pleasure.

My blood is heated. I urge for her, - female inside of me!

* * * * *
AWAKEN, O wandering soul.
Be not caught up or taken by earthly pleasure. The flesh consumed can never be satisfied, until in the end - it is ruined.

* * * * *

Subject: "THE DAYS ARE DAWNING".
Guide: MANDEL
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS on: /? /2005)

It is the awakening of humanity - the human soul to the awareness of its true destiny. It is to abide in peace, - in the peace in all its depth & purpose.
May the pain be taken away from my heart.
Dissolve times hand. Be at one. - rest in eternal peace.
I give what I can to this wonderful vision. Let us hold hands in unity of purpose!

* * * * *
Subject: "UNITE".
Guide: Mandel
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS on: /? /2005)

As we unite as one, with Chatterton & the Solar Lords / Solar lodge
A new opening has begun, & we awaken to this great ascension.
Mother earth, we rise to thee.
True holiness is that which rises within, - inner growth & soul expansion.
It cannot be created outwardly, or inwardly,
Through any action, or thought, word or deed.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

START ANEW

2008-03-29T14:12:00.001Z

What do we leave behind when we take the road to freedom?
We leave behind that which we let go of!

Start anew; Relax, enjoy the inner freedom -
Of letting go of unnecessary baggage!

Trust in the Mission. Trust in the subtle way of it’s growth & expansion!
Trust in our fellow companions & pilgrims on the path of devotion.

Search for truth, understanding & wisdom by having the courage
to step into a deeper arena, & into all states of being.

Having the inner vision, with the focus & penetration
Of the clear light of pure devotion, & seeking the truth, -

May we enter the Inner states of being, With clear vision & insight, -
blessing all with the benevolent powers & wisdom of the Buddha / Christ.

Peace, Mandel. (Mandel Rheems 19/1/06 & 10/5/06).

TRUE NATURE OF FORGIVENESS

2008-03-29T14:10:00.001Z

"THE TRUE NATURE OF FORGIVENESS - & THE LIBERATING FORCE OF LOVE & 'LETTING GO.'"

Blessings, acceptance, free will, mercy & forgiveness - & the 'letting go' of past traumas, emotional conflicts & self deprecation, are often the means, the stimulus & the potential, - if approached with wisdom & a true spirit of forgiveness & good will, - for personal growth & spiritual evolution.
If we can all truly live each moment, to the full - & treat in equality & sacredness all life & beings - we will be beginning to live in the enlightened state! The only thing we need to realise is the nature & practise of selfless service & unconditional love!
True spirituality is, in its essence, simply serving all others - & the Divine in others. Forgiveness is a spiritual discipline within the positive affirmation of our Divine nature within!
True wisdom on the path, means 'letting go' of all negativity: negative feelings & fears - & the misunderstandings & beliefs that humanity is superior to other life forms - other beings in the universe! All knowledge, all wisdom & all understanding comes through direct inspiration, & the communion between life, death & freedom!
May we be eternally grateful in the humility & true awe of the fullness, bounty & beauty of all creation!
Forgiveness is a discipline & spiritual practise that we need to learn to develop within our own natures. The Mission One Earth is a true avenue of selfless service, Divine forgiveness, in the wellsprings of joy, love & freedom! - A true pathway of surrender to our ultimate destiny - INTO THE ABSOLUTE & UNCONDITIONAL OCEAN OF LOVE & PEACE!
Bless you,
BABAJI / MANDEL

SELF HEALING & PLANETARY HEALING

2008-03-29T14:08:00.000Z

SELF-HEALING AND PLANETARY HEALING.
What does the statement Self-Healing mean or indicate, what is the purpose of self-healing. I.e. how does it take place - what is the method or power used in this process?
COMPLETE HEALING.
To begin we need to understand that in our context, the word healing is that of finding harmony, integration and unity within our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of our total being!
This harmony is found and achieved through the application of the Spiritual Universal Power and energies of our total being.
It is not breathtaking, that to achieve total inner healing we only need convert or convince the mind of the individual! To apply mental power or force to influence / convert the subconscious mind to the opening or release of mental, emotional blocks, fears, aggression and self-doubt and so help to overcome and reclaim the positive power in the individual, to overcome any physical, emotional or mental blocks in the inner being.
IT IS NOT FAITH HEALING.
Spiritual Inner Healing takes place on the deepest levels of being; the process of healing and integration takes place from the deepest spiritual levels. The catalyst is the Inner Attunement, or uniting of the individual with the spiritual self, the eternal nature, the Divine within.
THE SLEEPING SOUL.
The spiritual nature of the self is often lying dormant, and is asleep in many; and so often needs a catalyst to become activated! The emotions are often the means to release the spirit within, so often through music, a loving relationship, a great work of art, or mental / emotional inspiration can awaken the spirit within, to begin the process of inner spiritual healing.
PLANETARY HEALING.
Planetary healing is the process of awakening the spiritual nature and power of insight into the outer world, awakening the power worldwide! It is bringing forward the process of planetary karmic cleaning and transformation that is needed to heal the world of darkness and despair.
It is the awakening in the human psyche world wide, to the consciousness of change, growth and transformation. To clear the earth of darkness, fear, war and hatred in the astral and mental levels of darkness - and spiritual sickness worldwide. To bring joy, peace, harmony and spiritual light to all on earth. To raise the vibrations of the earth plane.
THE WORK OF THE HIGHER POWERS.
The higher spiritual forces are continuously sending forth the healing power and light, into the earthly aura, and seeking to influence mankind to the desire, to work in harmony, peace, love and light with each other, and with other life forms from on earth.
TRUE HEALING.
It is in the integration and acceptance of the unity of mankind with the mother earth to take responsibility of bringing love and harmony to our earthly home.
For the Earth is a spiritual body, being alike to our own higher nature.
So true healing is the awakening to the Divine nature within, to the knowledge and practice of love and compassion.

"THE ZEN PATH" by MASTER Q.
(Channelled by Mandel Rheems, on 11/8/05).

Some seek to understand - some seek to awaken to a transcendent reality - the inner peace, the Christ - the Buddha, the God within.

Who is to tell - what is the way, how can one become enlightened - without pain - fear or loss?

Is knowledge essential to understand the awakening of the individual being to Zen satori?

The logical mind is often the avenue to a great misunderstanding of the nature of existence, & the transcendent reality.

Allow each sacred moment to unfold naturally, without a struggle!
Be it God within or - the Original Face of the Buddhist path.
Concepts - through the dual nature of the mortal / mundane mind can only lead to further mental entanglement.

ZEN REALITY IS SIMPLE.

ENLIGHTENMENT IS HERE & NOW.
IN NO MIND - NON-BEING - AND THIS STATE OF "LETTING GO".

