So what happens?

Well in an absolutely horrid take on old world indoctrination Cameron pushes the button (i.e. eats the apple, gives into temptation) and then watches her life spiral out of control. Her husband is shown three doorways and must choose the right one or suffer eternal damnation, her son is abducted and his ability to see and hear is cruelly and heartlessly taken from him by the “higher powers” in the film. Then, in one of the most pathetically executed endings I’ve ever seen, the serpent returns and tells Cameron she must be shot in the heart and killed by her loving husband if her son is ever going to be whole again.

And why?

Well, it is a test of our horrible, weak, stupid, human  moral fiber and because we failed, now we must bear the horrible consequences!

I suppose that the masons or whatever little boys network is behind this film expect us to be nodding our heads in agreement with the old world theology that oozes out of the pours of this film like a cancerous plague. All the shit and abuse that this  family endures, all the moralistic judgment and forced choices, the death, the suffering, the child abduction, the mental control, the abuse of power, is all OK. Heck, it’s all their fault (or rather the female’s fault) for pushing the button and giving into temptation. After a decade or two of subtle, and not so subtle indoctrination, we are expected to accept the horseshit. And of course, many of us do, no doubt nodding our heads in amused agreement with the dogmatic morality and justifications of the film.It is OK for some stranger to offer a struggling family a million dollars and then engage in moralistic judgment when they, surprise surprise, take the money. It is OK to kidnap somebody’s son, or manipulate a husband into killing his wife and leaving his son without a mother. It is OK to engage in ongoing “testing” in some “I-can’t-even-think-to-describe-the-stupidity-of-it” moral experiment where the women always fails “the test” and pushes the button (i.e. gives into temptation) and then always suffers a horrible and heartless (literally) end, shot in in the heart by their loving husbands (and ya, in the movie, it is the women we see pushing the button and leading their family into ruin).

But you know what, we don’t buy it. In fact, we’re going to come out and say it. It is $%#^& awful. In fact, the message of the film sucks at so many levels it is hard to know where to begin. How dare the producers, and the actors send us and our children this message? How dare they justify kidnapping and abuse? How dare they excuse manipulation and murder? How dare they suggest that a morally superior [alien] race (a “higher power”) has the right to experiment on us, and judge us, and condemn us.

How dare they?

Are they trying to scare us away from first contact by suggesting our friends “up there” are really our judge, jury, and executioner.

Are they trying to reinforce the self-esteem crushing morality of the Catholic church?

Is there some kind of closest Nazism going on here because frankly, experimenting on people without their consent is just wrong, wrong, wrong and anybody, any director or writer, that suggests otherwise, or that (worse still), provides a spiritual justification for that kind of abuse is, if you ask me, blowing it out their arses, or worse.

I mean I ask you, how sick and twisted is it to force a father and husband to make a choice between shooting his wife in the heart, and seeing his son healthy and whole? How sick is it to blind an innocent child? How pathetic to engage in mind control. There is no moral ambiguity here. It is an abuse of power pure and simple–distorted and psychopathic. Honestly, there is nothing cool about that shit and frankly it is sick to present such a thing as if it is “divinely cool” as they did in the film.

Sigh.

You know, it is going to be a while for Hollywood stops blowing this putrid crap out of their glitzy mind control orifices but maybe we can reach the actors on this. Maybe our earth bound blue bloods, the Cameron Diaz’s and James Marsden’s and Frank Langella’s of the world, who clearly don’t need the money, can consult with their conscience (as the serpent said in the film) and instead of pushing the red button, abducting and mutilating the children, and absconding with the cash, can do the right thing for once and say no to crap like this.

I mean, it’s not rocket science.

Even a Hollywood actor should know.

It’s not OK to experiment on people.

It’s not OK to threaten them with damnation.

It’s not OK to kidnap and blind their children.

It’s not OK to get people who love each other to shoot each other.

