Can spirituality save the World? July 22, 2005 9:24 AM
Great turn is coming. World is about end. We are all aware of inavoidable necessity of changes. Will there be anybody left after those changes? If this trends in pollution continues it is unlikely. Science failed, religion failed, so eyes of the world`s highest spirits are looking at spirituality as our last chance to avoid disaster.
Moral and ethics are corrupted with conformistic style of life. Science is used as a servant of this conformism, and become nature enemy number one. Religion is obsolete and doesen`t know what to do with this new challenge. And what spirituality has to offer? Many people see in spirituality last hope to change the way people are looking on nature and life in global. With widening their horyzont people could gain greater awareness about interconnections of all things, lost connections between mankind, nature and Universe. Hence with changing their level of consciousness many people will also change the way of doing things, style of life, and way of thinking. All these could help humanity to organize industrial process in better accordance with nature, and thus to last longer, and achieve sustainable living. Trouble is that old spirituality is not made for this purpose!
Purpose of old kinds of mysticism are made for reasons which were actual in their time. Yoga for deliberation of death and this material world. Magick to control things around for own benefit. Hermetism to learn hidden wisdom of another realms to use it for immortality and powers...etc list is all the same more or less. Some of those things are still actual for everyone, for example - enlightenment becouse death is universal problem, but others have lost their importance. So yoga wants to set you free form all connections with this world! How this can help the nature? in no way.
I was in that state of mind and trust me you don`t care for anything then. Life and death was all the same for me. Eternity- there is no time so there is no distraction, changes..nothing. Obviously this kind of consciousness is not what we have on mind when we expecting help from spirituality. Ramana maharshi said: "let the world take care of itself!" My precedor Yu Jee answered when he was asked how can great saints of India help the worl "in no way. Nobody ask those people in any country-not only in India- how to solve the problems." Enlightened people is expelled from all important events. They wanted this way, so they have no right to complain. They become uninterested for world`s problems. It`s all game for them. For that reason i came back here - in ordinary state of mind.
Some people in past few decades has been working on how to create new kind of spirituality for the purpose of saving the planet. Most of these are belong to 'new age' movement. Global meditation for healing the Earth, for cleaning the planet from 'evil' energies, for decreasing rate of chriminal, for global peace, are just some of attempts to make the world better place with use of mind power. Still without great results. It seems that some other forces are controling history on which spirituality as it is has not great influence. Maybe we are in a need for some new kind of spirituality not invented yet, or maybe.. it is blind faith? I am an optimist in this case. I believe that our spiritual energy if correctly guided can make great things for our planet and change our destiny. New spirituality should include in itself science, rational logic, and active approach to worlds problem. And yet it has to be above and stay untouchable.
We have already here some expirienced spiritual workers and global healers. So let us here from you Amanda, Carmen, Owen, sorry if I missed someone, you are all invited to tell about this important topic.
It's our best hope. In 1973 my guru said that because a handful of people were chanting the maha mantra, the earth still existed. Othewise it would have become a charred cinder floating in space about 30 years ago.

I can say that for sure after 6-7 years with aware work in this area (before that I did it without knowing it - I just was so tired in periods and slept alot).
But at the same time you have the free will.
The pope who died recently, John Paul II?, he said something strange one of the first times he was sick. He said "Those who cooperate with nature will survive, those who turn their backs to nature will die". I saw it in the news on net. Later it was hushed down, of course.
I can already see that its happening. I was talking with someone about that its said by experts that 1 of 3 will get cancer. Then two days later I saw a newspaper in a shop where they had statistics over people who get cancer and they was predicting how future will be. 1 of 2 women will get cancer and 1 of 3 men will get cancer or vica versa (excuse me my bad memory). So........nature is balancing itself in a way already...
and of course..when you work with earth healing work its impossible to not change your own life. The more aware one get about nature and feel nature, you change your life to cooperate with nature, more and more.
God's grace is stronger than any human premonition or perception. It is really beyond our little comprehension. Our experiences with the Divine are so incredible, beyond description. I KNOW within my heart and soul that the Light of God and the Universe is stronger than the dark!
One door closes, another opens, same with spiritual development.
Shift happens: Spirituality is saving the world July 25, 2005 4:56 AM
The Shift to higher consciousness is happening today. It is society’s re-orientation into heart-centered, heart-powered consciousness. You can read a lot more about it in an article that I wrote back in May 2004.
Yes, i completely agree! great shi*t is happening! Everything is destroyed, Earth is crying, clima is changing, waters are polluted, ozone layer is disappearing, our planet is in trouble..really is the time for some miracle..or just to let it go? So tell me Owen what is a plan. Don`t leave just with one link. this is a right place for such conversation. Thank you for adress of your site, i checked it. But there are only general things. Could we here some more? How to raise global consciousness. On what way and in which direction. How that could help our planet to become cleaner and safer place for life? Can spirituality influence politic and on what way? Is there some special kind of meditation? Is there some organization already existing and working on this?
I sure hope that sprituality can save the world. I do certainly believe that a majo spiritual shift is occuring right now in response to all the major disasters that are happening in the world and the huge population that has just exploded out of control. I think it is very clear that the world population cannot continue to live in this manner for much longer...at all.
