At this MOST CRITICAL juncture

... in the evolution of ALL LIFE
on earth, when ...
AT the same TIME ...
1. China's backing allowed the Sri Lanken president to ignore Western protests and perpetrate the final assault on the Tamil Tigers by surrounding 50,000 civilians inside a tiny enclave.
2. Peter Foster reports from Beijing that …
Zhao Ziyang, the former Communist Party leader, has spoken from beyond the grave to break two decades of official silence on the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989 with a wide-ranging attack on the Chinese political system.
Zhao Ziyang is quoted to have said in "Prisoner of the State: The secret Journal of Zhao Ziyang"; published today that "It is the Western parliamentary democratic system that has demonstrated the most vitality. If we don't move toward this goal, it will be impossible to resolve the abnormal conditions in China's market economy."
3. The "man in the midin" Speaker of the "Mother" of the Western parliamentary democratic system, RESIGNS (the first for over 300 years) because of his inability to control the shambolic state of affairs which has been revealed to the British PEOPLE, by the Daily Telegraph in the last 12 days.
4. "We are being afflicted by a new disease of which some readers may not yet have heard the name, but of which they will hear a great deal in years to come - namely "TECHNOLOGICAL UNEMPLOYMENT". This means unemployment due to our discovery of means of economizing the use of labour outrunning the pace at which we can find new uses for labour." - John Maynard Keynes
5. ALL the efforts of Barack Obama to defuse the problems of the Middle East and to "open the minds" of those that control the lives of the PEOPLE, seemingly are falling on deaf ears.
6. AND NATURE proves that IT IS IN CONTROL of Homo Sapiens NOT Homo Sapiens in control of Nature
I am reminded of :-
1. Dr. Ralph Linton's statement that - "The tremendous and still accelerating development of science and technology has not been accompanied by an equal development in social, economic and political patterns. It is safe to predict that such social inventions as modern-type capitalism, fascism and communism will be regarded as primitive experiments directed toward the adjustment of modern society to modern methods."
2. Larry Elliott and Dan Atkinson's 2007 epic "FANTASY ISLAND; WAKING UP to the incredible economic, political and social ILLUSIONS of the Blair Legacy";
and am considering that Blair's Legacy IS it self NOT an "island legacy" but a collective "top-down" legacy of the Thatcher/Blair/Reagan/Bush/Clinton/Bush "eras";
and remorselessly coming to the conclusion, in the context of my own
long standing commitment to the concept that no man is an island ...
that it is imperative that
each and everyone of the
PEOPLE of our planet awaken
from the "fantasy island"
mentality of denial;
NEW!!! 2009 - THE ZEITGEIST MOVEMENT ORIENTATION PRESENTATION
lest IT BECOME a global
fantasy island MIND-SET
of APATHY & DESPAIR.

FANTASY ISLAND ILLUSIONS
1. The belief that the economy can be sustained on ever-higher levels of debt.
2. The decline of manufacturing does not matter.
3. That prices can continue to fall while wages continue to go up.
4. That the public sector is on the verge of becoming “world class” rather than being on the edge of meltdown.
5. That the labour market can be both flexible enough to beat off the challenge from China and India but cosy enough to attract more PEOPL back to work.
6. That Britain can play the part of the world's policeman on the cheap.
7. The belief that the environment can be sustained with ever-higher levels of growth.
” IT IS TIME to wake up from the fantasy
before the REAL WORLD goes up in smoke”
Speaking about islands:):)
Even continental Europe , UK and Eastern Europe and Turkey need to see how they are connected.
its not about special envoyas of any kind.
its simply about you and me::)
Now given even one delicious recept to 50 cooks they will create 50 different meals:):)
Bon appetito!
IT IS ABSOLUTELY about YOU and ME but IT remains the fact that ALL the YOU and MEs continue to be CONTROLLED by THEM (our new masters of the globe) and until such TIME that ALL the PEOPLE's realise both individually and collectively that BEING CONTROLLED by THEM IS it self an ILLUSION …
no one, no nation, no collection of nations WILL SEE how they are connected.
I see no drma, dilemma or deficit which cannot be overcome by determined personal and collective action.
PrOovided everybody know what radical resonsiblity and commitement is. And acts in integrity. No matter how much heat is going on:):)
I agree… personal and collective action are the only tools we really have to change things… (I include non-action based actions in this statement :-)
I used to think that bursting the illusion would lead naturally into action… I begin to wonder if indeed the recognition of the need for personal and collective action is actually as big a step as having the bubble of the illusion pop.

