The following article was found on the freespeechtv political forum and although I don’t like to think in such extremes, (perhaps, it is my conditioning) I think Americans should begin to take responsibity for what we allow our government to do in our name.

You say “It’s not my fault the government is corrupt” But, a democracy, lest you forget, is ‘by the people, for the people’ and you are the people. A democracy should be overseen by all of it’s adult citizens, including you.  If the government is not working it is the peoples’ job to shut it down and start anew. This is written into our constitution.

 If you think you can hide under a rock and be free of your portion of the blame, you are living in an illusion. It is very clear that the reason we allowed this is that we were comfortable, we liked the way things were…we had it all. So just let it go when you see a wrongdoing, don’t let it affect your little world.

Well, dear friends, that day is past. God Bless planet Earth and it’s inhabitants…but, remember this, the Earth will rejuvinate itself once purged of all sleepers. The Earth has a constitution greater than anything else. We shall perish, but the Earth will begin anew, and the sooner the enlightened ones are in control, the less will die.

“I believe anyone not in favor of moderation and compromise ought to be castrated.” -Benjamin Franklin

I am truly amazed on a daily basis at the energy being expended on healing the the planet and it’s lifeforms. People are really rising to the occasion. We who experience the light force or source energy, with it’s love and compassion for all beings truly see the shift slowly  (or like lightning speed depending on your perspective) taking place on the planet. One must look beyond the chaos, beyond the smoke and mirrors. If you have attention on it, it appears…hmmm, isn’t that quantum physics?

I invite you check out Dama De’s newsletter…she’s now in the Turks and Caicos Islands just having returned from Costa Rica. I don’t even know her and I love her spirit, I think you will too.

Video Description

At the recent 5-day Integral Institute seminar on Integral Business Leadership,
Ken Wilber was asked, by a senior Zen teacher, “What do you think of the Republican convention?”

Ken responded by giving an overview of what a truly integral politics might look like, and used that to compare and contrast with the Democratic and Republican conventions, both of which are less-than-integral. We think that this twenty-minute summary is brilliant, insightful, deadly serious, and wickedly funny, all at once. But by all accounts it is an extraordinary account of why all politics today are considerably less-than-integral, along with certain features that almost certainly would have to be included in the future in any truly integral politics.

In this synopsis, Ken focuses on three items that all political theories have attempted to address but none have managed to fully integrate. These are the tension between (1) the individual and the collective; (2) the source of the cause of human suffering: is the individual primarily to blame or is the society primarily to blame?; and (3) the different levels of development that the different political parties tend to represent: any truly integral politics would include and represent all of them, and yet how on earth do you do that?

Due to time considerations, Ken did not discuss two other equally important ingredients in any integral politics. One. In representational democracies, people have a right to be at whatever stage of development they are at, and generally speaking, within free speech, a right to express the values of whatever stage they are at. Traditional-fundamentalist (blue) has a right to be traditional, modernist (orange) has a right to be modernist, postmodernist (green) has a right to be postmodernist, and so on. This is generally modified in practice, to the extent that the center of gravity of a culture will tend to impose its values on others, especially if they are first-tier (or less-than-integral) values. Nonetheless, in democratic societies, there’s a general background understanding that people have a right to be, and a right to express, whatever stage they are or whatever belief system they possess.

Two. They do not, however, have a right to act on those beliefs. This is generally handled in representative democracies by a separation of public and private, and by a similar if more specific principle of the separation of church and state. This means that, for example, in the privacy of my blue-meme mind, I am free to believe that Jesus Christ is my personal savior and that nobody achieves salvation without a belief in Jesus. In public behavior, however, I am not allowed to burn at the stake somebody who disagrees with me. In terms of integral psychology, this means in the interior of an individual (i.e., the upper left), the person can believe whatever they like; but in their public behavior (i.e., the upper right), they must behave according to laws drawn from a worldcentric or higher level of development (lower left), or else they are charged with civil or criminal behavior and removed from society if necessary (lower right).

This separation of church and state, or more generally what Max Weber called the differentiation of the values spheres, is one of the great and enduring contributions of the Western enlightenment, a contribution almost entirely misunderstood by extreme postmodernists, who in fact are operating under its protection while bitterly condemning it.

(The most common version of this is the aggressive attempt to reduce “I” and “It” to “We,’ or the attempt to reduce art and science to a social construction, which can therefore be deconstructed. As it turns out, this reductionism presumes precisely what it denies, but then, deconstructive postmodernism has been little without its performative contradictions.)

