Gender Diversity

by Sequoia Elisabeth

What does this mean? The title of this website is Unity in Gender Diversity so it may help to have a concept as to what this means. In this blog I will break it down into each component so you have a deep understanding of the message behind this title.

First of all, Unity is self explanatory. It means Oneness and interconnectedness of all things. You are intimately connected to every aspect of your life like a bubble of sea foam on the surf is connected to the ocean. Separation is a concept, not a reality. The reality is Unity.

Gender is also a concept which has been created by society. The reality is gender has several aspects some of which are fluid and some are not. Sexual expression or human sex includes – male, female, and intersex. However sex is NOT gender! Gender is an individual‘s perception of the inner self as man, woman, or some combination of both, transgender. Gender and sex are hardwired into the brain at birth, however what is not hardwired is social conditioning and this accounts for much of our behavior. (For more in depth explanation, please read – Sex and Sexuality)

At birth each child is labeled as male or female and in a few cases intersex. So society treats this child according to certain unspoken guidelines, boys are treated with privilege, while girls are pampered and the intersex child is often treated as a mistake or disease. The fact about intersex children is simply that they are a natural variance. There is nothing “wrong” with these children! Unfortunately what often happens is the physician, family or both decide what is right instead of allowing the individual to choose when they are old enough to make this decision.

The gender rules are constantly changing so I admit that the above description is only one perspective. The point I make here is that gender is a social construct layered upon the natural, hardwired gender of the individual. The way I see it is simply that I was born with male sex and a female brain, while my social conditioning was male the hardwired gender is female. There is nothing “wrong” with this, it just is.

I do contend that nature knows best so this means I am transgender! I am not man or woman, I am a combination of both. The funny thing about gender is that it occurs on a spectrum like a rainbow so very few individuals are fully man or woman, most people are somewhere in between. When combined with sex and a few other factors our self image emerges. As you grow this self image may change and thus the title of this blog, Transitions Blog.

The diversity aspect is also somewhat apparent, so I will simply say that the world is a rainbow. Each and every aspect that makes us human comes in a spectrum and thus the infinite expressions of being a Human Being. Even twins are not the same although they are more alike than any other humans.
When combined, Unity in Gender Diversity, means that we are all interconnected human beings with diverse gender identities and social presentations. Just as snowflakes are all similar but different, Human Beings are too!

Applications of a Love Based Economy

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The rubber hits the road when you apply the principles of a Love Based Economy (LBE). The principles have been presented over the past many months and are woven thru the blogs from the very beginning. For specifics please read the Ebooks available HERE. They are not written specifically for a LBE, however they are the foundation from which the LBE came to be.

It has been expressed that a LBE and the resource based economy I have been supporting in my blogs over the past few months is idealistic and not possible in today’s society. I agree that we have a ways to go, however I will also say that we have been on this path for many decades, if not centuries. The time has come to make the jump.

Several key elements are required on the personal level to make this shift. One is to believe it is possible and visualize, talk, and write about your ideas for a Love Based Economy/Society. (Consider what Walt Disney created with this technique!) Two is to take personal responsibility for it by living it. This is not as hard as it may seem. Start small and work up.

Habits take 30 days to develop so be consistent in your efforts. Anything you do consistently over and over becomes automatic, however at first results will not be observable and in fact the opposite may appear. Do not get discouraged! If it is worth doing then it is worth staying with it. Allow yourself a few failures before you change tactics and stay with the dream, always and all ways.

The more you live your dream the closer it will be to reality. Understand also that the dream goes through many changes or transitions each leading closer to the goal. This is evolution in action! Take time to reflect on what is working in your life and focus on these things. A fix it approach only creates more issues to fix, so I don’t recommend this approach. What you focus on grows, so stay focused on your dreams and desires!

Make a list of things you can do today to be more loving in your daily life. Question your motives for doing everything you do. In fact, question all of reality. Is death and destruction really as prevalent as the media would have you believe? Look around your person and ask yourself how much violence you have in your personal life. What have you seen with your own eyes? A quote from Ken Keyes sums this up, “A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror”.

For more info on a resource based economy please visit, Zeitgeist Movement, and on a love based society the writings are diverse and abundant so please explore this dream and make it reality. Yes Magazine is another good source for ideas pertaining to this subject. For more on Love and God I highly recommend the writings of Neale Donald Walsch, start with Conversations with God.

I will be busy living the dream of a Love Based Economy so my blogs will be fewer and further between, but please stay in touch and keep reading! Whenever you encounter a crossroads (or any decision) in your life, ask yourself one question. “What would Love do now”?

Balancing Act

by Sequoia Elisabeth

This blog is a reminder about being centered in your body and living consciously. It is a re-post from Feb. ’11. Please let me know what you would like to know more about. In this time of drastic changes, upheavals, and shifts it is more important than ever to stay balanced within. Jesus Christ literally means “I am Centered” or balanced within. Jeshua Ben Joseph reached that state and earned the title Jesus Christ and so can you. The following is a quote from the eBook Sex and Sexuality.

