The world will become peaceful, beautiful and abundant IF ....

Check out the fables that OP has posted in this thread, absolute gold!

Money, not as debt, not as equivalent value, but rather as GIFT...

Well, in order for an economy to be as gift economy, alive, we would have to remove the corpse aspect, deadness, from Corp-o-ration/nation

Thank you
I know I have posted this before - this is my particular favorite.



There was once a city of concrete with very few green areas, and the whole district was covered by a roof and sealed off from the exterior by thick walls. The inhabitants were small stunted humans who stooped and walked slowly, their eyes turning to the ground in great humility as if they recognised having committed a major crime and were doing everything in their power to make amends. And indeed, it was the general consensus that they HAD actually committed a crime of great proportions, for their leaders had built the roof over their heads to protect it from the air which had been polluted and poisoned by all sorts of human actions and waste products.

For this, all inhabitants were genuinely sorry. They realised that together they had destroyed “nature” and that it was now their responsibility to nurture it. Thus, everyone was greatly encouraged to look after a number of pot plants, sending them love every day. Those with knowledge about plants warned that these remaining species were also severely weakened and that they would not survive strong exposure to light and would suffer from over-watering and from repotting.

Sometimes the inhabitants would take their pot plants for a walk, and if they wished to venerate them they would take them to the GARDEN OF NATURE ADORATION where – it was felt – there was a higher vibration due to the accumulation of plants. At the very centre of the garden was the trunk of an enormous tree. The inhabitants were given to understand that the tree was now dead but that it had once been a flourishing example of “nature” in the old days when everything was still intact and when the air was still pure.

Every day, people would pour into the garden bearing their pot plants, remembering the once glorious tree, admitting their guilt and stating their intent to make amends. They prayed, they sang, determined to do their very best to rectify the wrong. They determined that they would live humbly, with few possessions and demands, for the collective good. They praised and thanked their leaders for building the roof at a very critical period in their history so long ago, which had preserved their existence and which had avoided the complete obliteration of their species.

The huge tree trunk was surrounded by a circular bench. Here, residents were allowed to sit in reverence and silent meditation, holding their pot plants on their knees. Among those who did this often, a certain sensibility developed. They noticed that a certain power was emanating from the trunk of the tree and that it transferred to their backs as a very slight tingling sensation. This was very disturbing, to say the least, as it had been understood and maintained for centuries that the tree was DEAD. It would have amounted to sacrilege to mention this to anyone else, yet this dedicated group of people who noticed this and who were able to trust each other with their reservations and feelings met daily at the tree. They nodded to each other and knew intuitively (as the tree had awakened their intuitive abilities) that they were all aware of the same phenomenon, of the secret power of the tree.

These people were – in turn – observed by watching officials, and one day a fence was put up around the tree trunk to prevent people from approaching it closely. The sign said that the fence was necessary “TO BETTER PRESERVE OUR ANCIENT HERITAGE AND IN RECOGNITION OF OUR GUILT AND NEED TO DO PENANCE”. Most visitors nodded their heads sadly in agreement. But the group of sensitives had different feelings. They were forced to go “underground” to discuss what was going on. They did this literally, meeting in an old disused cellar. And it was here that they discovered a piece of TREE ROOT emerging from the wall.

After careful examination and experimentation, they pronounced this to be the living root of a living tree. Secretly, they provided the root with water which the root drank up immediately, as if suffering from a hundred years of thirst. The group continued to feed the root and to encourage the tree to GROW. This in itself would have been considered heresy, as the general rule for pot plants was that quick growth would kill, and thus they always had to be contained inside the same pot. The idea that a pot plant needed “repotting” was condemned as harmful superstition.

And so the root grew. When the group visited the garden, they noticed hair cracks in the paving, and they looked at each other with knowing glances. The cracks widened daily, and soon there was another notice which said: “THE GARDEN IS TO BE PRESERVED AS A MONUMENT TO NATURAL BEAUTY AND CAN THEREFORE NO LONGER BE EXPOSED TO DETREMENTAL HUMAN CONTACT AND POLLUTION”. Most visitors nodded sadly when they saw this sign, and they stood at the locked gates and sent love to the garden.

But still the roots continued to grow. On the streets, cracks started to appear, and road maintenance suddenly became very busy “CORRECTING STRUCTURAL DAMAGE DUE TO DISREPAIR”. But this was so widespread that it came to the stage where it was impossible to hide or suppress any longer. People wandering through the streets were astonished to suddenly find plants and then bushes sprouting through the pavement. This was truly wondrous for those who stopped long enough to feel the beautiful uplifting energy which emanated from the plants. Others rushed away in fright, for this was an impossible phenomenon which did not fit into their worldview. Officials attempted to eliminate the bushes during the darkness of night, but with time, they were observed by the inhabitants, some of whom broke down to see such beauty being destroyed. They could not understand why officials were desecrating the nature which they had so long been protecting, or so they said.

Chaos ensued. The roots were now growing at a tremendous rate, especially as the group of sensitives were now openly encouraging the inhabitants to provide them with water, and the response grew by the hour. Buildings were now starting to collapse. Some rejoiced in this fantastic development which showed them that nature was truly ALIVE IN ALL ITS GLORY, AND OTHERS LAMENTED THE DESTRUCTION OF THEIR HOMES. THEY CURSED THE ROOTS AND HACKED THEM OFF WHEREVER THEY COULD. BUT THERE WAS NO POINT IN THIS AS THE GROWTH MOMENTUM WAS SO GREAT. ONE ROOT CUT OFF WAS REPLACED BY SEVEN. IN THE END, THE VERY ROOF OVER THEIR HEADS BEGAN TO CRACK, and when they noticed this, the crowds stormed the gates of their huge roofed compound, overthrowing the guards there who kept watch, and burst beyond the perimeters of their known world, expecting to be met by poisoned air and bare, blackened countryside.

