ACT NOW! The FDA and your healing rights

http://SacredCEO.gaia.com — Thu, 19 Apr 2007 01:49:12 GMT

From: Chris Rosche <ChrisRosch@aol.com>

The United States Food and Drug Administration is attempting to take away your right to use Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) by making these practices illegal. The FDA is attempting to declare CAM “Medicine” and “Treatment” not “Modalities” and “Therapy,” therefore making them illegal since only licensed practitioners can treat. This would effectively outlaw vitamins, herbs, minerals, co-factors, etc., since they would automatically become untested drugs used to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure disease states.

We need to inform everyone we meet, including our health practitioners, colleagues, neighbors, friends, and family to let them know of this assault on our health care choices and our personal freedom. Comments will be accepted only until April 30th. After that time it will be too late. Your IMMEDIATE help is crucial !

The cause of these shocking developments, according to the Human

peace.

even though you never have to think about it. 

* Every second the sun generously transforms four million tons of itself 
into energy and bestows it on us free of charge. 

* Diamonds rain from the sky on Uranus and Neptune. 

* With every dawn, when first light penetrates the sea, many seahorse 
colonies perform a dance to the sun.

sexual intercourse, involving more than 200 million partners, take place 
on the earth every 24 hours. 

* Most HMO executives now believe prayer and meditation can expedite 
the healing process. 

* Vast supplies of frozen natural gas lie beneath the oceans, harboring 
more potential energy than all the world's oil reserves, and could be 
mined with the right technology. 

* Each of the 50 trillion cells in your body can be considered a sentient 
being in its own right, and they all act together as a community, 
performing an ongoing act of prodigious collaboration.

Hawai'i Island of Sustainability

http://SacredCEO.gaia.com — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 02:25:38 GMT

I am grateful to have this time to reflect and share with you this beautiful vision of community Health and Wellness.

The conception of Green Source Hawai'i, has come through the life experience as a loving being of earth and her peoples. Since arriving on this beautiful aina, I have had the pleasure of the introduction of the true spirit of Aloha and the culture of this beautiful island of breath, it is my honor to stand with and for Hawai'i and her peoples

On the winter solstice December 21st 2005, we (Nicole and I d.b.a. Sacred Designs) held the first community meeting in the space at 79-7401 Mamalahoa Hwy to gather local community members to discuss the creation and operation of "Lokahi Village". Our eyes were set on the acquisition of the "old Ben Franklin building" located in Kainaliu town in the mauka village south of Kailua-Kona to become the gathering space of community health and wellness. At this time, we were actively negotiating the purchase of the building for months. The goal, complete a green retrofit of the building adhering to the then current LEED standards( a set of green standards established by the United States Green Building Council). After renovation the building would then be leased to individuals with the passion to create health and wellness through community. The plan consists of a Tea House, Local market with fresh fruits, flowers and juice, community art gallery wall, local kine crafts and performance and lounge area complete with recording studio downstairs with a day spa and yoga/dance/martial arts studio upstairs.

After many negotiations and the acknowledgment of the work, money and time involved, it was time to gather the troops. We then proceeded to develop business plans, renderings of the building and creative ways of financing the remodel and purchase. Aha! A Makeover TV show! Green Extreme Community Makeover TV. A way to gather the community together, inspire movement, celebrate diversity and attract sponsorship necessary to bring attention to the importance of greening our environment. A show that inspires creativity and action in communities across the globe, a way to bring consciousness into mainstream media. Through many efforts to raise community awareness, we drew attention of very few initially, partially due to exposure as well as our preparedness of the vision.

In May of the next year, our planning had developed substantially, attracting the interest of many partnerships and alliances, who simply wanted to see the team of community members who were going to show up and make it work.   We held another meeting that May at a local zen boutique and attracted 70 or so community members(see article West Hawaii Today June, 4 2006). The buzz was created and the weeks following I continued to watch the community connections begin to occur.   We have such a diverse and culturally rich community with widely spread resources that instantly as connections are made, great and magical events begin.

