We have decided that it is time to take some action. We are now working
on building a platform which represents our views, and encouraging ever
other organisation or group to co-operate together from a single platform,
as well as continuing with our individual activities.
Just imagine how the world could be changed if there was one central
source of information, from which people could access all that they need
to know to generate action.
Just imagine the possibilities of generating a co-operative platform
for large and small groups.
I envisage a database which contains current material, and accesses
other databases for historical data. If, say as an environmental awareness
organisation, we were able to link local environmental groups with global
groups we would have a chance of allowing the average man in the street
to be informed about his own life expectancy. If groups such as Greenpeace,
Amnesty International, NORML, Spirit, combined with independent scientific
organisations there would be a database of honest and accurate data
on the environmental emergency, and the secrets which have been kept in
order to maintain control of the individual's freedom.
We would be happy to join with and contribute to any such organisation,
but we would like to confirm that our stance is that of peaceful activist.
Whilst we see the logic of the Ghandian approach, which allows damage to
properties as long as no harm comes to any being or animal, we prefer to
see activism more in the form of knowledge passing, in the quest for a
raised consciousness which abhors the activities of the material world.
Most of us are aware of the ridiculous way in which we destroy the
environment and each other in the name of profit and greed. But many of
us are not aware of what we as an individual can do to counteract our self-destruction.
I for one, would like to know more about the effects on the environment
when I start my car engine, or switch on my refrigerator, or condition
the temperature of my house.
To this end, and to attempt to raise awareness, we have distributed
a draft idea for a New Game. We would be grateful for comments on improvement,
and assistance in world wide distribution when complete. We would be grateful
if you, as a member of the Robin Hood Cooperation, would volunteer to be
an area representative. A couple of hours per week is probably all that
is necessary. But before you make any on-going commitment on your time,
no matter how small or large, it is important that we all agree with what
we are trying to do.
We are working on the traditional 4 phases of learning:-
Phase 1 Unconscious Incompetence
Phase 2 Conscious Incompetence
Phase 3 Conscious Competence
Phase 4 Unconscious Competence
We feel that the general public are currently in phase 1 in terms of environmental and spiritual considerations, and our task is fistly to assist the movement towards conscious incompetence, <Phase 2>. We must walk before we can run. We hope through these pages to make some contribution to that effort by increasing the levels of awareness and co-operation.
We can help ourselves to be in control of ourselves by being mindful
of our breathing. Last month we covered the fundamentals of rhythmic breathing.
We now move on to receive the benefits of relaxation.
If we use the 8/4 breathing method, we can envisage each "in" breath
as a form of energy input, and each exhalation as a way of removing used
and toxic energy.
We move slowly through our body from toes to crown.
On the first conscious inhalation, we imagine new energy being collected
and stored in our solar plexus. We pause for a count of 4 and sense the
storehouse of energy. Then, as we exhale for a count of 8, we feel the
old energy and stress being pushed from our toes out of the base of our
feet. We move upwards through our body on each exhalation, placing our
mind and resultant new energy and relaxation in each part of our body,
and expelling the used and stressful energy.
By the time we have reached our crown, we will be in a relaxed situation.
If we are tired, we will probably fall asleep. If we are not tired, then
we maintain the consciousness for meditation. The rest then follows
naturally.
We will discuss this further next month.
If we relate ourselves in any way to some sort of higher being or power,
and science cannot prove or disprove the existence of a higher power, then
does a higher power exist or not.
Let's consider the two alternatives, using only simple basic information
which every human is already aware of. Let's work out for ourselves whether
there is a higher power or not. Because if there is not, we can save ourselves
a considerable amount of concern, suffering pain, and time. We need spend
no further time studying all of those things which fall under the generalised
heading of para-normal. I don't like technical terms like that so I
will use the terms normal and not normal. And just in order to keep the
institutions happy, I will define my terms of normal and not normal, and
then we can get on with the story. Normal is what the general public thinks
is normal, and what appears in the popular press and on the news, and is
taught in schools, and probably has laws about it, and even government
departments. Not normal is what the general public does not think is normal,
does not appear in the popular press or on the news, is not taught in schools,
has no laws about it, and the government departments are kept secret.
