Some Thoughts from On the Road 12/9/2012


If you think it's hopeless because of what's happening on the surface think again.  If you think we are abandoned in our hour of need you would be mistaken.  Human consciousness is evolving. We are a race awakening.  We are being pushed to a higher level of consciousness because our survival on the planet depends on it.   A wise person would not wait until a full blown crisis was at hand when current severe climate events are indicators of what will only get worse as the atmosphere warms further and sea levels continue to rise.   We know governments will not save us.  It is as Margaret Mead once said ¨Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.  Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.¨   

We cannot solve our problems at the same level of egoic consciousness that created them to paraphrase Einstein.  The growing perception is that we are all One.  It is an illusion that we are now or ever have been separate from one another, creation or All That Is many call God.  The egoic state of consciousness by its very nature reinforces a perception of separation.  This widespread belief reinforces the illusion, that there is no connection (energetically) between ourselves or any other thing in the created order.  It is from this false belief, just a thought really, that all of our problems have arisen.  It has served its purpose which was to provide a contrasting field in our physical reality.  We could not know in our experience what Oneness is without having experienced separation, or what the good is without the evil, the up without the down.   We now have a collective memory of these experiences with their pain and trauma.  It is no longer necessary to keep repeating these experiences but only to remember.     It is past time to create a heaven on earth instead of the recreating the hell that has been our long history.  We risk our survival on the planet if we persist.

Sending our young people to fight our wars with the belief that killing is justified creates an internal conflict between the mind/egoic state of consciousness and what the Higher Self within each of us knows is only harming itself.  Healing those who return with PTSD requires great compassion and understanding.  Wars and violence inflicted on the "other" we label as enemy become unacceptable practices when we know in advance we are only harming ourselves.  

All thought is creative of our experience individually and collectively.  Thought is energy. In that sense we are co creators with the Divine of our experience.  From the misperception of separation we have created the world we live in.  As we collectively awaken and turn aside from our past it is important for each of us to flee negativity, especially with the chaotic events unfolding at the moment.  I like what Peace Pilgrim had to say about this, I don´t eat junk food and I don´t think junk thoughts (negativity).  On the other hand thoughts with the highest vibration (energy) are love, peace and joy for example.  It is these thoughts that have the greatest coherence and power to change the world we live in.  

There is nothing to fear as we create a new world based on the reality of interconnectedness or Oneness.  Change and impermanence are constants in our world.  Death, there is no death, only a change of worlds,¨ Chief Seattle.   We are spiritual beings, not our minds or bodies, having a human experience.  We are not without recourse or help in our hour of greatest need.  We only have to ask.  

Be open minded,  keep love, peace and joy in your heart and a smile on your face as we tip toe through the tulips - we're in very good hands. 

As for me I will be tip toeing south by bus from Boquete to catch a plane from Panama City to Miami this Friday the 14th.   I will be in Miami a few days before flying to Cancun in the Yucatan of Mexico to close out the year there with friends.  The adventure continues, have-bicycle-will-travel.  More down the road.  

Peace Rider - Don