I do have some hope though because I am noticing how many people are starting to receive insights and immersing themselves into spiritual readings and study recently. I mean I didn't care about all of this stuff a year ago but suddenly in November I read 'Da Vinci' code and then suddenly I started doing all this research on diffirent religions, started getting my hands on new age materials, started going to hypnotherapy, etc. etc. It is just like an avalance has started and all these insights and thoughts and desires to be a better person is coming to me all at once. But the funny thing was, when I went back home to Canada for Christmas (I live in the Czech Republic right now) I noticed that many others including my brother (we never got along when I was younger) were having all the same thoughts and feelings that I am...and what great discussions we had! I know of about 50 people who have just started getting into all these kinds of ideas in the last 6 months. So how many then, around the world are starting to 'wake up'
I fell if enough of us can awaken from the current farce of life then yes, something indeed can be done on a spritual level. But who knows how much time we have left to do that.
What I do feel though, is those people who are very spiritually aware will be in the right place at the right time. If things cannot be saved in time, I think most of us will be wiped out. But not all of us.
I just have some kind of feeling that people of like mind are going to start grouping together, and perhaps these places where they converge will be high positive energy spots from everybody pooling their energy together...and those places will survived. And those spiritually educated people will be left to educate the future generations in way that will prevent outcomes like this from happening again. I am wading in too deep now for me to know what I am talking about now. Just sharing my thoughts!
Eclipse....
great question!
save the world... from what?
what I learned in India is very close to that quote someone mentioned above from the last Pope -- we fail to cooperate with Nature at our own peril.
in India, they call creation (or Nature) the Divine Mother. She has many names and many faces, but they call Her as a feminine force. (you see some residual effect of this awareness, too, in many Western cultural norms: for instance, we refer to the oceans as 'Her' and until recently, hurricanes always had feminine names. in Romance languages, Nature is feminine.)
the natural disasters of course are coming.
this isn't to scare people or freak them out, but Mother is slapping Her (stupid) kids pretty hard in an attempt to wake us all up.
She plays right through the five elements -- fires, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes.... the elements themselves (air, water, fire, earth, sky) are out of whack and are reacting. it's important to see, in my opinion, that these disasters are in fact reflections that human beings have elicited from Nature, -- direct action-to-reaction feedback about the way we've been handling ourselves in a less-than-divine way for centuries.
it's also a challenge -- for us to understand the deeper play that's going on when these disasters do occur, instead of dismissing them at face value as 'coincidence' or 'random'.
finally -- there is no new creation possible without destruction.

Can spirituality save the World? January 24, 2006 1:01 PM
It is very inspiring to hear about all of these people suddenly becoming inspired to seek out spiritual information.
The world is in a terrible crisis. I mean, humanity has not been on the right track overall for awhile. Think about the way civilization has been going for millenia already. The difference is that now we have the technology to interfere with natural consciousness, we would still be destroying the earth with the way we are living and by the fact that we are sprawled onto over 90% of the earth! Look at the Earth from outer space and see for yourself.
Saving the world! We are really thinking about it and talking about it! But when are we going to spread the message to everyone? When will we begin to see movement and action? what do we really need to do?
There are still people censoring the Pope talking about the people who go "forward", not back into nature are the only ones who are going to survive! Will the United States continue refusing to cooperate with an international effort to save the environnment headed by noble-prize winning scientists with the excuse that it might hurt their economy and they don't agree with the science? Its as if they can make up their own! The state of the world is no big deal! Plus, its less important than the economy. But we can't hammer these people, they're not spiritually awake yet.
But its not only enough to be spiritually awake. To save the world, we need to have an explicit intention to save it. There are spiritual people who understand spiritual concepts and who may even be fascinated by spiritual reality and the mind but who have egocentric or even megalomaniacal pursuits. these people are very aware of what is going on and they use their spiritual awareness to cover up the truth of what other people are actually caring about, downplaying it as unimportant, unneccessary. But ultimately all of these people need not be seen as fixed in a certain way of being. In fact we need to see them as capable of changing which actually assists them in doing so. Despise the despiccable actions, but love the person who really is worthy of your love, and who needs it.
May the miracles continue to lift us all into spiritual awareness, and that those already there take the next step, perfecting themselves and their intention and becoming warriors of the light.
Ground our Light for Light to Enlighten July 03, 2007 5:44 AM
From my explorations, academically and experientially of the world religions, I feel that Spirituality, qualified as "Light," can "Save the World."
Light exists in all the major World Religions. Major breakthroughs occur as indiviudals (living and deceased) realize this is an essentail fabric of our Global Earth consciousness. This is a part of the structure of time and space, along with plants, animals and esp. our Celestial Light.
I have discovered (through a lot of research)that the structure of our stars and star forms provides us with an essentail key. Spiritual Astronomy "grounds" the Light in our Consciousness, so that this real, physical Light (metaphysically all is spiritual) can inspire consciousness and global events to unite all good people ... and like scriptures say, bring Heaven to Earth.
