I am thankful for the sun shining through the windows illuminating the pale yellow walls of our home in the country.

I am thankful that our mandarin orange orchard didn’t freeze last night as had been predicted.

I am thankful that I have a wonderful family and dear friends to celebrate this day with.

I am thankful to have a partner who works alongside me in putting our dream out into the world in a way that could not happen without him.

I am thankful for the unconditional love, silliness and joy of Angel and Finnbar, our two dogs.

I am thankful for all of the generosity of the earth and it’s people who cultivate the land for the beautiful, pungent spices wafting through the kitchen as my pumpkin pies bake.

I am thankful for each breath of fresh air and each swallow of cool and clean water as these have become luxuries that are unobtainable in some parts of the world.

I am thankful for the partnership I have with our ‘unseen helpers’ who make our days flow with relative ease.

I am thankful for you, our friends around the world, who have chosen to wake up to an astounding array of new realities. You are shining lights in this crazy world.

Happy Day of Giving Thanks no matter where you are in the world!

Otherworldly Mystery Missile?

2 Replies
November 8th was being touted as a day to watch. Insiders said global money markets could come crashing down, The Fed was  about to buy up its own debt and protest was mounting in  Seoul where the G-20 summit was about to commence. But what dominated headlines that evening was the Mystery Missile.
A KCBS-TV news helicopter caught the red vapor trail from what looked like a missile whizzing by off the coast of Southern California at 5:00 in the afternoon. The Pentagon immediately attempted to soothe the public by saying that there was no threat to national security. All divisions of the military admitted they had no idea what it was nor where it came from. Rumor and conjecture were blooming like algae across the internet. Soon fingers were pointing at China followed by blame that our military could be so unprepared – again. Meanwhile, the mainstream media began the spin – it was the contrail of a jet. The story died on the airwaves within 48 hours.
I took a break from the hysteria and meditated on the situation. A larger question rose to the surface. While this may seems like a fringe line of thought, it is not out of the realm of possibility. What if alien presence that resides in an underground base was responsible for the missile launch? What if the launch was intended to be perceived as a terrestrial military threat to throw the world into chaos so that the various agendas such as martial law could be implemented. This would be the beginning of the larger agenda of creating an official police state within the  United States that the elites have been working for so long to accomplish. Knowing of the economic tensions with China, it would be assumed that this was an aggressive move by the Chinese.
Meanwhile, I pondered a CVF (counter veiling force) intervening on humanity’s behalf from having studied the issue of ETs and UFO phenomenon. Its my understanding that, while it is not permissible for ET cultures to interfere with other developing species such as ours, intervention is allowed if the event was perpetrated by another “off-planet” ET species. There is Universal Law to that governs such actions. Perhaps an underwater ET group that could have created such an event in collusion with the earthly Elite. We have heard of this relationship in the work of many contemporaries including the recently deceased Zecharia Sitchin, Dolores Cannon, Barbara Lamb, David Icke and Michael Tellinger.
As preposterous as this may sound, I am comfortable with the realization that our planet is teeming with life of all sorts and that ETs are part of earth’s history as we are. I have taken the time to study some of this first hand in connection with the Disclosure Project and many of our interviewees and learned that there is historical precedent of friendly/protective ETs taking down missiles. This was well chronicled by the Disclosure Project.
Through my time with Command Sergeant Major Robert Dean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Dean_(ufologist) I learned of the underwater and underground ET bases, which have likely been here for thousands of years if not from the beginning of life on earth. You can look into this yourself.
A few days after the event I was watching a History Channel documentary on Unidentified Submerged Objects (USOs). It was stating that the most often reported USO activity by witnesses was in the very region the missile had been seen originating from on November 8th – near the California Channel Islands off the coast of Southern California.
Today another internet article came to my attention. Within it a man claiming to be retired U.S. Navy Fire Control Technician said there was no question that the mystery missile was just that – a missile, not a contrail. He also stated that this was not an American missile. The same article went on to build a case against the Chinese. Personally, I do not believe for one moment that the Chinese would be either stupid or rash enough to make such an imprudent move.
So, what I am left with is a sea of possibilities and am open to all of them. I do not think that the proliferation of programs on television and on the internet concerning aliens and UFOs is an accident. These trends occur either by design and for purpose or as a result of collective consciousness expressing itself. Either way, it’s coming close to a time in which we are going to have to face the reality that we are not alone and all of the potential consequences and benefits of this reality.
Is it possible that November 8th offered us a glimpse of both?

Surviving Everything – Part 2

1 Reply

A CMN viewer posted a comment regarding Surviving Everything stating that it would be psychologically and spiritually challenging to think of stocking up on food and water when so much of the world is suffering to the point of starvation. I would guess others feel the same way, which is why I am writing this response.

This is a very delicate topic as what I am about to say can be easily misconstrued, but I would like to say it nonetheless. Understand that these are my perceptions only.

My orientation is toward personal responsibility on all levels, which includes the soul’s choices.

