Barin ~

I knew him briefly in SanFrancisco in 1971-1973. He frequented the Seminary where I was a student, although he never was formally affilated he was an honorary member! It was an eclectic place: at one point Tiger Jones, the famous boxer, was a seminarian in his old age, and Sufi Sam a guest lecturer. What interesting times those were.

Hi CalmEagle,

I know about Sufi Sam to some extent,
a highly interesting and enlightening person.

Grey patriarchs, come breathe, so sayeth
Sam, hands whirling behind behind his
back, lecturing wandering Jews.

Fiddling with esoteric joy was his
initiation behind deep breaths,
wind circling his home.

the backcountry is
all his sect.

~ Sam the Sufi

Thank you for referring to Sufi Sam.

You are so welcome.
Yes, I just discovered him. Back in the old days in San Francisco (hippy days of the early 1970's) some of the best teachers used humor to drive their points deeper than sober aloofness would have...did you ever know Sufi Sam?

Namaste,

CalmEagle

I visited the Swami.
It is really grand. Amid laughter, he has come up with some great wisdom.

I agree with him, when he says :
"Can we change the course of history? Can we shift our karma into surpassing gear? I cannot
say for sure, but if we choose to give up that old Dodge and trade it in for an Evolvo, that's a
good first step. So ... let the Evolution begin. We don't have to wait until the first Big Shot is
fired. If we create a powerful enough field, the Big Shots will end up firing themselves."

Thank you, CalmEagle.

Sincerely,
Barin

Hey Barin,

Hello White Phoenix,

It is a very great and lofty and good posting ! The proposal is highly welcome !

Your are very right when you say :

"Each and every one of us is important alone, but together we are a
very powerful source of creative energy. Remember we are all a piece of
God, and that energy of creation lives in all of us."

Exactly at the time, 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time on 17-07-2006 I will meditate for an hour.

Thank you,

Barin

Global Meditation to heal the Earth

www.firethegrid.com

The Earth needs our help! She is going through some chaotic transitional pains, and She needs our energy. Humans from all around the World, from every corner of the Globe are coming together simultaneously on July 17, 2007 11:11 Greenwich Mean time to fire the energy grid of the Earth. Mass citizens are doing this in order to give our Planet the surge of energy She needs to survive these chaotic times, and come through them resurrected anew, with a willingness to bring about the coming days of peace.

As you probably know, The Earth is being harmed by its residents. It won't be able to stand the poisons that are constantly entering Her environment for much longer unless we help her. Beings of Light, who truly care for this planet, have drawn up a plan for us humans to follow. So what is the plan? The time has been set for July 17, 2007 at 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time, in which volunteers are to simply sit down and mediate, pray, visualize, (whatever you do) for one hour. It is only one hour out of your entire life. During this time, our combined energies will work to direct energy to the Earth and to each other. I ask you to choose the way in which you deliver your intention. For those of you that pray, then pray for the hour asking for the faith and power to accomplish this tremendous task. Those of you who meditate, meditate and see the intention of your thoughts swirling deep inside our Earth delivering the love and healing. Those of you who have no ritual may simply develop one that works for you. If you sit and repeat a phrase of your intention such as "I offer you my energy to heal this world and its people" Any positive words of hope, love, and desire for change will manifest these thoughts as our new reality. If possible, gather with others during this hour. I have found that the intensity of my meditations heightens when I am sharing the experience with other people.

You may be wondering if that will really heal the Earth. The answer is yes. We tend to underestimate the power of creation that we humans have been blessed with. We especially tend to underestimate are co-creative power we have as an entire race. This planned sitting of the people of Earth will demonstrate the love and faith we feel for the goodness of our world and its inhabitants. We are the catalyst to the healing of the Earth. A true believer has the power of ten fold. So if you only think you may believe, know that the faith of the others will boost your own faith and the power will be intensified. That is why we must all sit at the same time. We will feed each others power, strengthening the force of delivery and the compounding the energy we send to the core of our home. Each and every one of us is important alone, but together we are a very powerful source of creative energy. Remember we are all a piece of God, and that energy of creation lives in all of us.

Please join us. We are the hope.

Someone mentioned to me recently that the astrological sign of Scorpio (my sign) has two archetypes even higher than the eagle, which are the phoenix and even higher, the dove.

It is fitting that the dove be the highest one.

Now, I do not judge, NEVER, I have my ideas, my emotions, my feelings but I will never judge them, you, eagle, jackdaw, crow or dove, we are all here with a divine purpose.
The light should not defeat darkness, but it should overcome it.

It's like in a Pitch Dark room and you light a candle. Look at the light overcome darkness, and now picture many candles burning eternally. That is how we all will become beautiful white doves.

In my (of course) humble opinion.

Would love to hear voices.

Birds of Prey & Birds of Peace

http://leendert.gaia.com — Thu, 27 Apr 2006 19:24:46 GMT

I have been studying birds a lot. I communicate in a way with them. There are a few kinds of Birds.

-Birds of Prey (eagle, hawk)
-Birds of Peace (dove)

-Birds that Scramble (jackdaw, crow)

I had a strange vision where we (people who want change) are the birds of peace, fighting against the birds that scramble (people who do not want change), because the big bird of prey represents the God looking out for us, and the birds that scramble represents evil in all forms. Somehow I new our Quest will be over when the Birds that Scramble are all Changed into beautiful White doves.

I know we will overcome evil, I do not know how much love it will take.

