THE GOOD NEWS ~ uplifting quotes collected by Michael Dean (repost)

“A great miracle is coming for planet Earth, 

and the time is now.

A new consciousness will be created 

by the children of the Sun

as they ascend with the Earth 

to a new place among the stars.”

The Mayan Oracle: Return Path to the Stars

Ariel Spillsbury & Michael Bryner

“This event will be of greater power than any the Earth has ever seen. 

More energy will be released in a very few moments than is typically released 

upon the surface of the Earth in many years.

This energy will take the form of heightened perception

and deepened emotional connection,

rejoining the individual and God.”

Ken Carey

Starseed: The Third Millennium

“We have already entered the first outer set of gates

and are now in the passageway that leads to the inner gates.

The passage through this vestibule is sacred: 

it leads into a new way of being altogether.

And we can already feel that, once we go

through the inner gates, our lives will be

irrevocably changed.”

Solara

“Each one of you is now an ambassador

between Earth and Heaven. Each of you can now say,

‘The new world that is being born today begins here,

with me. I am a co-architect of the new civilization.

The example I set today will be followed

by countless people tomorrow.’”

Dr Martin Luther King

“A vast work of purification is upon us to cleanse and beautify Earth 

as one would beautify and enrobe a bride before her marriage.

And so we greet Earth in her time of joy and accomplishment.

We ask you to uplift her in the joy, in the laughter and in the love

of this great celebration. We recognize that you are still in the

outworking of this great event - while to us

it is already accomplished. “

David Spangler

Links With Space

“Right now, the Doorway stands open. The pathway is clearly

before us. The old road draws to an end. Why wait any longer? 

Here we are, tossed to and fro on the sea of uncertainty,

with no plans, no identity, formless, waiting,

dancing on the spaces in between.

“And as we do, the empty spaces become more full; 

the seen fades away, the unseen is revealed 

as we dance from one spiral to

the next, into the unknown, 

into the New which beckons.

“The Great Work has just begun. 

This is what we came here to do, 

so long, long ago.”

Solara

"This moment signals the beginning of yet another chapter in the drama. 

You are about to rediscover your real identity, your inner powers, 

and the purpose of your tenancy of this lovely world. 

You are about to discover what the Universe really is - and who you really are.

You will soon communicate with beings from other worlds, other dimensions. 

You will release the Creator in yourselves. 

‘Ordinary’ people, so-called, will daily perform what you now call miracles.

All this will unleash a tidal wave of joy, relief and goodwill 

that will sweep away much of your pain, your suffering and your guilt. 

And when that happens, listen hard, my friends - 

and you will hear the whole Creation singing: 

‘Halleluiah! They are coming home!’"

Merlin

London, 1977

“We honor you, we recognize you, 

and we are here to assist you.

We are all here as one family, 

to help Earth to become a new star,

a radiant wing of the Living Library, 

a new Light on the horizon of many sentient worlds. 

We wait for your past to intersect our present 

and catapult all existence into a new octave,

a higher octave of being.”

Barbara Marciniak

Bringers Of The Dawn

“You remember deep within you that we would come.

It was an agreement that was made: You would go and play

your part, we would assist, and then at an appointed time we

would come. Your cells came alive as you remembered.

You laughed, you rejoiced, you lived from that time.

Keep tuning in to this reality. The co-workers on Earth

have prepared the way, have lit the path, have raised the vibrations,

so that soon we can come, we can join you, you can join us -

in Earth, in Heaven, in light, in music, in living.”

Received by Heather Hopkins in a Wiltshire

crop circle during the summer of 1994.

“You are all being born into a higher consciousness:

this is the first glimmer of all the light to come.

You are only a few inches into this new portal of expansion.

In the next five years, you will be accessing encoded places

inside yourself that hold the secrets of the Universe.

Never, ever in your human guise have you

entertained such possibilities.

“These encodings are your prime property.

They are the treasures that you seek - the treasures

that you innately know are yours.

As humans you look for these treasures

externally as money, inheritances, lottery winnings -

yet these innate treasures are what you so urgently seek:

these treasures are your heart’s desire.

They are your God Codes.”

The Pleiadian Council

"We know that this mission is not easy.

