I'm thankful that there is a little girl who will wake me up and take me by the hand to go outside in the wind and sit by the curb to watch the leaves blow off the trees. And who will hand me an instrument so we can march in a parade through the house. Somebody who will remember that it is always a good time for chocolate milk.
I am thankful for other people too. Thankful for love and loyalty, for being there no matter what, for caring, for trusting, for noticing and remembering things I forget. But mostly for waking me up to the preciousness of life in the moment. Making me breathe and making me smile. More >

On the eve of the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, there doesn't appear on the surface to be much to celebrate. We teeter on the brink of war. The environment seems to be lurching toward oblivion. We seem to be caught between one faction of the world that wants to terrorize us, and another that wants to tyranize us.
Yet even while the world seems to be going to Hell in a handbasket, there is still room for hope and thanks giving. Why? Because we are human. We care, we love, we think, we feel, and above all, we ARE.
At this time, when the material world seems to be at its bleakest, we need to realize that it is just that - the material world. And we are spirits living in the material world - warm little sparks of God, living in human bodies. And when things in the outside world get realy hosed, we still have this for comfort.
So when it seems like there isn't much to be thankful for on this day, we can remember that we are still able to form that or any other viewpoint. This means that we are conscious, spiritual beings with free will. And to me, that in itself is enough to be thankful for.
Namaste,
-Craig More >

All things are possible.
So the question is: What do I believe in most?
What do I want most?
More than anything, I believe in eternal life.
I feel life eternal, both inside and outside of me. The Spirit of Life is eternal.
More than anything, I want Heaven on Earth.
The focus of my Newslog focus is becoming more and more about Heaven on Earth.
It's the best of all possible worlds - human, earthly, spiritual, and cosmic.
How does Heaven on Earth come to be?
Heaven on Earth is here now. It always has been here now.
The real question is "how do we come to be heaven"?
We have always been heaven on earth. It's simply a matter of awakening to the truth of who we are.
Humankind has a consciousness, which we experience in our daily lives.
Each of us has a mind of our own, and a vast spectrum of beliefs, experiences, and goals to choose from...
rather magnificent when you think of it, because there is so much we can comprehend and retrieve, inter-relate and construct.
The Earth also has a consciousness, an intelligence, a brilliance... a vast array of life forms, each with their own goals.
Minerals have a consciousness, a life form, which your body depends on (iron, magnesium, carbon, and so on) You'd be dead if it weren't for the life-force - the consciousness - in the minerals.
Gases have a consciousness too. You'd be dead without the life-force in oxygen, nitrogen, and so on.
The cosmos too has a consciousness, an intelligence, balancing the planets, the expansion and contraction of suns and solar systems...
The source of all of the physical realm -here on earth, human life, and throughout the cosmos - is intelligent. To some, it is God. Others call it nirvana. People around the world, from cultures of every variety, have their own name for the All-Knowing.
What is the meaning of this intelligent universe?
That the oneness of consciousness be embraced in all of life.
This is heaven on earth.

As beings of light, our multi-faceted brilliance allows us to experience the manifestation of anything we choose. The question is "what do we choose?"
If you wonder what you choose, the answer is:
you choose what you experience.
If you want to choose to experience something different than what you have been experiencing, you can choose that too.
The question is "what do you want to choose?"
I choose the best of all possible worlds, and since anything is possible, I choose heaven on earth, which I think must surely be better than heaven in the sky. It seems to be that the Earth is such a wonderful and marvelous place. And that *heaven after death* place is not that appealing to me.
So I've been focusing my investigation on heaven on earth, and have been discovering quite a lot about it. It's a way of life with loving kindness and heavenly place. A magical, miraculous realm of beauty and wonder. I believe in this more than I believe in anything, so I'm choosing to focus my heart and mind on the realm and the kingdom of heaven on earth.
I'll keep you posted of my progress.

