Declaration for a New Humanity

"...the Red Nation will rise again and it shall be a blessing for... a world longing for light. I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day, there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things and the young white ones will come to my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole Universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am in that place within me, we shall be one."

~ Chief Crazy Horse

A Troubled World

A change that is sweeping envelops the world, driven by events that confound common sense. What causes our fearful world? What lies behind today's deepening divisions? We turn on the television and watch the news. We pick up the newspaper to read the headlines: suicide bombers explode in crowded restaurants; terrorists kill children riding buses and trains. The long arm of ancient disputes reaches out of the grave to ignite century-old conflicts in a new outpouring of fear. Who can explain today's polarization-the fracturing, name-calling, and splitting asunder that everywhere is intensifying?

In the bombardment of our daily reported news, the human will to act contrary to its own best interest challenges our capacity to understand or cope.

In earlier times when humanity embraced its humanity, the task that was great became the task that was done. A community in trouble touched us, causing an outpouring of generosity among thousands of communities. People opened their hearts to help complete strangers whose homes had been taken by a natural disaster. Whenever human beings have touched their humanity-the selfless outpouring of a global relief campaign; a world Olympian game or the celebration of a new millennium-we witnessed the promise of our species. Today we are asking, are we witnessing the end of our own promise?

People admit the strangeness in their growing sense of connection among the world's troubling events. The suspicion grows nevertheless that a connection is operating in our world-wide terrorism, teenage violence, child kidnappings, killer viruses, food insecurity, ethnic cleansing, civil wars, weapons of mass destruction, United Nation breakdowns and the fires, winds, floods, tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes and global warming that challenge a new generation. To suggest connections among previously unrelated events may trouble the rational scientist but when satisfactory answers cannot be found in politics, science, sociology, psychology, or history, the search to understand what threatens humanity becomes a new global agenda.

Fear has eaten its way into the human psyche. The rise of fear is more intense today than the fear that gripped the times of World War II, the Middle Ages or other historic periods. Some people simply turn off their television to shut out the fear coming into their home. They chose not to engage the emotion-it's not part of their life. Others feel unable to control their fear. In regions of Africa and the Middle East, for example, people experience their fear barometer pushing into the extreme danger zone. They are unable to walk down their own street without an invisible terror suffocating their breath.

When life goes terribly astray, we search for a cause. In a search for the cause of a troubled world, we look for someone to blame. There is always a person or event to blame. Wicked weather, rouge states, historical blood debts or a failing economy are common objects of blame along with governments, media, politicians and terrorists. We also blame our spouse. We blame our business partner. We blame the neighbor. If you asked humanity the question, what causes your misery, answers would pour in with no hesitation. He did it. She did it. My boss is the culprit. The President is to blame. Congress is the problem. Corporations don't know what they are doing.

When it comes to naming the cause of today's intensifying fear, we disagree intensely on who to blame but share a consensus about pointing the finger. Common sense always points the finger.

Our situation today is comparable to an earlier period when people living in the Middle Ages were certain they understood how their world work. For the 16th century, common sense understood the earth was stationery and never traveled or moved. The earth's stability was fixed. The idea that our planet turned on its axis at a speed of a 1000 miles an hour while hurling through space at some 67,000 miles an hour was foolish indeed. Right-thinking people had only to look outside their window to observe the sky. The sky was basically still. The days and nights that came and went simply meant the sun revolved around the earth. It was a common sense understanding and tightly held by everyone, from ministers in government to priests in churches, professors in universities and ordinary people who lived every where on earth.

Then came Nicolas Copernicus postulating a radically unorthodox idea. Copernicus argued that the earth orbited the sun contrary to common sense in a new theory that eventually proved correct, persuading the entire human race that everyone on earth was misinformed. Our condition today is similar. The source of our misery and the cause of our fear is not at all what we believe it to be.

The discovery of what is creating our misery will one day rank as humanity's greatest discovery. Someone will win the Nobel Prize for producing the evidence of how our world works. The present generation is in line to win the Nobel Prize with two different groups in a competitive dead heat. One group consists of thousands of scientists that comprise the field of quantum physics now generating the possibility that the subatomic world shape shifts to human observation and perception. Quantum physics sits on the edge of a radically new understanding: thought is primal in the creation of this world. The other group consists of you reading these words-you who believe that you create your own reality; you who recognize that if you want to change the world you first have to change yourself.