We also know that many tears have been shed in

the awesome process of its unfoldment.

Be consoled in the knowing that all tears are soon to be

wiped from your eyes and all your pain dismissed and forgotten.

The glory and joy of what is about to transpire will render all

you have endured a minor expense, a price you would

be more than willing to pay again.

We bless you for all your courage and your commitment

and we honor you for your achievements on this plane.

Take heart in the knowledge that your task is almost over.

This carbon-based planet will shortly burst into a diamond,

a gem in the crown of this solar system’s skies.

The celebration will then begin.

This is Mission Control.

Over and out."

Dynasties... are they a problem? (updated & reposted)

So let's be clear about this: there is nothing intrinsically wrong with children inheriting a busyness or political position from their parents - so long as they are capable and will do as well, if not better. Indeed, this is perfectly natural a phenomenon since some qualities do get passed down the genetic line. 

Even more often, children of famous people will achieve fame on their own terms in a totally different field - but just as often, they get eclipsed by their father's celebrity and end up struggling with an identity crisis.

I have absolutely no problem with the idea of politicians I like and admire - Kit Siang, Anwar, Karpal, to name a few - passing their legacies on to the next generation, so long as their children are equally, if not more, admirable. In the case of all three, I'm pleased that all their progeny have turned out fairly capable and electable. Can't say the same for Mahathir's kids, though... or Najib's... or Badawi's psychopathic drug-peddling son-in-law.

The Beatles changed my life (and perhaps the course of human evolution!)

Watch this classic 88-minute movie (released in July 1964) on YouTube!

Directed by Richard Lester, produced by Walter Shenson, scripted by Alun Owen

Released four days after the film opened in the U.K., A Hard Day's Night was The Beatles' third studio album and instantly became a chart-topper. I remember the film as a life-changing event. It opened at the Rex Cinema in Batu Pahat in early 1965 and completely knocked my socks off. From that moment I was hooked.

Prior to that, I fancied myself as a bit of a snob. Even though I did hear a few early Beatles hits on the radio ("I Want To Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You," "I Saw Her Standing There") I was inclined to shrug the moptops off as just another passing fad. You see, I was never really into radio music, even if I confess to briefly being a fan of Cliff Richard and The Shadows when I was 11. But Elvis didn't drive me wild and I was more into soundtrack music from epic films like Exodus, Spartacus, Cleopatra and The Magnificent Seven.

I got interested in Broadway musicals after hearing an EP with songs from West Side Story and subsequently acquired a taste for Igor Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Bach and Beethoven, before moving on to progressive jazz - specifically the non-swing variety produced by maestros like Dave Brubeck, Charlie Mingus, Thelonious Monk and, later, Miles Davis and Sun Ra.

Watching John, Paul, George and Ringo on the big screen in A Hard Day's Night got me off my musical high horse and made me pay close attention to "pop music." I realized then that the new generation of popular bands in the 1960s were more than mere entertainers - they were harbingers of cultural evolution, prophets of a radical new consciousness, shamans and wizards shaping the dreams of post-war youth across the world.

From Tierra del Fuego to Vladivostok, adventurous pop groups like The Beatles, Cream, The Jimi Hendrix Experience and Pink Floyd were creating a world culture that demolished linguistic, racial, ideological and national barriers - and paving the way for the evolution of a true planetary consciousness.

Wilfrid Brambell as Paul's "very clean" grandfather

The eleventh Beatles studio album, Abbey Road, was released in late 1969 - but an earlier project, Let It Be, didn't appear till May 1970 because tensions between John Lennon and Paul McCartney got in the way. Soon after that The Beatles dissolved themselves as a coherent musical entity and went their separate ways. I will always respect them for knowing when to call it a day and quit while their music was still strong - instead of forcing themselves into churning out more albums just for the money.