I mean, if you want to talk in terms of old world spirituality, good and evil, right and wrong, it is these things that are clearly evil.Just because you wrap the perpetrators of these crimes in mystical, technological garb and pretend they are better than us doesn’t make it OK. In fact, exactly the opposite. If they are superior to the morally bankrupt and weak human females, then they should know better. Rather than justifying their Machiavellian experimentation and sick voyeurism, they should lead by example. That’s what the evolved and enlightened ones do, don’t ya know.

Finally, I think it is important to highlight one final aspect of this film and that is the a subtle and terrifying undercurrent of misogyny (i.e. women hating).You watch the movie with eyes wide open you’ll see it. The message of the film is very clear. It is the females of the species who are weak. It is the females who are confronted by the serpent and temptation and it is the weak females who are the cause of all the bad things that happen. By their weakness and failure, they ruin the lives of everybody and, in the end, may even be responsible for the destruction of the human race! When you think about it, that’s some pretty heavy negativity directed towards females but what is most terrifying about all this is what we do to the females who give into temptation. The consequences of their moral failure is clear, and even divinely sanctioned! Shot in the heart and cast out into the darkness. By the hands of the ones they love they shall be murdered for their sins.

Do  you think you’re special?
Did ya say you wanna?
Play a little savior for a while~

Talk about some love.
Tell us of the hour.
Show us that it’s you that knows the way.

Drink the power that is offered.
See the money in the coffers.
You’ll sell the people to the highest who will pay

But you should listen, sleeping prophet
Times have changed, no longer suffer’t
Yet I fear you will not listen on this day.

But should you fail to heed the calling
Soon shall the angel come a knocking
And two coins will see you through, ankers away.

We don’t make any secret that we are very spiritual people. This is not in the traditional sense of course. In our humble opinion traditional religions and traditional spirituality are quite oppressive. They usually come with some statements intended to diminish you (like you’re a dummy for eating the apple, your evil and need to be punished, you’re too stupid to live your life right and universal karma is going to get you for it), they often threaten you (i.e. you’ll go to hell, have bad karma, be “extinguished”) if you don’t do what you are told, and oftentimes pass right into the arena of physical (spare the rod…) and psychological abuse (threatening to burn somebody for an eternity simply for making a few mistakes is the definition of psychological abuse!). The message of old world spirituality is clear, you’re a dumb shit and you need to learn your lessons before you graduate and move on and if that means you have to suffer, live in poverty, endure war and hardship, then so be it. That’s the way “God” organized it.

It is not true of course, but that’s what we are told. The truth is God is all about love and compassion and you simply don’t wish suffering and eternal torment on people you love.

Are you are parent?

Can you imagine the level of psychological dysfunction that would involved burning your child alive?

And we believe that God would do that?

If you think about it, that’s just abusive. Take any child on this earth and shove its hands into fire and see how long you stay out of jail.   It is any wonder that God and Spirit have such a bad name? In the name of consciousness and Spirit all manner of horseshit has been justified and excused.

So what are we doing about it? Well, we are creating a new spirituality that holds true to the high truths of creation, and that doesn’t threaten, cajole, and treat us like children but acknowledges who we are and how long we’ve been around.  One of the outcomes of this work is a couple of children’s books that I  (Michael) wrote (published under the pen name Michael Sharp).  They are both titled off our two younger children, Vayda and Tristan, and they both have what we would call a “new world spirituality” about them. The message in these books, in a language and grammar designed specifically for children, isn’t about karma or punishment or the need to bear burdens’ and suffering, as so many old world religions will tell you, but about the glorious light within and our God given right to live in prosperity and comfort.  The message in both is clear, you are divine light manifested in the physical world (you are God’s incarnation) and you deserve nothing but peace, prosperity, love, and kindness. You can contrast this message with the message of old world religions and decide for yourself which one you’d rather send to your children.

If you want, you can download the PDFs for the books below.  If you like the books and want to support this family and our work, order copies for the children in your life. Take a stand against the imposition of old world dogma and fight back against attempts to control the minds of our innocent children! Read them once, read them often. They are available for purchase at amazon.com and from our personal webstore. Links provided below.

