Interesting Conversation

Definitely an interesting conversation here David....In response to it and the one below, sometimes I wonder about the luckiness of being able to think. Is luck involved at all? does the 'luck' of being able to think help us or hinder us?

Thinking creates, so watch what you think.... and at the same time that I understand that my thinking creates my reality, I have also experienced magnificent creation when I am not thinking...when I am in states of flow.

I am an artist and I find my most creative inspiring pieces are those that came about when I let go of thought. So, then I come to realize this, maybe intelligence lies beyond thought. When we experience another person as being intelligent or not, what are we really perceiving? What judgments are we making? What stories are we telling ourselves about this other person?

The other day I was watching the squirrels as they dug up the remains of my garden devouring the heads of the last remaining flowers, eating stems, gathering nuts and seeds and burying them in the pots scattered around the patio. I watched as they prepared for the long (or maybe short) winter that is coming. I considered them to be intelligent, more intelligent than I in this moment, as they were paying attention to the season, to the need to prepare in order to stay alive during the hard months ahead. I don't particularly think of squirrels as being intelligent, but here they were more intelligent than I because they knew more than I about gathering food and supplies.... I rely on the grocery, and if the grocery fails what shall I do?

Intelligence has brought us many amazing technological advances that make living so much easier, and at the same time some of these technological advances harm us considerably. But maybe intelligence has nothing to do with right or wrong, up or down....As we have come to understand in this diverse Universe that what is good for one may not be good for another, what serves one may not serve another, and maybe that is intelligence after all.....teaching us something about getting along, about our connection to each other, to all that we experience!

Service to whom?

If we get some more replies, this could be fun!! I feel a change in the air. I think more people are jumping off the fence, and realising that they have to make THE CHOICE. Service- to- self, or service- to-others. I remember reading what was at the time the most advanced channelling available. It was called The Law of One, channelled in 1972, starring an entity called Ra. Ra explained that this incarnation was the time when we have to make the choice between Service- to- self, or service- to-others. Ra went on to explain that, in order to be harvested. (my translation is "survive the shift"), we have to achieve a certain amount of proficiency. For service-to-self people, 95% proficiency is required, and for service-to-others, then 51% proficiency is required. What we are seeing now in the financial and political worlds is the efforts of the few who have chosen service-to-self to achieve 95% proficiency. In order to do this, they need to control 95% of the money, the land, and the people. The job of the service-to-other people right now is to limit the proficiency of the service-to-self type folk, by persuading more of the fence-sitters to jump, one way or the other. To help them to do this, we provide the above information, Free will is not affected. I doubt if the laws of karma will be broken - people will get what is coming to them - unfortunately or otherwise. But I have a distinct feeling that the numbers of service-to-others people will soon reach Critical Mass. As one of my mates said "Bring it on" All t'best David PS. I'm going to stick this up on Weggie's blog, along with any other replies I receive, up or down the line. http://twasmeanttobe.blogspot.com/ By the way, I reckon you will enjoy this short but beautiful presentation http://www.connectingamillionhearts.com/

ONLY FOR INTELLiGENT PEOPLE

Well.. i read somewhere that everyone has 7 types of intelligence, and probably have a finite number spread between these different areas. David Beckham, for example, is a genius in a couple of the areas, but then I wouldn't trust him to tie my shoe laces nor summarise an essay because he is lacking in the others. Definitions of intelligence alter, but I've been telling students that intelligence is actually the ability to use what you've learned. Most education systems just continue filling people with crap (information) so that they are so busy to ever have the chance to use any of it... and thus people's intelligence is (obviously intentionally) limited... so hmm... some people could be construed as being less intelligent than ourselves (Beckham), but are in fact more intelligent in some ways. Also 99% of the population's potential intelligence is purposefully limited anyway (so someone cleans the streets etc)... maybe it's only the lucky few that ever have some time to develop their own intelligence. I like talking to homeless people - the lucid ones who haven't become too addled by drugs, disease and poverty. They can be very wise. One guy compared himself to a shark, and the suits to the good job snorkellers: Yeah the snorkellers have a great time at the top, but they can see little of what's below them. The shark, resting on the sea bed, can see everything above him, including the snorkeller, who never even notices him. The shark/ homeless man can thus become much more learned about society and mankind, if not the workings of the schtock market er.. don't know where i'm going with this... but we're lucky to be thinking, and to want to think. People fill their lives with so much crap they never stand a chance! Posted on behalf of Mark Evinson