“Both masculine and feminine energy are a part of every person on earth. Because these are energies and not traits per se, they behave like energy. In each moment we are expressing either one of these energies depending on both our situation and the situation surrounding us. Let’s start by getting a better idea about what the rod and receptacle represent.

Feminine, the receptacle, is the energy of a woman such as soft, curvy, voluptuous, receptive, attractive, subtle, gentle and serene. Often this energy is slow moving and emotional. It is equated with the Yin in the Eastern philosophies. This term can be somewhat ambiguous and depends on use, location and nationality of user. It can be referred to as a feeling or an appearance. The word feminine is used to describe energy not the person. It is the behavior of the person which could be innate or could be learned and is most often both. It does not necessarily mean man or woman, although feminine traits are associated with women. Men have feminine energy too and in order to live a happy life they need to balance this feminine energy with their masculine. The receptacle is designed to receive a rod.

Masculine, the rod, is the energy of a man, such as strong, hard, angular, rough, aggressive, giving and active. The rod is designed to give to the receptacle. They work together and cannot be separated. Masculine energy is often fast moving and less emotional than the feminine. It is equated with the Yang in the Eastern philosophies. It can be referred to as a feeling or an appearance. Women also have this energy and it can be an important part of a woman’s life. Being the active energy masculinity is how we get things done. So everyone uses this at some time or another. If you are constantly doing things then your energy is weighted (think of a scale) to the masculine.” (Sex and Sexuality)

Working with this energy takes practice and awareness, which is why I think it is so important. Anything that holds us in awareness is a good thing. Awareness is part of being alive, centered within your body, and living in the now. Take a moment to feel your body. One function of pain is to keep you aware and direct your attention to some aspect of your life. Louise Hay has a wonderful book on this subject, You Can Heal Your Life, which I highly recommend.

Taking this exercise to the next level; be aware of the masculine and feminine energy within your body. Remember the traits above and know that Masculine energy is held in the arms and shoulders, while feminine energy is in the pelvis, hips and legs. As you go about your daily activities, notice where your energy is. The task you are engaged in will often determine the energy brought forth. This is done unconsciously and automatically. I am asking you to be aware of it. Once you notice where it is and how you use this energy you can use this energy consciously to help with your desires and goals. This is especially important in relationships, working, and in playing. Women radiate attractive energy (femininity) when they desire to attract attention for personal or professional reasons. Men use masculinity in the opposite fashion a woman uses her femininity. The man uses giving and action when in a relationship to a woman. So men if you wish to find a woman be active to the point of aggressive and giving. Don’t forget that everyone has both energies and be ready to balance your energy depending on the situation. This same dynamic works for homosexual’s only one individual will be in the opposite and balancing energy. One is feminine, attractive and the other will be masculine, giving and active, this dynamic can shift back and forth as well. Once again a reason to stay aware! Blessings on your Journey of Love ♥

Energy A-Bun-Dance

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Continuing our series on a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) we consider energy sources and use. Energy is free and abundant in a LBE because each individual realizes that everything is energy. Money is no longer necessary because it is simply a middle man or motivator if you will. In a LBE, Love is the motivator there is no need for tokens.

In a LBE no one ever uses more energy than they need at any one time. The days of having every light and appliance running in the house at the same time is over because each person is operating from Love and an honest care for their fellow beings. Responsibility is natural as is being aware of the impact your actions have.

Energy is now created at the point of need so the need for power lines strung all over the place is gone, meaning the beauty of earth has returned. Renewable energy is the only form energy takes now. Zero point generators and other systems are in place so that each device being used comes with its own power source built right in. No wires, just a simple device providing whatever service it is designed for. Please see this website for more info, http://www.greenearth4energy.com/zero_point_energy.html.

Energy like everything else in a LBE is available to everyone equally, and more importantly free will is respected. The difference is that now, Love energy is predominant in society, so love is expressed by everyone in all situations. Even if something unloving manifests it is seen as temporary and allowed to pass without drama. The less energy given to it, the less likely it is to persist.

Society transformed to a Love based system once the previous fear based society was allowed to pass. The people finally woke up and saw just how unnatural a fear based system is and how much energy is required to maintain it. Love is a natural state and requires little energy to manifest, however it does require a certain awareness, acceptance, openness and trust to operate from. It is like slipping into a warm stream and swimming in the gentle waters of Great Spirits flowing Love. Once in the flow it is not necessary to leave and in fact you will be inviting everyone you know to join you. May the flow be with you.

Hair or There

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Gender Transition is a major transformation that takes the help of more than one professional. For those who identify as the opposite gender from their birth sex it is not a question of whether to transition, but how to. The consequences are far reaching and profound. However on a very basic level the decision was made before you were born.

One of the issues all Male to Female transgender individuals deal with is hair removal. So this blog is dedicated to the many options available. This is by no means all inclusive. I am still finding new methods! So be inquisitive and do your research. The old stand-by is electrolysis, so give this serious consideration and find out why most girls use this and why some do not. Transgendercare.com has a good review of electrolysis.

Laser is the new kid on the block and is not to be discounted. It is faster, cheaper and less painful than electrolysis. The results when done properly are permanent, especially when coupled with CHT (Contra-Hormone Treatment).

