Find out with me, what it's all about!

It is May 9, 2008, and I am inserting a revolutionary thought in this post because I LOVE this logo!! Personally, it says so much about the 53 years of life I have lived!! I have looked at the trailer of this movie entitled "A Powerful Noise." I find it a tantalizing documentary. One I will be asking my local independent theatre to bring in for us all who support this media, as well as, the businesses that thrive to bring in this form of independence that is thoughtful, conscious expression!
The documentary format is wonderful isn't it? It is a format about ideas that assume to provoke consideration at the very least, and inspire incredible action when it hits on all cylinders in the human psyche on the other end of the spectrum of response and timing! Deeply meaningful and world(s) changing action for-the-better, when that 'hit' results in a response of critical mass!!

So, as the logo, and the three incredibly infused women, whose interwoven lives and thereby life-stories, give voice to the main story: that NOW is the time for balance because it is needed in this world in every way_ I release an inspired response coming through the center of my own commonly uncommon life. This inspired response to all that is criss-crossing my path at this time, including this movie:
Pro-Life WITH Choice. Pro-Life WITH Choice. Pro-Life WITH Choice.
Because I see this movie as a confirmation of the inspired nature that is in me; the nature of nurturing life. Nature brings life forth! Creative life. Expressive life. Human life. Individual voice.
Nature is change in constant evolution. In humans, this quality in nature is also the nature of consciousness. The capacity to express, to be conscious awareness. Always growing, changing, moving... much more than the mind can take in.

One primary nature found in consciousness is that of creating/making choices all the time! The very nature of being and consciousness is one minute. Then, the next minute in the NOW, something different, in its underlying sameness. All is NOW, and then that which is NOW enters the next moment when that is NOW, but, never the same because it is never the same moment!
All passes, all stays the same. Each NOW in its own moment is the now, and for every human perspective in each moment simultaneously that nature of now is the NOW!

This is why I declare: Pro-Life WITH choice! It is the very substance of my own quality of life, and I wish to put this awareness out into the world. In its essential nature, there is no attachment here. No grasping. No concepts.

I would not have arrived in this moment without THAT essential nature of consciousness wanting to know itself as conscious within me!

What revolutionary awareness NOW is in you? Make a Powerful Noise for the good of all!

Blessed be!

Links to views about how the Petreaus/Capitol Hill Hearings are a sham

I am American born, raised in military and civilian life and now in my fifties. All of my life, I have struggled with the social fabric of this country after living abroad in other cultures on other continents, as a child-representative of my country, (what every military child is raised to take responsibility for, when being stationed abroad
in a military family).
My views of reality in America in every minute in the now, involve pro-actively taking up a level of personal responsibility that most people here tell me is unrealistic... I will continue to disbelieve this perspective-as-reason as untested apathy on the part of many citizens, because I know that it is the simplest actions that truly do matter in the long run. There is nothing else to work toward; to ask oneself what everyday steps one can reasonably commit to on a daily basis in order to consciously know oneself as awake? Mundanely simple everyday steps that make a big and sublime radical difference in the long run.
Some of my own very simple commitment(s) have been to never engage in violence, to never own a gun, to raise an independent-minded human being who questions "authority" because EVERYONE has lessons to learn, knowing that sometimes the right teacher is the child.
To commit to the simplest consciousness evolution practice/experience, so that I am more and more fully awake_ not judging not projecting as much as I consciously understand and notice in myself, more and more in every minute of everyday of my entire life. Most importantly, to be of service in the world in ways that constructively facilitate proliferation of a world environment that invites more and more human beings to wake up. Mutual safety and mutual respect are key.

To be a gate-opener, not a gate-keeper because equal access to justice without condition, invests in the health of a nation. Yes, this means one group cannot always control "it" all, but rather is equally tested to TRUST in the robust state of overall well being and therefore intelligent response and ability of the citizenry. Responsibility on BOTH sides of the agreement: to lead (sometimes leading is by the small group, sometimes by the large will of the citizenry) and trust leadership (sometimes trusting is invested in the small group, sometimes invested in the large will of the citizenry).
Today I offer these two links, liberal perspectives to be sure, regarding today's hearings of the military staff in Iraq, and General Petreaus in particular.
One view personally offered, as first responses to watching a portion of the hearings this morning, is Senator McCain's clear personal behavioral maintenance that is invested in negative polarity, within the country he claims a patriotic elitism. This kind of behavior is a wantonly reckless manner of defining personal standard, the world can no longer indulge. This form of ego-centricity in anyone, deserves competent, non-judgmental confrontation. Behavior that deserves to be named for what it is, until that person can be lovingly witnessed into conscious awareness about their own negative, ego-centered behavior pattern(s). Behavior patterns that can come at the expense of people's very own lives. An example of this behavioral rationale is "protecting the interests" of one nation at the expense of the equally valuable interests of another nation. Really.
My hope and intention is that those who are ready and available to consciously show up in their own lives no matter what partisan view is believed in, may find this blog helpful and/or supportive in even the smallest way on their own journey to waking up.

Bless us all, everywhere in the world! We are all human in this life experience.
