THEME I:  SHIFT IN CONSCIOUSNESS

There has been 4 billion years of Earth and all of us are living in this state of crisis, but with incredible opportunity.  This crisis is really a spiritual crisis. This is a unique time in history.

Greed was a big problem with 2008 financial crisis.  Greed comes from lack of higher consciousness.  We try to deal with symptom of the problem. Look “out there”.  Need to look at our own thinking. This is a crisis of consciousness.

Transformation: shift in perception from one reality to another.

A huge issue:  The Tragedy of Being Attached to our Belief Systems.  Use prayer to be able to change your viewpoint…see issue in another way.

All we are looking for is within us.  What is going on in my own consciousness…not “they” must change their thinking.  I need to change my own consciousness of fear, greed, insecurity,

Since 1960’s collectively searching for inner peace.  Living that is a challenge.  Today we are collectively honing in on some spiritual wisdom; going through a global renaissance.  It is leaderless.  A collective phenomenon.  Unique experience. 

Peter lives by The Practice of Profound Simplicity and  aligns with The Ministry of Fun!

Living courageously is respecting our own truth.

How do I maintain the Being in the Doing?

THEME II: MEDITATION

Meditation is common throughout all the wisdom traditions…the practice of releasing entrapment of the mind

Meditation is about letting the mind relax.  Adopting the attitude of letting it be.  It is the untraining of the mind.  Allow the mind to settle down.  Meditation is not about controlling the mind, it is about letting the mind settle down. Not efforting.

Meditation focuses on the present. The reason why we come back to the breath is because the breath is always in the present moment

 THEME III: 

Live with EASE; Hold onto EASE; Don’t lose the EASE

Reframing helps us live with EASE. “Is there perhaps another way to look at this?”

All beings want to be at Ease, peace, contentment.  It is a natural part of life.  We

Talk Ourselves Out of Contentment! 

Usually no reason not to be content at this moment; Power of Now.  My self-talk creates my discontentment.

We create lack which disturbs our feeling of inner peace.

“We don’t need to die to rest in peace!!!”  Love, Truth and Beauty are at our core

Change your mindset.  What you are looking for is already inside you.  The Kingdom of Heaven is within.  Stop chasing out there.

Human beings can change the world.  We can manipulate the Earth to create wonderful things to make life easier…need to change our consciousness.

Science is coming up with new truths that do not fit and gets ignored.  The observer influences what is observed.

The common thread in which we keep ourselves trapped is the limited mindset of seeing the world.  Its focus is in the material world - things and possessions and money – these trap and constrict the mind.

Much of mankind is trying to stop greed or environmental degradation but we need to see how we are thinking that creates the problems in the first place.

This awakening is coming from the growing realization that the old way does not work – not for the environment, society or the planet.

We need to focus on our own courageousness.  Become our own experiment in evolution.   We are part of what is happening in this moment in history.  We are part of the spiritual awakening taking place in the developed world.
