...from within...

Reposted from "The Brigade of Light":

A SPIRITUAL CONSPIRACY – “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

On the surface of the world right now there is

war and violence and things seem dark.

But calmly and quietly, at the same time,

something else is happening underground.

An inner revolution is taking place

and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.

It is a silent revolution.

From the inside out. From the ground up.

This is a Global operation.

It is a Spiritual Conspiracy

There are sleeper cells in every nation on the planet. You won’t see us on the T.V.

You won’t read about us in the newspaper.

You won’t hear about us on the radio.

We don’t seek any glory.

We don’t wear any uniform.

We come in all shapes and sizes, colors and styles

Most of us work anonymously

We are quietly working behind the scenes

In every country and culture of the world

Cities big and small, mountains and valleys, in farm and villages, tribes and remote islands

You could pass by one of us on the street

And not even notice.

We go undercover

We remain behind the scenes

It is of no concern to us who takes the final credit

But simply that the work gets done

Occasionally we spot each other in the street

We give a quiet nod and continue on our way

During the day many of us pretend we have normal jobs

But behind the false storefront of night

Is where the real work takes a place

Some call us the Conscious Army

We are slowly creating a new world

With the power of our minds and hearts

We follow, with passion and joy

Our orders come from the Central Spiritual Intelligence

We are dropping soft, secret love bombs when no one is looking

Poems – Hugs – Music – Photography – Movies – Kind words -

Smiles – Meditation and prayer – Dance – Social activism – Websites

Blogs – Random acts of kindness…

We each express ourselves in our own unique ways

With our own unique gifts and talents

BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE WORLD

That is the motto that fills our hearts

We know it is the only way real transformation takes place

We know that quietly and humbly we have the

Power of all the oceans combined

Our work is slow and meticulous,

Like the formation of mountains

It is not even visible at first glance

And yet with it, entire tectonic plates

Shall be moved in the centuries to come.

Love is the new religion of the 21^st century

You don’t have to be a highly educated person

Or have any exceptional knowledge to understand it

It comes from the intelligence of the heart

Embedded in the timeless evolutionary pulse of all human beings

Be the change you want to see in the world

Nobody else can do it for you

We are now recruiting

Perhaps you will join us

Or already have

All are welcome

The door is open.

-my own 2 cents:

As the Light grows, the Darkness becomes more defined. That which has been hidden from view is coming into the Light - and the Darkness doesn't like it. It will fight for its survival, even in the face of all that is sensible and reasonable. Nevertheless, the Light is growing - it cannot be stopped. It is up to us to embrace it or reject it. Just remember - the more you fight, the harder it is to maintain the illusion that all is well in the dark, hidden realms. It is fear that drives many into dogmatic beliefs. The divisions of 'right' and 'wrong' are clearly defined - the old ways are a known quantity. The coming of the Light dispels the confusion and rigidity of the world in darkness. The outcome is unknown - and the unknown is feared, vilified and renounced as heresy. Still, the oppressed cry out for freedom - the comfortable experience discomfort - conventional wisdom flies out the window. All in all, the change is happening NOW - it is up to each of us to decide how we handle it.

What now?

I'm getting that 'stuck' feeling again. I have this compelling urge to go somewhere else - DO something else - BE someone else - and I don't feel that I have the resources available to me now. Fortunately, appearances can be, and often are, deceiving. I'm doing my best to remain open to the Universe to provide me with guidance and wherewithal to get me to where I'm supposed to be, do what I'm supposed to do with whom I'm supposed to do it. (I could phrase that better, but I'm not gonna...:D)

I'm just putting it out there - I'm almost ready for the Next Big Thing in my life. There are a few things left to clear up here, but once that's done I feel the need to move on. The small town I'm in just isn't cutting it for me.

If anyone out there has any suggestions, reply to this post or email me at:

Who Am I?

This is the 'homework' assignment my therapist gave me 2 weeks ago. This is incredibly hard for me - for so long I've allowed others to create who I am that I don't really KNOW!
I'm tired - tired of fighting life - tired of fighting myself - tired of trying to find meaning in this mean existence - tired of chasing an ancient dream...
"There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep for such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
I know it sounds absurd but please tell me who I am."
--Supertramp - "The Logical Song"
Here are some 'I AM' statements about me:
- I am a songwriter
- I am a musician
- I am an artist
- I am a videographer
- I am a graphic designer
- I am a loving, caring soul
- I am an idealist
- I am a dreamer
- I am the dream
- I am an incorrigible punster - do not incorrige me...
- I am intelligent
- I am stupid
- I am ugly
- I am beautiful
- I am confused
- I am insane
- I am lucid
- I am taking medication for Panic Anxiety Disorder
- I am unemployed
- I am running out of money
- I am running out of time
- I am running out of options
- I am afraid.

None of these statements fully describes 'who I am'. All of these statements have an element of truth to them. All of these statements have an element of 'lie' about them.

Evidently, having an 'identity crisis' is the awareness that you've never had an identity to begin with...

So I smile - nod my head - go with whatever flow is pulling me at the moment - and hope for the best...
