OK, I know it&#8217;s not May 11, but we&#8217;re not far off.  Interesting to note anyway.</font></font></p>

Or, they just can&#8217;t hide it anymore.  Or, these governments are all in cahoots to completely deceive us all, masterminding some kind of worldwide deception, a la </font></font><a href="http://www.geocities.com/area51/shadowlands/6583/bluebeam.html"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"><u><strong>Project Bluebeam</strong></u></font></font></a><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">, to consolidate power and hypnotize us for awhile longer yet, so that we don&#8217;t notice all the other possibilities around us, like escape to a higher dimension, for example.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">The </font></font><a href="http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?AuthorID=37867"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"><u><strong>religious question</strong></u></font></font></a><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"> always comes to mind, which is why it&#8217;s interesting to note when the Vatican noses in on UFO questions, as it </font></font><a href="http://www.synethics.com/news/balducci.htm"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"><u><strong>has done before</strong></u></font></font></a><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">.  Religion has been used as a way to control and conform, and certainly the Catholic Church is keen enough to keep a hold onto theirs, so their participation in this manipulation is not surprising.  If something is coming and they know it (and you can be sure, </font></font><a href="http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_secretumomega02.htm"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"><em><u><strong>they would know</strong></u></em></font></font></a><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">), they are going to want to be in on it all from the get-go.  Many people have theorized about aliens in the Bible, suspicious entities behind the New Age movement, ancient genetic engineering, and interspecies warfare. Contact will change everything we think we know both in terms of history, science and technology, not to mention politics and religion.   It&#8217;s a very delicate subject that might need to be reinterpreted for the next era, if the present powers want to play a role.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">So, if the aliens do finally land on the White House lawn, who is ultimately responsible for helping us believe this is a good thing?  Whose agenda would this be serving?  Should we be paying attention to the fact that these things might be happening just before a much-anticipated theorized shift in consciousness in 2012?  Does the timing have anything to do with Planet X, global warming, world war or some other kind of potential global catastrophe?  Should we trust our government if they support our new space brothers?  Should we be wary if they don&#8217;t?</font></font></p>

This meeting was  </font></font><a href="http://www.opednews.com/articles/life_a_michael__080229_french_expert_public.htm"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"><u><strong>corroborated by a French aviator </strong></u></font></font></a><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">involved in the talks, and then later had to be </font></font><a href="http://exopolitics.org/Exo-Comment-69.htm"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"><u><strong>clarified</strong></u></font></font></a><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"> as sources were withdrawn.  Perhaps it is as </font></font><a href="http://exopolitics.org/Exo-Comment-64.htm"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"><u><strong>Dr. Salla had previously noted,</strong></u></font></font></a><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"> as well as </font></font><a href="http://www.aero2012.com/en/about.html"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"><u><strong>Dr. Greer</strong></u></font></font></a><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"> of the Disclosure Project, that divulging the truth of alien visitations might also unveil the truth about alternate energy sources, which the current powers-that-be don&#8217;t want for obvious reasons.  </font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">UFO disclosure doesn&#8217;t make me giddy.  It makes me very serious, concerned and thoughtful.  Once one gets past the idea that there are such entities, one quickly finds talk of the </font></font><a href="http://whale.to/b/blue.html"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2"><u><strong>many alien races.</strong></u></font></font></a><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">  If that is the case there are likely many different agendas, possibly varying philosophies, capabilities and wisdom, and they might not all be love, peace and harmony.  </font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">If they did seem loving, peaceful and helpful, that would be great; I&#8217;d like to hear them tell us about the latent and inherent powers we all possess, as spiritual beings, to rise above our present condition.  These are truths referred to by our greatest spiritual sages, and ones I&#8217;ve experienced firsthand.  Therefore, I wouldn&#8217;t want to see them set themselves up as the new powers-that-be.   We don&#8217;t need an alien messiah bringing another round of brainwashing.</font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">On the other hand, I will accept there may be some good guys out there.  Who knows if they&#8217;re interplanetary or interdimensional – or even both.  They may indeed arrive to remind us of peace and love.   Perhaps they might even teach us some interesting science and technology that could better our world.  But certainly not if it demands our reverence or worship, or an even further consolidation of our world&#8217;s elite power structure.  