Monsanto – A devil disguised as our saviour from hunger

                                                                  

The campaign against Monsanto is gaining momentum and so it should.

From all the giant corporations seeking to exercise so much control and power over our lives, Monsanto is probably the worse while the topic of GMO is becoming the single most important issue facing humanity at this very present moment.

The reason is - once this deadly technology is out there, it can never be reversed.

We may be able to tackle pollution, global weather meltdown and other issues by changing the ways we live, though once there is enough GMO pollen out there; once enough of the food chain is contaminated, we will never be able to recall them.           

GM plants cannot be recalled, but as living organisms they will multiply and mutate, passing any damaging traits from generation to generation.

Apart from this, the risk the human health is not even been studied yet and may take generations to fully understand. 

GMO farming hands the control of agriculture to a few giant corporations, mainly Monsanto and renders the farmers worldwide powerless to any decisions this company makes.

In effect GMO is destruction of real democracy, as the most important elements of our physical survival on earth are the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Now the control of water and food is being handed over to the giant multinationals and of course, if they find a way to get control of the air we breathe, they will do it too.     
Monsanto's goal is to control the future of food on planet earth.     

I would like to share with you here an excerpt from my just released book
 ‘I CROW RIVER’ which is now available in all major online retailers.

“I am Nobi, King of the Crows,” he calls the night into his attention. “Don’t you all know that nature has never designed seeds which are mixed with the genes of fish and animals? Do you understand what GMO’s really are? They are cell invasion!  This insidious experiment is bound to breed monsters. Let us all not forget for a moment that one of the roles the plant kingdom plays is transforming light into life. Do you get what I am saying? Is there anybody out there that is still capable of hearing us? To genetically engineer plants and animals is no different than doing the same to humans. We all breathe the same air. All life forms are perfect, fulfilling their task within the tapestry of life. To manipulate them is to spit in the face of the Great Spirit and the eternal wisdom of creation. It is to say to her that you mistrust the way she designed the rising of the sun and shining of the moon. In nature nothing is independent, everything is interdependent and connected, we are all one community and to manipulate one is to do so to us all!

What’s happening in your human world? Have you stopped trusting in a wisdom that created your own perfect bodies, the most complex organism on earth that you wish to now manipulate other bodies of life as far as possible away from their original source? Have you stopped trusting in the wisdom that has nurtured and sustained life from the time before time began?

The next thing you’ll suddenly do is a breed GM crows that are silent; well that would surely spell the age of doom. Everything and everyone is born of the same divine source and is part of a never ending spectrum of love bowing in reverence at the altar of creation.”

Nobi is howling his words into the night while I am moved to tears. I didn’t realise he was King of the Crows, though really I should have known. He stares at me with his eyes of love reflecting in the endless night, then he looks at the space where all things are heard and calls the night back to his attention.

“I am Nobi, King of the Crows, voice to the voiceless ones, and I want to talk with the ones who say GMO seeds are to the benefit of humanity, I want you to come here, look into my eyes and explain to me how this deadly technology is meant to restore the balance of life on earth…."

so yesssss, we need to do something and yes, another world is possible - it requires our clear action and intent NOW

Café Revolution –Another world is possible: 2012... a leap into the unknown....

2012... a leap into the unknown....

So…the time is at last upon us – the bells are ringing, announcing the arrival of the year 2012.

It’s a new year folks…is there anything more to it? Or is it just another new year like so many we had before.               

                                                              

Well, to answer this question we do have to look back to the guidance and insight shared by our ancestors.

Many ancient cultures have indicated through their prophecies and precise mathematical calculations that this year will be a time of great change.

A time of death and rebirth, a time of great upheaval, an era of letting go of the old and embracing the new.

So… is the world going to end?  Of course not, and nothing anyway ever ends, it just transforms, takes new forms, sheds old skins and embraces a new energy field.

Yet hopefully we do chuck out some of our bad habits in the rubbish bin and send them down the incinerator.  Habits like our bullshit way of life. The way we relate to the planet and the way we relate to each other.

At the end of the day when a phoenix rises from the ashes, it’s up to her where she spreads her wings and flies to, and 2012 and beyond will be, what we as a  collective affirm it to be.             

I am not saying no other forces are at play here…there are and they are felt by the many already.

We will experience more than a mild jolt… we have to!!! We have been in a state of denial for to long now, so we will receive the assistance we need in order that we accept that it’s time to change. However, how the change will look like is up to us… it is our dream and vision that we must awaken for the birthing of a new dawn.

So, what is it that we want to be done with?

Well, our economic system of greed and exploitation must go, for it is responsible for so much misery.

