“And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ‘till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from the store. What if Christmas perhaps, means a little bit more…”
My gift to you this Christmas is to remind you that Christmas – and life, is not just about ‘things’ but ‘people’ and ‘feelings’.
Open your hearts as well as the other gifts you receive this Christmas. Know that the good you do for others is good you do for yourself.
Remember that this is a time of year to remember your family and friends, to spend quality time with your loved ones.
Presents are nice but the best present you can give anyone is your presence.
Go visit someone you’ve not seen in a while or give them a call. Just to let them know you’re thinking of them and care. It’s a simple gesture but means so much to those who might not have family or friends around at this time of you.
You are the lucky ones, if you have shelter, light, heat, internet and food to eat, surrounded by those that might drive you nuts but you love all the same. Stop thinking about what you want to buy in the sales! Instead donate to charity or feed and clothe the homeless. Be grateful for what you DO have and make a difference to someone who isn’t so fortunate.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and have a Wonderful New Year.
Wishing you more Love, Peace, Hope and Happiness for 2012!
Bobby
P.S. I’d like to remind you about the film “Joyeux Noël”. Watch it if you’ve not seen it before.
Peace and Goodwill to all mankind!
On Christmas Eve in 1914 during the bloody World War I, the Germans, French, and Scottish soldiers on the front-line called an informal and unauthorised truce. With the other men, who they tried to kill every day because they were ordered and told to shoot at them.
They peacefully met each other in No Man’s Land to share a moment to get to know the men who lived on the opposite side, even though they were aware that their superiors would not tolerate it, they did what they felt was right and acceptable.
It became a true lesson of humanity, a real and heartfelt message of brotherhood and goodwill to ALL mankind, that may have been forgotten by many.
Remember your fellow man today and every day as you go about your life and business and know that they are no different to you, with the same hopes and fears for a better life. Put down your weapons, do what is right and all will be well.
What is so special about 11th November 2011? Just because the numbers are all 1′s based on a calendar invented around 2000 years ago? I’m not sure either but if some say it is auspicious, we should take all the good luck and positive vibes we can from it.
Looking at the Bigger picture, it is also the Age of Aquarius. Yes, when I’m not focusing on the little details I often float up and look at the bigger canvas.
Recently, for me at least, it has been a challenging time for being understood by others, even when I only state the obvious and truth. I’ve always been able to grasp new technology, systems and ideas easily, ahead of the curve. As time has speeded up, new trends come even faster as the latest, shiniest thing is obsolete, as soon as it is introduced. I thought I was born too early for my time due to not being able to show everyone the easier, simpler, truer way that things are. I knew the answer to many things without having to think about it too much or over-analyse. Thinking too much causes us to come unstuck and ego takes over, then the results are never pretty.
But as I’m discovering more and more every day, maybe I’m not too early, perhaps I’m just leading the way. Why do I say that? Because my beliefs echo those described in the article below and always have done.
Now in the Age of Aquarius (or changing times or modern times or whatever makes you comfortable talking about ‘the present’) things are rapidly in transition to my way of life from the stagnant way that many people have been stuck in.
Hierarchies of control will give way to flatter and fairer structure of networks and information. Just like the internet you’re using, sharing information provided to you with friends and colleagues – to make things better for all. Everyone has a voice that should be heard, it is our own responsibility to speak up and out loud. It is up to us to shine brightly for others to see. New leaders will rise.
We all need to embrace the change and polarities of good and bad that we are seeing, the honest and the dishonest, the truth we all understand versus legal double speak. During these rapidly changing times you just need to be able to keep your own balance and focus, whilst everything appears to be falling apart, ready to rebuild itself better. Stay true to yourself and those around you, don’t get sucked into the media pop-News of doom and Political promises. The leaders will rise from everyday people DOing what they know to be right and BEing the best they can be.
Is it time for a new calendar? Maybe or maybe not, although it is definitely a time to being and doing things the new way, a different way and a better way for everyone. Remember, a lot of spiritual people will agree everything was just preparation to kick it up a gear on 11th November 2011. And even if you’re not spiritual, (unless you like the way things are), it is definitely as good a day as any to CHANGE!
Like my friend Gandhi said “BE the Change that you want to see in the World!”