The problem that I have is trying to get the normal and not normal into
perspective. If I disagree with something which others agree to be normal,
does that make me not normal. And if it does, surely that makes many people
not normal. Not everybody agrees with everything which is normal. That
makes not everybody normal. So lets take the remaining ones. If they agree
with normal, conform to normal and be normal, then they are normal.
I tried to take my definitions further, to come up with a set of rules
or guidelines or indicators that all normal people would agree with. I
then realised that it is not possible to get all people of any sized group
to agree one hundred percent on everything, and suddenly I realised that
not one single salient being on this planet is normal.
Having realised that I was not the only person in the world that was
not normal, I felt an enormous load fall from my shoulders. It meant that
I could stop spending almost all of my social life trying to remember my
manners, and trying not to upset that funny bloke in the corner by doing
something which they considered not normal.
I listened to my friends discussing various aspects of spirituality,
Ufos, governments what have you, and they were all arguing for what they
saw as the best approach to being normal, either now or in the future.
So everybody in every discussion I have ever had who has represented the
normal point of view, has in fact been wrong. Because there is no normal.
As soon as we are able to really understand and believe that everybody
and everything is in some way or form unique, then we can understand that
nothing is normal. What is normal is the pictorial average of all of the
extremes. We have spent our whole lives relating to this pictorial average
as if it was something real.
If half the country have 1, and half the country have 3, we decide
it is normal to have 2. But nobody has two, so how can that be normal?
So, we realise that not only are we not normal, but nobody else is
either. I once met a man who considered himself to be one hundred percent
normal. But then he changed his mind.
And then after a while, I suddenly realised how much time I had spent
agonising over decisions, which should have been easy. Every time I wanted
to do something that I considered not normal, I had this sort of guilt
feeling that people would not like me if I did it, because it was not normal.
And then I realised that I could simplify my decision making processes
by rejected all considerations which related to normality, and to just
examine the bare facts. In most cases, there is no decision to be made.
There is only one obvious answer, but only if you can forget normal. And
if you can completely forget normal, and take everything at face value,
without comparing to a norm, then your life will become much simpler and
far more enriching. So, lets take a toast to the abnormal people.. And
anyone who insists that they are normal must be incarcerated in a lunatic
asylum!
"Just over a year ago I had two heart attacks and ended up with a severe
blockage in my right leg.- I could not drive, couldn't walk any more than
1/2 block, dance, or even play snooker or pool.
I became very depressed and all stressed out. I felt my life
was over.
Four months ago I began taking all 5 sprays. I can now walk a
fair
distance, dance (even a polka), am not depressed or all stressed out
and am
enjoying life once again. I feel that these sprays have given
me a new
life. My cholesterol and blood pressure have gone down and stabilized

Bluemoon, this is a possible mutation affect but it is also the affect
of
the affects of electro-magnetic fields on the human body.. this is
especially true since last June when Mammoth began to show new signs
of
activity not matched since 1980... except for a short time in 91..
Now we have had two 5.1+ tremor events in the last 4 days in the Southeast
Sierras and the people are responding to this activity, there are temple
to temple
headaches along with some back of head pain, left side, and there are
ears
popping and right ribs hurting as well as pain on or just below the
right or
left shoulder blade, and lets not forget the right knee pain..
Jabby/pinching heart pain is another symptom that i am hearing
about from
others who are contacting me. These are all (as far as
I am concerned) the
reaction to what mother earth is dishing out.
If you see yourself in these symptoms you be the judge of what is causing
those symptoms.
Now we have activity confirmed on or near at least a dozen peaks in
the
world including in the last month activity at or on the slopes of St.
Helens, Mt. Hood, Mt. Rainier, Mt Shasta, Mt Mcloughlin and Etna and
Kilauea
as well as Popo and Indonesian Volcanoes in Java and Jakarta... not
to
mention the off shore activity at the new axial seamount on the
central/northern Oregon coast. Not since 1980 when St. Helens awoke
have we
had such a impressive lists of peaks who are beginning to awaken again...
