and Wheel of Life Cycles: The Power of Love to Heal Your Life
We humans are very creative. Many, many centuries we have been using our imagination to create illusions. A major one that comes to my mind is the illusion that the Earth was flat. Someone made this up and promoted it fully with no cell phones, TV, videos or World Wide Web. What a great PR job and the collective believed in this illusion enough to kill people with any other idea.
Now we have created this illusion called money….and people are dying daily for their belief or connection to this illusion.
We cannot eat money. It will not provide oxygen. It does not grow food. It will not heal an ailing body or mind. It will not create love in relationships. It will not “buy the life” of your child or loved one killed in a meaningless act of violence.
The pen is not the poetry; it is an instrument for the poet. The guitar is not the song; it is the instrument for the singer. Money is not sustainable; it has the ability to be used as an instrument for supporting sustainability on this planet.
Money is a convenience and an agreement of exchange based on a trust that the “currency” actually has value. It is easier to carry around than a chicken or a goat.
After having gone through the immense devastation of Hurricane Iniki, September 11, 1992 on the island of Kau’ai, Hawaii, it became very clear to me what is real. Money had no use or value in those days without electricity, no banks open, no gas stations to frequent, no grocery stores to buy food.
What became critically important was, “How is your family? Is every one safe? Do you have a home? Can we share food or water with you?”
We live on a beneficial Home planet, called Earth, a living model of sustainability, created without any input from the human imagination.
As a guest species on this Home planet, it would seem advisable to enter the sustainable system and make a contribution, especially since we are not part of the food chain.
What is not sustainable on this Home planet will collapse in on itself and allow sustainable life to emerge.
If we look at the dissolving illusion of “the Earth was flat”, the reality was far greater and more beneficial than our imagination. Earth in reality is this beautiful sphere in an ordered Universe, far beyond the human imagination, and yet serving our daily life.
Money is not a sustainable system and it is dissolving into chaos world wide so the next level of awareness and use of this instrument can be focused on entering into the sustainable system. This is where the human imagination can come into full creativity…now is the hour for exquisite soul purpose living to emerge and align with all life on our Home planet.
Let’s invite and listen to the voice and the wisdom of our youth, after all it is their future they are investing in and they deserve to have a vote on what they consider sustainable living.
We are at choice here as a species, choose what sustains life for generations to come and in compliance and respect for the Home planet that 6.5 billion family members live on or continue to destroy our species and cause immense harm in the process to all our relations.
I choose sustainable living and it is my intention to live and learn every day of my life; what does this really mean and how can I make my ultimate contribution?
Please join me in this adventure.

Merry Christmas, John….yes this illusion called money is totally dependent upon the user for integrity. There is no value now in this currency without TRUST…..now that Trust has been violated by the “ones in power” it is time for the grass roots to establish a TRUST and take action in exchanges that are sustainable, for 7 generations. Blessings to you, Kay