What are these ages? Astronomers will tell you that the Earth rotates on an axis and that this line going through the center of the earth has a slight wobble to it. It goes through a little circular wobble about once every 24,000 years. This cycle has been broken into 12 parts associated with the 12 astrological signs, based on which constellation the axis is wobbling towards. From around 2000 B.C. to 0 A.D. we were in the Age of Taurus. From 0 A.D. to the present we have been in the Age of Pisces. For the next 2000 years we will be in the Aquarian Age. We have been in the transition from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age for the last 50 years. The official beginning of the Aquarian Age is November 11, 2011 or 11/11/11. Some people have set this date as December 21, 2012. Considering that this is a 2000 year cycle, no matter which date you accept, we are in for lots of change in the near future!
Why is this so important? Many people go their whole lives not caring or knowing if they are a Pisces, or a Gemini, or what their moon or rising sign is. This change to the Aquarian age is so important because it changes the astrological conditions for the entire planet. Every person on planet Earth has been and will be affected by this shift. Let’s investigate what will be changing.
The Piscean Age has been dominated by hierarchy, and power. The key phrase for this age was from Shakespeare’s Hamlet, “To be or not to be.” To make a successful and happy life, you needed to resolve this question. The key to the astrological sign Pisces is “I believe.” During this age, in order for you “to be,” you needed to find someone or something to believe in. When you found that thing, you attached yourself to that thing and were guided how to live. This could be a religion, a political ideology, a charismatic leader, work, etc. The keys to life were hidden and secret in the halls of power and in the monasteries and ashrams. But you didn’t need to know these secrets, only to follow leaders and guides who did. This created vertical hierarchies as a result, and it was essential to find your place in the pecking order.
This has been the foundation for human consciousness for the past 2000 years. Everything that you have learned from your parents, and they from their parents, going back 2000 years, has been colored by this Piscean frame of reference. And now that is all changing.
The Aquarian Age will be dominated by networks, and information. The key phrase for this age is “Be to be.” The key to the astrological sign Aquarius is “I know.” This is the age of information. Nothing is secret anymore. All information is available at your fingertips. Where the Piscean age was organized in a vertical, up and down structure of hierarchies, the Aquarian Age is organized in a horizontal network, opening the world up to true equality.During this age, the focus is no longer on your identity and existence (“to be or not to be”), but on accepting yourself as a whole person (“be to be”) who does not need to believe in something outside of yourself. You are ready to accept that you have the knowledge and wisdom within yourself. It is no longer necessary to attach to something outside yourself, but to become a leader of one: yourself. Instead of being a railroad car that is pulled by an engine, you become your own engine. It is your responsibility to stay on the tracks and to keep moving forward.
With this understanding, it is easier to comprehend what has been happening in the world over the last 50 years. On the inner level, since the 1960’s, there has been a huge movement towards personal transformation: self awareness, self improvement, yoga, meditation, tai chi, alternative healing, natural foods, etc. There has also been a major increase in depression, suicide, anxiety, stress, and drug use, both pharmaceutical and recreational.
In the outer world, we have seen amazing changes: civil rights, environmental consciousness, women’s rights, gay rights, global consciousness, etc. We have also seen the rise of fundamentalism, terrorism, partisan politics, racism, xenophobia (the fear of the “other”), and general fear mongering.
This shift is bringing out the best and the worst in mankind. Some people are preparing for this shift by opening their hearts and minds and embracing this new age, and some people are intimidated by the changes that they don’t understand and want to return to a “golden age” in the past, or to circle the wagons and trust only those who are like themselves.
Transformation is never a painless process. When you fast or cleanse to purify your body, at first you feel worse, because toxins get stirred up in order to be eliminated. Once these poisons have been cleared, you feel lighter and more energized. Now imagine that every person on planet Earth is going through this shift. We are heading into a time of radical change. It is a time of great potential growth and expansion, but it is also a time of great potential pain and suffering. The more that you understand what is happening, the more that you can go through all of the changes without losing your balance and stability.
What can you do to help make this transition into this new age of information and consciousness? Here are some suggestions:
1. Have a daily spiritual practice. Every spiritual tradition has one thing in common: a daily practice. This can be many different things: yoga, meditation, chanting, prayer, contemplation, exercise, journaling, etc. It is not important what you are doing, but that you do something almost every day, and do it with an intention to let go of your blocks and focus your consciousness. Kundalini yoga and meditation are the most powerful tools that I have found, but everyone must find their own pathway and collect the tools for their own toolbox.
2. Don’t give in to fear, despair, or anger. There is so much happening that can trigger these emotions: the media, the environment, politics, terrorism, etc. If you understand that these emotions are all symptoms of the Aquarian shift, then you can go through them without losing your center.