This leads to the next method, Contra-Hormone Treatment, which means replacing the body’s genetic hormones with the opposite sex. Once again some great info is available online about this. Be sure to review the website, Unity in Gender Diversity – Gender Learning Center.

Epilation comes in many forms so please do your research and use a hair growth inhibitor afterwards. I recommend Kalo lotion or spray, but there are others that work also. The method I used was Nad’s to remove the hair and then Kalo lotion afterwards. This works especially well on the legs. Do not attempt this on the face.

For the face tweezing works, followed by Kalo, however if you are going to this pain you may as well have electrolysis, which can also be followed with the use of Kalo or similar product. Please know that tweezing hurts as much as electrolysis and is not permanent. Any method that simply pulls the hair is undue punishment in this authors opinion.

Even electrolysis can be a simple hair pulling if not done correctly and the male face requires special care. So please review the sites on the website Unity in Gender Diversity and Transgendercare.com.

The general rule is if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is, however I would like to point out that if you don’t try you won’t know. Be prepared to fork out considerable funds! Do your research in advance! One electrolysis method I would like to mention is E-3000. I have heard good reports that it does work if you are willing to endure the procedure. It is done by two individuals in two days and completely clears the face once. It requires 3-4 treatments and is very intense. For more see this website and search the internet. I recommend talking with others who have had the procedure before choosing this path.

To wrap up this blog, I would like to stress that hair removal is more important than GRS/SRS in the gender journey, although both are important. Start hair removal asap upon your decision to transition. The sooner it is done the better!

Reflect And Contemplate This

by Sequoia Elisabeth

This week is going to be a week of reflection and contemplation. There will be no blogs and all I ask of you is to think about what a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) looks and feels like. How can we change our present to align with a LBE? Do we even need to?

Remember that we are each responsible for our version of “reality”. I know it is hard to imagine that your partner is experiencing the world differently than you are or anyone for that matter, however we each experience the same world in different ways, thus the personal differences from one person to the next. I believe this is why we like to share our world/knowledge/experiences with others. The more points of view you have the closer you are to the source experience of seeing, knowing and experiencing it all.

Could you imagine watching one movie your entire life and that movie then becoming your reality? You know there are other movies, but you are not interested in them. All that concerns you is your movie. I think this is one way to live, however I also see this as a very limited form of existence as well.

Let us contemplate Oneness, Interdependence, and LBE this week. Please post comments or email me directly. Contact info is on the website, Unity in Gender Diversity. I also posted a link to a resource based economy so you can share in this concept. May your week be illuminated!

Transportation in a LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Transportation in a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) is our next topic of discussion. Getting around in a LBE uses the highest level of technological advancement available. There is no cost involved, and availability is abundant.

Since the cities are constructed around a central hub automated vehicles run constantly in a cycle around the city. Supplies are brought in by supply train for distribution to the final location. Cars and trucks are not allowed in the city, but are still used out in the country, between cities, and by enthusiasts.

Fossil fuels are no longer in use, so older vehicles are retrofitted with fuel cells or zero-point generators. Walking is a favorite activity so each loving person does so whenever the distance is less than one mile. Many people will walk five miles a day simply because they can. If for some reason they cannot walk, technology takes over so going where you want, by peddle, wheel, or air is never a concern.

The concept of ownership is obsolete in a LBE. As is the case in every aspect of a LBE, services are free and abundant, while also being respected, and never abused. When you need a vehicle you simply get in and go. There are no locks or keys to worry with. When done you make sure the vehicle is left in a ready condition for the next user. Since there are plenty of vehicles no person goes without, and even if there is a high demand each person makes sure others are served first.

Common areas of high demand like stadiums and theatres have mass transit serving them whenever events are scheduled. The central computer handles all systems so a balanced flow of traffic is moving at all times. In LBE people demand clean, efficient, and well maintained services in a loving and caring way, always taking into consideration other people’s needs.

The LBE is all about freedom, so transportation is a liberation, not a limitation. Moving about where you wish is simply a matter of making it so, expressing your loving and caring essence all the while.

Water in a LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Next we look at water and its vital role in a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE). As an essential to life on earth, water in a LBE is protected, honored and shared equally. Since it is not possible to own water, no matter what form it comes in, all people share its use equally and responsibly.

The most advanced technology is used to clean the water depending on where the community is. Desalination plants are used if an ocean is nearby. If in a low water area such as a desert communities work together to provide water for all citizens. Water is something that brings people together either in charity or in recreation, sometimes both!

Water based recreation continues to be a major past time the world over, while each person remembers to respect native species and not pollute the waterways. Each citizen enjoys the water in a loving way.

Water in a LBE flows freely and is used often for its aesthetic, medicinal and energetic properties. Schools teach the metaphysical properties of water along with the chemical and physical properties so each student has a rounded education which only adds to the child’s appreciation of Mother Earth.

Fountains, water art, and natural waterfalls abound because it is known that water is healing, calming and nurturing. Its feminine energy is both soft and hard, weak and strong. It takes three different forms, vapor, liquid and solid. It is the universal solvent and medium for myriad solutions. So what’s not to honor about this amazing, life giving, life sustaining, substance? Loving it comes easy.