So you came this far. So you are intelligent. But how intelligent? By following one of the universal laws "What is above, also below" I find some interesting revelations. a) I am here because I am intelligent. I know I am intelligent, because I know I am here. That is the simple thing that separates man from animal. I know therefore that I am not an animal, despite what some readers might think. c) So I have proved that I am intelligent. Now for how intelligent? d) If I ask myself if I believe that I have met some people less intelligent than myself, I have to admit that I believe I have. In fact this alone has been the source of many of my problems. That means that we have some concept of some people being less intelligent than others. c) If some people are less intelligent, then it follows that some people are more intelligent. d)Where do I fit in? That is today's question. Is it true that much of my life is spent in trying to find out where I fit in, and trying to make myself fit where I think I belong. But how do I know where I belong? Do I belong among the more intelligent, or the less intelligent? If I belong among the more intelligent, then there are many people less intelligent than I. And, due to universal laws, I therefore know that there are also many people more intelligent than I. So what is intelligence. I am sure that there are many intellectual definitions of intelligence, but these are merely oxymorons, because everyone knows that each person's intelligence is as unique as his DNA and fingerprints, and therefore undefinable. Taking an intelligence test should be like taking a DNA test. It's impossible to fail. I think intelligence must also include humour of some kind. I am beginning to like the kind of humour that takes a slightly odd thought, and follows it to its logical conclusions. One of the oddest thoughts I have come across recently is the world's education system. Why don't we apply all of our technology to our education system? I reckon, given enough funding, motivation, time and resources, that I could come up with a system that could correlate DNA properties to exam results. Then, the logical extension could be that we could give each student a DNA test (which of course all students would pass), and then based on the test results, we could predict all future exam results. This would avoid the student having to take and pass exams, and we could adjust the education system to be centred on something a little more intelligent. Comments please? How intelligent are you? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "You must not forward this email, unless you compile a brief reply to the sender".

Hierarchies

Hierarchies There are two types of hierarchy 1) Natural hierarchy. 2) Man-made hierarchy. Most of man's problems are created by the fact that the two hierarchies are not aligned. As man's consciousness increases, he becomes more aware of how the natural hierarchy works, and so he makes greater efforts to align his persona with the natural hierarchy. We are all aware that there is one source of all-there-is. How we visualise or feel about that one source is a personal thing, but we realise that no matter what we personally feel, we are all feeling the same basic thing - that we - our mind, body and spirit - are closely related to each other, through this one source. The Yogis call this one source "The All" or 'The Absolute", and I shall adopt the same terminology. We can therefore see that the top of the natural hierarchy is The All. If we are to align ourselves with nature, as surely we must, then we must adopt a similar attitude to The All. How we perceive The All is how we should behave - thus our outward appearance becomes a direct reflection of our inner-most feeling. If we feel that the hierarchy provided by The All is a kindly, loving, evolving kind of environment, then we should try to be a kindly, loving, evolving kind of person. On the other hand, if we feel that The All's creation is a fearful, hateful, static kind of environment, then our persona will reflect this feeling. It becomes immediately apparent that those of the latter feelings are in need of help from those with the former feelings. This creates a serious problem, because those who feel fear are not aware that they need help, and so rarely or never ask for it. Many of us have learned through bitter experience that providing help when it is not required is in fact totally unhelpful. The discovery of the existence of an evolutionary path, or a co-learners path, is a step that has to come about naturally - it cannot be taught. It is not possible to point someone in the desired direction, and help them to open the door and step outside, unless they are seeking that help. While they are convinced that they are walking their own path, that leads to a different destination to the path of others, then they are unable to accept that anyone has walked along the path before them. Therefore they are unable to see the signposts that naturally exist to point them in the evolutionary direction. Their evolvement is static until they find the door, and open it themselves. I think that the simple understanding that we are all co-learners, and that we all live on the same planet, under the same sun, created by the same source, is a good foundation for life. No matter what our managerial status might indicate, we are no better or worse than any other person. In our hierarchy, there will be a few people who have already walked through the door, but the vast majority will not have yet discovered it, and most are not even looking for it. If we recall our own behaviour and attitudes before we discovered the door, then it will help us to understand the behaviour of the majority in our hierarchy. Our hierarchy consists of every single person that we come in contact with in any way, physically, mentally, or spiritually. If, as is written in so many books, we treat each individual acquaintance in the way that we wish them to treat us, then we can be assured that our hierarchy is in line with nature, and that we are doing our best to accelerate our own evolvement. We know that every person we become acquainted with has a message or lesson form us. So, having discovered the evolutionary path, we are in a better position to communicate our findings with each other. For those of us who have already walked through the door, and discovered that our reason for being born is to evolve, we are in a position to give and receive help without the involvement of ego, which we soon learn how to suppress. We become far less emotional, with fewer ups and downs in life, the calmer environment being provided by increased knowledge. We learn how to take good care of our body, mind and spirit. Through our own experience, we gain the ability to become a good teacher, and we become able to pass on our knowledge and experiences to all those who ask. Do we feel that we are responsible for the lives of others, and must therefore try to control the way they act and believe, or do we feel that we should allow the same freedom to each individual that we require for ourselves? Through this process, we learn that there are others who are further along the path who can become our teachers. And so we, too, begin to ask. We truly realise that we are all teacher/learners, or co-learners. We are then able to ensure that our own hierarchy reflects our own feelings.