The Beatles turned on a lot of teenaged girls (sexually) and teenaged boys (mentally)

Brian Epstein (1934-1967)

PhD dissertations have been written on the cultural and sociopolitical impact of The Beatles phenomenon on the later part of the 20th century, so I won't attempt to reinvent the wheel. Suffice to say, as can be evinced from watching A Hard Day's Night again - after 47 years - the dynamic, complementary chemistry of these four lads from Liverpool created a powerful synergy that's akin to what happens when you mix Fire (John Lennon), Water (Paul McCartney), Air (George Harrison) and Earth (Ringo Starr) into a cohesive, coherent whole. A lot of the credit goes to the genius of director Richard Lester, whose use of hand-held cameras and quirky editing influenced a future genre of music videos and the popularization of cinéma vérité in mainstream movie-making.

George Martin, wizard producer

The creative input of two latter-day wizards must not be discounted. Initially, it was Brian Epstein the visionary entrepreneur, who saw the Beatles' commercial potential and undertook to manage the boys, shaping their trademark hairstyles and smart dress sense, without muting their natural exuberance and playful wit. In the studio, George Martin took over the wizard's role in helping refine and shape the Beatles' unique sound. Martin did all the orchestral arrangements and was savvy enough to not stand in the way of their innovative spirit.

What The Beatles did for me was to inspire me to be more myself - to become aware of the vast possibilities of creative synthesis. Their musical output - especially beginning with their seventh studio album, Revolver - began quantum jumping in terms of lyrical and musical eclecticism.

The Beatles were adventurous in that they experimented with altered states through cannabis, mescaline and LSD - and were able to incorporate their expanded consciousness into their artistic vision. In so doing they became cultural messiahs to subsequent generations, leading them beyond the rigid dogmatism of tradition and offering them a vivid glimpse of a hipper, funkier, more psychedelic version of the Promised Land.

CALL ME TRIMTAB: a brief introduction to Buckminster Fuller

Bucky's grave in Mount Auburn Cemetery, Massachussetts

Richard Buckminster Fuller is best known as the inventor of the geodesic dome. He also introduced concepts like synergy, syntropy, dymaxion, omnidimensionality, regenerative intertransformations and Whole Systems into our vocabulary and developed the World Game in 1961 to encourage us to aim for win-win instead of win-lose scenarios. 

Described as a "genial genius" Fuller was a humble soul who preferred to be addressed simply as Bucky. He described himself as a Comprehensivist - the antidote to overspecialization. He insisted that his epitaph read: CALL ME TRIMTAB. 

During a brief stint in the Navy, Bucky observed that a massive ship could be made to change course through the slightest movement of the trimtab - a tiny flap attached to the rudder which minimized the use of energy to effect maximal change of direction. Bucky saw himself serving as a trimtab, quietly unlearning erroneous beliefs inherited from culture and tradition and imagining a holistic vision of a world that works for everyone - not just a tiny handful at the top of the power pyramid.

Each individual who dares to dream the impossible, to strive for meaning and purpose in his or her own life, ultimately becomes a trimtab, with the potential to alter the evolutionary destiny of an entire species.

Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth, perhaps Bucky’s most popular book, was published in 1969. He likened the planet to an ecosystemically designed vessel with everything required for the human crew and passengers to successfully traverse space and time while consciously evolving into planetary and galactic citizens. He noted, however, that Spaceship Earth appeared to have been hijacked by pirates with little understanding of the technical workings and even less of conserving resources. Eternal optimist that he was, Bucky was certain that ultimately common sense would prevail and that even the most recalcitrant among us would choose wisdom (livingry) over folly (killingry).

BUCKYQUOTES from 'Critical Path'

Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)

ON SPECIALISTS

Nobody is born a specialist. Every child is born with comprehensive interests, asking the most comprehensively logical and relevant questions. Pointing to the logs burning in the fireplace, one child asked me, "What is fire?" I answered, "Fire is the Sun unwinding from the tree's log. The Earth revolves and the trees revolve as the radiation from the Sun's flame reaches the revolving planet Earth. By photosynthesis the green buds and leaves of the tree convert that Sun radiation into hydrocarbon molecules, which form into the bio-cells of the green, outer, cambium layer of the tree. The tree is a tetrahedron that makes a cone as it revolves. The tree's three tetrahedral roots spread out into the ground to anchor the tree and get water. Each year the new, outer-layer green-tree cone revolves 365 turns, and every year the tree grows its new, tender-green, bio-cell cone layer just under the bark and over the accumulating cones of previous years. Each ring of the many rings of the saw-cut log is one year's Sun-energy impoundment. So the fire is the many-years-of-Sun-flame-winding now unwinding from the tree. When the log fire pop-sparks, it is letting go a very sunny day long ago, and doing so in a hurry." Conventionally educated grown-ups rarely know how to answer such questions. They're all too specialized.