Eating in a LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

As part of our continuing series on Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) we explore an aspect of life we all can relate to. Eating in a LBE is more community based than ever before. Food is grown locally and shared freely. No one goes hungry in a LBE because each person lives knowing we are all family. We now understand that poverty is a consciousness and is perpetuated by both the have’s and the have not’s. Those who hoard wealth are just as responsible for starving children as the children themselves. Not to say that each individual is not responsible for their own abundance. Poverty is based in fear, so when you live with Love there is no fear of having enough, what you have is shared freely and you know there will always and all ways be more.

Each community works together to provide as much fresh farmed food as possible using the most modern equipment and automation. Beside the large agrarian areas, food is grown in aquaponic greenhouse factories in the city and in individual homes. Each home that has land will grow basic food items to reduce the need in the overall system.

Hunting is no longer practiced in a LBE although it is not outlawed. Hunting preserves are allowed where the Native practice of honoring the animal is exercised and the entire process is a Spiritual joining of man and beast. All parts of the animal are used and meat eaten.

Meat for the mass population is farmed with loving intention, the animals are treated humanely and sustainably. Since meat is not longer the main course the demand for meat is far less which makes sustainable farming more practical. Farmed animals know their purpose and live to serve just as their ancestors did for the native peoples.

Eating is still a ceremony that is celebrated in diverse ways and gratitude for those who brought the food to the table, from the plant or animal itself to the person consuming the food, all are honored. We all know that the whole process is energy changing forms and is as natural as a seed germinating.

In a LBE food is one tool for living a life based in Love. Because each action we take is a statement of our Love. This means respecting our food, being grateful and using sustainable methods in the entire process. Carrots and Broccoli are as alive as a chicken or cow, so it is this life vitality that is consumed. The method of doing such is what makes a Love Based Economy/Society different than today’s. As you bless your food so does your food bless you.

Meditation and Transition

by Sequoia Elisabeth

As a method of coping with the challenges of transition I can think of no better way than meditation. Without it my journey would have ended long ago. So this blog is a short look at meditation and how I got started along with several suggestions for you.

Since childhood I was fascinated by those who meditated, especially monks. I could see the benefits but when I tried my mind was too wild and difficult to tame. I fidgeted or fell asleep. I tried biofeedback as a way to calm my mind and to control it which did help a bit however I did not have the discipline necessary to really make it powerful. These things take constant daily practice with determination and confidence. I had neither.

What I did have was sports, not really by choice but by necessity. Basketball was forced down my throat and so this became my meditation. On retrospect my coach was helping me meditate whether we knew it or not! You see meditation is not simply sitting on a mat in the lotus position and putting your mind in a theta brainwave state. Although that is the end result desired. Brainwave amplitude and frequency are the key.

“The brain is an electrochemical organ using electromagnetic energy to function. Electrical activity emanating from the brain is displayed in the form of brainwaves emanating from the brain is displayed in the form of brainwaves. There are four categories of these brainwaves. They range from the high amplitude, low frequency delta to the low amplitude, high frequency beta.

BETA – 13-30 cycles per second – awaking awareness, extroversion, concentration, logical thinking – active conversation. A debater would be in high beta. A person making a speech, or a teacher, or a talk show host would all be in beta when they are engaged in their work.

ALPHA – 7-13 cycles per second – relaxation times, non-arousal, meditation, hypnosis

THETA – 4-7 cycles per second – day dreaming, dreaming, creativity, meditation, paranormal phenomena, out of body experiences, ESP, shamanic journeys.

DELTA – 1.5-4 or less cycles per second – deep dreamless sleep

During meditation brain waves alter. A person who is driving on a freeway, and discovers that they can’t recall the last five miles, is often in a theta state – induced by the process of freeway driving. This can also occur in the shower or tub or even while shaving or brushing your hair. It is a state where tasks become so automatic that you can mentally disengage from them. The ideation that can take place during the theta state is often free flow and occurs without censorship or guilt. It is typically a very positive mental state. (http://www.crystalinks.com/medbrain.html)

Now that you know what meditation is you know that it is hard not to meditate. We all do it every day so why not use this tool constructively. You can see if you go too far you slip into sleep, but I have learned that it is not a bad thing. Meditate anyway and with practice you can get what you need from the exercise. This is key – it is an intentional exercise that you do daily. Focus on some aspect of your life that you wish to change or need help with, focus is good, but try not to think too much. I start off with a situation or dilemma I am working with and then let my mind go. Ask a question and then relax. Allow your thoughts to flow. Don’t judge them or try to direct them, just observe.

One thing I do now days to help the process is binaural beat brain wave therapy. It is simple really and can be very effective. Lots of material is available on the internet now, so explore this further. I started with Centerpointe Research Institutes program of meditation recordings and was very pleased. I used them for about 3 years till they just got too cost prohibitive so I looked elsewhere. Be sure to use stereo headphones to get the full effect. I recommend doing your research on this because I don’t have the space to explain it all and this is important. Start with this link.