All things happen for a reason, Andy, and I can only assume your hurt, however temporary and which I felt, was yet one more example of the interconnectedness we share when we are receptive to each other. I hold hurt only temporarily, as well, and use it to go to that place, that special connection we have, I believe, the brain ~ the logical brain ~ where I connect to my godmind through my child eyes.
When I went to that place with what I had written in the comment I posted, it was translated into positive cosmic energy that reads like this: All that you have experienced here in NCN, both people and events, have been necessary and beautiful illuminations along your path.
Go now to that place we both love, the world of the mind, and from there transport yourself into the skies to the tiniest star there is, where you will find me. I am the littlest, clumsiest angel, with two kittens in my arms, a broken wing, and a bandage on my nose from my foot hitting my face when I forget to open my mouth, and I am connected to my siamese twin soul, simpleman. (Nothing's broken on him). Okay, now let's fly together around the world that I have discovered, and which I promised I would tell you about.
The first thing I must tell you is that the Universe, the God of Gods (my God is genderless), needed to create a species similar to the antibodies in the mini-universe of your physical body. The heart of the Universe in my world is the beautiful blue Earth, my Mother. God, my Father, the Cosmic Brain, created humanity, born of the Earth so we would have true "heart," to lovingly bring into balance and protect that which has been created, as the Universe continues to expand infinitely to open continuous possibilities for all it has created. Can you also see the mini-Universe in NCN, Ming's metaphor of his Universe, and how he is doing the same thing, creating more opportunities? Can you also see the analogy in the membership of NCN and the responsibilities and healing possibilities entailed in this particular universe?
In the infinite wisdom of the Cosmic Brain, the first lessons of humanity have been the harshest, because before endowing us with our full power, we first had to learn what the misuse of this power could do. This is why humanity is in turmoil as it is. Our spirits are ancient, reliving over and over the mistakes right up to the edge of the cliff, so it has become embedded in our psyche how power cannot be used. The most ancient of spirits are those of the most oppressed, the most downtrodden, the most rejected, the most wicked, and the forgotten ones. It is thus, because the most ancient have the most wisdom and strength to withstand the pain. Seek out that wisdom, and you will find the missing data needed to access the solutions from the Cosmic Brain.
Each and every human being has been given a purpose without blame from the Universe. The Earth moving off its axis and exploding into bits and pieces is a message, as we see so often in Nature. It can occur if we let it, or we can choose to see that our first healing job involves coming together as a species so that the Earth may remain whole. To keep the Earth on its axis, we must restore balance, and we must do so by first accepting that the Universe loves us equally, and no matter how great or small ours jobs are, they are of equal importance in the Universe's Master Plan, as It relentlessly pursues more opportunities, more adventures for Itself and us, Its healing, protective cells.
Humanity is thus far It's most treasured, trusted and prized creation, so all of the solutions are simple ~ we have endured enough pain. The other 90% of our brain can be accessed simply by opening our minds with compassion and accepting equality and creating and maintaining the integrity of minimal logical systems. This will restore balance and we will heal our Mother, the heart of the Universe.
Remember, all knowledge we believe we have acquired must be re-examined with these things in mind. Because of being in our most imperfect state, this knowledge has been tainted.
It is not God who will ascend us; it is us who will ascend to the level of Gods, when we do these things, and the Earth will be restored to its perfect state by us.
You are an Indigo Child. You are thus because you have been told you are. I am an older Indigo Child because I am an orphan, I am simply called by a different name, God's child. All children young and old are Indigo Children. This is the importance of accessing the childmind in all. If they are told this and treated as such, so it will be. Perhaps part of your purpose may be communicating this to them, and opening their minds as yours has been opened. Only you can know that, because knowing your purpose will bring everything in the Universe together into a meaningful whole when it is true and you feel the doors to the other 90% opening.
This is my story, Andy, my cosmic child. Use this merely as a template for creating your story in a loving Universe of limitless possibilities. May you journey well, happily, profoundly in harmony with all that is.
As always, I surround us all with spiritual hugs and much love ~ Tricia

What is a sacred space?
As I watched the evening news, one story was about the current discussions on what to do with the site of the former WTC. Some want to leave it as an open air shrine. Others want to rebuild the towers, but most want it to be a sacred space of some type.
So, what is a sacred space? It has a different meaning to each person. But to me, it is a place with special meaing - a spiritual location where, to me, God is reflected in place. It is a place that we make, but God enhances.
It asks for love. And it softly, forgivingly requests that we respect it. Our sacred spaces are us, and they are God. More >

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,
committed citizens can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead
What do we expect from this New Myth that we seek? In my opinion, in an environment of tribal awareness – as the earth is now – the Hero of every myth eventually becomes a religious figure, usually evolved from an existing one. There are more than 10,000 practicing religions worldwide, and the numbers are increasing every day. More people have perished in religious conflicts than in any other type (economic/political). Every religion is based on a small number of heroes. Do we want a new religion?
Just as Joseph Campbell said, I feel that the only myth that will be worth thinking about in the near future will be one that talks about the planet, and I think that in this myth everyone must be the hero. Earth is our only home. We all must be Heroes if We want to survive. In becoming heroes, we can heal the planet that others neglected.
In a society of tribal awareness, inherited fears become conditions to maintain security. Technological progress was inevitable, but the spiritual evolvement of the human being has been very slow. In every generation we keep on saying that children are the future, and as a result very little changes. Biologically speaking, our children are indeed our future. But, how can a child know what to create if we (adults) teach them our worst fears? How can a child know what to create if the adult role models are irresponsible toward other human beings and the planet? We have to take responsibility for the future.
We as adults have the power to teach our children by being loving, compassionate, and responsible members of the society. Isn’t that a reflection of all the Gods of earthly religions? We can also teach our children that the terrors of the past are not conditions in designing the future. Justice is not revenge, but reform. We, the people of the present, must be the change we wish to see. The Future should not be based on the phobia of neglect – wars, starvation…. I feel that our children and their children will love us even more if we give them a loving future in which to create and play. Otherwise, societies based on blame and shame will continue.
To me, the Planetary Myth could be referred to as the Collective Human or Global Human. In a self-centered conditional society, the Vision of the Planetary Human seems like a paradox. But, the idea of Collective Consciousness is not an elusive Vision; we can achieve this state of awareness within our own lifetime, and our children can continue to perfect it in generations to come.
This Planetary Myth can be real if we acknowledge that Heaven is everything this Universe has to offer and not a condition for worthiness. In this way, the concept of the Collective Human will be based on an entirely New Thought that encompasses the spirituality of every person – with no conditions. To some people, this might sound like a dream. Risk is the infinite possibility of success, as the Creator cannot lose. How real is the Vision of the Planetary Human? The answer is as real as we want it to be – NOW.
