EMPOWER AMERICA - Al Gore

Spread the word. A key moment.

"Carol Rawlins"


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.

Thanks so much,

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.

YOUR LIGHT IS NEEDED NOW!

Flag this messageYOUR LIGHT IS NEEDED NOW!Thursday, 22 May, 2008 7:44 PM
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!

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

Further to job searching...

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.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS BLOG - PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT IN THE BOX PROVIDED.

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.

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."
Osho: The Book of Wisdom, #1

++On a lighter note - as life goes on - I recently heard Bruce Springsteen's album Live In Dublin. Check out what happens when a rocker turns his hand to folk music – and hold on to your hats! - this is folk music at its bawdiest and raunchiest - happy, tearful, uplifting, deep, poignant, sad, and joyful-for-no-reason-at-all!