The subject is so enormously complicated and full of implications we haven&#8217;t thought of yet, we all need to be extremely careful what bandwagon we jump on.  </font></font></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><font face="Verdana, sans-serif"><font style="font-size: 10pt" size="2">Going back to Stephen Hawking; let&#8217;s not assume anything.  If there are aliens and they do make their presence known, let&#8217;s not rush into anything.  Be discerning.  Be wise, thoughtful and balanced.  Be open-minded, but not gullible.  Ask the right questions.  Even if they tempt us with radical free energy devices or world peace; be forewarned.  Things may not always be as they seem.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">“<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>They definitely do not want us to learn to Surf the Tao, for then we would no longer be victims to their abuse.” <em>- Surfing the Tao: A Revolution of Free Will</em></strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">My husband, who is a bit older than I am, commented this morning that if someone went to sleep in 1950 and woke up today, they&#8217;d think the world had gone frigging insane.  I suppose you could say that about any stretch of time in history, but as I pondered his frustration I realized in this case, he really could be correct.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Since most of us haven&#8217;t been asleep for decades, we generally absorb the changes and news as they come without too much trouble.  The paradigm shift happens slowly, so that most people don&#8217;t really notice it&#8217;s happening until they look back and remember what used to be.  Certainly there are major events that shift the paradigm rapidly and radically, like 9/11, and can be a bit more difficult to adjust to.  But just consider news from the past few years – genetically modified foods, millions dying from hunger and poverty while a few elite get even richer, transhumanism, a military that admits testing on its own citizens and is creating new weaponry that threatens the brain wave patterns of entire populations, robot wars, weather modification, nanotechnology and implanted control chips, pharmaceuticals, wars over oil,  disappearing children, genocides, economic collapse&#8230;the horrors seem to grow by the day and few seem to notice.  We flip the channel from the daily body count to tabloid news without blinking.  It&#8217;s not as much that we&#8217;ve grown numb to these things as much as this has simply become our paradigm.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It got me daydreaming about what our &#8216;paradigm&#8217; was truly meant to be like, and maybe could have been, if we really did live in conscious rhythm with the harmony or harmonics of the universe – if we really did Surf the Tao, so to speak.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It also made me realize that it&#8217;s quite possible, in fact in my personal opinion it&#8217;s quite evident, that our paradigm has been under attack for quite awhile.   It&#8217;s as if we are tired and want to go to sleep, but there&#8217;s someone constantly poking at us and making noise and stuff.  Or perhaps the opposite; we are trying to wake up from a nightmare but someone keeps drugging us.  Either way it&#8217;s very annoying.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I suppose you could argue about the nature of human existence, as many have and continue to do of course, but all I can do is give my opinion as gleaned from my own inner Surfing revelations.  Humans are uniquely capable of an intense, conscious and compassionate loving nature.  Those out there without this consciousness are either 1) not human or B) devoid of spirit.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The not human thing is particularly difficult for many people.  I don&#8217;t really go there on this blog very much, yet I do touch on it quite a bit in my book.  It&#8217;s radical and still outside our mainstream paradigm; yet I feel we are in the process of conditioning by the Paradigm Police in preparation for this next radical shift (science fiction as entertainment, UFO videos whether real or hoaxed, more and more people &#8216;channeling&#8217; one or another type of being, certain &#8216;disclosure projects&#8217;, etc).  In my opinion the evidence is quite strong that are other, non-human, highly evolved, sentient beings involved in our global affairs, directly with our heads of state or business, and/or from extradimensional realms into our own consciousness.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Whether they come from outer space, cloud nine or even the inner earth is irrelevant.  What matters is what they are telling us.  Because as every good Trekkie know, the #1 Prime Directive is <em>don&#8217;t interfere with a more primitive civilization.</em> Period.  If they are, they&#8217;re either pushing their own selfish agendas, or claiming that they are attempting to &#8216;save us&#8217; from such interference.  I am leery of both; I see it much like our own political scene, in which it <em>seems </em>like there are two sides but in reality there is only one puppet master manipulating us into the position he wants.  Again, within my own spirit, I have the sense that very few, if any, of &#8216;them&#8217;, are Surfing the Tao.  The real good guys know the truth about our present reality; it is illusory and impermanent anyway.  It&#8217;s not really the job of any enlightened being to tell us directly what to do or how to think, aside from love.  They never tell you what to do or where to go.  They are the very opposite of the Paradigm Police.  They want us to sense and follow the Great Rhythm from within our own hearts.  It&#8217;s like the old saying; give a man a fish, he eats for a day.  Teach him to fish and he&#8217;ll eat for a lifetime. That&#8217;s why those who insinuate themselves upon us for their own gain are the most insidious of all.  They are interfering with the very Rhythm of the Tao itself, instead forcing their own agenda-laden paradigm upon a naïve and unwitting population.