Recently my good friend Philea forwarded an email that talked about the December solstice and there was an interesting numerological passage about 2009.  It said:

9 Sept 09, 9:09 am London, UK GMT

There’s very little room for idealism right now.  Practical concerns are pressing, the collective knows it and nationalising banks, the consolidation of the financial systems is just another mechanism to perpetuate debt and further the cause of those holding the strings of characterised marionettes.
The country, America is so needing an evolutionary leap – It’s on the threshold and either it will look back and restore the founding principles with great fervour as it crosses over or it will become a fascist, militaristic, experimental mess.

Depending on how long the enlightened citizens of the US such as yourself are willing to put up with the garbage will determine how long the process will take.

What would happen if 120 million US citizens actually voted and those votes were really counted, tallied? And on 4 November, at let’s say at 9 pm Pacific Time they discover and reveal that Ron Paul has won 70 million of those votes?

Does Congressman Paul become President Paul in a country for the people, by the people in January 2009?

Will America voice their desire to stop the madness, to direct their country towards a more meaningful existence?

These are the practical questions that seem to matter in the larger picture, from very far away….
Sending only hope that the land of my birth will come to its senses.

Zeitgeist Addendum

This version was just released last week, well-timed considering the current state of affairs and the financial terrorism we face around the globe.

Share your thoughts, speak your minds, it is free and brave – essential components for a society to thrive and survive.

Stay tuned, until tomorrow…

White House considers ownership stakes in banks…

More than 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson had this to say about what is happening now:

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
Thomas Jefferson 1802

It’s a BRAVE NEW WORLD – He helped start it with a lot more enlightenment than what we face now.  Heed the prophetic warning People of the World.  What we do about current affairs is a civic and global responsibility.  Mr. Jefferson watched the Bank of England drive the US into debt, to lead the way toward centralised banking.  He looked into the crystal ball of the present and saw the consequences, also known as the future.

America, Vote for Ron Paul on 4 November 2008.

SAVE THE NATION, PRESERVE ITS ORIGINAL INTENTION and PURPOSE.  USE YOUR VOTE WISELY, YOUR VOICE STILL COUNTS DESPITE CENSORSHIP AND THE RESOUNDING EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE YOUR LIBERTIES

Thanks for sending this quote, Dominique, my dear sister and soul friend.

May we all wake up sooner rather than later… stay tuned, more news at 11

Did you wake up to breaking news that the Dow Jones dropped?  Australia has cut lending rates and Europe is expecting a run on the banks? – It’s good, brilliant manipulation really – tell the people what they need to do with blatant subtlety.  It’s all so ridiculous and brilliant, the paradox of our time.

And for those of you panicking, because you do not want to embrace responsible citizenship, heed the information below. Maybe you’ll wake up and find a sixth sense too.

If you had gone into business on the day Jesus was born, and your business lost a million dollars a day, day in and day out, 365 days a year, it would take you until October 2737 to lose one trillion dollars.

The U.S. Congress has done nearly five times this damage to their constituents in a little over seven years and eight months.

People of the World, financial terrorism is so NOT necessary.  Shock and awe have numbed and dumbed too many humans by now, and it only takes a few who are awake to pay it forward and change the momentum.

I say let’s boycott using plastic credit.  New Zealand, my fellow Kiwis what would happen if we didn’t even use our Eftpos card for a week?  Just cash.  What if, for one week, all around the world we stopped spending money?  What would happen?

This is not to say that we don’t buy basic needs such as food, shelter, etc… But maybe that is all we purchase.  Millions of people in conscious objection.  The U.S. is a nation of consumption, it might be good to start the idea there as well.  Seems that greed and consumerism are the ideal bedmates who also feed off of one another just like their ruling sycophants of government and business.

It’s a Brave New World.  Are the global citizens willing and equipped to participate or have they unwittingly resigned and succumbed to the Illusion of smoke and mirrors?  To being content taking Soma and bowing to centralised systems?

I know there are enough of us out there, smart enough, aware enough to assist a new direction, because it’s a waste of energy to attempt the cessation of what is in place.  It will be more effective to carve a new world, one that is brave, intelligent, and non-reliant on Reserve Banks.  That Ladies and Gentlemen is what we need – Abolition of central banking systems, debt-drivers, greedy mongrels afraid of losing so they make you believe that you are losing.  Ridiculous and brilliant.  You see?  The paradox of our time.

These are big topics, large thoughts, broad possibilities, a request to find your sixth sense and to rely on it.  Turn off network news.

Stay tuned for more later.