BE THAT WHICH IS THE ENLIGHTENED AWARENESS, - WITHOUT STRUGGLE! ZEN WILL HELP.

Blessings, - MASTER Q

MANDEL RHEEMS in: 2005)

Across the starlight skies, lies a home - So vast that the heart alone could not fathom the depths - the union wavers not in respite.
For the Solar Lord & I. No motion - only the presence. Loving robes of the waves of peace profound is known.
Given as a gift to the beloved humanity in the present human fold.

Subject: "THE COMING CHRIST".

In the teachings & vision of the "One earth Mission" the return of the Christ spirit will awaken in many - being the power & love of the risen Christ,

Subject: "I AM".
Guide: FAN CHU
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS on: 20/09/2005)

Quietness fills the emptiness of I AM.
Vacuum loving feelings. I have no thought or concept of this peace I feel.
Seconds elongate, extend forever, in the peace of non-being.
So many sounds. So many beings in creation cling to self.
All are my teachers. All are my guides.
All is the way to unfold into this butterfly - I AM released!

* * * * *
Subject: "IN REMEMBRANCE OF MY LORD".
Guide: EMMA
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS in:2005)

I give all sacred thanks for this special morning, O my Lord.
I give sacred thanks for the wonder released, as my heart in joy's song, sings the highest to thy reverence.
Holy is the world. Holy is the silent breath. Holy is the silent OM.
May my footsteps leave a gentle mark across the ocean, Mother's sands.
I AM gives reverence to all life, all that points the way
to the moonlight's stance.

Subject: "GAIA'S CALL TRANSFIXES".
Guide: AMMA
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS in:2005)

Opening this doorway - hark, there is no destination to follow.
No path to unravel, for good or ill. I cannot choose.

Sometimes the night's dreams, even those set my aching soul free,
- to feel alive in me.

The Earth is no prisoner. No fear, no bondage.
She casts her nets far & wide.

The nectar of Gaia attracts my mode of silent thought.
O what attraction - she gains my heart. I cannot question her wise quest.

Subject: "BLESSED BE, AS WE DEPART.".
Guide: TANIA
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS in:2005)

Across the frozen wastes of time, lies my silent mortal ark of time,
Across my monk's abode, I listen to her call.
It is an echo of her wisdom that beckons me home.
Its frosted breath leaves a blue hue around this my mortal abode.
Love is worth all that slumbers within the mortal coil.
Spirit - Mother all the same in this vision's abode.
No quest but just to be in this eternal rest.

Subject: "HARK TO AN ANGEL".
Guide: P.SHELLEY
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS in: 2005)

Angels speak - how can I hear? Can I listen to these long lost
gentle requests - for parity?
Do the Heavenly Host know my heart's aching flame?
Will they quench the foes of my life's dilemma?

Still I AM truly happy at rest - & of course
my knowing heart has found this peace of the sacred almighty quest.
Even friends bless me with their angry postponements of real & lasting virtues.

(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS on: ? /? 05 /2005)

ONE DAY we will live in peace & contentment.
ONE DAY there will be no enemy to forgive.
ONE DAY man will lay down his weapons - for the good of all.
ONE DAY the sacredness of all life will be recognised worldwide.
ONE DAY we will recognise our fragility & total dependence on the Divine.
ONE DAY man & God will become as One.
ONE DAY the Goddess with raise her head, when women will be sanctified.
ONE DAY our prayers for peace & reconciliation will be heard.
ONE DAY we will be free from want & need to fulfil the self alone.
ONE DAY WE WILL ALL BECOME AWARE THAT WE ARE ALL ONE FAMILY!

Subject: "THE WONDER OF LIFE".

(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS on: 06/05/2005)

THE WONDER OF LIFE IS THAT IT SURVIVES AT ALL!
Being aware means we move into a world of personal responsibility.
To be a spiritual warrior does not mean we need to take up arms.
So many are struggling to survive in abject poverty & disillusionment.
While we visit our latest artistic restaurant & discuss life's problems - where in clarity & compassion - ideas are escape!

Live in the moment - be full of potential.
Be benevolent - naturally. Struggle not with your path.
Open the heart - let thy compassion ripen!
Be detached, but involved. The universe will heal itself.
So many seek for fulfilment at the cost of sanity.
Let us teach humility. Let us show compassion.
Let giving & receiving be one. Befriend the hearts of the good & the ill, alike.

Be patient with life & with those who slumber in mortality.
Mankind works in anarchy if left alone.
God works in order, the laws: grace & wisdom.
Unite God's Wisdom with human endeavour, & recognise one's own Divinity.
Civilisation & technology has raped the Earth - for selfish purposes - live.
To become the greatest, one must chose the lesser to lead - but not lead.
Become a silent voice of sanity.

Become a gentle wind to cool life's passions.
Let the sacred stream of life gently wash away life's painful memories.
Time is no barrier for true realisation of the inner perfection.
To be complacent is like a blind man falling into a pit.
Life should joyously be lived to the full.
Load not yourself with life's problems - Allow the world to heal itself.

The heart is not what it appears to be.
A broken heart allows for one to cross the abyss.
Each day give thanks for life's eternal blessings.
Instincts survive for a time - in the end sanity prospers.
Mental illness is just a label.
Normality is a good bank balance.
The cost of normality is the prison called: The Mind.

Focus on wisdom - then there is no-where to run.
Teach the positive, let the negative go. Enjoy life - no one's to blame!
Forgive all the hurt, the pain; learn through rejection.
Let the world go by. Observe but always keep the heart open to all.
BE AT PEACE.

From: MANDEL
(Channelled by MANDEL RHEEMS on: 25/08/05.)

O when will the human form cease from the tortured way - continuing to inflict his will on the brutality to his fellow beings - the soul of nature's beings?
Can we not see? Can we not feel? Can we not understand?
It is a spiritual curse - where factories of slaughter, animal souls are inflicted upon with useless pain & slaughter.
My heart feels the deep pain that suffering is ever present that we inflict upon our Brothers & Sisters.
It must change, evolve. Set them free. Take the pain away from my heart, beloved humanity, grow up, & offer your potential hearts of sacred love, instead.

Come to my heart, I hold you in my arms.
I hold you close to my continual life's purpose.
O God, let compassion fill the hearts of all of humanity, for the lost & weary ones.
Africa, our full hearts will bring the healing touch to your stricken hearts & beings.
I just want to go home to thee, O poverty-stricken ones.
You are my children - you are in my heart, my soul, my being
And I survive for you, all my family - in God I witness.

POSITIVE POEM

2008-03-29T13:49:00.001Z

(I'd like to share with you a poem I have seen in a Spiritualist Church magazine "The Oracle". This is by Maureen Alderton: -)

If we can think in a positive way
We will grow stronger day by day!
For positive thinking has a power so strong,
With this sort of thinking we can't go wrong.
For no matter what problems this life may bring -
God has the answer to everything!
And if we can think positively that he is there -
And then with him our worries share,
Then positive solutions we will find -
Once negative thoughts have cleared our mind!
So why not change as from today -
By starting to think in a positive way?
(End).