Agreed Albert…action is vital…it must be part of the walk.
Father says ”pere dice…lies in wait…for all of those who change the game.”
Mother Gaia sends hope, love… and an occasional spanking…no doubt, Michael. The fantasy we are helpless, is not helpful in manifesting “paradise”.
Alan lets hope those bubbles are part of the game ;)
WE the PEOPLE [of the UK], are in revolt …
But two things have definitely changed. The first is the scale of the public’s anger. The second, crucially, is our ability to do something about it. The introduction of the Freedom of Information Act, the growth of the internet, the rise of the citizen as consumer – all ensure that we can track, and complain about, the performance of public and private figures and organisations far more easily and effectively than ever before. The Conservatives, and in particular George Osborne, are already thinking along those lines, proposing, for example, that all government spending of more than £25,000 should be available for inspection online.
What we are witnessing in politics is certainly a revolt, but whether this revolution has truly lasting consequences depends on the extent to which the system changes: not just whether Westminster is scoured of grime, but whether public supervision of elected officials is entrenched in the system.
… and as Linnie has quite succinctly remarked whilst reading Robert Colvile's article in today's Daily Telegraph, over breakfast …
“WE are IN REVOLT and THEY are REVOLTING”
Sometimes I like to use the word innocent. Because some people do not understand what it is like to be awake. Our world seems to care more about the economy than loving each other at times. We talk about it more, think about it more…could we ALL be responsible for the “upward spiral” in the economy?
Thoughts and words are powerful energy…and we are all connected. I have to remind myself when I get too “worked up” about the actions of others I feel are “missing the mark” “lacking the act” Because how I react, think, feel… is creating part of the ripple, in the “falling tides” and the “global cooling”.
Meditative thoughts have been able to change the pH of water from all over the world. I think we could get busy on these kind of things. After all God made us in “their” image. We have the power to change things, together, and we are.
Our world seems to care more about the economy than loving each other at times …
IS ABSOLUTELY the nub of the dilemma and must be acknowledged through ACTION, by ALL who would seek TO CHANGE THE GAME.
As Riane Eisler has said in her book The Real Wealth of Nations …
” It's NOT REALISTIC to expect changes in uncaring economic policies and practices UNLESS caring and caregiving are given greater value. Giving greater value to caring and care giving won't cure all our problems. BUT IT IS impossible to solve our current global crisis, much less advance our personal, economic, and global development, unless we do. If we are to change dysfunctional government policies and business practices, we need a NEW APPROACH to economics in which SUPPORTING CARING - or even TALKING about CARING - is NO LONGER TABOO. ”
throw away your guns and your knifes and your hate…
and particularly your NUCLEAR WEAPONS of DESTRUCTION
because IT IS THE VERY HUMAN and FINANCIAL RESOURCES
which are “spent” on the MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX
which threaten the VERY EXISTENCE of ALL LIFE on EARTH
by NOT re-directing those resources to a “sustainable”
mutually respectful existence for ALL LIFE on EARTH.
As WE THE PEOPLE of the UK, today go to make our vote on our representatives for the European Parliament and Local Government, IT IS apparent that regardless of ALL the problems & debts that our own parlimentary politicians have created for THE PEOPLE of the UK …
Our politicians are agreed: it's everyone else's fault but theirs.
Well maybe it is getting close to the time for love to rule, and everyone to have a say. We are one planet, yes? Not to mention, one multiverse?
4 LOVE to RULE the rule of love IS that WE R LOVE
WE R ONE planet YES ! and …
WE R ONE multiverse of parallel universes and …
as I have referenced elsewhere, in the words of Riane Eisler …
” as life evolved on our Earth, it developed an ever greater capacity for consciousness, creativity, planning, and choice. And while these capacities are not unique to us, they are most highly developed in our species.
Whether these human capacities are expressed, however, largely depends on the kinds of social and economic systems we create.
This makes US, quite literally, co-creators of our evolution ”
… and I would say probably the only LIFE FORMS in our multiverse charged with the RESPONSIBILITY of ACTION of ensuring the very survival of THAT multiverse.
RESPONSIBILITY of ACTION…
Yes, we gotta walk the walk…
Talkin the talk…just collects dust.
AGE-OLD WISDOM for the NEW ECONOMY