Till then, W

Till soon, W

Mind the extra gap again, please.  For weeks now the news bombardment and absolutely obvious manipulations of entire global systems has been stewing, waiting to break out, be breaking news.  It still is, however, in the meantime, here is an entree to consider, to think about, and hopefully read through.

When treachery is no longer necessary to mobilise humankind towards greater consciousness, what will the world look like?

Once we travel through the past, even semi-consciously, we can then somewhat intelligently view future possibilities. The past is riddled with evidence revealing our persistent, albeit occasionally unconscious movement to expand our consciousness. Consider what is required to become and be great.  To be remembered and respected.

Today, what is our history going to look like? Who will shape legacies monumental enough to last generations? It certainly won’t be pathetic publicity-mongers such as Paris Hilton. (I think in about 40 years we’ll read a headline that will say, “Whatever happened to the Hilton Girls?” And there will be a photo of two large blonde women wearing mu-mu’s surrounded by their 12 cats and 6 birds 

The 20^th century holds a long list of thinkers, doers, innovateurs: Madame Curie, Nikola Tesla, Aldous Huxley, Edward R. Murrow, Lucille Ball, Leonard Bernstein, and The Beatles. I’m going to sound like a Billy Joel or R.E.M. song in a minute. The list gives you an idea. They gave us legacies; they shifted our lives, culturally, socially, and politically. While living through their respective decades, each was an evolutionary leader with vision. They crossed thresholds and barriers which actually shifted human consciousness. Back to the theme of icons for a second. I have to ask. Who are we creating to show tomorrow’s world?

More than ever, tritely addressed too, corporate tentacles reach across the globe, shifting Earth’s face to pillage her in pursuit of oil, zinc, and gold, while mainstream media feeds the empty recesses amongst masses to consume the packaging and contents of what is mined and sold.

One may argue a case of sustainable energy; however, it is more of reversed sustainability. Motivations and intentions are the fuel for our consciousness; cultivation and innovation raise consciousness to propel us along; while greed and lust for control create more toxic pollutants.

Hence, we have our mythic stories from Mr. Lucas and Mr. Spielberg. Art mimicking life, or is it the other way around? Really, I am serious. What about members of The Jedi, those of us non-muggles, and those of us as the masters and apprentices, to know and use The Force.

My generation is upcoming on their fourth eleven, and two decades ago, this point in time seemed so far away. What kind of world do we want to create along our part of journey? What will be our legacy? We are it, those of us in the Bridge Generation, born 1962 to 1969, (Pluto & Uranus conjunction for us all at varying degrees). We entered our lives knowing that landing on the moon was a given, that fax machines, cellphone conference calls, the internet, space travel, pure intention and raising consciousness are motivations to mobilise humankind. Consider that treachery is no longer required.

I know and recognise the fact we have advanced technologically and in ratio, so did our desire for holistic health, fitness, nature, and the ever present desire to meet Yoda & Han Solo on a planet ten million light years away. We seek outwardly. We move in a spiral, the Earth on her elliptic around the Sun, us along the winding path of our DNA’s evolution. The macrocosm and the microcosm.

Earth and Human. The Universe and the Milky Way.

Life as we dare to imagine it.

Now imagine what the world will look like if we take the knowledge acquired along humankind’s spiral ascent of consciousness and utilise the enlightening jolts we received along the way by adept leaders and manipulated machines.

Would advertising actually become educational? Would government actually be separate from the sacred pulpits of corporate boardrooms? Would the population of insightful leaders and knowledgeable consumers help shift the course of corporate bodies and structures?

What will the world look like when business and government are no longer co-dependent, only interdependent? Laws would need to change, those societal boundaries craftily written and overtaking a human’s ability to behave sensibly and just. The purpose of a civilisation is…

Can anyone write me a summary of key points in a paragraph?

Bytes of information, a constant barrage, and it’s changing twice as fast as we learn it.

What does this say about future capacities?

Till soon, W

It’s been a while, but I have for you a worthwhile proposal.  One that was worth the wait and warrants your time and attention.  Welcome to September 2008, Ladies and Gentlemen.  We are literally on the threshold.  Hopefully these words, written on 7 September 2008 in Wellington, New Zealand will assist the global crossing.

Aldous Revisited

what is it about fantasy that sparks the ideal? is reality so different from what we imagine?

These curious ponderings borne from sensual conversations and encounters, merely ask the questions that may be not far away, just undefined.

If we consider all the fantasies we have –
there are many, and not only limited to the hidden, mysterious cravings we’d
like to explore.

We imagine ideals, for all things societal, all life culturally. Where does this all originate?

and where could this be heading is probably what you are wondering.

Let’s start at the beginning. What is culture?