But instead of this, the people discovered lush and abundant fields, and as they looked back at their former grey concrete home they saw the enormous tree at its centre. It was very much alive and it towered into the sky with an enormous green crown. It was then that the people realised that they had been SLAVES FOR CENTURIES LIVING A LIE, SUBDUED BY FALSELY ACCREDITED GUILT, ALLOWING THEIR RULERS TO LIVE IN PARADISE AND ABUNDANCE OUTSIDE THE WALLS OF THE PRISON THEY HAD ERRECTED.

I really like this one too.

Beautiful.

Thank you for writing these.

I have tried to answer this 3 times - seems something is up ...
4th try ... the second part is now the post blow ....


Thank you for this. I do see any sort of "exchange mechanism" as an interim stage. The ideal is giving up money altogether, and by that I do not mean "cashless". It would necessitate very high spiritual standards, i.e.. everyone would want to contribute a number of hours a day to the running of society, and no-one would ever take more than they need. In this way, it would function.

I have posted this text before also - but again, so relevant if we are looking at how things could work BETTER in the future: (a long text - I have permission to post)

If you do not need to pay for a stamp, your LOVE LETTERS may be long and arduous. You may write stacks of letters. You may write novels. You may compose oratorios for your loved ones far away AND SEND THEM THROUGH WHATEVER MEDIUM AT NO CHARGE. Also, DISTANCE will be reduced to a mere nothing since the high costs of travelling long distances WILL NOT EXIST. Thus there will be nothing preventing you from contacting or visiting distant relatives and friends UNLESS YOU CHOOSE TO MAINTAIN THAT DISTANCE.

This will be a good benchmark for the quality of your relationships and whether you REALLY WISH TO MAKE AN EFFORT AT KEEPING CONTACT. Distance is not actually the issue: THE DESIRE TO CONNECT IS THE ISSUE. Presently, high prices can be a good excuse for not calling or not visiting or not caring. Note that the eradication of the money system will, in effect, TERMINATE DISHONESTY and STRENGTHEN AND IMPROVE THE LINKS YOU VALUE.

More of the "money" text which would not post properly ...

If you can no longer show your gratitude to waiters or waitresses or other providers of services in the form of payment or tips, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW YOUR GRATITUDE? You will not be able to simply slap a bill on the counter and run off to your next important assignment or meeting. You will learn to GENUINELY APPRECIATE ALL ABUNDANCE – whether in the form of products or service – WHICH IS BESTOWED ON YOU. You will be so HUMBLED by the experience that you will initially just sit in amazement, feeling at a loss, thinking you have arrived in paradise. This, especially, will be the experience of those accustomed to living with very little, as on so many areas of your earth. And indeed, this is where you will all have arrived, since a moneyless (NOT CASHLESS) society will be PARADISE FOR ALL.

Later, when you are well acquainted with and adjusted to the new system, you will reminisce about the era of money. You will realise the absurdity of paying money for a bunch of flowers (you will realise the even greater absurdity of paying a plane and pilot to bring you those flowers from exotic climes, preventing the native population from growing food instead). You will realise the absurdity of discussing your finances for hours, the absurdity of fighting over wills or inheritances, and the absurdity of asking for a rise. You will raise YOURSELVES above all these discussions and move into a new framework based on the VALUES OF THE HEART. The only thing you will have in your BANK ACCOUNT, with which you can “pay” others, is helpfulness, generosity, love, gratitude, understanding, a listening ear or an offer of assistance. There will be less that you HAVE TO DO, and more awareness of your own CHOICE OF PURSUIT. Yet always must you be aware of the cosmic law: what you give, you will receive.

This system will only work if all contribute to the BEST of their abilities. Laziness will be frowned upon. There will be no such thing as being OUT OF WORK. All will be urged to develop what it is that they do BEST, and bestow this on others. This leads to a continuous CIRCLE AND CYCLE OF UPLIFTMENT.

The “levelling” of money means the levelling of society. All will be equal. No one will have MORE MONEY or LESS MONEY than anyone else. It will no longer be possible to purchase the best lawyers or the best caterers or the best (and most expensive) services for exclusive personal use. The providers of services (EVERYONE WILL BECOME A PROVIDER OF SERVICES) will themselves decide WHERE THEIR SERVICES ARE BEST PLACED. LIP SERVICE WILL BE A THING OF THE PAST. IT WILL BE REPLACED BY REAL SERVICE.

If you do not have to pay for food, will this change your habits? If those providing the food decide it is in everyone’s best interest to produce healthy and morally viable (NO KILLING OR EXPLOITATION OF ANIMALS) products only, will you protest? Will you attempt to continue your addictions? Or, if you have been on the receiving end of very little nutrients, will you suddenly go overboard and launch into massive overdoses? These will be the initial difficulties, yet we say that the overall and overriding wish to live modestly, sustainably and healthily – a trait which everyone will learn to develop and adhere to – will bring balance and prosperity.

And what about your other addictions? Games, drugs, sex? Do you think that these will be provided “free” for your continued “pleasure” and self-abuse? Do you imagine that prostitutes will of their own accord continue, or will they prefer to reject that which is alien to their very nature and which they practised as a last resort? Will you need drugs to get a high? If the fact that everything is available and “free” is not enough to make you happy, you will have to confront the real reasons for your behaviour and your unhappiness. In such cases, you will be strongly reminded of your own divinity.

Remember the feeling you get when you receive an unexpected present, or when you receive something for “free”. Even if it is only a tiny gesture, you are filled with exhilaration and gratitude. How great will this feeling be, Beloveds, when you live IN GRATITUDE every moment of the day: when you experience this in ALL AREAS OF YOUR LIFE, WHEN ALL IS “FREE” and present IN ABUNDANCE. You will, in effect, DANCE ETERNALLY.

