So Much Hope

There is such great hope!  We are the ones we have been waiting for and we are doing it!  I spent last weekend in Los Angeles with graduates of the Agents of Conscious Evolution course.  Barbara Marx Hubbard (creator of the course), Stephen Dinan and Deva Haley Mitchell (co-founders of the Shift Network that presents the course and offered this weekend for free), Patricia Ellsberg (Barbara’s sister and co-creator of the Ego to Essence course), Victoria Friedman (co-creator of Vistar Evolutionary Circles) and 150 others from all over the U.S. and eight other countries (including a woman from Iran) gathered together without knowing the agenda.  We all knew we wanted to be part of the synergy that would happen with so many conscious people gathered together under the leadership of Barbara.  We were so not disappointed!             

Although the main theme of this writing is Conscious Evolution, it touches all areas of life.  For instance, there were a dozen of us who met to share and co-create solutions/programs/support for Today’s Kids.  To name just a few, there is a Global Network of Healing Centers for children coordinated by Cedars-Sinai; programs in California—one called Sparks and Leaps that teaches parents and children how to turn challenges into celebrations, and one teaching pre-teens imaginary journeys to learn to find and trust their inner voice; a program in Mexico called Save the Children that provides parent/teacher support and a manual to give the children of poverty what they need to thrive; a filmmaker from Hollywood creating short videos to inspire pre-teens and teens with stories and rites of passage other than the darkness of the Twilight series, etc.; and more. 

There were leaders from around the world who are on the edge of creating whole new currency and economic systems; Australian and U.S. women creating and building sustainable cooperative communities(there were about ten percent men there—we need you, guys); artists and musicians creating art that leads us into the new ways of thinking needed to transform our cultures; successful  international media, public relations and entertainment world people who are impacting the messages sent to the public; political leaders and grassroots organizers focused on bringing about Syn-Cons (synergistic connections) to transform democracy; many people actively working in countries throughout the world to end the causes of poverty and war (like Project LIGHT Rwanda); spiritual leaders; healers (traditional medical and alternative); scientists; attorneys and those working in restorative justice; computer communication wizards; and many whose talent is to hold the energy of hope, love and Oneness.

I wish to share the profound impact of this weekend because we can all create the same in our local communities, and I believe it is essential that we do.  The “resonant field” that was created by all of us moving into and holding the energy of our deepest Essence (Soul-Center, Spirit, God-Center, Universal Self—whatever you call it) was powerful beyond words.  It supported and supports us as we go out into our individual lives with the commitment to make a difference.  We make a difference by knowing we can, by practicing being in our “purest” Essence, by being open to all the synchronicities that allow us to co-create, and by offering whatever our personal gifts are to the greater good of our communities, humanity and our planet.  It is time to find one another, to allow ourselves to think BIG, to know deep within that we can create the world we hope for—and we are!
