Mother Earth is a conscious living being and we are a part of her consciousness just as the cells within our body are a part of our consciousness.  Whether “Global Warming” is indeed happening or not the truth is industrial corporations along with corrupt politicians are polluting our planet.

You don’t have to be a scientist to see that our streams and rivers are polluted with toxins and that our rainforest are being cut down at an astronomical pace.  It doesn’t take a genius to take a deep breath and inhale the excessive carbon emissions present in any of our biggest cities.

When the cells within our body are productive and work together in unity our body is healthy, alive, and whole.  However, when certain cells deviate from their intended purpose they become cancerous destroying the body and it’s internal environment.

Likewise, when Humanity is productive and works together in unity our Earth is healthy, alive, and whole.  However, when certain individuals deviate from their intended purpose they become cancerous to our planet destroying her internal environment by means of war, pollution, and disease (dis-ease).

“Real World” or so it seemed.  Not too many people want to remember or even entertain the thought of where they were on 9-11-2001 but for me it was a “Great and Terrible day.”  It was great because it was a time of incredible creativity for me as I was working on “The Source” and hanging out in Peter Gabriel’s “Real World Studios.”   It was terrible because I was in Peter Gabriel’s Studio at the moment the Twin Towers were destroyed in New York and the “Real World” as I knew it changed. 

It was my second time at Peter’s studio and my wife’s first as we stayed in Bath, England ten minutes away.  It was no doubt a wonderful experience.  However, we left the studio not even knowing what happened in New York and headed to London to stay for a few nights before we were off to Paris, France. 

We arrived in London later that evening only to find all the hotels booked up.  Everywhere we went nothing was available and I couldn’t for the life of me understand why.  I didn’t have that problem ever before.  We drove around until two o’clock in the morning looking for a place to stay when I finally pulled into a gas station for suggestions on where to get a room.

As I waited in line I saw a picture in the paper of the Twin Towers on fire.  I was a little shocked but didn’t know the extent of what happened until we finally found a room and was able to watch the news.  As we settled in we watched the news in disbelief and stayed up until six in the morning watching the video coverage over and over. 

Obviously it was questionable if we were going to be able to get back home anytime soon much less make it to Paris.  So we decided to skip Paris and drove to Dover to hang for a few days in a very surreal psychological environment while everything settled down a bit.

We were finally able to get a flight back home to the US only to later find out that my wife was pregnant with our twin daughters at the time all of this occurred.  There were times she was not feeling well in England, which turned out to be morning sickness from being pregnant. 

The “Real World,” whatever that means, changed in one brief moment of space and time.  The Twin Towers were destroyed, I was working on a Double CD, and my Twin daughters were born shortly afterward in 2002.  It was a case of the “terrible twos” while in the same moment a time of blessing and wonder. 

Who knows what 2012 will bring or even 2020 but hopefully humanity will awaken, move past the ignorance, and stop the violence so we can live in a “Real World” of peace and love ushering in a “Great Day” to speak of instead of a great and terrible day.

The world is in a crisis of birth.  Right before our very eyes Ego and the need for control is losing its grip on the world in which we live and the only constant that we can be sure of is this rapid pace of change.  Every system is breaking down while at the same time new systems are emerging.  Government's around the world that were designed to serve Humanity, not oppress its people, are now failing along with the financial institutions that support them.

What is taking place is a restructuring of government and an overhaul of its complete economic system that will eventually evolve its people beyond the enslaving concept of money consciousness.  All the world government's are coming unraveled from within as control, violence, and wars are giving way to truth and it is truth that will emancipate the people from the ignorance that gives support to our governments to create more technologically advanced weapons of destruction.

Religion is giving way to spiritual truth and understanding which has been hidden to many throughout the ages responsible for the countless lives lost in wars fought in the name of God.  Ignorance is giving way to awareness and darkness giving way to Light as the people rise above their differences and the need to be right in any given situation especially religious ideology.

The barriers are being shattered and our boundaries are being eliminated as we are walking through the walls of separation that divides our world into nations based on race, religion, and politics.  Humanity is experiencing the time of no time and a quickening of the human spirit is taking place here and now that will transform our present state of awareness transcending our limitations allowing each and every individual to eventually ascend into higher levels of consciousness.  

Instruments of hope and technological advances in restoration will replace our destructive behavior and weapons of mass destruction.  Love will heal the wounds of Ego as peace and harmony will pave the way while fear and doubt give way to more constructive forms and thought patterns.  Pain and suffering will dissipate and abundance will flourish as we move past scarcity thinking and accept responsibility for our actions as a direct correlation between cause and effect.

The future belongs to the ones who believe in the beauty of their dreams.  The best way to predict the future and preserve our divine rights and heritage is to create it.
