Don't KILL the Messenger
Michael
My soul-mate and I have raised two daughters aged 33 and 31 years and a son of 29 years and they in turn - with their own partners - are raising our first six grandchildren. Individually they are all completely different - apart from the "GROVE-nose" - the dominant-gene physical nose - and the propensity to be nosey - so to speak - to the point of always wanting to know.
The best thing my children have said of me - is that " he always moved heaven & earth to
get back home to the family as soon as possible - when travelling the world espousing his
‘art of the possible' message "
I travelled into London, last night, to hear the message of another traveller.
He had just arrived from Zurich and made the point that he had found the journey from Zurich to London akin to that from London to Calcutta - and he should know because he has spent a lot of his life in India in search of the answers to his own questions - Who am I & Why am I here.
I am of course talking about Andrew Cohen.
Despite all that is being presently discussed in open forum including the LETS GET REAL zPod - I found his introductory overview to Evolutionary Enlightenment compelling & akin to Tony Blair's earlier master class in how to deliver a party conference speech - in Manchester.
I also found Andrew Cohen's reference to the fact that
this particular phase of
evolutionary consciousness had been going on for about a hundred years or so - absolutely thought provoking - from the point of view of the likes of Aurobindo, Einstein, Dawkins, Hawking, Graves, Pirsig, Osho, Beck, Harding, Wilber etc.
pushing the edge during those last 100 years .. very much befitting of - The Leonardo Link
I have been - a subscriber to the WIE Magazine for some time having previously purchased copies from our local Borders - sympathetic to the evolving format of the publication and welcoming of its broadly diverse perspectives. I have also listened for many hours to Andrew Cohen's " The New Enlightenment " - but his talk last night was for me absolute confirmation that my own long standing commitment to selfless and compassionate support for pushing the edge in the face of apparent intransigence from all around me - has not been a waste of my time - and has provided renewed motivational energy to my ONE and only SELF.
Hail to Brian & his team @zaadz - for providing the mechanism by which ALL us zaadzsters can - walk the razor edge of NOW - and in so doing - change the world ONE hyperlink at a time - Zaadz is INDEED @ the "cutting edge" ...
THE MESSAGE, however, IS that ...
penny on’s underpinning raison d’etre of …
1. establishing a “brand” committed to raising money – a penny at a time – through every consumer transaction on earth,
and
2. giving the children the responsibility and support to administer & manage such a project and BE the ones who decide where/how, the money raised should be spent,
has the potential to establish penny on as THE lego building block template which could glue together all activities involved in the eradication of poverty, so often talked about by the ‘communities’ of politics, religion & science, in line with the UN Millennium Goals.
& THE time IS NOW

At the end of Andrew Cohen's talk - I turned to a female member of the audience and said - just imagine if Hitler achieved all that he did harnessing the negative aspects of this evolutionary consciousness - think what ONE could achieve through the application of the positive aspects of this evolutionary consciousness !
“just imagine if Hitler achieved all that he did harnessing the negative aspects of this evolutionary consciousness “
I believe thats what the Tower of Babel story in the Bible is really about. God confusing the languages effectively ruptured the whole thing - putting off that nightmare for several thousand years. It's part of my chosen Faith Myth, so I'm acting as if it's true. It works better that way.

There is obviously - a need to pass through the ” fire of truth ” and set the ” world on fire ” to provide the mechanism for others to ” pass ”
and for the messenger i'd say 'escape, escape, until you are with friends
until you manage to be a messenger without facing danger, because
it is given to day, it is happening to me.
”Evil is the power of knowledge without humility ”
Yeah being the messenger can be tough. I have done it a few times. Not always a poplular position, especially when you are a woman. And yes yosyama escape until you are with friends…gotta do what you gotta do. And I agree Michael, evil is the power of knowledge without humility. When knowingness is ego driven, it can be very dangerous indeed….very.