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As for B) devoid of spirit; well, talk about unwitting.  It&#8217;s pretty obvious most people live today without any spiritual awareness at all, thanks to the Paradigm Police and their swanky, third-dimensional stage set up by our world&#8217;s elite, who profit from our ignorance and resultant powerlessness.  Of course there are many varieties of spirituality out there today and many conscious, loving souls who work hard to stay above water in a material world flooded with distractions and physical stimuli.  And yet, for the most part, our world&#8217;s spiritual paths have long been infiltrated; they are sterile, third-dimensional, close-minded, traditional, political, hierarchical, cultural and habit-based practices that in most cases leave the real spirit generally uninvolved.  It leaves that empty place within ourselves open to harassment from other sources.  If we don&#8217;t even realize or believe we have spirits, they are in danger of being usurped for other agendas.  Nature abhors a vacuum.  That&#8217;s where the nasty side of human behavior comes from; without conscious love, people are susceptible to cruel, criminal behavior – as well as simple blind acceptance of the status quo.  Lack of spiritual awareness leaves one open to interference from the Paradigm Police.  It keeps us from two very important realizations: that our world has become completely ridiculous, and that we have the power to do something about it.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Looking back throughout history one sees evidence that there has always been those who attempt to harness and control and mindsets of the people of the time.  Most have done this through politics, war, culture, etc – though some have tried to teach us otherwise, i.e. Jesus, Buddha and others.  Unfortunately even their messages have been turned upside down by the powers-that-be.  Ours is a winding road replete with detours, roadblocks and misleading signs; and yet, if we truly stop and listen to our Higher Selves, we will realize the Way is not Out There, it is Within Us.  This truly would be a revolution of free will.  If just one person at a time were to wake up and take away the power of the Paradigm Police our world would begin to shift, perhaps upwards to a place we have yet to imagine.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">“<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>If powerful men and women could remain centered in the Tao, all things would be in harmony.  The world would become a paradise.  All people would be at peace, and the law would be written in their hearts.” <em>- Tao Te Ching #32</em></strong></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">“<strong>When a superior man hears of the Tao, he immediately begins to embody it.  When an average man hears of the Tao, he half believes it, half doubts it.  When a foolish man hears of the Tao, he laughs out loud.  If he didn&#8217;t laugh, it wouldn&#8217;t be the Tao.” -<em>Tao Te Ching #41</em></strong></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">It has come to my attention, through various conversations of my own as well as some that other people have related to me, that the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/surthetao-20/detail/0061142662/104-0869601-1025558"><em>Tao Te Ching</em></a> remains unknown to a very large portion of the population.  Several people have asked me recently, which book has influenced me most in my life; my response is always the TTC and often I get blank looks.  I realize that my path is less traveled, and I suppose we all get caught up in our own research; however, it&#8217;s a shame that this small collection of verses takes a back shelf in today&#8217;s world.  The Tao is an enigma, no doubt; but regardless of one&#8217;s religion or personal philosophy, I highly recommend picking up a copy and giving it a read.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">It doesn&#8217;t matter what religion you follow; this tiny volume is densely packed with honest, down-to-earth wisdom.  Often particular religions are strict about avoiding any texts aside outside of their own particular manual; Christians often fall into this category, to my endless disappointment.  Frankly it&#8217;s a big reason why I tend not to associate myself with this particular organized religion, even though I do happen to retain some of their basic beliefs.  God is greater than any religion, I always say.  It&#8217;s not Lao Tzu&#8217;s fault he lived thousands of years before Christ.  Unfortunately, as well-meaning and kind as they can be, Christians are often the most close-minded of all religious groups in terms of their unwillingness to  investigate beyond what their sect has dictated to them.  Personally I think many Christians would be surprised how similar Lao Tzu&#8217;s words are to those of Jesus, and there is a great book, “<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/surthetao-20/detail/1569753199/104-0869601-1025558">Jesus and Lao Tzu: the Parallel Sayings</a>” which describes this most succinctly.  Another enlightening book is “<a href="http://astore.amazon.com/surthetao-20/detail/1887904239/104-0869601-1025558">Christ, the Eternal Tao</a>”, which was written by a monk.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">It&#8217;s imperative that all people of all faiths open their hearts and minds in order to avoid deception in the future.  Truly this is part of my mission – perhaps the most important part.  Real truth comes from within yourself, not from any outer source – therefore not even the TTC contains the &#8216;whole truth&#8217;, though it does provide a wider scope with which one&#8217;s inner self could expand awareness.  All books, including the Bible, are tools, not ends in themselves.  But putting limitations on the information and understanding we allow ourselves is exactly what the powers-that-be want us to be doing.  