As a side note, Vayda Jayne Bean, which is a book about our light and divinity, currently comes in two flavors, chocolate and vanilla. This publication strategy  allows you to purchase the version suitable for your ethnic background. Given the importance of the message in Vayda Jayne Bean, the alternate flavours allow your child to seem themselves in the story which is very important.  Chile Pepper (Spanish), Curry (East Indian) and other flavors on the way.  For more details on available flavours visit our online store.

Ode to 2012

2012, 2012
Mystical 2012
12, 012, 2012
End of the world?

2012, 2012,
Magical 2012?
2012, 12 and 12
Consciousness swirl?

2012, 2012
Madness is 2012
12, 12, and 2012
Hollywood hurls.

2012, 2012,
Tired old 2012,
Priests, Prophets, Pundits,
Give anus the whirl.

2012, 2012,
Beguile them, 2012
Red, black, and yellow
Beat their drums to the wind

2012,2012,
Fear rises 2012,
John Cusack, 2012?
Had respect once for him.

2012, 2012
What happens 2012?
Priests profit money,
And authors, they win.

Books will be printed
And conferences called
And the bandwagon rolled out,
To profit from fall.

They’ll frighten the children,
And minds they’ll unhinge,
And fear will they fester,
This lunatic fringe

Waves their balls in the air,
And with peacock like flair
Declare this thing or that,
And you’d better prepare.

But 2012, 2012,
A big joke is 2012
A sign for discernment,
A clue in the wind.

You see someone preach 2012?
Their discernment is on the shelf.
For we know by their “knowing”,
They are filled up with sin .

For no God in the heaven,
Or Spirit in Earth,
Or ancient space traveler,
Or trickster of worth

Would preach ultimatum,
Or say “ending is near,”
Or threaten the children,
Or sow ‘round deep fear.

So instead I cry welcome,
And say what it’s for,
Tell you look to the future,
And consider this more.

2012 is but nothing,
A spot on the wall,
A point in creation,
Unrelated to all.

A inkblot,
A Rorschach,
A tool, nothing more.
It reveals what is inside,
Just like opening a door.

It says “here there is fear,”
And “there there is anger,”
And in him is much “pain”
For all childhood’s lost laughter.

And there, he is greedy.
And she likes the power,
That comes from one knowing
“The time and the hour.”

So when priest, profit, pundit preaches end from the rafter
Don’t jump onto the wagon,
Don’t start preaching hereafter.

Just smile and nod knowing,
Let this truth fill your brain.
2012?
It’s not nothing but a diverging lane.

But what is it?

What is the deeper meaning and the higher purpose of crushed skulls and broken bones?

Well, different people have different opinions. Some of the more evangelical prophets will find some way to blame the victims. On our forums we’ve heard people say it’s “god’s punishment for Satanic pacts” (as if an infant can make a satanic pact) or even that Gaia herself has “targeted” the Haitians because she “doesn’t like” their practice of Voodoo. What’s more, this is just one of the first of many “targets” where the unworthy and vile amongst us will be purified of the face off the earth. Of course, it’s a load of horseshit really. The idea that God or Gaia (father or mother) would simply bash infants and children to death with stones is beyond comprehension.

It’s bizarre when you think about it and frankly, anybody who thinks that is, at the very least, not thinking through the implications of what they are saying and possibly has some kind of personality disorder.

I mean think about it.

If someone came up to you and said they were contemplating bashing the skulls of a few hundred people because they practiced voodoo, or made some kind of pact with the devil, you’d be phoning both the police and the psychiatrists without delay.  In a human, statements to that effect would be considered pathological and disordered correct?

Correct.

Now ask yourself, why is it ok for somebody to attribute a murderous pathology to God or Gaia?

Why is projecting bizarre fantasies of gruesome punishment and death onto some cosmic father and mother figure ok?

When you think about it like this the answer is quite clear. It is not ok. To suggest that God or Gaia are pathological cosmic figures willy-nilly bashing the skulls of innocent children into mush just because they don’t’ like them is just as pathological and twisted as if you were saying it about yourself, or a friend.

