The Golden Dragon

10/27/2020

I think of how dragons are depicted in lore, as creatures of wrath and hatred, intent upon the destruction of all the Earth and its inhabitants.

And that only wizards of the highest order can, in turn, destroy them.

These dragons are ensnared by gold, utterly enslaved by its lure, and as we see in the Lord of the Rings, they bury themselves in this metal, engorged and mesmerized by it, as it renders them into a drunken stupor, into a state of bloated decrepitude.

If we think in contemporary terms of who these dragons are, we immediately think of the heads of high tech, oil companies, media empires, (some) corporations, (some) governments and health organizations, financial institutions, those who are glutted in their naked desire for more gold, to the point of utter self-dissolution. Nothing will stand in their way of achieving this gold, including in their eyes, "puny humanity".

But I just read a wonderful sci-fi book called Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly and in this book, the "evil dragon" which is brought back to full health by our heroine, the wizard, does not love gold the way that the evil ones mentioned above do.

This dragon is multi-dimensional and full of great light. Immersed in gold, which is a reflection of his soul, he hears the Earth sing. He sees the raging storms and rides their winds, he watches the waxing and waning of the moons, his wings tremble at the rising of the sun, his soul song hears the symphony of the stars and the celestial bodies, he marvels and feels the cresting of the ocean waves, and hears and follows the smallest of the little creatures in the forest as they hear the soughing of the wind in the pines in winter.

His gold allows him to be one with all that is. I can relate to THIS dragon perfectly and can move with him/her through the ley lines of the Earth, breathing fire, redemption and love into every sinew. Healing the Earth and all who live here.

The ugly dragons are fated to leave us, and this will happen as quickly as we all remember that the Golden Dragon is truly the essence of who we all are, and not a fable at all.

Many of us are viewing the "chaos" on Earth from a higher perspective

10/27/2020

Think of a plane rising through turbulence into the placid blue of a serene and harmonious sky. This is how many of us are viewing the events occurring in the world right now and we all acknowledge that there is a Divine order to what is happening and that, in fact, God's blueprint for the Earth is unfolding exactly as planned.

The proof of this is that "vested interests", those old tired and redundant entities who have used fear, control and intimidation to herd the "masses" (their words) are in a frenzy of activity right now, trying desperately to hang onto power.

It is no coincidence that this frenzy is taking place as their "control" leaves them.

It may be hard to understand that this is taking place, but don't forget that the mainstream media is/has been a powerful mechanism used by these powers to promulgate their messaging of divisiveness and hatred.

We see that, and for all who move into a higher perspective, you will see that too.

Hold steady.

A Wolf at the Door

10/26/2020

Yesterday in my city there was an international exhibit about Takaya, a beautiful wild wolf who lived close to us for a long time, even coming into one of our neighborhoods. Never looking for a mate, but staying close to our islands, the wild places that are still here, the ancient trees and the ocean.

Then a couple of months ago, a hunter killed him.

The grief was felt around the world and this exhibit marked the international participation of over 150 artists each showing how Takaya's life and death had affected them.

I love wolves, a great deal. I have had many wild wolf encounters and to me they represent everything in the wild that I admire perfectly. They remind us of who we used to be before we surrendered our spirits to mindless conformity. They are one of my totems.

I went to the exhibit that was sponsored by a First Nations art gallery and was told that I could not enter until I wore a mask.

"I don't wear masks."

She looked at me in disbelief. "Everyone wears masks!"

"I don't. And I personally believe that I am far healthier as a result. There is growing evidence that masks will make you very sick. Besides, there is no Covid in the city."

So I walked away, reflecting on the irony that to get into this exhibit featuring a wild and beautiful animal one had to be masked in a mind and soul numbing conformity,

The very antithesis of a wild wolf.

Keeping Hope Alive in spite of the Propagandists

10/24/2020

I just finished reading an older Helen MacInnes book called The Salzburg Connection that takes place twenty one years after WW11. It talks about the hunt for a treasure trove of Nazi documents hidden in the mountains of Austria that contains the former memoirs of Nazi officials that if found, could compromise the politics and policy of the US government.

(Of course, why that would be a worry I am not sure. It is well documented that the National Security Council, the CIA and others recruited thousands of former Nazis, Waffen Secret Service and Nazi collaborators after the war, whose "sins were forgiven" if they agreed to enter into the willing complicity of the US government. There is an excellent book on Amazon that meticulously describes this (and was hushed up) called Blowback: America's Recruitment of Nazis and its Destructive Impact on our Domestic and Foreign Policy by Christopher Simpson.)