ON BANKS

Society likes the idea of a bank as a safekeeping device.  People have always believed that when they put their money in the bank, it stayed there. They had no idea it went out on loan within minutes after it came in. They were completely hoodwinked by the appearance of the banks as safe, fireproof, and robberproof depositories of their earnings. Even today, in the last few years of the twentieth century, people know little more about banks than they did during the 1929 Crash or at the depth of the Depression in 1932, when all they knew was that they had lost their deposits in most of them.

ON COSMIC ACCOUNTING

ONLY COSMIC ACCOUNTING accounts for the entirely interdependent electrochemical and ecological relationships of Earth's biological evolution and cosmic intertransformative regeneration in general. Cosmic costing accounts as well for the parts played gravitationally and radiationally in the totality within which our miniscule planet Earth and its miniscule star the Sun are interfunctionally secreted. Cosmic costing makes utterly ludicrous the selfish and fearfully contrived "wealth" games being reverentially played by humanity aboard Earth.

Fortunately, the Sun does not demand payment for all the energy that it delivers by radiation to Earth in the overall cosmic scheme, which is trying to make humanity a success despite our overwhelming ignorance and fear. The stars are trying to tell humanity to awake and prosper and to consciously assume the important cosmic responsibilities for which it was designed. Since realization and fulfillment of that responsibility involve evolutionary discovery by humanity of the cosmic stature of its mind and the inconsequentiality of its muscle, the planting of humans on Earth may not bear fruit... The first manifestation that humanity may make good on this planet will be the serious introduction of cosmic costing into the mainstream deliberations of Earthians.

IDENTIFYING GOD

There are no solids. There are no things. There are only interfering and noninterfering patterns operative in pure principle, and principles are eternal. Principles never contradict principles. Principles can interaccommodate one another only in noninterfering frequency ways. Principles can interaugment one another if frequency is synchronizable.

Acknowledging the mathematically elegant intellectual integrity of eternally regenerative Universe is one way of identifying God.

The synergetic integral of the totality of all principles is God, whose sumtotal behavior in pure principle is beyond our comprehension and is utterly mysterious to us, because as humans - in pure principle - we do not and never will know all the principles.

ON COSMIC ENERGY

Our most prominent present local Universe problem is how to wean humanity from metabolic sustenance only by exploiting nature's local Universe energy savings account - energy being locally imported by cosmic evolution design to produce a new star ten billion years hence. How can we convince those in power the world around that we can live handsomely as supplied only by our daily income of cosmic energy? The answer is we can't convince them. Only the cosmic wisdom manifest in inexorable evolution can cope with such matters.

ON GALAXIES

When I was twenty-seven years of age [in 1922] Earthian humanity knew of only one galaxy - our own Milky (Latin: Galactic) Way. A year later astronomer Hubble discovered another galaxy. During the subsequent fifty-seven years, human astronomers and astrophysicists have discovered two billion more galaxies, all doing their galactic acts within the eleven-and-one-half-billion-light-year-radiused sphere of humanity's present limit [1981] of omnidirectional observing.

ON ATOMIC ENERGY

The would-be exploiters of atomic energy on board our planet Earth will in due course discover there is no way for them to solve atomic-energy-radiation waste-disposal problems save by rocketing it all back into the Sun, where it belongs. Humans will then have to learn how to keep all humans and their ecological support system operating successfully on our vastly adequate daily income of solar atomic energy.

Cosmically acceptable and effective decisions of humanity regarding such matters will not be made by leaders single or plural, political or religious, military or mystic, by coercion or mob psychology.

The effective decisions can only be made by the independently thinking and adequately informed human individuals and their telepathetically intercommunicated wisdom - the wisdom of the majority of all such human individuals - qualifying for continuance in Universe as local cosmic problem-solvers - in love with the truth and in individually spontaneous self-commitment to absolute faith in the wisdom, integrity, and love of God, who seems to wish Earthian humans to survive.

