Every time we smile, we carry the light from Home. We are being re-wired, so our physical body can hold more light while we walk around on this planet. Earth is evolving and we are all walking through it.

Many had to push our way into this life, having parents who didn’t understand us, and we went through all kinds of difficulties growing up just so we could be here...  right now!

We are still growing up.

Treat each other with the greatest respect.  Nurture one another. Play well together.

This we can all do where we live, where our smiles shine into the world and illuminate our chosen ones.  We ARE the chosen ones.  But out there... in the wider world beyond our personal dominion, things are happening that challenge the Earth Herself, and make mankind an oxymoron not only in terminology, but in practice.  Humankind is no longer beneficial for the planet.  Our system is ruinous, unstable, and unsustainable, our politics toxic and corrupt, and abroad in the world, our American presence is especially onerous.

Speaking as an American, my government does not represent me.  I write this page on the day when we celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King, and it is terribly easy to see that instead of the progress of which he so eloquently spoke, our nation has instead gone even more berserk. Now, instead of one Vietnam, we have several.  Now, we have Guantanamo.  We have Homeland Security.  We have more terrible weapons than ever before, and we are using them in defiance of moral law and the very principals we say we stand for. 

Speeches are empty if they are not backed up with the truth. 

We can no longer hide behind Hollywood. Our politician’s speeches are meaningless. It is whitewash.  Our message to the world is not one of freedom, peace, and good will; but terror and repression and a cancerous advance of slavery.  MLK had a dream, a dream as big as his beautiful heart, and he was assassinated for his vision. He was assassinated by our own government, just as JFK and RFK and Gandhi and so many others were brutally eliminated because they would not play by the rules of the corporate Illuminati.

We no longer stand for liberty; and truth is but fable agreed upon. The corporatocracy’s lust for wealth, power, and control is insatiable. “We” destroy all in our path, and there seems to be no limit to the transgressions our government and our Congress is willing to commit against the people, and against all life on Earth.

People often talk about the consciousness and the “collective ego,” but our collective ego is precisely what we should move out of, and even cease referring to. It's a hackneyed term.  “We” haven't arrived.  “We” are collectively asleep.  “We” are not aware of the consciousness of which such people speak, nor are “we” the change they refer to.

“We” are not listening. “We” are not paying attention. “We” are being told everything is OK by a media that is in the employ of the very monsters who assassinated MLK; and “we” collectively do not want to think about all this. “We” would prefer to think it's just conspiracy theory nonsense that has no basis in “our” reality, and if “we” don't think about it that way, it doesn't have to be true.

And “we” keep sleeping.  We don’t think.

I am not “We.”  Neither am I the United States of America.  “We” is the population that doesn't even understand a word the spiritualists say; and the U.S. is a government that is terrorizing the world while they're using the network media to tell the population that “we” are fighting the war on terror.  These are the same mobsters who killed MLK.

I am not “We.”

All is not sweetness and light and spiritual evolution. There is a monster on the loose.

The real issue now is carrying MLK's message forward. It is not enough to repeat a message that is needed now more than ever. We have not progressed. We have, in fact, regressed. Outside of our little bubble and a few other places, such eloquent wisdom is merely a footnote in history. It is a YouTube video.

We must press on.

We must raise our voices together in a chorus of loving yet unstoppable pressure upon the mobsters at the top. They can kill one man, even a great man like MLK; Ghandi; even JFK... Even a President of conscience is not immune to their terror; and that lesson will not be repeated in this paradigm, because no man will be elected now who is not in their service and a mere puppet of the ruling elite. But they can't kill every one of us. They can't obliterate the people. They may think they can, and they are slowly doing it; with every weapon at their disposal, from the Fed to fluoride; but even the army is composed of common people. The national guard is composed of the common man. Government rank and file are real people. The police are common people gone bad, drunk with their own power and gone mad in the service of darkness; but even the police have mothers and grandmothers. They can all be reached and turned.

The assassination of MLK was a grave lesson for us. And yet in 43 years we have learned almost nothing from it. If our guiding lights are extinguished with assassins bullets, we must make a bigger light that cannot be put out.

The root of this light is our inner spirit, and we can meditate to increase and magnify this energy; but while meditations increase our own energetic, we must also realize that our power cannot be hidden in silent meditation if it is ever to have the desired effect.  We must take it out into the light of the World, and ROAR with forceful intent.

Join us. Honor not only the treasured memory of MLK and all that he stood for, but the horror of his assassination and what that meant in 1968; and what it means for us all today. Speak up. Let us honor not the assassin's bullet, but the message that still rings in our ears even now; and now we need it more than ever.

“Almost always, the creative dedicated minority has made the world better.”

                                                                                                -  Martin Luther King, Jr

MLK said so many fine things that we can all learn from and take the measure of now.

Now.  There is no time but now.  They killed MLK in 1968.  They assassinated him for speaking out. 1968. Dear God, that was 43 years ago, a lifetime, and so many other lives lost. Lost.

Remember what you learned way back in typing class, when you were a freshman in high school. 'Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.” Do you remember that?  Now we might better type, ‘Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of their world; their Earth; as one people, under God;

Indivisible.’

For liberty, and justice is no longer championed in the United States of America except in empty speeches; and barely tolerated.

I suggest we all stop expecting the “we” to wise up.  Many of us have shed tears for the loss of MLK and giants like him who have selflessly shown us the way, too often dying for their efforts.  Again, we must realize that our power cannot be hidden in silent meditation or pronouncements on the collective ego if it is ever to have the desired effect.  The assassins paint themselves as patriots and servants of the people, when in reality they are mobsters bent upon our destruction; and they will stop at nothing in their lust for power and worldwide control, including the destruction of the Earth Herself. 

Thinking good thoughts will not change them. 

Thinking good thoughts and BEing the love of which we speak is a vital part of our process, but cannot replace the action required to overcome the mobsters at the top. They are immune to our goodness, and use it against us, relying on us to do as we speak and stop there, having said it; and expecting our love and sublime intentions to somehow penetrate their monstrous agenda.

It won’t.

Expect nothing.
Accept everything.

His message worked for more than 2,000 years.  But we no longer have the unspoiled world Buddha so blissfully enjoyed.  We must stand up and do those things that inspire and lead others to not only want the change we need; but work towards it.  We must not wait for someone else to come and do the work for us.  If there is a second coming of Jesus and the prophets of every faith, that would be lovely, and most providential; but I don’t believe we ought to wait for it and sit on our consciousness in the meantime.

We need connection to our tribe. We need to go barefoot and sit around the fire and sing and chant and drum and dance and cook our food together; raise our children together; grow crops and tell stories and make music and have discussion and create society under the open sky rather than trying to find it  while sitting home alone inside a monitor.

We've been too long living in boxes.
