May Peace Prevail on Earth”
I will be offering an online program -- a Talkcast -- on Monday, October 27th from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. PCT. If you want to participate, the number to dial in is (724) 444-7444; Call ID 24753# then 1#. Or you can participate on line by using this link.
2. Join MoveOn’s call to call voters in swing states. You can host or attend a “call party” locally and do your part to influence the election outcome. I did this in 2006, and it was a heartening, enjoyable experience.
3. Yes Magazine has offered an enlightening article on what you can do to insure that you get to cast your vote, and that that vote is counted.
Get yourself spiritually geared up for political climate change. Engage with others. Make sure all your voting ducks are lined up. Regardless of the October or even November surprises the forces of fear, intimidation and manipulation may be cooking up, remember “Only love prevails.”
Be cheerful. Be fearless. Let’s do whatever we can to empower this new field of reality so that we all have something to celebrate in November ... and in January.
Join Heartland Security as We Weave a Web of Mass Construction
Of course, the election is only the beginning. We all realize that the evolution we seek involves we the people coming to the realization that we are the leaders we’ve been waiting for. While we can hope that Barack Obama will shift the direction our ship of state is taking, we together must re-create the missing ingredient in “government of, by and for the people”: the people. Or, more accurately, the healthy central voice of we the people. This is the “moral authority” that transcends religion, and affirms the virtues and values that reflect spiritual wisdom and secular ethics, that the 90%+ of us who aren’t sociopaths can agree on.
Meanwhile, we must also build the butterfly economy locally from the grassroots up, as the caterpillar economy deconstructs all around us. We must find respectful forms of communicating with one another despite disagreements, and empower those locally and globally who seek solutions rather than serving themselves by perpetuating the problems.
The Department of Heartland Security is a new website and context for living into the realization that modern science and ancient wisdom both agree on: The next phase of human evolution is the understanding that we are each and all cells in the body of humanity. But having this realization is just the first step. The real question is, how do we live from this new understanding? How does this awareness change our “internal terrain” and our relationship with others? What are the implications for our political and economic system? Most importantly, how do we begin to live this new reality now, in our homes, in our communities, our country and the world.
Heartland Security is the online community for people who get this new evolutionary distinction, and are ready to apply it. Our official launch is January 11, 2009 (One, One, One aka Interdependence Day), and at that time we will release our multimedia ebook, Heartland Security: A New Humanifesto for a Thriving World.
We are currently gathering our Council of Allies, and Profounders -- sponsors who see their missions and visions as resonant with ours. In addition to providing the resource for our start up phase, these Profounders will be honored in the e-book and on our Profounders page, where their words and messages will be seen by thousands -- and hopefully millions -- of eyeballs. Please go here to find out more and to become part of our community at this pre-launch time -- while membership is still free.
If you are interested in being a Profounder Sponsor, please respond by email to this article and write “sponsor” in the subject line. (Click on Contact Author below.)