"Unconditional Love"

2008-03-20T21:04:00.006Z

20 Mar 2008

Dear Friends,

We are such amazing beings of potential. At our core center, we have a spark of life filled with infinite love. This love is pure, natural and unconditional. Like an endless reservoir, it flows without limit whenever we breathe into the moment and remember this love. We instantly radiate it into all of our experiences and create our lives with incomparable beauty, harmony, peace and joy. The wonder of this awareness is that when we recognize our own spark of divinity we behold this same essence in everyone around us.

Over eons of time and for countless reasons, we have forgotten the importance of being present in the moment and to stay connected with this limitless love. We have placed a symbolic wall around our hearts and blocked the light that seeks to flow as a boundless river of love. As we steadily continued to build this inner defense, so too have we separated ourselves from one another in the outer world of form. When the light eventually became very dim, we let fear and doubt become our motivating intent and as a result, we now find ourselves in a world of seeming chaos, darkness, struggle and strain – the likes of which we have never known.

These outer conditions are merely calling to us to take down our self created barriers and to love once more without reservation or hesitation. We are beginning to realize we have a choice and can make a difference by allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and intimate both with ourselves and with each other. It is okay to accept that we are capable of loving unconditionally. We can also acknowledge that we are loveable and loved and that the walls we have built to protect us from potential hurt, shame, hate and all number of mental and emotional devices need no longer be a part of our world.

We take the first step by having unconditional compassion for our own journey. We may have built this fortification brick by brick with reasoning we thought justifiable at the time, yet now we are aware of our potential to embrace our love and no longer be afraid of it. By accepting ourselves without condition or judgment, we dissolve the walls that have kept this wondrous energy from flowing naturally. In turn, we share this unconditional compassion to those around us as we now understand how they have held back their love too. Compassion is the key that unlocks our collective potential to heal our world and restore the love that is at the heart of all creation.

When we know we have love in our heart, unconditional compassion becomes as natural as breathing.

Love, light and peace,

'THE HEALTH VALUE OF BACTERIOPHAGES' BY CHURCHILL FELLOW OF 2007, GRACE FILBY
"Would you like to read a scientific adventure story with a political twist?
My journey took me to the USA, Canada, Georgia and Poland –and back to England.
Here are the main characters: bacteria and bacteriophages - (phages, for short) ...."
PHAGES FOR HEALTH AND HEALING - A Winston Churchill Travelling Fellowship Award enabled me to do lots of research overseas all about the health value of bacteriophages. Yes, very few people have heard of this kind of treatment for bacterial infections such as MRSA. So I thought it was about time that something was done about it to let people know! If you are on the internet you can follow my travels, see all the pictures and read the official report on: www.amazingphage.info.
(CAROL SAYS, “As a nurse & carer, I have experienced the problems of ulcers, M.R.S.A, & other antibiotic-resistant diseases. It appears that phages, friendly bacteria, can do what the tablets no longer can. Well done Grace!” - If you are interested but do not use the internet, let us know, as I have some further information regarding Grace’s work, or we can put you in touch with Grace, who lives in Surrey, England. She also is on a spiritual path.)
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
THE WAYS OF PROMOTING OUR VISION - CAN YOU HELP?
To help support our Mission, there is much that can be done to help to take the heavy load of work from Carol and myself.
One way being is in the effort that others can do by the placing of our adverts in any appropriate place, or by contacting any national or international individuals, centres & groups, to inform them of our Vision, - also to inform friends & colleagues – or others that may show an interest to join us in the work.
Advertising is quite essential, & it is important to let the world know of our positive Vision for the future destiny of this planet.
Recently we have been very busy, sending out hundreds of adverts & information - & have made contact with so many individuals & groups on the internet & by postal communication – spreading the word & vision world wide.
THIS MISSION IS FOR YOU - & IT IS ABOUT THE DEDICATION TO SERVING GODDESS/GOD, BEFORE PERSONAL OR FAMILY INTERESTS – TO HELP BRING MORE PEACE TO THIS PLANET, - AS SO MANY ARE DOING, PLANETARY WIDE AT THIS TIME!
Now it is the time we need to work, diligently to help bring peace on Earth, - as we seriously approach this critical time for major planetary upheavals & changes.
The future of this planet –and all life on it – is in our own hands – so we pray we can eventually work together to bring forth a positive change of heart and mind & the elevation of the spirit of all!
There are so many other ways, we can offer devotional service, especially in the area of devotion & prayer, bringing positive thoughts & love to others, & the working to create & manifest WORLD PEACE CENTRES & COMMUNITIES – PLANETARY WIDE. Let your home be a centre of love peace & healing. – Re-dedicate your life to serving the Divine, first, in all things!
Please ponder & meditate a little, regarding what has been mentioned in this small article – further, maybe you could suggest some ways we can work together in the future. Please keep us informed on your feelings in this matter.
Blessings Mandel & Carol x x

“OUR JOURNEY OF LIFE”

“Each of us are on a journey; each of us are packed and ready to go
- Just be sure we have all the essentials with us before we set out upon that journey,
For it is long and arduous and often like seeds we can fall by the wayside.
We must help the fallen along the wayside and by helping them, we help ourselves.

We are given these things to test us and to show us that we are indeed immortal and do live forever. So, why then do we feel that by shutting ourselves away we will achieve what is there for us?
No. We can only succeed when we have the knowledge and this knowledge is gained - not given freely - it has to be earned and by the earning - we achieve.
So remember this and know that knowledge is always a key to unlocking wisdom....”

This inspiration was kindly donated by: MS. YVONNE WILLIAMS of South Wales.

“THE GIFT OF PEACE”

“It is there with its offering
Around every corner and every hidden avenue.
It comes both at times of great personal trials,
And times of warmth and love.

It brings much with it and asks for nothing
Only to be recognised and embraced.
It promises of new beginnings and breaking down barriers.
It encourages joy, harmony and hope for the future.

It sounds like a soft tendril of wind, or a baby’s gurgle
It permeates all gods living creatures
And guides them on they’re divine plan.
It seeks out solace and understanding.
Providing space for creativity.

It embraces all that is kind and good
It gives you choice when you feel trapped.
It smells like the fresh scent of an array of spring flowers.
It colours like a deep red rose.

It sings like the birds on a summers evening.
It breathes new life into all on this earth.
It creates positive opportunities.
It releases you from dependency and thus sets you free.

It does all this and more, simple yet profound.
You may have it, it asks nothing.
It is here to be welcomed into your life.”

Poetic inspiration from: MS. NINA FAIRLEY, From : Edinburgh, SCOTLAND. U.K.

