This movie is very well done and really expresses in many ways how I look at my life and the challenges of our time. Oneness is not just a spiritual realization it is the magnetizing force our relationships. Living oneness is just so much more fun than anything else…

I’d love to hear from you…

Many of us [...]]]>

Every day I ponder the amazing realization that we as human beings are able to change our world into the world that we so much yearn for. T say it in the words of the Pachamama Alliance: to bring forth an environmentally sustainable, spiritual fulfilling and socially just human presence on this planet.

Many of us have had some sort of experience that gave us direct interior access to the realization that separation is an illusion. That underneath that veil of identification with our personal story that’s woven by our thoughts, fears and survival strategies lies the never corruptible truth of our interconnectedness, our interdependence and ultimately our oneness. My first experiences of that kind go back to my childhood… they happened without me seeking them and went almost unnoticed. Later in life I experienced those moments and whole periods in my life in which I could not see anything but that oneness. My experience throughout most of my life was that very few people were able to relate to me when I brought it up. In 2003 I started the “Breathe for Peace” project which is entirely build on living and expressing Oneness and I started to see that more and more people are waking up to that reality.

Today there is a movement that is according to Paul Hawken the largest movement ever to occur in human history – Blessed Unrest – that I believe is at the core inspired by the realization that “I don’t have a better life unless you have a better life too” – which is in itself a testament to oneness.

I feel myself being part of this movement and even though I miss everyday many times to act from that place my intention is to be that in all affairs of my life.

One of the affairs that we all are daily affected by is the global economic system that we all live in. I believe that as long as we are not willing to take our realizations of the deeper workings of our minds and whole beings into the way we “make a living” we are still just talking about it. We don’t become the authentic, collective power that we need to be to effectively express the way we want to live on this planet.

Please watch this clip from the Global Oneness Project that deeply touched my heart:

We can do this! We are able to connect in such a way that the vast pool of the inner work that we have done over all this years can be translated into true participation in the future of this world.

Comment and let me know what you feel, think, ponder… And call me! Let’s talk from heart to heart: 480-951-9339 and together let’s love the world.

I recently started using an internet search engine that saves 2m² (2.4yd²) of rainforest with each web search I do. Their search results are as good as Google or Yahoo, and it’s free.

Watch this movie to see how it works: The address is: www.Ecosia.org

So far Ecosia has saved 12,317,887 m² (14,732,193 yd²) [...]]]>

We hosted the “Awakening the Dreamer” Pachamama symposium on August 9th in our home in Scottsdale, AZ.

At one point during the symposium we are asked at to explore our assumptions about the way we live our lives.

We formed small groups, took some time to explore them and wrote them down.

As an example: in one of the movies shown during the Symposium Julia Butterfly Hill points out one of our most common assumptions: that there is a place called “Away”. She asks: “When you say ‘I throw this away’… where is AWAY?”

Here are the assumptions that we explored:

• That we all have opportunities for everybody.
• Homelessness, poverty, hungry people are not that many “here”.
• We assume that people will take/make a change (and it will be done for us).
• Spiritual fulfillment will come (out of economical success??)
• I can understand what is going on and make a judgment about it with the faculties (like my little brain).
• I can speak about what is going on.
• “THEY” do not understand… (as well as I do).
• Sun will rise daily.
• We have air to breathe.
• Water runs… showers will work… (more than one group listed this).
• Phone utilities work.
• Enough food in store and everything else we need (more than one group listed this).
• Enough gas to drive (more than one group listed this).
• Trash will be taken “AWAY”.
• Stores will open.
• We will have safe homes, shelter / safety.
• Crisis is required to create cooperation.
• Current state of things must change.
• Impossible / hard to be autonomous.
• Overpopulation will continue.
• Someone else will solve our problem.
• We can afford utilities (and have them) – electricity is clean.
• Children will live as long as us.
• US is going to be OK – problems are in other places.
• We assume what we eat is nutritious.
• Medications are going to make us healthy.
• That someone else (government) is working on our problems.
• We assume that we are powerless to make a change.
• Technologies solves ALL problems.
• I will be OK.
• With $ I will be OK.
• If economy grows everything will be OK.
• Someone else will take care of the poor.
• We (I) will thrive if we (I) look out for our(my)self.
• It is THEIR fault if they are poor, etc.
• I can live SEPARATE from THEM!
• I cannot dive into this because I must make a living (survive).
• I cannot help others because I first have to help myself.
• We (I) am “better” than “them” (others).

As you can see there is lots to ponder and much of what we opened of course still is open. If you participated in such a symposium and would like to know what to do after that please visit “The Awakening the Dreamer Initiative“.

One of the great productions that help us explore our assumptions is “THE STORY OF STUFF” with Annie Leonard. Please take the time to watch it at www.storyofstuff.com/. Please comment on this post, I would love to hear what you think…
