Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream

This past weekend, I attended the Awakening the Dreamer, Changing the Dream Symposium produced by the Pachamama Alliance.  Even though I already knew much of the information presented in this symposium, I was definitely touched by the facts and ideas covered in the excellent videos and narratives given by the facilitators.

The Pachamama Alliance is a collaborative effort between an indigenous tribe residing in Ecuador and Peru and a group of individuals in North America, to teach all the people of the modern world about the dangers we have created in our world, the unexamined assumptions that these dangerous developments are based on, and suggested ways to change our assumptions and beliefs, and restore balance to our world and ourselves.

The core unexamined assumption they point to is “We Are Separate,” meaning that people in general believe that they are separate from other people, from the Earth and all that is in it, and from the Creator.  The people in the Alliance believe that is an incorrect assumption, that in fact We Are All One.

This is exactly the core belief of Humanity’s Team, mentioned earlier.  It is also one of my own core beliefs, as mentioned in my book, my blog and my talks.  God created the entire universe, including each of us.  In fact, God created each of us as parts of God.  We humans are all one with each other, and one with the animals, plants, rocks, dirt, etc.  We are all one with God.

Whatever we do to another, we also do to ourselves.  Whatever we do to ourselves, we do to all others.  If most of the people living in this world recognize and accept this belief, many of our problems will simply disappear.

I encourage you to find out more about the Alliance and this symposium, and attend a program if at all possible.  Two web sites of interest are www.AwakeningtheDreamer.org and www.Pachamama.org.  You can also contact local facilitator Steve English at 704-905-8335.

Another web site that I highly recommend is www.FourYearsGo.org.  This site was created almost exactly one year ago, and is based on the idea that, in four years time, we as a world population can create massive change if we each make a commitment to do whatever we each can to put this world on a course to much higher spiritual and practical evolution.  Check it out, and if you decide to make a personal commitment, please consider using the link http://www.fouryearsgo.org/commit/?referral=5403003.  This link identifies me as the referrer.  It would be personally gratifying to know that some my dear friends have made such a commitment, as have I.
