Law of Cause and Effect Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The sixth Universal Law – “The Law of Cause and Effect: “Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause.” In accordance with this Law, every effect you see in your outside or physical world has a very specific cause which has its origin in your inner or mental world. This is the essence of thought power. Every one of your thoughts, words or actions sets a specific effect in motion which will come to materialize over time. To become the master of your destiny, you must master your mind for everything in your reality is a mental creation. Know that there is nothing like chance or luck. They are simply terms used by humanity in ignorance of this Law.

Your Desires are Instantly Created: The Law of Cause and Effect applies on all three planes of existence – the spiritual, the mental and the physical. The difference is that on the spiritual plane cause and effect are instantaneous such that they appear inseparable, whereas on the other planes our concept of time and space creates a time lag between the cause and the eventual effect. Know that when you focus on your goals and desires using creative visualization that which you wish to create in the physical world is automatically manifested in the spiritual world, and with perseverance, practice and continued concentrated thought, it will also come to materialize in the physical world.” (Kotsos 2011)

I trust that you can see the value in this 6^th Universal Law. Transitions blog has discussed creative visualization several times and it also talks about mind power or the power of thought. Carrying those discussions forward we now see why the mind has so much power. Cause and Effect can be as simple as dropping a stone (cause) and experiencing the stone falling to the ground (effect). The effect of gravity is an effect because your mind is so fundamentally structured around this effect that it is creating at any hint of cause. So it is not universal law that we have gravity here on earth, it is a universal law that we have cause and effect with which our minds have created Gravity. We could not live here without it. Thus here is your cause. We have gravity because we need it to survive! (Without gravity everything on earth would float off) At some level we need to trust what our minds create for us with this caveat, “All that I see, feel, taste, and otherwise experience are in the Highest and Best Good of me, my community, and the Everyone Everywhere”. Without this caveat the ego mind sends experiences that ensure its (not yours) survival and most of these are contrary to the above statement.

Now that you know that every prayer is answered all you need do is stay focused on that prayer and know in your heart that all is well. Use creative visualization to guide your life using your highest desires. The Universe cares not what you create, but you do! Whatever you are experiencing now is something that you have created either consciously or unconsciously. Depending on where you are in your level of awareness, it may seem like things are happening to you and that other people or things caused them. You are the source of your life – all you experience is effect! Understand the Law of Cause and Effect so that you can move forward in your Journey of Love!

The Law of Gender Revisited

by Sequoia Elisabeth

We are revisiting the 7 Universal Laws which I first blogged about a year ago. These are vital to understanding the Universe and working with life, instead of against it.

There are 7 Universal Laws that apply equally to all things in this universe. The sacred teachings of all traditions touch on these Universal Laws in some way. To better understand these laws and how to apply these to our lives the next seven blogs will be a countdown of 7 Universal Laws. Knowing the law is one thing, applying this law is another thing altogether. Add these tools to your notebook so that the transition journey is all the more fulfilling.

Tania Kotsos in The Seven Universal Laws Demystified lists the seventh law as,

“The Law of Gender: “Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles”. The last of the seven Universal Laws is evident throughout creation in the so-called opposite sexes found not only in human beings but also in plants, minerals, electrons and magnetic poles to name but a few. Everything and everyone contains both the masculine and feminine elements. Among the outward expressions of Feminine qualities are love, patience, intuition and gentleness and of Masculine qualities are energy, self-reliance, logic and intellect. Know that within every woman; lay all the latent qualities of a man and within every man those of a woman. When you know this you will know what it means to be complete.”

Many people would consider this law to include the duality of nature, however this law is about gender only and duality is considered in a different law. This law is about the whole and the aspects of that whole. To express gender fully one must embrace both masculine and feminine energy. The fullness of being contains both.

Let us consider this in regards to people. A man has both energies and expresses masculine energy primarily. Situations will arise that he will need to express feminine energy, for instance while caring for children. In an emergency situation where people are injured and swift action is needed to save lives and respond to environmental stresses the man will need both masculine energy and feminine energy. The injured need the feminine energy of caring and compassion while the swift action and problem solving skills of masculinity will also be necessary. Without both he is not going to be as effective in his response. A woman in the same situation has the same energies at her disposal, but will most likely tackle the situation differently. It is simply a matter of using the same energies differently.

Society needs to get over its identification with men are this way and woman that. There are no rules, unless you make them or accept the rules others offer you! Allow these energies to flow naturally through you and know that all is well.

I will point out here that gender identity is how the brain is wired and follows the same Law of Gender. Transgender individuals are wired such that the traditional male/masculine or female/feminine is reversed. There is nothing “wrong” however; it merely is what it is. Each person is comfortable expressing themself in one fashion or the other. The physical body need not dictate how the individual expresses themself. The important thing is that each individual feels the freedom to allow the Law of Gender to express through them as it needs to.

Honest, Responsible and True

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Today’s Transition Blog considers the words Truth, Responsible, and Honest. Noble words to be sure, but what do they really mean? How do they fit into your life, or to reverse that, how do you fit into the definition of these words? Let us look deeper to get a better feel for these words and the importance they play in everyone’s life.