If you were fortunate to receive an education from a history teacher with a passion for philosophy, you would have received an interpretation quite thorough and metaphysical. Cultural pillars of society and civilisation include: Family/Community, Government, Education, Business, and Spirituality/Religion. As building blocks and mortar to our evolution, culture is our collective engine. What is the culture? With the answer, you have the audience, the marketing angle, the finger on the pulse.

We are all striving to be more in tune with a culture, with collective ideals that structure our abilities to evolve. All pillars, as mentioned above, are then able to communicate messages that either enable or debilitate a collective to create the structure for ideals to manifest or at the very least, for the ideals to breed and incubate.

as individuals we all delve into limitless
possibilities of what could be and once in a while, we tap into what the
collective is thinking and feeling.

What are masses ready for? Who, as the primary fuel for the collective engine, is the mass?

Ah, now to begin. Who are these masses of energy comprising a collective stream of being?

Does not every generation possess a collective ideal to be made manifest based on the
evolutionary cycle that is propelling them forward and upward? It is really important to understand what is happening collectively. Now more than ever, because more of the collective is aware – in tune with what is needed to sustain our evolutionary paths.

This is an ode to all of us born as the bridge generation, 1962 to 1969.

We are the 125 year leap for those borne before and after.

It is up to us to use what we know, to help serve the structures of our culture, to build new forms for the ideals, whenever and wherever needed. Everyone born after 1970 is relying on us, on what we can do as a collective. All those born before 1959 are using us to carry them through, across, over….And as a bonus, we are aging slower so that we can get this work done.

Heed this message, people of this world.

Our time begins.

In January 2009, Pluto officially enters Capricorn, a sign in a most harmonious angle and element to our collective Uranus/Pluto conjunction in Virgo. The next twelve years will be our gateway to connect the collective, to bridge generation gaps. Slowly but surely this is leaking into collective representations. Just look at the married dichotomy of the US electoral candidates. 60’s generation with Barack (b. 1961) & Sarah (b. 1964), being used by those from the 1930’s and early 1940’s as vehicles to get us to where we need to go. Personally, this writer doesn’t think the elders are genuine and truly required in this particular instance.

I was given a brief revelation today by someone born in the mid 70’s, the other end of the bridge. If Barack & Sarah were one ticket, we’d have the ideal.

The cultural pillar of Government is on the verge of possible transformation. All the energies are working in our favour. Here’s one individual’s ideal. What if Barack & Sarah were to run against a ticket of, let’s say…Ron Paul and Bill Bradley?

Or better yet, what if there wasn’t a need for polarity, just consensus governance?

It’s a big thought, a new paradigm.
What would happen, not just in America, but all over the globe if we turned over the twisted forms – unwound all the tangled wires and started again. Hopefully wireless.

What we now call Government is an old concept, yet it is a cultural pillar, necessary to link foundations and
buildings of our civilisations. It certainly needs an update, a rebirth, and our generation those of us born between 1962 and 1969, are the midwives.  (Borrowed from the work of Jean Houston)

I am duly inspired by just the possibility that any of this may in small doses come to be, realise itself and shift the masses and aging paradigms.

We have great foundations, thanks to our enlightened founding fathers.

Our pillars, our culture needs to be rebuilt, refurbished, and strengthened to hold up the new buildings of the generational civilisations to follow.

Think, my fellow citizens.  Give your self time and space to imagine one or two ideals. Take on the responsibility for what starts off as possibility…It always has the potential to be reality.

Till soon, W

Tonight’s topic: NAU

Ladies and Gentlemen, as global citizens becoming more connected through technology and innovation we have limitless opportunities to succeed, to evolve, to unite. The question is, What happens to Sovereignty?

The European Union, the African Union, and soon, the North American Union. Oh, you didn’t know about the African Union? You will notice it now. Awareness of a thing brings greater attention to it.

BBC and The Nation are just a couple of examples using AU and African Union in their reporting. Surely there are millions of global citizens whom aren’t even aware this happened between 2000 and 2002.

Consolidation to centralise anything in life is a single-edged sword. Perish the thought that we will allow centralised blocs of power to dictate our lives as human beings on this planet.

Breaking news update:

There is no imminent threat to your safety, other than your own carelessness.

Centralised governments want you to feel insecure, unsure of your own capabilities because then you will rely on them at an ever increasing rate, in an ever increasing number.

People of the world, we are capable of greater autonomy.