With much research and financial sacrifice we continued on the quest to establish a working plan to bring the vision into reality, and part of that reality was starting small and generate and gather the team and resources in order to create the larger picture.   In October 2006 a local business owner informed us of a building coming available and she said we should check it out! 79-7412 Mamlahoa Hwy. , just south of the original building and it has the most substantial parking in town. So we start small!   We have now rented the building and with a skeleton crew have begun the necessary steps to create a smaller template of the big vision.

Due to the cicumstances of Universal order, short of a month after signing the lease, our daughter Aleia, then 10 weeks old stopped breathing, and we rushed to the hospital on November 25th 2006. We are now, almost five months later, still in San Diego where we have been receiving care for her beautiful heart. In two weeks time, we are returning to the Big Island to bring her back to her home. So, with that said, for the last five months, the Green Source Center has taken a back seat until now. We have been coordinating with the core group there holding the space and keeping things alive.

At the new year, the community gathered together to create one of the most touching events I have ever experienced, Circus Joyous. This event was created as a fundraiser for Aleia and our family as well as the culmination of one community member's dream! A success already! Children were dressed as monkeys, performing fun feats of fantasm, stilt walkers hailed in the streets, pop corn and shave ice, face painting and musicians singing from the soul. These are the events that make it all work.

The largest initial challenge for me was to accept the role as leader amongst all the community to whom I've grown so connected to. I have felt for so long that I want to see what everyone else wants and contribute my piece to the pie! While I do agree this still stands true, my piece is grand, and it is due time now that I stand, in the face of all fears of any judgments and put these visions into action.

The vision which still stands strong is to create a local hub of resources, education and economic development based on the practices of sustainability and community economic investment. One of the key elements we are addressing, is the perpetuation of the local indigenous cultures. I have seen the large scale developers and mainland businesses come to this island with a focus on attaining the maximum profit potential of the island and her visitors. What we are creating here is a community based grass-roots movement that provides the island residents with a foundation of opportunity, as well as access to the resources to build community upon. We are creating a platform that will offer the local residents avenues of distribution of their crafts, services and produce, character and brings finacial benefit in return. In addition to this feature we are also creating a rich cultural environment in which tourists can visit to experience the true community of Hawaii. In comes the Green Source Center. This building will serve as a demonstration model and staging area highlighting the need for a larger scale presence across the street in the originally sought after building. One of the exciting aspects is the exploration of creating youth-managed ventures. It is time to empower our children so that they may stand.

The Green Source Center is offering:

Main council area for small workshops, yoga classes, movie nights, open mic, talk story night, teen night, intimate concerts etc. and will be available hourly/daily by reservation at minimal cost.

Sacred Space - a healing arts room available to community members to offer their services locally

Library - A multi disciplinary resource center with information ranging from conscious capitalism, hawai'ian root culture, sustainable building practices, permaculture and spirituality.

Local Kine Crafts- small area dedicated as an avenue to local crafters to distribute their creations.

Community art wall - a small community art space with revolving shows

Juice and Tea time - walk up window, with outdoor tables to bring the local kine produce to the pallete.

Peoples Market - Sunday outdoor market hosting farmers, musicians, crafters and sustainable technology vendors. The outdoor parking lot is home to a stage for entertainment for special events at other times as well.

Recycle Collection area - Mauka collection site with proceeds to benefit Green Source and local community organizations.

The vision of Green Source, Lokahi Village and Sacred Designs is to implement sustainable methods into the infrastructure of our growing communities here on the island and within our Global Community. It is a time where it is crucial for us as a society to step up and act responsibly for the benefit of own revival as well as the future generations to come. It is our vision to provide a sustainable model to experience, learn and then take the tools back to your home and implement the knowledge within your own lifestyles. The Green Source Center will also serve as a central Preparedness Center in case of natural disaster, offering information, meeting space, shelter etc.