“Hon·est:

1. Honorable in principles, intentions, and actions; upright and fair: an honest person.

2. Showing uprightness and fairness: honest dealings.

3. Gained or obtained fairly: honest wealth.

4. Sincere; frank: an honest face.

5. Genuine or unadulterated: honest commodities.” (Dictionary.com)

So who embodies these qualities? Do you? Every day in everything you do the opportunity to embody these traits exists, so you make this decision, albeit unconsciously most of the time, to be honest or not. Consider how these actions define you and who they impact the most. It certainly affects those you are dealing with, but more importantly how does it affect you? Honesty is essential to self respect and self worth. Being honorable is an act done for the self and that benefit then flows out to all those involved!

“Re·spon·si·ble:

1. Answerable or accountable, as for something within one’s power, control, or management (often followed by to or for): He is responsible to the president for his decisions.

2. Involving accountability or responsibility: a responsible position.

3. Chargeable with being the author, cause, or occasion of something (usually followed by for): Termites were responsible for the damage.

4. Having a capacity for moral decisions and therefore accountable; capable of rational thought or action: The defendant is not responsible for his actions.” (Dictonary.com)

This is a profound word that touches life everyday in some way. Look closely at these meanings and consider how they impact your life. Have you ever attempted to avoid responsibility? Do you hold yourself accountable for your actions? Do you realize that you are the author of your life? Simply knowing this is a step toward responsibility. We are all capable for rational thought and action, so there is no excuse for denying responsibility!

“Truth:

1. The true or actual state of a matter: He tried to find out the truth.

2. Conformity with fact or reality; verity: the truth of a statement.

3. A verified or indisputable fact, proposition, principle, or the like: mathematical truths.

4. The state or character of being true.

5. Actuality or actual existence.” (Dictionary.com)

This word is the sum total of all other words. It is what is left after all else is removed. This is a very elusive word and experience. In the world of duality Truth seems to shift constantly so that attaining total Truth is almost impossible. It is however the goal. The goal we all aspire to! It is possible Truth is only found after death, but even this is not Truth. Death does not exist! Please understand that most of what you experience in this world is other than Truth, Responsibility, and Honesty!

I aspire to these ideals daily and sometimes I even get close! It is a constant vigil, one that I accept with pride and joy. I bless you on your Journey of Love, may you find the Truth, Responsibility and Honesty you seek!

All I Ask

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Just to clarify, I am calling for the end of all borders, release of the concept of land ownership, religions to let go of any dogma, wall street and the like to be shut down all over the world, and the large organized governments dissolved. The people are free to make their own decisions and create community where they live which is fully by the people and for the people. High value is placed on integrity, authenticity, and mutual cooperation. The concept of Oneness is embraced by every person on earth. Gaia is one being and each of us is a part of the whole. Peace, Perfection and Wholeness are now the rule; there is no need for exception as we have experienced that and see beyond it!

Borders have gone away. We no longer need to define borders as they will shift with the times. The land itself has energy and the people of that land will define it. That space is honored and respected for what it is. Recognized for its inherent value, it will shift and change over time, frequently at first, but eventually becoming constant and harmonious.

Land ownership is absolved. The land belongs to Gaia and cannot be owned, just as any person cannot be owned. It is wrong to enslave people so we will not enslave the earth! Respectful and Grateful ceremony surrounds all use of the land which is taught our children from birth. We learn to work in harmony with the creatures of earth and to use Gaia’s resources with respect and gratitude. All food is raised with loving intent including animals, insects, sea life and the plants. Processing food now means we bless the food and prepare it with care and love. Gaia comes first!

The process of shifting away from ownership is slow, so the house is still owned and so are the objects within, but with an attitude of responsibility and honor. These things serve our needs and are shared freely. If someone needs a roof to protect them for a night, doors open freely and space is shared with respect because all understand the concept of Oneness. What is done on someone else is done to you, and we have evolved to feel it also. If your fellow man is hurt you feel it, if they are Joyous you feel it, these are capabilities innate to our being but have been shut down in the past. No longer do we forgo this gift!

Religions open their doors to everyone and no longer teach separation. The ceremony is preserved but interpreted to reflect Oneness and that particular religions take on it. Other beliefs are respected and not only tolerated but embraced. Many religions merge over time and many are now the few, all with Oneness as their core. Love is taught in churches, schools and in the home. There is no stronger force in the Universe.

Wall Street is shut down because it serves the few and not the many. The financial markets are dissolved as money becomes less and less important in the daily functioning of life. All money is backed by a finite source such as gold, silver or platinum. As such this money is of Gaia and is no longer used as a means of power and control. It is simply a tool to facilitate trade and honor those you love.

Large governments are no longer needed so they are dissolved. The people take responsibility for their own lives and form communities to support one another. Government is truly by the people and for the people – all people equally. Difference is respected and seen as one aspect of the whole. It is our similarities which bind us, but our differences are the sauce that adds value. Just as each cell in the body has a purpose and role to play, so does each person, creature and thing on Earth (Gaia).

Man made laws are no longer necessary because we realize that Oneness precludes law. Each person understands their connection to the whole and to do harm is unthinkable. If it does occur we realize that punishment is inherent in the system, so individuals are not responsible for this. Universal Law operates without any governance and is taught in all churches, schools and homes. It is woven into every story and demonstrated by our very lives. Universal Law is our source. Oneness is its expression.

Money is Energy Continued

by Sequoia Elisabeth

In continuing the story of money as energy and the created economy consider your own situation. How much energy are you attracting? How much energy do you give away or expend? The system always balances itself! The good news is that the system feeds on itself and grows proportionately. You may have heard the Law of Tenfold Return, if not click here for more.