When thoughts of fear emit from our mind, they collect silently in the atmosphere. When fearful thoughts collect, they shape our world. While the power of thought to create the world is not widely comprehended, our thoughts are nevertheless the cause of today's troubled world. Physicality is a psychological construct. One day we will realize atomic structure is neither solid nor independent of human thought.

Today's common sense would reject such an unorthodox concept. You can hate your neighbor as much as you want so long as you keep your hate to yourself. When something goes wrong in your life, it is not caused by your own thinking. Victims don't create their personal nightmares. The idea that you are the creator of your outside world from inside your own home defies common sense.

Nevertheless, a new wave of Nicolas Copernicus's is suddenly questioning the common sense of our time, raising the question, are we all misinformed? Does the human condition, in fact, have its origin in our Selves?

In this remarkable question, a transforming idea enters the world, introducing an altogether new possibility. The earth could be safe, exciting and joyous to experience if trust, curiosity and respect became humanity's unwavering perception. The troubles of our world change before our eyes, one person at a time, when we change our fears into trust, gratitude and beauty.

"The appearance of things change
according to the emotions and thus we
see magic and beauty in them, while the
magic and beauty are really
in ourselves."
-- Kahlil Gibran
 

It took decades for the ideas set forth by Nicolas Copernicus to find public acceptance. It will take time for a new discovery to find public acceptance as well.

In addition to the evidence being generated by a new physics, biologists can be expected to make supporting discoveries involving our own physical equipment-the human body-discoveries that will reinforce the new theory that we are creating our world out of our Selves. We will discover the powerful mechanism of sensory perceptions that convinces us to believe that the walls of our room are not empty space but solid and real. Science will uncover the existence of airborne hormones that emit from our skin and connect 'circuits' to other human beings everywhere on earth creating a vast physical network that connects the fearful thoughts of humanity into a global matrix known as social consciousness. Our networked thoughts with their atomic weight functioning in a chemical medium located in the earth's atmosphere, emitting fearful discharges into life on earth, are the mechanism that creates today's troubled world.

In such strange concepts, the world's common sense will one day shift and change again. Humanity will evolve. Future generations will love and thrive without fear or blame.

"Imagine all the people living life in peace."
-- John Lennon
 

The world is the result of how we see ourselves. Its origin is the thoughts we assert as self-evident. Common sense-what we all agree to believe-is the pallet from which we paint our world. When a person declares, 'if one thing doesn't get me, something else will,' that person creates his or her fearful world out of that assertion. In the perception that bad things happen for no reason at all, bad things happen 'for no reason at all.' In the perception that the world is an untrusting place, the world becomes an untrusting place.

Common sense says humanity cannot be trusted. Anyone can see that is obvious. What is not so obvious is that our belief in distrust is the cause of our distrusting world.

Humanity is free to create its world through any dream it chooses. Evolution is self-selecting. You have free will. No one is doing anything to you. How you see your Self is how you see the world. How you see the world is how you experience the world.

Understanding this extraordinary idea, a person can walk free of the human condition and banish the fear of the historical misunderstanding. Freeing yourself from today's common sense, you can change the world that was created by common sense.

A New Humanity

A new humanity is the bold decision to ride the coattails of a transforming idea now entering the world-the understanding that you can re-invent the human condition by re-inventing your Self. In the decision to end the blame and be the change you desire for humanity, you walk out of the prison of the human condition to transform a fearful world.

A new humanity is created out of the realization that the Gordian knot of our world has its origin in our Self.

A new humanity occurs one person at a time. The evolution of humanity may take an entire generation. It may require a 1000 generations. For the individual re-inventing their Self, however, he or she can change the world in one moment.

How do you re-invent your Self? Instead of judging the world, you hold steady the state of non-judgment. Non-judgment is the awareness that unlocks the unconditional mind. The unconditional mind allows you to create whatever you can imagine. You will never touch your mind in a state of judgment. In a new awareness, however, an age of discovery is ushered into the world as the unconditional mind appears, generating beauty, creativity and an outpouring of options to no-option despair.