“THE NEW MAN" (written on 9/29/1999) – By SAIKAT MONDAL
To be a Unique Individual is your very own birth right; It is also your God given Right to be so, hence whatever impediments and barriers stops or prevents you from reaching and blossoming into your total potential Individuality, should be swept aside - may it be religious dogmas the societal norms and conventions - or even wishes and desires of your parents & relatives. No one knows what is best for you except you and your deeper Self. And a New Man will burst forth and come into being, not bound by traditions and conventions, but listening to his own voice, his own consciousness; - An enlightened being, not prejudiced and contaminated by old traditions - a very authentic Human Being. Wherever there is Beauty, Knowledge, Individuality, he will always be at home.
The time is perfect and ripe for many such new men - and also much needed. He will evade and escape all previous forms of category and categorization i.e. the New Man. He will end oppression of Man by Man. The New man will be a warrior and the most truthful preserver Of Human Liberty, Equality and Freedom. For he has tasted the ecstatic joys of Freedom himself and wants mankind to be drunk with the same intensity of Joy. And all of earth will sing and dance in delight, life on earth will be an endless celebration of Joy and Creativity. Nature too will shed her mourning gown and dance in blissful ecstasy!
(Authors note: the writer means ‘man’ in the old sense of the word - which very much includes woman too!)

Poems in all shapes and sizes
Earth’s gift to our intellect
Earth’s music for us to detect,
Shades of blue, shades of black,
White weeping petals and the
Sweet purring of a cat.
She sings them all our Mother Earth,
Poems made of faint shades of truth
And tinged with gentle mirth.

“PEACE NEWS”:
"The human race is a single being
Created from one jewel
If one member is struck
All must feel the blow.
Only someone who cares for the pain of others
Can truly be called human.”
- (SAADI, c1200AD)
This and other such remembered poetry helped a 97 year old lady - and a few others, who were eventually rescued from an earthquake zone on 26/12/2003 in BAM – after being buried alive for 8 days!

EVERY GARDEN A HEALING GARDEN
(For the Kirkwood Hospice Garden)
‘Tis strange how we can often take them so much for granted
each Garden Of Mother Nature by our Creator planted,
as the gardens that once as a gardener might tend,
absorbed in its rainbow cycles from year’s beginning to end,
the radiant beauty of each and every single and simple flower
as delights us throughout our lives’ myriad hours,
pervading us with so much Peace when we them contemplate
and the many miracles of life, long to meditate,
be it a rose or a daisy, ‘domesticated’ or ‘wild’,
with all the innocence of an enraptured child!
What poem can describe each perfect and miraculous form,
each an image of our souls, from which our most healing thoughts blossom?

PLEASE PRAY FOR AND HELP
THE ‘DANCING’ BEARS.
VICTOR WATKINS, Wildlife LiBEARty Director of WSPA, which works worldwide to promote animal welfare, makes an appeal:
“As the tambourine rattles & music blares out on an Indian street, a small bear cub is wrenched to his feet by a course rope fastened to his delicate nose. Stolen by poachers who killed his mother he learns by pain to ‘dance’. His eyes show his deep pain. Can we really stand back & do nothing? Can we accept this cruelty as entertainment?
Only 13 years ago this was happening in Greece & Turkey - in tourist areas, but no more, the people’s eyes were opened to the appalling reality of bear dancing. Now we want to bring this cruel practice to an end in India & Pakistan.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT WE CAN DO IT – WITH HELP”

“THIS UNHOLY WAR”
This unholy war, abuse, & conflict between the human species & other life forms upon the Earth, is mainly brought into manifestation through the selfishness of humanity!
It is not the nature of the brute beast to kill, abuse, torture & maim other life forms. Nature, with all her mysteries, follows a very delicate momentum - & follows strictly the Divine Universal Laws.
ALL HUMANITY NEEDS IS TO FOLLOW THE HEART, & TO TREAT LIFE, IN ALL FORMS & MANIFESTATIONS, AS SACRED! Inspiration by MANDEL

"ONCE AGAIN, THE ANGELS DRAW NIGH TO EARTH, for there has been great conflict. For hundreds of years this conflict has waged, always between the higher and lower man, between the God-desire, the God-urge, and the claims of the lower self. Mankind cannot escape the Law, and as it sows, so must it also reap.
There is a time coming when those who can respond to the Light of Christ, to the guiding Voice, will find that only in this power will they find peace and security. God is man’s security. God is omnipotent. If you would be safeguarded from all your enemies, place your hand in God’s and trust His Love. Neither sickness, sorrow, nor separation can touch you if you are at-one with God in spirit, for then an angel reaches to each, and the world becomes your sanctuary.
May you feel conscious, as never before, of the inflow of the Christ-Love. Never fear. God will never fail you. Each difficulty you endure, rightly met, will lead you to the realisation that God is Spirit, and in the spirit you may overcome all".

WITHIN THE BOOK OF LIFE LIES THE VERSION OF THE HOLY WORDS, between the cross-roads of the passive and progressive of the astral & ethereal shadows a brick stone that breaks in benevolence. When the gladiators are permitted to unfold through the heart’s elevation and to open the gate of knowledge and the gate of light. The golden gate of the commandments of wisdom and the fruits of your labours is your payment. Seek and it shall be given. Everything is here. This is where you will find me, where I have always been.

THE GENTLE PATHWAY, - THROUGH NATURE’S WORLD, - brings a sweet scent of spring flowers. The birds sing and twitter in greeting, - the squirrel> foraging nearby looks up in surprise & also seems to say “hello”. The fresh air blows the cobwebs from our mind, and loosens the stress from our muscles as we smile in sweet surrender to the sunshine and the love that is all around us!
We sit on a bench or river bank for a while, contemplating the beauty of the Sacred Mother Earth, the streams of Living Water and the life force of the Divine Love expressed to us in our hearts and souls. We are filled with delight – as a child unwrapping a gift of love.
In the business and busy-ness of daily duties and trying to survive, our soul’s have thirsted for this haven of refreshment. The abundance of natural love is there to be with. Hug a tree, stroke a cat, take time to smell the roses!
There is also a garden of delight and love right within you. You can visualise and plant, enjoy whatever you like best. Take time out to relax your body, put aside your fears, touch your soul’s wisdom and be recharged by the Living Stream within! Blessings!

“THE COMING OF SPRING” - by SAIKAT MONDAL
“I woke up to the chorus of the birds singing
Joyfully they announce, the advent of spring
I open my eyes and behold the glorious sunshine.
Hills, vales and flowers are smiling:
A lake nearby reflects the azure sky.
As if a magician with his magic wand
In the depths of night touched
And Earth desolate, to a garden of paradise transformed.
Gently blown by the perfumed spring breeze,
Oh so glad my being feels!
Joy herself rushing thru my bloods and veins.
Surrounded by pleasant sceneries and sounds;
On the wings of dream myself I found;
Transported to a colorful fairy play ground”.