Among the budding markets of today, emerges the LOHAS(lifestyles of health and sustainability) market, claimed by many forecast analysts to be the biggest boom in economic history, bringing in a whopping $240 billion in 2005. This clearly demonstrates the renewed interest that we as humans are taking in the healing of our selves our communities and our earth. In Hawai'i we will lead the movement in ALOHAS (abundant lifestyles of health and sustainability). The goal of Green Source is to bring this abundance into the homes and families that have been underserved to unite the low-income with the high-income with the no-income.

The next most challenging aspect, has been the development of a business structure that recognizes the social return as well as the financial profit. We are working closely with a format that closely resembles the structure of visionary John Mackey of Whole Foods. He demonstrates how the inspiration of business is focused on community impact as well as profitability. Donating 15% of all profits directly back into the community through non profit organizations, employees and community development.

We are creating a core equity partnership exploring all forms of energetic contributions, as well as core members from the community in areas of agriculture, education, health and wellness, music and arts, economic development and cultural wisdom to form a council in which we will base our foundation.

As we create this catalyst together we will discuss amongst ourselves the benefit of "local industry" and begin generating entrepreneurial economic development within our small communities. We have farms, crafters, artists, musicians, plenty talk story, and the wisdom of the elders, now it is time to focus on our youth, sustainable industry, local culture and creating all of the resources we need to live in abundance here on the island as community.

Everyone is welcome! It is time we stand for humanity and our earth. Love thy neighbor is no longer a simple piece of advice, it is required.
It takes the children to raise the village. Let's get them involved.

Celebrating a beautiful year of life on this Planet!

http://SacredCEO.gaia.com — Thu, 05 Apr 2007 10:51:49 GMT

Blessings to you all on this magnificent day of manifestation! We are all beings creting this together and I am grateful to be amongst you all whom have gathered here. It is April the 5th 2007, and that means officially I have been alive in this current incarnation for 34 years!

This year has been monumental in ways I had not even fathomed up until this point. I suppose to some extent that is what life is all about. truly I am blessed, and honored to be sitting here at 3:35 in the morning reflecting this all here with you. Last year at this time, I was sitting on the stage by the ocean at our previous house in Hawaii celebrating and remanicsing with my father who actually shares this day of birth with me! Of course not the same year, but April the 5th. his year actually 1939 and mine 1973. Wow, the span of generations and all the places that we have come since 1939. I am so blessed to share this special day with an amazing man of this caliber.

In the year since many things have occured to offer lessons of healing the answers in which we have come to recieve. This next year to come I receive with open arms as I create the now, embracing the foundation of breath. Bringing into my life, solid relationships with my children and my beloved partner in life, maintaing a beautiful family of love and compassion. Through this beauty we are creating strength of union in all the projects and ventures we embark upon. I see the financial abundance flowing in multiple rivers providing the tools for effective social and environmental change.

I am grateful for the tools, the friends and visions experienced at Vision Force Bootcamp. Blessed I am to recieve your reflections of joy and light. We continue to stand together, strengthened by the ~i~ in each and every one of us.

I wil write more later as I am beginning to fade and realize how warm and comfortable it is in bed with Nicloe and Aleia right now. I will awake tomorrow, and play a round of golf with Nicole, Aleia and Hunter, Kaya and Irie another family from Hawaii who have experienced a very similar experience in the hospital world. After we play golf we will journey to the beach for fire and muisic. Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes> Thank you for your stand as we walk this sacred journey together. I am one with you all and my breath as I breathe deeply, grounds this prayer of health, wealth love, and prosperity. Through you all I am blessed.

Keith

GREATNESS!

http://SacredCEO.gaia.com — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 21:37:25 GMT

Greatness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world… as in being able to remake ourselves.” - Gandhi

Because the world needs you!

You’re among the few who really understand that to effectively change the world, you must, as Gandhi said, be the change you seek. That’s why, for you, being the change is not an option. You’re already on your own path to personal evolution.

But you refuse to wait for perfection or permission. You know that there will never be a perfect time to take a stand and lead the way. That’s why you’re already out there, doing what you can to change the world.

You don’t have the luxury of time. You just need simple, powerful, practical tools to be the change–and change the world. And you need them now.