Various social observers have described a new constituency emerging in this time. Labeled by one sociologist, Paul Ray, as the 'cultural creatives,' the roots of this constituency can be traced back to the activism of the 1960s. Its current expression, however, aligns more to the writings of Lao Tse, Rumi, Deepak Chopra, the PBS specials of Wayne Dyer, the film documentary, What The Bleep Do We Know, network media broadcasts about the power of thought and the visions of Native American activists, advocates of community and men and women pioneering new frontiers in many diverse fields. The understanding of how the world is created has suddenly become a worldwide phenomenon. By some estimates, the new culture represents nearly 30% of the U.S. population with its largest two components consisting of people who embrace the spiritual values of a 'new age' and young people, curious and aware, many of them now entering today's colleges and universities.

For people on the front lines of fighting terror or creating terror, this new constituency may seem unhelpful. Combating a troubled world by changing our Self seems like a diversion from today's harsh realities. Politicians, airport screeners and voters that place terror at the top of their list of concerns have little patience for 'long-term strategies' that don't address the fact that today's crisis is here and now. That viewpoint is understandable.

Great changes, however, typically involve the emergence of new points of view. Those that feel the urgency to act decisively in order to stem the disintegrating condition of today's troubled world are not wrong. A new humanity does not suggest they are wrong. It simply desires to explore a new idea for the benefit of humanity. It invites consideration of the possibility that two diverse ways of seeing the world could proceed in parallel: one based on the world's present beliefs and the other on the proposition that any human being can change their world by re-inventing themselves.

A new humanity has no need to demonize or blame. It believes that fellowship in the open can appear without making anyone wrong. It understands that trust is a unitary issue having nothing to do with the outside world but having everything to do with our own beliefs about trust.

Such concepts are a departure from historic understandings about how to change the world. In previous generations, movements for change had a hated adversary. Wars brought nations together to battle the enemy. Disenfranchisement and injustices united people against the oppressor. In the 1960s, a generation mobilized against racism with its call for 'power to the people.' Today's cultural creatives explore another possibility: the road to disempowerment is paved with the bricks thrown at our enemies.

A new humanity would re-script the political process altogether. Instead of demonizing the other side to win the next election, a new humanity would end side taking itself-the side taking that gave rise to the 160 million war casualties of the 20th century. A new humanity is a course correction in the historic misunderstanding about who is creating our world.

How did human side taking begin in the first place? In one mythology, it is said humanity came to a juncture and made a fateful decision. The choice we made at an earlier crossroads was to drop off our innocence under the 'tree of good and evil.' That decision created an on-off awareness, causing our Self to create its world through good and evil choices-good/bad, right/wrong-judgment. Judgment is the current stage of awareness and the only awareness we have ever known. There is nothing wrong with any stage of awareness and no one condemns the judgment path that got us here. But neither are we forever chained to the tree of good and evil.

Evolution at the Crossroads

To understand today's troubled world, the person who can see through the eyes of evolution will have the clearest view. In the time of evolution, people discover there are other trees-the tree of life and the tree of harmony, for example-that create altogether different experiences. Ending the judgment and embracing the unconditional nature of the earth and spirit is the destination of the deep river of evolution. You can choose to flow with the river or swim upstream against its current. There is no right or wrong. Through the eyes of evolution, whatever direction you swim and whatever choice you make are in perfection for you.

In previous generations, replacing blame with love was achieved by only a handful of people. Future generations honored them as saints in diverse religions and stories. Their lives suggested that any human being in any time or place has the innate capacity to change themselves and thereby re-script their life. Comprehending their lives, the modern world could become the genesis medium for a new human being.

In an earlier time when people lived in tribes and hunted and gathered food, starvation was the result as food became scarce. Then came the concept of farming, as hunters learned to cultivate the soil, plant seeds and experience the increased control over famine made possible by the vision of agriculture. In learning to feed ourselves, we evolved from the scarcity of hunting and gathering. In a similar fashion, humanity could evolve again.

Great shifts in human understanding have previously occurred.