Excerpt from the book: “Dialogues with My Self” - by poet & philosopher: Saikat Mondal. - (Which can be found on: www.barnesandnoble.com
- Also at Publisher‘s page www.cader.com / new books in print.)

SAIKAT, who currently lives & works in West London, saw an advert of the Vision & Mission we displayed in a shop, - and his heart resonated with the words and ideal: – that people who have vision to see a better, more peaceful, kind & beautiful world, should come together to support each other in being a means to help ourselves and others to make a difference for good! He knows the desire to spread the news, because:
“Without A Vision Of Hope The People Will Perish!”
In the short few weeks since we met him, we gelled into a family of hope & peace, joy & love. We felt like we knew each other all our lives & we are indeed spiritual affinities from the past!
As a very sensitive soul it has been difficult to keep his creative inspiration flowing, and he is so happy to meet others who can understand his heart! Welcome to the Mission Family! Peace! Carol.
SAIKAT has definitely indicated to us that he is very willing to support our efforts to promote the Vision and Community we are seeking to form. He has brought us both much joy, peace & a very special love, into the Mission and family.
There have been others who have supported us much, & to them we are eternally thankful. - But full commitment has been rare. – It seems that Saikat, with his great compassion, seeking & many creative gifts, feels the Vision that calls us both is the same as his own. May this spiritual friendship prosper indeed!
Blessings, Mandel.

“INNER PEACE” (An Inspired Spiritual Channelling).
“Inner peace can only be achieved when you have accepted what is, here and now, in the present moment. No regrets about a happier past, no desires for an indefinable time in the future, no complaints that you don’t like what you have, whether this concerns things, people, places or situations.
Believe that however “bad” things may seem be, they are as they are, and are part of a Greater Purpose.
Don’t waste time & your precious energy in resisting reality. Accept that things are exactly as they should be that they are right for you -your spirit within, - and are part of your soul’s experience and development.
You do not have to understand, or analyse or “make sense” of anything. Simply accept, with detached compassion, how things are. - It is your own thoughts of “good” and “bad”, your emotional reactions, your resistance’s to how things, are which distress you and disturb your peace. It has been said: “Accept the unacceptable”, and then, from your peaceful centre, all your actions will be as one with the Divine Intelligence. Be at peace.”
Well! That’s telling us! Love & Light from ANN COWLING, (in Dorset, U.K)

QUOTATION FROM “LITTLE BOOK OF INNER PEACE”

“A NEW SOCIAL MODEL”
“We must attempt the impossible. I am convinced that if we continue to follow a social model that is entirely conditioned by money and power, and that takes so little account of true values such as love and altruism, future generations may have to face far worse problems and endure even more terrible forms of suffering.
I have been told that young people in the United States, and even Europe, are behaving in increasingly selfish and cruel ways. I have heard that suburbs are like jungles, that there are young gangsters who take drugs, that young people throw stones from bridges causing fatal car accidents, and even that crimes are committed by children. Is this the result of general moral decadence, or of an economic crisis, or is it because seeing violence on television every day incites our own violent streak?
Each one of us lacks one thing or another. I am not exactly sure what we lack, but I can feel we lack something. In the west, even if at the moment you are going through a crisis, you actually have everything, or at least you think you do; all kinds of material goods are there, and are no doubt distributed better than they were in the past. But it seems to me that you are living in a constant state of tension, in an atmosphere of never-ending competitiveness and fear. And those who are brought up in such an atmosphere will find themselves lacking all their lives: they will not know that wonderful quality of depth and intimacy that is the richness of life. They will stay on the surface of the troubled sea, without ever knowing the calm that lies beneath.”

Greetings,
At this time Carol & myself, Mandel, send our blessings to all who receive this News Sheet.
We are always thankful for all the material and spiritual gifts the Divine brings us to survive in a world where so many are struggling at this time to survive. In countries where there is so much poverty, oppression, violence & difficulties to stay alive in the physical sense. Anyway we feel deeply grateful for the opportunities we have experienced – enabling us to continue to promote our Work & Vision in the world.
At the moment we are engaged in making further contact with others through advertising & promoting our Vision in so many & various ways. We pay complete homage to the Spiritual Guides & the Divine Presence in inspiring us to find ever new ways to reach others in the heart, mind & soul!
We do hope that this News Sheet will bring inspiration to you & your loved ones, to open more to join with us in any way you can – & SUPPORT OUR ENDEAVOURS TO BRING MORE PEACE AND LOVE TO THIS SACRED EARTH!
Please feel free to contact Carol or myself if we are able to support you or your loved ones, in any way that is needed. Mostly we ask for your regular prayers & invocations for the Mission & ourselves. Blessings, Mandel Rheems

“To give from the heart, freely & sincerely is one of the soul’s greatest attributes. Let us treasure our human birth & the benevolence it brings to all life!” – SHAMAN.

“SILENCE IS A GREATER WAY” (CHANNELLED BY MANDEL 9/01/08.)
The new moon – reflects a light, not knowing why. Sun shines – radiates a light – not knowing why. O benevolence, does it have to be always personified?
The selfless act of good will forever leaves a hopeful & clear signal for future pilgrims & travellers. True faith – has a depth that the search cannot define.
Compassion flows like a mutual stream of pure, in-depth wisdom that imparts its ways with such subtlety.
What is it that needs reflection, is life a struggle? All that is needed is to live the Sacred Way.
Self is not needed; Ancient albatross will return – in time & season.
In this we trust & are renewed in the timeless nature of all things.
The Tao – never confronts. Benevolence is natural & flows eternally to its deeper source. Blessings, RAMANARA

Visionary quotations
We have put some of our favourite quotations about Visions and Visionaries on this site. Please email us with any suggestions for other appropriate quotes di@jrct.org.uk

R.F. Kennedy
Nothing that I can do will change the structure of the universe. But maybe, by raising my voice I can help the greatest of all causes - goodwill among men and peace on earth.

Martin Luther King
The future is not the result of choices among alternative paths offered by the present, but a place that is created – created first in the mind and will, created next in activity. The future is not some place we are going to, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made, and the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination.
John Scharr, University of California at Santa Cruz

Outstanding people have one thing in common; an absolute sense of mission
Zig Ziglar
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it but that our aim is too low and we reach it

So long as space remains,
So long as sentient beings remain,
I will remain,
In order to help, in order to serve,
In order to make my contribution.
From 'The Open Heart' by the Dalai Lama
People don't resist change. They resist being changed.
Peter Senge

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; the bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

Such is the power of love in gentle mind,
That it can alter all the course of kind.
Edmund Spenser
Every action impacts another living being, so make your actions positive. After all, one's eternity remains only in the minds of the living.