3. Don’t be a victim. You have the power to change your life. Don’t give that power away to anyone through blame or resentment. You are responsible for your happiness and grace. Don’t buy into any view of reality in which you are not 100% responsible for making your life work. The Aquarian Age is all about empowerment and consciousness.
4. Be a source of light. The more people who consciously choose to embrace the Aquarian shift, the easier this transformation will go for humanity. It is a spiritual truth that a small percentage of people who have shifted their consciousness can influence the rest of humanity. If you are reading this, then you are most likely one of these pioneers. Find a way to spread your light: teach, heal, create community networks, serve, sacrifice, love. Welcome to the Aquarian Age!
Companies (that also includes Governments, Police and the Courts) only want to do business with you if they can get money out of you – otherwise they are not interested in what you have to say or think. The bigger they get, the more control they have and the lower your chances of talking to a real human being.
Human beings are trying to communicate with one another – but are trying to be stopped by those in control. With Twitter and Google blocked in countries where there are protest against the Government, does that seem right? Whereas the internet used to be like the Wild West and a new free frontier to be explored, they now want to control the information flow. Wikileaks, whether right or wrong in your opinion, tells the truth about what is going on. In return, instead of being honest and open, they are told there sharing of the documents is illegal? Yes, even sharing the truth is wrong if it affects big business (like the US Govt). They want to govern the internet, control the information flow and tax the money made on it, in as many new ways as possible. So much for “freedom of speech”. Let’s milk that too!
Who want’s the control? Government, legal systems, courts, banks and other monstrous corporations all intent on making profit at whatever cost. As these man made entities grow bigger and more powerful, they no longer represent or provide services to the human beings that created them. They now only exist to increase in size and number, even doing business with each other as long as they can make a profit.
If the computer says No then tough, you don’t exist! If the computer pulls up your details for any reason, then expect a bill in the post or investigation. They are always looking to find new ways to charge you and take your money, which you worked damn hard for with your own body and sweat. With the stroke of a pen, they will try to steal it.
You are no longer treated as a human being but a number or a cow to be milked.
But imagine what would happen if you didn’t feed the cow, milked it till it was dry and then continued to pull on it’s udders? Well for the profits to continue for the farmers (or your owner that treats you as a slave) they have to continue milking the cow till it dies.
Now would it not make sense to stop killing the cow and give it a rest and something to eat or drink? Of course it would – but these companies don’t make sense, just money. The organic robots that work for them think it is their job to serve these companies and treat humans as numbers. The companies are not able to have a conscious, as they are fictious pieces of paper that require people to animate them. It is a shame that those that work for these systems forget who really pays their wages. These ‘employees’ function in a similar way to humans, as in they need to eat, sleep and shit – but they differ in the fact they are only able to ‘calculate’ as opposed to think or feel, like real beings.
When was the last time you were able to talk to your bank and be dealt with fairly as opposed to being just a customer to charge extortionate fees who is an annoyance so dealt with by a distant call centre and charged extortionate fees? When was the last time a police officer cared about what you had to say and followed up on a report you made, instead of treating you like a criminal instead? When was the last time you knew someone went to court and got justice instead of an automatic fine or steam-rolled by corporate lawyers? When was the last time that an MP, government official or Prime Minister kept their promise? When was the last time a company dealt with you, with respect and integrity, instead of passing you around an automated phone system, telling you to press various buttons before saying they are too busy?
Government bail-outs in your best interest to stop the economy collapsing? Well that will explain the Bank CEO bonuses then won’t it! Who’s there to check on them? No-one but themselves, so it’s a pretty easy job to get around anything you would probably be fined or go to prison for. Students protest but that doesn’t stop the government going back on their promises and increase student fees regardless. More job cuts and increased unemployment, just what everyone needs, right?
Police cut-backs – now that can’t be a bad thing. If you’ve not heard the ads “It’s probably nothing but…” Yes, you are now being asked to Police your neighbours and family if they act suspiciously or do something strange. Not because they are terrorists – but they can be investigated and some revenue generated.
Inflation through the roof? There’s lots of reasons for that but don’t talk about all the money being printed and new ways to extract it from you. Are you in business? Great, you’ll be loving all the taxes and legislation you have to comply with then. Pensioners going to get hit hard in retirement? Who cares about them… except the pensioners themselves – but have they got anything left to take…
What happens when they can’t get enough money directly from us? They’ve milked the individuals, they’ve milked the economy, they’ve milked the resources of the Earth, so what next? Well the Banks and your Government collude to milk it’s citizens for a few trillion more, from them and future generations. Yes, that’s right – they want future income NOW! Who is there to stop them? Oh, they run the show and don’t care what you think because they don’t think or feel.