Throughout much of your world, your style of living DEPENDS on how much money you have at your disposal. So, WHAT WILL YOU DEPEND ON ONCE MONEY HAS GONE? It will be your KINDNESS, your RESOURCEFULNESS, your CREATIVITY, your ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE, your READINESS TO CO-OPERATE WITH OTHERS, and above all, YOUR LACK OF GREED (All new subjects to be taught in your new schools). You will take ONLY THAT WHICH SUFFICES. YOU WILL SHARE. You will not hoard surpluses unless this is for a specific project to benefit others. You will distribute resources and materials and skills freely, as needed. You will not waste the resources of the earth who loves you dearly and whom you have treated with the utmost disdain and cruelty.

You will not produce faulty or low quality articles, since this would not serve HUMANKIND. AND SERVING HUMANKIND IS YOUR DIVINE GOAL. With your eradication of money, your concepts of “profit” and “loss” will go out of the window. The squandering practice of obsolescence (deliberate and in-built corruption and programming of goods, involving future breakdowns to encourage the repurchase of same to ensure continuing “profits” and “jobs”) will be eradicated. There will be no point to this. This means that ALL BUSINESSES will have to change their mind-set – initially, a difficult undertaking. Yet you will get used to the idea of asking yourselves WHO WILL RECEIVE THE BENEFIT OF THIS PRODUCT? And HOW CAN I PRODUCE EXCELLENCE? And HOW CAN I COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS TO PRODUCE EXCELLENCE, IRRESPECTIVE OF NATION OR CREED? And HOW CAN I IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF MY WORK SO THAT IT LAST FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE?

ALL THIS WILL YOU LEARN. And you will rejoice in the certain knowledge that you are taking part in a huge movement to help everyone, including yourself, instead of fighting to keep alive through the sale of shady, dubious, poisonous, superfluous, useless and shoddy produce. This will LIFT YOUR SPIRITS enormously. You will know the ULTIMATE VALUE of your work. You will be loved and respected for your contribution. No one shall be more or less than anyone else. The only way to earn credit or stature in the eyes of others will be the extent and depth and intensity of your SINCERE CONTRIBUTION.

Will you, on the DAY OF NO MONEY, continue to produce weapons? Is this an occupation which will increase your esteem in the eyes of ALL? This is the new criterion – to benefit ALL. Will killing ALL be part of your agenda? Will you choose war, or will you choose peace? The “defence” industry shall change into a UNIVERSAL SUPPORT INDUSTRY. It will change from an industry supporting FEAR to an industry spreading LOVE. It will not destroy. LIKE ALL OTHER INDUSTIRES, IT WILL NURTURE.

The world will become peaceful, beautiful and abundant
IF WE REMEMBER TO LOOK BEHIND US

Trumpets sounded everywhere, indicating that the ruling sovereign of the land had something important to say. His army of soldiers, located a long way away, was headed by a very enthusiastic general. As soon as he heard the call he shouted majestically to his men: ONWARD EVER ONWARD TOWARDS OUR MENTOR AND KING, and he held his sword high and led the army along the road to the palace.

The journey was long and hard, yet the general was determined to overcome all dangers and fatigue. After several days of travelling, the palace was in sight. When the general came into the king’s presence he fell onto his knees immediately and swore his allegiance. The king asked him to rise and to turn round, asking what he saw there. NOTHING, said the general. He realised, with great astonishment, that he was completely alone. His army of men was no longer following him.

The king put a hand on his shoulder and cautioned him with these words: I AM NOT YOUR FOCAL POINT. I AM NOT THE DESTINATION ON YOUR MAP. I AM YOUR CONSTANT COMPANION. I AM YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS WHEN YOU WALK. GO BACK, WALK CONSCIOUSLY AND ASSIST YOUR BRETHREN.

The general retraced his steps: on each stage of the return journey, he discovered a few of the men who had belonged to his army. Some had thirsted for water and had fainted in the heat, their throats so parched that they could not speak not make their plight known. Others had followed him out of fear, and chose to leave when he was not looking. Yet others followed him loyally, but decided they were too unworthy to join him within the gates of the palace. Others saw him as a father, but revolted when he took on the role of fanatical leader. Some had led mutinies. Some had disappeared to look after ailing loved ones.

Thus the general learnt much about others and much about himself. He decided to go on a pilgrimage of the land he was living in, in order to learn even more and to serve others. He took on the guise of a poor travelling stranger of no particular status, with no particular destination on his map, yet he was always guided by the telepathic wisdom of the king, who was his constant unseen companion.

IF WE TALK TO EACH OTHER

A valley lay between two very tall mountains. On the valley floor was a forest of trees and shrubs, but apart from a few which rose above the rest, they all had the appearance of being withered and stunted. This was due to a very strong relentless wind which descended from the top of the mountain on the right and on the left. Only the sturdiest of plants were able to withstand this simultaneous attack from both sides. There were hardly any new seedlings because they were periodically forced to the ground.

A rider on a horse appeared in the forest one day and was astounded to see the damaged condition of the vegetation. He stayed there for a while to observe what was going on, and he noticed that the destructive winds descended in a very regular way from both mountain tops, so he decided to climb them both.

At the top of the mountain on the right, he discovered a very dedicated team of people activating an enormous pair of bellows. They worked in shifts so that wind was continually pumped into the valley. The rider asked why: WE LOVE NATURE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE they replied. OUR LEADERS HAVE TOLD US THAT THE PLANTS NEED WIND SO THAT THEIR SEEDS ARE WELL SCATTERED.

