An Open Letter to President Obama

Guest post by Kay Snow-Davis, Global Family Education Center

RE: Obama Aides Tamp Down Expectations

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/06/us/politics

Mr. President,

Yes, you are my president – before election and before inauguration, I am concerned and in disagreement about the advice and statement from your advisors:  Tamp down their expectations.

As one of the citizens who have been activated to a high level of awareness and action in this campaign, I want to give your advisors another view of what I am expecting from you/our Democratic administration for our nation.

We live on this Earth with Universal laws of energy supporting all life – every thing is energy and encoded information.

You have developed a model of activating and moving energy that truly works, as demonstrated in this campaign.  You enrolled us, person-by-person, community-by-community to support you with our time, energy and money so we could have you as our President.

My greatest expectation is that you will continue to use this model:
Tell us what you want.
Give us guidance/direction on how we citizens can activate and assist you, our nation and your request.
Continue to provide the daily communication on the internet so we can feel a part of the movement and change we desire and how we can be actively guided on a daily basis.

Your advisors said, “Tamp Down Their Expectation.” I would like to rephrase the word expectation as they see it.
Yes, I do expect to continue to be included in this administration.
I am activated to make change, personally, locally, nationally and globally working together as a nation.
This is not the 90’s from which they are referencing their advice from the Bill Clinton era.
This is NOW and a new paradigm of living, clearly indicated by your presidency.

Your campaign has activated a nation and a world – do not under any advice or circumstances undermine your model of activation that has chosen you as our president.  Use the model, over and over to ACTIVATE the citizens of the US, and thus influence our global family as well.

It is time in the evolution of this planet that we, the global citizens be activated for change; otherwise, we as a species are choosing death and dying.

You have activated a tsunami of HOPE….YES!!! WE CAN…..and that has become individualized not nationalized.  I/WE want change. This is the power of the future – our children are depending on us to wake up and create a safe and sustainable lifestyle that they each deserve.  This is not just your responsibility alone - this is ours together.

So I say to you, Mr. President, you have demonstrated what works, for your life mission and to instill community organization at the highest level for our nation.  Listen to your wise and devoted advisors and then challenge their advise with your heart.  Can your heart truly say YES!!! WE CAN!!!  to the advice you have been given?  If not, there is a high possibility it will not work for you or we the citizens of America.

I remain in gratitude for life at this moment and for you and your family as a living model of a new way to live and cooperate on this Home Planet.

Every day I am sending blessings and prayers for you, your family and our global family in this tremendous time of transformation.

YES!!!  WE CAN!!!…..and so it is.

In respect and honor,

Kay Snow-Davis

The Voice of Hope

The voice emerges literally from the body
as a representation of our inner world.
It carries our experience from the past,
our hopes and fears for the future,
and the emotional resonance of the moment.
If it carries none of these, it must be
a masked voice, and having muted the voice,
anyone listening knows intuitively
we are not all there.

Guest post by Kay Snow-Davis: author of  Point of Power: A Relationship with Your Soul and  Wheel of Life Cycles: The Power of Love to Heal Your Life

America is an experiment, consciously or unconsciously generated. Can we really be a united nation of global citizens?

This question has generated movement, crisis, change, transformation, slavery, human rights issues, indigenous massacre, continental expansion, conscious evolution and immense questions.

Primarily, the question remains the same to this day; can we really be a united nation of global citizens? Now add the next factor, and can we create sustainable living, in this nation and on this home planet.

There is no force as great as an idea whose time has come.

Teilhard de Chardin,

The time has come for the next era/destiny of America to be demonstrated on this planet.

What might that look like? How will that manifest in America? In the world?

Let’s explore this together through the window of Soul Purpose Astrology.

First, let’s look at the cycles of Pluto, the planet and energy that works with the collective unconscious.

What does that mean? The movement of this energy is so slow that it is almost immeasurable until years later. We have to “look back” and see the wake of this penetration into the field of human consciousness; like the wake of the boat breaking the water in its forward movement.

The influence of this planet is so deep and subtle that the conscious minds, of most humans, other than our young children, do not associate with this movement. Yet the movement of Pluto on the unconscious field is like the deep currents of the ocean, always moving, discernable or not.

Let’s take a look at Pluto, starting from 1912 – 1938, when it was in the sign of Cancer. This is a WATER sign, ruled by the Moon. Water is the primary conductor of vibration/energy through thought, emotion and movement in any form. The ocean is always moving, in relationship to the Moon, subtle, powerful and variable.