In reality you are an economy of one multiplied by millions! In essence the world is your creation and therefore is an extension of you. Of course your perspective is that of an individual who is separate from the rest of the world. It is really an ingenious design, although it is NOT divine design; unless it is. You see the ego mind is what creates your reality with all its challenges and gifts. When you ask for help from Holy Spirit, it takes what you have created and makes it whole again. This is called the process of for-give-ness.

An object in motion tends to stay in motion. Meaning that once you make a choice life falls into place to support that choice and if you ever wish to choose it again it is that much easier. A good Samaritan for instance is on that tangent and it gets easier and easier to stay on that tangent. One step in the other direction simply negates the energy created so far. Remember the balance? There is also the concept of “guilty by association” which means the energy is contagious and by hanging out with a certain group your energy will tend in that direction, wealthy, criminal, degenerate, upstanding moral, etc.

You are like a magnet for energy! The energy you put out is drawn back to you and by the Law of Attraction – Like attracts Like. Maybe you enjoy hanging out with those of “like mind”? We all do it is natural to be with those who are like you! This does not necessarily mean in appearance although often that is the case also.

Appearance can be a tricky thing and constantly confuses the average person. How can a grimy Homeless man living on the street win the lottery? (and they have!) Because this is not the energy he is putting out. He is probably helping his fellow man, caring of others and at sometime in the past in a position of at least modest means if not wealthy.

Creating money is easy for those who go against the grain and partake in illegal activities. These pursuits always pay off in karmic ways down the line. Remember what you give you receive, or those who live by the sword die by the sword! Enough said.

Money is a tool and it matters not who uses the tool. In this same way energy is a tool, like fabric it weaves life into a beautiful creation. We are quite deep at the moment and I am not sure you get the meaning of this and I find this could easily fill an entire blog (which it has – Tools of the Mind). I will wrap this up here.

One last word here on free money. We have established that money is energy, so this would mean that energy is free right? In essence energy is free, however in this ego based world there is always a balance so this means nothing is free! You might not pay in cash, but it always costs something, even a smile! Do you know the only thing you have more of when you give it away? LOVE (smiles fall into this category).

If you have questions on what I have presented here please write to me and ask. I am happy to clarify anything that puzzles you. Be sure to read the eBooks and articles on this website, Unity in Gender Diversity.

Money is Energy

by Sequoia Elisabeth

“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change” (Wayne Dyer). Take money for instance, if you change the way you look at or use it, it will change its role in your life. When life is broken down to the base components the finding is that everything is energy. So this means that money is energy too!

What if you stopped looking at money as a burden or distant object that is hard to obtain and instead see it for what it is – energy? The energy components are everywhere but not always compatible which sometimes makes conversion difficult. Energy exists in many forms and in many states so the issue of quality becomes more important than quantity since energy is everywhere. Digitized bits of data are flowing though the air waves right now carrying billions of dollars all over the world – this very cash is flowing through your body! Abundance is our nature.

This world is a free will zone meaning that you have choices and no one can make them for you unless you give them permission to, and this can occur without being aware of it, so take note here. Make your decision consciously! Be aware and make others aware of your view points on money and everything else in the world. Sharing is a good thing.

Going back to money as energy, usually your efforts are converted to money by working or selling something you have. It takes energy either way to make something, provide a service, or share your knowledge. All that you have and do is of value whether a monetary sum is placed on it or not. It is the conscious intent behind what you offer that determines the value (quality), as well as how this action, service or product is received. The principle is what you put in is what you get out.

There is the old saying, something is only worth what someone will give you for it. Of course this does not take into account intrinsic value or implied value or even value added! It takes energy to tighten your face muscles into a smile, this expenditure of energy is free but has value because you are giving energy away! The energy has to come from somewhere, and it does. It comes from either your pocket in the form of food used by your body or it comes from Divine Source. We all know how to get energy from eating, but getting energy from Divine Source is not generally taught. ( I cover this in my eBooks)

They say money does not grow on trees but in fact it does come from trees and everything else in this world. Beside that fact that money is made from paper which comes from trees, energy is constantly changing forms. This is how the barter system works; exchange one form of energy for another.

Self worth is also a big factor in how much energy you attract. If you feel worthy it shows in your actions which are generous and caring. You take the actions necessary to care for yourself and those in your life. We have made this process very complicated these days, but it works either way. You can work to make things, then work to market and sell them, and then use the funds gained to get what you need or study for years to gain the skills for a career and then work for a corporation or small business or you can simply create the things you need. Grow your own food, make your own clothing, etc. One reason commerce exists is because not everyone enjoys creating all things. So we work together to create what brings us Joy and in sharing an economy is created. The market decides how valuable what you create is, but it also comes from you! It is a dual process. I will get into this more on the next blog!

Peace Is Within

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The blog has been less frequent lately because I am out living the dream! I am sure you are as well in your own way. As a Spiritual Peacemaker it is my calling to help others find Peace within. It is important to realize that Peace is always and all ways present. You may or may not be aware of it, but it exists as surely as the air you are breathing. In fact air can be removed, while Peace cannot. For instance Peace exists in outer space while air does not.

One of the best ways I have found to reach Peace is meditation. Many people find meditation difficult and this is because you do not fully understand what meditation is.

