Evolutionary Leaders gather at UCLA

I went to "Evolutionary Leaders" event - with all the "Who's Who" in the "conscious movement"

Saw many friends - and encountered some lovely "leaders" who I have met in the past - Lynne Twist, Arielle Ford, Debbie Ford, Michael Beckwith, Steve McIntosh, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Gregg Braden, etc. and some who I had not Bruce Lipton, Duane Elgin, Don Beck and others. A very broad spectrum of some of the luminaries of the movement, all at once in one event.

I met Barbara Marx Hubbard 20 Years ago - when we worked together on a project for a week. It was during the period that much of this work for me became very clear in my life...

That said, here we are 20 years later - all the "leaders" coming together to inspire "evolutionary leaders."

It was amazing to have all those people together on the stage at the same time - and in the seats in the hall.
Something about it though still rang of an "old paradigm" energy - leaders inspiring leaders - and people on the stage "delivering a message of urgency" to the people in the audience. I would have liked it for all of us to be in a massive circle together...

That said - it felt like an important step for all these leaders on the stage - for them to come together in solidarity and connect and work together and appear on stage together as a unified field. They demonstrated the unity of connectedness that needs to be embodied now. Even so, there was something about the way it is was done -the format, the assumption that a "message needs to be given" etc. which I feel is something from another timeline of activation, which we just stepped out of last night - and into a new timeline of collective embodiment of the evolutionary impulse.

Yet what last night represented to me was a culmination, a graduation of sorts, for all the people on the stage to be celebrated, acknowledged, connected, etc. so that the baton can be handed off. This was not unlike a ritual which marked the end of an era, a dynamic so that it could gracefully put to rest with sacred intention and honor. Once done we could move on. But this effort is the latest and best from this extraordinary group of people...who are some of the most important thought leaders of our time.

Meanwhile - check out the website - it actually has some very cool stuff on it - especially the "Evolutionary Leaders Toolkit" which appears to be a very succinct, and valuable document for all of us working together - in whatever area of life we live.

I also had a nice chat with Andrew Cohen - what a sweetheart - he's a little intense, yet very sweet energy... when I made a comment something to the effect "see you in the dream" he nudged me and said "it's all real!" - yes, another adjustment - I guess he's on the same team as all of my other spiritual guides - and filling in where you they left off... worry not - Greg nudges toward full awakening continue from all fronts from the cosmos!

The Art of Jumping Time Lines

Many of us are not aware that there are many different concepts and understandings about how time works, and what exactly is involved.

The very popularity of the book "The Power of Now" and other teachings by Eckart Tolle are evidence of this reality.

That said, my concept of time, and how reality plays out individually and collectively, forward/backward/upward/downward has been continuously shifting of late.

Along these lines, I found an article called "The Art of Jumping Time Lines" to be very helpful in adding shape and color to my new experiences of time/space/reality.  I trust you will enjoy and feel a new sense of living after reading some of this material. Here's the first part of the article:

"Although it may seem paradoxical to some, your timeline—your life—is only one of many simultaneous possibilities. And it is quite possible, indeed it is your birthright, to alter your timeline and the potentials of your life."

"Your culture, for various reasons, has hypnotized you into believing that you are limited to one timeline. In this message we shall endeavor to discuss our understanding of timelines and how you can change them."

"Whenever there is an increase of chaotic events, there is a convergence of multiple timelines. Due to the fact that your planet has entered a Chaotic Node and is experiencing ever-increasing levels of chaos, there is also an increase in what we calltime nodes."

"Time nodes occur when two or more timelines converge. As a result of their close proximity oscillation effects sometimes occur when the realities of one timeline bleed through, or are psychically perceived by those on a neighboring timeline. Strong timelines can also literally affect the possibilities and/or probabilities of other timelines within a time node. In other words, creative and novel effects often occur within timelines when they enter a time node (proximity to other timelines)."

"These are evolutionary jumpstarts that hold tremendous possibility for accelerated evolution if you understand how to utilize them."