The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the biggest shrub of all and becomes a tree so that the birds of the air come and shelter in its branches.
Matthew, ch. 13, v. 31-32
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Proverbs 29.18
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Thomas Edison
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson
Utopia is on the horizon: I walk two steps, it takes two steps back. I walk ten steps and it is ten steps further away. What is utopia for? It is for this, for walking.
Eduardo Galeano
All of us have to learn how to invent our lives, make them up, imagine them. We need to be taught these skills; we need guides to show us how. If we don't, our lives get made up for us by other people.
Ursula K. Le Guin
With every book I write, I become more and more convinced of the centrality of compassion. I have found that it is the key to most of our religious and social perplexities, and that is what I want my readers to understand. I have always been inspired by the story of Rabbi Hillel, the older contemporary of Jesus. He was approached by a group of pagans who promised to convert to Judaism if the Rabbi could recite the whole of Jewish teaching while he stood on one leg. Hillel stood on one leg and replied:'That which is hateful to you, do not to your neighbour. That is the Torah. The rest is commentary. Now go and learn it." It is an extraordinary remark. There is no mention of God, the Ten Commandments, the Promised Land or the Chosen People - items of faith that we might consider central to the traditions of Israel. All is commentary. The essential is compassion: to look into the interior self, find out what gives you distress and refuse to inflict this upon other people. If we did this, hour by hour, minute by minute, we would have no time to worry about the existence of a metaphysical god. We would constantly be living beyond the prism of our own egotism. This would bring us transformation and vision. As the late Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel explained: "When we put ourselves at the opposite pole of ego, we would be in the place where God is." All the great world leaders have taught the Golden Rule. Confucius proclaimed it five hundred years before Hillel: "Do not do to others as you would not have done unto you." The Buddha taught it, Jesus taught it, and this is the bedrock message of the Koran. If our politicians and religious leaders made the Golden Rule their first priority, the world would be a happier, safer place. .
Karen Armstrong
Great ideas, it has been said, come into the world as gently as doves. Perhaps then, if we listen attentively, we shall hear amid the uproar of empires and nations, a faint flutter of wings, a gentle stirring of life and hope. Some will say that this hope lies in a nation; others, in a man. I believe rather that it is awakened, revived, nourished by millions of individuals whose deeds and works every day negate frontiers and the crudest implication of history. As a result, there shines forth fleetingly the ever-threatened truth that each and every man, on the foundation of his own sufferings and joys, builds for all.
Albert Camus
Each time a man stands up for an idea, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
Robert Kennedy

Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
Confucius
The courage we desire and prize is not the courage to die decently, but to live manfully
Thomas Carlyle
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action.

Peter Marshall
Risk more than others think is safe,
Care more than others think is wise,

Anon
One thing the world needs now is people who can tolerate ambiguity, people who are challenged, not threatened by the state of the world. I want to suggest a few things such maturity might require.
First, do not seek security in things, nor yet in status. The care of possessions, and position, is time- consuming and energy-consuming, and they can be taken from you by a thief in the night, by a fire in the night, by a change in political fortunes, by any numbers of disasters. Whatever security you have lies in yourself. Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.
If you understand yourself, both your strengths and limitations, If you like the person you are, if you acquire coping skills through experience, if you are not too encumbered, and if you know- inwardly- that disaster cannot ultimately overcome you, then you have gone a long way to maturity. You will be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Second, don't rest in intellectual security, for your philosophy and the knowledge on which it rests are likely to become obsolete. Wisdom is not amassing facts....
Third, the only real security in the end is the love we have given and the love we have received. All else can be taken from us. So pour out your love and friendship and do not hoard it ... And don't delay or hesitate in standing up to be counted with the oppressed.
Finally, cultivate the light touch. Develop a sense of humour. Learn to light up a room with joy when you enter. Accept the challenge of our chaotic and dangerous world with a sense of adventure, of gratitude that our time is now."
Elizabeth Watso

"PEACE IS FLOWING"

2008-03-11T20:40:00.002Z

“Peace is flowing like a mountain stream that expands into a river & eventually unto the ocean. This River is ‘gathering in’ the life forms on the way, refreshing the people, watering the soil, growing the herbs & crops, giving life to the fish & many creatures, trees & birds of the air.
WATER IS THE SOURCE OF PHYSICAL LIFE. PEACE IS THE SOURCE OF OUR SPIRITUAL LIFE!
Let the Holy Rivers flow through our hearts, minds & souls, refreshing our faith & directing us clearly towards the ocean of Love. May our lives be a Beacon of Peace & Compassion to draw others with us to the transcendent Peace & Love of the Divine!”

Hello From Saikat to Mandel&Carol

2008-03-09T10:26:00.003Z

Dear Mandel&Carol,

I just found out how to send blog messages to your fabulous web-page. I wish to congratulate you(Carol) on the great job done on ONEEARTHMISSIONANDVISION blog. By the way this is my first blog entry. I am an old fashioned writer and still prefer putting pen to paper first, but nonetheless let's enjoy the technical benefits of the age we live in. Here is a poem written long time ago about close minded people. I hope you folks like it.

Closed Windows

People who keep their windows closed
No Sunlight ever doth enter that household
Born and bred in artificial light
In Dark gloomy morbid thoughts their souls seek flight.

IS IT POSSIBLE YOU ARE SEEKING ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF LIVING AND BEING?

DEVOTIONAL, SPIRITUAL AND HEALING FAMILY IS FORMING

2008-03-03T20:12:00.004Z

We are looking for sensitive, sincere and dedicated individuals, seeking a pathway of service to humanity, recognising the sacredness of all life, and to raise planetary consciousness.
We aim to enable love and compassion to grow. To bring higher, more evolved teachings to humanity. Also healing therapies to release stress and karmic problems through creative arts.
To also form the nucleus of the Family & Community – with pooling of our resources to promote the work & vision.
This is an avenue of service to humanity. We emphasise women’s spirituality: caring, & inspiration, nurturing, - moving away from strong intellectual analysis, - concentrating on intuition, sensitivity and unconditional love!
All persons of a kind & compassionate nature will be welcomed, what ever their pathway so far! Age, colour, creed, gender / orientation is immaterial. We are to prepare ourselves for change & evolvement and to lead the world into gentle changes, by spreading peace, love, harmony, light, healing, and good will into the world. To assist humanity through the troubling times ahead, as we are transported into the new age of Aquarius. To move from the Piscean Age of individuality and self-centredness, into the unity and community, family, team work, and Communication Age. - Moving away from materialism & selfishness, to becoming World Servers.

