Dear Friends,

please, help me out.
I wanted to open a vision cafe myself here in Jamaica and hoped to go to Uganda this summer, too. Due to largely personal and technical problems I was kind of left behind though, because I only have a slow cell phone gprs-connection and can never get the patience to download videoclips (it seems to take two days for a 5 minute clip) and on vision force evrything seemed to be in video clips.

So I drifted away from vision force waiting for better times with ADSL or satellite internet.

Nevertheless I created phantasies about producing video clips myself in order to spread my message of recovering the spirit with mindfulness, EFT, and New Thought practices as my blog decribes.
,
Now Michael actually brings out or rather advertizes a shoppingcart program that is supposed to make video-ebooks easy to market and promises to ease the colllection of thousands of email adresses.

So, everything super, isn't it?
I am in business and short of becoming an email millionaire.

Too bad I changed my mind again.  In the mean time I have been reading to many news while I have been searching the net. And I am tired of trying to become rich and the top spiritual marketeer. Besides that I don't know what to sell through all these emails, and I rather give away what I have to offer anyway.

So my problem is this:

Uganda is under water,and I don't want to market wonderful ideas (and little booklets and postcards on the side) just in order to get rich. And I don't see how the effective marketing of my spiritual self healing program does one bit for Uganda and for equal opportunity in the world.

At the same time  stock market specualtion is taking over the world, while the American ruling elite is getting ready to expand it's war into Iran in order to scare everybody into one line of American nationalism behind "the great president" and the western world.  When that takes off in a few months, all we need is a smart New Age power addict and ideologist who knows how to sell an idea of a New World order installed by "the grand American people" to get enough backing and expand the war into a movement that suppresses all opposition to American hegemony and let sus end up with a development as the world experienced under Hitler. Do you see what I mean?

The war in Irak is not about the oil, oil can be bought with cash. And it's not a war of Christians versus moslems, that's the cover for the future maybe, it is about who is the strongest and who controls the largest areas in a future world government, America or China?

It seems to me we better stop sitting at the sidelines too long without speaking up if we want a democratic world resulting out of current politics.

Peace is now.

And if there is no peace now , there is conflict.

There is nothing in between, only ideologies which serve to blame the other side.

 Don't we need to start mobilizing the democratic forces for peace in the world now?

How about a World Peace Party with chapters in every country?

I am ready to start it right now. Just to get out of the depression.

Or how do you see that - zaadzsters?

Is this a relapse into the ideologies of the seventies or is this really happening?

Please help me out.

And give me a vote by signing up as friend of a United Peace Party, now.

Today I see that what I wrote yesterday about my fears of the expansion of war is a relapse, a relapse into old ideologies from the seventies, a relapse into thinking that was based on fear and the dialectices of fighting for good aginst evil. Which requires something to fight against in order to feel good about my own struggles, of course. So that thing I am fighting  must be evil, or how can I be good and right?

After a few years of studying Science of Mind and preaching Oneness, I should have known that seeing the forces that strive for control of the world as the problem only gives them power, and that I need to let go of the past and the negatives to find a better way to live. But i also knew that I still have difficulties (speak: resistance) to the teaching that we always need to deny the negative.

Ernest Holmes says it all the time: don't think about the problem, only think of the solution. Affirm the positve, deny the negative. And when I stop to look at it I know he is right and that the negative is never real. It is always an invention of my fantasy based on fear.

Like when I am sick and get worried about getting sicker. I go into fear, project pain, suffering and death into my future and if i get myself scared enough my immune system will be so compromised that i actually might die. That way I prove to myself that it was real, that my fears were justified and never have the opportunity to find out that it works the other way too. If I deny the sickness, convince myself that i am filled with life energy and nothing can harm me, i have a good chance to recover in the shortest time. And prove that i am right again.

That's how we always prove to be right in what we think. Except that we exclude the other half of the possibilities and the world. And forget that whatever we fight we make stronger.

And that's what i forgot in my fear yesterday. The war is only real if most people live in fear and call it real, because if they weren't in fear they wouldn't show up. They would laugh about a small group of people trying to take over a future world government and talk to their neighbors and get rid of the power addicts. Then they would talk to the other side who really wants peace too, but who are too afraid so that they respond with weapons rather than with laughter,make a peace agreement and work things out. Bombs and guns never worked out anything, they only keep peole in fear and away from talking things through.
So all iIneed to do is to get out of the fearful fantasies and trust that we can work it out..

So, sorry for the alarm.

Let's stay positive, and affirm that all fear is unreal.

How did that go in the "Course in Miracles":

Only love is real.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Therein lies the peace of Mind.
(Well, i guess it was God, wasn't it.? But that's one and the same anyway.)

Thanks for listening.

After two days of self searching and treating myself with EFT I remember that I am only doing it to myself. That it's only my thoughts that create my feelings and that peace lies in right thinking and letting go of the fear.

And then I found some resources in my files which say it much better than I can,
For example :"Free Yourself From Fear," a free download article at Openheart Press

P.S.:
I still want you for my Society of Friends Network (tagged SOFN) to teach peaceful living to one another and help each other to stay out of the fears.

One Mind, One Love,

Mikael