There is a particularly poignant passage towards the end of this novel about "hope" spoken by a former Nazi collaborator:

"There is such an emptiness, a frightening void when we do stop hoping. As if life has stopped too, no meaning left. No more choices, no more decisions; they are all out of our hands. We just wait. Hopelessly."

You would be forgiven for thinking that this could have come straight out of an article in today's newspapers. The present day propagandists are using methods upon us that were tried and true for Hitler and the Nazis and other regimes that sought control over the minds of their people.

It is important to remember that "they" have no power, unless you give this power to them. If you lose hope, that means the darkness has won.

Hope, and the constant breathing of that light into our lives and our hearts, can only come from within.

What does it mean to be a good leader?

10/23/2020

We are now on a fast track to global ascension and whatever no longer serves us is being transformed or removed.

In the "old days" of lower dimensional thinking we gave our power away to those who espoused to lead us. We deferred to our parents, our peers, so-called authority figures, anyone we thought was smarter, more educated, more beautiful than us, and so on. We never took responsibility for our own power and our own majesty.

We forgot that we are ALL co-creators of our destiny, ALL equally loved by God and that whatever "disguises" we are wearing in this life time, be it skin color, religion, ethnicity and so on, is a chimera and a cover for our own beautiful hearts.

We are all One at the end of the day. Know that the world we currently see around us is the result of our own thought forms over time, individually and collectively.

Don't blame someone else for the reality you are experiencing, for you allowed this to occur.

These days, in the beginning phase of our new Golden Age, we are starting to wake up and take our power back.

We no longer defer to governments or to institutions, including religions, the way we used to. Tired, old rhetoric does not affect us.

What does affect us is a leader who we now hold accountable and to whom we demand impeccable integrity and service. One who listens to us. Who is honest and forthright, strong and courageous, and who does not promulgate fear...as we go into the "dark night of winter".

What can we learn from Nazi propaganda

10/21/2020

My father was evacuated from Guernsey in the Channel Islands just eight days before the Nazis invaded in an occupation that was to last for five years. I have archival photos of a Nazi flag draped over my grandfather's hotel and German fortifications still dot this small island.

This was to be a "model occupation" and set the stage for how Hitler would occupy Britain.

I visited an elderly aunt in Guernsey a few years before she died. She did not make it off the island in time. We visited the German underground museum and stopped in front of a letter that General Rommel sent to Hitler bitterly complaining that they needed troop support in northern Africa and why was he arming Guernsey and using badly needed funds?

My aunt laughed when she re-read the letter. "You know", she said, "we always knew that when we read the newspapers or listened to the radio that the very opposite was happening in the Nazi world. We all knew that the papers were their way to control us."

She went onto say that they knew the war was going badly for them when the level of rhetoric rose higher praising the Nazi armies and predicting their "certain victory."

"We never believed them", she said, "not once".

We are facing a more global whitewash now and we must all develop critical thinking when we read things in the mainstream media about our Covid world, a media that is owned after all, by those entities that are vested in keeping us the thrall of paralytic fear.

The same level of propaganda that was refined by the Nazis then is being used now. Demand concrete scientific evidence. Hold all corporations, development agencies and governments to task and demand their integrity.

9/11

9/12/2020

On the night before 9/11, I entered my first media class in Greenwich Village with Professor Nina Khrushcheva. I had just entered graduate studies at the New School in International Affairs. Khrushcheva, great granddaughter to former Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, was also my advisor. We spent the class talking about the debacle that was the Vietnam war and how the face of war would change. The next day, the towers fell.

During the day, I was in global sales with a luxury hotel chain. My world was pretty good then, Park Avenue office and lots of global travel. My job was to secure corporate and incentive business for the company and to drive this business into our many hotels.

In fact, one of my clients was enjoying an incentive trip into the Loire Valley and, as a driven high producer, he left his wife to come back to New York early to close a deal. He did not make it out of the towers.

The tragedy of that day will never leave us. As a team, we frantically spent the day trying to reach friends and clients in the World Trade Center as we watched the horrific debacle unfold, in disbelief.

That day changed me forever, because once I emerged from my shock and grief a year or so later, I left the hotel business and I left New York. I initially went to France to fulfill my dream of becoming a writer.

That day taught me that we should never postpone the living out of our dreams, because nothing is guaranteed..for any of us. The people in the towers were just going to work. Many were young and they probably thought they had all the time in the world.

