This is the first of a 7-part youtube series (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCLK2WwxIQU) of a talk by Peter Russel (The Global Brain) that I found wonderful and I thought the TT would enjoy it. I tried 5x to insert it, it continues to appear as red-outlined, pale yellow video box when I am editing the thing but it doesn't show up after I submit....

p.s. and just so they are located somewhere on the TT portal (Berry was kind enough to forward these to me), here is a 3 hour 2 part Richard Hoagland lecture from the 2008 Secrets! Conference that segways well with much that Peter Russell is describing so well in general...
The Hyperdimensional Election of Barack Obama and 2012 part1
The Hyperdimensional Election of Barack Obama and 2012 part2

Greetings to all
Just wanted to say thanks for the links to the Hoagland piece on Hyperdimentional Election......spent my morning watching and understanding (for once) what is being said about patterns...conscienceness... (as above...so below) and how it relates to each and every one of us who envision a change in the mindset of mankind....I think it was the 'orbs' photographed over the crowds at his speech...that put a chill in me...someone's watching...someone cares how this plays out...
DO WE WANT A NEW AGE.....OR A NEW WORLD ORDER ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I wasn't going to hold my breath for change when I saw who Barack was surrounding himself with for his administration........samo samo....I thought.....Zionists....Zealots...Fundimentalists.....we're in for more godwars!!
The rich will get richer....there will be more poor....more hunger ....more distress in our lives for another four...or eight...years
But a vision popped into my head at that moment....something I remembered from my military academy years about keeping your friends close....and your enemies closer!!! Maybe,....just maybe he can unravel the web of deceit and misdirection that has ruled us since november of '63.....maybe, given half a chance, he can lead us from our bullying madness of the last 100 years...down a new path...toward peace and love and understanding of one another....towards conversation....cooperation...progress....happiness..abundance.
So I took down my arrogant blog I used to hammer at humanity with. It did little good other than to help me vent my own frustrations....why, you ask?
I'm giving the guy a chance ...
Hopefully science will be able to progress
will they develop stem cells that cure everything....or will they build soulless super soldiers
Hopefully corporations and conspirators will be held accountable for their actions....or will they be given the keys to the country and the world and run roughshod over us all for another 100 years...it all remains to be seen....
but I'm giving the guy a chance.....
thanks again, Lightwins and Chris for the links and for helping us stay informed!!!
Blessings

I have spent so much of my time describing evil and the evil men that live for manifestation of the typical service to self elitist paradigm (have a whole library dedicated to the cause). All of that research got me nowhere but drained, feeling very alone in what I knew and on my way to being sick. I have since become completely disillusioned with the concept of shining a big fat glaring Light on Evil to reveal it and burn it away. Or maybe I was simply misunderstanding what shining a Light/Love really meant. The following description will sound to many like one burying his delusional head in the sand of lofty esoteric notions, but I have great reason to believe that this is actually the organically growing movement that will ultimately transcend all these concepts of evil and wrong and bad, by no longer willfully choosing to pay so much homage to the alleged reality of evil, and instead direct that focus on individually and collectively shining Light and Love upon those previously hated and despised, thereby binding them to do only good or nothing at all.
If my hunch is correct, the concept of evil can never be overcome by challenging it as if it were something "real", for any attempt to overcome unreality can only perpetuate ongoing entrenched belief in said unreality/myth. It can only be absorbed/assimilated by the focused/maintained practice of recognition of that which is truly real, that being Love and Light in an infinitely inviolate construct. Anything that would challenge our understanding of this can be reduced to a very seductive noise that can be, at any time, disregarded individually and collectively.
If such individual and collective focus on only that which is real were practiced and achieved for any sustained period of time, the effect would be incredible and would reduce a bullying elitist faction to the simple reality it actually is - a brother crying out for help to another brother. Visualizing separation by defining and rationalizing evil is proactive participation in the very thing we think we strive to irradicate. It has been a vicious circle throughout history. Revolution has never been the answer because todays revolutionaries are tomorrows dictators and despots.
