The Starfish

From The Lifespring Foundation

A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and spent much of his time exploring the seashore. One day he learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.

The day of the tide, he went down to the beach and began picking up stranded starfish and throwing them back into the sea. An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what he was doing. "I'm saving the starfish," the boy proudly declared.

When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you young man, but if you look down the beach one way, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look down the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."

The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up a starfish, tossed it out into the ocean and said, "I sure made a difference for that one."

Free Energy Of The Heart

Looking carefully around at how people generally behave I began to consider is human behaviour a product of the society, or is the society a product of human behaviour? Leaving the philosphical for a moment, I walked into town to buy a loaf of bread. Practical and simple in execution, one would imagine ...

The lady serving was alone and I waited patiently in line, behind the two people ahead of me. I am not the kind of person who tramples and boxes others out of the way. I have and show a respect for life, living according to an ancient principle: "Do unto others." And, no! I am not and have never been a soldier for religion or religious practices. I simply am!

Life is all around us. A living intelligence. A mirror. Actually life is a living holographic mirror. We walk around in bodies, but we are more than the sum of our parts. I was not thinking about the implications that we make society and that society is a product of who we are. I was waiting for bread. Life had other ideas in mind. Within its holographic mind, which is also part of our consciousness.

The lady serving the bread was a bit stressed, as she had to serve people coffee and heat snacks. Plus she was alone and more people were arriving. New people arriving began to push forward and a string reaction followed of everyone wanting to be first. That was when I began to pay attention and consider who we are, what are our values and why does brutality exist at all?

This world is a pretty brutal place. To get ahead one has to push and elbow ones way to the top, especially when one does not have the skills to make things work any other way. Sort of like the new German Government that is presently trying to form a "coalition". Nikola Tesla dropped into oblivion, while scientists like Albert Einstein were hailed as "geniuses". I wonder if truly skilled and gifted men elbow their way into position? Probably not!

As I waited to buy my bread the small amount of people grew to nine and then ten. They came from all sides and they all wanted to be first. So, I waited. I was watching the woman trying to serve them all under stress. No one seemed to question their behaviour, none of the people seemed to be aware of themselves. No one seemed to be aware that the woman serving was a human being. I watched the fanatical crowd of: "I want", and I was looking at society broken into its individual parts.

I sense that the only fanatical religion is: "I want." Give it what clothing and ideology you want, but the fundamental motivation grinding the mind into fanatical obediance is - I want!

There came a point where the lady serving the bread was able to turn to me and ask me what I want. In that moment an ugly voice screamed over from a far corner that it was to be served next. An argument was about to ensue, but not from me ... when I suggested that the ugly voice be served and finished and that we all remain calm ... after all why get upset and argue? At which point I said to the lady serving it is best to be of good heart and not get drawn into others peoples misery. In other words: "Stay out of it". In this way I was able to deactivate violence with good spirits and a calm mind.

The fact is that stress and causing stress in others, can and does cause disease. Not only psychological disease, which is obvious, but physical disease. I would imagine that one person with goodness in their heart can transform sickness into health. The current problem for mankind is that there are so few of us around. The difficulty for most people is that goodness is not the word and is not an intellectual concept, but is a state of mind arising out of a state of heart.

When goodness and a gentle heart can bring peace to a situation, why do we choose violence? It was the same sickness at work when Tesla was working to create what he called: Free energy. By this he meant that his inventions could store natural and abundant supplies of energy from the earth and transmit that energy to every house. The energy is available. It is everywhere and all around you. It is the same energy we humans gather in order to do good. But because people have separated themselves from the earths intelligence, otherwise known as love, their behaviour and unlimately that of society has fallen into disrepair.

Humans have become so mean and so greedy that everything is dying around us, fresh water supplies are drying up, farmland is turning to desert ... and the physical earth conditions are beginning to reflect (or mirror) the humans themselves. Towns and cities have become cancerous growths on the face of the earth, rather than places of beauty. It seems to be a touch of irony that the one creature on earth that has glass mirrors in every home has grown to be the ugliest of all the earths creatures. Beatuy is a harmonic of the heart. Dis-resonance can only be corrected by the entity feeding the signal out into the aether.

Behind the eyes of the brutal people I saw fear, and a kind of madness. I saw trapped spirits gorging themselves on material wealth and forgetting that the soul exists. I saw beings walking through life in human bodies, who have forgotten that they are first and foremost beings of spirit and that the physical reality is the vehicle allowing them to experience these worlds. We are time travellers who periodically inhabit physical existence. Who periodically forget that we are who we are.

Atlantis According To Plato

O Solon, Solon, you Hellenes are never anything but children, and there is not an old man among you. Solon in return asked him what he meant. "I mean to say," he replied, "that in mind you are all young; there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with age. And I will tell you why."

"There have been, and will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes; the greatest have been brought about by the agencies of fire and water, and other lesser ones by innumerable other causes. There is a story, which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Paethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving in the heavens around the earth, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth, which recurs after long intervals; at such times those who live upon the mountains and in dry and lofty places are more liable to destruction than those who dwell by rivers or on the seashore. And from this calamity the Nile, who is our never-failing savior, delivers and preserves us.

"When, on the other hand, the gods purge the earth with a deluge of water, the survivors in your country are herdsmen and shepherds who dwell on the mountains, but those who, like you, live in cities are carried by the rivers into the sea. Whereas in this land, neither then nor at any other time, does the water come down from above on the fields, having always a tendency to come up from below; for which reason the traditions preserved here are the most ancient. The fact is, that wherever the extremity of winter frost or of summer does not prevent, mankind exist, sometimes in greater, sometimes in lesser numbers. And whatever happened either in your country or in ours, or in any other region of which we are informed ~ if there were any actions noble or great or in any other way remarkable, they have all been written down by us of old, and are preserved in our temples.

"Whereas just when you and other nations are beginning to be provided with letters and the other requisites of civilized life, after the usual interval, the stream from heaven, like a pestilence, comes pouring down, and leaves only those of you who are destitute of letters and education; and so you have to begin all over again like children, and know nothing of what happened in ancient times, either among us or among yourselves. As for those genealogies of yours which you just now recounted to us, Solon, they are no better than the tales of children.

"In the first place you remember a single deluge only, but there were many previous ones; in the next place, you do not know that there formerly dwelt in your land the fairest and noblest race of men which ever lived, and that you and your whole city are descended from a small seed or remnant of them which survived. And this was unknown to you, because, for many generations, the survivors of that destruction died, leaving no written word. For there was a time, Solon, before the great deluge of all, when the city which now is Athens was first in war and in every way the best governed of all cities, is said to have performed the noblest deeds and to have had the fairest constitution of any of which tradition tells, under the face of heaven."

Solon marveled at his words, and earnestly requested the priests to inform him exactly and in order about these former citizens. "You are welcome to hear about them, Solon," said the priest, "both for your own sake and for that of your city, and above all, for the sake of the goddess who is the common patron and parent and educator of both our cities. She founded your city a thousand years before ours, receiving from the Earth and Hephaestus the seed of your race, and afterwards she founded ours, of which the constitution is recorded in our sacred registers to be eight thousand years old.