• The belief that the earth was the center of the universe was dislodged by the fall of an apple, invoking the science of Isaac Newton
• Albert Einstein replaced Newton's science with his theory of relativity
• Quantum physics changed scientific understanding again, becoming the precursor to today's transforming idea

Today's science calls to a new generation to create the greatest shift in human understanding ever.

A single thought, unnoticed by nearly all people, is the mother of experience. Nothing prevents us from creating beauty when we perceive beauty in our Self. Every possibility stands directly in front of us, waiting to come into existence, as we create our world through our perceptions of our world.

Realizing the source of one's experience is thought-your own thought and the thoughts of those with whom you align-blame is a response that is no longer appropriate. You create victim when you blame. In blaming others, you infuse blame into your Self. Blame registers as a chemistry in your frontal lobe. In a new humanity, you would never attack your Self or see your Self as victim. Instead of blame and victim, you take responsibility for everything that happens to you. The belief that has imprisoned the modern condition-bad things happen for no reason at all-gives way to a new belief: everything that happens to me is going to be more magnificent than anything I could have imagined. In this new perception, experiences become better than imagined.

The prison of the human condition has grown naturally from the conscious and unconscious beliefs we hold about ourselves-victim; fear; unworthiness; distrust; and separation. Our belief in distrust and separation sits at the core of our modern crisis. Transforming our distrust and healing our separation, we free our Self from the prison of the human condition. Yesterday's saints experienced humanity's future based on this profound understanding.

The concept of taking responsibility for everything in your world can seem daunting to those that work hard to make the world a better place. Should respect be given to the person who plunders the environment or obstructs the democratic will? Is there no one to blame? When someone is 'wrong,' are they not demonized for good reason?

In previous ages, the person who had no judgment towards others was considered a fool. Indeed, a person able to see the deep purpose in all people, regardless of their 'wrong doings,' has been called the fool in every age. Nevertheless, in the lives of Lao Tse, Buddha, Jesus of Nazareth, Athanasium of Egypt, Father of Ethiopia, Benedict the Moor, Our Lady of the Angels, St. John, Rumi, Buddhist saint Shantideva, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Jr., the Dalai Lama, Oren Lyons and many others, we witness the fool inspiring the world with a simple understanding. The chains of the human prison are easily broken in our decision to love without condition. If you want to change the world, please change yourself. History's saints were able to hold this understanding as a matter of faith or philosophy. A new humanity is not a new idea. It is not a matter of faith or philosophy either. It is a description of how our world works.

For this generation, re-inventing common sense is made possible as a result of two consciousness-changing developments: (1) breakthrough discoveries in quantum physics that support the proposition that thought is primal in the creation of our world and (2) millions of people who believe, "I create my own reality, even when I don't know why."

The emergence of so many people in one generation believing their 'negative' experiences are cause for reflection rather than blame is one of the unnoticed, transforming events of this age. It also conforms with evolution's deep river. What is the course of evolution's deep river? It is a journey of awareness that flows in stages. The first stage is awake. After awake comes aware. After aware comes consciousness. After consciousness there is intelligence.

The human race has experienced its entire awareness journey between the stages of awake and aware. Consciousness is the next stage now appearing for large numbers of people. In this new stage, people become aware of their own awareness. When something negative happens, they wonder how they might edit themselves out of an old pattern to correct their 'problem.' They turn their negative experiences into reflections. In such understanding-to be the change that changes the world-a new humanity appears.

Understanding the power of thought is also among life's greatest challenges. Humanity's spiritual icons represented a rare circle of individuals. What made them unique was they found a way to free themselves from the disempowerment of blame by turning their thoughts into daily prayers or affirmations of beauty. For them, negative experiences were never a cause for blame but rather an opportunity to refine themselves with deeper feelings of gratitude and appreciation.

Everyone knows the inspiring stories of saints. What is new in today's world is the large population of people revisiting history's wisdom and understanding that you create your own reality out of your own perceptions of reality.

Perception Power

The physics of our world unlocks the prison of our world. In the discovery that our reality is a psychological construct, a person can walk free of the human condition by changing their perception.

There is nothing objective or factual about mass and matter. Atomic 'structure' takes shape according to our perceptions. Perception causes our world to form. Physicality itself is a perception.