A truly integral politics exists nowhere on the planet at this time, principally because not enough individuals have emerged at the integral levels of consciousness, and hence no governments anywhere have integral representatives as members (except rarely and by accident). Its principal challenge is to create some form of governance that allows each stage to be itself within the constraints of not harming others (i.e., to let red be red, and blue be blue, and orange be orange, and green be green, etc—precisely because, as we saw, this is a right in virtually all free societies), and yet to govern from the highest, widest, deepest, and most encompassing levels of development emerged to date (starting at yellow). Most representative democracies do this anyway, except their center of gravity is not yet fully integral, and they do it implicitly, not explicitly.

Being single and longing for a partner or just someone nice to hang out with has it’s ups and downs. Alas, being on a spiritual path can add to the complexity.

On my spiritual path I have learned not to be co-dependant, which is a very good feeling, but, most single men don’t understand a woman who is not needy to some degree. They don’t understand that your friends are still an important part of your life, they can’t understand why you are devoted to your work and lifestyle. My time is important to me, do I want to give up several evenings and weekends to someone who may disappear in a few weeks or months? Of course not. So deciding to start seeing someone is a tricky endeavor and requires a delicate touch. There is also the the chance that you may find the person not suitable and risk hurting their feelings…which, personally, hurts me almost as much as it hurts them.

Likewise, scheduling a night out in advance can be too obligatory as I value my alone time and cannot schedule when I need it and last minute is too chancy for the same reason…so you see the possible dilemmas of a single person.

The one truly great thing about being single is not having to answer to anyone at anytime. Once you are used to this lifestyle it is not easy to give up. I can configure my day any way I wish from start to finish…I don’t know any marriage that has that luxury.

If you have some good single friends to go out and have fun with and all the other areas in your life are in good shape, well then, being single can seem quite nice. But, as we all know, everything changes and all your single friends drop off for various reasons; one friend takes a job in another city, another has to take care of ill parents and another is now in a relationship.  You find yourself alone with little to do. You don’t like going out solo, your married friends invite you but, being the third wheel feels somewhat lame…

Well then, being single can suddenly feel quite lonely.  The down side.

There is a Buddhist saying I learned years ago; One can be lonely, but not tossed away by it.

This is helpful if you consider that one is never truly alone. But, you still long for something, someone to feel more alive, to matter.

If you are on a spiritual path and are having difficulty meeting other conscious people, I might suggest you check out Spiritual Singles. It is a great place to cyber-mingle with some truly great minds and souls. I highly recommend it for the diversity of it’s international membership.

I have suffered from allergies for the past few years and have learned that allergies most often stem from a toxic liver. Liver toxicity most often stems from injesting molds and affects everyone differently. Dr. Hulda Clark says that most packaged foods have some mold content.

Taking some good vitamin c when eating packaged cereals, nuts, bread, etc…is a good idea when your allergies are flaring up. The vitamin c actually kills the mold. The best help is natural health for allergies. I also have found that liver support herbs and liver cleanses can all but eliminate allergic reactions. Most herb shops sell a liver cleansing product or click the Shaman Shop link  here or at the end of this article.

A few suggestions to help you conquer your allergies naturally:

1. Identify what you are reactive to, and avoid allergic reactions as much as possible.

Minimize exposure to alcohol, corn, dairy, eggs, food additives, meat, peanuts, prepared and processed foods, prescription drugs, sugar, and white flour.

Instead, eat a diet of fresh, whole plant-based foods that are mostly uncooked.

2. Begin or continue regular exercise. Consider meditation and biofeedback.

3. Take high-quality nutritional supplements. A minimum of 6 grams a day of vitamin C serves as a natural antihistamine and an immune enhancer. Taking vitamin C to bowel tolerance is recommended.

Flavonoid quercitin acts as a natural antihistamine. Vitamin E helps rebuild immune competence. Insufficient vitamin E can increase the risk of allergic reactions threefold. Essential fatty acids inhibit inflammation and build healthy cell membranes; daily cod liver oil is recommended. N-acetyl cysteine helps boost immunity.

Magnesium is important, and a lack of it increases the severity of reactions. Probiotics are helpful, especially with food allergies. Green tea also blocks allergic responses.

A good resource for most of these supplements can be found online, click here If not, usually, at your nearest vitamin or herb shop.

The Benefits of Ionized Water are Numerous!

I am hearing alot of great things about ionized water these days. Lots of people healing chronic conditions just from drinking Kangen Water, originating in Japan. They are even using these ionized water machines in Japanese hospitals.

I would always advise someone who has health issues to bulk up on organic, fresh veggies and cut way back on meat and processed food…just a standard recommendation. The body seems to need a break from these heavy, acidic type foods…but many of the testimonies I have heard say they are healing from the water alone.
