Dear Friends:
At a time when human and planetary problems
seem to be multiplying geometrically, the message to humanity is
coming clear: Shift or get off the pot!
Fortunately, just as the caterpillar organism
is deconstructing before our very eyes, the butterfly's imaginal
cells are connecting to form humanity's new flying machine. Will
we achieve critical mass before we reach critical massacre? To
quote Willie Mays, that's what we're going to play the game to
find out.
One of the great allies we have in this shift
and awakening is the Institute of
Noetic Sciences (IONS). Founded more than 30 years ago by
astronaut Edgar Mitchell who had an epiphany as he watched our
planet from space, IONS has evolved into the leading "new
edge" organization for weaving new science and ancient
wisdom, and applying integrated awareness in our world.
I've been closely affiliated with IONS this
year, with Swami's column appearing in their monthly I-Shift
newsletter, and through Swami's appearance at their
conference in Palm Springs this past August ("I love being
in front of IONS people -- you all seem so positively
charged."). While Swami has always appreciated the
contribution IONS makes, this month he has become really
animated in his support. And I mean that literally.
Joining other IONS boosters like Edgar
Mitchell, Marianne Williamson, Van Jones, Deepak Chopra and
Marilyn Schlitz, Swami voices his support in a One Minute Shift
animation below. The Swami really enjoyed himself in the realm
of cartoon, finding he has magical powers there that he cannot
access in this world of dense physical matter.
So, enjoy the animation, share it with your
friends, and become part of the Shift community this year. Yes,
shift happens. But each of us has to upshift our own karma into
surpassing gear.