At the top of the mountain on the left, the rider found another very dedicated team of workers, also working in shifts to keep a similar pair of bellows providing wind for the valley. Again, the rider asked why: WE LOVE NATURE MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE they replied. OUR LEADERS HAVE TOLD US THAT WIND IS NEEDED CONSTANTLY SO THAT THE OLD LEAVES WILL DROP AND MAKE WAY FOR THE NEW.

On hearing this the rider invited both groups down into the forest to see what was going on. Some refused to do this, as their loyalty to the cause prevented them from leaving their posts. Those who sensed the rider’s great distress decided to follow him down the mountain. When they learnt about the effects of the constant wind from both directions on their beloved trees, they collapsed and cried, knowing that their lack of curiosity and blind allegiance had contributed to this destruction.

100% Y'shua summed it up in the two greatest commandments: Love YHWH your elohim and love your neighbour. If everyone did that, the world would indeed become peaceful, beautiful and abundant.

Thank you, elegant walnut (GREAT NAME!)

Love is indeed the answer. And it is so simple. But for many on the planet, this statement that loving one's neighbour and all of DVINE CREATION seems like an impossible task, in face of all the destruction, corruption, violence etc. They can perhaps relate to loving those around them, in their families and circles of friends, but often it does not go beyond that. Love for the environment/our earth is increasing in some, but the majority do not take it any further. Loving enemies is also a difficult concept.

This is why I think it is important to try and spell out HOW TO LOVE, and what this actually means in our daily lives. Do we love and appreciate the wood or the stones or the tiles we walk on? Do we love the grass? Do we love the environment so much that we would never dream of allowing our baker to pack our buns in a plastic/paper bag? Does our love extend to other countries where war rages or where drought is continuous or where water is polluted? All these questions have the purpose of expanding our CIRCLE OF LOVE, and urge us to reflect upon that which is not yet included in this circle.

Thank you again for your statement.

IF WE REALISE WHAT EFFECT WE ARE HAVING ON OTHERS

A long queue of people stood waiting in front of a simple door. They were all very tense as they had no idea what was awaiting them, but they knew it would be a monumental learning experience. One by one, they were ushered in.

It was turn for one woman to enter, and she found herself at the end of a huge hall full of people. As she walked in, all eyes turned towards her. Nothing was said. She felt a rush of great apprehension because she recognised EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THE ROOM. They had all touched her life some time in the past, but this was not the focus now. The reason for being there was for her to experience HOW SHE HAD TOUCHED THEM.

The woman moved very slowly along a long central red carpet. As she did so she realised that this was THE HALL OF TRUTH WHERE EVERYTHING IS REVEALED. It was not possible for her to overlook someone, to avoid someone, or to invent some excuse to look in the opposite direction. She was forced to LOOK EVERYONE IN THE EYE. And as she did so, everyone responded truthfully. If the woman had treated them well, they smiled. If she had ignored them or treated them disrespectfully, they glared. If she had actively degraded them, they stared malevolently. If she had loved them, they fell upon her in embrace.

At the end of the red carpet was a chair where her Creator sat. She threw herself at his feet, but he bade her to rise saying MY CHILD: I HAVE SEEN AND FELT ALL THE FEELINGS YOU HAVE CREATED IN OTHERS, INCLUDING IN YOURSELF. YOUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS ARE MERELY A REFLECTION OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH ME, AS I AM INSEPERABLE FROM YOU, AND I AM INSEPERABLE FROM THEM. PROCEED WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE INTO THE NEW WORLD.

Then the woman was shown the way out through one of many doors at the back of the hall, and the person at the head of the queue outside was ushered in to take his turn at walking the hall of truth.

IF WE DROP OUR RIGID RULES AND SUPERSTITIONS

A castle stood on the very top of a huge rock in the middle of a valley surrounded by mountains. It was so high that it was impossible to see what – if anything – was going on below. No one quite remembered why or how they came to live within these walls, or who had built the castle originally. To the castle’s inhabitants, life was completely normal. They followed certain traditions and rituals, and obeyed certain rules.

One of these rules pertained to the treatment of water, which was considered sacred. It appeared miraculously at the bottom of the castle’s very very deep well, was brought ceremoniously to the surface each day, and was stored in a tank like a large barrel. A row of taps was situated along the barrel so that the people could simultaneously place their cups beneath the taps, and ritually draw off exactly one cup of water at specified times of the day. The source of the water was not known, and it was thought that these rigid customs would ensure gratitude for the water and encourage it to keep appearing. It was clear to the people that there was some sort of mystery involved here, as water did of course appear as rain from the sky in order to feed their vegetables, grown in the castle grounds, but rain fell at unusual and irregular times, which they felt was very unsettling. They all took a vow to never drink rainwater.

In times of great rain scarcity, when their vegetables failed and when hunger was prevalent, the people relied even more heavily on their daily water. Some secretly started to use a larger cup, or to siphon off water at undesignated times, and great discussions and conflict arose. The cup of one man was discovered sitting on a window ledge. The man was hoping to catch rain in it, and he was verbally attacked by the others and made responsible for the diminishing water supply. Rationing became even stricter.

By this time, everyone in the castle was on the point of physical collapse and they wondered if they would survive. They also wondered whether they were alone in this world, as they had never seen any living creatures apart from insects. One day they looked towards the skies and saw a white bird. This astounded them and filled them with great hope, so much so that they even contemplated the idea of venturing out of the castle in order to investigate.

Great preparations were made. Spears and daggers were polished. The remaining water rations were carefully packed, and they opened the gates which had remained closed for many centuries and walked the long long road down into the valley. After many hours of walking, they descended into a lush green plain. They wondered in amazement at the plant growth and trees. They collapsed in shock to see rivers and streams criss-crossing the land in abundance. They fell down in fright before tall smiling people who greeted them. They cowered and screamed and fainted when they saw that these people cupped their hands together and drank from the streams whenever they wanted. They learnt that rain and drinking water all came from the same Source, and that this Source was inexhaustible.