Any time the people do not do their Heaven-assigned job of keeping the Garden and tending the Earth, the Divine Bridegroom feels the pain. The cries of the righteous, the innocent and the poor (both people and animals, animals being our younger brothers in Creation) echo in the chambers of Heaven and the balance or scales of mercy and justice are filled by the Hand Who Made Us. These things are not for men to solve, as far as another's density and darkness goes I can only carry a light. In teh Jewish and Christian tradtion their Old Testament says a lot of things which seem to justify wars and vengence, but you will note that it says "Vengence is mine: I will repay says the LORD." Also you will note that meat eating is allowed in limited fashion because of man's frailty and weakness and indeed gospel passages can be easily shown to mean
that it is preferable that we not eat it (see Dominion by Matthew Scuilly.)

The thing is to live as though the Light each on eof us carries is the only Light...you have heard it said it is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness...and this is so.

Baby Seals

http://barin.gaia.com — Sat, 15 Apr 2006 08:33:18 GMT

I have read what Mira, my friend in Zaadz, has written on 22-03, 08-04 and 14-04-2006 about the merciless and barbaric killing of the seals in Canada islands and how different visitors and seal activist are 'illegally' and inhumanly being debarred from visiting places of the butchery and how even the Government agencies arrested the innocent visitors in order to hide the Truth from the world at large. I think Mira was perhaps personally present among the team of observers arrested by the Officers of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans of the Government of Canada.

The entire practice and the attitude of the sealers and even the Officers of the Department of Fisheries and Ocean is completely inhuman and barbaric. It is most uncivilised, cruel.

When I was a small child and would not sleep, my mother would tell me stories of demons and their cruel and demoniac, terrifying and horrible activities. They would terrify and eat the human beings. The humans hated them, but were also afraid of them and could not help themselves, till a Prince would come and kill the demons.

Now I feel and see that the humans have become the demons. The entire living world, including the human beings themselves, are afraid of the humans. We eat and kill every living being for our self-interest. The consciousness is submerging more and more into The Abyss, as told by the Mother [Mira Alfassa].

While Zaadz is dreaming and thinking and trying to change the World obviously into a far better and more beautiful and worthier place, these torturous genocide of the seals, under the cover and protection of the Government officers of Canada, is definitely standing as a great, very great obstacle on our way.

The genocide of the baby seals is not a new thing. You can find some reference to it in one of the recorded and published conversations of The Mother [Mira Alfassa] back in 1969, which I am quoting here below for ready reference and perusal by the members of Zaadz :

October 11, 1969

Oh, a few days ago I was told a frightful story what depths humanity has sunk to … it’s unbelievable. Have you heard this story of the slaughter of the baby seals?
When seals are born (a certain species of seals), they’re all white, and they remain so for a few weeks, then they lose their hair and turn gray, — gray or yellowish, like their fathers and mothers. And as it is the fashion to wear all white fur coats, some people … It’s organized by some trader or other: seals gather at the time of giving birth, there is a place there, in the North, on an island, where they gather in their thousands, and each member give birth to a single child.
So these people go there in boats, fully equipped, and when the seals are born, they kill them — thousands of them at one go. It takes ten or fifteen skins to make a coat. And they slaughter them. But for the carnage to be cheap (you understand, it should not cost too much), they club the animals on their heads, then with big butchers’ knives, they skin them on the spot — skin them while they are alive….
That is to say … it seems they shriek, you know, they aren’t dumb…. It seems the mothers ( they have just given the birth, you see, they are suckling the pups ) try to defend them — so to prevent them from seeing what goes on, they put out their eyes … Well, when I was told that, I saw a humanity sinking into … an abyss of ignominy. …

Why, why? And those women who wear that … all those animals’ suffering, all those animals’ horror, their terror — they wear all that on their backs. And it doesn’t give them nightmares!… Unbelievable.
It seems the fashion is to go dancing wearing a stole made of two or three skins of those poor beasts….
People are getting insane!
It’s only one example, one sort of epitome. But this IGNOBLE consciousness is everywhere on earth…. I saw it like that. But it’s one thing that has as if crystallized to awaken the reaction.
Oh, those little ones …
Seals are very highly evolved animals, they are not among the unconscious ones. …
It’s not so much for those poor little ones, because they have a special protection (all that is conscious in them is like that, cherished). It’s the ignominy of humans: they must become conscious of their ignominy — they fid it quite natural….

Oh, it’s the humans, because even animals are not so disgusting….

A beast like a tiger or lion kills only when it’s hungry. But to make money —this is to make money …. With the women, it’s unconsciousness ; I am sure a vast majority of those who wear that, if they were told, “ You’re wearing on you the skin torn from a living and shrieking animal,” it would give them nightmares —the vast majority. Very few would say, “Why should I care !” Very few.

But the brutes are the ones who are getting rich.

***

There has been no change, no improvement in the demoniac downfall of the human beings into the Abyss. We are descending slowly but surely into the Inconscience. Only we can help ourselves.
A world-wide voice should be raised against the issue, immediately and now.

I know what you mean, I havent really started a blog, but I speak my mind so much to the people around me I dont feel I need to, but on here it feels like it makes a difference, like what we are doing is actually going to change the world, and make it a better place, I love that, and becoming an ambassador makes me feel good, in the way that I can have a say in the direction of Zaadz, and how it will improve, and how it will be portrayed towards the people who havent been on for very Long. I love that. We are creating Zaadz, everyday!!
