Fire the Grid--heal the planet (Page 5 of 10)

The earth is just fine, its people that are the problem, backwards again

At some point, I think a distinction needs to be made between living from the soul and acting from the ego.

Not only that, but by participating in this mass meditation, one would fulfill the occult rule of "permission", which is that no one can do anything to you without your permission.  These well-meaning folks will be "selling their souls to the devil", to use an old and trite, but oh-so-true in this instance,  phrase.

I guess for me, what I see is an attempt to attract a much wider "walk of life" than is typical in these "spiritual ideas", and in that sense, it's hard to explain but I "get it". It's about planting a seed, generating a new line of possibility... in levels of society where that sort of thing has gone by the wayside. And where much of what we (those on the path for a while, awake and aware) might expect to see written or said... wouldn't fly or would act as a barrier. (How many wise old sage phrases does the average Joe "get" or want to try to "get"?)

I realize that many here see this as a having a negative potential... but I think we're past that in ways we'll only start to realize in the next few years. The feeling I get, which granted I can't measure or hold out as proof of anything, is that it really doesn't matter what might have occurred with such a thing in the past. That "power" we all have studied and explored to the nth degree... has waned to a large extent. It can't pull from an uplifting possibility as it might have been able to in the past.

Which is why this has raised such an energetic ruckus of sorts, is the sense I'm getting. People can feel something changing (people not necessarily awake before now), and now there's a positive possibility to connect their feeling with, right at the start of their awakening... rather than doomsday predictions and armageddon.

At just the right moment, they're presented with an event of upliftment to choose because they can and it's there... and it may well exist because of all the work done by so many prior to this new wave of awakeners. Masses of people around the globe interested in focusing their energy on something everyone can benefit from, individually and collectively, without the need for a ticket, baptism, tithe, tax, specific dogma (despite what many here are claiming imo), university degree, celebrity, credit rating, political association, national id, societal distinction of any kind... as a vote for themselves in their life. Their heart's desire, not someone else's agenda. And they just need to choose to focus on their version of joy/goodness/love whatever... for an hour of their life. Yes, a specific hour, but that's just to get everyone's input at the same time. A collective agreement for something positive, expressed in unison.

Did we think all our efforts were for naught? Goodness knows many of us have put all we have into this path! So we have the option to realize this event as a harbinger of a positive shift, finally, after a very, very long time of working in the trenches with no end in sight and no real change to feel rewarded by as we use our lives to make change in a world we love. (The natural world, I mean. Like sunsets and sunrises, oceans and birds singing, gentle breezes and crickets, mountains and... well... you get the picture. How great would it be to experience, in this lifetime, a freedom to enjoy this world that we've never had the luxury of indulging in before?)

(and before someone dimisses me as naive, I've been on this path consciously for nearly 3 decades before coming to this recent set of statements... indicating there's a substance to it beyond the words written. I've seen what most of you have, explored it all... and still find this positive perspective to have merit at this intense time on the planet)

And as I mentioned earlier, it matters not if someone's tacked on "save the planet" or anything else to this moment, as part of the reason to do this. It's an opportunity to use or not according to one's own intent-filled choice. The power in that is being missed by those who focus instead on "the other guys' agenda".

And there is an enormous "green movement" being pummeled into the mass consciousness right now - regardless of the real reason for it. It's now there, stirring people's hearts and agitating the status quo. Tapping into that mass consciousness motion in order to trigger an urge to make a positive difference in one's life is just as much a "call to the heart of truth" as all the efforts so many have put forth for so long to debunk the lies and programming. The heart is beyond those petty focuses, and triggering the heart to wake up a yearning for a life worth living is not a bad thing any way you look at it.

If I may offer a small correction, the save the planet meme was not tacked on, it is the whole basis for the event.  When she was first instructed to do this project she was told, and forgive me if the quote is not exact but it was something like "we can save the dying planet the same way you saved your son."  So it seems to me for one to fully support this project, accepting the concept that the earth is dying is essential.  It is the side-stepping of the dying planet idea which seems to have been tacked on later.,

And yes indeed, we are being pummeled with the green movement and I am skeptical of much of that as well, because blaming human activity for natural climate change is an absolutely ideal justification for the government or whatever global council to take our freedoms away.  In fact, that is just how ftg struck me, as more pummeling with the green, hence my strong negative reaction to the dying planet thingy.