 It is the cause that every living system on the planet is in a state of decline.

It is the cause that we see so much hunger and depravation in the world.

It is the cause that a few have so much while so many others have nothing.

It is the cause that hundreds of millions of children go to sleep every day crying with hunger.

It is the cause why we fight wars for oil.

It is the cause why we have stopped teaching the children how to live and we teach them how to consume. 

                    

Commodities have become the main symbols of culture rather than art and creativity, love and laughter.

We must learn to love life again rather than be in love with THINGS.

We must replace the love for power with the power of love.

Something fundamental has to change in our relationship to the world around us! We are not here to conquer the planet and all life on it… we are here to share this precious earth with all our relations and to make sure that many generations from now, this place is a flowering garden rather than a waste land, torn apart by our greed and lack of imagination.  
  

Regardless if you believe in ancient prophecies or not, I am sure all of us feel something is going to give soon. The chain is about to snap and we are bound to pass through a period of chaos.

 Darkness is the womb that propels the new seed to send its energy into the light. Each rebirth rises from the dead. So whatever happens, we must understand and embrace it as a step towards the breaking of the new dawn, where we at last choose to embrace who we truly are – particles of god co-creating a beautiful future for all living beings anywhere, wherever they may be, and everything in this universe is alive.

Another world is possible – really, we have no other choice.

Occupy to Liberate

So…there is smell of revolution in the air, or at least the first signs that people have had enough of being dominating and manipulated and are willing to rise up and make their voices heard.          

What started some weeks ago as ‘occupy wall street’ has now spread to almost every city around the world.

At last people are starting to voice their frustration at being taken for a ride, at being given a tiny slice of the pie while a small minority is eating all the cake, hence the slogan we are the 99 precent.

Some of us are even seeing that the whole system of sharing the cake is rotten and needs to be replaced by a new way when it comes to harnessing and trading the earths rich’s.

Few of us can recognise that perhaps we have taken an utterly distorted view of what life on earth has to offer us.

Two opposing forces are at play at the moment. The force of greed and domination and the force of love and sharing, thus we must make our voices heard and stop sitting on the fence. The force that sings with heart and fearlessness will win the day.       

Some vey dangerous developments occurred in the last few days and all of us must be very alarmed by the latest trend.

Both in Greece and in Italy the elected prime minister has been replaced by non-elected technocrats…and yes off course - economist. Ok, I am sure you can see what I am getting to here. The bankers are upping the stakes in their quest to rule the world.

Off course the whole current economic crisis is off their making, in order to rob us of more of our basic human rights, force governments who have not done so up to now, to sell the last of their public assets such as water to the ‘private sector’ and strip the people of the little support they were still receiving from the governments.

Actually what we are witnessing is a very clever media campaigned to convince us, that we must go further down the road that has led us to this mess, in order to clear it up.

Again they tell us that our rights and freedoms must be curtailed in order for the economy to survive. Ha! What a joke, and what is this thing we call ‘the economy’ if not just the playground of the corporations.

This whole mess is about banks, hedge funds, investment houses; actually in more simpler terms – gamblers who gambled on the wrong cards and now are making us all pay the price while off course they get pay rises.

We must expose them and bring on the change we want to see. We must start to articulate this change and envision it in our hearts and minds.

There is one issue though, one important point which feels very sticky to me. What’s in a word??? Well, we all know how much energy words hold, so why ‘Occupy’?

Somehow this word ‘Occupy” doesn’t gel so well with me when I envision my future. It feels aggressive, dominating and intolerant, and seems to be borrowed from the world we wish to leave behind.

And to be honest I don’t want to ‘occupy’ Wall Street or anywhere else for this matter. I would rather ‘liberate’ wall St. from its illusion and pain. I would rather release, free, unshackle the world rather then ‘occupy it’.

At the same time it is our moral duty, all of us, to support the emerging ‘occupy’ movement. We must carry the momentum and turn the thousands into millions until we all sing the song of hope together.

And like any movement, let it be a dynamic force that is open to change and evolution…so yes…let us liberate the world from its current bullshit, which is really starting to smell bad from all the lies and deceit we are fed…. and replace it with a world of sharing and love.

Another world is possible…she is on her way…and she is smiling already.

Redefining Resistance

For many, especially the ones on a so-called spiritual path, resistance is a word with negative connotations attached to it.  

In 1967 Martin Luther King Jr delivered a speech at riverside church in New York City. I do recommend downloading this speech from the net and listening to it. Although spoken forty-four years ago, it seems that little has changed in the world since then. Perhaps a few of the names and places had though nothing else.