Life on earth is for learning, playing and experiencing as much as we can in any given incarnation. There are built in parameters within this experience. As I spoke about in my November Fifth Element, incarnations are not random. There is a great deal to take into consideration before one incarnates into an earth life. If a Being has not been making conscious choices from one incarnation to the next, our options begin to narrow.

First is a matter of our DNA, which is associated with the tribe/family/bloodline. We have a set of opportunities and challenges that are presented within particular familial bloodlines. A given bloodline may represent a type of physical body, mind, spiritual understanding, emotional development and/or karma.

Each of us has been caught in cycles of familial/bloodline/DNA patterns throughout our personal history of earth incarnations. The mere fact that most of us have been doing it for a while would indicate that there has been an accumulation of inter-connectedness that may be laden with habitual patterning and/or obligation.

Once a Being has learned what can be learned within a bloodline or type of experience, they generally choose another type of experience. Because there needs to be a DNA compatibility, they need to find a body that allows easy integration while, at the same time, attempting to break out of an old pattern.

Much of the suffering and poverty on this planet has to do with these incarnation cycles, and the difficulty one may have with releasing themselves from this pattern. There is not a single Being on this planet who did not choose to be here now, and be here in the family/tribe/DNA pool that they live amongst. The soul has full knowledge of an incarnation path prior to incarnation. So one might wonder why would anyone choose poverty?

I think it’s rare for a soul to choose poverty and degradation. This may happen where one is trying to learn a lesson or repay karma and is choosing to do it the most direct way possible. This takes courage and is a bold choice.

What I think happens more often is that a soul is stuck in a certain reality and does not understand how to release themselves. This takes an extra degree of determination, will and courage for any of us to free ourselves of any kind of pattern, no less centuries or millennia of habitual circumstance.

While recently speaking of how time and the process of aging is changing, a friend was telling me she felt it to be so unfair that we live so well, relatively speaking, while women in Haiti have such a burden of abuse, poverty and hunger. How can it be that these realities exist side by side? Where is the fairness?

She then went on to tell me of a Haitian woman she knows here in America and how the woman had told her of the reality of old age in Haiti. The Haitian woman said life is over at 60, that you simply wait to die because you have no further place nor purpose after this age. My friend thought this to be very sad.

I shared with her thoughts similar to what I am sharing now and I told her that what brings tears to my eyes are stories such as this Haitian woman who has found a way to educate herself and free herself of her suffering by beginning a new life in the United States. This woman has made a bold choice that will forever alter her incarnation patterns. It is unlikely, knowing all she has learned, that she would choose to incarnate into her previous poverty ridden circumstance. She has made a break. The beauty of this brings tears to my eyes because everyone of us has been here – at choice points – to choose to say “yes” to an unknown or even frightening option on the intuition it could bring something better. This is how we change our experience from one incarnation to the next.

I say this because, while it hurts most human beings to see another truly suffer, to stop our own learning and experience because another is suffering may not be the wisest choice. Did you choose to have a lifetime of suffering? If you did not, then why not focus on what you can do now for yourself, your loved ones and anyone else you choose to be of service to, and not negate your own purpose this lifetime?

Our life on earth is the school in which we make real choices and take real actions that will determine what will be available to us now and in the future. If we choose to take care of our physical bodies through the minor or major disruptions life may offer in the form of having food and water on hand for the body, who is harmed in this? Should we feed ourselves even if we cannot effect change for all of the other bodies who are hungry and suffering? People who are starving would say ‘yes.’ This does not limit us from lending a helping hand where possible.

An incarnation is not to be wasted, and to die prematurely and unnecessarily serves no Soul. In the end, every single Soul on this planet is going to get through even the most severe upheaval alive and well, and likely ready to do it again, because we do not die, we only change densities back and forth. When we depart one dimension we are born into the other. Still, we have this golden opportunity of earth life now and we must take care of our body the best we can. This is our journey.

Too Small to Fail

I’m sitting at Peet’s Coffee sipping peppermint tea on a sunny afternoon, writing this blog as the U.S. fills virtual ink cartridges with a few tons of virtual green ink to create $600-billion of more virtual money while an ounce of gold just hit $1400. What could possibly go wrong? It sounds like it’s all under control as long as the price of virtual ink doesn’t rise. Still, something keeps nagging at me……


In juxtaposition to the Freakonomy driven side-show of the Back-to-Bush politics that swept America last Tuesday, I sat with John Perkins on Saturday for an interview on the muck that is the real underpinnings of our global geo-political reality. This reality does not discriminate between democracy and totalitarianism, fascism or communism.

You could call our current type of governance a corporatocracy or corporatarianism, it doesn’t matter. The same handful of CEOS (and their masters) run the whole game. The corporate goal: to enslave poor countries possessing valuable resources with un-payable debt, which allows, upon default of the loan, the ravaging of their resources by multi-national corporations. This pisses off the country that has just been plundered, and it’s leaders, and they make strong threatening statements, such as an intention to nationalize their resources. Then you send in the CIA contractors to create unrest among their people, overthrow the government, and get a more U.S. friendly leader in to allow the corporations to continue plundering free of any regulations or restrictions.