What is a perception? All our beliefs are perceptions. Our truths are perceptions. How we feel is a perception. Our beliefs, truths and feelings determine how we experience the world.

The one and only thing a person can control at this stage of awareness is their perception. That understanding is no minor matter when you consider your perceptions are creating the world you love or hate.

Every human being on earth possesses the power of perception. When one person is able to deeply understand perception's power, that understanding, all by itself, is sufficient to turn that person into an omnipresent deity. You could evolve into an omnipresent entity simply by understanding perception's power.

When you sleep, your perceptions are erased. Whether you sleep all night or take a short ten minute nap, those theta and delta waves in the brain caused by sleep are an erasure, wiping clean your slate of perceptions. When you wake, your perception field is blank. In the first fifteen minutes of awake, you write on your slate again. You typically put all your perceptions back in place at that moment.

Whether you re-program yourself into your old perceptions or create brand new ones, either way that first fifteen minutes is when you do it. Most people program their perception field by default, putting back whatever they had going in their perceptions before they went to sleep. They wake up worrying, arguing in their head with someone or making a list of all the bad things that can happen today.

Those morning worries set the course for your day. You go to the toilet. You brush your teeth. Maybe you are half awake, half asleep. Even half awake taking a shower or snoring on the toilet, those early minutes are vital to the experiences of your day.

Your perceptions in those fifteen minutes are like a Map Quest you program on your computer, setting forth your daily roadmap. You set the perception field that determines how your day is going to be. You could create a travel plan that 'everything is going to be better than imagined' or you could decide 'if one thing doesn't get me, something else will.' How will it go today? That's for you to decide.

With each sleep, you unlock your perception chains. You are free again of the prison you have been perceiving. The slate of your perceptions is wiped clean every morning. Now you have a new beginning. Now you can re-create your entire world in those first 15 minutes.

If you were to take the reins of your own perceptions every time you woke, your life would radically change. In three months, your life could be better than imagined if you were simply to make 'better than imagined' your perception placement every time you woke up.

If you turn on the television to get a big breakfast of bad news first thing, you will spend that entire day feeling social consciousness tracking and chasing you down. When you program your perception to see the world falling apart, no one in the government is good anymore or the world is a horrible place to live, you employ that blame perception to create the experiences of your day.

Programming your day with television news is the decision to give yourself a good doze of Murphy's law-'if one thing doesn't get me something else will'-rather than taking a morning swim in the grand excitement of how everything in your life is going to be better than imagined. There is nothing wrong with watching the news but not in the first fifteen minutes.

Instead of programming your day with images of civil war, kidnappings or child abuse, you could put something playful, positive, joyful and happy on your blank slate of perceptions.

Where are your thoughts as you brush your teeth? Are you on a default setting as a creature of habit? Are there any negative programs you set into motion as you snore on the toilet? If your life is not better than imagined, find the reasons and modify them. Modifying your default settings and creating your better than imagined perception, begins the great journey to a new humanity.

In the time that is coming, you want control of your perceptions. Free of fearful perceptions, neither a pandemic like the bird flu or unexpected earth changes will cause you to fear-not when you comprehend the power of perception to create your better than imagined reality.

In the power of perception, you will create the world's new common sense.

 

Heart Circle Community

You live in a time when the earth is evolving. Humanity is evolving as well. The time of the earth is the time of humanity. The times favor re-inventing the human condition.

Re-inventing the human condition is also favored by community. Community is the collective understanding that nothing is more vital to the future of humanity than the evolution of humanity. The community that inspires a new humanity is like a great friendly kitchen offering inner nourishment. Community can nourish your passion to love, like a mother would nourish her newborn child. Millions of people today are on a journey to reinvent themselves. They sense the call to end the blame, heal the wounds, trust again and embrace gratitude and appreciation as their constant friend. They are leaving today's human condition, inspired by the vision to create a new direction altogether.

Releasing the negative ego to re-invent our Self is also our greatest challenge.

Most of us entering the new stage of consciousness have one foot in and one foot out of a new humanity. One moment we believe we can author our own life and the next moment we are bashing the President for destroying our world. The human race depends on us getting both feet out. What is needed now is for one person to get free-one person with both feet out.