If you think standard Christianity hasn&#8217;t been usurped by power-mongers and a suspicious elite, starting with the &#8216;compiling&#8217; of the Bible in the fourth century, you have quite a bit of research ahead of you.  (For that matter I take modern Taoism with a grain of salt as well; many sects have now become more like cults and one must always be on guard.)</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Non-spiritual people also tend to neglect the TTC.  But in truth it&#8217;s more a book of philosophy, or Way of Life, not a religion.  FYI the book is not a long read, nor is it controversial – it&#8217;s a small collection of 81 verses, all of which touch your spirit uniquely and lovingly.  Often I open to a random page and look for whatever wisdom Lao Tzu gives me that day; I do the same thing with the Bible at times, as well as the <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/surthetao-20/detail/0915132397/104-0869601-1025558"><em>Upanishads</em></a>, <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/surthetao-20/detail/0877738513/104-0869601-1025558"><em>The Art of Peace</em></a>, and other spiritual texts.  I&#8217;ve read them all cover-to-cover by now, and though some might scorn me for using them as oracles; too bad.  It works for me, and I don&#8217;t hesitate to recommend the method to others.  If you&#8217;re looking for spiritual awareness and don&#8217;t know where to start, the <em>Tao Te Ching</em> is probably the softest touch.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">If I can do anything with my blog, perhaps the single most important thing is to pass on this recommendation.  If you&#8217;re curious about the Tao; if you&#8217;re stuck in your religion and want to get into your spirit; if you have no spiritual inclinations at all but are looking for inspiration – this is the book for you.  If interpretation proves difficult, send me a note and I&#8217;ll help as much as I can – but I will say, each person is going to absorb the wisdom differently, and it&#8217;s actually an excellent tool for awakening your own spirit and sense of discernment.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Happy reading!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="2">Prophecy is a difficult subject for me, not because I think it’s not  possible, but simply because there are so many false voices out there that a lot  of disinformation and propaganda gets let in through the open doors. I mean, how  many times have people set a date for the end of the world in the past? Don’t  get me started on that one. </font></p>
<p><font size="2">On the other hand, I do believe many people will be able to determine without  much difficulty some of the likely events that are to come. It doesn’t take a  psychic to see there will probably be another really big, terrible “</font><a href="http://www.abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=3336148"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">terrorist</font></u></a><font size="2">”  attack sometime in the near future. All you have to do is read the news. </font></p>
<p><font size="2">It’s also pretty clear we are being groomed for </font><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_government"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">world government</font></u></a><font size="2">.  Right now,  fear is being used to great advantage towards that goal. However, and  unfortunately, so is love and what people see as “doing the right thing”. For  example, some believe </font><a href="http://www.newgreenorder.info/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">environmental issues</font></u></a><font size="2"> are one way to  manipulate us into accepting world government. I mentioned in a </font><a href="http://surfingthetao.com/2007/06/25/deep-integration-the-coming-north-american-union/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">past post</font></u></a><font size="2"> that  immigration is noted by some as a machination for the North American Union,  which is one stop closer to world government. After watching some of </font><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEFoq_5RbC4&amp;mode=related&amp;search="><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">Michael Moore’s</font></u></a><font size="2"> new </font><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joaAfBr9tAE&amp;NR=1"><em><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">Sicko</font></u></em></a><font size="2">, I realized with at start that the  health care issue will likely be another turning point in that debate. Clever,  they are. </font></p>
<p><font size="2">At some point, we will be so fatigued from war, terrorist threats, economic  hardship, weather-related disasters, hunger, poverty and whatever other such  things you can think of, that the world will </font><a href="http://infowars.net/articles/june2007/250607study.htm"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">begin to clamor</font></u></a><font size="2"> for a </font><a href="http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/btunitednationsra/355.php?nid=&amp;id=&amp;pnt=355&amp;lb=btun"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">strong world union</font></u></a><font size="2"> that will make all those issues as well as health care, environmental  pollution and even </font><a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/tna/2002/09-23-2002/vo18no19_religion.htm"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">religious  division</font></u></a><font size="2"> a thing of the past. The </font><a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/07/01/weu101.xml"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">EU</font></u></a><font size="2"> is quite  far along on this path, and North America, </font><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASEAN"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">Asia</font></u></a><font size="2"> and </font><a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/6260274.stm"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">Africa</font></u></a><font size="2"> are  close behind.

