My dear friend, You are needed in this tumultuous time. There is suffering, tragedy, and despair all around you, but you must see past it all. When you do, you will realize that we are winning. Do not think that there is not enough time, that there simply aren’t enough of us, or that “they” are just too powerful. This is all rubbish. The rulers control the banking system, but their “money” is printed on cotton and created out of thin air; it means nothing. They control the media, but once you have learned the truth, you become immune to falsehoods, distortions, and propaganda. There really is no going back to a life of ignorance. Every bit of information you have assimilated has changed you forever. You know the path is difficult and fraught with danger. You should never underestimate the power of the Dark Side, especially in times like these. The practitioners of black magic are working tirelessly to push you toward fear, hatred, jealousy, anger, aggression and any emotion that brings you into lower states of being, away from the love of the universe. Be not attached to the material world around you, as it all falls to dust in the end. If you desire nothing and love all, then you cannot be corrupted by the Dark Side.
There is no reason to be afraid. The "powerful" people of this world have no power over you. You are a sovereign being shining brightly, illuminating the darkness that tries to creep in around you. "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter." You cede your power to others when you fear death, which drives all other fears. However, it is completely illogical and counterintuitive as death is the only certainty there is in life. “Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force. Mourn them do not. Miss them do not."
Part of your power is your infectiousness. Every word you utter and every action you take affects the world around you. Even though there are many closed minds, there are still many open souls receptive to the waves of truth that emanate forth from your very presence. You can never be fully conscious of the full impact of the light you absorb, transform, and create, but you should know that your ripples extend in all directions into the waters of time further than you can possibly imagine.
Understand that you are the only you. There has never been, and will never be, another you. You are unique. And the entire world and all that you consider “reality” exists within you just as you exist within the world. You are connected with everything that exists and are one in the same. Your power and extent are limited only by your ego. Take from this what you will, but take only what you need.
Amazingly, there are others like you. Although it might seem like it sometimes, you are not alone in this world. There are currently more enlightened, spiritually evolved people on this planet than there have been for quite some time, if ever. And the numbers are continuously increasing despite the rampant materialism and consumerism of our culture, the poisoning of our food and water, and an educational system and media that discourage real critical thinking. It is also hard to see the reality because the awakened ones are spread out across the globe in a thin layer. This distribution is in direct opposition to the centralization of power that is occurring with the Dark Side of the Force. So whenever you start feel pessimistic, realize that you have allies all over, the most powerful of which is the Force itself.
You know there is hope. But this hope lies not within any man, group, or ideology. It lies within you. This is the turning of the tide and humanity needs you. "Always in motion is the future." Go and create your reality.
May the Force be with you,
X

The Force is Strong with you Young Skywalker!
Ferdinand, I think we are soul brothers... I often stand alone in my beliefs, but we seem to think the same. Keep overcoming the world with light and resist the dark side. A fellow Jedi. I am.

Being a prism of positivity and "reality"
Kudos!!! In this article you serve as a "prism" or more appropriately an applifier and distributor of Light. As I have heard from another strong in the Force (no reference available), the dreamer and the dream are inherently connected and we are all interconnected dreamers. Keep that positive energy flowing and grow in the dream cycle! by Jeremy Haumann (0 articles, 0 quicklinks, 2 diaries, 54 comments [2 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Thursday, Oct 9, 2008 at 7:03:45 AM

Spiritual Connection
This philosophy is very much in tune with the compilations put out every other week or so by Jean Hudon, who manages the Earth Rainbow Network site. I subscribe to his list, and I would encourage all progressives who wish to know more about the spiritual connection to world events to do so. by Bill Cain (3 articles, 0 quicklinks, 0 diaries, 434 comments [67 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Thursday, Oct 9, 2008 at 12:15:09 PM