Community is valuable to those that seek to get both feet out. Consider, for example, the challenge of blame. Blame is a belief carried as an ancestral memory by our own DNA. Blaming others for our misery is re-enforced by family, friends, associates, politicians and social consciousness. A bedrock in our historical understanding, virtually everyone blames someone for what goes wrong. Ending blame is like ending a chronic addiction.

What happens when something 'unfortunate' takes place? Our thoughts, emotions, unconscious mind and mitochondrial DNA rush to blame, pushing thoughts of blame to the forefront, followed by the emotion and chemistry of blame. We demand to know, who caused my misery? We rush to find the spouse, business associate, political party, economic system, disease, weather anomaly, nation or terrorist group with whom the blame game can begin.

Even when a person deeply believes that blame is best avoided-that blame is the decision to turn yourself into victim-blame pours out 'uncontrollably' like a swollen river that floods whenever something 'goes wrong.'

People who blame with every turn of events often believe they never blame. They struggle to understand the concept. They make discernments rather than blame. Discernment, however, is mostly another form of blame. Any comparison that has right and wrong or respect for some and disrespect for others in its emotional charge is blame. That is why many people find the state of no-blame daunting or impossible to comprehend.

Who can imagine a world where there is no one to fix, no one to blame and nothing wrong? Who can imagine that hiding in the shadow of our own unconscious mind, the creator of the world we condemn is silently creating the world we experience?

In the historical understanding, it made common sense to believe that bad things could get you for no reason at all. The appearance of evil had nothing to do with thoughts you once created and then pushed away or forgot. It was foolish to believe that victim was a psychological construction whose origin was your Self.

When blame addicts make their heroic attempt to overcome their ancestors' DNA as well as their own habitual patterns to blame in order to walk free of the human condition, a community can be their support team cheering them on. In ending the addiction to blame in order to author your own life, you will find inspiration in the blame-free community of a new humanity.

When entering a new humanity community, there is a ritual for every guest and resident. Blame is left at the door. Like taking off your shoes when entering the sacred temple, no blame is an agreement to respect the deep purpose of the community. Everyone puts blame aside when approaching the community's gate. Instead of blame, a new humanity embraces the power to author your own life rather than deny your power with more blame.

Ending blame does not mean you have to join a community of goody-two-shoes, where passion, preferences and different opinions strongly held have no place. There is nothing wrong with individuation and differences. But when you possess an unconditional respect for others and something happens in your life that causes an emotional reaction in you, rather than blame you are immediately acknowledging, "I created that," even when you don't know why. In this single understanding, a new humanity puts an end to pushing away the 'negative' results of their own unconscious mind. Facing and accepting the many external faces of the unconscious fear within, we heal the historical fracture between our conscious and unconscious mind and reclaim our birthright to create our own life consciously.

One of the great steps in the journey of self-awareness is the day a person sees into the subtleties of blame cascading through their thoughts and learns to unlock the prison created by the need to blame. Ending the blame is the key to the prison break from the human condition.

When we can show by example that our communities inspire practical solutions without blame, invitations will appear from corporations, international agencies, conflict-resolution groups, scientists, architects, courts, environmental organizations and politicians that will welcome our respect and non-judging awareness. The world will value our ability to walk easily in anyone's shoes. Should fear overwhelm regions of the world, our no-fear awareness will inspire hope. Should the appearance of global war, massive ice and snow or a worldwide pandemic cause humanity to fear, a new humanity will rise from obscurity with its network of communities and options to fear.

New humanity communities can be organized in populated cities as well as rural areas. They can appear in seaside resorts, tropical islands and winter locations. The initial purpose for forming a community may be a health spa, women's retreat center, a farming community, an international trade business, a co-op, a spiritual discussion group, technology development enterprise, a dance ensemble, or other diverse missions. Whatever the purpose, each community shares a common understanding: it is time to end the blame, build family, form tribes, and know thy neighbor. It is time to connect with people committed to a new direction on earth.

A new humanity is a great healing force for a troubled world that blames.