The important thing is that you consciously meditate every day! Read my free eBook Methods of Raising Our Energy for more techniques. And know that you cannot mess-up or even avoid mediation. It is a natural part of daily human life!

Government in a LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The world of separation, borders, and nationalities is a thing of the past as the nations of the world follow the path of the Berlin wall. Power is now in the hands of individuals who embrace the new earth with open hearts, keen minds and strong bodies. Communities are emerging with a spirit of interdependence and cooperation for the highest and best good, because we all see now that there is only one. Gaia is united.

The world is now organized as a collection of metropolises with large ones being surrounded by smaller ones. Many where built around old cities, but most were constructed on new ground, since it was too complicated, inefficient and unproductive to build on existing sites.

The shift in consciousness came in 2010 and then swept the world within only a few short years. The construction of new cities, communities and social structure followed the LBE imperative with government not really being important in these communities.

All public service positions are volunteer, with a 2 term consecutive limit. This includes all leadership positions at all levels. The Highest and Best Good of everyone is kept as a central guiding principle, of which each person instinctively knows.

Automation has taken over many of the tasks, so there are not many political positions to fill. The few who do work in government do so in Joy and the spirit of serving their fellow citizens. Each person is stepping up and helping out right where they are and this cooperative spirit proved to be more than enough to move the world into a new age.

Physically the infrastructure has taken only 20 years to put into place and is evolving constantly. The more systems which are automated the less demand there is for a central governing body and so they were abandoned.

Now that each citizen understands their role in the LBE (do what you do best to serve the community) and that each is a reflection of God the need for medical care, crime prevention, and law enforcement has all but disappeared.

The need for Government in a LBE economy still exists but is no longer a position of power. As it always was intended to be, it is a position of service and for this reason the positions are easy to fill. With money, career advancement and personal gain removed from the picture, honesty and integrity have naturally returned. Love is the way.

Vocation in the LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

In the new LBE where resources are equally shared technology takes over the hard labor and frees people to follow their dreams. Jobs are voluntary because we celebrate our diversity and share our unique gifts with society. This is a continuation of our series on a Love Based Ecomony/Society.

People do what they do best, create. Each person follows their inner guidance and meets the needs of not only themselves, but society as well. Creation comes in many forms, from art to zeitgeist. Art, music, performance art, and the like are popular as forms of self expression now and even more so in a LBE because people now understand that everything you create is Art/self expression. You may have heard the expression, practicing the art of medicine. All vocations are an art form whether you create music, care for the needy, or design power generators.

Service is the major vocation throughout the world today and this will only grow in a LBE. Since the grunt work is done by machines very few people are needed to keep things running. When people come from the place of Love, they are more inclined to find the good in everything they experience. It is a cup runneth over mentality!

In the LBE people are in tune with the soul and thus always come from a space of Joy whether they are happy or sad. We still feel the gamut of emotions, only now we have mastered their use. The past 2000 years has been about learning to master emotion so that we can move into the next level of existence.

Congratulations, we have arrived! It is time to let go and let God. Celebrate all you have learned thus far and know that you are ready for the next step, a Love Based Society/Economy. You begin right now by asking yourself one simple question in every situation, “What would Love do now?”

Relationships in a LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Relationships in the LBE revert back to their only true purpose of sharing God’s Love. In more recent times it seems the ego has hijacked relationships to create separation and further its cause in this world, to keep you stuck here. For this discussion of a Love based economy, we are looking at society within the LBE, so it could be said that it is also a Love based society.

The fundamental premise of a LBE is Love of God, not man. When unconditional, omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent Love is embraced your Divine purpose is fulfilled. In a LBE each citizen understands, accepts and acts from this Divine Love.

Relationships are an expression of who you are, so that no matter who you meet they are a reflection of you, the Divine. This is fully understood in a LBE and embraced. Relationships are experienced awake and aware of all the dynamics of being human. There are no victims, only volunteers.

Courage will still be necessary to nurture any relationship be it Love, friendship, or acquaintance. Adversarial relationships are no longer necessary in LBE because each person sees the Divine in each person they meet. Growth is occurring now as a conscious choice and not because another person pushes you.

We have realized that lack and suffering are not necessary and are a thing of the past in a LBE. Growth happens on all levels as a function of the expanding Universe. Regardless of what we do, growth in consciousness carries us along like a bubble in an expanding sphere.

Each person you meet in a LBE is family so the birth family is less important, although they still serve a function in the early years of life. The birth mother and father may or may not be the ones raising the child, since we all embrace each other as family. It will depend on the living situation, need and often there will be many who raise the child.

The elderly have taken the role of being child care providers so that the children can learn from those who are the wisest. It is no longer the young woman’s duty to raise the children. They are strong and their skills are put to other uses which harmonize with the woman. It may include child care or it may not. The key is that everyone in the child’s life is supportive and helpful. No longer can a child be lost or forgotten.

Dating is something done from the desire to share of one’s self, for the sharing of Joy. Marriage is no longer the norm, because unions take place at a spiritual level and are not controlled by the church or government. A person Loves a certain person or number of people for as long as they desire. The innate desire to start a family and having children has become intimately tied into nature and the desires of Mother Earth. Populations are controlled by need and availability of resources in an intuitive way, much like animals control their populations.

Polyamorous, Pansexual relationships are the norm in a Love Based Society. In fact it is anything goes because each person is Loving and supportive of others, the concept of ownership is long past and each person is only interested in expressing God’s Love. Diversity is not only embraced it is celebrated!

Ownership in a LBE

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Ownership as a concept in the LBE is abandoned because each person realizes the illusion inherent in ownership. We as an enlightened society embrace honesty and truth to the point that it pervades each aspect of society.

The idea of paying for the right to use something that was originally meant for all beings to share simply is no longer acceptable. The present conditions we impose on each other where created so that an economic system would operate. Think about it for a minute.

You do work of some type and are paid for it, you then turn around and pay others for services you need to survive. It is a contrived system that separates and stratifies society, and simply does not allow equality! This system served its purpose and now it is time to move on to a cashless system where we no longer have to get something before we give of ourselves. Each person in a LBE realizes the source of all love, accepts their role in this love, and acts with compassion.

Gaia or Nature truly “owns” everything on earth as she provides the materials and can destroy anything we create. The idea of ownership when you really think about it is absurd. Even if you create something wonderful, it is not yours because you got the inspiration from Holy Spirit, and used materials from Gaia or Nature, all you did was put them together in your own unique way. Now yes this is a great gift and makes the world a beautiful place to live, but it is not ownership. It is giving.

No ownership frees us to live a life of safety and security. If citizens know they have food to eat, a warm place to sleep and other people to love and support them doesn’t this provide a powerful platform to live your life from? There is no concern about who’s home you live in, or who’s food you eat or who’s clothing you wear, because you know in your heart that it is yours as much as anyone’s. Each person in a LBE honors possession as the law, and at the same time each person only takes what they need at the moment always thinking about other’s needs above their own. This is a compassionate and loving way to live, this is a LBE.

Home Is Where The Heart Is

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The next look at a Love Based Economy (LBE) is how the home is affected. Certain concepts are key in this new economy and as the economy changes so will our homes. This principle has been around for a long time, but is as important as ever. Home is where the heart is.

Basically this means where you focus your love and attention you are supported and safe. When you enter a new house, say of a friend, with an open mind and positive attitude the reception you get reflects this. It also means that even if you don’t have a house of your own, you can still make anywhere your home by how you treat that area, be it a mansion or a box on the street.

The environment in which you live either supports or impedes you. When you put loving, caring attention into a place that is what you get out of it. This is done by keeping the area clean, organized, attractively decorated and comfortable. You can tell if the area is supportive by how you feel there, and how you feel after you leave. Being aware of your surroundings at all times is part of the experience in a LBE, because being aware makes the area alive and lifts your spirits quite literally.

Houses are sustainable, eco friendly and supportive of everyone in the new LBE. In order to create a comfortable environment all factors must be considered, because we know that life itself depends on our actions or footprint if you will. Thinking of others even when it is only a tadpole or tree is what a LBE is all about. Loving and supporting the environment leads to a loving and support place to live, simple huh?

We are no longer attached to homes as a sense of identity in the LBE. A home is where you sleep and live for a certain numbers of hours a day, but it is not who you are, just as your body or your car is not who you are either. In a LBE economy self worth is intrinsic and it is not sought in the outside world. Quite the opposite actually, because the home is made to support you and make you comfortable, life is about your activities and not about having the nicest home, or the biggest. It is what you give, not what you get. The egoic aspects to the home are a thing of the past.

In a LBE everyone has the basics a home provides, as equally as possible. This is about equal resource allocation and meeting each person’s basics needs, not about showing off or living a grandiose life. Everyone and no one is a millionaire in a LBE. In a LBE the citizens care about each other as much as they care about themselves. If one person is deprived then everyone is. This is the basic premise to Oneness and LBE.

Through the power of technology social class is eliminated. The LBE has no need for social class or power mongering. Since the basics of life are provided equally each person can explore self fulfillment in any way they choose. The natural order of life will direct each person through there desire to serve humanity. The more a person loves life the more life will love them back! In a LBE everyone knows this and opens the door to exponential growth!

Family In The Love Based Economy

by Sequoia Elisabeth

We begin an in depth look at each aspect of the Love Based Economy (LBE) starting with family, because family is central to most every society in the world today. For our discussion relating family to the Love Based Economy we are speaking of birth family, those persons related by bloodlines. Although many children are orphaned and are raised by loving souls who deserve the title of mother and father just as much as anyone does. It has always been my belief that all humans are family. Please know that those whom you consider family because they fit the role are by all means your family.

Historically speaking the birth family is a unit that acts as one, each person supporting the others in one way or another, even if that means being the antagonist. Family’s stick together and learn from each other in very deep ways. The potential for spiritual growth is greatest with the birth family because the ties run deep and so many traits are shared between members.

Your parents are closest to you because you are cut from the same mold so to speak. This close connection serves you by showing you who you are. It is like having a blueprint to work from, or a starting point. Where you go and what you do with your life as you grow is free will. Your choice! These choices were carefully made before you were born so that your life would have a guiding path.

