"The opportunity that is concealed within every crisis does not manifest
until all the facts of any given situation are acknowledged and fully
accepted. As long as you deny them, as long as you try to escape from
them or wish that things were different, the window of opportunity does
not open up, and you remain trapped inside of that situation, which will
remain the same or deteriorate further."
- Eckhart Tolle, "The Power of Now", p. 131

Friends,

We CAN change the world. Make no mistake about that. People have done it
before - gotten rid of regimes that seemed to all the world unassailable,
invincible, all powerful. It becomes possible when everyone decides
they've had enough and they decide to act together to do something about
it. Workers lay down their tools, soldiers lay down their weapons or
change sides, and people rejoice in the streets - that kind of thing.
The obstacle to transformation is not the regime; it is our inaction,
our perceived inability to act as a people. The regime in fact, with all
its excesses, creates the crisis in which this opportunity lies hidden -
the regime is ultimately our benefactor, the impetus for transformation,
a transformation that is centuries overdue.

Tolle writes above about crises in relationships, and our co-dependent
habit of denying the relationship's emotional elephants in the kitchen.
But his words apply equally to our co-dependent relationship with the
regime. As long as we pretend we live in a democracy, as long as we
pretend our "leaders" are not acting out a predatory script, as long as
we pretend that things will get better after the "next election" - then
we are ignoring the elephants in the kitchen. We are in denial and we
can do nothing about our problems. We are in fact a major part of the
problem. We are like the spouse who "doesn't see" their partner's
alcoholism.

I don't write about 9/11 because I hope the "truth will come out" and
the perpetrators will be exposed and punished. I know that won't happen.
It cannot happen. I write in the hope that people will give up their
illusions - not everyone at once as a response to a media event that
will never happen - but as individuals who finally decide to take the
wool off their eyes. Only after the truth about our system is
"acknowledged and fully accepted" are we free to face the necessary task
before us - the task of social transformation. That task is ours, not
anyone else's.

If people really want to stay with the blue pill, and enjoy along with
Cypher the perceived benefits of living in a relatively well-off
situation, then I hope they do so consciously - accepting that they are
destroying the world that their children must live in. Such people are
at least proceeding honestly. They are no longer co-dependent but are
rather conscious allies of the regime, and they've washed their hands of
the world's future. After we all die off, they can hope another species
does better in its turn.

Whatever your course, I simply urge you to ACCEPT REALITY. That is the
only place from which transformation can emerge. How can you tell when
you are denying reality? The signs are not easy to notice - not by those
who are suffering from denial. Denial is enforced by defense mechanisms,
and those mechanisms hide the fact of denial from us. The way you can tell
is if you find yourself ignoring the evidence in front of you. You'll have
good reasons to ignore it - that's the nature of denial. To uncover your
eyes, you need to learn to question your reasons, to become the observer
of your mind.

best regards,
rkm

Linnea,

You have given me a tremendous affirmation of a movement I feel is coming to the world's awareness.

I cannot give you a time frame when this might reach fruition, but again, and I can't say it enough or with sufficient emphasis, you have given me much hope and optimism, and I am quite optimistic to start...

Rather than post here what I feel is a complementary thesis to your own, and be regarded as a cross-poster, I invite you to read my essay of this date.

I first tried to e-mail you the link, but alas, you have not made that option available (understandable).

So, when you have time, please see my post here:

Project Global Consciousness


Thanks, and may much spiritual warmth be available to you when you desire it.

[Linnea]

Glad you were encouraged by creative and positive energy in reading Richard K Moore's essay, above. I am also. RKM seems to have a strategic vision and a talent for getting to the heart of things. Have been following his cyberjournal since it's inception, about 1994 - and he has shared his evolutionary journey, thoughts and experiences, with those of us on his email list: cyberjournal.

I used to find his earlier frame of mind somewhat off-putting, as he seemed to call for a radical movement and solutions to some of the global problems manifesting in the world. His thinking has evolved now, to a more zen approach - that we can affect real change when we ourselves recognize a process within ourselves which is more a movement of consciousness - a state of be-ing.

Hoping to inspire and encourage those who have an interest in global consciousness - in which we all participate - to share ideas and thoughts in this forum thread here on Fantastic Forum. I see you have started along a similar path, perhaps inspired by those of us who gather here. I wish you well on your similar and parallel journey. We will all evolve in consciousness and be there.

RKM's article above - seems to be a necessary step in evolving consciousness and change. If many of us are on this pathway, real change can be manifested. Thank you for your warmth and supportive message. Hope we will share consciousness on this journey.

Hi Linnea,

Has Richard K Moore ever been a guest on C2C? Should I put him on the potential guest thread and e-mail George? (SEE Brig for thread)

Linnea, thanks for posting these thoughts from Richard Moore. I'd like to echo eye-sea and say someone should email C2C and check him out as a potenial guest.

I struggle with seeing too many being complacent and not doing the critical thinking to see through the veils of deception. As individuals and groups and from the grassroots we can be out there sharing the light.

[Linnea]

Has anyone contacted George Noory regarding having Richard K Moore on his show? He would be a great guest!

What is George's email address?

Linnea, here ya go [email protected]

[Linnea]

Thank you, SetisLady. This doesn't look like the email I remember. Is this the email that is posted at C2C? Do people get through to GN at this email? Have another one I might try first. And you have an opinion about RKM and would also like to see him as a guest on the show? Making a list!

[SETIsLady]

Tell you what ...I don't know if you are a streamlink member if you are , there is a form you can fill out and he claims he reads them first. If you aren't a member, write the email and send it to me, I will send it to him for you.

I am sure the form goes to the same email, but it is coded so he knows its coming from the form.

I have a different opinion about this article... I thought it was a lot of psychobable..... life as we know it could not exist without lies...so in truth...telling the truth will not only destroy our world... but it will hurt lots of people...and in fact I have seen this happen many times where someone hurts others... and then just cops out by saying I was only being truthful...

even when Bush goes... well still have another president.. and they will have secrets....the secrets are not going to go away...because a few people don't want to be brainwashed anymore... their are millions who don't want to know the truth and spend every waking moment running away from the truth...and who are too fragile.to handle it...consider the fact that almost 1 trillion prescriptons are written anually in the U.S. for mental disorders...

I think in point of fact it's more apt to say.... the more unreal things become...the more.. that sane people become an aberation to the mob...yet again... some of them like that ...the schizotypal enjoy being somewhat...odd..it's how their narcissism expresses itself...in rebellion

Money in point of fact is a kind of lie... it exists onlly because we all are trained to believe in it.... but when people don't do so then we can no longer live in a statified society...or have specialized labor...I find it hard to believe in "cloud cucco land"... as Aristophenes said....

The truth will not liberate us..but rather..only reveal the pointlessness.. the shallowness of our lives... and the futility..
of believing in anything at all...what we have instead of Gloval consciousness is Global unconsciousness.. we've just decided to call it something different now..as a way of clutching onto ideological pain killers...

truth ... is a humanistic judgement
that I don't wish to debate. My truth is vastly deeper
and wider then the Nile.