After a period of getting to know each other, the castle inhabitants listened to the stories of the tall smiling people about how they lived and worked and worshipped. And the tall smiling people listened in earnest to the castle inhabitants who related the ways they had found to live together within the restrictive castle walls. From that time on, they were as ONE: the door of the castle remained forever open, and all were free to visit and learn from each other.

IF WE REMEMBER TO LOOK IN THE MIRROR

What is the best focus for our upward spiritual journey and for the “ascent” of humankind at this point? One answer may be the following: it is critical to conceive of our journey as a joint journey, as opposed to one in constant isolation, removing ourselves from all things unpleasant and seemingly irrelevant to ourselves, for EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED: and all groups (and in this case the global population can be seen as a group) move forwards at the rate of the slowest member of the group. WE NEED EACH OTHER to progress further.

Imagine an ISLAND OF MIRRORS, which is a learning centre for people of all nationalities, cultures, religions, ages and sexes. The small children go to MIRROR SCHOOL, which means that whenever they encounter problems with someone else, or land in a conflict, they are gently ushered by their superiors to take out their pocket mirror and place it in front of the person who annoyed them.

In this way, they learn to see that they themselves had issues to deal with. And in this way, they also learn that anger directed towards themselves is not always justified, and that they were just acting as the “sounding board” for someone else’s learning.

The young adults on this island go about their studies and their work with joyful hearts, great humour and camaraderie, as they have already internalised this process, and they have few, if any conflicts.

The adult teachers are gracious and wise, but still wear small mirror pendants around their necks in order to remind them – should they feel the slightest nuance of impatience or annoyance – of the importance of this principle.

IF WE TEACH IN A WAY WHICH CAN BE RECEIVED

A very large white ship was travelling slowly through steep gorges. Despite its size, it could hardly be seen to the majority. They did not dare to venture as far as the precipice, and if they did, they were very perturbed by the sight of the very narrow and dangerous path leading to the river banks. This was the sort of path that once you started to descend, it was clear that it was nearly impossible to climb up again due to its steepness and due to the fact that it consisted manly of loose stones. So those who heard the sounding of the ship’s horn, and felt irresistibly but inexplicably drawn to it, followed intuition and climbed down. The others continued with daily life, hearing the horn from time to time in the distance, but not paying it much attention.

Those who boarded the ship were welcomed with open arms. The owners had painted the words LOVE, HONESTY, RESPECT, GRATITUDE and DIVINE GUIDANCE on the sides of the ship along the water-line. Meditation sessions took place at night on the deck, after which everyone lay down with blankets and watched the stars which glittered and changed colour and sent down energy.

During the day, meetings were held. Some of the meditators on board were capable of leaving their physical bodies behind and travelling back to their home towns to observe what was going on, and how susceptible people were to the higher vibrations of love. They discovered that some were very unhappy, suspecting there was more to life than their daily drudge. The meditators returned to the ship with the advice to continue sounding the horn to alert all those wishing to take part in this mission.

The ship continued to sail. Some people on board became impatient. They talked to the captain and told him to sail faster, or to sound the horn louder, or to send more obvious signs out to the people in the towns, but it was decided that these measures would have no effect because the townspeople would not respond and would hide in fear. Thus the ship continued, but hid also. Its movement was paused frequently due to several lochs along the way.

At the end of a long slow journey, the ship arrived in a wide estuary and then the open sea. Here, there were no more steep paths to climb to reach the communities on the shore. Effortlessly, the meditators stepped off the ship and into crowds of people who has gathered there, wondering where the ship came from, and the meditators immediately set up teaching groups in order to impart their knowledge and inspire their new-found students with ways to change their lives for the benefit of all.

IF WE SEND OUR POSITIVE ENERGY TO TROUBLED AREAS

A huge round map of the world lay on a hilltop, but this was not made out of paper. It was true three-dimensional representation and showed the exact location of all momentary severe problems. These included weak porous crust, danger zones due to shifting tectonic plates, volcanoes on the brink of explosion, areas with a high concentration of crime, manipulative power centres, war zones, refugee camps and regions where FEAR prevails. The centre of the map was the North Pole, and all countries spread out from this point, so that the South Pole was not actually a point but the circumference of the circle.

A great crowd had gathered around the map of the world, drawn to it by a very strong desire to support earth in her transformation and bring light to her troubled areas. It was night, the atmosphere was very solumn and ceremonious, and the map of the world lay in darkness. The moving tectonic plates were visible in that the boundaries and fissures glowed red. Dark miniature clouds hug above other troubled regions.

All the observers were carrying a small tea light. They closed their eyes and concentrated, sensing intuitively where their particular light was most needed. Those who stood at the perimeter of the earth map lead the way, summoning up their courage and stepping onto the map towards their chosen location. Then they stepped off the map again and moved towards the very back of the crowd, allowing others to step forward. In the end, the whole world was a sea of small flickering lights which in turn were still connected to the meditators who had placed them there, by a thread of gold leading from the candle to the third eye in their forehead. Thus, the intent to assist certain areas had been ascertained, and the scene was set in anticipation of the HAND OF DIVINTY ASSISTING THAT PROCESS, IT BEING IN ALIGNMENT WITH DIVINE WILL FOR THE PLANET.

Suddenly a very strong and concentrated beam of light descended from above with a roar, piercing the map at the centre, exactly on the North Pole. The noise grew louder and louder as this beam expanded like an ever-increasing spotlight. This eventually grew so large that the entire world map was bathed in its light. Not stopping there, it continued to expand until the huge surrounding crowd also received the benefit of its glow.