We either truly have the inherent and Divine power just waiting to be utilized in harmony with its Service-to-Others intended purpose of a rich and vibrant and Consciously Aware Collective, or we are truly up shit creek without a paddle or a canoe. In light of this logical process of elimination, I must assume the former in enthusiastic Hope that my experiences concerning all of this have not been merely delusional. If they have been delusional, it simply no longer matters one way or the other. If, on the other hand, my experiences in synchronicity have not been delusional, I am already Consciously practicing the very thing that will, when added to the growing numbers worldwide practicing same such understanding, ultimately and much more efficiently/effectively/dramatically finally and truly change this world in direct correlation with the transformation of those awakening to this constant/infinite "Conscious" inviolate reality, not by the irradication of alleged evil men and organizations.
I propose to you and me that there is simply no other way and we do spin our historical wheels in an infinitely patient universe until we finally, individually and collectively, finally get it. Until then we are (in free will Consciousness illusion) what we consume, regardless of erudite justification of said consumption with the alleged presence of evil and evil men....
I offer this, my "closing remarks" in the case I have built in defense of inviolate and unassailable sacred reality. Funny thing is, if I were to successfully defend my client, I would also be proving beyond a shadow of doubt my client's complete and utter lack of need for said defense, LOL
Love/Light, your brother from another mother, Chris
Brother Chris,
I want to give you thanks for that statement. The more that we hold those negative thoughts in consciousness the more energy we give them. It is a matter of accepting, or as Abraham, channeled by Ms. Hicks says, allow for free will to express itself. whether negative or positive. The solution is to focus as you said on that which it positive and in allignment with the Perfect Oneness of the One Infinite Creator which in one word is LOVE. I needn't tell you this.
It is important to be aware of all of this negativity which is surrounding us daily, but it is at the same time important to view it as part of the polarity which we are working to balance. Remember the Yin-Yang and that there will always be a dark to our chosen light, a pain to our chosen joy, Love to hate and on and on. Without the contrast there is only a liimbo of nothingness.
I have been reading in the Fifth Book of the Law of One where Carla is discussing the negative greetings which exacerbate her Rhumatoid Arthritis and her lack of physical energy. She said that eventually she learned to filter out the negativity of the pain as simply noise, like the sound of a jet if you live near an airport, or the roar of traffic near a highway. She said that if the signal didn't have a message of importance it was simply noise. I think that in this time we are experiencing, it is a good thing to hear the noice and be aware of it, but to filter out that negativity which only exacerbates the fear which it is designed to create. Otherwise as Abraham said, we willl simply attract more of the same to ourselves.
So Huzzah for your comments above little brother.
With Light and Love brightening the dark side Berry
Chris,
Thank you for those words; I am touched and inspired. I'd like to send them out to a few friends with your permission. And, Berry, you, my brother are a bright light. I am pleased that you hare here on this planet at this time with us. Thank you.
I, and I am sure that I speak for Chris too, am pleased that anything we post here which can serve others in pointing to the Light of the One Creator can and should be shared. That is the whole purpose of service to others. Neither of us place comments here for self agrandisement as we are sure that all of you know. Please feel free to share it where you feel it will cause good.
With Light and Love brightening the dark side
Berry
I appreciate what you are saying and, for myself as well, anything I've written here I would willingly let others send out. However, even though I am 99.99% sure it would be ok, I feel better waiting to hear from Chris on this before I send out his words.
Blessings,
John
Sorry John, I have been on vacation the past few days, away from my computer. As Berry said, you have my eternal permission to use anything posted by me anytime anywhere, for these things flow from my heart from the same One you are and are always meant for the enlightenment, encouragment and edification of the One.
Here is a post I just posted as a response to Tony, an 82 year old physician and practitioner of alternative medicine who is in process of taking the new TT course lessons. He, like many of us, mentioned feeling like wanting to be a "jihadist" as he witnesses all that is going on. Here is my response to him...
Hey Tony! Good to finally meet you in
cyberspace, the place we really get a chance to understand what the
author of A Course in Miracles was talking about when she relayed to
us, "we are not a body". I love this form of communication because,
although we have not formally met in the body, so to speak, I find I
get to know people as well as I ever have over time.