During these years, when Pluto was in the sign of Cancer, most of the emotions of that generation were hidden/suppressed and held in place by guilt, shame, judgment and blame.

Now the Universal law on this planet is movement and change. What gets suppressed will get expressed, somewhere, some how.

Notice from 1912 – 1938, World War I started, the Great Depression came into expression and the seeds of World War II were planted. The whole world was influenced by the suppression/expression of emotions; generations paid the price, and still are emotionally, for that unnatural minimization and limitation.

From 1938 – 1958, Pluto moved into the FIRE sign of Leo, ruled by the Sun. All life seeks the LIGHT- the light of the Sun in our solar system. This was the era for expression: resist suppression, gain independent expression, “break free from the rules of society”, challenge the war, turn the women loose, - from their bras and the corporate glass ceiling, follow your passion……

Balance is the key in life. Pluto in Cancer was the breath IN….held and suppressed. Pluto in Leo became the breath OUT….no limits – with great passion for freedom of expression. Now that Pluto in Cancer and Pluto in Leo have been released from suppression through powerful expression - and a full breath in life is possible, balanced living is a potential, consciously unknown to humanity, and NOW is the time.

The next generation, born from 1958 – 1970, with Pluto in Virgo, is an EARTH sign ruled by Mercury, the messenger of the Gods.

Mercury has the ability to listen through the heart and receive the messages from the Universe and consciously actualize them as ideas and co-creation in daily life. This power is extremely accentuated during Mercury in retrograde. Does that answer your question why your mind can’t make all of the decision without some heart/emotional consideration during Mercury in retrograde?

Pluto in Virgo is a generation committed to use the potential for balance and create new structures and systems through compassion, cooperation and co-creation. This generation is committed to sustainable global living. They are born with an innate sense of cooperation and the need to apply that in relationship with all life.

Their visions and desires are centered on practical application of new systems and structures that will generate and promote sustainable global living on a local and international basis.

It will be about 246 years before Pluto returns to the same cycle in any sign it has been in. It takes that many years to complete a journey around the Zodiac. We have been witness to, or lived through some rare moments, since 1912, and are entering a new era of life on EARTH.

It is time to pass the torch of acquired wisdom from the Pluto in Cancer and Pluto in Leo generation, whether that is “what to do or what not to do” for the future generations. The majority of national leaders internationally are male and Pluto in Leo or a few Pluto in Cancer.

That torch must be pasted to the Pluto in Virgo generation to generate the new systems and structures necessary to facilitate sustainable global living. Our life, as a species, depends on these changes.

So we are back to our original question: Can we really be a united nation of global citizens?

Not only do I believe we can, I believe we must. As a “united nation” of global citizens emigrated from every nation in the world, if we cannot pull this off in this country called America, where else is this principle going to be practiced?

This is a BIG experiment and we are at a critical point of choice. Living together as a global family, sharing our HOME planet is a reality, not an option, unless you know of another planet that you intend to migrate to.

Have we grown up enough as a nation to recognize and fulfill our destiny/opportunity to practice sustainable global living, right here at home? To practice unifying our lives, instead of fighting for separation and exclusivity based on a myriad of illusions and delusions. To create new systems and structures that will promote and support sustainable global living.

Pluto just entered Capricorn in January 26 of 2008 and will be in that EARTH sign until 2024. Now WHAT???? Saturn, the stabilizer for our human experience, rules this EARTH sign. Saturn sustains us energetically in our Soul commitments and agreements, personally and collectively.

What are our Soul level commitments and agreements as a global family living on this HOME planet?

Very simple – live in harmony with all our relations on the only HOME we have, planet Earth.

Humans are the ONLY species living in disharmony on this HOME planet. We are guests on this beautiful, abundant EARTH. We are NOT part of the food chain, and our ONLY contribution to life on this planet is consciousness when aligned with the resonance of all life on this EARTH.

It appears with Pluto in Capricorn until 2024, we get 16 years to practice, Waking Up and Aligning with the planet that provides our breath, food and water.

Will you say YES, I CAN make a difference? Will you say YES to our children? Will you say YES to our HOME Planet and strive to consciously live and grow a sustainable global life style, locally and internationally that honors all life?

OUR FUTURE AND OUR LIFE DEPENDS ON SAYING YES TO ALL LIFE

THROUGH SUSTAINABLE LIVING!!!

Money is an Illusion

by Kay Snow-Davis: author of  Point of Power: A Relationship with Your Soul 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.