Isengard launches an assault on Rivendell (TNB Orcs invade Pertak Village)!

 

View from the bridge over the Selangor Dam Lake. 

I call it Rivendell, Home of the High Elves

Towards the end of May 2021 I experienced a relapse of the back pain that had  bugged me between 2011-2013. I knew it was triggered by intense anger and frustration. Then came the stomachaches and diarrhea. I asked my body to tell me what was distressing it, and the answer came to me in a flash of profound horror: the natural spring water thousands have come from far and near to collect since 2003 has been contaminated! 

The water flows freely from the base of a magnificent hill, filtered by layers of rock and gravel and it's so pure it doesn't require boiling. At least it didn't until now...

The hideous sight of earthmoving machinery right above the springs! 😠

Directly below the scarred hillslope is where we collect pure mineral water.

Pains my heart & wounds my soul to witness the obscene barbarity of this public rape of a sensitive ecosystem by the money-driven planners of this ugly project.

The prime contractor of this objectionable destruction is Larico Infrastructure, (whose Orcish track record includes the violent rape of the Borneo rainforest on behalf of Sarawak Energy).

Bad enough to see a cellphone tower (installed 16 years ago) but now there are these heavy metal monsters proclaiming the corporate might they represent.

If they manage to string the power cables the EMF generated will negatively impact on the flora & fauna & lower the vibrational tone of the entire area. This is a sacred site they have desecrated. May those who financially benefited from this reprehensible outrage live to regret their insensitivity.

The Reality we inhabit as a species has always been architectured by hereditary elites employing wizards to execute their agendas. 

These wizards appear as engineers, chemists, programmers (of the collective psyche) and they are skilled at molding public perception and opinion. 

The horrendous destruction they have wrought to gratify their masters' vanity and their own professional egos has always been justified in the name of progress and development. 

Each of us is already in the process of awakening from this dark trance and reclaiming our individual autonomy and visionary power. When enough of us break the mental shackles (put on us via religious and academic indoctrination and the soul-destroying media) we shall find ourselves no longer subscribed to superstitious belief in false gods like Progress & Development, dictated by the rich and powerful (whose motives are rarely beautiful and honest). 

We shall focus instead on our own conscious evolution as Divine Fractals of the Whole, attuning and harmonizing with all that surrounds and supports our well-being (instead of continuing to acquire and protect as our prime imperatives). 

I THANK THEE EACH DAY, CHARLES FORT ~ a poem by Antares

i’m looking for a needle no one ever lost
in a haystack that never was,
a haystack that never will be

influenced only by my own inertia
trying to find the why of because:

i watch the blood fall from the sky
i see angels rise from the mud;
like fish that swim in an ocean of pain
people drown themselves in pleasure

too much of everything
and too little else
is enough for me and more,
is enough for me and more

all should be well,
all should be heavenly,
if I didn’t have to go through hell,
if I didn’t have to go through hell

sniffing roses in the garden at sunset (sniff sniff)
plucking daisies in the morning dew (pluck pluck)
there’s a vast black thing poised like a crow over the moon
there are things that are false and things that are true…

i found you in the nick of time
you left me at the crack of doom
all alone in a lonely world
the oyster dreams of a pearl,
the oyster dreams of a pearl


19 June 1979

IT’S LONELY BEING GOD

It’s lonely being God
Alone with your Thoughts,
dreaming.
Creatures by myriads
on planet grains swept by oceans
of form: writhing, rising and falling
in rhythm of time,
moving.
Not knowing whence they come
nor whither they go,
just living
and dying
and, every so often,
oddly enough, even
loving.

It’s fun to experience
the fruit of awareness
grown out of seeds of
simple existence;
to taste, to touch, to see,
to hear and smell
the life you’ve created.
But it’s so hard to find
someone to share your joys,
who understands that toys
are to play with
and not to stay with
forever.

God sends forth this prayer
hoping you and I will receive
and regard it:
"Dear Figments of My Own Imagination,
I wish you’d get out of my Mind
and make me your Friend.”