“MISSION STATEMENT OF PURPOSE”

2008-03-03T19:35:00.001Z

The "One Earth Mission" & Community is about the coming together of soul affinities & the joining together of like-minded individuals for a common purpose. To join with a Spiritual Family, where through prayer, meditation, artistic endeavours & devotional living we are working to bring more light & vision to the earth, to aid humanity towards evolving away from war & hostility, towards Peace, Harmony & Love.
We are working with advanced & evolved souls & Beings of Light from the higher spheres, who are working through us to bring "higher teachings" from the Divine source of all humanity, to open the eyes of humanity to true Divine & right living!
We should not consider that humanity is superior to the rest of life on earth, but must take our place, & live in harmony with the other life forms & species on earth.
Mankind must correct its wrong thinking & attitudes, & his ways of exploiting the earth for it's own selfish ends. This negativity creates conflict & hostility between the human family & the rest of the life on earth!
We must all work together for the emancipation of the human condition & consciousness - freeing mankind in raising his consciousness to the DIVINE WITHIN, for the coming new age!
Many evolved beings from the higher spheres care much for humanity, & are bringing much light through from the Godhead, & healing rays to help purify the earth's plane of the negative dross & energies, released through the negative actions of mankind!
* * * * * *
SO WE ARE WORKING TO BUILD A SPIRITUAL FAMILY OF LIGHT WORKERS, TO JOIN TOGETHER IN PRAYER & UNITY & TO LEARN TO LIVE TOGETHER, IN DEVOTION AND LOVE, IN HELPING TO UNITE A DIVIDED UNIVERSE!
For many years now, I have had an “Inner Vision”. – It is one of forming a Community of like-minded individuals, healers, teachers, channellers, artists & caring people - to gather together the potential family and live together in a life of Devotional Service.
Our task would be to work with the Universal Creative energies and through artistic endeavour. I.E. through music, dance, and drama - also through channelling teachings from the higher spheres, - to be inspired to work together to broadcast this knowledge and spiritual power to the world at large.
That we become channels and servants of God / Goddess and through working with the higher Guides and teachers / healers reach as many individuals as possible, to the knowledge that we are One Family On Earth. That the whole of Humanity should work together with all life, together with those consciousnesses and lights that have their home in the higher spheres.
I know that I am inspired from the higher spheres, where only selfless love and service matter, to form this Community, and through direct Divine Inspiration seek to progress in this Divine Manifestation of God's Will.
For many years I have worked alone, seeking out others who have given themselves to a devotional life and to the life of a Greater Service. Many came along but could not choose to stay to fully commit themselves in this Mission Family and vast, profound, priceless Vision! –

I AM DELIGHTED TO HAVE NOW BEEN JOINED IN PARTNERSHIP IN THIS MISSION, BY CAROL RAWLINS, WHO IS MY DIVINE SOUL-MATE & LIFE PARTNER. - Spiritually melded together in a ceremony on July 25th 2004, we are both fully dedicated to the aims & progression of this Mission “One Earth”, and vowed to return as Bodhisattva’s until all are forever free!
The whole Mission is one of a creative work of art, if we believe in the Divine Power lying within us, working all together for the Higher Service. Humanity needs to be inspired to work together, internationally, for world peace, & for the Spirit of Brotherhood /Sisterhood of our species, & to work in harmony with the other species upon the Earth sphere!
* * * * * *
OUR WORK WILL BE TO PREPARE HUMANITY FOR COMING CHANGES ON EARTH, FOR THE NEW AGE!
Many evolved beings from the higher spheres, - many Guides & teachers, seek to inspire humanity to develop a greater responsibility and maturity, to prepare the Earth children for the 22nd Century, when mankind’s consciousness will expand to a far greater degree than is at present realised! - When we have come to realise that all life is precious & sacred in the Universe, we come to awaken to our true nature of selflessness, - then we begin to live our lives in harmlessness towards all life on Earth and in the Universe!
All religions show aspects of the way, but we must eventually transcend beyond the Religious differences, and seek directly for the emancipation of our loving & spiritual natures!
It is to build this initial Spiritual Family in order to show by a clear example, how we can live the Devotional Life, 24 hours a day - being in a loving relationship with each other, with Nature, & with the Divine!
* * * * * *
TRAVELLING MISSION & FAMILY.
After forming an initial community, - which will be as a centre or hub of the “One Earth Ideal”, it will be a training base for those of the initial Family; - who will travel when the time is ripe, to different countries via a travelling Mission. This will be developed as a Travelling Festival of artists, musicians, mediums, healers, & teachers - where through dance, music, movement, meditation, & channelled teachings, we hope to reach as many as possible throughout the world with the basic message of Divine Love, Peace, Brotherhood & Sisterhood!
I do hope we can work particularly with the indigenous peoples of the world, to listen to their message of Peace & sharing the world’s resources. Also seek to conserve the remaining resources of the Earth for future generations to come! The Travelling Mission will be working with Devotional and Divine energies, in joy - and will lead to a deep fulfilment for all involved. It is envisaged that through inspiration and guidance from the higher sphere and work with the Divas - to inspire and co-ordinate with the artists & architects in the community, to create & form Ashrams & Temples throughout the world.
* * * * * *
THESE TEMPLES WILL BE DEDICATED
They will be for the expansion of consciousness to make manifest the Visionary Ideals and Purpose of the Mission - also can be used for the purpose of assisting in healing, meditation, artistic and creative expressions. Work will also be done, on our travels, to “Open & Cleanse” the Ancient & Holy Sites of the Earth, so that the Etheric body of the Mother Earth will be cleansed and released.

AS I HAVE STATED BEFORE, THIS “ONE EARTH MISSION” IS DIVINELY INSPIRED, - SO CAROL AND I SEEK TO DO OUR PART IN FORMING THE INITIAL FAMILY.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO ENQUIRE FURTHER. IT IS THROUGH DIVINE LOVE, THROUGH PRAYER & DEVOTION, THAT WE WILL BRING FORTH THE EVENTUAL MANIFESTATION OF THE COMMUNITY AND OF THE “ONE EARTH VISION”.
* * * * * *
“GOING HOME”
Take my hands, my heart & soul light;
- Take the freedom that this brings.
Fly to homewards one another,
- Wings of truth will guide us right.
Ask of nothing, but surrender,
- Letting go of little self,
Then to gain the greater love,
-Is the dream of all who might!
* * * * * *
REDEMPTIVE WORK.
We envision a community outside London, being close to Nature. - To join with others in a life of Devotion and Prayer, invoking the Light. To work with the Inner Masters & Guides to bring healing & higher teachings through to humanity, together with Transforming Power to the Earth plane, with upliftment and a deeper Vision from our hearts & souls to bring more Light into this world! - As we work in the Lower spheres, with the higher guides and helpers - we are creating and manifesting a base with grounding for the Spiritual Power & Energies on the lower dimensions.
As we gain more individuals for this Mission, we will be given more protection for them. As we progress, & grow as a Spiritual Family the Power of the Divine protection will be given.
* * * * * *
IT IS A TESTING TIME FOR US ALL; WE MUST PROVE OUR WORTH & COMMITMENT TO THE VISION AND GREATER PURPOSE OF THE MISSION!
As we work within the lower spheres, we are counter-acting the activities of the lower, negative forces, which release and work with the negative power & force. They influence many individuals on Earth who work as channels for hatred, fear, prejudices and all negative thinking. They have given themselves over as servants of the selfish left-hand path – and spiritual darkness. In many cases it is because these individuals are young souls who have not evolved enough to realise the mistake of serving the negative forces!
Often, also, it's because the persons have an unforgiving nature that holds bitterness and hatred or fear, deep in their hearts. The negative thoughts of those individuals help to create the atmosphere surrounding the Earth on an astral level, an aura of hatred & warfare, unforgiveness, bigotry & fear!
* * * * * *
TRANSMUTING FORCES
Just as we become Channels for the Light, we can equally become channels for the darkness and lower forces. We will, eventually have to choose to transform this battleground by transmuting, in our hearts, the various forces that are guiding humanity to EVOLVE OR DEVOLVE in the scheme of creation! We choose to work in the Light, in Love & Devotion, as we know it is the most efficient way and path for further evolutionary growth and fulfilment! This is a time of much spiritual opportunity to help our planet, & our brethren of all species.