So grab the tools and get to work!

The Vision Force Academy is an emerging human development organization providing next generation tools and training for visionaries and revolutionaries like you. Let’s get started!

Visionary Mind Shifts Start here by subscribing to receive powerful visionary mind shifts in your email box on a regular basis. Each shift will open a new door tothe Vision Force Matrix, gradually revealing the Visionary Mind of the Future.

Visionary Mind: Experience Your Call to Greatness VisionForce’s brand new home study course gives you a life-altering experience of the visionary mind. Use the concepts and exercises in this program to actually make the shift from the Positionary Mind of the Past to the Visionary Mind of the Future.

And only if you think you’re really “Ready”…

Vision Force Boot Camp: The iStand Experience “The most powerful experience of my life” are the words most commonly used to describe the Vision Force Boot Camp. Using Vision Force’s proprietary iStand technology, participants experience their power to love on a deeper level than ever before. So deeply do people connect with their unique values that they find a new found power stand for what matters most to them in life. The result is vision that calls them to greatness. Participants leave with skills and methods for thinking, being and communicating as visionaries in life. For the person who is up to “being the change” in today’s world, an experience of a lifetime awaits.

Stand for Peace

http://SacredCEO.gaia.com — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 21:28:59 GMT

For me you are the "I" that is creating the amazing stand for peace in the world all around. For you I am the amazing beacon of light that stands for the space of unconditional love in the face of all challenge and triumph.

I am enamoured with honor and confidence in this amazing journey that we have created here. I have just returned from Austin, TX, after attending the www.visionforce.com bootamp with 28 visionaries from four continents across the globe. The inspiration of life and the knowledge the change that is occuring as we speak is opening the hearts of millions across the globe. This past weekend, we distinguished a life of honor vs. integrity, taking a stand vs. position. The tools recieved here exceeded my grasp on the relationships that we have with everyone in life. Realizing the truth that exists in removing walls of judgement to see everyone as they stand for their justicce in life. As a community leader this training ignites the powerful presence necessary to stand and affect the change as a powerful visionary commited to improving our social conditions. Ready. yes I am ready in the face of feeling fear, and doubt when I narrate that nobody cares enough or that there is not enough time, or that my leadership is to weak. I stand for being the one who leads our peoples in Global Peace, Social Justice, Youth education and the beautiful example of gentle masculinity with the strength of unconditional love. through you I am blessed, and I encourage you to explore Vision Force and the amazing tools that Michael Skye has to offer.

In breath as life I am honor,

Keith

Destination Success!

http://SacredCEO.gaia.com — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 08:56:43 GMT

Today the shadow cast as the moon danced in front of "Kala" the
sun. A time of inner strength and the determination to follow
through! Earth changes abound and the simple term "Love thy
Neighbor" is commanded through our consiousness and will to heal.

From the North to the South the East and West may our energies be
unified! Connected to source we gather to bring light and
change. From the roots, finding the water once only thought
to be there. The wellspring now full as we embrace the
stars. Bring health to all who seek its temple. Breath to
the core to inspire the life flow within our physical vessels!

It is Sunday evening as I sit in the "Living Room" lobby of our
hotel preparing the networks facillitating our
journey home. Aleia is peacefully sleeping with her mommy
in the castle of health called "Rady Children's Hospital". There
is only room for one of us to sleep there, so it is my honor to be
doing this work as I prepare the gound for us to walk back to our
sanctuary on the Big Island of Hawai'i.

Tomorrow we begin our discharge process from the hospital and we will
see many doctors and pack up our temporary home. Then, move into the
hotel room for two additional weeks to stay close by and attend
periodic visits to monitor Aleia's heart. My gratitude
emanates in all directions, blessed by the beauty of god and goddess in
all their names surrounding us in this amazing and epic walk. A
change of the four months we have been hospitalized. Aleia's
grandpa and Auntie arrive tommorrow evening to meet her for the first
time. I know she feels them coming!

