ANGELS IN NATURE BRINGING "TOUGH LOVE" AND A MESSAGE OF HOPE This
is The Great Reveal - arranged by the Planetmates for the benefit
of humans on the eve of the biggest challenge ever to face humans
or even the planet at any time of its existence. Planetmates are
the beings with whom we share this planet, our fellow Earth
Citizens. This revelation comes in the form of prasads, a Sanskrit
term, meaning a blessing from a divine being. The Planetmates
explain who they are, who we are, what we think of ourselves ...
and why it is wrong, has always been wrong ... and why it is now of
dire importance for us to remember again the truth of us. On the
eve of our imminent environmental implosion - with half of their
species slated for extinction within mere decades, along with
untold numbers of our own lives - they take us beyond our previous
ideas about Nature, existence, humanity, soul, Divinity or God,
goodness, love, happiness, and life. They bring astounding
revelations on work, play, family, children, consciousness; and
they correct our thinking on them in glorious ways. Altogether,
they show something much more wondrous, yet more in keeping with
what our sciences have come to know to be true. The Planetmates
explain why we could never know or even imagine who we are and how
we have always been "wrong-getted" in our thinking of our relation
to Nature and Existence itself. It has to do with a uniquely human
characteristic we developed, which turned truth on its head.
However, through a fortuitous coming together of scientific and
cultural understandings - available in history at only this time -
we are told that our true Nature and relation to It All can be
revealed with a possibility of it being understood. This is lucky
and synchronistic, for these new understandings in our sciences and
social sciences have become a necessity for our continued survival
on this planet. As the Planetmates put it, ""You don't know, you
don't know that you don't know, you can't know what you don't know
... but now you need to know." Our Planetmates reveal insight into
the matters that humans have struggled for millennia to understand.
You may be surprised after reading this as to who are the "dumb
animals" on this planet. This is the world of Nature weighing in on
our global environmental emergency and bringing a vision different
from any known religious and philosophical perspectives. They take
us through a fascinating exposition of our prehistory, and they
explain how we became human ... and different from every other
species. They explain why, since we separated from Nature and so
forgot our true nature, and how that happened in our becoming
human. Above all, they tell us what we need know to save ourselves
and them and return to a nobility we have lost. "Something
wonderful is going to happen." Juicy Quotes from Planetmates: The
Great Reveal: "we get exactly why you have become the savage
species you are. Indeed, we have a feeling in looking upon you very
much the same as the way you view some of the most unfortunate of
your own: "There but for the grace of God, go I." " "Planetmates
here reveal the nature of Reality itself, describing it as
Being-Awareness-Bliss, and they tell how humans separated from it.
" "They say we scorned "Eden," rather than were ejected from it.
Amazingly, they say that they are the helping, comforting beings we
seek in the heavens, calling themselves our "angels in Nature.""
"the Lucifer or Satan that we mythologize about is, in actuality,
ourselves. It is humans who have defied the Divine and the natural
order, in the throes of a most unnatural hubris, thinking ourselves
equal to the Divine and above all else in Creation." "This is the
sign on the road telling you that just before you lies the return
home to the noble core within you." "The Planetmates ask if, with
the apocalypse now looming as a result of our "evolution," we might
finally be able to see the lie of our illusions."
There are an infinite number of poignant dramas ... infinite
horrors and heroines and tragic figures and heroic figures and
demonic and angelic people. There are all of the characters beyond
imagining, and they are all God. This is the way God continues not
just experiencing Himself, but experiences Himself as multiple. We
are all God, each acting our part, but, being human, forgetting who
we are and fully identifying with our characters. The part of
ourselves who is God, She knows She is God still. She knows She's
God ... playing all these parts. Life, Experience, That Which Is is
perfect in its seeming imperfection. It is fantastic and wonderful.
Ultimately, as Sathya Sai Baba said, All of Reality is God's divine
leela or play. More than anything else, Existence is fun.
These are the strangest of days. We live in a time in which ending
our species in our lifetime, even eliminating all life on this
planet, are very real possibilities. The awareness of this
acceleration toward an "end of days" - while so horrifying that we
are in denial of it and hardly speak it - hangs over us and affects
us in ways singular and fantastic. This book - Apocalypse No,
Apocalypse or Earth Rebirth and the Emerging Perinatal Unconscious
- awakens us to the unique character of our times. There are
powerful factors and unconscious influences erupting into our world
now which are changing the Earth and us in radical ways ... for
good and ill. This unprecedented era in history is rife with the
perinatal, that is, with repressed memories locked into us arising
from our experiences of birth. We see that our impending apocalypse
has to do with birth feelings, birth trauma - an emerging perinatal
unconscious. Herein is revealed the underbelly of our modern world
and life and the impetus behind our self-destruction. We see primal
forces arising and exposed. We begin to understand how and why this
is happening now. Knowing this gives us the power to do something
about our dire situation. Finally, we can direct our attention to
the roots of our drive to apocalypse and reverse it. More than
that, this awakening provides a way of transformation for
ourselves. For we see that in the heart of this darkness we are
bringing down upon us lies the most incredible opportunity for
taking a leap beyond what we think of as human nature. This time
calls for a new hero's cycle - one that leaves behind the
thuggishness of the old one. We are lifted beyond ourselves in a
higher calling and a transcendent yet deeply rooted spirituality.