Many citizens are switched on, (not to network news, mind you). They are being curious, asking questions, looking for truth and logic, and understanding. Many are aware that the U.S. has signed an agreement with Canada and Mexico to create the North American Union as of 31 December 2009. This is not far away, 17 months. Considering how fast the last 7 months have vanished, it is imperative that we not wake up on New Year’s Day 2010 and ask ourselves, “How did this happen?” (Reminiscent of the Talking Heads song, Once in a Lifetime) If this comes to fruition, it will be a time of further consolidation as a single currency for Mexico, Canada & the U.S. will be introduced. It’s called the Amero. But you knew this already. Network news won’t report about it, & CNN has mentioned it a few times.

And folks, if McCain or Obama takes an oath in January 2009, you can rest assured either man will be required to follow through on the implementation eleven months later on 31 December 2009.

This is one of the numerous reasons Dr. Ron Paul is needed as President. He is a strong advocate of free markets, free speech, responsible monetary policy, and has my vote for President. Ron Paul wants to maintain a sovereign nation with sound economic and monetary policies which in turn requires a logical return to the gold standard and the eventual dissolution of the Federal Reserve. Dr. Paul, as a 10-term Congressman knows first hand that business and government don’t mix, as I’ve written before in another commentary entitled In the days before Dumbledore, “…, as we know, government and business make for wicked bed partners. The outcome cultivates torrid monetary affairs.”

Which leads to our dominant headline story at the moment here in New Zealand.

Our current Minister of Foreign Affairs Winston Peters has been snagged for dodgy actions with fundraising contributions. Oh, the delight of greed in politics and the media. Mostly owned by our Tasman neighbour, Rupert Murdoch, the printed and broadcast news networks paint convoluted images and thrashing messages to swing mass opinion. All it does is reinforce the point above about government and business.

Now back to our main story.

Where does Ron Paul stand on the NAU? He opposes it. It’s the expansion of socialism.

The seeds of the NAU agreement were planted in NAFTA, followed by secret meetings. Shocking, I know. You can even read about it at wikipedia.

I think this writer is starting to understand the dynamics of the last 7.5 years. Cheney, Carlyle Group and even Condi are the ones creating policies to benefit corporate balance sheets. Not that this is a revelation by any stretch of the imagination. It was a matter of understanding how George Bush the younger fits in to the scheme. It may be that he just shows up when he’s told to and does what his ‘advisors’ say. He is not a businessman, nor is he a statesman. George W is a trust fund baby, mainly incompetent and unmotivated to do anything substantial. Hence, how he became the President all fits in with the larger picture.

However, and this is crucial – all his lacking was the golden bounty for hidden powers behind his embarrassing terms as President. George Jr has been a willing, useful and lucrative pawn for those more adept at manipulation. George can go to sleep every night, blissfully ignorant, because in this writer’s opinion, he isn’t told very much. Ever. I wonder if he actually attends meetings and listens to what is being said. We know he gets paid to wear a suit, wave, sound ludicrous amongst other world leaders while the “real” work happens, and vacation in Crawford, Texas. We also know he’ll wake up on New Year’s Day 2010 without any concern for the loss of ideals, rights and liberties. If the NAU happens

George Jr. was sent to meet with Mexico’s President Felipe Calderon and Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, more than once. Mind you, amidst all it’s secretive encounters, the NAU initiative is now more obvious, and known to be engineered by a group called SPP, Security and Prosperity Partnership.

In light of the medionic language romancing citizens for decades now; there is a disturbing percentage whom are actually conditioned to respond positively to the word ‘security’ – airport security, Homeland Security, safety and security.

Here is the harsh truth my fellow citizens: Security is not found in the arms of your government.

It is essential that this understanding be communicated to All Countries, particularly those in the OECD. If unified, consolidated blocs of economic and legal power determine the strategies of its member states, then we are looking the rear view mirror in the eye.

Kingdoms and fiefdoms lasted only so long before tyranny induced those being ruled to unite and overthrow that which was oppressing them. There are many (?) who would keenly and competently argue that SPP and NAU are good for the U.S. and for the world. Check out how the SPP attempts to dispel myth versus fact. Any citizen with a modicum of intelligence and insight will probably feel their skin crawl in a vain effort of the SPP to sound convincing about their version of what is fact.

I’d like to hear these points, this logic, this debate. It seems that the crashing U.S. economy is part of the necessary steps to introduce the new currency.

The Amero, Ladies and Gentlemen, will be set up to solve the economic and monetary crisis. I’d like to be wrong on this one.

It is this writer’s belief that the responsibility, and ultimately the freedom of citizenry relies on the willingness to speak out, stand firm, keep questioning, and to keep thinking. These are the ways we will determine what is good and right for our speck of a planet amidst this grand universe.

Thanks for listening. Tune in tomorrow, we live in interesting times.

Until soon…