Wednesday the 21st I will make the journey to Austin and join a team of
world changing visionaries at the Vision Force Bootcamp. As a
part of a global competion, social change agents from all over were
asked to submit applications describing thier idea of vision and the
tools inside required to get there. On the 21st of February the
selected participants were announced and I recieved my invitation to
attend. The Vision Force Bootcamp is a four day intensive joining
30 changemakers together to resource the necessary tools to facilitate
the vision. I am honored to be chosen and very excited to
attend! After the event I will visit my father, who will
drive down from a little town named San Angelo and share an early birth
day together. We are both born April 5th.

It brings me great joy to bring these tools back to our communities, and begin the rest of our lives this way.

Community health and wellness brings about a whole new meaning as we
return to our projects back on the Big Island. We are standing to
empower our local island communites through sustainable methods and
encouaging local economic development. We are networking the
communities to become allies effecting the greater change. Our
Health and Wellness market place will serve as a model to other
community entreprenuers focusing on Concious Capitalism. Through
the eyes of a village we are building a space to gather, to experience
the joys of connection, honor the culture and perpetuate its beauty,
educate and nourish our youth, heal and move our bodies and express our
souls. As we share the tools of sustainability, health and
wellness is achieved and once again we move forward in ease.

I honor you all in your journeys, I honor my self in mine. We are
all blessed in infinite rays of abundance and love. Remember to
breathe, I reflect this to myself again as I breathe with you.
Through you we are blessed,

Keith

From Momma soul!

http://SacredCEO.gaia.com — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 11:59:05 GMT

Wednesday, March 7

Today we enter a new chapter in this amazing adventure. Around 7 pm we return to room 323 in the IMU. As we settle in Keith mentions a "wrinkle in time." Our little "wrinkle" has been the space of two weeks and in those two weeks, two heart surgeries. Our daughter's chest opened and closed twice, 13 days with only iv fluids "to eat,"
a beautiful man sharing his time, focus and strengths with our daughter. There is a new universe of intimacy in our lives as we share the care of our daughter with nurses and doctors plenty. We now have a new caregiver every twelve hours, twice a day "getting to know" the person who will give care to our daughter.

Tomorrow, Aleia will have her final of two chest tubes removed. We will be able to hold her as much as we want. Breast feeding will return to normal. Aleia will still need some healing on her leg, though soon we will return to the Big Island. She has many scars across her beautiful little body-I always said i would love to do a book on scars and their stories, perhaps keith will be the photographer.

For now I retire, to deep breathing in the Delta way, Thank you Cassandra!
-visioning of our home, and healing sleep before another big day in the world of the Soul Tribe.

In gratitude and infinite joy,
The Great Momma Soul

I am blessed to be here and grateful to all of you who reflect success around me!
Aleia is sleeping soundly tonight in her new room in the intermediate care unit. She is healing at rapid speeds. After writing this email I will return to sleep with her this evening as Nicole seeks rest and santuary at the hotel. We were transferred today to the same room we left two weeks ago! Halleluah and as we returned Aleia was happily greeted by all of the amazing I am U (Intermeddiate Care Unit) angels. We also got the stretch limo crib which is big enough to lay next to her in bed. We have made many friends here at this gathering of spirits. A great mending tree for us all.

I look at Aleia's scar on her chest and realize the reflection of her truly opening her heart to us! Aleia is my messenger and on this road I chart the direction home. I call upon you the universe the grand collector of all, I am ready to receive the Sanctuary home of our living well, to provide a safe and nurturing space where abundance of life is shining in our lives, a peaceful foundation in which to dig our roots deep and honorably in symbiance as our family grows. I am creating the essence of music to radiate from my healing soul and provide a source of service to all. Aleia, swinmming next to Nicole, Raven, Blaize and I at the beach.
Golden rivers of consciousness embracing the goodness of our spirit, vibrating with breath.
Rented biodiesel tours exploring the organinc mountain farms, childrens books published from the press of Mrs. Soul, Sacred Designs functioning in many arenas of commerce and education. Recording music with the children, sharing the love expression though action!

