Today is a holiday in honor of abundance, and the richness of gratitude. In terms of juicy human feelings, gratitude ranks high on the list. When we posture in an attitude of gratitude, we feel genuine and authentic wellbeing. This is a choice that we can make on a daily basis.
There's a "game" I sometimes play right before going to sleep. I articulate 3 things that I am grateful for. It places my awareness in a peaceful state before moving into the dreamspace. It's difficult to feel anxiety or depression when one is focusing on the gifts and joys of life. Try it sometime.
Today I am grateful for the journey that this incarnation is taking me on. I am grateful for all the messengers and friends along the path. I am grateful for Spaceship Earth and the spirit of the Pachamama, with whom I have been developing a deeper relationship via ceremony and ritual. I am grateful for the opportunities for growth and polishing that challenges bring forward. I am grateful for the opportunity to share my thinkings, feelings, and experiences through the realm of language.
Life is juicy indeed! Blessed Be.

With a Little Help From My Friends......
I was just reading through one of my favorite blogs created by Michael Jaco, a former Navy Seal and a strong force for the unfoldment of the Ascension process taking place on Lady Gaia currently. Those of you who are interested can find his blog at MichaelJaco.com. I highly recommend it.
I've spoken about the 100th monkey principle and about the philosophic realization that a small group of focused individuals can create tremendous change. As I read Michael's blog tonight, I find myself thinking about this again, and about the responsibility we have to each other to support the vision of a peaceful Earth and an evolved humanity. We are those 100 monkeys, and there are more folks awakening every day.
So how do we best assist each other? What means of support can we give each other? In shamanism we are trained to "hold space" in clarity. This is of tremendous assistance in any healing practice. I've witnessed the power of a clear spaceholder, one who allows the individual or group healing process to unfold naturally and for the highest good, and it was a beautiful thing. This is a gift we can surely give each other. All healing comes from the God Source within, and in holding space in clarity, we offer the opportunity for this to be made manifest here in the physical. When we listen to someone and remain clear and outside the realm of mind and emotion, we provide them the chance to clear the things that are bothering them and to come into a new balance. There is amazing power in being a good listener, and that power generally works to the benefit of the person who is "releasing", who is doing the talking. This is another great gift we can give to each other.
We are going to move forward most quickly and effortlessly with the full support and help from our friends. I encourage everyone reading this to genuinely offer a clear space in which their friends can heal. All of us are going to need this support as things come up for us to be looked at and cleared. The challenge of this time for us is going to be the embracing of our shadow, and the choosing to remain free of judgement when other people's shadows come into the light of awareness. The "lone wolf" philosophy will not serve us best in this time of change. Together we stand, divided we fall.

The crescent moon balanced on the western horizon as I pulled into the drive after work on this year's 11/11. After an hour or so of "homework", consisting of perusing various websites, checking stock/currency/PM markets, and reading a few articles, I'm ready to write.
What strikes me today is the amount of negativity involved in the markets and the participants of the financial game. Helicopter Ben and his dogmatic inflation schemes seem to be creating havoc in worldwide commodity prices. Things are out of balance. Truth hides in the caverns of Oz. Many of the most intelligent and experienced veterans are fully expecting a currency meltdown. There is zero trust in the folks who are pulling the levers of the financial system. Rather than focusing on the newborn phoenix rising from the ashes, folks seem to continue focusing on the crash and burn of the old paradigm. And who can blame them, IT SHOULD be interesting after all!
What is clear to me is that we need a new way of doing business on this planet. Years ago I learned of a certain hamburger company having a long history of burning down rain forest in poorer South American countries in order to create plots of pasture for their cattle. Since the country being raped was "poor" compared to the country in which this corporate giant postures in, the giant was (and still is) able to offer the product of this environmental tragedy (hamburgers) at a minimal cost in dollars. The travesty brought to the locals and the planet is not factored into the price of the product. Upon hearing this news, I vowed never to eat fast food again. I have maintained that vow. It was clear to me then, as it is now, that things WILL change, one way or another. Another certain corporate giant proclaims, "Save money, Live better". What they fail to say is that the outsourcing of jobs to nation states which pay low wages allows them to undercut local community stores and artisan products. This in turn leads to the destruction of self sufficient local economic communities. This in turn leads to homogenization, an unhealthy condition in organic organisms, and one subject to attack and annihilation. Perhaps this is the goal, but that is the subject for other blogs.
Helicopter Ben and his minions work very hard to keep a dying system alive. Why do they bother? Nature erases the mistakes of humankind, though it may take centuries. A renaissance follows dark ages, and I expect there will be an amazing resurrection following this paradigm of paper profits and wizard of Oz corporate giants. But first the paradigm gives up the ghost. Will it happen in our lifetimes? I believe so.
I'm preparing a blog on True Wealth. It will be a manifesto, and guide on moving forward in harmony and sanity. What follows the McParadigm is True Wealth. We, as children of the Stars, sparks of Divinity, manifesters of conscious Will, deserve to create heaven on earth. It is the promise, awaiting full realization here on Lady Gaia. It will take a conscious, concerted, continuous effort to move into this reality. But as has been proven by the 100th monkey principle, it will not take a majority to tip the scales. Indeed, philosophers throughout the ages have spoken of the power in a strongly intentioned small community. With the WWW and global communication, we have the power and potential right now to create this. Who will the 100th monkey be? Will it be that child that you smiled at in the grocery store today?
Life is good. We are marching forward into this conscious evolution. We are pushing onward in this spiritual revolution. We are moving towards full realization of our Godness. We are shining bright lights to the places caught in darkness. And we are not alone. To those of you who choose to read this and hold the vision, I honor you.
Namaste.

Time to get serious
As of today, not a single person on this beloved planet follows this blog. It's time to change that. How that is going to manifest is merely an idea in the brain of Divinity, yet I am open and willing to be the channel through which information becomes more widespread.
Suffice to say that we live in unprecedented times. The "kick the can down the road" philosophy of our esteemed elected "leaders" has nearly drawn to completion. It is nigh time for a reset. Watch the drama unfold in the gold and silver price and the US dollar index. A country CANNOT go bankrupt. A currency CAN go bankrupt. What we are witnessing today is the bankrupting of the currency of the United States. The dollar can and will be removed from it's status as "world reserve currency". The drama unfolds slowly. The Titanic is not able to turn "on a dime", and similarly, the world reserve currency will take years to be unseated. Pay close attention to the deals already in place which allow Asian nations, Russia, South American nations, and Arab nations to trade in their own currencies without using the dollar. This is the foundation of a new world reserve "basket" of currencies which will take the place of the dollar shortly. Gold is making a strong assertion as a currency. Recently, the head of the World Bank said that gold should be included as a participant in a basket of currencies which brings sanity to the Forex markets.
This may be over the head of most folks in America. But regardless of whether we "get it" or not, it is happening, and will continue to unfold according to planning by the international bankers. Educating oneself is paramount to surviving this transition with any appreciable wealth intact.
I'm ready to blog with renewed vigor. This should be interesting.
Peace.