The Fire of Life Within is One with All Life.

From the Essene Gospel of Peace:

"And Jesus said: 'Happy are you, Sons of Light, for you have entered the deathless way and you who walk in the path of truth, even as did your fathers of old, who were taught by the Great Ones. With the eyes and ears of the spirit do you see and hear the sights and sounds of the kingdom of the Earthly Mother: the blue sky where dwells the angel of Air, the foaming river where flows the angel of Water, and the golden light which streams from the angel of the Sun, and I tell you truly, all these are within you as well as without; for your breath, your blood, the fire of life within you, all are one with the Earthly Mother."

The book known as the "Essene Gospel of Peace" was found by the translator Edmund Bordeaux Szekely in the archives in the Vatican in the 20's.

Eat, Pray, Love - "The Guru Gita Goes Mainstream"

"The Guru Gita Goes Mainstream" - Julia Robert's latest film "Eat, Pray, Love" is based on a woman's journey, and her visit to an ashram in India - which is the home of Siddha Yoga, a path I studied since I was 16. In our tradition, we study a set of sutras known as the Guru Gita - "song of the Guru" The "guru" refers to both any authentic spiritual teacher, and "guru" is also simultaneously a principle of Divine transformative awareness which works through all of reality, and teachers, to bring us to realization of the loving oneness of all life. Griffin - an LA based teacher wrote a commentary on the Guru Gita.


"In truth, the gift of life must always be recognized and never be taken for granted. Why is life so precious? In Siddha Yoga philosophy, we recognize that in this human life we have a rare opportunity. We can transform an ordinary perception of this universe into an extraordinary vision. To be on this planet and to behold the universe from the divine perspective is a sign of an illumined heart. To put this vision to best use in the best way possible is a human being's highest duty." - Gurumayi Chidvilasananda - head of the Siddha Yoga Path 

Earth to Humans - From Worries to Memory Access and Retrieval - Awaken to the critical moment!

"Whatever you worry about it doesn't
matter. It still affects the planet's atmosphere, which is very
sensitive. And the planet's atmosphere doesn't need any more worry. So
cut out your worrying -- now! Follow your path and trust. Don't seek
anything and don't do anything because you think you'll get something
out of it by doing it. Just do what you need to do. Everything is going
to be all right. We're all standing in the planet's field of
intelligence, every single one of us. You gotta be ready for its
changes, its little adjustments. If you're worrying when the planetary
field of intelligence changes, then you miss it. You miss the moment
for memory access and retrieval. And that could be the critical
moment!" from "Surfers of the Zuvuya:Tales of Interdimensional Travel" by Jose Arguelles

10 Easy steps for becoming an evolutionary homemaker

Shannon Hayes wrote in Yes Magazine:

"10 Easy Steps for Becoming a Radical Homemaker

• Commit to hanging your laundry out to dry.

• Dedicate a portion of your lawn to a vegetable garden.

• Get to know your neighbors. Cooperate to save money and resources.

• Go to your local farmers' market each week before you head to the grocery store.

• Do some spring cleaning to identify everything in your home that you absolutely don't need. Donate to help others save money and resources.

• Make a commitment to start carrying your own reusable bags and use them on all your shopping trips.

• Choose one local food item to learn how to preserve for yourself for the winter. Get your family to spend more evenings at home, preferably with the TV off.

• Cook for your family.

• Focus on enjoying what you have and who are with. Stop fixating on what you think you may need, or how things could be better "if only.""

Tests for Growth

"There are various tests to which a devotee is subjected: they could be of the mind, or the intellect, of the body, and so on. A number of such tests are there. In fact, God is conducting tests all the time; every occurrence in life is a test. Every thought that crops up in the mind is in itself a test to see what one's reaction will be. Hence one must be always alert and aloof, conducting oneself with a spirit of detachment, viewing everything as an opportunity afforded to gain experience, to improve oneself and go on to a higher stage."     Bhagavan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri
