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.

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.

Living Without Money

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Living without money is the answer to the current economic crisis. The current money system has been failing repeatedly since its inception. This is a good thing because it is the way we evolve. All systems on earth grow till they are no longer efficient and serving the needs and then they fail. Adaptations are made and a new modified system takes over and it seems little has changed. (This includes all living systems; the earth, plants, animals, and humans)

The roaring twenties are a good example where the economy grew very quickly, there were plenty of jobs and everyone (the middle and upper class) prospered. By the thirties though the system had been stretched as far as it would go and it failed. The great depression set in. A new system was put into place and off the economy went fueled by war in the forties.

After the war, the system worked well till the seventies when we experienced our first energy crisis and it was declared that we needed to escape our dependence on foreign oil. Things were propped up and life went on. This is the cycle which continues today. The government steps in and artificially props things up, mostly for corporations which run this country and everyone is lulled into a false sense of security.

The system is failing again and this time could be for good. We have a wonderful opportunity to replace the old failing economic system with one that is vibrant and promises hundreds of years of prosperity for all. This new Love Based Economy/Society (LBE) truly is an equalitarian society where everyone prospers to their own desire.

The documentary movie “Living Without Money” show cases one way in which we can make the shift from money to none. They call it a gifting economy, and others call it modified barter, the important thing is that it works. The system is still based on Love! This is the critical part. Without Love no system will work and at this point with the world teetering on destruction we need drastic changes.

I highly recommend seeing this movie so you can get an idea of how a gifting economy can get the world headed in the right direction. You too can live a very comfortable life without money! I am sure the system will look slightly different depending on the continent that you live on. For instance, in the USA with corporations running everything, bartering with the supermarket may be difficult, so people will be going to farmer markets and creating co-ops. Supermarkets will eventually fail or be replaced by a resource allocation system that is not based on money.

This is not about going back to the old barter system and living in the dark ages. It is about moving forward into the new age of giving, sharing and interdependence. It is about the world coming together as ONE, because we are One and the Earth is our sustenance! We are biting the hand that feeds us and this must stop – NOW.

I believe the gifting system proposed by the movie “Living Without Money” is a bridge to the more sustainable and prosperous system of resource allocation. I know that you realize a change is needed, so please do not think that propping the failing monetary system back up once again is an answer, it is only delaying the inevitable. By consciously choosing a LBE the future will flow right into our laps.

I Thought So

by Sequoia Elisabeth

All change begins with a thought which is evaluated with the six tools of the mind and then either implemented or discarded. Often times the idea is “run through the mill” hundreds or even thousands of times before it is tweaked enough to become reality.

The thought I am presenting today and for the past several months is a Love Based Economy/Society (LBE). If you have not read the previous blogs I hope you will take some time to look over them. The idea is not new or even unique and has been around all your life. John Lennon wrote and sung about it as have countless others over the centuries. The wonderful fact is the time has come to embrace this thought with all your heart, because you are not alone.

The Universe is in alignment for the transformation of this world into a LBE. I write now about this because I have seen it manifesting all around me and I am excited for the future of mankind. We have made it past the hardest of the changes and as more individuals embrace the new earth the faster and smoother the transformation will go.

The way to embrace the future is to wake up and take action in living a sustainable life. Live your life on purpose! Consider others in all your decisions and not just family. Think about the animals and plants that are affected by your choices. Consider the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the soil we grow our food in. Be compassionate!

The world I see is much like the Venus Project and I suggest you go to their site and explore some. The videos they offer are very informative and present some great ideas for creating the world of our dreams. The process is easy, take one step at a time and do not be in a hurry.

The Venus Project is already on phase three of its development and has been in motion since the 70’s. This next phase is a big leap into the future of mankind. It involves building a city to the specifications of this new ideal. Much of the technology needed already exists today (Please see the videos).

For more in depth information on how the Venus Project is being implemented please read the FAQ here. One of the key factors in this process is the world coming together and this is happening as you read this! It is possible and in fact a requirement for the future of mankind to have a world without borders, nationalism, or religion. We can no longer afford to fight over imaginary lines and ego claimed resources. The fact is plain, the earth is one and we are a part of earth not the other way around! Can you imagine your brain cells claiming ownership over your body? Charging the blood cells for entering its space? How about your skin charging the other organs for protection? Can you see the absurdity of our present world economic system? Consider the words of this song.

The world is one big organism called Gaia. You can hold on to the old ways and perish with them (flushed off like a dead skin cell) or you can open your heart and take a step back to see the bigger picture (embrace your role in this process). All is well. Everything that happens is meant to in the Divine Schema. The actions you take today add to the greater good! Please do not ever think you are not important! Your part is key to the final outcome. Only you know what that part is, listen carefully – Spirit speaks.

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”?

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.

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!

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.

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.

Gender Related Spirituality Transitions

Destiny Fulfilled

by Sequoia Elisabeth

This blog is a continuation of the previous blog titled Destiny. Gender transition is not a conscious choice like most people think of it and neither is homosexuality, pedophilia, autism or any other condition. These are choices made before birth that must manifest and be worked through. It takes your entire life to fully experience these gifts and they affect everyone you meet, even if only for a few minutes. The affect can be positive or negative, that is up to the individual you meet. If you are positive and giving of your talents, then the meeting will be positive. All Universal Laws apply!

The message I wish to convey in this blog is a continuation of the previous blog and it is very simple. Even though transgender is a choice before birth, it is not something that can be ignored. It cannot be made to “go away”, it is not something to “cure” and it is not a disease! Gender Identity is what it is and the hard part is that it is not listed on your birth certificate or in any way known to anyone at birth.

Gender identity must be discovered over time and with introspection. The child of 3-6 years old can usually tell others what it is, and sometimes if ignored must be rediscovered later in life, usually at puberty or much later in life. Most children have a gender identity that matches their physical sex, so gender is often over looked or just assumed. However in about 3% of the population the gender identity and physical sex do not match as in my case.

I was too scared and confused to know what was going on, so the issue was not addressed. My life was in full swing by the time I figured it out as a senior in high school, so I ignored the feelings and sometimes overwhelming urge to express my feminine nature. To release this energy I crossdressed for 30 years and finally I faced the feelings I was having and transitioned. It was not something that I could ignore. It is not a choice, because the choice was made long before birth. Please understand this when you are dealing with anyone who is coping with this condition.

Transgender, and any other condition as mentioned above affect the whole family and each person involved in this person’s life. So the one’s closest to this individual must transition along with the transgender individual. This is often a soul agreement made before birth as mentioned in the last blog. The opportunity for growth here is phenomenal and must not be ignored. This is a divine gift! Embrace it and work it out with everyone you love. Be not afraid to be yourself! As hard as it may seem the rewards are worth every effort filled, painful and joyful moment. Remember one thing above all else, Love is the way…

Learning Understood

by Sequoia Elisabeth

What exactly is happening when you learn something? To answer this question an understanding of how energy works, what the human body is for and what makes up knowledge is required. We cover them briefly here, so if you do not follow, please check out the materials available on the website (Link below).

I will trust that you have had basic science and physics, so you know that Energy is Everything, it is matter, it is thought, and it is the thread that holds reality together. Energy can be a wave or it can be a particle and more importantly it cannot be created nor destroyed.

The human body has one purpose to communicate Love. Anything that is done with the body either communicates Love (Divine Love, God’s Love) or what is Not Love (ego). There are many ways we communicate including the five senses, body language, and mentally (telepathy – and Yes you are).

Knowledge is an awareness of a fact, skill, or circumstance. Everything there is to know exists right now through Infinite Mind, Cosmic Consciousness or GOD. So learning is not acquiring something you did not have before. It is becoming aware of a skill, fact or circumstance you were not aware of before. So let’s look deeper.

Since everything is energy this means that all knowledge is energy. Energy has a vibrational frequency and thus knowledge exists on different levels of vibrational frequency. You are familiar with the grades we all went through in school. As our knowledge grew, so did our vibrational frequency as we aligned with the awareness of certain facts, skills or circumstances.

So now we take this to a new level, and consider what we learn without knowing we are learning. This starts right away even before you are born. Your mother lives in a certain environment and your vibrational frequency will be aligned with hers and to a lesser extent your fathers depending on how much time you spend around him. Everything in the environment is exerting some influence on you and you either align with that energy or you resist. It works both ways also, so understand that you too are radiating at a certain level of awareness/vibrational frequency and the Higher Energy wins. This is not a given, however this is the way it works unless you consciously choose a lower energy vibration.

What about heredity? Remember that you are created by the genetic material from your parents and also from the environment you are in and the environment they are in. Fundamentally speaking all heredity is energy alignment. What your parents or guardians believe is being passed on to you by entrainment. In case you don’t know what this means, think alignment and rhythm. It is like when ten clocks on the same wall all begin to swing their pendulums in harmony/ at the same rate. You are “learning” all the traits, propensities, talents and short comings from both your parents and the environment.

This is very powerful information because you can align your energy with any source you like. You are not bound by the limitations of your family ties! These ideas are entrained deeply within the psyche and do take time to work their way out, but with conviction and persistence anything is possible.

Stepping Through Transition

by Sequoia Elisabeth

Transition is sometimes larger than you and involves the entire Universe as is happening right now with the Galactic Alignment in 2012. And sometimes it is very personal such as an illness, career change, or moving to a new town. One thing is for sure, you have, are, or are going to experience a transition.

Successfully undergoing the transition involves, accepting the change, being practical and focusing on your goal. For example you are diagnosed with a tumor and before you know it you end up in surgery and your life is changed forever. You probably did not plan on this, although you may have prepared for it by having health insurance. How does one handle a transition of this magnitude?

By following the three steps of a successful transition! First, accept the situation and then take a practical approach by assessing the situation. Assessment is an ongoing process and should be done at least weekly if not daily. So here you are and you desire to be there, the next step is to consider the options for getting there.

In our example, you have had surgery and now you need to heal and put your life back together again. Doing the same things you did before will likely lead to another crisis, so perhaps changing the way you live may be of benefit. Ok, so you have determined the actions you need to take, such as eat healthy, exercise, talk through your challenges and release any pent up emotions.

A short commentary about all dis-eases – they have emotional root causes that when dealt with prevent their recurrence. If they have manifested into physical form then both the physical and emotional aspects must be addressed. This is the purpose of an active Spiritual life, to constantly be in touch with your inner feelings and honestly deal with them before they manifest into physical reality.

As you are taking action to move your life to a new level be as positive and practical as you can. Every little thing you do, think or say affects your path so be aware of the details. The last of the steps is to stay focused on the desired result. This of course is not as easy as it sounds because as you move through life things change. You may have desired one thing after the surgery and something totally different a year down the road. This is the reason for the constant assessment.

The last step would then be to stay focused on the ultimate goal while taking actions in that direction and honoring smaller desires as they come up. Once you are living the healthy life you desire, new desires replace the successes, just don’t forget to celebrate the successes and enjoy the journey!

Love and The Art of Divorce

by Sequoia Elisabeth

I am reposting my blogs centered around Love at this time of Valentine’s Day. May Love be with you always and all ways!

Relationships can be easy, difficult, painful, joyful, and essential. The one thing they cannot be is avoided. It is in our nature to love and care for others. If you will remember we talked before about the nature of all relationships being with the One, Holy Spirit, God. The ego mind tries to create the illusion of separation and thus comes the pain and difficulty we have with relationships.

Marriage is basically an acknowledgement of the oneness that exists always. Two people who are attracted decide to share in the journey of love. They make a commitment to stand beside each other no matter what and to share all that each has to offer. This is done in the presence of God, because God is all there is! So whether the ceremony is conducted in a church, court house, or park Spirit is present and witnesses this bond.

The nature of the world you live in is ego mind. Separation is being thrown at you at every turn, so it is little wonder that not all marriages last. The rules people impose on each other are contrary to our nature as animals and as Spiritual Beings. Monogamous, heterosexual, relationships with biological family must be the lifestyle! Really?

I am here to remind you that the rules are simply made up and can be changed. There is no right or wrong in life, only what feels joyful or not. When you surrender to the flow of Spirit you are guided on the path intended before you embarked on this human adventure. Love is the way!

Sometimes marriages do not last and that is OK. There is no rule that says you must take only one partner per lifetime. You decide what is right for you! Divorce does not have to be ugly.

Marriage is two people looking in the same direction, sharing common goals. If that changes then divorce can be the best choice. While this needs to be considered deeply once the decision is made mutually, moving on can be as easy as walking away. Love does not have to be abandoned! Just because two people divorce does not mean they stop loving each other. It only means their paths are heading in different directions.

I encourage you to take your time and keep love by your side always and all ways. This means that you love everyone in your life whether you know them or not. Do not leave your partner in anger or frustration. Instead stay long enough to work through your feelings. What you give, you receive. Keep this in mind as you decide how you will approach divorce. Marriage is a 50/50 arrangement so when it comes to dividing that, keep it as equal as possible. Attachment is the root to all pain and suffering and the more you insist (resist) the worse it will be.

When the right (for you) decision is being made things will flow and fall into place without struggle. Pain is natural (because you are releasing an attachment) so do not focus on this, but instead focus on the possibilities to fulfill your purpose here on earth. Love is your nature, so just be yourself and love will flow whether you are divorcing or marrying!

A Cashless Society

by Sequoia Elisabeth

What is it that you really desire, the money or the rewards afforded by money? Is it the gratification you get from quality food, enjoyable entertainment, engaging creative efforts and the simply joy of living? The bottom line here is that money is the middle man and does not need to exist. It was created as a limitation by people who desired power and operates on a system of inequality. Isn’t it time we grew up and realized the true pleasures in life?

A certain level of maturity is demanded by a cashless society, and there is no reason we cannot attain this level right now. 2011 can be the year we gave up money! A year we claimed our true freedom and forgave all debts. Wiped the slate clean and started over. What do we need to release to make this a reality?

A few fundamental systems in our present society need to go. Anything that is ego based such as religion, politics, government, and any organization would need to be disbanded. The reason for this is that every organization is self serving, be it a church, hospital, bank or municipality. I am not promoting an every man for himself society, far from it. I am instead promoting a society that is woven together by its very existence; a society that operates on Love, kindness and good will.

The result of a disbanding of this magnitude would be like taking a bag of magnets and emptying it out on a table of iron shavings. Each magnet would create a hub of shavings around it. This is the form for our new society. Each hub would freely exchange materials between them and would operate at a level of conscious maturity where each part was aware of the others and flowed in an intelligent manner for the benefit of all. Such a force exists right now, it is called Universal Consciousness and flows through every person, animal and thing in existence. Some call this force God, however it really does not matter what you call it, only that you realize it is here and it makes up your being!

Fear is beside the point at this stage of the game. Look around you! It is happening as you read this…. We are making the shift! Does this mean that you run out and cash in all your savings? No. It means that you wake up and tune in to what is happening around you and prepare for it. This is where Maturity comes in. Your actions must be from Love, because if they come from fear the result will be most unpleasant. Destruction of the old systems can be efficient, methodical and intentional or they can be haphazard, disorganized and unconscious. We have seen the effect of the latter many times in our evolution. How about trying this the other way!?!

There is a new movie out that goes into this subject at length and does a great job of explaining why this is happening now and offers a solution that is very feasible with the technology and level of advancement we have right now! Take a few hours (2:41:21) out of your busy schedule to check it out and share with all those you Love (hopefully everyone).

Socialization

by Sequoia Elisabeth

The holiday period between Thanksgiving and New Years is a social time of year that some people dread. Why would they dread this joyous time you ask? Social interaction is something that all humans need to survive. We are social animals! This need can be difficult to meet when you feel like an outsider or if you feel like you do not belong. Finding your place in the world can sometimes be a life long journey, and it is worth pursuing. We all have a reason for being and finding that can be one of the most satisfying things you can do in your lifetime.

This season, why not get out and meet some new people, go to a new church, attend a new group, take a class in decorating, or whatever it is that you enjoy doing. The important thing is that you are with others. Before you go out though, do some reflective work with how you feel about yourself.

The journey begins within your own heart, not out in the world. Those who look outside themselves for answers, go without. Upon inner reflection and getting comfortable with yourself you can begin to explore the outer world. Just because you are going through some motions like going to school, going to work, and doing activities does not mean you are exploring. So what do I mean? I mean for you to discover who you are and share that with the world. Once you have found the acceptance within your heart then you will find it in the world.

I like to think of my life as a rose bud unfolding, revealing its inner beauty. So now that you have decided to share yourself with others get out there and re-member. Join groups that interest you and give your all. Keep the groups limited to a few that you are passionate about and become passionate about them. Volunteer in the community, be active, and most importantly do this from authenticity. This means, be honest with yourself about who you are and share that even if it is non-conforming. It does not mean that you try to be different, it means that you be yourself without concern that you will be accepted, because you have accepted yourself!

Once you have accepted yourself all else is gravy! If someone objects or questions who you are that is fine, because what they think of you is none of your business. Objections and resistance from the outer world is simply a sign that you have more inner work to do. Do not waste your time attempting to change them, instead go within and change your own heart. You will be amazed at the reception you get from the outer world when your inner heart is healed!