Where there once were friends that fell into blame, past wounds can be mended and old disputes forgiven. Re-connecting with earlier friends is like finding a treasure chest buried long ago. Ex-friends are remembered as good people that can be friends once more. In a new humanity, everyone is forgiven.

Loving unconditionally, you are never hurt again.

People drawn to this vision may not realize there are millions of others. There are more of you today wanting to create a new direction than those that comprised the Renaissance and 1960s combined. Now is the time to find each other. Now is the time for networks, travel, chat rooms and movements. Large networks supporting global family are presently in place and international organizations dedicated to a new humanity are operating. A Coalition for A New Humanity that could support the development of many local community centers is wanting to emerge, connecting and gathering resources and people, dedicated to a course correction in the United States, Canada, Europe, South America, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, the tropics and throughout the world.

You create a course correction in the world when you can create a course correction in your Self.

A defining event for this generation is coming. The time of the earth is a time of change. There is nothing to fear from future earth changes but they will create appreciation in you for the foresight and effort you make today to find your friends and create community. See what feels natural for you: networking or alliance building throughout the world or community development right where you live.

A new humanity is the decision to walk out of humanity's intensifying fear. When you connect to the thoughts of humanity that gather in the atmosphere, the fear of humanity connects to you. On the journey out of the human condition, you disconnect from the thoughts of humanity. A new humanity is not the decision to abandon humanity but the choice to create a new direction. Disconnecting from humanity's fear, you re-create the human experience. Re-creating the human experience, you transform the thought contaminants now threatening the world. Instead of thoughts of fear, you inspire respectful thoughts, better than imagined thoughts and divine thoughts aligned with the deep river of evolution.

The knowledge of how to make the physical and awareness changes that will support this evolution of awareness is now entering the world. You will find the recipients of this information in community where they are gathering this knowledge to share with you. In a heart circle community, you will find friends to share your new adventure and inspire your new direction.

Creating Options

A new humanity unlocks the unique creativity that awaits you when you touch the unconditional mind. The mind is not the brain. When you have judgment of any kind, your mind is held back-protecting you from your own thoughts. If you had a thought of unworthiness and placed it in your mind, you could extinguish your own existence. The mind is one of the great discoveries of a new humanity.

Touching your mind is your pathway out of the human condition. Non-judgment, no-blame and an unsullied innocence are the doorway to the unconditional mind.

New options appear in the unconditional mind. As new options enter the world, new humanity communities will offer regions of hopelessness options of hope. A new humanity creates alternatives to no option thinking. We can assist populations threatened by disease. We can provide retreat sanctuaries for people leaving a city. Whatever may challenge humanity, our communities will constitute the bright light house illuminating the way out of fear.

Should you see suffering in the world, you may feel the pull to 'fix the world.' Fixing the world will draw you into the fear enveloping the world. There are deep reasons for today's human condition. Fixing the problem will cause you to take sides. Taking sides will make you part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

Options will inspire the world. Options cause doors to appear when a person or nation has painted itself into a corner.

One way of creating options may involve 'breakthrough technology.' Breakthrough discoveries presently exist in today's world offering many inspiring alternatives.

Among those discoveries are technologies that can deliver non-invasive, optimum health strategies based on new understandings of sound. In addition, there are affordable hand-held power stations operating from magnets, devices delivering frequencies that can drop contaminants out of solution to produce vibrant, clean drinking water and processes that can convert human and industrial waste into a safe material that can be fabricated into virtually any consumer product made from wood or concrete. There are ceramic clamps able to hold and transmit a frequency to a fuel line for a near perfect combustion-converting high emission vehicles into low emission vehicles. There are enzymatic formulas to regenerate depleted soil for nutrient-rich food production in any region on earth.

As a result of these and other discoveries, a new humanity could inspire a new human agenda:

• Ending AIDS and other crippling diseases on earth
• Returning the air to the pristine condition of a pre-industrial age
• Manufacturing hand-held power stations to generate unlimited safe energy affordable for all
• Generating clean vibrant drinking water for anyone on earth
• Creating affordable nutrient rich, organic agriculture to end hunger and food insecurity
• Creating self-sufficient, thriving communities not dependent on a world economy but able to meet the physical needs of any local area
• Organizing self-sufficient communities that are mobile, allowing an entire population to pick up and move easily in a day

With a flood of new options entering the world, movements of compassion may develop in the present time as they have in the past. In today's world, however, movements that blame will polarize and self-destruct. Movements that respect and blame no one will inspire a new direction on earth.