To sit on the fence and wait passively for everything to unfold, is a mistake. – Let your heart be opened to compassionate action, for we must all make our choices of service, eventually. IT IS IN OUR HEARTS & MINDS: Knowing of the seeds of negative & positive KARMA: - The nature of the seed we plant, will be the eventual harvest we shall experience & inherit!
* * * * * *
INNER PEACE, TRANQUILLITY, TRUE HUMBLENESS
In Divine Love, with an open Heart and Mind, we give our lives in service and greater sacrifice. We serve to see a better world coming forth, where Peace, Harmony and Love will reign in the Hearts of Humanity, in preparation for a greater positive vision and manifestation of true Brother/Sisterhood.
We seek to bring non-judgemental harmony by our thoughts, words and works, - to become a living example for the future generations to come, - so that our children and offspring will inherit a loving, forgiving world!
Mandel had contacts in Mexico & Spain from Mission work he did there a long time ago. We currently have contacts in Cyprus and the U.K. now.
“The main test for this Mission Is an internal and external commitment to GOD, - and to the Spirit of Brother / Sisterhood!”
* * * * * *
A FEW POTENTIAL PROJECTS.
These are some visionary projects for the future of the Mission:
1: TO WORK IN PRISONS. 2: TO WORK WITH SINGLE PARENTS. 3: THE HANDICAPPED. 4: PENSIONERS & THE HOUSEBOUND. 5: ANIMAL RIGHTS. 6: INDIGENOUS GROUPS. 7: GAY AWARENESS. 8: TERMINALLY ILL. 9: CHILDREN & THE YOUNG. 10: RELIGIOUS UNITY. 11: ARTISTS & MUSICIANS. 12: WORLD PEACE CENTRES & COMMUNITIES, PLANETARY WIDE.
IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO ORGANISE THESE!
* * * * * *
AT PRESENT WE ARE SEEKING ACCOMMODATION
IN ORDER TO FORM THE MISSION FAMILY & COMMUNITY BASE, IN A RURAL AREA, NEXT TO NATURE - AND SETTING UP A WAY TO HELP FUND FURTHER PROMOTION AND EXPANSION OF THE MISSION COMMUNITIES & PEACE CENTRES!
* * * * * *
THANK YOU FOR YOUR INITIAL INTEREST IN OUR “ONE EARTH MISSION AND VISION”. - PLEASE GIVE US SOME FEEDBACK ON WHAT YOU HAVE FELT ABOUT THIS LITERATURE! - Tell us a little about your life-path & desires for your future! Perhaps we can run our pathway side by side for a season, or more long term!
WE CAN SEND YOU FURTHER INFORMATION.
* * * * * *
CONTACT US:
TO REQUEST HEALING / PRAYER. WE ALSO OFFER PERSONAL GUIDANCE FROM THE MISSION GUIDES ON AN AUDIO TAPE, - OR ARRANGE FOR A MEETING. - PLEASE WRITE, E-MAIL, TEXT OR TELEPHONE US - WE LOVE TO RECEIVE ANY POSITIVE COMMUNICATION!
WE GIVE ALL FREELY. - NO PRICE IS CHARGED FOR THE PRICELESS & PROFOUND GIFTS OF SPIRIT MADE AVAILABLE TO ALL!
* * * * * *

(IF you have the means to offer a free will donation to our Mission Work, or your time, prayer commitment, or some practical talent you have - to help develop our work, it will be welcome as we do not have financial backers.) We feel that so many New Age groups and centres concentrate on the financial aspect of growth and expansion. - WE ARE A GROWING SPIRITUAL FAMILY and chose not to use our spiritual work like a business! Though we may need help to fund our work - WITHIN THE MISSION, & FOR THE LOW WAGED & NEEDY, SPIRITUAL / DIVINE HEALING & GUIDANCE WILL ALWAYS BE FREE OF CHARGE.
We have made some helpful contacts in the last year or so, to help us find more spiritual friends and supporters. It is opening more doorways for the future growth and expansion of the Mission & Family.
* * * * * *
REGULAR ATTUNEMENT OF THE INNER LIGHT.
We make a daily spiritual attunement at 09.00hrs & 22.00hrs, when we open the Inner Light Centre of the Christ at the Mission Sanctuary and seek to work with the Inner Masters and Angelic forces for the work of individual healing, also for planetary healing. We make contact with THE CHRIST, THE LORD BUDDHA, THE LORD KRISHNA, AND THE GODDESS, who are my main points of contact and Focus. We link, too, with the White Eagle Lodge and the Great White Brotherhood, the Indigenous Elders, and the Great Earth Mother! That is particularly at 9am and 10pm (GMT or British Summer Time, respectively!)
* * * * * *
AT THIS TIME WE WOULD LIKE TO RELAY THANKS
Blessings to all those who have given some commitment for this Mission and we ask for your continued prayers and Good Will. The Light released will give us all strength to continue and grow as a Spiritual Family- and eventually to come together in Life, Love, and Service for the Greater Purpose of Humanity.
* * * * * *
"A GENTLE BIRTH"
We have eternal hope,
As the new sun dawns and rises,
That humanity will enter
Within this new age
With as least suffering
As is possible,
That is our aim, our desire,
And our purpose!

BLESSINGS, FROM THE BROTHERHOOD / SISTERHOOD OF LIGHT,
MANDEL RHEEMS, CAROL RAWLINS-RHEEMS, AND THE “ONE EARTH MISSION” FAMILY.