Another agenda is to enslave the populations of formerly well-to-do nations with massive debt that can never be repaid to support military efforts from which the same players profit, and to bail out the financial institutions operated by, yes, the same players. Sometimes the game backfires. One small example is Somali piracy.

John has met with pirates, and just about every other kind of disenfranchised and indigenous people. The multi-national fishing trawlers have wiped out and polluted the Somali coastal fish populations, their traditional means of support. Angry and hungry young Somalian men have adapted. Once the line is crossed into unlawful and violent behavior, it’s difficult to turn the page back. Besides there is nothing to go back to.

This is one small example of backlash for the West’s reckless and usurious agendas, all of which exist far beyond the reach of any voter anywhere. We are all being hoodwinked by our governments, as John points out, a sentiment that is reflected in the title of his newest book. The problem is so large that the only way out is small – us, one determined person at a time.

For me, the only thing that is making sense anymore is that we each need to begin the profound undertaking of building a new ‘economy’ from the ground up, and we don’t need the permission from any our governments to start exploring and implementing something that works for us.

On a small note, Scott and I are gardening, have some food and water in reserve and are exploring other sustainable community endeavors including Time Banking.

I addressed Time Banking/Contributionism in my current interview with Michael Tellinger and past interview with Stephanie Rearick. We simply have to answer a few primary questions – What do I love doing? Where do my skills lie? How much of my time am I willing to give?

In this spirit of Contributionism, I phoned the mayor of our small town. He returned the call explaining that, not only is he interested in the concept of Time Banking, he is also exploring establishing a local currency and is well into development of sustainable local food programs.

We have heard from some of our CMN friends that they too are taking on the task of inspiring their communities to do the same or joining in similar efforts. This makes my heart happy.

Meanwhile, I think we need to honor the simplistic, good-hearted and naive among us because these are the traits that will be needed while attempting something this profound.

I’ll update you after I meet with the Mayor.

It was more than a little ironic while driving through the city of Petaluma, Ca. recently when I looked up at the sign on the front of a stately old bank building and saw the words Seed Bank gilded in gold. I had to laugh as I am regularly contemplating what’s of real value in the world and nothing spoke louder than this sight. While the value of the dollar is swerving, if not plummeting, what is of real value is rising in mass consciousness – like seeds.

I excitedly pulled in with my girlfriends and started gathering an array of the tiny packets to help Scott, myself and our loved ones feel more in charge of our future food supply. I was a kid in a candy shop searching through lovely pictures of heirloom vegetables from Europe and the Americas. Bill Gates has nothing on the Seed Bank of Petaluma!

With record high teperatures at the end of October and early November, I arrived at my planter boxes in the nick of time to get our broccoli, red cabbage, cauliflower, lettuces, chard, spinach and kale into the ground. While I can’t say that I am necessarily proficient at gardening, Mother Nature has been patient and good humored with me and supports my little vegetables in spite of the fact that my enthusiasm outweighs any real skills. Thank goodness for people who do know what they’re doing.

A regular CMN viewer was kind enough to suggest I take a look at the site of a man named Dan Carlson, the inventor of a system of gardening called Sonic Bloom, which you can find at originalsonicbloom.com. Our CMN friend had apparently had some success with the growing system.

Dan, meanwhile, is no ordinary farmer. After serving in the Korean conflict where he witnssed a great deal of suffering from short supplies of food, Dan made a commitment to do all he could to aleviate starvation globally. For his efforts he has been graced with many prestigous awards including having been nominated for the Nobel Prize in Economics, 2001; 2002, 2003 and Humanitarian of the Year, “for his unceasing dedication to alleviating hunger, pain, disease, and sufferings for the Peoples in the world”, Institute for Human Potential, 2002. Dan cares about food and people and feels that to make the latter happy, the plants must be happy.

Dan’s Sonic Bloom is comprised of two elements – a sound box that creates a birdlike sound and organic nutrients. Many of you are well aware of research that’s been done on plants and music to promote good health and increased growth/yields. If this is new to you just do a search under ‘music and plants’.

Dan’s customer’s report having yields more than double of what is normal  as well as larger sized fruit and reduced consumption of water. Intrigued, I called Dan and had him set us up.

Sonic Bloom sound box with solar panel

The system requires a 12v battery, such as that used in motorcycles. Scott took the initiative to enclose the battery inside a weatherproof plastic project box, attach a solar panel to trickle charge the battery and then mounted the speaker. The speaker is light-activated, meaning it turns off at dusk and back on at sunrise. The sound is said to cover a five acre area, which is overkill for us, but may spill over into my father’s mandarin orchard.

Our winter seeds and seedlings are only a few days in the ground, the sun is high and the box is chirping away. We won’t know for another few weeks what kind of crop we’ll have, but I can say that a couple of my seedlings that were too long awaiting planting, seemed to stand up and stretch their little leaves within hours after we started playing the Bloom box.

We’ll keep you updated as the crops come in.