Looking at the bigger picture human picture… North Africa and the middle east has erupted in violence because people can’t afford to feed themselves and their families. Other countries have had enough of their dictators.
This is also a sign of how things are likely to be around the rest of the world. It’s only a matter of time, as people can’t keep up with their bills and afford to feed themselves. They are calling for change and it won’t come by itself, it requires people taking decisive and organised action to assert their rights.
Did you know the UK froze Colonel Gaddafi’s assets in the UK on Sunday Feb 27th 2011, having been doing business with happily till then, having stalled his request for his money back till the UN Resolution was passed?
“Officials were working hard to string out the Libyans until the order was in place,” one source said. “It was worthy of Yes, Minister as officials did their best to hinder any efforts to move the banknotes.”
So he was not a criminal (legally) till the guardians of international law, the UN said so. And now his assets have been frozen but the UK Government and UN Council have done nothing to actually help the Libyan people. This money is not the milk but the cream for the Govt., as they say actions speak louder than words. The money belongs to, not the UK or Gadaffi, but the Libyan people it was taken from!
Ever been messed around by your bank when you want to access your own money, just so they can check in case you’re a criminal? Well that’s a different matter – just be aware they will do what they want, whether it be against the law or not.
With man-made and natural disasters sweeping the planet, the Earth is calling out to stop the madness created by the governments and capitalist who only use their calculators but forget to make allowances for humanity.
We are all connected and the problem and therefore the solution is us. Yes, that means you! What can you do? If there is something you care about – take a stand and say enough is enough. People around the world are starting their personal lawful rebellion.
Find other people that are passionate about the same things that you are and get together. Talk to each other about how you can create change by standing for what you believe in together. Like-minded groups of individuals protesting together about local taxes and problems – and demanding change from their elected representatives.
Refuse to spend money with companies who’s business practices they disagree with. Even the UK Government think it is OK to pay a Arms dealer and defence (attack) contractor like Lockheed Martin to do the UK census. Yes that’s right, the taxpayer is paying for services from a company that will use the profits to KILL people. Right or wrong? If you’re having difficulty answering that one then you probably already work for the government and are hoping they do not cut your job soon.
Then when it comes to bigger issues, such as student fees or job cuts, all these groups can come together if they believe in the same thing. Even if the Government makes promises and ignores you, it is not a reason to give up. Change is possible and happening. It requires organised effort and action.
Share information. If you read something that you believe someone else should know about, like this article, share the link on facebook, twitter via email and tell others in as many ways as possible.
Be it a Jedi on a Census form or refusing to pay an unjust bill or fine from the Government. They can’t lock everyone up! Get to know your ‘rights’ because those that abuse them aren’t really going to tell you what they are, else they wouldn’t be able to screw you as easily.
You still have a chance whilst you are alive to make a difference, use that last bit of energy to kick back and say enough is enough. Get educated and read anything that opposes the mainstream media/noise/dogma to get a balanced view, from which you can then decide which is right for you.
Stop the milking NOW!
Bobby
Udders failed!?
Part 2
“Inner storms will continue growing, creating outer storms. Metaphysical teachings will continue to go mainstream. Government will get bigger before getting smaller. Stabilization and the rebound of financial markets will occur through private innovation; they’re not going to heal themselves. This is the beginning of great change…”
2012 – A look at the possibilities beneath the prophecies – Mike Dooley, www.TUT.com
Have you got the message yet?
The planet is being milked of it’s resources for profit as well…
The oil is being taken out of the veins, the air is being polluted so life can’t breathe, the trees being cut down, all in the name of profit!
Remember those nut cases predicting the end of the world in 2012? With the Mayan Calendar ending in 2012, which is actually the end of an age and the start of a new one. How about those saying there is going to be a pole shift? With earthquakes and increasingly erratic weather and natural disasters don’t you think it is possible. Alien contact? Let’s not go there – but since your Government isn’t going to save the world, who is? Are you now thinking maybe those nut cases weren’t so crazy after all!?
Natural disaster are sweeping the world. Do you think there have been more or less than average? Even the planet is shouting for us to STOP! Cut back on consumerism. Don’t agree with the politics of a business you deal with, then stop giving them money. It’s in your hands.
The change is coming and actually here already! You may not be able to see the changed world yet – but just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not going to happen.