How is this possible?

Every nation creates a culture holding its values and customs. The nation that nourishes respect as its culture unlocks an innate human potential able to send out an invisible influence. The power of respect to shape the world comes from its unconditional nature, an influence that quickly dissipates when turned on and off, giving respect to some while denying it to others. Where people offer respect unconditionally, a unique creativity enters the world.

In a nation of respect, citizens embrace respect as their own deep purpose. Technologies are developed for their respect of nature and people. Businesses are created out of understanding the value of constantly renewing the qualities from which respect grows, inspiring enterprises to become fertile soil for people to contribute without ulterior designs. Blaming or judging others may make common sense to the modern time but respect in a new humanity will never make those who disrespect wrong. Respect is simply the preference when leaving the prison of disrespect.

Respect engages the world with curiosity. Where curiosity has replaced the need to make others wrong, the mind becomes natural. Where the mind is natural, separate aims fall away and people can accomplish the task that is great.

When the need to blame is replaced with a respect and curiosity for all, a new human being appears:

• Fully open to life, your heart never closes
• You love without condition
• You respect without judgment
• You feel gratitude and appreciation for its own sake

You Have A Dream

The Phoenix was a mythological bird able to consume itself in flame. Nothing remained but an ashen seed from which the Phoenix would rise again in a new beginning. Like the Phoenix rising, a new humanity has entered the world, holding the belief that life is sacred and unconditional respect, the covenant for a new human being.

The world has entered a new cycle, requiring each person to choose their next, best evolutionary step. Some people will choose to continue today's fearful condition. Some will choose to create a new direction. There is no right or wrong. Right or wrong has no traction in a new humanity. You have preferences and there is nothing wrong with preferences. But you also recognize that everyone on earth has their deep reasons for what they are choosing at this crossroads of evolution.

Should all the world chose to continue to blame, one person, holding the dream of unconditional respect as a new standard on earth, is sufficient to birth a new humanity into the world. A new humanity is contagious. One person inspires another and then there are two. Two becomes four and four becomes millions.

Look around. See the people everywhere pursuing a life journey designed to embrace this dream. If divine human is the marathon we have all been preparing to run, millions of people are at the starting gate. Ask your inner wisdom if a new humanity is the reason you have come into this world and the birthright no one can take from you.

You are on a journey to create a prison break from the human condition. The key that unlocks the human prison is a new understanding: all your chains are forged by thought. In the decision to take responsibility for your thoughts, the world is made safe in the love, trust and beauty you contribute to the new dawn of your morning perceptions.

You stand at a crossroads. A great turning is before you. As the world chooses its direction at this crossroads of evolution, you remember that out of the worst of times has come the best of times. From the despair of the Middle Ages, the Renaissance was born. From the fear of the Cold War, a new generation broke free. From the war on terrorism, this generation can birth a new humanity.

You came into this world to inspire a dream-to bestow life into a troubled world. You bring gifts for no option thinking. In the decision to disconnect from humanity's fear and embrace the power of your own unconditional nature, you are the course correction that changes the world.

Can anyone do this?

Evolution is self-selecting. You replace the tree of good and evil with the tree of life when you know that you can. If you are reading these words, the chances are you have already decided. Your dream for humanity is in front of you. You are ready to make leaps and bounds. Your need to blame is done. Your child-like student-innocent and curious-steps forward as the new occupant on your personality seat. You can author your own life. You have the ability to infuse life into a fearful world. Releasing your negative ego, you discover the magnificence of who you are.

When there is one person able to trust and respect unconditionally, the vision of a new humanity appears. One person healing the separation, one person ending the blame, one person embracing their birthright to author their own life-one person discovering their own magnificent humanity-ensures the future of this world.

In gratitude and appreciation, you launch your inspired dream and create a new human magnificence.

"Carry out random acts of kindness, with no expectations of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you."

~ Princess Diana