And besides, it’s not true. Speaking as spiritual author with a well developed connection to The Fabric of Consciousness (as I first called it in my The Book of Light), I can tell you with absolute certainty that neither Gaia or God (father or mother) go around wacking their children because they practice voodoo or made some pact with Satan. These are human constructs and the failings of human parents (and abusive spiritual figures) and frankly, when our so called spiritual teachers start projecting these failings onto cosmic entities, we need to start asking some serious questions about the psychological health of our so called ‘teachers.’

In any case, I’m probably speaking to the choir here. Most people will see the lunacy of explanations like those above. But sadly these aren’t the only weird explanations we are hearing. There are more subtle and insidious ways of blaming the victims for their own suffering that are even more “socially acceptable” than the bizarre pathologies named above.

Consider this. One spiritual author writes:

The events that are taking place in Haiti are part of this necessary purging process. This catastrophic event occurred in Divine Timing. On December 31, 2009, we experienced one of the most powerful Full Moon Lunar Eclipses we have ever encountered. The influx of Light from this Eclipse blessed the planet with powerful frequencies of healing and transformation. We were told by the Beings of Light that this Light would increase daily and hourly until the New Moon Solar Eclipse, which would take place January 14-15, 2010. The influx of Light from that Eclipse would empower all of the patterns of perfection for the New Earth and catapult this planet forward in the Light, thus paving the way for the physical manifestation of the New Earth.

On January 12, 2010, Haiti had the most devastating earthquake she had ever experience. This tragedy instantly drew the attention of the world to the most downtrodden and needy people in the western hemisphere. In the midst of the chaos Humanity opened our hearts and reached out to our sisters and brothers. Our differences became irrelevant and the Oneness of Life began to register in the hearts and minds of the masses of Humanity in profound ways. The love and compassion we developed when we witnessed the pain and suffering of our sisters and brothers softened our hearts and allowed more of God’s Love and Healing Light to flow into the Earth.

Or how about the words of another.

A brief note on Haiti: The massive earthquake that occurred in Haiti this week created a monumental heart opening for the planet. The pain, suffering, and tragic loss it created opened our hearts and shifted the planet, pushing it into the heart space that it will be now operating from. These beautiful and giving souls who agreed at their soul levels to be a part of this experience, have served this planet in ways unseen for a very long time. As it was time at many of their soul levels to depart, they agreed to depart in a way that would serve the planet and take it to its new and higher level. Haiti will become a very sacred space, as it already has, and this event will be remembered for a very long time. It was a part of our very new beginning, and a part that will change the vibration and direction of our new world as well. These brave, unbelievably loving and precious souls, have given to this planet more than we could ever know. They have assisted in shifting the planet into its very new way of being that involves coming from the heart, and the honor and reverence I feel for them and the many other souls involved, goes beyond words.

Notice the pattern here? According to these spiritual teachers, the people, the children, and the babies of Haiti actually agreed to have their homes destroyed, their parents and families killed, and their skulls bashed in.

And why?

So the rest of the worldcan have their “heart chakras” opened up.

Wow!!

It’s all part of the “divine plan.”

Gaia smashed those children because it is going to help you feel compassion.

God rained death and destruction because they offered themselves up so that the rest of the world could evolve.

Of course, if you know anything about the history of Haiti you will know that the people of that country have been “offering themselves up” for centuries through enslavement, colonial exploitation, and the financial thievery of developed nations.  It’s true, you can look it up online. But apparently that’s not enough.  Centuries of sacrifice and suffering just doesn’t cut it. Now they have to do even more just to help out the people who have heartlessly been exploiting them for so many centuries.

Now if you’re recognizing the absurdity of this whole line of thinking (i.e. that the people of Haiti agreed to the devastation just so others could become spiritually and emotionally well) then great because they are absurd, callous, politically naive, spiritually uninformed, and scientifically ridiculous, not to mention absolutely selfish and uncaring.

I mean, come on.

You don’t open one person’s heart chakra by brutally killing another person in front of them. That’s just so absurd as to be beyond comment.

Who thinks like that?

What kind of person casts an eye on 200,000 dead bodies and says, “oh cool, that’s great.”

“They got exactly what they wanted.”

???

