This is it, all of us standing side by side – tall, free, in love and ready to create the harmonious heaven that is our birthright. Here is the hope for the future from my niece, Gillian, in Manchester, England. She emailed this just this morning.

“It was amazing.  I thought about the responsibility we have of peace, that we have a responsibility to those who have died because of ignorance, who have lost their loved ones lost in war, to heal ourselves.  This better world won’t happen until we accept the mantle of responsibility to be better people to each other and ourselves, to share what we know and show others how to heal – not in hidden yoga studios, congratulating ourselves on our secret achievements out of secret fear that nobody will accept us or an egotistical need to be ‘special’ – but in public; in front of the bums and working people who don’t know anything about this, who need it most.  It’s time to share and show how this stuff works.”

So she stood in the square and chanted 108 Gayatri mantras, attempting to be heard over the construction sounds behind her.

Here is one interpretation from the mantras:

• The Robert Fox interpretation:

“O Effulgent Light of creation! Let the Sun of Truth illuminate my divinity. And meditation allow my thoughts to be inspired by Thee.”

I have had the experience of the power of mantra and hope that one day all may feel that power, sound is the foundation of the universe, it forms our reality as we know it and mantra is our opportunity to be in co-creation with that power of creation and sustenance. Mantra is the vehicle of miracles and with focused dedication to that we will all experience heaven here.

Bravo, thank you, and bless you Gillian.

Yesterday I went over to Occupy Wall Street again as I do just about everyday and I got inspired to take a few portraits of a day in Zuccotti Park. SO here they are. If you have not been to Zuccotti Park you need to know it is not filthy or dangerous, they are not rabid communists or greedy hippy students who want someone to pay their school loan or lazy unions wanting a free ride off the company. I am tired of people telling me they know what’s going on and then making outrageous statements and they haven’t even been over to participate.

This is an awesome, inspiring action by brave and committed people of all areas of our culture. I met a World War 11 veteran who is angry, a family from the suburbs who are motivated to hold signs, a teacher, mothers, fathers, union workers, artists, musicians and many more who have something to say about the inequity of our current system. This movement is important to all 100% of us, we are in this together.

In Zuccotti Park everyday there are spontaneous and organized discussions on what needs fixing. Everyday there is a meditation. Everyday the sacred space is refreshed and continually in use. Food is offered to all and clean up is very conscious with a grey water cleansing system complete with growing plants in it. The library has been growing all along from a small pile of books to the entire northeast corner of the park and there’s always someone browsing through. It has been amazing to watch the growth of this community over the last month or so. From 20-30 students with sleeping bags and backpacks to bedrolls on mattresses, to blue drop cloths draped in trees, until tents sprang up over every inch and now the military grade weather proof tents are moving in for the winter weather. The self organization of the community is quite amazing.

All ideas are on the table, this is the place of consciousness that is willing to shake up everything and rethink from the bottom up. That is why the movement has caught on worldwide and is showing up in various forms on all continents. On a white board in the park all discussions, events and meetings are listed for participants to join if they choose. There is always some kind of open discussion going on right in the middle of the park and many more sprinkled around the area in various public spaces from an atrium on Wall Street to Charlotte’s Place community center.

This week I learned that the intention is to gather the consensus of gripes and solutions over the winter from Occupy groups all over the country and then to meet in Philadelphia in March to aggregate everything into concise demands of congress. You may think this is slow and tedious, a very un-soundbite universe way of doing things. People say, “What do they want?” “Why don’t they have a leader?” and “This will never succeed.”  But the prevailing sentiment in Zuccotti Park is that the way we do things now is NOT working so let’s do it all a very different way. Maybe you’ve heard the quote, “A problem cannot be solved within the space in which it was created”? Who said that? If you know please tell me, I can’t remember. Anyway it’s true, there needs to be an alchemical shift in consciousness for a solution to any problem to present itself, so the Occupy Wall Street movement is making space for that shift in consciousness to present us all with some choices. If we are left up to the devises of the banking/corporate/government hydra we will have no choices but to hand over even more of our wealth to them. We see the media machine labeling this movement and I know for a fact that some media are trying to stir things up to get the sound bite they want. I watched a guy that I talked with last week who is very grounded as he was hounded by a camera man to say that he wanted violent revolution and was ready to kill another person. Don’t believe what you see about Occupy Wall Street on TV.

SO this IS another Heaven is Here post, this is to say that we do have choices, your vote counts, your sign on your chest counts, your voice counts. We are the 100% and we are the smartest ones in the room because we have common sense and we listen to our hearts and we take our time to allow wisdom to blossom into good action.

I don’t know how but since I was a teenager I have known that we were heading into magical times. I am just thrilled to know that we are in them right now. I have been writing these posts in order to remind myself and whoever else is interested that we actually do live in Heaven, this is it. The only way it isn’t it is if we refuse to notice, acknowledge and practice the consciousness of Heaven. So when that happens and consciousness slips into the nihilism of Heaven we need reminders. This is where I come in with this blog.

A very interesting thing has been happening this year of the shift of the ages, if you haven’t noticed the bizarre weather effects or earthquakes and tsunamis I doubt that you have seen the magenta light of the heart entering the earth and making it’s love visible. For some strange reason this year I have been aware of this magenta light. At first I didn’t see it I just kind of knew it, I felt it’s presence. So I began looking for it and found it was very illusive, but somehow I knew it was here and it’s appearance only a matter of time. This weekend I was working in my driveway splitting and stacking wood and guess what – there it was, brilliant, shimmering, incredibly strong and vibrant.

Now, here’s the image but it’s not nearly as bright and sparkling as the colors actually were. You may say, well it’s the sun reflected off the window and maybe it was but, in over 10 years of sun reflecting off that window this has never happened before. Also we live in form and form informs us of our spiritual frequencies.

To ramble on a bit further in this reminder of our true state if we should choose it. In light of that idea that form informs us of our spirit we are so blessed with devices, technologies and comforts of the time that imply our transcendent abilities: the connectivity of the phone and internet reflect that natural clairvoyant connection we all share as ONE MIND. The comforts and abundance of our world are evidence of Heavenly riches we are all entitled to. There is enough and we will see this very clearly once we have fully integrated and welcomed the magical magenta light of the heart into ourselves.

 

 

According to Carl Johan Calleman foremost authority on the Mayan calendar today is the day it all ends. No worries though because this is really the beginning of a brand new age, an age of uplifted consciousness that will come with a strong sense of oneness and harmony. But, and this is a most important but, this new age also brings an accelerated connection with the creative force so be vigilant with your thoughts desires and wishes. Be vigilant with your interactions with others. As with the Vedic concept that whatever you do on the first day of the new year will set the patterns for the whole year; whatever you do with these first days of the new age will set your patterns for this entire new age. So from now until at least 11.11.11 if not 12.12.12 we must hold ourselves accountable for our own actions and be sweet, meditate, see every other that we meet as ourselves and as a perfect representative of our God. Listen carefully for messages of love and hope and seize those messages as our new reality. Hold a consciousness of being the witness behind the eyes and watch the noise outside, it could get a lot noisier but know that you are not that noise. This is the Golden Age that we move into now and if you choose it you will be it. Remember to LOVE.