First of all let us consider what Peace is. Without dragging out the dictionary, think of Peace as the Spirit within you and all things. It is a still, calm, quiet, serene place but can also be active, forceful, and dynamic. Peace is quite simply the force of Great Spirit, Universal Consciousness or God. We find it calming and comforting because this is our home, our natural state. Finding Peace then is like finding yourself!

Meditation then is a state of thoughtless awareness. Meaning the mind is clear of thought yet keenly aware. It is possible to be aware of something without thinking about it. For example you can be aware of someone without thinking about them. You don’t have to be in a lotus position to meditate, and in fact we meditate all the time, but do not call it meditation. Manual labor or repetitive tasks are the most common ways we slip into meditation.

Physiologically the mind works at various frequencies from 40 to 1.5 cycles per second and represent 4-5 stages of activity, Beta (40-15), Alpha (9-14), Theta (5-8), and Delta High (4-3)/Delta Deep (1.5-2). Meditation usually occurs in the Theta range of 5-8 cycles per second, but can also be a bit higher in the Alpha.

The wee hours of the morning are easiest to reach this meditative state, because the rest of the ego world is sleeping and so the mental or psychic airwaves are calmer and with less disturbance. Many people will rise at 4 or 5 am to do their daily meditation and while this does make the process easier it is certainly not required. I would say if you are just starting the practice of daily meditation, creating the habit of rising early and doing the meditation in the private space of your room can be a great way to center yourself before the day begins.

Meditation can be as short as 10 seconds or can last for days. Typically a person mediates for 30-60 minutes till they get good at it and then they can meditate literally at the drop of a hat. It does take practice and discipline so set aside a few minutes a day at least and get started! For more on meditation see the website, Unity in Gender Diversity. The eBook “Methods of Raising Our Energy” is available there and covers different methods.

Who Are You?

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Identity is an important aspect of human life for several reasons. It is how we all relate to one another and the world around us, it is how we discover our self, and it is how we discover God. I am not sure we ever really “know” God, especially in one human lifetime. Unity in Gender Diversity is a website that celebrates this journey of self discovery from the perspective of one individual.

UGD has two main parts, the Gender Learning Center and the Spiritual Learning Center. Each explores an important aspect of what I call the Journey of Love, which is really a journey to discover the self, God and all that is. Along this journey identity changes and evolves to the point where deep insights are discovered. It really never stops though and when this lifetime ends another one begins and the process is repeated in a slightly different way. Some say that when you lay down at night you die and are reborn the next day in a slightly different way. I have this experience often, so maybe I can say I have lived many lifetimes within this one lifetime, maybe we can all say this!

I love the infinite expressions of life that constantly shift and change, but in essence never change. No matter what you identify with, be it an object, animal, or person, the core essence never changes. Thus the saying, As much as things change, they stay the same. Meaning all things are Unified as One in infinite variety.

In essence we are all made of the same thing and this includes everything you can sense around you, the people you meet, the chair you sit on, the food you eat, the stars you see in the sky, the ground you walk upon, everything! Carl Sagan called it “Star Stuff”, Plato called it “Aether” and Aristotle called it the “Fifth Element”. (Wikipedia.org)

This knowing can make your life both interesting and fulfilling. Since all things are of the same source, no harm can really take place. Things appear to change all the time, the experience is constant change! This is the way it was meant to be. This is how the source discovers itself! All that I am not, leads to what I am.

The Journey then is “notness”. It is being what you are not so that you can truly experience who you are! I pray this means something to you, if need be please read over the website and discover who you are not.

Ok, I will spill the beans right here… all that you can see, touch, taste, hear, and smell is NOT who you are. You are not your pet cat, your favorite Barbie doll, or even your car, nor are you, your name, a man, blonde, short, stupid, wealthy, etc… At some point you will identify with just about everything that crosses your path in this life… it is NOT who you are.

Everyone You Meet Is Your Mirror

by Sequoia Elisabeth

What does your lifestyle say about you? Look around and see for yourself! Is your car cluttered with “stuff”? What about your desk, bedroom, living room, yard or closet? Is this stuff a sense of identity for you? It is for most people and I question this. Not if it is right or wrong, that is subjective, but what purpose does identifying with works of art or advanced technological devices serve for you?

Have you ever considered why you have to have the latest computer or that cute trinket from your vacation? Everything you do, say, or think defines you. Take a step back and see this. Who are you? Really?

Your environment also defines you and tells you much about the person you are. Is your life about clutter or order, dirty or clean, scarcity or abundance? The cluttered mind is reflected in a cluttered life, dirty thoughts are reflected in a dirty life, and abundant thoughts beget an abundant life. I hope you will take a minute to look at your life and start living with intention and purpose. Make a conscious choice to be one way or the other. Clean your house because that reflects the type of person you are, not because I or anyone else says you should.

Life is a reflection of your thoughts, words and actions. So if you wish to know yourself, just look at your friends, family, job, activities and living space. It can be a sobering event! And it can be inspiring too. Once you start living on purpose, the world becomes your oyster and you are the pearl.

Living Consciously means being aware of the details, appreciating them, but not obsessing on them. It is a fine line, but one that is very rewarding! What is important to you? What is of ultimate significance? What do you need to align with this and be an expression of this in the world? The mirror is your best friend as is pain, the bully across the street, and the accident you had last month.