Navy To Use Sonar Despite Court Rulings Act allows exemptions from environmental law during wartime by Joan Conrow When it comes to complying with environmental laws, the U.S. Navy has proven to be as slippery as the marine mammals that federal statutes strive to protect. Last August, the Navy said it would comply with the law and conduct the studies required to use high-intensity sonar at all its major ranges, including those around Hawai'i. Conservation groups, seeking to spare whales, dolphins and other ocean animals from the potentially lethal affects of underwater sonar, breathed a sigh of relief. But recently the Pentagon announced that the Navy doesn't have to comply with the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA) while it's conducting those studies. Donald Schregardus, deputy assistant secretary of the Navy for the environment, said the Navy sought the exemption because "we cannot stop training for the next two years" while the studies are being done. Schregardus is the same man who, last August, vowed the Navy would no longer attempt to circumvent the law, as it had done in seeking a six-month exemption from the MMPA to allow the Rim of the Pacific summertime war games to proceed in Hawai'i. At the time, the Navy was facing litigation over its use of sonar in Hawaiian waters, just as it is currently facing a lawsuit over similar activities off the coast of Southern California. The Pentagon's announcement came shortly after the California Coastal Commission declared that the Navy's proposed safety measures for the sonar exercises do not adequately protect marine life. The commission urged the Navy to adopt a number of additional provisions before conducting its planned training. Instead, the Navy appealed to the Pentagon, and it invoked the 2004 National Defense Authorization Act, which allows the Department of Defense (DOD) to grant itself categorical exemptions from environmental laws during times of war. In a three-paragraph memorandum, Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England excused the Navy from all provisions of the MMPA in its use of high-intensity, mid-frequency sonar for a period of two years and stated that, in that time, the Navy would "execute the plan coordinated with the Department of Commerce to come into full compliance" with the MMPA. Joel Reynolds, a senior attorney with the Natural Resources Defense Council, says the exemption is "a clear admission by the U.S. Navy that its current operations violate the protective standards" for marine mammals. "It's not that the Navy can't comply with the law. It's that the Navy chooses not to." Reynolds and other lawyers, representing conservation groups in the fight against the Navy's unfettered use of sonar, plan to proceed with their lawsuit, anyway, contending the training exercises also violate other federal environmental laws. "The Navy has more than enough room in the oceans to train effectively without injuring or killing endangered whales and other marine species," Reynolds says. "Whales and other marine mammals shouldn't have to die for practice."

Open Heart!

http://SacredCEO.gaia.com — Sat, 03 Mar 2007 00:28:52 GMT

Aloha and Greetings Beautiful Tribe-
I write to you all from San Diego, on the eve of Aleia's final corrective heart surgery. The procedure will take place tomorrow, Saturday March 3 at approx 8 am.

Yesterday Doc Lamberti, the amazing surgon who spends days and nights at the hospital operating on and tending to many beautiful little bodies, approached us and said "We didn't operate today...laugh, we're just waiting for the stars and planets to be in alignment...laugh". Doc didn't know that this saturday will mark a day of a full moon as well as a full lunar eclipse. This is a day of seeing our intentions manifest as well as connecting our Virgo everyday routine aspect with our Pieces spiritual aspect. As Keith reads to me of this sacred earth union i know that it is truly one of the many lessons of this journey.

With so many of you all across this planet gathered in support of our continued success, we join together yet again to share joy and celebrate life and its many wonders. This lunar eclipse also brings the opportunity of many magnificent epiphanies-revealations beyond our deepest imaginings. So to be completely open on this day-in love and gratitude is to serve Aleia and her healing as well as each of us in ours.

My deepest gratitude and breath goes out to all of you who have continued to pray, sing, gather, move energy, draw, write, donate, and hold light and love in the celebration of life for us and our amazing daughter. An open heart hears all cries and prays for everyone. And to Aleia for continuing to surrender to the one union with infinite faces. Aleia the master-maker, my greatest teacher here, you are divinity in openness, the flame of eternity and joy.
It my greatest honor to be your momma, friend, daughter, sister, queen, playmate,niece, granddaughter, teacher, student,reflection...
You are all in my heart, your souls make the dance that is my light.

