"Many women who do not dress modestly lead young men astray and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes." The Raw Story

Awakening Mind Org – Essays on Creating Global Consciousness.

  -   Essays on Creating Global Consciousness.  In one way or another, we have seen howe people have lived an ego–centered life. the different religious teachings agree that this egocentric life is the source of diverse human problems. The great world teachers through the ages have attempted to show that the essence of being human is in overcoming the ego–centered way. This can be seen, for example, deep in the Judaic tradition with the ultimate command to love God with all our heart and all our being. That injunction calls upon humans to open themselves in the deepest way to place the Divine Presence first and foremost in all life. This calls for a deep re–centering that transforms our being. This revolutionary re–centering in our inner most Self demands that we overcome and ego–centered view that places the ego consciousness as the center of our human reality.”


Expanding Human Consciousness -  Humans can allow other entities--personalities or ideas--to control them to varying degrees. If they allow other persons or concepts to take dominant control of their thoughts and actions, they lose the ability to think or act autonomously. As a personality or an ideology takes progressive control of them, they become possessed (an obsessive, a bigot, an ideologue) and finally end in hysteria--the manifestation of self-limiting or self-destructive tendencies.

 

Currently, possession and hysteria are present in much of the world's population. We see these phenomena most clearly in the fixed ideas and obsessive belief-systems of masses of people world-wide who are oblivious to the destruction of their lives by politicians and corporations. The phenomena of possession and hysteria are most evident in the American masses who have lost the ability to see what is happening in America and the world.

 

As humans become progressively possessed by destructive personalities and ideologies, they ultimately end in suicidal behavior: voting for and supporting people who are deliberately destroying them.

 

Evolution’s Next Step - Plato saw the oral, non-literate state of consciousness as a crippling and poisoning of the mind, the creation of a false "reality" which individuals are made to believe in. In our current TV-movie-pop-music culture a total counterfeit "reality" is created, people do not see what is really going on--only what the capitalist media tells them is happening.

    

This is why Homer Simpson is a revealing icon for the contemporary retrogression to a state of "exuberant ignorance." Homer is not only a TV character--one step from reality, he is also a cartoon character--another step removed. The fact that people watch this cartoon character means that they have become entranced by a shadow on Plato's cave, a phantom specter. They are losing any taste for genuine reality.

 

"When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk: culture-death is a clear possibility." 

Neil Postman, Amusing Ourselves to Death


Healing Our World "...collectively held unconscious beliefs shape the world's institutions, and are at the root of institutionalized oppression and inequity....By deliberately changing the internal image of reality, people can change the world. - Willis Harman, PATHS TO PEACE

 

How to Improve Your Information (the Win/Lose switch!)


The New Enlightenment - "The New Enlightenment movement will explore the metaphysical and social roots of the Enlightenment principles. Because these foundational ideas are embodied in such documents as the Declaration of Independence, the Preamble to the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, America and other industrialized nations still enjoy important freedoms."

 

  • Struggling against the world of delusion and tyranny and championing the world of truth and reality
  • Engaging in social-political analysis, to determine how the order or disorder of a society shapes its citizens' minds and souls
  • Safeguarding our minds and our souls by engaging in philosophy, in the sense of searching assiduously for the truth: what is really happening in the world
  • Not advocating hatred or harm to those persons whose actions we expose as destructive; making clear how their actions are causing human suffering, misery, even death, but while denouncing their vile deeds to the utmost, retaining an understanding of and connection with them as fellow members of evolving humanity.

7th Fire -  "Welcome to the 7th fire. We are here at the time of "The Seventh fire" in 2010 and it really seems that the world has gone mad.  Since this website started back in 2001 we have helped you see those behind the curtain and have lifted the veils of illusion off for so many people....."     "Maybe 'freedom' is simply taken by not 'buying' into a consciousness anymore that we deserve all the 'goodies' we want at the cost of raping the earth, and using humans as slaves to produce for our consumption. Maybe 'freedom' is finally understanding that each one of us is responsible for our own health, and fighting to keep the rights to search for our way to do that in any way we chose, whether through standard medical practices, or alternatives which go back to ancient times. Maybe 'freedom' is understanding how our rights, our "God given rights" have been taken from us and it is time for all of us to stand up and say "No More"! Maybe freedom means different things to different people, but to breathe the clean fresh air of 'freedom' means to break free, to think for ourselves, to cast away some belief systems, to not be afraid to step out of the box that we have been put into."

The World Can’t Wait -  The World Can’t Wait organizes people living in the United States to repudiate and stop the fascist direction initiated by the Bush Regime, including: the murderous, unjust and illegitimate occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan; the global “war of terror” of torture, rendition and spying; and the culture of bigotry, intolerance and greed. This direction cannot and will not be reversed by leaders who tell us to seek common ground with fascists, religious fanatics, and empire. It can only be possible by the people building a community of resistance - an independent mass movement of people - acting in the interests of humanity to stop, and demand prosecution, of these crimes.

... I'll meet you 'round the bend my friend, where hearts can heal and souls can mend...    From 2003 to 2007, these intelligent and heartfelt writings give a glimpse of one Iraqi's life and will stir you. An excerpt about his/her family fleeing to Syria:  "The decision that we would each take one suitcase was made by my father."   "Packing that suitcase was one of the more difficult things I’ve had to do. It was Mission Impossible: Your mission, R., should you choose to accept it is to go through the items you’ve accumulated over nearly three decades and decide which ones you cannot do without. The difficulty of your mission, R., is that you must contain these items in a space totaling 1 m by 0.7 m by 0.4 m. This, of course, includes the clothes you will be wearing for the next months, as well as any personal memorabilia- photos, diaries, stuffed animals, CDs and the like."   "I packed and unpacked it four times."
