3/50 Project- If half the employed population
spent $50 each month in locally owned independent businesses, it would generate
more than $42.6 billion in revenue. For every $100 spent locally, $68
returns to the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures.
If you spend that in a national chain, only $43 stays here. Spend it

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. -

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."

Baghdad Burning - ... 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."