Better question, how arrogant is it for somebody miles away from the horror, sitting comfortably in front of an expensive computer, to suggest such a thing. Talk about cosmic presumption and putting words into people’s mouth.

Maybe we should ask the survivors if they agree?

Do they feel that they made a choice to see their children crushed?

Are they happy sacrificing themselves so others can open their heart chakras ?

How do they feel about the whole idea?

Now I know you  may not like hearing all this stuff, but tough. The truth is, there is no deeper meaning to the earth quake in Haiti. Earth has tectonic plates and these plates are in constant motion. These plates rub up against each other and periodically the pressure of this friction is released in violent earthquakes. These random events are the result of plate tectonics and are one of the risks of manifesting on this planet. It’s not punishment, it’ s not purification, these people did not sacrifice themselves, and there are no profound “lessons” to be learned. It’s just a bad accident and that’s the end of the story.

And if there is a lesson to be learned here it is that inequality and poverty (caused by centuries of colonial exploitation) kills. If that same earthquake hit in LA, or Japan, or any of the other wealthier countries of this world, the number of injured and dead would have numbered in the hundreds (maybe even tens) and not hundreds of thousands. The fact of the matter is, people died in Haiti because they are too poor to build adequate shelters and the “higher truth” of that is they are poor because of the legacy of french colonial exploitation.

And as for “deeper meanings,” ask yourself why we look for those. If you ask me, the search for a “deeper meaning” is usually nothing more than an attempt to excuse and absolve ourselves of responsibility.

Think about it.

Whenever we look for a deeper meaning, we are basically saying some event had a purpose and was outside our control. There was a reason and when we accept that reason, then we can feel better. Of course, in a few cases that might be true, but in most cases it’s not. Sure accidents happen, but in this 21st century world we know how to reduce and even eliminate most of them. We know how to build earthquake resistant shelters, we have the money (collectively) to do it, we know we have treated countries like Haiti unfairly, and the right thing to do is obvious and clear. Anticipate natural disasters (because they will continue to happen) and build the people of this world safe homes.  We can choose to ignore the Truth of this if we like. We can choose to find “deeper meaning” (which as you can see is really just a euphemism for “it’s not my responsibility”) or we can wake up and do the right thing (which, incidentally, goes beyond a few stars giving a few hours for a one time relief effort just so they can feel better about their wealth and their (our) sweatshop produced goods–we need systemic change here).

In the end it’s a choice we all have to make.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090624/ap_on_re_as/as_koreas_nuclear_911

Now here’s a country with honest to God Weapons of Mass Destruction, with an honest to God stated intent to use them, and I’m wondering why the mainstream media is focussed on a dead pedophile to the exclusion of what could be the lead up to the biggest series of stories since the end of WWII.

North Korea has said that any attempt to interfere with their shipping or transport will be considered an act of war.

North Korea has threatened to wipe the US off the map.

I seems obvious to me, North Korea is building up to war.

And I said it months in my Black October podcast, it looks like the rest of the world is preparing as well. Why else transfer trillions of dollars of public funds into the hands of private bankers, as Bush did last year when he triggered the economic recession we are all currently struggling with, if not to prepare a cash flow to fund a global war? And let’s not mention all the awesome training the troops have been getting in Iraq, a conflict we all know was based on lie after lie after damned bloody lie. It seems to me that everything is in place now for what will probably be the biggest conflict this world has ever seen And what’s most sickening about it to me is, the evidence that it is being orchestrated is right in front of our eyes. Yet nobody sees. Everybody is distracted by “light ships” and Ashtar and dead pedophiles and The Family Guy, and falling stocks and all the while the people that run this world are bringing us, step by step, towards a ugly and deadly global conflict.

“Everything happens for a reason,” I here the spiritual pundits proclaim.

What do you say to that, I wonder?

How do you respond?

What do you do?

Well, I’ll be honest with you, whatever you do you better do it quick because if you ask me, we’ve only got a couple more years, maybe three or four, before the PTB plunge this world into a bloody global conflict, so you need to do something.

And what are you going to do?

Well, I said it way back in 2002 when I wrote the Great Invocation meditation (which is part of my book Dossier of the Ascension), and I’ve been saying it ever since.