What many couples fail to realize or at least heed is the influence of their relationship on the children. The children learn to love by watching the parents! So if your parents were not very good at loving each other, the children will look elsewhere for role models, the grandparents, neighbors, teachers, coaches, clergy, and public figures like movie stars, athletes and politicians.

It is rare these days for anyone to actually teach how to love, what a good relationship is or the meaning of it all. This role has traditionally been the parent’s job, although clergy and spiritual leaders do also teach love. And there is no guarantee that they have it figured out! If the child is paying attention life it-self will teach Love. One of the most valuable gifts you can give your children is to have a healthy relationship with your partner so they can learn from you. Telling someone facts or giving instructions means little unless it is backed up with experience, either direct or indirect.

Siblings are also our teachers as they provide support and test us constantly to help us gauge where we stand in our understanding. It is important to understand that one person’s mistakes can be another person’s perfect action. Plus if your sibling does things one way, you have the freedom to do it your way or follow their lead. We are indeed all in this together.

The other point that needs be stressed here is that there is no right or wrong way to love! Most of us learn by trial and error, as long as you keep on putting yourself out there and stay aware of what is working for you and what is not.

In the new economy it is imperative to stay awake and aware. The dynamics of the family will be similar, but the one thing that will change is our definition of family per se. It will no longer be restricted to birth family and will encompass all other human beings. Birthright will take on a wider more encompassing meaning. A LBE depends on each member supporting each other, as family members do. This means doing what you can to assist others and maintaining an open and welcoming policy in your home.

Every human being is a reflection of the One and seeing them in that light is pivotal to a LBE. Many stories have been written over the years that demonstrate this in both the positive (what to do), and in the negative (what not to do), however few of these stories actually have true unconditional love demonstrated. We know it when we experience it because the feeling of Joy lifts us, literally en-lightening us, giving the feeling of floating and being energized from within.

In the future I see the centralized birth family being de-emphasized and a more universal family approach taking center stage, because as we evolve the lessons we learn from family will be less prevalent. Our learning will extend further from the doorway (Family). As a higher evolved being the feeling of safety and security is extended out to include the community and beyond. A loving being living in a loving world has no enemies.

Love Based Economy Dream

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Every change, event, or shift in your life is based on a dream, either yours or someone else’s that you claim. Please remember that not choosing is a choice which results with you living someone else’s dream!

So Dream a little dream. The bigger the better! The more precise you are the better too. I could write an entire book on this; however, this is only a blog so I will not go into elaborate detail here. I am working on a more detailed dream log that will be published on my website and perhaps other locations as well. This will get us started.

I highly encourage you to write your dream life down and think of it often. Focus on the dream and not on what may appear as reality. Taking care of business is of course important, but do not fret over the daily matters. The transition that is occurring now is affecting every soul on earth and beyond. Know that what you are being given here is an opportunity for your dreams to manifest on a scale that has previously been unheard of.

A Love Based Economy comes from the heart, but is not that different than the life we now live. In fact it is the same but instead of people reacting to events and continuously making choices from immediate self centered needs, they are acting by conscious choice keeping everyone and everything in mind. It is a matter of awareness and maturity.

One could call this new LBE an evolution of the previous system. Hate, envy, jealousy, grief, and anger still exist in the new LBE but they are no longer a hang up for people. Each person has learned to use these tools for the growth they desire, not just for themselves but for everyone involved. Applying this maturity to the economy will mean drastic changes in those systems of exchange and self worth that presently are tearing the world apart.

Money will still be used, but in a decentralized system that allows individual communities to thrive. The currency will be different in each community and life will not depend on it. People will work as a matter of passion and care for the Highest and Best of everyone. Resources will be shared equally and ownership will no longer exist.

Each person will realize that they are one cog on the vast and dynamic machine of life. We each realize now that Life itself supports us and all those we Love and care about. We no longer put our children above all others and realize that each child is a member of the whole, none more valuable or gifted than another. Each child is encouraged to develop skills they are inclined to and given freedom of choice from the very beginning.

Rules, laws and regulations still exist, but have taken on a different role. They are more from the aspect of suggestion and recommendation. Moral and ethical guidelines are stressed from the earliest years of the child’s life. Each person grows up knowing spiritual principles critical to a developed mature life. Every child will have access to this information regardless of the conditions because the world is now about unconditional love first and foremost.

More on this LBE in future blogs, and in the mean time be thinking of your dream life and how you can be living that life right now. I can guarantee you that I am.

Agape Sex

by Sequoia Elisabeth

By far the most important concept I present in the eBook, Sex and Sexuality – One Woman’s Journey of Discovery, is in the following quote from Jesus.

Come to accept your bodies for their only true purpose.

They are vehicles for communication,

for the communication of Love. That is their only purpose.

Give them no other, and you will see a transformation in your lives

that will give you endless cause for joyous celebration and gratitude.