Blessings and Joy!
The Momma, the Poppa, the One

First Earth Battallion

http://SacredCEO.gaia.com — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 23:18:57 GMT

The FIRST EARTH BATTALION was called into being during the early 1980's by TASK FORCE DELTA at the Army War College to give the Army a way to see its full potential as an instrument of the future.
The charge was "to think the unthinkable."
This mythological force has functioned as a free service think tank to the Army ever since. As an instrument of creative thinking it has found its way into various current Army projects. Most recently, principle Academy Fellow Jim Channon, Lt. Colonel, US Army (Ret.), visually summarized the OBJECTIVE FORCE WARRIOR findings and teamed up with Army Chief of Staff Pete Schoomaker to open the mindset of future Army leaders at the School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) course at Command and General Staff College (CGSC). Jim also helped shape the future vision efforts of the new Secretary of the Army using his summarizing strategic graphics techniques.
Jim has led the World Business Academy fellows for three years on a quest to create the most positive future vision for the planet for the next 100 years. There is a direct correspondence between the academy's vision and focus on the "whole planet" and the efforts of the world's most effective action agent and institution, the United States Army.
Welcome to our future potential: GLOBAL NATURAL SECURITY

EARTHRISE ...
The 100 year positive vision for planet earth
EARTHRISE GOALS IN CAPS

As we awaken to the grand new global infrastructure we have built as a by-product of both the industrial age and the information age, we now find ourselves a functioning global civilization, without realizing how it quite happened. We are moments away from having the COLLECTIVE GLOBAL PUBLIC VOICE that will redistribute our more centralized and mostly obsolete institutions and birth the decentralized VISIONARY MINDSET that will move humanity to a direct and comforting NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH NATURE.

Our next steps will combine PROFOUNDLY SIMPLE LIVING with WIDEBAND RENEWABLE ENERGY and give us the footing to begin to focus on NATURAL SECURITY AND GLOBAL RECONSTRUCTION. This will be to move the oceans and fresh waters to where they are most needed. We will restore the forest cover and coastal waterways and coral reefs and find grand new ways to rebuild our cetacean community. By expanding our options locally we will usher in the ETHICAL MARKETPLACE which will be another wideband array of new and very old means of exchange that will allow all to play in the arena of their choosing. Our education will have a new centerpiece and that will be THE SCIENCE OF CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION that will focus us on the emerging intelligence we need to stay awake during more complex and subtle times. Among our most important new skills will be the capacity to accept and then merge with other dimensions.

INTERDIMENSIONAL AWARENESS will allow for that series of new relationships with a more conscious ways to live, more significant direct relationships with our animal and plant life, and the potential to accept that the local universe may have a variety of other conscious players who have just been waiting for us to reach a state of public awakening as a planet ... so that mature conversations could take place. During this both stabilizing and more conscious period of existence we will all come to SEE THAT OUR PLANET IS AS GOOD A CANDIDATE FOR PARADISE as might be imagined. And that is what we shall build until our entry into the twenty-second century changed beyond anyone's current imagination.

VISION FORCE BOOTCAMP

http://SacredCEO.gaia.com — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 11:14:13 GMT

.

A vision entry into the journal of journey into the changemaking movement of Vision Force.
These writings and documents were included in my application to Vision Force Bootcamp.

To find out more about Vision Force and their unique tools of success visit Vision Force.
Michael Skye and his team of visionaries are doing the work it takes to create positive change accelerate in our world.

Blessings to this day as I look into the oracle creating the next moves of current today. As I rest in this box of concrete writing these words, I am blessed to reflect here and put forth the effort of imagination to create my journey in this social change.