The beam of light stopped as suddenly as it had begun, but its influence and huge influx of energy had been felt by all. The small tea candles now had enormous flames, illuminating the earth’s surface completely and dispersing all dark clouds. Now, there was complete silence, and the onlookers fell onto their knees with gratitude and fell into deep meditation.

IF ALL OUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE BALANCED

A small shabby travelling circus in a distant country was unpacking at a new location. The bear-tamer was training a large old bear with a stumbling gait and dishevelled fur. To make it “dance” on two legs, the trainer hung a carrot on a string and dangled it in front of the bear’s nose. The bear was immediately hypnotised by the carrot and followed it wherever it went in the hope of getting its next meal. It was only after a long time passed, that the trainer actually allowed the bear to get hold of the carrot. On finding that the carrot did not satisfy his hunger, the bear was extremely disappointed.

In his anger, the bear ran off to the forest where he discovered a boy in a clearing. The boy offered him food, and the bear was faced with a dilemma. He was so hungry by now that he could have eaten the boy in one bite, which would be more satisfying than eating the food the boy offered him. On the other hand, maybe the boy would become his friend, and provide him with food on a regular basis.

The bear decided to graciously accept the food, and he and the boy became the best of friends. The trainer lost his source of income, just as he had lost his kindness toward animals. When he saw the close friendship shared between the bear and the boy, he learnt that he had acted in a reprehensible way, and he asked the bear for forgiveness.

Wonderful story which gives me hope. Thanks OP.

Brilliant thread

Thank you for your comment, dear AC 72313736. There is indeed HOPE on the horizon. I have been very busy during the last few days concerning exactly this issue of HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. Please bear with me as I catch up here ...

Thank you AC 72021408. It is my joy if I can provide inspiration, or a new way of looking at things. We do stand before a completely new era, and our role in this will be essential. Nothing will happen by magic: it involves everyone taking on responsibility. This is not only a thread intended to inspire, but also to provide information when the going gets tough. This time is rapidly approaching.

IF WE TAKE THE ALTERNATIVE ROUTE

A man in full battle-field dress, including armour and a protective helmet, was wielding his battle-axe at a stone wall which was BLOCKING HIS PATH. He had an array of weapons at his disposal, and he picked them up one by one to test which one would be most effective in destroying the wall. He did this with great courage and determination, feeling proud of his strength, which was obvious for all to see.

A woman in white stood behind him. Inwardly, she was appalled at the violence of his behaviour and language. She waited until the soldier had truly exhausted himself and sat down for a rest. Then she approached him and said DEAR SIR, MAY I SHOW YOU ANOTHER WAY? The man was so astonished that he allowed her to lead him by the hand. After walking a very short distance, they came to some steps which led to the top of the wall. The man could not understand why he had not seen them before. He followed the woman up the steps, on which the words LOVE, COMPASSION and UNDERSTANDING were engraved in large letters.

Once on the top of the wall, the man and woman jumped down onto the other side. Here, the man discovered that there were more soldiers, just like himself, trying to hammer down the walls in front of them. He took off all his armour and left it in a pile on the ground. Then he waited till one of the soldiers was completely exhausted before he approached him saying DEAR SIR, MAY I SHOW YOU ANOTHER WAY? And then he showed this soldier the alternative route.

And so, each person who was shown the alternative route laid down his arms and initiated others, showing them the alternative route, and this chain reaction continued UNTIL THE WHOLE WORLD WAS DISARMED AND LIVING IN PEACE.

IF WE TEACH IN THE RIGHT WAY

A group of meditators were sitting in a very large circle at the earth’s north pole position, but the climate was mild. They were all joined together by streams of energy – a circuit which started at Source above them, descended through them to the central core of the earth, and which then ascended through them again, returning to Source. In addition, all the meditators were connected to each other by golden strands, forming an intricate golden network. As the meditators concentrated on sending out love energy in order to increase the vibrations of their surroundings, the entire flow of the circuit increased and threw off sparks which fell on areas which needed this uplift.

The extraordinary element in this scene was that the ground was completely transparent, as were the hills in the distance. The meditators were sitting on a sea of glass, and when they looked down, they could see bright blazes and flows of lava, but still they managed to retain their composure. They felt that they benefitted from this warmth and motion beneath them, in fact, they felt INFUSED by light from both above and below.

After a period of intense meditation, the meditators were told that it was now their turn to carry this light to others, and to in fact BE LIGHT and BE TRANSPARENCY. The meditators separated and went their different ways as teachers, entering classrooms far and wide. Thus the network of golden strands, which was still attached to every person, was vastly stretched, but still remained intact.

As teachers, the meditators taught sorrowful, bewildered and sometimes angry and very disappointed students who were suffering the collapse of a lifetime of convictions and struggling to understand new concepts of life. In the face of this challenge, the teachers strived to always remember their instructions, which were follows:

ALWAYS DEMONSTRATE IMPECCABLE BEHAVIOUR
ALWAYS REMAIN HONEST
TEACH WHAT YOU KNOW AND ADMIT WHAT YOU DO NOT KNOW
RECOGNISE YOUR LIMITS
SAY “I DO NOT KNOW” or “I AM NOT SURE”, if that is the case.
SHUT YOUR EYES BRIEFLY AND GO WITHIN to find answers to difficult questions.
CONVEY THE IMPORTANCE OF HONESTY, CLARITY AND EAGERNESS TO EMBRACE LEARNING PROCESSES.
INTRODUCE HUMOUR
DEMONSTRATE JOY.
DO NOT INDULGE ANY ONE DIRECTION FOR TOO LONG, AS THIS WILL HINDER PROGRESS. BE COMPASSIONATE, BUT NOT CONTINUOUSLY.
EXCESS COMPASSION ONLY WILL SLOW DOWN FORWARD MOTION.
FORWARD MOTION WITHOUT COMPASSION WILL ALIENATE.
ALWAYS STRIVE FOR BALANCE.
PRACTICE, ILLUSTRATE AND BE THE SORT OF PERSON YOU WISH YOUR STUDENTS TO BE.