“A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.” Ken Keyes

Will You Or Not?

by Sequoia Elisabeth

I recently watched the movie “Green Lantern” and was intrigued by the notion that Will Power is the strongest force in the Universe. So I gave it some thought and consideration. This is what I came up with.

From my diverse readings one thing I have learned is that the Earth is a “free will” zone. Meaning that every person here has free will to make choices and do as they please. There are still those who would control you if you allowed them to and again this is free will! Being a free will zone it means others can harm you if you allow it and they choose to do so. There are realms where this is not possible where peace, harmony and positive energy is the only choice. The question arises then is this really what you want?

Obviously it is not, because you are here! That’s right in this 3rd Dimensional realm of free will and anything being possible trade off is simply the nature of life. When swimming you get wet. Now this seems obvious, however many think that they can live in a free will zone and somehow control others. If you are being controlled it is with your permission! Now this permission may not be conscious, but it has been made either by action or thought. “Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent” ~Eleanor Roosevelt.

This also pertains to Love, meaning no one can make another Love them. So how does one find Love? Simply by Loving – You get what you give. Thus through the free will to share your Love you find it! Once again this works in reverse too. If you harm another through your free will then you are harming yourself. This is not always apparent and often does not materialize for many years or even multiple lifetimes.

It behooves you then to be conscious of your choices and to take an active role in your destiny. The other consideration in free will is consequence. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. What you give you receive!

What exactly is Free Will? As I have written about in previous blogs, Will Power is a tool of the mind! It is for you to use in experiencing who you are and thus the world around you. The Green Lantern uses this tool quite well to create all sorts of protective and defensive weapons. Use yours wisely and for purposes that serve the Highest Good. Please note that the Green Lantern had to learn to use this tool and with practice it comes fairly quickly.

Explore the use of this tool you have been given and it will develop into a mighty vehicle of liberation both for yourself and others. Since you know that everyone has free will then it makes no sense to attempt to control anyone. Take personal responsibility for your life and use the tools of the mind to create a magnificent life! The simple act of doing so radiates this energy to all those you love.

A Loving Universe

by Sequoia Elisabeth

As much as I would love to see the world shift unilaterally over to a Resource Based Economy it feels like the more probable outcome will be small pockets of change growing like an infection, spreading to areas of less resistance first and then to the mainstream once the bubble bursts.

I can see it happening now all over the globe! People are adopting sustainable living methods and lessening their dependence not only on oil but also on money. Remembering of course that both are simply tools which have been grossly misused. I for one am not ready to give up oil completely and we should not have to. It simply needs to be used in a responsible manner. Using it as a fuel needs to stop, we have other options now. Using it in manufacturing is one way it can contribute to our future, and even this will need to be modified to be sustainable. I must remind you that oil comes from Mother Earth and eventually it will return there. How we use it in the interim is up to us, the consequences will vary.

A few principles are all we need to proceed from here. One is “do onto others as you would have done onto you.” Imagine you own the land being mined, imagine you are an animal or tree growing on the land! What is best now? We are not alone here on Gaia and with respect and forethought we can all live in harmony! It is time we left our arrogance behind and lived a Loving Conscious Life.

Secondly “consider future generations of our ancestors who will be coming to take our place!” The Native Americans say to plan for seven generations. This is not so hard when you consider the connection we all have. These generations are our future selves! Just because life is eternal does not give humans the right to abuse it. The future does not have to include humans! We all know what happens to people who abuse the system, right?

Leaders like Gandhi, ML King, and St. Francis showed the way to live a humble life while at the same time standing up to authority. “Peace thru non-action is the way of our future.” Holding peaceful and loving thoughts no matter what you face takes courage and fortitude. Simply staying focused on your morals and principles is all it takes. This need not be difficult; the more people who do this the easier it gets, especially when we are all based in Love. The other details are just that, details. The core must be Love in both action and non-action. All of life must be considered in our actions and we must work together for the betterment of all! Lastly, “Interdependence of community is the way of the future!” We live in a Loving Universe, there is no other option.

Entertainment in a LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

en·ter·tain·ment

–noun

1. The act of entertaining; agreeable occupation for the mind; diversion; amusement

2. Something affording pleasure, diversion, or amusement.

3. Hospitable provision for the needs and wants of guests. (Dictionary.com)

In a Love Based Society entertainment is integral to daily life. Since all work is volunteer almost all tasks are engaged from Joy, Love and Sharing. Even if the task is dirty, difficult or tedious the person performing this task is enjoying themselves simply in the sharing of their talents.

Each person has many hours each day to enjoy the simple pleasures of life and so many activities are available to amuse! In fact it is the number one occupation since the basics of life are provided by machines and automation.

Movies are available in many forms, including 2D, 3D, and 4D. They are available at the theatre, dinner theatre, private showings, amusement parks, businesses, homes and on individual viewing devices. The power of this medium is fully understood now and all movies support the LBE. Nothing is produced which creates fear.

Most programming is educationally based in some way. The news informs about current events, show cases individuals from around the community and simply reports information in a neutral format. Movies are both entertaining and didactic. TV programming much like today covers all subjects, and is informative, educational and entertaining. Fear is no longer even an issue since all citizens are born into a Loving environment and raised on these principles. Love is our natural way, so it comes easily for each and every person!

