A Vision for A New Earth
‘1st January’ photograph by Shugaley Pavel

A Vision for A New Earth
- An Earth where chaos matures into growth and reality is a soul harmony vibrating to Love in synchronicity.
- Knowing through radical trust, silence and stillness that the dark is pierced by the Light, and fear and ignorance transformed into insight, love and wisdom.
- New leaders with spiritual vision unashamedly inspired by a loving connection to all life and a passionate caring for self, humanity and the environment lead the world to an unanimously agreed upon charter of peace.
- Religion is no longer fought over, but honored as expressions of divinity.
- Borders vanish to form one Circle of Light one earth – one vision – one garden – one economy – one humanity.
- Diversity is celebrated within the uniqueness of each individual’s culture, race and heart.
- Generosity and gratitude replace greed, and the desire to accumulate out of fear of scarcity, is replaced by knowing that all is provided for.
- Spirit is acknowledged in the radiance of each person’s being beyond all illusions.
- The creative potential of each person’s abilities unfold into expressions of joyous creations.
- All learning celebrates soul development, character, creativity and imagination.
- Sound, thought, light, feeling and color are understood as
  palettes of creation to manifest reality.
- Love is fostered as the elixir of life and Joy the blueprint for achievement.
- Beauty, compassion and forgiveness weave perception and create connection.
- Infinity is grasped as an awakening into the ever evolving mystery of the Now moment.
- Time is seen as a fractal of Infinity where the Now locates,
  attention focuses and intention directs.
- Nature is Light. Light is the interplay of the dance of particles in the known cosmos of Love. Light is the breath of The Divine.
  In Light, are the codes of all life playing a symphony of Love.
- Love is all there is. As you are in your heart. In Peace. In Love. Know that you are loved beyond measure.
- Know that we are in a New Earth where we all celebrate our magnificence.
- Dream it and it will Be.

Pink Elephant… really???

‘Rare Pink Elephant Baby’ photograph by Mike Holding

Everywhere… all around… more and more gifts from Creator. Signs we move… we progress. Heart shaped galaxies, pink dolphins, sun halos, comets… more. Now this very rare, sweet, beautiful, albino, pink, baby African elephant. Amazing!

Elephant represents – compassion, loyalty, strength, intelligence, discernment, commitment, astuteness, memory, longevity, power and peace. Pink is the color of Universal Love, love of self and others, harmony and inner peace; and a developed heart chakra (Anahata). Elephant in Buddhism represents mental strength; the white elephant is a powerful controlled mind that eliminates all obstacles on the path. It is said that Buddha was born as a white elephant in a previous incarnation. Ganesh, the white elephant Hindu god removes obstacles and brings peace and inner knowing. A pink elephant shows us how… eliminate obstacles through love.

A pink elephant is great gift indeed… it shows Creators Love for us and blesses our unfolding. Indicators: keep faith, remember love of self and others, bring peace to all, discern what brings harmony, be strong and clear of mind, develop heart and inner knowing.

March 20, 2009 – A pink elephant caught on camera. A wildlife cameraman took pictures of the calf when he spotted it among a herd of about 80 elephants in the Okavango Delta (Botswana). Experts believe it is probably an albino, which is an extremely rare phenomenon in African elephants. Read more at BBC.