We realize that the necessary answer to the dilemma of apocalypse
or Earth rebirth lies, not only in the resurrection of a new Earth,
but in the dawning of a new self as well. We will either
heroically, somehow, save our species and our planet, which will
require a change of our human nature unlike anything that has been
asked of our species ever before, or we will be witnesses to the
elimination of life on this planet in some way that we cannot
imagine but can only be horrific in the extreme. This book is about
facing, not denying, the uniquely dire character of our times and
finding out what it says about us and requires of us. There is much
here to see, and so much of it the mainstream would never touch for
fear of creating a panic. Still, to survive our species must face
our problems, not look away. And there is a nobility in doing that,
which is unlike any kind of nobility or heroism required of us
previously. However, this time brings with it an advantage and
opportunity also unprecedented: At no other time has a higher
calling or a path of true nobility of soul been more visible. To
align oneself with this cause lifts one out of oneself and one's
petty concerns into a heady and invigorating life purpose. There is
great likelihood that we will be unable to reverse our dire
trajectory; that is true. Still, those who face and take up this
challenge will not suffer the agony of regretting that one could
have done something but did not. Though we will need many noble
souls to reverse our current downslide into oblivion, it is
possible that simply a significant fraction of the world's
population - like the "leaven in the dough" - can make all the
difference in the world, literally, by tipping our course one way
as opposed to another. This is especially true if such people -
because of their healing and their awareness of the crisis - are
motivated to place themselves in positions of influence and
education, or to put their efforts toward healing, on individual
and collective levels, in larger numbers than the average populace
would. We can be heroes, standing in the right place and with the
lever big enough, who move the world.
Apocalypse Emergency-Love's Wake-Up Call is about a frightening
global predicament that everyone seems to be aware of but which few
people are giving the attention and seriousness it deserves. Why
people would do that and why the media would be inclined to shy
away is understandable. We simply have no way of comprehending the
magnitude of what is happening-the end of life on Earth-nor how
fast it is occurring-likely in our lifetime-since no living thing
on this planet in its multibillion year history has had to face
what we are. The environmental collapse now occurring can be
compared to a trillion-alarm fire with everyone looking the other
way. We need to respond to it with the urgency of being in a world
war, marshaling all available national and world resources and not
with the complacency of a boy-scout litter pick-up campaign.
"Love's Wake-Up Call" goes back and forth between the horrors that
are possible and this unique situation with the potential so strong
to bring humans to raise themselves up and be led by their better
angels more than any other time. At no other time in the history of
the world was the truth of the saying "we're all in this together"
more patently true.
SOUL AND CELL AND THE DEVOLUTIONAL MODEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS: THE
RECONCILIATION OF PRENATAL-PERINATAL AND TRANSPERSONAL PSYCHOLOGY
Prenatal spirituality and the devolutional model of consciousness
compelled by it envision a revolution in child development,
parenting, mental health, and spirituality. Falls from Grace
presents such a radical theory of consciousness, evolution, stages
of life, purpose of life, human nature, and the human species.
Reporting on the latest understandings from consciousness research
and experiential explorations into the human mind, it discloses
awareness extending into womb and cellular states - sperm, egg,
zygote, and blastocyst, for example - and even before conception.
It is a comprehensive understanding, which basically turns
everything we think is true on its head. Still, in doing so, it
reveals previously unacknowledged positive and joyful possibilities
of our human potential and indicates exactly where we need to apply
our efforts to realize them ... to transform ourselves and the
societies and world we live in. While Falls from Grace is a radical
view, it is in line with mystical beliefs, Platonic thought, and
even much of primitive or primal-like views of the world and
Nature. In the end, Falls from Grace suggests a new renaissance on
the horizon - a primal renaissance - as formerly discarded views
are re-understood and integrated in light of new paradigm
discoveries.
OCCUPY GENERATIONS. THE RISE AND FALL OF "OBVIOUS TRUTHS" What is
the American Awakening? How have Americans become so dumb, so that
they have so often voted against their self-interest? Or did they?
What exactly are the Millennial Generation, Generation X, Yuppies,
Boomers, the Fifties-Eisenhower, and the World War Two Generations?
What do the drugs they have used have to do with the events and the
America they have helped to shape? Everyone knows what happened in
America in 1963 and 1980 that changed its direction. But what
happened in 1971 that did the same thing, and much more profoundly?
How is it continuing today? And why do you not know about this? Has
there ever really been a conservative backlash in America? Were
Yuppies former hippies? Did Boomers become conservative as they
became older? What of Occupy Wall Street, Arab Spring, the Tea
Party, and the Wisconsin union movements? What is the Matrix? What
are the things you know to be obviously true that are not? And how
is it you think that way? Why is there now, suddenly, hope for
America and the world? Class War is disguised as Culture War. The
1% foment Culture War among the 99% to distract and cover their
real economic motives. This book looks into why America's
"privileged class" - its "royalty," "blue bloods" - started a
"culture war" against the middle class, working class, the poor ...
and the educated, artists, and humanists in the early 1970s. We
discover how their fear of Sixties activism panicked them into an
all-out assault against elements that threatened their wealth and
privilege in all institutions of American society - media,
education, medicine, government, politics, publication, religion,
especially higher education - and restructured them for their ends.
Culture War, Class War-Occupy Generations and The Rise and Fall of
"Obvious Truths" is about how that reversal and restructuring
happened and what has transpired in the last fifty years to bring
us to this crisis. We see how Americans' minds, personalities,
beliefs, and their daily lives were orchestrated to a tune not
theirs any more, but one that was sweet and harmonious to the
profit-takers. We see how this culture war, class war continues
today: blatantly so in the Tea Party movement, the Republican
Party, the Wall Street giveaways at the expense of jobs, tax cuts
for the "filthy rich" and corporations, budget battles and cuts in
government services and entitlement programs, rampant
anti-environmentalism, and anti-minority, anti-immigrant laws and
attacks. Finally, we behold a worldwide global awakening. As the
strains of war and financial oppression increase to a point no
longer bearable, the American mind reawakens, beholds the obvious
lies that have created the matrix of their lives, and sees more
clearly....
