"On Spiritual Ecology"

Wow, It's been quite a while since I have put a new post up here, but then I guess - time being what it is - it's all NOW anyway, and so this is right on time... I was just reading an article, "On Spiritual Ecology" by L. Vaughan-Lee, that my 10th grade English teacher posted on facebook. (She and I happened into each other at a dream conference about 5+ years ago - what a pleasant surprise!). The article pretty much addresses the reason I created this blog, and comes from a more academic background than mine, obviously. I am inspired by this article in its honesty and clarity, and I hope you will be as well. Here is a short excerpt, and I will paste a link below it for you to click on. Enjoy, and please feel free to share your thoughts and impressions! (Be sure to click on to part 2!)

"...we’ve got to change the story or change the dream. We are completely caught by the dream that corporations have created for us to live in. I call it the nightmare of materialism, the dream that grips humanity and people around the world. You have hundreds of millions of people in China and India now being drawn into this nightmare, consuming more stuff as fast as they can. And the planet doesn’t have enough resources for it to unfold. Somehow we have to change the collective dream that holds humanity...."

Wonderful and important read. Thanks so much for sharing. The quote which affected me most deeply was this......

"In spiritual traditions the outer world always reflects changes that take place in the inner dimension. Just as we speak of reaching an outer environmental tipping point where we are in unchartered territory from which we cannot return, we are approaching an inner tipping point of losing access to the sacred substance in creation.

What is this Blog?

Last fall (2009), I had a vision of a new earth, simply awaiting our intentions in order to manifest. It is here all the time, like in another dimension, and we simply must collectively envision it and focus our attention. Some days I think we have already shifted to this new Earth and it just looks the same, so people don't know it's new. We can write new rules, but many simply conform to rules of reality as they have always known. We can make new rules, or approach the world in new ways.

This blog is a place to create a collective vision for the new Earth. I imagine so many people adding their vision here that we reach a tipping point, and a shift happens in our multidimensional reality. I don't know what will happen, but I know there will be great power and grace when many people - young and old, fresh and wise - combine our visions. Where we place our attention, the world is activated. Let's make sure that we focus our attention first on love and beauty, and see how creative we can be in this manifestation.

Please join in creating this vision - this new, now perfect world!

How Does This Work?

Each of us brings something unique and special into the world, and in embodying and expressing our true soul's gift, we contribute to a perfect new world in each moment. This can mean so many different things to so many different people.

This is a place where you can contribute in your unique and special way, and where we can all join together in sharing our energy and attention in creating the world as it is in this everchanging now moment.

Take some time and meditate or think on what your part of the Perfect Now World looks like. On what do you focus your energy and attention and thus increase and enliven?