IF WE CARRY THE TORCH OF TRUTH INTO DARK PLACES

A man was running through dark streets with a torch in his hand. He was very frightened as he knew that the light could be very clearly seen at night, but he was not stopped as very few people were about, and even those who passed him were drunk or preoccupied with something else. He ran on, leaving the town and going towards the hills where he entered a cave and an extensive cavern system.

At the heart of this system was a large room where a group of people were anxiously waiting for him. WELCOME TO THE BRINGER OF THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, they said as he entered. And they held forward their own torches and lit them from the sacred fire which had been brought to them. These people then separated, spreading the spirit of truth just as their predecessor did before them.

The man continued his own journey, still carrying his torch, until he reached the coastline and a large lighthouse. He knew that this was his destiny and his destination and he knew also that he was being closely followed. He climbed the spiral stairway right to the very top and lit the light. This light could be seen from great distances and immediately caught the attention of dark forces who were determined to stamp out the spirit of truth. They mustered all their airplanes and machine guns and focussed them on this one solitary lighthouse, which was subsequently completely destroyed.

While the lighthouse had diverted attention, the original group of people in the cave had been able to spread far and wide, lighting new torches carried by new bearers at every turn, so that now the whole earth was a sea of light. It was impossible for the dark forces to deal with so much opposition at once, and they were forced to retreat, recuperate and rethink.

IF WE LOOK DOWN AND CLEAR OUT THE MUD

In a small medieval town, people wearing bonnets, top hats and long, old-fashioned clothing were bustling about in the streets, busily greeting each other and moving on as quickly as possible to their destinations. They did not linger, and neither did they look down, as they took pride in their connections, wanting to be on good business terms with everyone, and so they were always wary, watching out for whoever might turn the corner and approach them next. The always had a pleasant greeting on their lips, waiting for the next oncoming acquaintance.

When they reached their houses or businesses, the first thing they did was take off their shoes, leaving them outside the door. These shoes were ENCRUSTED WITH MUD, but this mud did not actually ever touch the feet of the owners, as all shoes were positioned on top of stilts. The residents were very accustomed to walking in this cumbersome way. Many did not even ask themselves why this was so. If the residents had looked down onto the streets, they would have seen a river of mud and sewage.

During the night, those who had already seen the mud ran around the town, gathering up all the shoes outside all the doors. When the residents woke up the next morning, preparing to leave the house as usual, they found that their shoes were gone. Some people said to themselves BUSINESS AS USUAL, and left the house in slippers. They were delighted to be able to walk so fast on the pavements, but they were appalled when they sunk to their knees in grime and sewage when trying to cross a street. It was the first time that they had really been aware of it. In the end, everyone was forced to stay at home indefinitely and forced to consider a solution.

IF WE USE THE TOOL OF MEDITATION TO INCREASE POSITIVE VIBRATION

A group of people appeared who harboured the same intent to increase earth’s vibrational frequency. They sat on a hilltop around a camp fire and simultaneously went into meditative state, fixing their attention on the flames. The more energy they sent in that direction, the higher the flames grew. Each person sent their own particular energy to the flames which was visible as a single coloured beam of light – red or white or gold ….

After a while of intense concentration, the flames started to crackle loudly and spit baubles into the air. These were multicoloured, like spherical rainbows, and large birds appeared to carry them off in their beaks. These birds carried the baubles to places on earth where great distress reigned. These were dirty, colourless, depressed places where the inhabitants had lost all hope. Here they dropped the baubles, which burst as they hit the ground, to form beautiful pools of multi-coloured water.

Half of the population in these depressed areas was so suspicious and resigned and entrenched in their own lives and problems that they scarcely raised their head when they saw these pools. They practically ignored them, immediately dismissing them as a trap or a deceptive mirage. Some of the people passing by noticed these brilliant pools and – if their courage was great enough – they approached them and tested them with a finger. The moment they did so, a feeling of lightness and joy spread from their finger, up their arm, and into the rest of their body, and they were infused with a great optimism for the future.

The small children had no inhibitions; they screamed with delight and immediately jumped into the pools, splashing around with delight. This is caused more multi-coloured baubles to rise into the air, and again the birds arrived to carry these new baubles to yet more depressed and deprived areas of earth. This process, which had been initiated by the meditators on the hill, continued to spread until the whole surface of the earth was covered in brilliant multi-coloured light. It was unavoidable. It was no longer possible to hide in a dark corner, because dark corners no longer existed. It was no longer possible to retreat from the great wave of optimism, joy and enthusiasm. Those who continued to resist were removed by angels and relocated to places where they could continue to live in the way they personally chose to do so, in a degree of less intense light which was more suitable for their spiritual growth.

Colour Crusader, thank you for your impressive supply of information.

Love is wonderful and very high energy. Unconditional love brings love closer to the level of the Prime Creator (aka God, Higher Self, Creative Source). While for many people unconditional love is almost impossible to implement, there are some who possess this attribute. These people, along with others, have a passion to raise the consciousness of this planet to bring in peace and harmony for humanity. Despite their unrelenting efforts and conviction to their passion lifetime after lifetime, sometimes to their demise, sadly the dark side of duality prevailed as history has shown most people have a fondness for greed and selfishness. It would be a great help to humanity if people were given a brief moment of re-connection to Prime Creator and experience unconditional love and immense benevolence, that wonderful warm feeling when greed and selfishness along with the stresses and burdens they bring dissipate. In the new energy since 2012, more percentage of newborns will possess higher DNA efficiency with more remembrance of their true divine self, in other words more connected. They will be more resistant to the traps of this 3d low consciousness world. That and together with the magnetic grid shift which allows greater entry of cosmic benevolent energy will greatly help move this planet and its inhabitants faster to potentially higher consciousness. There will then be greater potential for peace and harmony on Earth, and when that day of success come, albeit it's a long process, those who have worked hard for the good of humanity will rejoice. Humanity will look back to these days as the barbaric age and going forward will not want to slip back to these terrible times again.

