IN LETTERS MADE OF GOLD

√ REACHING OUT
Sincere thanks go to everyone involved - including you - for joining me. Today you might like to consider the letters of gold woven into the following article (author unknown) on the raising of consciousness on Planet Earth. But first, here's a short quotation, the wisdom of which is also worthy of note:
"There are no new truths, but only truths that have not been recognised by those who have perceived them without noticing." — Mary McCarthy
"On the surface of the Earth there is war and violence and everything looks horrible. But, simultaneously, something quiet, calm and hidden is happening and certain people are being called by a higher light. A quiet revolution is settling from the inside out. From bottom to top. It is a global operation. A spiritual conspiracy. There are cells from this operation in every nation on the planet.
"You will not watch us on TV. Or read about us in newspapers. Or hear our words on radios. We do not seek glory. We do not use uniforms. We arrive in different shapes and sizes. We have costumes and colours. Most work anonymously. Silently we work in every culture in the world. In large and small cities. In the mountains and valleys. In the farms, villages, tribes and remote islands.
"We might cross paths on the streets. And not realize ... We follow in disguise. We are behind the scenes. And we do not care who wins the gold or the result, only that the work gets performed. And once in a while we will cross paths on the streets. We exchange looks of recognition and continue following our path. During the day many are disguised in their normal jobs, but at night behind the scenes, the real work begins.
"Some call us an army of consciousness. Slowly we are building a new world with the power of our hearts and minds. We follow with joy and passion. Our orders reach us from the Central Spiritual Intelligence. We're throwing soft bombs of love without anyone noticing; poems, hugs, songs, photos, movies, fond words, meditations and prayers, dances, social activism, websites, blogs, acts of kindness ...
"We express ourselves in a unique and personal way. With our talents and gifts and being the change we want to see in the world. This is the force that moves our hearts. We know that this is the only way to accomplish the transformation. We know that with the silence and humbleness we have the power of all oceans together. Our work is slow and meticulous. As in the formation of mountains.
"Love will be the religion of the 21st Century. Without educational prerequisites. Without ordering an exceptional knowledge for your understanding. Because it is born of the intelligence of the heart. Hidden for eternity in the evolutionary pulse of every human being. Be the change you want to see happen in the world. Nobody else can make this work for you. We're recruiting. Perhaps you will join us. Or maybe you have already joined. All are welcome. The door is open." - Author Unknown
The above article suggests (to me, at least) that a Study of Wellbeing is more than appropriate at this time and that a good place to start is by carefully unpacking the programme followed at Wellington College in Berkshire, England. The college's prestigious course is described in detail and in good, plain language in a blog called LEARNING/TEACHING which youwill find on the side menu. Significantly, the Wellington College course aims to give its students an opportunity to discover:
I see the same inner journey of self-discovery equally as valid for those whose hearts and minds have been sorely challenged by serious mental illness. Losing one's way in life and becoming stuck fast has serious implications for mental health service users and for their carers, families and friends — not forgetting society at large. Remember always that all of us are smarter than any of us. Communication is fundamental to human existence - so please, let's talk.
Conversation is a meeting of minds with different memories and habits. When minds meet, they don't just exchange facts: they transform them, reshape them, draw different implications from them, and engage in new trains of thought. Conversation doesn't just reshuffle the cards: it creates new cards." — Theodore Zeldin
Let us grasp the nettle and support the notion of the 'transformative conversation' where we emerge a slightly different person. Zeldin's stance is that we 'risk impoverishing ourselves more than we know if we sideline the personal dimension of life. If we close off part of ourselves, we risk losing life's richness and the experience we can bring to our conversations'.
Here's another message written in letters of gold, this to do with staying true to one's principles and thinking for oneself —
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumoured by many or it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ─ Buddha
Seize the day — let's talk.

'Manna from Heaven' = A sudden happening that brings good fortune

He who remains cheerful in spirit and sees only the good side of all things, who never allows himself to be spiritually downcast but keeps his head high and courage in his heart, he sets in motion those fine, still powers, which make every step through life easier for him.