It’s not secret any longer; it’s just not discussed every night on CNN. I pay  attention when people like Bob Woodward warn us about the “</font><a href="http://www.collegenews.org/x7064.xml"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">secret government</font></u></a><font size="2">.”  They are hard at work <a href="http://surfingthetao.com/2007/05/14/immanentize-the-eschaton/">immantentizing the eschaton</a>.<br />
</font></p>
<p><font size="2">The hardest part will be, the new order won’t <em>seem</em> bad. In fact it  will </font><a href="http://www.share-international.org/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">seem the very  essence</font></u></a><font size="2"> of love, peace and harmony.

And many </font><a href="http://www.wfm.org/site/index.php/base/main"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">others</font></u></a><font size="2"> are  already being formed in the name of </font><a href="http://itstimetosavetheworld.net/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">saving the planet</font></u></a><font size="2">.  It will be easy to  manipulate the masses with such a scam, especially if they are weary, hungry and  sick &#8211; or even devastated by a worldwide catastrophe like nuclear war or a polar  shift.

And you don’t have to be a believer in the book of Revelation to  be suspicious of that. </font></p>
<p><font size="2">By that time I, and many others like me, will likely be erased from the  Internet. That is why I feel it’s important to pass on these thoughts now. I’m  not claiming to be a prophet or setting any dates; I’m only saying what I think  many others could see too, simply if they read history and today’s headlines. I  can’t say how many years it will take. 2012 casts a big shadow, but I’m not  putting my money there or anywhere. When I search my spirit, though, I am warned  that time is very short. This will be dealt with in our generation. The agenda  is gaining momentum, and personally I give it only a few years, if that.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">I’m not sure why I feel so moved to warn that these things may happen. I feel  if I can do anything besides, it would be to provide moral support, because no  matter what happens, it will still be </font><a href="http://surfingthetao.com/2007/06/28/its-all-good/"><u><font color="#0000ff" size="2">all good</font></u></a><font size="2">. Though I deny my insights are any  deeper or greater than anyone else’s, nor can I prove it to anyone, I will share  that I have had personal experiences that have led me to Know that we are  destined for a bright and wonderful future where these powers-that-be don’t  exist. Just keep walking and Know, this too will pass.  Meanwhile keep Surfing the Tao. Live in love, but pay attention. Have no  fear, but don’t wallow in ignorance. Prepare and protect your loved ones. Simply  <em>Knowing</em> these things will set us free in a way we cannot even begin to  imagine right now.  </font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been reading the letters of Rabindranath Tagore, the Bengali writer/poet most famous in the West for the Nobel Prize he won in 1913 for his collection of poems <span style="font-style:italic;">Gitanjali</span>.  In May, 1933, he wrote to Mahatma Gandhi, &#8220;&#8230;In every important act of his life Buddha preached limitless love for all creatures.  Christ said &#8216;Love thine enemies&#8217; and that teaching of his found its final expression in the words of forgiveness he uttered for those who killed him&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>In 1937, E.J. Thompson was writing a book about Buddhism and commented to Tagore, &#8220;To me it is increasingly clear that what the world needs is to take both Buddha&#8217;s and Christ&#8217;s teaching &#8211; the pity and tenderness of Buddhism supplies what Christianity lacks, in a certain &#8216;hard-boiledness&#8217; (perhaps the fault of Christian nations).  The subtle and many-colored beauty of your own wonderful life interprets Buddhism as nothing else does, and I am glad that I have known you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tagore replied in his letter of the same year, &#8220;&#8230;.I agree with you that both Christ and Buddha embodied in their lives the only true principles that can work for men&#8217;s common good; Buddha&#8217;s insistence on the renunciation of greed creates the necessary condition of the mind in which the love of others ceases to conflict with one&#8217;s own good.  Do you know I have often felt that if we were not Hindus&#8230;I should like my people to be Christians?  Indeed, it is a great pity that Europeans have come to us as imperialists rather than as Christians and so have deprived our people of their true contact with the religion of Jesus Christ&#8230;What a mental torture it is to know that men are capable of loving each other and adding to one another&#8217;s joy, and yet would not!&#8221;</p>