Virtual reality is now common place so each person is able to enjoy an immersive environment that is only limited by a person’s imagination. Much like a holodeck made famous on Star Trek, the individual can enjoy many diverse experiences which are so thorough that even the person’s body is perceived as a certain role and in appropriate form, meaning that any body shape, form, gender, species, and/or color can be experienced. With machines providing all basic needs people are left to invent and develop the technology to amazing levels, the holodeck is the result of these efforts.

Also since resources are no longer wasted on war or conflict this leaves an abundance for entertainment. A LBE sees the larger picture that each person is merely a player, an actor if you will, so war is still recreated in the holodeck for educational purposes such as history, personal growth and mental therapy, but no one is harmed, and in fact it is used to heal past life wounds. Entertainment in a LBE encompasses all aspects of daily living making life both fun and beneficial for all. We are each guests in our own creation!

All The World Is A Stage

by Sequoia Elisabeth

We have all heard the famous quote by William Shakespeare but have you really considered its meaning in your life? Please read on and I will share my insights.

Each person you meet is playing a role just as any actor would do on stage or on camera. This person brings personality to that role however it is still a role you as observer are creating. Your thoughts, feelings and actions are the fuel for this creation and there is a delayed effect so that what you thought yesterday or last week is creating today…this varies. With practice and intention you can reduce this time lag to seconds!

The time lag is for your own protection by the way. We wouldn’t want you to kill your boss or rape your sister. Not to stray too far here, I just need to point out that your thoughts are not yours! Until you claim them that is. You are sitting on the banks of a stream of consciousness and your fishing pole is extended. You are catching thoughts by the second and each one has to be evaluated and either kept or discarded! The mind is an incredible computer and crunches this data so fast you often do not even realize it is doing so. Your conscious will can be utilized here to keep the thoughts you like and discard those which are not an expression of who you are?

Returning to the actors or persons in your life… they may change either by death, geography, marriage, or other circumstance. Over the course of your life the individuals change, but the roles do not! For example your aunt that inspired you as a youth shows up in your adult life as a dear friend who inspires and comforts you just as she did. Or you find a father figure in a friend at work. Getting the picture?

Certain archetypes exist in our life from time to time, so look closely at the people in your life whom you have daily interaction with. Ask what role they play? Have they always played this role? Is someone else playing it now? How do you interact with them? For more on Archetypes please see this website.

Take the idea of archetypes to a broader level and see that your current life probably fits into a story line and when the entire span of your life is considered you may see a series of archetypal patterns emerge. This is your evolutionary journey or your life lessons.

What this understanding has done for me is to make living a purposeful life easier as well as making it easier to love any person I meet in the first moment of introduction. I immediately see that person as another member of the family and not only do I feel more comfortable but they do as well, because I am radiating Love!

Multi-Purpose Life

by Sequoia Elisabeth

What if you have thousands if not millions of purposes in life and not just one? New books on the purpose of life or finding your true purpose in life come out all the time. We all feel a need for life to have meaning! What if that meaning is in the mix and simply by breathing and engaging in this realm your purpose is served?

Think about this for a minute. It could be your purpose is to smile at that certain person at work at just the right time to give them hope when they are feeling down. Or take your granddaughter to the zoo and inspire her to be a zoologist or simply to love her. Your purpose could be simply to think positively and love each person you meet with an open heart and kind words.

Super Heroes are one of our favorite subjects for the movies, however we are each a super hero in ways that really matter to those we love and care about! The movies are just there to inspire and entertain you. We each have our gifts to offer the world and what I am offering here today is the realization that you cannot miss your purpose as long as you wake up in the morning and live your life. The details take care of themselves.

Humanity has a higher purpose also that each of us is here to share. Some people call them principles to live by, but I see them as Universal Purpose. The first one is to “Be Here Now”. This simply means to be awake and aware of as much as possible at all times. The easiest way to know you are aware is to feel your breath as it moves in and out of your body. This can be done as you go about your daily activities. Simply feel your body, every cell is alive, pulsating with energy and carrying you to your destination – Feel It!

The next Universal Purpose is to “Love Unconditionally”. I think this is self explanatory; however I will point out some key points here. Love has no limits, and it is your very essence. Love is who you are! When you are embracing this gift you serve your purpose. Love feels good always and all ways, so if you are feeling pain that is a sin or a sign you have missed the mark. Loving is actually the easiest path or the path of least resistance, so go with the flow and stop trying so hard. Remember Love is your nature, it is as easy as breathing and as close as your heart beat.

The third Universal Purpose is to “Tell the Truth – as you see it”. We each come from a place of our personal understanding and knowledge. It is important to always operate from this point of Truth. Lying is a deliberate avoidance or aversion from this place of Truth and it harms you every time you do it. A layer of separation or veil is created each time you lie and on the journey home you must clean through these layers to reach source. All humans have a certain number of layers; it is simply an occupational hazard of being human. We make mistakes, do not fret my child. Instead focus on the Truth and be honest with yourself and others always.

We each have personal purposes as well as the Universal and these are discovered by listening closely to your heart and being observant of life and that which inspires you. What brings you Joy? I am not talking about having fun; I am talking about a deep feeling of blissful satisfaction and serenity. The answer to every question is always right there and all you have to do is look, listen and feel.