We tend to live under this illusory feeling that we, too, have all the time in the world. But we don't. Every breath is vital, because every breath may be our last breath. Perhaps the better approach is to give our all to life in this singular, precious moment of time.

The past is gone. The future is yet to be written and we can imagine and dream that into existence. But nothing replicates the exquisite importance of living in the now.

Because it is only in the now that Life truly exists.

Now we are being told not to have sex

9/3/2020

In an article in today's Globe & Mail, Dr. Theresa Lam, Canada's Chief Public Officer, tells all of us to wear masks when we have sex or preferably, to stay celibate in these covid times.

Are you freaking kidding me?

Our humanity has already been reduced: mask- clad people on the streets, their eyes full of fear, looking suspiciously at another as though they will be the one to finally give them the black plague.

"I can't breathe" has become a global refrain as we watch our humanity being stripped from us in suffocating silence.

This has gone far enough. We have the ancestral DNA to combat anything, we must believe in ourselves! Don't allow yourself to be stripped of all power, in the name of "what is good for us." As my English mother would say, this is "bollocks".

This is precisely the time when we should ALL the having plenty of sex and experiencing as much intimacy as we can get. We crave touch, we need love. We need to see each other and touch each other, not to fear each other.

If the powers that be want to retreat into a life of sterile celibacy, huddled in the masks of their fear, then good for them! Wish them luck, and then get on with your own precious, vital and important life.

My author in China

8/13/2020

I got a lovely note from an author in China who reached out to many publishing firms to see if there was interest in his book. Apparently we were the only ones that got back to him.

The note was quite lengthy and the English was not 100% there (of course it's not 100% there for people in the English-speaking world either). He said he was aware that I am from a Christian part of the world and that he did not know how to greet me as they do not believe in religion in China, not even in Buddhism. And then he described his book which revolved around the nature of power in certain sci-fi books he liked, and asked me if he could send his manuscript to me.

I got back to him and said that Canada, in fact, is a country of many religions and faiths, all are welcomed here. We have built a foundation of tolerance and acceptance, but we are far from perfect as racism exists here as it does in other countries.

I said that "religion" was no deal breaker these days as the voice of Angels have been heard from many who are not confined by the strictures of religions and who proclaim themselves atheists.

I said I believed that what lay within a human heart was far more important, as we are all Divine, whether we realize this or not.

I went onto say that the lack of faith many of us experience is the same for people in most of the countries of the world: lack of faith in our leaders, our governments, our corporations, our banks, and especially these days, our pharmaceutical companies and their affiliates whose only agenda is the bottom line and control of our lives. Certainly not our health.

However, I concluded, many are growing in faith now at the possibility of a new future with enlightened and wise younger leaders who are emerging, as none of us will tolerate what has been any longer. Look at the people of Lebanon as one recent example. The cords of tyranny, brutality and cruelty have been stretched to their limit in our world and it is over. It is the people's turn now. We witness the intense desire around the world for freedom, for a pristine planet and for the absolute prerogative to live our lives in the manner that best suits us.

I wait to hear his response and look forward to the possibility of working with this author and others that we are hearing from in many countries around the world.

My trip into Cambodia and Laos

8/9/2020

I am in between trips and decided to go back to some of my pictures to add narrative to what I experienced in the countries I have seen.

Cambodia and Laos touched my heart in profound ways. When you walk through the streets of Siem Reap there is an eerie knowing that a profound gap exists between generations.

Why? Because between 1975 - 1979 The Khmer Rouge communists murdered close to 2 million of their people while the rest of the world stood by and did nothing (Actually, countries like the US offered military support to this government). Two million intellectuals: teachers and professors, writers, journalists, scientists, Buddhist monks and nuns....and so on. An entire generation is missing.

Cambodia has the distinction of having the most killing fields or mass graves in the world. Spain comes next and the poet I wrote about in my novella, Federico Garcia Lorca, still lies in one of those unmarked graves.

Like Germany whose schoolchildren are mandated as part of their education to visit Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps so that this lesson is never lost, so Cambodia has its monuments too.

And why this is important is because when atrocities of this magnitude occur in a country, the healing of that culture takes generations. The atrocities of a Hitler, for instance, will never be forgotten.

It can never be buried, as Franco sought to do in the Spanish Civil War, because the cries of the dead will always be heard until peace prevails.

In this critical time on our Earth, all is being revealed. A New Age of hope and tolerance, of kindness and Light, can never be built atop the shoulders of infamy.