 The main theme in this speech was that  “a time comes when silence is betrayal”.

Now, no one can accuse Mr king for not being a spiritual man. Yet a moment came in his life when he recognised, that to just stay focused on a so called spiritual path, without undertaking action in the world, means; betraying the circle of life.       

So how can any of us remain silent, while the flag carriers of material barbarism continue to pillage the earth! 

What are we doing when they keep on waging wars in the names of freedom, when we know that they are fighting wars for profit.

What are we doing when the spectrum of thought and action in our lives is daily narrowed to a tinier bandwidth.

Are we saying anything, are we doing anything? Or are we doing what we do best – which is nothing.

Are we cultivating a responsibility to life, society and the earth, or have we lost our ability to respond with right action.

I called this post  ‘redefining resistance’ because whatever we have done up to now, the little that we did do, just hasn’t worked.

In recent times we marched against a war and the war still happened.

We have blockaded the logging of forests and forests worldwide are still being cut. Forest that hold the balance of life within their life-giving spectrum.

We have protested the WTO and G8 etc., and they are becoming more and powerful by the day.  

In fact we are ruled now by corporations rather than by governments.

I hope that we are all aware, that governments worldwide are enacting laws to prevent us from growing medicinal herbs in our gardens, this on the behest of the giant pharmaceutical companies.

And the list goes on.

So something in our resistance hasn’t worked, or perhaps we have been scared or unwilling to stage some real resistance.

At these very weeks the Arab world is rising,; sick of the dictatorships and dynasties that have ruled it for decades. The west seems to support the uprising (offcourse, if there is a uprising in Saudi Arabia, no one will support it – oil my friend).

How about we carry the momentum into our own countries; the so-called beacons of democracy and watch how our governments react when we demand that they hand back the reins of power to the people. 

It’s time we stopped the world around us, and told our leaders that we don’t want and will not be ruled by the corporate masters anymore.

That we don’t want to be bred and programed to be human consumers - we want to be human beings.

That we want our human rights back! One of them is the right to choose how we want to live our lives.

That we are sick of being told lies, that GMO food is good for us, that poisoners medicine is good for us, that fluoride in water is good for us, that a share market barbarian economy is good for us.

We need to reclaim the streets, as our brethren are starting to do in some countries. 

We need to bring their world to a halt and tell them know of the world we want.

We need to stop cooperating with their system, a way that is exploiting all of us and we need to do it NOW.

We used to go and march for two hours and go home. Now we may have to take the streets for months and only go home when we see the change that all of desire to see.

A world that is fair. A world that is based on principals of sharing, rather than values of greed.

A world where we care for each other, and no one is left behind.

A world with no giant corporations – a world with endless cooperation.

Another world is possible, we can and we will.

Earth in Transformation

   

                                                              

At present we are witnessing a process that has been envisioned by most indigenous cultures since long ago.

The earth is attempting to shake off her back, the most poisonous parasite to have ever inhabited her – we human beings. 

Any of us who have bothered to connect with earth cultures and listen to their myth and stories, have been aware for some time of the coming of the age of renewal, which is upon us now.

In fact much of what we attribute to myth and culture was based on precise scientific calculations, ones that we are still incapable of executing with all our advanced modern paraphernalia.      

The earthquake and tsunami in Japan are just more events, designed to rattle us into a space of being really present with life. 

We are way beyond a wake up call at this stage. We are in it, and whoever wants to live in denial of what is anymore, will just have to bear to consequence.

So what do we do now? Do we sit and wait and do nothing, because anyway it’s going to happen?!

Some years ago I joined Sunderlal Bahuguna, a noted Indian Environmentalist in a fast against the building of the Tehri dam.

I remember asking him why he was taking this action, when it was clear by than that the construction of the dam would proceed.

“This is not for me or the dam anymore. This is so future generations will see that someone did care. This is not for the result, this is for the sake of undertaking right action; action rooted in truth and understanding.” He said.

So... the earth changes will happen regardless of what we do anymore 

We have a choice though; we can sit and do what we do best – which is nothing, or we can cultivate our ability to respond from the depths of truth and connectivity and shine the light for the rebirth and renewal of life on earth.

Gone are the times where colourful weekend marches and some light pseudo spiritual fluff are going to affect any change.

It’s hand on deck time; be it our action in the world, be it our self-transformation into beings that abide in all spaces and in all dimensions.

As far as I see it, the key word is trust – trusting that we are supported and one with the Great Spirit – thus holding and sharing the power of the one love.

Another world is possible; in fact she is being birthed at this very moment.