I can so so relate to your comment about feeling like a Jihadist. In
fact, one of my favorite sensations during my hyper speed learning
curve concerning all of this was how proud I was of a certain world
famous jihadist that had been previously working so closely with the
CIA, and may very well still be! Therein lies a big part of the problem
when attempting to make sense of all the information and disinformation
specifically intended to keep us very busy not quite knowing what is
really going on.
My fail safe (and yours "universally" too I believe) is the alleged
truth that absolutely nothing real can be destroyed and nothing unreal
actually exists. This logic (I will assume until proven untrue) gives
me balance every time I think about it. Another wonderful balancing
exercise to consider (I use it all of the time now) is to look upon
that which your ego's perception believes is not only different or
separate from "you", but also evil or wrong, and say to yourself, "I Am
That" I Am!" If you remember, this is what "God" said to Moses on the
mountain when Moses asked, "Who should I say it is that sent me?". I
look for the wonderful little gems in all religions and this is, for
me, one of those very special gems that can create/encourage
understanding of what is actually real, that ALL of this is actually
One thing, including that which we are tempted to believe is bad, evil
or wrong.
In an inviolate construct where nothing real can be destroyed, ever,
than we can begin to understand that all of these things we see
happening around us are simply free will gestures and manifestations
that are entirely allowed by an extremely/infinitely stable, balanced
and secure Creator, and that all of these manifestations are actually
manifestations of an infinite number of co-Creators that are ALL part
of the same One that can never be divided, but can bloom and manifest
as each wills for eternity, the many pedals, but still One flower. That
all of those free will agents are free to experiment with the truth and
bash their heads against the wall of delusional autonomy for as long as
they wish until they finally come to realize how much they appreciate
being a functioning member of this inviolate One.
And so I continually join with Moses and Jesus and say, I Am That, I
Am! and Forgive them Father, they know not what they do..... Judgment
has been an utterly futile exercise for me, one that continually
entangles me in my own self-inflicted misunderstanding of how secure I
actually am and how true it is that I am not ever separate from any
thing or One. Experiment with this, "I Am That, I Am" and see if you
sense the inherent balance and understanding that it begins to
engender/unfold.
It is actually a win win situation for me because I would do it this
way even if it were not true, but I truly believe with all of my heart,
mind, spirit and soul that it is... Or put it this way - if all we have
is imagination based in temporal fiction in constant flux, I would still
prefer this delightfully balanced path of delusion....
Love/Light, Chris
Just got Sal's email Feb Newsletter and, once again, Divine Synchronicity appears to be the rule of the day.....
Sal's February 2009 Newsletter
Dear Lightworkers,
According
to many prominent astrologers, we are now officially entering the Age
of Aquarius. The popular song stated, "when the moon is in the seventh
house and Jupiter is aligned with Mars..." Apparently that
configuration is happening around Valentine's day (Feb. 14th). This,
along with a solar and lunar eclipse, is creating an especially
powerful pattern among the stars and planets.
All celestial
events, including the precessional alignment of 2012, are catalysts for
change. They are not the cause of change, except perhaps to satellites
and mechanical devices that react to fluctuations in electromagnetic
fields. For humans (who have free will), we may feel the influence of
these events, but we can choose how to respond to them. For most
people, celestial events act as a magnifier and amplifier of energy.
Whatever
we hold in our consciousness gets magnified and amplified during a
special alignment. That means that if we hold fear in our
consciousness, it will become magnified, just as the love we hold in
our hearts also becomes magnified. We have a choice - love or fear -
and we will see in the manifest world that which we place our focus
upon.
In tandem with this perception is the idea that we must
embrace both our humanity and our spirituality. Loving and accepting
ourselves just as we are, complete with human weaknesses and quirks, is
essential. Before we can embark upon a spiritual journey, we must
acknowledge where we are and start from there. Avoiding or trying to
escape from fear only makes it more real and locks it into place.
Instead, it is essential to shine our light directly into the fear,
thereby dispelling it. To do this, we must be brutally honest with
ourselves, as well as loving and compassionate at the same time.