I appreciate your input Aquarius, thank you.

It is difficult to explain symbology, I've found over a long period of attempting to do so, but when thought-forms beyond this level (and some here with awareness) talk of "the planet", bear in mind that there is a deeper, more hyperdimensional meaning than what is literally understood. In fact, the planet itself, in all it's material magnificence, is but a symbol of something far more intimate to us all than we often understand. It's existence is intimately tied to the truth of who we are. Again, too nebulous a concept without concrete explanation for most to entertain, I understand. However true.

So while I understand and appreciate all the protestations and mention of attachment of this or that to this event, and have no issue with people not participating for their reasons, I have just felt a desire and an urge to express ideas around this that are often left out in intellectual discussions of this sort.

We've moved so far from a "divine" or "cosmic" understanding of life at this level, and so far from our "right relationship" to it, that we've lost our sense of what all these symbols we speak of really pertain to, or why they matter in a truer sense.

"Luminous Beings are we... not this gross matter"

I don't worry about the planet personally, btw, and know it to be something without need of being saved in any sense of the word. Same as all of us, actually. So I completely appreciate suspicion rising when that "cause" is used. That said.... it sparked Shelley Yates to wake up and speak up with caring about something greater than just herself, something that unifies all people where she never would have previously, and I see that as no small matter. Life works with us where we're at. That doesn't make it negative, just pragmatic and practically effective. Call that an agenda if you'd like.. but again, the downside of inviting millions to focus on positivity for themselves and the (symbolic) orb everyone exists upon here... is really non-existent.

You know... the earth really does unify us in a certain sense... caring for it as a means of caring for "the world" (of people, who are all One in truth) because we're a part of it even as it is One entity... is a metaphor of sorts... Those triggered by the plight of earth, or in love with Gaia, et al, are at a certain level of soul evolution with a certain conscious awareness that is accessible at this dense level of life. We're facing yet another emanation of "The Wave"... these folks are at a different level of awakening... what triggers one's heart and sense of truth or desire to wake up will be different depending on where one is at.

To view what isn't where you're at as negative or potentially a trap... is understandable. Not necessarily true, but understandable, certainly. It would feel like a trap for many to "fall into" that level of belief, participation, involvement, investment... because they exist at a different frequency vibration. But this sense that it isn't right for you... doesn't make it bad. That's all.

And again... just because that's why they're choosing to focus positively for an hour with so many others... doesn't mean it has to be your reason for doing so. If you fear falling into someone else's agenda for you... well then, yeah. You probably should sit this out. But if you know your intent and the stuff you're made of, that fear is just not that powerful and has no power over the truth of who you are or the love that gave birth to you, choose to join in, have fun and enjoy it.

Sowelu,  contrary to your repeated assertions that some of us are operating from FEAR here, I and some others here are merely reacting to what we have observed by watching the videos and reading the website.  You, on the other hand, are knowingly and willfully ignoring and minimizing the core concept behind the FTG movement - that core concept being that "the planet is dying" - and instead reacting to your own fantasy of what such a movement COULD mean.  Not that I'm saying you're wrong to do so.  Free will and all that.

I do not fear your participation at all in this exercise because I know it will have no effect whatsoever on me.  That's what it is, I think... an exercise, an experiment, another test of mankind's willingness to sign a contract without reading the fine print or to follow the pied piper while ignoring the warning signs.   

Speaking more generally now, this movement is, among other things, a very interesting exercise in the use of language.  Oh, and large colored fonts too.  *rolls eyes upwards*  When Shelley talks about Project Cause, she repeatedly uses the word "funnel."  She asserts that one big cause is much better than 20,000 little causes.  She didn't use the word charity, but that is what came to mind listening to her, that she is referring to a sort of really big United Way.  Now, that makes me wonder why funneling everything through one big cause is preferable to all the little causes.  Easier siphoning off and diversion of cash and  other resources comes to mind as well as the big one... CONTROL of the flow.  It's very easy to cut off the entire flow when everything is funneled through one organization.  I predict that the future will bring donation requests and there will be hefty administrative salaries for the founders.

The above is not fear talking at all... no, instead it is a valid logical reaction to what is there.  Now some may call it cynicism, and that's okay.  But that doesn't mean my cynicism is misplaced, inappropriate or fear-based.