<p>(from <span style="font-style:italic;">Selected Letters of Rabindranath Tagore</span>, Ed. Krishna Dutta and Andrew Robinson, Cambridge University Press, 1997)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>“The Tao …is like the eternal void:  filled with infinite possibilities.” <em>– Tao Te Ching #4</em></strong></p>
<p>Centuries ago everyone knew the world was flat, and that the Earth was the center of the Universe.  The geocentric, or Earth-centered, view of Reality was the leading philosophical and religious belief during the Middle Ages, held since Aristotle.   This view appealed to the human ego, as well as to the powerful religious leaders of the time eager to maintain their authority.  Copernicus started no less than a scientific revolution when he suggested otherwise, and later scientists Bruno and Galileo would suffer greatly for it during the Inquisition.</p>
<p>Why was the Church so intent on refuting evidence that our world, and our species, were not the center of God’s creation?  Of course, because it would disrupt the vast power base they had so carefully constructed, with them in charge not only of the religious, cultural and legal framework of society, but over the concept of Reality itself.  In order for them to retain their power, they had to convince the populace that their power and authority came from God Himself.  To believe otherwise directly confronted their control over the western world at the time, and could be very dangerous.</p>
<p>Surprisingly, in today’s ultra-modern, high-tech world, we find ourselves under similar illusions.  Of course, we all know the world is round, and that it is just one of many planets, in one of many solar systems, in a vast and expanding universe.  However, even though quantum physicists have known for decades that we live in merely one small slice of a much larger dimensional framework, the world at large is for the most part unwilling or unable to comprehend or accept what this revelation could mean to us.  As Lao Tzu wrote, &#8220;true wisdom seems foolish.&#8221;<em> (TTC #45)</em></p>
<p>Such awareness would place us at an even smaller level of importance than we believed we held in medieval times.  And human ego is still hard at work, convinced of our self-centered belief that this is the only world, the only Reality, that we can Know.  Not to mention, the power and authority of our time has just as many reasons to keep us from knowing beyond or present reckoning of Reality as did the Church during the Inquisition.  Our governments and corporations do not want us to acquire awareness outside of their established parameters.  They have too much to lose.</p>
<p>Our wise and ancient sages long ago attempted to open our eyes to a broader concept of Reality, and our true place within it, but their words mean little to today’s short attention spans, media conglomerates, personal gratification and insufferable egos.  If we merely listened carefully to the words of Lao Tzu, Buddha or even Jesus, we might learn that what we term and define as conscious Reality is no more than the resonating ball of light and shade explanation set forth by famous scientists such as Einstein and Tesla.  Lao Tzu wrote, &#8220;seeing into darkness is clarity.&#8221; <em>(TTC #52)</em> Whether explained through spiritual or scientific words, what’s important is the realization that things are not as they seem, and we might we wise to look beyond our physical senses for the ultimate definition of Reality.  If we could set aside our egos, maybe we could live in harmony with each other and our world.  &#8220;If you keep your mind from judging and aren&#8217;t led by the senses, your heart will find peace.&#8221; (#52)</p>
<p>Imagine what an eye-opener it must have been to learn the Earth is round, instead of flat.  Some people may have continued to scoff the idea regardless of scientific evidence.  Today, even the well-educated scoff at the notion of a multitude of dimensional realities.   And this is merely the tip of the iceberg.  As a species, we cannot be said to know even one small percentage of what there is to Know.  How can we argue which religion is right, or which government is best, if we are not even looking in the right places?  Learn from the sages, or learn from the scientists.  Understand the Tao, or the Unified Field.  The real truth of our Reality is within us, within each and every person.  We are part of It, and It is within us.  Read between the lines, and Surf the Tao into a higher awareness of Reality, and a new world of peace.  It’s up to you.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Of all discoveries and opinions, none may have exerted a greater effect on the human spirit than the doctrine of Copernicus. The world had scarcely become known as round and complete in itself when it was asked to waive the tremendous privilege of being the center of the universe. Never, perhaps, was a greater demand made on mankind &#8211; for by this admission so many things vanished in mist and smoke! What became of our Eden, our world of innocence, piety and poetry; the testimony of the senses; the conviction of a poetic &#8211; religious faith? No wonder his contemporaries did not wish to let all this go and offered every possible resistance to a doctrine which in its converts authorized and demanded a freedom of view and greatness of thought so far unknown, indeed not even dreamed of.