It’s Getting Hot Around Here!

Global Warming by Enzo D..

( image source )

by Mark Reinfeld, Author, Vegan Fusion World Cuisine: Healing Recipes and Timeless Wisdom from our Hearts to Yours & The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Raw (Complete Idiot’s Guide to)

World scientists agree that global warming poses a great risk to humanity and life as we know it. The key to reducing global warming is to reduce activities that produce the greenhouse gases that cause the earth’s temperature to rise. To help achieve this goal, we must carefully examine the amount of resources it takes to support our lifestyles. One way is by looking at our carbon footprint - a measure of how much greenhouse gases our actions produce in terms of carbon dioxide.

According to a 2006 UN Report ‘Livestock’s Long Shadow’, raising livestock for food consumption is responsible for 18 percent of all greenhouse gases emitted. That’s more than the entire transportation industry around the world combined!

As you can see, there are many reasons people choose to go veg. So don’t be intimidated if someone you know adopts this form of eating. Ask a few questions. You might be surprised at the answers.

Mark Reinfeld is the founding chef of the Blossoming Lotus Restaurants and a recipient of a 2006 Platinum carrot award given by the Aspen Center of Integral Health to ‘Americas Top Healthy Gourmet Chefs’. He is a recognized authority in the field of healthy cuisine. Mark is the coauthor of Vegan World Fusion Cuisine, winner of 9 national awards.

My sister and I celebrated and cried together on the phone last night.  What an amazing day!  What an amazing time!

Deann has two beautiful young girls, 5 and 2.  They’ve been learning all about elections, presidents, governments and character with Deann over the last several months of this election.

My sister shared a great story last night that I wanted to share with all of you…the greater soul wisdom of our children tickles me and astounds me every time!

The night before the election my sister had her girls start chanting, “Barack Obama, Barack Obama” over and over again.  She said it was the cutest, most moving site seeing her two little ones dancing and chanting the name of our now President Elect.

Yesterday when Deann picked Anya up from kindergarten Anya was wearing an “I Voted” sticker.  Deann noticed and said, “cool honey, you voted!  Who did you vote for?”  Anya shouted while smiling, “Barack Obama!” with as much enthusiasm as she held in her chanting the night before.

Later in the evening as they were watching history being made, as the polls were closing and the tallies were rolling in Anya watched along side her mom with pride and glee.

It was time for bed before the final results were in.  Deann tucked her sweet, happy 5 year old into bed.  Several minutes had passed and Deann heard sobbing coming from Anya’s bedroom.  She went to see why Anya was crying.  When Deann went in Anya sat up and said, “Oh Momma…I’m just so sad!”.  Deann asked, “Why honey, everything’s OK.”  Anya said, “No Momma, everything’s not OK.  I feel sad for John McCain.  Why does there have to be a loser?  I don’t want anyone to have to lose?  I hope John McCain will be OK, Momma.  Do you think he’ll be OK?”

Wow!  The wisdom and compassion in my niece’s heart just moves me to tears.  SHE is our future.  Our children are our future.  They “get it” above and beyond where most of us ever will.

Today, I am grateful that the change we need is here.  I’m confident in knowing that YES, WE can.  I’m excited and fully enrolled in the new potential that lies before us.  And most of all, I am humbled in the presence of my wise 5 year old niece who exudes Love and Compassion beyond measure.  THIS is the answer.  This will deliver us to the “promised land” we’re all creating.

With Love and Compassion Flowing Abundantly I Celebrate Life and the Hearts of ALL.

In Harmony,

Debra

Vegetarian by Personal Conviction

by Mark Reinfeld, Author, Vegan Fusion World Cuisine: Healing Recipes and Timeless Wisdom from our Hearts to Yours & The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Raw (Complete Idiot’s Guide to)

Reasons for Becoming Vegetarian

Many people become vegetarians because of religious or ethical convictions that prohibit the killing of animals. Some simply don’t think it’s cool to kill and believe we are meant to be stewards and caretakers of the earth and its inhabitants. These people do not wish to support practices that inflict harm or suffering on any creature who has the capacity to feel pain.

The small family farm where husbandry practices engendered a certain respect for animals used for food is becoming a thing of the past. Today, most of the world’s meat, dairy, and egg production occurs on massive factory farms owned by agribusiness conglomerates. Farming has become big business, and profits dictate how the animals are treated - which means they’re often kept and transported in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions.