This world is indeed a very interesting place. Many souls from all over the universe come in for different purposes - some for nostalgia, some for learning, some for the experience, some to play a part, and some for helping. It matters not if this world is a matrix because our focus of attention is here. Ultimately, we are willing participants to the test of dark and light energies being conducted on this kindergarten playground called Earth. Maximum duality and maximum free choice allow us to learn what we want and what we don't want for us to evolve. Hopefully this will bring some comfort to those who say they are suffering and are angry and frustrated "God" is not helping them. Everything happens for a purpose. Find that purpose when they hit a bump on the road of life and give themselves a big congratulation when they realize the purpose. As their mindset slowly change they might start to be grateful for the lesson, which would not have been possible if they were not pushed to a place they would not have gone to otherwise. How great it is to be grateful rather than to be angry and frustrated. Congratulations to them again as they have just help raise the collective consciousness of this planet.

Colour Crusader, thanks again for sharing your information. From the amount of time you have invested in your posts, I know you did it out of passion! All the best.

Thank you for you long an detailed post dear AC! Lots of pertinent information there too.

Increasing love means increasing our similarity to SOURCE or GOD or DIVINE CREATION or whatever word you feel most familiar with. We are on a journey of self-perfection, ever striving to be more and more like the SOURCE OF LOVE.

You say it would be a great help if people were allowed a brief "reconnection" to Source/Creator in order to feel the difference and accelerate the process. I believe this is given as needed. I know people who have had "God experiences" and who have never been the same afterwards. They are filled with optimism, even in the darkest of circumstances. The same can be said for those who have had "near death" experiences". They know that death is not the end. They know that life continues and that it is an ongoing learning process. Generally, if one asks, one receives - not that which may appear to be the best for oneself, but that which is best for the learning process.

The inhabitants on earth are presently in dire need of the "reconnection" you refer to, as this would make violence, corruption and abuse night impossible. But there is - in most people - no desire to connect. I reckon one last chance will be given - to jump start the awakening process - but if one fails that test, then it is time to move on to a "classroom" where the lessons are easier and more basic. Earth cannot deal with billions of souls who are without conscience. Add to the mix that 80 million babies are born every year. The population growth curve is now extremely steep. This can only result in devastation, exploitation of earth's resources and mass destruction.

Yes, everything happens for a purpose - and the purpose is moving forward on the path of learning. With this recognition, we are forced to review our lives and see WHERE WE PARTICIPATED IN ALL THINGS POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE. IT MEANS THAT WE CAN NEVER ABDICATE RESPONSIBILITY, AND THAT WE CAN NEVER BE A VICTIM. AT THE SAME TIME, IT SHOWS THAT WE ARE IN CONTROL OF OUR LIVES AND THAT WE CAN CREATE OUR FUTURE.

Thank you again, AC, for our wise words. Momentous times are upon us.

IF WE REALISE WE ARE ALL PIECES OF A JIGSAW PUZZLE ORGANISED BY THE DIVINE

The hands belonging to a huge celestial being emptied a box of puzzle pieces (WHICH ALL CAME FROM THE SAME SOURCE) onto a table. The pieces scattered far and wide. Some were face up. Others were face down. The celestial hands ensured that all the pieces were face up. They were counted, and none was found missing, so the celestial being departed in the confident knowledge that he had initiated the process, and that all pieces were perfect. He knew that each piece was unique and essential to the whole. And he knew that it was simply a case of rearrangement until the full picture came into view.

We were the pieces, and through our inner and outer movements and decisions, we would find our perfect position and contribute to a harmonious and completed picture. The pieces wandered around on the table, as we wander through life, looking for a sign that they were going in the right direction. Sometimes a flash of colour or an attractive shape would compass their direction. When pieces of the same colour or pattern met as a group there was great excitement, as they knew that they belonged together somehow. And so, all pieces were on their own searching journey.

Sometimes the celestial being would come back to observe progress. If he saw a piece wandering off by itself, or approaching danger (the edge of the table), he would turn it around, to give it a new perspective. In very difficult cases, he would actually pluck the piece from the table and position it exactly where it was supposed to be. This was a shock for the piece, but necessary. If the celestial being saw a piece which was very sad and which had given in to despair, and which was no longer searching, then he would send a “neighbouring” piece in that direction to console and inspire. Much joy arose when two pieces found that they fitted together perfectly in both shape and colour. Then they interlocked, as jigsaw pieces do, and continued their search for more interlocking parts.

This process of looking for those of similar mind and intention, recognising others and joining forces, was approved of by the watching celestial eyes. Some pieces, however, did not take part at all. They became more and more isolated (as others moved away), but however long this took, the celestial being repeatedly pushed them gently but firmly in new directions.

In the end, only one piece was missing for the completion of the picture. The missing piece did not actually need to search for his particular position as it was all too clear. After refusing to participate for so long, it was very difficult for this piece to surrender to the will of the celestial being and join his fellows, but he had to swallow his pride and do so.

Conclusion: everyone involved with the effort to UPLIFT OUR EARTH AT THIS TIME IS A UNIQUE AND ESSENTIAL PART OF THE SUPPORTING STRUCTURE, AND THAT WE MUST COME INTO THE KNOWING OF OUR CORRECT POSITION AND OUR GREAT INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY.

Unseen celestial hands will guide us in the right direction if we appear to be lost. The full picture can only be realised and seen when all pieces are present and perfectly matched.