Money in a LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

In a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) standard of exchange no longer comes in the form of money. Trade still takes place but without money, however this is not the central foundation, nor is it barter. Instead things are based on gifting and resource allocation distributed equally. All peoples are given their basic needs equally and since Love is the basis of society, compassion including the care of others comes first. No one would take anything without considering the needs of others first. Things of value are exchanged as gifts, such as flowers, a bottle of wine, a meal, jewelry, art or just about anything depending on the giver and receiver.

Whatever is needed is available from a central repository which operates much like a library. If you need a tool or large item you simply walk in and borrow it for a certain amount of time, and when done you return it for someone else to use (it is the property of the people – not the state or government. Each person is taught from birth that all material possessions belong to Mother Earth and her gift to anyone and everyone who respects and honors the gift). Disposable items such as food or cleaning supplies are provided much as they are today, only there is no money involved. Nothing harmful to the environment is ever distributed.

Since all work is done on a volunteer basis from the Love within each person, money is not used. Resources belong to everyone and no one. No one hoards anything at any time because they understand the Universal principles which are taught from birth. Love, caring, compassion and the well being of all life is central to all teachings.

No one person or organization is “in control” although there is an organization responsible for basic functions such as maintenance of the technology and infrastructure. The Central Council of Elders oversees the computer which runs all functions on the entire planet. Every aspect of life is attended to, although it is done in a seamless fashion.

If you need a gift for a special occasion you go to the market area and simply pick something out or you make it yourself. It is an honor to have your creations appreciated. The principle of “what you give is received” is fully understood by all. Great care and effort is put into making great works of art and craft. Giving them is the reward.

The basic items are produced as needed and not made in advance as they are today. This saves resources and wastes nothing. No extra space is needed for storage or warehousing. Old items are recycled. Requests are sent to the distribution center where it is picked up by the person who ordered it. If you remember the store “Service Merchandise” the process works very similar to their concept, however a computer displays the item in 3D hologram and is not actually manufactured till requested.

The aspect of a LBE that makes it so desirable is a good standard of living for all citizens, no one is above another and no one is treated with privilege or disdain. Since all resources are carefully monitored and maintained by a neutral computer system, equality and efficiency are assured. Money is no longer a motivator in society!

Resources In A Material World

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Since technology is so critical to a Resource Based Economy, so is manufacturing. Products and supplies are still needed and this is the beauty of the new system. Manufacturing is all automated as is most all of the transport and distribution.

Raw products are mined by machines, processed and distributed by machines. People are not need or very few will be around to oversee operations and make sure repairs are being done and the product is getting where it needs to go. Eventually no one will be needed in this role. The transition period will take a few years and is already in motion.

Most manufacturing these days is automated, if not totally, then partially. This is mainly concerning mass production, because there will always be the individual shop owner that provides a personal touch to a service or product. Disposable products such as flowers, food, and drinks are a good example. Machines can pick flowers, but having a person give them to you adds that personal touch that we do not want to lose. People are the reason for the season so to speak. We all will have jobs that make us happy and fulfilled.

Construction and building maintenance is done by machines or volunteers. The idea of resource management without the profit motive makes implementation so much easier. People will work from a giving perspective and the rewards will be in the joy they bring to others. Quality will be higher as will be the energy of the building. We all know that the amount of love and care put into a building or anything really, is reaped by those who enjoy it daily. Visit a custom or home build building and see if it does not have a more “homey” feeling. The principle is “what you put into a job is what you get out” or what you give you receive.

Farming is automated as much as possible, but will still need a few people to oversee things and do the jobs a machine cannot. This is why in the outlying regions rural maintenance cities will be hubs for farming. Areas that are not suited to farming or mining are left as natural spaces, no hunting or fishing will be allowed. Only nature watching, scientific study or communing will be allowed in these areas. With the equal and efficient use of resources there is plenty of land left over for wild areas.

Farming will be warehoused to as large a degree as possible, with things like lettuce, tomatoes, berries, and other vegetables being grown in hydroponic warehouses that are lit with artificial light and clean filtered water systems which require no pesticides. This can be done underground or wherever it is needed, even on artic, ocean or off world locations. The possibilities are only as big as your imagination and desire.

Technological Age

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The key to a resource based economy is the use of technology wherever possible. This means it is used in almost every aspect of living. Every standard system and social service will be automated including, food production, energy supply, maintenance, waste removal, recycling, health care, education, communication, transportation, construction/housing, and entertainment (except live performances). Technology is woven into the very fabric of our existence and has become so natural it even enhances our bodies.

Humans are free now to pursue Spiritual, Artistic, Social, Interpersonal and Scientific interests. Since no one has to work any longer society as a whole has grown in many fantastic ways. Living is a joy now and happiness is at all time highs. This is not to say that no one works or ever gets sad. This is a part of life and now we are free to experience them on different terms, without fear.

Technology still needs minor maintenance and supervision, however even this will be automated. Those who work do so as volunteers. Most people work serving others in various capacities and do so from a deep desire to give. The feminine energies are strong in this new Age of Aquarius.

Every industry is now dominated by technology. Politics is gone, being replaced by a council of elders who earn their positions after many years of volunteer service. Decisions are made by the central computer system on the basis of equal resource allocation and runs the entire world. The council of elders oversees operations of the computer and governs the entire planet. No borders exist between counties and instead geography is identified by regions of vegetation and location, such as the tropical central Americas or the Plains of Russia. It is more earth based in natural systems.

