"Begining of the spiritual journey is the realization, not just the information, a real interior conviction, that there is a Higher Power or God, or to make it this easiest possible for everybody that there is an Other. Second step: to try to become the Other. And finally the realization that there is no Other. You and the Other are One, always had been, always will be, you just think that you aren't." ~ Father Thomas Keating

Collective Consciousness

A Conscious Earth www.aconsciousearth.com have organised a collective intention every Wednesday for global awakening

  • Wednesdays 9-10pm in Spain: Collective Intention around the world for Global Awakening

Ideas: Every Wednesday at 9pm, wherever you are and whatever you're doing, focus on World Consciousness. This can be done in various ways. Here are some ideas.

How? 2 possible ways: internally or externally.

  • Internally: Take 3 long breaths and feel a more conscious world throughout your body, while you are preparing a meal, eating, talking, walking etc. (This will probably mean you will do things more slowly, more in the now. Perhaps watching TV is not a good idea!).
  • Externally: Sit down somewhere in silence, perhaps with other people, perhaps in nature. And then do the same as above, breathing slowly. If you like, pay attention to the things around you or the people around you, without labelling and then feel and visualise a more conscious world.

Here is their latest newsletter:

Dear Friends,

Thank you for continuing to join us every Wednesday in an hour of intent for Global Awakening (21-22h Spanish Time). And thank you to all of you who have written us, sharing your experiences that illustrate the Power of this Collective Intention.

One member sent us an article written by Christina Allen, a physics major who became a shaman. Christina wrote in Awareness Magazine last year about how Quantum Theory had proven the power of Intention through science. She described the landmark experiments done by John Clauser in 1972, who observed two atomic particles that had been split from the same Ion. Clauser observes one particle reacting instantly to a change in spin and velocity of the other, even though they were separated by enormous distance, suggesting there was a kind of super-knowledge or Consciousness in place that is beyond time and space, since no time passed in the change from one particle to the next. Christina Allen wrote, "Every atom is connected to every other atom. You and I are connected through this matrix. Experiments that have been done showing the healing power of prayer or intent prove there is an energetic component of Intent that affects this matrix. Intent or Active Consciousness may very well be basic building block of the Universal Matrix."

So please continue to join us in this Intent and spread the word to others. This Intention, shared by the millions of people around the world, whether they are part of the Eckhart Tolle/Oprah virtual classroom or movements like this one, is changing the paradigm of Consciousness on the planet. Your love and recognition of Self is tremendously important and resonating in the most profound way, to benefit the awakening and lessening of suffering of others.

And if this is the first time you've received a message about the Consciousness Campaign, please watch the video to learn about this movement, and how you can participate.

And please write us at info@aconsciousearth.com and share your thoughts and visions for this Global Campaign. And if you haven't already, Register now at www.aconsciousearth.com, so you can receive the free programs available now, and new programs available in the coming weeks.

Namaste,

Goi Peace Foundation

The GOI Peace Foundation is dedicated to promoting world peace, transcending all boundaries of race, religion or politics, with a belief that peace begins in the mind of each individual

They have griten a declaration for all life on Earth. Here it is:

DECLARATION FOR ALL LIFE ON EARTH

PREAMBLE

The earth is an evolving living entity. Every form of life on earth is an important part of this living entity. Accordingly, we, as individual human beings, must cultivate the awareness that we are all members of a global community of life and that we share a common mission and responsibility for the future of our planet.

Every one of us has a role to play in the evolution of our planet, and to achieve world peace each of us must live up to our responsibilities and obligations. Up to the present time, few people on earth have been fully satisfied with life. We have faced conflicts all over the world in competition for limited resources and land. This has had a devastating effect on the global environment.

As we enter the new millennium, more than anything else, the realization of world peace depends on an awakening of consciousness on the part of each individual member of the human race. Today, it is imperative that every human being bears the responsibility of building peace and harmony in his or her heart. We all have this common mission that we must fulfill. World peace will be achieved when every member of humanity becomes aware of this common mission - when we all join together for our common purpose.

Until now, in terms of power, wealth, fame, knowledge, technology and education, humanity has been divided between individuals, nations and organizations that have possession and those that do not. There have also been distinctions between the givers and the receivers, the helpers and the helped.

We hereby declare our commitment to transcend all these dualities and distinctions with a totally new concept, which will serve as our foundation as we set out to build a peaceful world.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES

In the new era, humanity shall advance toward a world of harmony, that is, a world in which every individual and every nation can freely express their individual qualities, while living in harmony with one another and with all life on earth. To realize this vision, we set forth the following guiding principles:

  1. Reverence for life
  2. We shall create a world based on love and harmony in which all forms of life are respected.
  3. Respect for all differences
  4. We shall create a world in which all different races, ethnic groups, religions, cultures, traditions and customs are respected. The world must be a place free from discrimination or confrontation, socially, physically and spiritually - a place where diversity is appreciated and enjoyed.
  5. Gratitude for and coexistence with all of nature
  6. We shall create a world in which each person is aware that we are enabled to live through the blessings of nature, and lives in harmony with nature, showing gratitude for all animal, plant and other forms of life.
  7. Harmony between the spiritual and material
  8. We shall create a world based on the harmonious balance of material and spiritual civilization. We must break away from our overemphasis on the material to allow a healthy spirituality to blossom among humanity. We must build a world where not only material abundance but also spiritual riches are valued.

PRACTICE

We shall put these principles into practice guided by the following:

As individuals:

We must move beyond an era in which authority and responsibility rest in nation states, ethnic groups and religions to one in which the individual is paramount. We envision an "Age of the Individual" - not in the sense of egoism, but an age in which every individual is ready to accept responsibility and to carry out his or her mission as an independent member of the human race.

Each of us shall carry out our greatest mission to bring love, harmony and gratitude into our own heart, and in so doing, bring harmony to the world at large.

In our specialized fields:

We shall build a system of cooperation in which wisdom is gathered together to derive the most from technical knowledge, skills and ability in various fields, such as education, science, culture and the arts, as well as religion, philosophy, politics and economics.

As the young generation:

In the 20th century, parents, teachers and society were the educators of children, and the children were always in the position of being taught. In the 21st century, adults shall learn from the wonderful qualities of children, such as their purity, innocence, radiance, wisdom and intuition, to inspire and uplift one another. The young generation shall play a leading role in the creation of peace for a bright future

May Peace Prevail on Earth