You need to wake up, activate, and say no to nuclear destruction.

Or not.

It’s your choice.

If you don’t want to do anything, that’s fine.

If you want to keep pretending that some golden age is right around the corner while people suffer and die all around you, what else can I say except, you’ve been warned. But if you do want to do something then all I can say is, wakey wakey.

It’s time to wake up.

I Am Michael Sharp

Welcome Home

http://www.michaelsharp.org

I mean think about it.

A couple years ago some yoyo+friends decided to put together a DVD telling the world how all you have to do is stay passive, positive, and “attract” and the universe, which doesn’t deal in negatives (tell that to all those people losing their homes), will send you what you want.  It’s that easy, said the man who was almost crying at the thought of how he had “attracted,” via a vision board, his multi-million dollar California mansion.

Now, fast forward a few years and the globe is in economic crises. I know several people on the brink of financial collapse and the state of California is so badly off that Mr. Terminator himself has suggested legalizing marijuana as a way to cope with the catastrophic budget shortfalls.

What the heck?

I mean, if the people who did The Secret were right, shouldn’t we all be basking in a positive universal prosperity right now?

Sadly, we’re not. Oh, the bankers are a lot richer now than they were a few months ago, thanks to George Bush and all the other “public representatives,” but a lot more people are suffering now than before Bush and Obama decided to transfer all those greenbacks out of public hands and into private coffers.

Hmm.

Something’s definitely not right in the land of milk and honey.

In any case, the way I see it, there’s two possibilities here.

Either we (and by we I mean most people on this earth) don’t know how to “attract” the goods or the people who did The Secret didn’t know what they were talking about. Personally, I put my money on the second choice. After all, if they were right we shouldn’t be in global recession, period. We should have attracted our way to Shambhala, end of paragraph.

I know it’s a bit harsh but I have to admit, as a spiritual teacher myself, I’m kinda annoyed by the whole thing. Not only did they sell a bottle of snake oil, but they did more damage to the cause of spiritual awakening that you can imagine. Who, in their right mind, it going to believe anything that self styled “law of attraction” gurus say now? I bet a lot of people who bought into The Secret thinking that those folks were actually revealing some deep esoteric truth are feeling pretty silly right about now, and probably a lot of them don’t want to have anything to do with new age mumbo jumbo any more, even if they can afford the book prices.

At this point my only question is, was it planned? That is, did the people who did The Secret intentionally sell a half truth just so people would be disappointed a couple years later when Bush, as his last action in office, transferred close to a trillion dollars into the hands of his banker buddies? It’s an ongoing question for me because I believe that a lot of the “spiritual teacher” and new age gurus out there are really just government plants, people paid to do things to mislead the people and distract them from what I might like to call “authentic” spirituality.”

Well, I don’t know and frankly in this case, I don’t care. Whatever their reason for doing The Secret, the damage is done and we should just move on and begin rebuilding people’s confidence in spiritual teachings, maybe using a little more discernment.

In the meantime, if you want a sensible introduction to the economic system, the current economic crises, and what’s in store for us the next time the globe goes into recession (assuming of course the suits get us out of this one), read my Rocket Scientists Guide to Money and the Economy. If you want authentic spirituality that’s not designed to enrich a few while selling snake oil to the many, visit me at my homepage and have a look at what I have to offer.

The question is, is that what you want?

Do you believe that all the pain and suffering and death on this earth is the inevitable result of the natural, cosmological, or divine constitution of this universe?

Do you want to end your days on this earth in the sucky old world illusion of pain, duality, and suffering?

If so then all I have to say to you is, good bye.

If not, then listen up.

It’s time to wake up.

It’s time to quit playing those stupid games you play.

It’s time to quit giving energy to the illusion.

It’s time to say no more.

Repeat after me.

“I choose to create a world without  pain.”

“I choose to create a world without suffering.”

“I say no more poverty.”

“I say no more war.”

“I say, no more privilege.”

“I say, no more greed.”

“I say, no more system.”

“I say, enough is enough.”

“I say, time for this world to wake up.”