Religion too has gone by the wayside as people awaken to the Spiritual force that resides in each of us. People realize they do not need another to tell them what to do or how to act. Guidance streams to them every second of every day from the one source. Oneness is embraced in its true form. Each person expresses this Spirituality differently and groups of like mind still gather, but not in the spirit of teacher/pupil, but of sharing and community.

There is no aspect of living that is not touched by technology; however each person has a choice to the degree of technology they enjoy. Most will have technology do all for them, but some will choose to do things manually, for fun and growth.

Technology in a LBE becomes the servant on the lowest levels and people are elevated to higher levels of existence. How they experience the world is still up to them and the major obstacles of money and lack have been removed. Resources are shared equally so everyone is comfortable and their physical needs are met leaving plenty of room to grow in mental and spiritual areas.

Speak To Me

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The new earth (a Love based Economy/Society, LBE) is made up of core cities all over the world close to, but not exactly where cities are located today. Cities will come in four sizes, Metropolis (1 million or more population), Large city (100,000-999,999 population), small city (1,000 to 99,999) and rural maintenance city (under 1000 population). 97% of the population lives in a city. The wilderness is left for wild things.

Each city is connected to all others by an inter-world communications net built right into any and all infrastructure. Just as we have phone lines today each building has communication nodes installed which transmit signals wirelessly. Each community/city has its own grid of wireless networks so anyone can speak to anyone else anywhere in the world from wherever they are with a good quality signal even from buildings below ground or in remote rural maintenance cities. Like raindrop ripples on a smooth lake the calls go out to cover the world and beyond.

Communication in a LBE is conducted in diverse ways and as all else, it is totally free. Public Comm Centers equipped with all available communication modes are provided in commonly used areas such as transportation centers, shopping areas, educational sites, and entertainment centers as a convenience to those who have misplaced theirs or simply as backup to personal communication devices. All communicators automatically translate any known language, so talking to those in other countries is as simple as saying hello.

Traditional mail and email are still used on a limited basis for those who choose them, however most prefer telepathy or voice communication. Protocols or guidelines are in place for the use of telepathy (a form of telepathy exists today, so this is not far off). In a LBE each citizen respects the others right to privacy. It must be remembered that in a LBE all actions come from Love and are Loving. As the ability to communicate by telepathy grows, learning to keep thoughts private is learned rather quickly. (In a LBE privacy is not an issue because we all realize Oneness, meaning the one mind knows all there is to know and we access it on a need to know basis.)

The new earth is characterized by a Universal understanding of Oneness and its ramifications. Each thought, word and action is carefully processed by our increased mental capacity which has been growing over many years of evolution. (The future is now, consider how much more intelligent the average person is today compared to just 300 yrs ago).

A LBE exists today in a sparse peppered pattern all over the earth and it is growing daily. The time has come and the masses are realizing they control their destiny, not some Government Official or Religious Leader. Spirit works through each of us and as we awaken to the possibilities life will quickly follow suit.

Transition of Ages

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Pisces is the last of the astronomical ages and the end of an era. Aquarius is the dawn of the new earth! The changes occurring now are profound. We have all seen a glimpse of what is to come, with the drastic natural events such as tsunami’s, earthquakes, floods, tornados and severe weather, however what I speak of is even more profound. Here is a primer.

War has been a way of life for the past 2000 yrs or more and it is time to hammer our swords into ploughshares. Peace is the way of Aquarius. An age of perfect harmony is upon us and all we have to do is embrace it. It stands before us like an old friend. Let’s welcome her in with open arms!

Pisces is the old ways of manual labor, chaste systems, fossil fuels, power based monetary systems and dominate masculine energy. This is giving way to the precise opposite – automated labor, equalitarian systems, renewable energy, Love Based Society, Resource Based Economy, and passive feminine energy.

The beautiful part of all this is we each chose to be here now to take advantage of this shift in energy (takes years to complete). It is a great opportunity to shift your own energies to a higher vibratory level. It is time to shift your consciousness to the next level! This is a choice not a requirement, so those who prefer to remain in the old Pisces ways are free to do so. This article identifies the Aquarian age as beginning in 2060, but also says it take 200 years to make the transition. Meaning we are shifting now (1960-2160).

The Aquarian age is also showing in our gender and sexual preferences, “Iconclasm such as this is characteristic of Aquarians who are frequently noticed to have “unusual” sex lives, such as androgynous and bisexual. Mind you, by Aquarian standards, nothing is that unusual. That is what it means to be an Aquarian, an individual.” (Fenn N. R., 2007)

Think deeply about what your heart desires. Better yet learn to listen to the heart and not your head. This is another of the shifts. We are moving into thinking and intellectual Aquarian age so Heart based guidance will be needed. The brain connects you to the mind which we have learned is a wonderful tool, but it is not who you are – this is connected through the Heart.

The Heart is what connects to the soul. You may know this as intuition which is similar. The soul guides you by communicating with “gut feelings”. Have you ever chosen a path and then felt sick in your stomach? Those who are familiar with the chakras know the soul chakra is in the solar plexus or approximately in the stomach region. The Heart chakra connects directly to your Higher Self or Oversoul (heart chakra is literally over the soul chakra). Working with this energy and opening this doorway is key for everyone who chooses to move on to the Age of Aquarius! See the meditation at bottom of page.

In conclusion, I ask you to look closely at your life and see the change that is taking place and know that it is bigger than you! Like an organism in a caterpillar we are all changing…