Weggie's World 7

This report has come to our attention, and we feel that you might be interested

The F$c$ Pandemic (Satire Or truth?)

At first, there was no money. Then gold, silver, and precious metals were made into coins, for convenience. Then somebody came up with a "get-rich-quick" scheme, and invented paper money, because precious metals (henceforth called gold) were too heavy and inconvenient. Of course, there was no limit to the supply of paper money, other than the speed at which trees could be turned into paper. So in order to convince people that this was a good scheme, a deal was struck whereby a piece of paper was said to be exchangeable for an equivalent amount in gold, and in order to keep things sensible, there had to be enough gold to match the paper issued. This at least saved a few trees for a while. But then, carrying all that paper around became inconvenient, and accounting for and storing the gold became cumbersome. With the advances in technology, it became possible to represent the paper money by numbers in computers which in turn removed the necessity for digging up all the gold, and destroying the environment in the process. This, thankfully, saved a few more trees, and mountains. Then people became confused by the manipulation of numbers in computers. There became a need for number manipulators (accountants, and corporate planners), and because they didn't always agree, a need for arbitration, so many jobs for lawyers, judges, and law courts. Incredible schemes were created or enhanced, based on these numbers in computers. These schemes included government budgets, the stock exchange, foreign exchange - (the biggest joke of them all - where we carefully distinguish between an American number in a computer, and a New Zealand number in a computer), and then create a whole scenario whereby people can become emotionally involved with these numbers in computers. (F$C$ - the medical term for a mental disease created by an Attachment To Numbers In Computers (atnic), otherwise known as the Financial Crisis). The Wunch* are particularly susceptible to F$C$. All of this number manipulation, along with the associated manipulators, bankers, insurance companies, credit companies, advertising agencies, lawyers and other "service' industries, have caused our cities to expand so significantly, that much of the earth's previously productive land is now covered with concrete, and useless for food production. It is usually valued at a higher number than food producing land, yet it is land that produces nothing except pollution and waste. All of this to satisfy the citizen's greed for numbers in computers! Many people cannot imagine a world without money. Well, such a huge leap of the imagination is no longer necessary. All you have to do is to imagine a life that is a natural life, and not based on some numbers in computers. Just try to think about life without money. Don't say "impossible!". You know already that if there is a power cut there is no money, so it's not too difficult to imagine a power cut that lasts long enough for people to find an alternative way of survival. Of course, there will be serious problems, created primarily by those people who have become emotionally attached to these numbers in computers. So we must take a careful look at the likely scenario of the easiest way of getting round this emotional attachment to numbers in computers, otherwise known as "The Financial Crisis", or F$C$. Most of the people who wield power are included amongst the group suffering from this attachment disorder. This creates a very dangerous situation. We now know that those to whom we have delegated responsibility for our livelihoods, and lives, are emotionally unbalanced by the pandemic of F$C$, and as a result, so is much of the world's citizenry. In fact, so much of the citizenry supports the unbalanced leaders, and this support, maintained by the equally-unbalanced mass media, that F$C$ has created the environmental mayhem that all of us are now experiencing. Don't forget, money is the root of ALL evil. We must be gentle with these unbalanced people, because there are so many of them. We must create a support system for them, maybe something similar to Alcoholics Anonymous, so that they can slowly wean themselves from their irrational emotional attachment to numbers in computers. Perhaps this could be done by arranging for power-cuts of ever increasing length and frequency. Living without power is perhaps one of the easiest ways of helping people to become realigned with reality, or nature as it is sometimes called. Suddenly, in the absence of this attachment-to-numbers-in-computers syndrome (F$C$), recovering patients have been known to think different thoughts, adopt different lifestyles, and experience true freedom and happiness for the first time in their lives. Surely it is incumbent on every person who is a lert (the world needs more lerts) to help their brethren who are suffering from F$C$, so could you please forward this to all your alert friends, and ask them to do the same. For peace in our time Will Scarlet

The American revolution starts here There has been a coup in America, as of 1st October 2009

Naomi Wolf is calling for a revolution, to arrest the coup leaders, and to form a new government. I agree with her completely, except the forming of a new government. Yes we should encourage the Americans to stand up and be counted, and to take serious action. Ghandi would have been proud of Naomi. She is suggesting that we dismantle the private homes of the perpetrators, brick by brick, and that we should burn their property. She expects that they will flee. However, my proposal is that, yes, we should get rid of the criminals, but that we should NOT encourage the formation of a new government. We do not need governing - we are now sufficiently evolved to be able to govern ourselves. We need to free ourselves from the strangulation and corruption of government.Any Central Government, if one is formed, must have minimal powers, more as an advisory and assistance role that anything else. Take a look at the brief video. It will motivate you. Best regards David http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XgkeTanCGI
