One of my biggest insights into this whole thing of unity is - that there are few ‘non unity’ things that seem to be going on.. in the name of unity and with good intention with the people who say they wish to bring unity or solutions to the planet but actually are not founded in that at all… I am clear that what they are doing IS making a difference in that specific area and them.. so it is like blobs of paint splattered creating a new beautiful landscape but mostly you see the patches of old shades between.. it looks like if we expanded the blobs to touch each other we would have more sense of the painting.. We are getting there in our own blob of paint spreading it thinner to cover the whole wall rather than noticing the same colour blogs right next to us that we could link up with and create the picture we all have the idea of together vs alone.. does that makes sense of is it a load of rambly old tosh? lol!
People are inspired to make a difference, provide services or they organisations that make a difference but somehow they are showing up at some level unwilling to work together. What this seems to create is a pull of people in their direction (nothing wrong with that) but it also means we are pulling people in different directions and running around with no time for anything really.. just a mass of good intentions with no aligned outcome. Alignment for me IS the burning issue for the planet right now. If you read ‘A Future for Communication’ sent to world leaders in 1991 - there is a excerpt on the story behind it in Newsletter’.http://www.peaceinourlifetime.org/newsletter/monthly….
I distinguish it best.. from the whole doc here
“In the age of thinking and being alive there is an opening to master what it is to be human, acknowledging those who came before us, forgiving ourselves as children playing at and being right and wrong. All this has got us here. We are seeing the dawn of an adult human being, who can see his/her ideas blossom in others without having to be recognised and acknowledged for it, without having to win, nor having a reason to say something; one who does not stop when they are not understood, nor have to check if anyone listened; one who is able to take all this into account and learn that it is not necessary to have a reason or justification or have to worry what others may say, and yet be accountable to the world versus proving that one’s own agenda is right. It is to be the kind of human being who does not see himself as a better person, nor one who has an agenda to be better than someone else. This kind of human being is concerned only with a kind of being alive that is an expression of life. It has no meaning and is the life of an ordinary individual who says they make a difference and lives fulfilled now, not when they have their way. It is not a place to get to but a life of mastery, where the booby prizes are the trophies and acknowledgement. “ - excerpt from A Future for Communication c 1991 ~ Lynne Hazelden - full version > http://www.lynnehazelden.350.com/Future_for_communication.htm
The only way I can see the world changing is if all these people working ‘for’ the planet see, that if what they are saying they want is Unity and a world of harmony that works for all… that we all start looking how to integrate what we are up to for good vs pull in other directions…. it seems everyone has the answer but not particular interested in sharing their community and resources… in fact it is quite competitive. The Hunger Projects work is very effective at impacting that .. I wish they could bring this knowledge to a wider community and bring this knowledge to business and NGOs as I feel they have a the knowledge on how to do this. Strategic Planning in Action it used to be called just after I was on staff… amazing stuff. Anyhow,
Peace in our Lifetime hopes to be bringing a way so that people can stand together as one connected uniquely and freely but bring to the whole vs take only our part so my bit works. We aim to create a place where everyone can BE together and found. Where the small guys don’t have to compete for attention from the ones with resources and get acknowledged for the great work they do and we all do.
I have been crying a lot recently. Not because I am depressed but just present to the impossibility of who I am in making this happen. My lack of insight into how to impact this… I have health issues which mean what I am creating can not be done by me at all. In fact it is like sitting with hands and legs tied and only working with intention and a few kind souls who listen and do what they can to help… I feel that whilst this challenge makes my life limited it has allowed me to see insights into how we work. In the past I would have just gotten on with it without anyone (as seems to be the way to be to make things happen in the old paradigm somehow and it works, but has limitations I see now and part of the small threads underlying humanities issues that get unaddressed that whilst obvious do not get resolved somehow.. ) … so now I am not able to ’just do it’- if someone lets me down or does not do a crucial thing .. I can not just put it in myself… and basically it just will not happen .. end of story… what is present, is this whole thing about wanting unity but having no idea how to shift into those focused on their own thing working as one working on their own thang….
I am not sure if this makes sense.
The one thing I am reliable at is .. in the face of my own limitations, my upset, doubt or inability to produce the results I wish to achieve .. I will plant a seed for a new possibility anyway and continue on the journey of knowing the end goal is interesting but the juice is really in the journey.
This being said, There are a few new openings today regarding building the website as We have found a web developer that has … TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We’ll see. Also one of the people who we are speaking to that creates music events happens to be in contact with the same sponsor I am thinking may be interested in what we are creating here.
Today, i am feeling peaceful but VERY present to my limitations… We need to find a solution soon. I am always listening to that other part of me that wants to give up … (give up this and everything … like just ‘except my lot be happy and shut up about peace will you and your ideas’ .. and just disappear.. just managing ya well-being and be done with it) sometimes it is loud and other times not there at all.. today it is quiet even though the whole things seems to be a little huge with potential but a lot of balls still up in the air with no idea how to complete them give I can not do them myself..
btw.. something weird happened yesterday.. I was in this very intense conversation that was not really going that well and we found our way through… underlying was a misunderstanding of thinking the other person ‘knew’ on both sides. It was hard to get to as the desire to be right and react had to be ignored to get there.. .. such a little detail that may have not have gotton clarity had we gone down the tunnel of our view of this is true. I am incredibly grateful to my friends who are willing to look further into what is ’really’ going on vs fight for their view… it was quite incredible.. once we saw we had slightly different interpretations of this thing that happened - it all made sense lol!
I am really very tired right now and not very well at all ( I have and M.E type of illness from an allergic reaction that means I have short periods of being able to do things - also why I do not tend to read these back and edit as I find it hard to read but I can just write my thoughts like this .. so forgive the ramble and grammar .. I just don’t care anymore about such trivial things - when ya life is at stake .. just communicate lol! ;) ).. and so will have to continue to rest today for most of it as usual.. but I am standing in the chasm of not knowing and wanting to nail it vs discover what needs to be revealed for this all to happen. I have a feeling something awesome is about to unfold if I can just stay here willing to have more questions than answers a little longer… have the little I need to live and stay alive lol! ha ha! And in those small moments I can do a little just hope it is one small action that has the outcome of a 1000 inert ones I used to have time for lol!
It is the most exciting possibility we have for the planet and yet it is on the creast of a wave and could all come crashing to a halt if I can not find a soloution.
At the end of the day.. we WILL have a great party at our venue and if this is not to be, we find a new path which will be revealed..
until tomorrow
peace