(Jesus the Christ)

I have mentioned many times in my blogs that the mind and the body are tools for exploring this 3rd dimensional world of material matter and ego mind. You are not your body, mind or thoughts. You are a Spiritual Being having a human experience! The essence of this Spiritual Being is Love, Agape Love or God’s Love. The love taught by the ego mind and almost everywhere in this world is needy, painful love that leaves you not only empty but feeling far from Loving. The periods of elation are short lived and the pain is often prolonged, depending on whether you wake up and realize that ego love is not the path.

What Jesus is telling us in the quote provided is that we are to spread the message of Agape. The body is a tool for doing just this and sexual intimacy is only one method. It is indeed a powerful messenger if used properly, however since these things are not taught in traditional education I am here to help.

I asked the question approximately 35 years ago and I am just now fully grasping the meaning of Love and the purpose of sex. It doesn’t need to be like that for you or the coming generations. Teach this to your children!

Sex is about Love, not ego love or mans love, but the Agape type, the Truth. The human body has five senses that each add to the experience of sexual intimacy and when the bible quotes Jesus as saying go forth and multiply, he means to share this Agape Love which is the cornerstone to his teachings! It does not mean to have babies. Let me be very clear on this – Sex is not about making babies, it is about communicating Love! Do so with all the tools given you.

Babies are the result of two bodies, one male and one female joining in Love and mutually agreeing in action and intent that this is the result desired. It is a spiritual bonding to extend this Loving relationship. Children are an extension of the parents and the relationship they share.

When sex is done for gratification, power play, or simply because ‘everyone is doing it’ the result is often painful and regretful, if not right away, later in life. The good news is when you ask Holy Spirit to assist in the correction of this error/sin all is forgiven. Another way to look at this is when two ego’s combine, more ego is created.

Put the intention of Love behind every action you take and each thought you claim. Greeting others with a warm hug, soft hand shake, or even a Loving connection of eyes is the way Love is shared in daily affairs. It is doing onto others as you would have done onto you.

If someone shows you Love, be aware that it is an expression of God’s Love, not this person coming on to you. The ego will quickly intervene here if allowed, I know from experience! When you share an intimate experience know that the person whom you are sharing is a vehicle for God’s spirit as are you. Do not get attached to a certain appearance or even a certain person, unless this is a path chosen consciously from the heart. There are no rules.

Do what feels right in your heart and know that good is coming from your actions. Have faith in Love, while being aware of the ego and choosing care-fully.

Sexual Taboos

by Sequoia Elisabeth

A taboo is “proscribed by society as improper or unacceptable behavior.” (Dictionary.com) Thus, depending on the society, what is acceptable may vary. Each society has a prescribed set of rules of conduct which evolve over time. We all follow these constructs either consciously or unconsciously.

Sex is often a volatile subject which goes way back depending on the founding society concerned. In the USA, we are very conservative when it comes to issues of sex behavior stemming from our strict Christian foundations. The sexual revolution of the sixties and beyond has tipped many of societies norms on their proverbial head! In my humble opinion this is a very good thing although it has come at a price. Anything surrounded by fear will create challenges. AIDS was born of this fear! It will be undone by its opposite, Love.

A few of the taboos that have been set aside are homosexual sex and polyamorous relationships. In some more conservative communities these remain taboo, but for the most part (esp. cosmopolitan cities) it is no longer taboo. The level of acceptance varies by community of course. Society can be thought of as a tribal consciousness and as this consciousness shifts so do the taboos. This consciousness will vary by community, but is still connected to the greater whole, like clouds on the horizon.

The consciousness which you embrace will be the governing factor in your acceptance. Let’s say you grew up in the Catholic Church which says it is taboo to have same sex intimate relationships, so as long as you remain in that community or consciousness you are bound by those taboos. Sometimes the community changes to embrace the consciousness of its members. For example DignityUSA is a catholic LGBT organization which embraces those life styles. This to me demonstrates the interdependency of the individual with the larger tribal consciousness.

Polyamorous relationships have been taboo until recently because frankly I don’t think the average person was mature enough. Polyamorous means having multiple consenting Lovers /intimate relationships. It means all parties are aware of each other and respect each other’s freedoms. It means the individuals have to be mature enough not to slip into jealously or possessiveness. I see this as being common in societies of the future, because it is natural for most humans. Unfortunately, the ego based ruling society of yesterday did not support this behavior and often suppressed it though the media, education, and social/religious avenues. However, as your individual consciousness shifts, so does the greater tribal consciousness. (which came first the chicken or the egg is an ongoing debate that I will not address at this time)

The bottom line here is that we each have choices that we make every day and these choices determine our individual path, but also influence the greater tribal consciousness as well. If you wish to explore a sexual taboo, then by all means do so, but do so with caution in an environment that is supportive and safe. If you do a little searching and this is important enough to you, then you will find those who support you.

Some sexual taboos are still too far out there at this time and cannot be embraced by society at large. Till the day comes where society is more accepting, there remains constructive methods of dealing with the compulsion to go beyond the law. Prison is not one of them. I would suggest contacting a professional sex counselor if you need guidance on these issues. There is nothing wrong with you or these acts per se, but staying within the law is conducive to a healthy life (for everyone).

What I do know is that God loves everyone, no matter who they are and no matter what they have done. Forgiveness comes from within your own heart and is supported by actions that put everyone’s safety first.