This is not a Fantasy World - Take Inspired Action
It may be tempting to sit back and simply enjoy a moment of being inspired by Ferdinand's article. Then the moment passes, right? As a being of integrity you could also use your moment of inspiration to commit yourself to taking inspired actions, actions that may continue beyond the period of being inspired. Perhaps the actions will involve your entire life. But what a great life! What else were you born for? To be gullible? To be a sheeple? Clarity does not vanish. Ferdinand has provided some clarity here. What would happen if you were to make actual use of it? "There really is no going back to a life of ignorance. Every bit of information you have assimilated has changed you forever." Start where you are in this inspired moment and go forward. Take actions like Naomi Wolf is taking actions. Read her book Give Me Liberty. Do you think she planned out what she is doing right now? No she did not. www.myamericaproject.org. She is making it up as she goes along out of raw passion for the clarity she is creating. She takes one step after another, the step that is before her, not knowing what the next step will be. And her actions are making a difference. Yours could too, if you would only take those actions and not just fantasize about it. Cool it with the Yoda movie quotes. This is your life. "Part of your power is your infectiousness. Every word you utter and every action you take affects the world around you. Even though there are many closed minds, there are still many open souls receptive to the waves of truth that emanate forth from your very presence. " So stop sleepwalking - it only puts the world to sleep. Instead have a Wake Up Meeting at your house each week. Meet in the name of finding out what you truly want to create, of living how your heart truly wants to live. Visit www.just-stop.org for more inspiring ideas. Read Radiant Joy Brilliant Love by Clinton Callahan www.radiant-joy.com for how to make love happen in your life. This is all new territory, far beyond the thought limits of mainstream culture. They did not teach this stuff to you in school because the teachers do not know about it. The politicians and government officials do not know. The bankers do not know. The door is wide open right now in front of you, but only you can take the actions to go through the door. Start regular weekly meetings no matter who shows up. I am doing it. It is fantastic! I never know what we will do together. Sometimes it is only two of us. One time it was 19 people! I just announce every where I go that the meeting is happening at my house at 4:30 EVERY Wednesday! Amazingly it works each time. And it is so inspiring! Don't argue at your meetings. No one has to be right. Don't try to create answers. Just ask dangerous questions. No drugs. No alcohol. Just enjoy each other's intelligence creatively at play. Study books together like David Korten's The Great Turning www.greatturning.org. We just had our regular Arkbuilder meeting yesterday, in my home, with 9 people, and then had soup for dinner together. It was wonderful! We are living in the context that we want to live in already, now, and it is not at all bothered by those people who think they have power in our lives. They don't. It is their fantasy world. Live your life knowing that those elite psychopaths in positions of political power probably are not having as much fun as you are right now reading these words. Life works. Turn off your TV. Stop buying anything that is not produced locally. Let go of the mainstream madness and make a permanent peaceful transition to a sustainable, locally based, decentralized, low-energy, resource-conserving community-oriented village culture. It is simple. Just shift to it now, permanently. Let nothing move you out of that culture. Who chooses what culture you live in in each moment? Prove it. For example, if you are working for money, just stop. Life is not about working for money. How silly! Work for what you love to do. Find other people who work for what they love to do and then find ways to live together without money. Share your life. That is what it is for. Banks create the money game. Play a different game. (Or keep being owned by the banks, if you want. It is your choice. Always has been.) Practice what you love to do until you can deliver your gift and unfold your talents. Even if it takes years. How do you know you have gifts and talents to deliver? Because you were born! Grow up! Find out who you are as Archetypal Woman or Archetypal Man. You do not yet know. Work out a true long-term rite of passage for yourself into adulthood. Modern culture provides us with no rite of passage, so we are left juvenile, adolescent, like all leaders in modern culture. Go walk on fire. Go vision quest. Fast for 10 days in the desert or the woods. Complete some writing projects and get them published. Study. Take some trainings where you learn how to feel, and learn how to use the energy and information of your 100% maximum archetypal feelings to make wise decisions in your life and take responsible actions. www.callahan-academy.com. Stop cooperating with the empire that makes you only a slave and cannon fodder for corporate profits, coming home contaminated with Depleted Uranium dust in your lungs. It is your life. Do what you want with it. Or keep being gullible and thinking you do not have the authority to live your own life. Again, your choice. Thanks for thinking about all this stuff with me. Have Fun!

I, too, was inspired by Star Wars...
Duhn, duhn, da da da, duhn, duhn, da da da, duhn, duhn, dah da da duhhn. I, too, was inspired by Star Wars (seeing the first as a toddler and actually crying during the climax of the second film). But, as I've grown older, the reality that life is not a movie has set in. “I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful force controlling everything. There's no mystical energy field that controls my destiny.” In our common reality it seems like "The Empire" will probably win. Especially if we do not talk seriously and specifically about the very real problems we face on Earth (the only habitable planet I know of). by R. A.

Beautiful!
Wonderful Ferdinand! This is not "idle thought" dreamer pondering, but the attitude we should all maintain, and from which we should work, no matter WHAT is or isn't going on in the world around us locally, nationally &/or internationally! This is simply the best way to maintain and keep on keepin' ON!!! It also disarms the malevolent ones considerably! by G Achin (1 articles, 0 quicklinks, 3 diaries, 110 comments [9 recommended, 0 rejected]) on Thursday, Oct 9, 2008 at 6:27:25 PM

Health Freedom is about to go BYE, BYE
Please support these wonderful bills by Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul and Rep. Cannon. Times are going to get a lot tougher. We need to have the freedom to heal ourselves instead of depending on the pharmatocracy that is stealing our health and robbing our wallets.
