I am writing this to express my appreciation to all the members and participants
of the New Civilization Network.
To anyone who visits this log, thank you for coming. Sharing experiences, thoughts,
feelings through this medium has become a form of healing, focus and direction to me in this
volatile time and being able to put some of my innersense into writing and having people
who share, identify with, disagree with or even criticise what I have posted is turning out
to be a valuable, educational and sometimes enlightening process.

For Everything there is a time. This has always been one of my favorite verses. It has guided me through many of the ups and the downs of life. It has helped me to form new ties and it has helped me to move on. More >

I didn't write the following, in fact the author is unknown. Perhaps we should adopt this as the new mantra.... More >

The Knights of Gaia Academy for Conservation & Peace is actively seeking volunteers to join our Board of Directors and development team (no travel required).
( [link] )
We are creating an educational community whose central theme is sustainability, as it pertains to ecological conservation and social justice. We will achieve this synergy of education through the degrees that we will offer and their curricula: ( [link] ). By locating our campus near the Iwokrama national forest of Guyana, our students will be able to directly experience the diversity of the environment that we hope to protect. By creating all campus facilities using "green" architectural principals and by using renewable energy systems, we will show them how this can be done. Also, by providing students with an entire year dedicated to personal development and team building, we hope to help all students learn how best to cope with and diffuse conflict in all situations ( [link] ).
Thank you again for your involvement & interest. More >

Big Light coming in today, as I have myself experienced such love opening. I am aware of the nurturing energy that is ever present. I have worked with wonderful people today and the love that came to support them in embracing more of their own Essence was beautiful and magical. So loved, supported, nurtured and happy, we are when we open to the love. I had the thought to share this experience of immense love opening. Then the urge passed and I moved onto other lovely happenings. Well then I opened this email and behold the message of Light was right there wishing to be shared. Yes indeed! The work and play that is ready to be more expressed through each of us is being opened and supported more strongly now. May we rise from the ashes of our human limitations and pain, and be as the Phoenix rising! More >

"Poor whites I always found the hardest to photograph - at least in the USA where they have deeply internalized the prevailing American philosophy—that you are yourself to be blamed for your own misery. Thus they are also robbed of the dignity and pride characterizing the poor in other countries."

The new major of Toulouse had invited us for a reception at the Capitole today. Well, not just us, but all the local Danish and Swedish people they could get hold of. On occasion of the recent Danish and Swedish national holidays. Champagne and Petit Fours and official speeches. There aren't all that many Scandinavian people here, but it was still a lot more than we had met before. Very nice of the mayor. And, well, something that is different in Europe than in the U.S. The mayor of Los Angeles wouldn't have thought of inviting us for champagne at the townhall. Or if we had gotten such an invitation, I would have suspected it was a sting operation for the IRS or something. Not that the mayor in L.A. wasn't a nice guy too, and it was a good place to live. But there's a difference in how public authorities deal with the people. Also seen from here. If I call the U.S. embassy with a question, 14 euros is charged to my phone bill. I can go and see the local consulate, but when I tried, it took me a couple of weeks before they returned my phone call with an appointment. And you go through the obligatory metal detectors and armed guards. Not that the consul wasn't nice. But the Danish consulate was a place I could just drop by, and where the consul went out of his way to help me out with I needed, even though he only spoke French. And he sends me a note once in a while when he thinks there's something Danish people ought to know. He gave a nice speech today too. Oh, damn, I accidentally overwrote my camera phone's memory with a backup, so I lost my pictures from today. Hm, I'll have to borrow one of Thomas' pictures, as they were there too, and he didn't mess up his P900 today. The reception was in the Salle des Illustres, which is quite a magnificent place. More >

I joined the New Civilization Network because the mainstream culture is self-destructing. It's a suicide in living color.
I love humankind and I love this planet, so I cannot participate in the mainstream culture of exploitation and destruction, of people and of the planet.
I grew up on a farm, surrounded by nature, and have always been a happy and contented person. Ever since I can remember, I've wanted a perfect world for everyone.
But most people seem miserable, lost, confused.
They hate their jobs, their children drive them crazy, their relationships don't work, their finances are a mess, they're in debt like you wouldn't believe, they have drug and alcohol problems...
their thoughts are confused, their emotions a wreck...
what a mess.
My circle of friends are the best of friends, honest, kind, helpful, intelligent, and lot of fun.
I don't come online to make *friends*. I'm already fulfilled.
I don't come online to find *community*. I already have it.
I come online to learn and to share ideas.
I'm grateful to those who understand this.
I suffer the resentment of those who don't.
