I always enjoyed the quote… “All my wisdom was stolen by the ancients”

The quote definitely applies to all the wisdom coming from the current energy around the movie “The Secret” and Abraham-Hicks “Law of Attraction”. But it also parallels the famous inspirational and motivational speakers over the ages who have pointed us in a similar direction…. inward… to find the answers. They all talk about how we create our own reality by the thoughts and emotions we choose, where the key to our dreams is in the choices we make on a moment to moment basis. Have you ever stopped for a moment and seen yourself from a non-judgemental observer? Are we all entangled… without separation… in fact we are connected to something much larger than ourselves?

Is it true your thoughts influence everything… and you are never alone?

Where the shift that is occurring is as simple re-awakening to our potential through our emotions and thoughts.

Could it be possible our experience of time becomes so relative that it becomes obsolete?

The world is changing, that is a given. Taking the responsibility of thriving in that change is your joy, your blessing, your gift, your opportunity.

I hope you find these videos as interesting as I do.

In-joy,

Bruce

In closing here is one of my favorite inspirational speakers, Ester Hicks, sharing an empowering and inspiring message.

A beautiful video about gratefulness. A wonderful way to start or end your day.

Are you feeling the shift? Have you noticed it is happening everywhere and in everyone?

A movie made by a movement… here is the trailer for “The Shift”

An amazing shift happening….

John Perkins - Fighting the For-Profit Mentality

A revolution is happening and it is “A great time to be on the planet” -John Perkings

“Confessions of an Economic Hit Man” author John Perkins criticizes what he calls America’s corporate “empire,” and suggests ways for individuals to influence these companies to promote just and sustainable business practices.

John Perkins is the controversial author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.

In it, Perkins admits to using “payoffs, rigged elections, extortion, sex, and murder” as tactics to cheat poor countries of “trillions of dollars.” Perkins warns about the frightening trend in the American abuse of power drawing from his own three decades as a working hit man.

While the book was a runaway best seller, Perkins has received heavy criticism from the U.S. State Department and Washington Post columnist Sebastian Mallaby.

In this event Perkins discusses his life, his work and his claims about the inner workings of international finance - Oxonian Society

John Perkins spent three decades as an Economic Hit Man, business executive, author, and lecturer. He lived and worked in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and North America. Then he made a decision: he would use these experiences to make the planet a better place for his daughter’s generation.

Today he teaches about the importance of rising to higher levels of consciousness, to waking up - in both spiritual and physical realms - and is a champion for environmental and social causes. He has lectured at universities on four continents, including Harvard, Wharton, and Princeton.

Here are a few new discussions on Renewable Energy & Peak Oil…. very interesting.

Keep in mind the whole point of identifying the Peak OIl situation is to motivate us toward taking action with solutions. Debating and getting mired in the problem solves nothing

No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. - Albert Einstein

A first glance it seems like a good idea to have prisons become more ecological and sustainable. What a great application of solar power! The inmate numbers in the US are growing and the burden on the taxpayer is growing.

At a deeper analysis this is even a better idea. It goes beyond money and the problem. Instead the focus is on people & solutions and is one of the “shifts” happening in the world. Where looking for the best in others, showing compassion, love, forgiveness, cooperation and getting in touch with the earth and nature becomes a healing. This is true re-hab. When you have a prison that someday will release an inmate that could be your neighbor you want that person to have gone through a personal shift to have seen the error of their ways and enter into the joy of being alive and thriving in our society. Todays prisons, especially in the US…. turn out people worse than when they entered “the system”… and the number of inmates is growing faster than the ability to house them. More of a coping mechanism rather than a healing and re-hab process. Something is wrong with that picture.

I truly hope this Norwegian prison can set an example for others to emulate and that we hear a lot more about it.

Here are the articles and a video….

From the Environmental News Network…

Norway Unveils “First Ecological Prison”

Justice Minister Knut Storberget said the most important idea behind the “ecologically driven prison” is to develop a sense of responsibility in inmates and prepare them for life outside its non-existent walls.

Some of Norway’s most notorious criminals are doing time in the world’s first eco-prison. The focus is on an environmentally friendly jail sentence. It’s aimed at easing the transition for prisoners about to be set free. Al Jazeera’s Nick Clark reports on an experiment which is producing positive results.

From TreeHugger.com…

Strange But True: Norway Announces First “Ecological Prison”

Prisons probably aren’t the first buildings that spring to mind when you think about green design and architecture. Yet one small island in Norway is set to change that perception with the recent introduction of the “world’s first ecological prison” — a facility powered by solar energy that will put its inmates to work coordinating daily operations, such as recycling and food production, and learning their part to protect the environment.
