Swami's 2009 State of the Universe

The Shift Has Hit the Fan! Welcome to the Sane Asylum

 

Humanity has shifted its karma into surpassing gear, and political

climate change has come to America. Thanks to a grassroots up-wising,

we the people huffed and puffed together in the same direction and the

winds of change blew in a breath of fresh air. And we can all breathe

easier.

 

The vote in November was more than a vote for a new President. It was

a vote for a new precedent – to overgrow the " lowest common dominator "

paradigm and take a step towards government of the people, by the

people, for the people where the government does our bidding, not the

bidding of the highest bidder -- and where the Golden Rule can finally

overrule the rule of gold. In the short term, the up-wising has been

successful, and the American Evolution has begun. The first big shots

have been fired, and we are on the road to recovering from an

eight-year bout with Mad Cowboy Disease and Electile Dysfunction.

 

But now, if we want to heal the body politic of conditions like

Deficit Inattention Disorder, Truth Decay and the deadliest one of

all, an unchecked Military Industrial Complex, we must elect

ourselves. Spiritually, it's time to quiet our barking dogmas and

evolve past the Ten Commandments to an even greater realization – the

One Suggestion: " We are all in it together. " Once a critical mass of

us chooses to live by this credo, we can avoid the critical massacre

called Armageddon, create Disarmageddon instead, and achieve

fulfillment as a species -- Humanifest Destiny.

The End of the Age of Nefarious?

 

Every journey into the light is preceded by a dark passage, and our

entry into the Age of Aquarius is no different. As predicted in the

celebrated quatrain ( " When the goon moves into Lincoln's house, and

stupider aligns with Mars, then greed will guide the planet and fear

obscure the stars ... " ), the Age of Nefarious delayed the start of the

new millennium. But now the quatrain is heading down a new track, and

soular power is shining a light on the endarkened corridors of

soulless power.

 

Just as the eight-year journey that took us from Whitewater to

Blackwater was coming to an end, some overzealous Bush-bashers hurled

footwear to give the departing regime one final boot. That was

understandable, but unnecessary. Better we should keep our shoes on,

and use them to stand together at a time when healing wounds is more

important than wounding heels. Besides, without Bush there could have

been no Obama. His alarming actions awakened more people than Buddha,

and a body politic in a fear-induced coma miraculously regained

consciousness.

 

And now there is a new President: Barack Hussein Obama. After eight

years of insanity, we can proclaim to the world, " America has a

President Hussein! "

 

So now, we must face another awesome truth: We are living in a world

gone sane.

 

Welcome to the sane asylum.

Trickle Down Goes Belly Up

 

It's a good thing our political fates are on the upswing, as our

economy has taken a sharp downturn. The house of credit cards economy

based on trickle down has gone belly up, and we must face another,

sadder truth. Individually and collectively, we've been suffering from

Deficit Inattention Disorder, and since we were unable to do the math,

we must now do the aftermath. It's a buy-o-logical fact. You cannot

spend more than you have. Nature knows this. We can use no more energy

than what we have in reserve. We cannot charge energy on our Ascended

Master Card and repay it next lifetime.

 

So yes, the casino economy coming down, but there is an upside to the

meltdown. There is a great opportunity in the crisis. Consider this.

When the dollar hits zero, we can pay off our entire $10 trillion

national debt and hardly feel it!

 

Meanwhile, over the past eight years we have seen the fall of

reptilian entities like Enronosaurus Wrecks, and most recently a

character named Madoff made off with billions. Our entire economic

system has been revealed as an extraordinary ponzi scheme where

ordinary people are left holding the empty bag.

 

Unfortunately, this is nothing new. It's the same old needy-greedy

where our collective fear of not having enough -- " scare city " -- has

empowered those privatizing privateers who are plundering our planet

with their mining operations: that's mine, that's mine, that's mine.

This mining has overmined the planet and undermined humanity. Thus,

the emergency we face right now.

 

So, what do we do? I am glad I asked that question. We must go beyond

the fear-based state of emergency, to a state of emergent seeing. That

is where we emerge and see the genuine wealth that is all around us:

the virtually infinite energy from Father Sun, the prolific

nourishment Mother Earth brings us every season, the love we generate

from our hearts, and the inventiveness of our minds. With this

realization, we have a one way ticket out of scare city ... and we

enter a state of a-bun-dance. That is where we get up off our assets,

move our buns, face the music and dance together. In using our

resources to create good goods and greater goodness, we can weave a

web of mass construction that will make us all interdependently wealthy.

Heartland Security and Purple People Power

 

So ... how do we do this? How do we go from our habitual " every cell

for itself " consciousness that has caused our current " mining

disaster " , to acting on the evolutionary truth that we are in reality

" all cells in the body of humanity? " How do we shift from survival of

the fittest to thrival of the fittingest?

 

First we must move from the fear-based Homeland Security to the

love-based Heartland Security, and realize our one true security is in

the land of the heart. While the beliefs in our head fool us all the

time, the love in our heart is foolproof. When we face up to love, we

can face down the fear.

 

What this means in practical reality is that we must step across the

" red-blue " political divide that has kept us separate, and show our

true colors as one purple people. Yes, we have all been wounded by

polarizing politics, so let's give ourselves a purple heart, and take

the next courageous step to cohere around our shared " heart core "

values and become ... we, the purple.

 

I have a dream ... that the rednecks shall lie down with the blue

necks, and we tune out the polarizing mainstream media, which is sadly

a brainwashing machine stuck on spin. More than ever, we need forums

not againstums, dialogue instead of debate. When the body politic

stops mass-debating and chooses to have healthy, pleasurable

intercourse, we will finally create a healthy brainchild together.

 

This February, we celebrate Abraham Lincoln's bicentennial, and our

friend Richard Lederer (the anagram master known as Riddler Reacher),

tells us that when we scramble the letters in " Barack Hussein Obama, "

we get " Abraham is back: One U.S. "

 

You don't have to be a Barack-backer to see that instead of relying on

leaders from above, the next evolutionary step is for us to become the

leaders we have been waiting for. I am Lincoln. You are Lincoln. We

are Lincoln. And by linkin' together, we free ourselves from slavery

to the divisive beliefs in our minds, and form a more perfect union in

the land of the heart.

 

Sure, these ideas may seem far-fetched, but we are nearer to fetching

them than ever before. Remember, we are now living in a world gone

sane. Change is ahead, change is afoot, and everything is changing

from head to foot. Like it or not, we are destined to have heaven on

earth. Might as well get used to it.

Observer: Just Passing Through the Body...

~`~`~`~`~`~` ~`~`~`~`~ `~`~`~`~` ~`~`~`~`~ `~`~`~`~` ~`~

Self has no center, no circumference, no

meditator to meditate on a center, and no

meditation. It is very free, very fluent, very

natural and spontaneous, and has no

fatigue because there is no doership.

Doership is " I am doing this, " " I have to do

that, " " I am troubled, " " I am happy. " All

these relationships will not be there

because they are just passing through

the body. You are untouched by all of

these. You are beyond even the concept

of all of this.
