Synchronicity After publishing Revolution from Within, I was thrilled to be introduced to remaining family members of one of our heroes in the story, Paul Anderson. You can read about this fortuitous meeting in my post Synchronicity!
The family have shared many beautiful memories with me and, in many ways, done what my extensive reading and study of the historical archives could not … namely brought so many of these people to life in all the complex -
Blog postConnections between Russian spiritual philosophy … French personalism … and Unity Consciousness!
It is amazing to see the Russian people reclaim the ideas, beliefs and worldviews elaborated by The 160 so many years ago. Through perestroika, glasnost’, and vozvrashchenie (Return) official government change through the auspices of Mikhail Gorbachev, Alexander Yakovlev and their fellow co-conspirators inside the Communist Party combined with Dissidents’ -
Blog postAs we transmute the 3-letter organizations who no longer serve us, we the people, globally… let’s take FCC. Instead of Federal Communication Commission (which does not seem to serve the people’s interests and can’t seem to manage much) – how about this simple affirmation:

Blog postCreation vs Control by American Kabuki January 10, 2015
It seems that life itself thrives on the knife edge of chaos, which is not randomness at all but structures of very complex energies and influences. Life thrives where choice and love thrives. We have a rich universe of life because of choice and a certain letting go of control by Source – yet Source is within each being as it makes its choices and we’ve seen in recent years Source exerting direct control through [th -
Blog postThe Meaning of Life Discovered in a Dream – Dostoyevsky’s Discovery by Aaron L Meileiac Friday, June 12, 2015
“And it is so simple… You will instantly find how to live.”
One November night in the 1870s, legendary Russian writer Fyodor Dostoyevsky (November 11, 1821–February 9, 1881) discovered the meaning of life in a dream — or, at least, the protagonist in his final short story did. The piece, which first appeared in the altogether revelatory A Writer’s Diary (publ -
Blog postIn the interests of promoting Unity Consciousness, I had the brain-flash that presenting Western mainstream media postings side-by-side alternative and Eastern viewpoints might be revealing for all of us as we grapple with this current fascination in duality consciousness.
Duality = either / or. Polarity = two sides of a continuum, both valid or… = both / and I leave it to you, the reader, to discern how you want to perceive this information. Unity = recognition -
Blog postAfter 10 years in “exile” as Foreign Minister to Canada, Alexander Yakovlev and Mikhail Gorbachev get this unique opportunity to speak to each other, at length, privately…
Look what comes from this still-point moment!
Excerpt from Revolution from Within: In assigning Yakovlev as Ambassador to Canada, the Soviet Union placed him in a country that was leading the world in the acceptance of multiculturalism and in the throes of its own socialist evolution. The “cultural mosaic” a -

Blog postWestern Perspective June 4, 2015 – Western Defeat in Ukraine By Roger Cohen
LONDON — It was not a surprise that President Vladimir Putin of Russia came out in strong support of FIFA against the “blatant attempt” of the United States “to extend its jurisdiction to other states.” Institutionalized corruption is Putin’s thing. The governing body of world soccer has become a near-perfect illustration of how such a system works, almost as good as the once-pliant Ukraine of Putin’s ousted