I am in initiation of the Warrior as my little Aleia, the orchestrator of this journey rests in her bed at the Children's Hospital here in San Diego. Her heart is strengthening as she prepares for the arterial switch procedure that will provide her sacred body with smooth oxygen flow. This time has been a break of sorts, creating a new focus on life and reorganizing the priorities of love. So often before my mind boggled with tasks of success and financial completion, now reminded by the second of the responsibility of radiant love that I have to my race! This surgery that we have gathered for is even more symbolic of the connection of circuits that are being connected all over the globe. The merge of Science and Religion, Buddha and Christ, Male and Female, Fire and Water and the list goes on. For the flow to be successful the circuits must connect, and that is what I am learning here. The commitment to spirit is paramount. Breathing deep and focusing on that which I need to operate happily and efficiently and that which my world needs to nurture the next seven generations to come. Responsibility which used to mean paying my bills and turning off the lights, has turned to an issue of morality amongst my social bretheren. Now this fabric that is weaved of the many colors of man is inspirational fuel that keeps my fire bright.

As I return back home into the everyday journey I must release this visioning so that it may grow without my harness. I must remain focused on the direction that I am headed, and remain a constant light for all of those around me to see their reflection of joy and strength to be. As the community gathers in Hawaii, the magnetic field becomes amplified by the manna of Pele. We must honor all of us who walk this earth and the many earths inside. I must honor these visions as truth under the scrutiny of all obstacles that come my way. Money, politics, image, fear, judgement, and death. All things that = energy. Now as I create, I am aware that it is all at the fingertips of now. My thoughts, my motions and my surrender to the ways that the dreams unfold.
I am cleansed through the fire and my breath is freshened through the smoky ascent.

I am blessed by this beautiful daughter of mine and she is the master maker. Through this journey, as crazy and challenging as it has been, I am humbled by the many many many blessings that have come forth. The true essence of community has shown her face to me. The face of compassion has been laid at my feet for study. And the joy of smiles from children of all walks that are healing in this place of respite where some choose to pass to the next place. I am honored to walk here and choose joy and success. I am the change that I wish to see. Through this walk I am creating an entity of new consciousness and finance. A new way of doing business. A fresh way to live. Sacred Designs " The New Business Business"

Now the day begins faced with the plethora of options in front of me to move. On one hand, the love of family and joy of spending time with the amazing children I have been gifted with in this earth, and in the same hand, the world in which my children are raised. I am here upon this earth to radiate the resonance of my being and within that resonance lies the passion to create a network of change through the development of integral infrastructure. Looking at these options I am challenged to create the best of all worlds by creating an example in my own life. The microcosm that is demonstrated here is one of the collective voice. The joining of minds through community consciousness and social architecture. The answer in my court becomes the creation of community action through empowerment of resources. Utilizing the essence of what we have known for generations and incorporating this back into our social fabric. The Global Village!

We are reminded daily by the fear and war that exists from the separation of beliefs or at least the difference in the explanation or interpretations of those beliefs. It is that grace that will bring us back together to create this change that we seek. It is a presence of blessing that is called upon in this time of shift. Where there is lack, there is the need to support those in the position to bring about the change.

Now in my presence, I am reminded to bring the blessings here upon all. An ancient practice of the traditional Hawaiians is termed Ho'oponopono, the practice of blessing all those in our lives who bring conflict, or need resolution of some sort or another. In this time I send blessings to our president Mr. George W. Bush. IWe understand that you have faced many challenges and the journey has shown you many lessons. We are grateful that you have delivered us here, and we are now ready to take over as the people and move forward with a different approach.

We have reached a time in the world where we have communication with the earth as a whole and with all of her peoples and resources. We now share the capability to share the musical collection of tribes across the earth as well as speak to their chief or view a movie of a specific ceremony practiced for centuries. We can study languages of all peoples in all countries. The technologies that that make this possible have originated in warfare. For all things we must be grateful.

It is time for change, and the shift is already occurring. The evolution has begun and the wave is rising! Yes I said evolution, for as we grow we continue the change. As we revolve, we recreate the wheel and create that which has already been. Throughout this journey with Aleia and the amazing lessons she provides I have realized it takes the children to raise a village. If we start here and continue looking forward, we remain successful!

Aloha Nui Loa
My breath to yours,

Keith Kavisic