&#8221; </strong><em><strong>-Goethe</strong><br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Religion is the creation of man. It is how people have defined and structured spirituality in our world. More often than not it has been established and even forced upon people as a means of power and control throughout time, and still today. Within such confines, people are generally not taught how to connect with the Spirit within themselves, rather they are given a set of beliefs, taught specific rituals and to heed a worldly ‘religious’ authority.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Some even say that secret spiritual information (or disinformation) has been passed down from generation to generation within various spiritual organizations, particularly so-called ‘mystery’ religions, placing certain people in positions of power and even subtly misguiding the populace towards false beliefs and priorities. They use metaphysical truth to their advantage, cleverly interlacing it with small lies no one might notice.<span> </span><span>Their love for ritual and control has established strange rites and rituals, not to mention politics, in nearly every religion.  Even the ancient and adored texts have praise for the Tao intermixed with strange stories of alien gods, bent on doing their own will in our dimension.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">There is not one religion on our Earth today that is pure to the Tao, our one &#8216;God&#8217; of love.  They blurred our understanding using semantics and misinterpretations, so even the very word “God” has become corrupt.<span> </span>This has led many to refuse to consider any spiritual or metaphysical truths whatsoever, thereby throwing the proverbial baby out with the bathwater. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">Instead of arguing which religion is ‘right’ (or refusing the investigate them at all), learn the basic truths each has to offer, repeated over and over again by our greatest sages, like Jesus, Lao Tzu, and Buddha.<span> </span>Read their own words, not what others have written about them, or the worldly ‘religions’ created in their wake. Instead, follow their simple Way of life.<span> </span>Live each moment in love and with compassion for your neighbor. Seek a higher awareness within yourself; learn to Surf the Tao and help transform the world.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;">“Ritual is the husk of true faith, the beginning of chaos.” –Tao Te Ching, #38</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: lucida grande">A friend sent me a link to a site with some interesting thoughts about the End Times.  It discusses the Nazca lines, the pyramids, and the possibility that these sites, and others, may be trying to point out a link to a certain line-up of stars, and thereby a certain time in the future, when a great shift will occur.  Certainly food for thought.</span></p>
<p>However if you search, you will come across so much information that it can be difficult to sift through it all and find the truth.  In my book, and on my website, I discuss the Last Days because I do sense some kind of massive change coming, but if we look for it only with our five physical senses we could be in danger of missing the signs.  Surfing the Tao is about learning how to hear the &#8216;Voice&#8217;; that great, all-knowing Force some call God, others the Tao.  To do this we must quiet our minds and listen with our spirits.  In doing this I have discerned the most important aspect of this terrifying notion of the End of Everything:  practice love, every moment, of every day.  Sounds simple, but it&#8217;s really not.  It may be the hardest thing you&#8217;ll ever do.  Because as I see it, it won&#8217;t be the &#8216;End of Everything&#8217;, just a big change, and in this next place, love will be the deciding factor.  Surf the Tao, and you won&#8217;t need to worry about this at all.  Those in the right state of consciousness, one of pure love, knowledge of God, the Tao, will see their world fade into a paradise.  It&#8217;s not going to be about what &#8216;religion&#8217; you belong to, but whether you are living in spirit.<br />

<span style="font-family: lucida grande"><em>The End of the World as We Knew It</em></span></p>
<p>The world we knew ended long ago.<br />
Didn’t we know a place of peace before?<br />
Perhaps it was only a dream.</p>
<p>Our planet suffers now<br />
As a child left alone in the wilderness<br />
Ignorance leads to starvation.</p>
<p>I cannot grieve for this doomed existence,<br />
Yet I will know the sound of its final demise.</p>
<p>Not World War III.<br />
Not a giant asteroid.<br />
Not another ice age.<br />
Not the anti-Christ.<br />
Not the Battle of Armageddon.<br />
Not the slaying of the dragon.</p>
<p>When every child’s tears turn to laughter.<br />
This is the beginning of the world as we knew it.</p>
