These discussions communicate passion and concern, yet would be more productive, synergistic and engaging if they centered around the Lessons of Enlightenment. It is clear that the nature of fear is not understood, nor the creative power of human belief or the nature of mass events. I would suggest that the most productive postings would relate to actual events occuring in the day-to-day lives of the contributors, how they have been created, and how they can be resolved if disempowering, or enhanced if enlightening.

     It is a common escapist trap to fall into the imaginative projections of might-be events and forget the business of actual living. The intellect is often squandered and creative will energies adding to the very problems the mind is railing against.

     Bad is associated with such feelings as fear, contempt, anger, and hate, because of the disconnection that follows from the corresponding fight and flight defensive actions. (See Lesson Beta 2)

     "Bad" is a judgement that has been placed upon the feelings themselves, which are trying to deliver the freedom, empowerment and guidance that all humans deserve.

     "Good" is also a profoundly distorted concept. Moral rightousness only comes through cognitive alignment with the messages of emotion---which dictate how best to think and act by offering good feelings when beliefs are optimal, such that they open the chakra centers to receive more divine information. Right thought and action is simply that which delivers meaning-- rich long-term pleasures of joyous well being--- pleasures such as trust, faith, love, compassion, courage, and devotion and well-earned pride in the cooperative, creative and synergistic acts they motivate.

     The American assumption that competition is good, is inaccurate since by definition for one to win in a competitive game, another must lose. Cooperation is the divine way, for it allows both freedom and empowerment for all to develop at their own pace while providing stability and safety from within. Egalitarian opportunity, equal respect, and equal value is the divine way---not the rigid and threatening social and economic hierarcharies that bring anger and fear. (Would one who has  received such equal freedoms feel compelled to commit such an act?) (terrorism).

      Global cooperation is the the human destiny, there need be no fear about the powermongering version of the "NWO" where humans are enslaved, for the emotion of anger will negotiate egalitarian freedoms sooner or later. That will mean that "supremacy" will be deflated as the powerless are infused with their rightful freedom and empowerment. And indeed, America has asserted arrogant supremacy in global relations, despite the fact that it embraces freedom, for it erronously embraces win-lose competitions that result in devaluative hierarchies and unequal opportunities that prompt corrective anger. But it must be understood that unified cooperation, including a global ethical system and unified political approach is necessary. Those who fear this global unity deny the brotherhood of the species, misunderstand the very cooperative nature of the universe itself---and fear is the signal of this limited understanding. The previous warnings from Awareness were of patterns in the mass human consciousness that have long since shifted.

     Certainly, there are still many in the world who have never truly experienced the definitive human experience wherein safe and loving groups have instilled the empathy and connectedness that orient a human to the spirit within and to see it everywhere without as well. There are still profound abuses that follow from faulty beliefs within mass consciousness. We are wired to defend ourselves. This disconnection and the defensive, isolating fear that it elicits is the central global problem we face.

     Terrorism is only an option for those who have experienced the pains of terror themselves. Religions that embrace beliefs in an angry, punative God and motivate adherence through threats of pain are not spiritual at all---yet many exist and are offered as the only form of education. Is it any wonder so many live, fight and die in fear?

     Creating public trust and security begins with every interaction, every expression, and every non-verbal signal sent to every other human you encounter in your daily lives. Taking up arms, fearing your fellows---no matter how ignorant and misguided they might be-- and assuming armageddon has come is simply continued misuse of the mind.

     Please join us in creating a vision of an interconnected human family. There is no denying that humans are like the cells that cooperatively create the whole--and those that pull away in fear are like the cancerous cells that take us all down. There is no pretending that humans are not connected economically, technologically, or geographically----because we have always been connected spiritually. The human destiny is an enlightened global community; fear and all painful feelings are simply resistance to that actuality and they slow the expansion of our group consciousness.

     Please contribute your energy to the positive destiny by envisioning a world wherein the ethics of compassion, trust, respect, love, gratitude, and devotion allow the highest consciousness and the most spiritually fulfilling paths to unfold.

     As a wise leader once said..."We have nothing to fear but fear itself". But enlightend minds recognize how fear leads directly to the limiting beliefs---for the fear itself is asking us to change them. So welcome fear, anger and all their relatives, but do not squander their message. Follow them to their source---the belief which initiated them. Find how these beliefs are limiting your rightful freedoms, your rightful empowerment, your rightful  connection within the whole, your esteem within the whole, your creative expression within the whole, and your ability to find and create the highest meaning in each moment of existance.

     Ensure that your beliefs are not limiting those same universal rights in others, live and act your convictions, learn from the pain of your mistakes, and reinforce the vision of global trust in each action and every human encounter. This is will the best "defense" and "revenge"--- and it will help those who still believe in their own separation rise to a higher consciousness.

     It is my hope that those who read and resonate with the Lessons can put forth the wisdom in quick and easy formats that appeal to readers of all levels of spiritual understanding. They are written in such a way as to address the many root misassumptions that are common within mass consciousness at present, for those will be obstacles unless explicitly mentioned.

     In a nutshell however, the Lessons teach each individual how to access the inner connection to cosmic consciousness by understanding and responding to the messages within human feelings. They help humans understand that it is through our chosen belief structures that we create our individual reality and contribute to the mass reality of the species. When humans recognize the creative power of their own will and mind, they will also recognize how the feeling system is delivering constant guiding information which reflects exactly how well the beliefs are serving the spiritual mission and destiny of that individual.

     Joyous and positive feelings reflect the best kinds of thoughts and actions, those that will help you find and fulfill your purpose and expand your consciousness  and sphere of influence in each new experience. Painful feelings always indicate beliefs that are limiting your potential, narrowing your consciousness and resisting the reality that they have created for you. Humans have passed such profound value judgements upon the feeling system, have supressed and negated it, and have incorporated pain into a lasting way of life, when it is only intended to inform us of and steer us away from the limiting beliefs that we are holding true and using to create a less than optimal life for ourselves.

     Once you recognize the creative power of your own mind, and that your subjective levels of negative emotion and positive emotion are evaluating how well you are investing it, you will understand why the concerns---and evidence-- for the states of "reality" you share, need not ever enter the experiences or concerns of others.  Indeed children are missing and exploited, but there is far greater evidence that this is the result of institutionalized ingorance, limited beliefs-- the denial, defensiveness, isolation and abuse that result when humans lose touch with their inner guidance. If you examine the evidence through this lens of belief, you are likely to be far more successful at directing your energy toward creating positive change than in railing against aliens and dark forces. I would suggest allowing your compassion to lead you into volunteer work to spend time with children, helping them become independant, secure in their relationships, and strong---able to defend themselves when necessary.

     Indeed, we must join together and create connections that grant the necessary freedom and empowerment for all to spiritually develop and flourish. There is much work to be done. The only enemy is "us" and the limited beliefs that are taken as universal truths----yet cannot be such if they create fear.

             Best of luck on studying the Lessons.
