The Eisenhower Moment – Part I

The Great Transition To A Life-Affirming Culture

An Interview with Andrew Gaines, Founder of The Great Transition Initiative

“Either we will have an awakening or we will have a wake.” — Swami Beyondananda

In these times of great crisis and opportunity, there’s an idea that has gotten ahold of me that I call “The Eisenhower Moment”. Nearly 60 years ago, President Dwight D. Eisenhower said, “I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it.”

As more and more of us are coming to understand, “peace” means more than an absence of war — although that would be a terrific beginning. Peace means the end of domination, one over the other. It means fundamentally adopting and applying the Golden Rule. And more apparently than ever before, it means living in harmony with the natural world.

As the crises — ecological, economic, political, social and spiritual — seem to all be arising at once, maybe we are at that moment where a critical mass of the heretofore uncritical masses can speak in one coherent voice and say, “We want THIS.”

Certainly we have the means to communicate ideas and memes instantly across the globe, and nearly two thirds of the humans on the planet have a cell phone or personal device. That means that “humanity” can be mobilized around an idea or issue almost instantly…

Would it make a difference?

Perhaps it’s the only thing that will.

Our guest this week, Andrew Gaines, an Australian visionary, activist and systems thinker has dedicated his life to bringing about such a “movement of movements.”

He is a co-leader in the Great Transition Initiative – a citizen led educational movement to inspire mainstream commitment to transitioning to a life-affirming culture. Through a personal epiphany he became committed to the wellbeing of coming generations. Andrew recognizes that the long-term survival of humanity is in jeopardy, and he embraces the adage to change the system, change the thinking. As a Feldenkrais practitioner, psychotherapist and creativity trainer he is well-positioned to act on this adage. He sometimes says, “I help good brains work better.” His books include Kitchen Table Conversations, The Witness: Gateway to Self-Development, and Creative Conversations. He is trained in improvisational acting, Aikido, Tai Chi, and The Natural Step, a way of working out whether a business or a country is ecologically sustainable. He is a former naval officer with a degree in philosophy.

One of the problems in addressing climate change — and other massive issues confronting our entire species — is that our tendency is to try to fix things around the edges, so that we can keep things “normal.” The problem is, that things are changing so rapidly that we cannot go backward to previous ideas of normal. We are being pulled forward into the unknown, like it or not. As Andrew points out, the climate crisis cannot be addressed, let alone resolved, by tweaking things around the edges. A systemic transformation is needed.

So… how can that transformation come about — other than by utter collapse of the system as it is?

How can the people of the world be mobilized, not just to rail in anger but to work together toward practical, breakthrough solutions?

How do climate change educators break through the walls created by the two “drugs” of “hopium” (imagining things will just get better on their own) and “deniatol” (problem? what problem?) to mobilize our individual and collective creativity and focus?

The Planets This Month: December 2018

December opens with a passionate and somewhat volatile feel, as Venus sashays into Scorpio, unleashing plenty of sensual energy but also strong potential for jealousy and obsession. With Mercury turning direct – also in Scorpio – a few days later on December 6th, communication gets slightly easier, but the devil is in the detail. Be sure to pin down exactly what someone means before trusting them. This will be especially important on December 7th, when a confusing Mars-Neptune conjunction makes it easy both to mislead and to be misled.

Fortunately, also on December 7th we have a breezy, optimistic Sagittarius New Moon. Any mistrust which occurs due to misunderstandings can be quickly swept away if there is positive good intent from all parties. Once Mercury shifts back into Sagittarius on December 12th, minor angst should be forgotten, and cosmic energies take an optimistic step forward.

The middle of December is quiet, astrologically speaking. However, a fiery trine between the Sun and Uranus on December 20th does hint at surprises and possibly shocks – it may be the holiday season, but there’s no need to go crazy, especially with finances! The solstice on December 21st marks the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, and the arrival of the Sun in responsible Capricorn. This is a moment to look back at the year which is almost over, and to tie up lose ends ahead of the festivities.

A confusing Mercury-Neptune square may lead to forgetfulness or last-minute hitches on December 24th, but a warm and hospitable Leo Moon ensures that festive goodwill wins out. As 2018 draws to a close, warrior planet Mars arrives “home” in Aries on December 31st – so passions may flare alongside the New Year fireworks.

The Path To Health with Cathy Anello

This is a no-brainer. Without our health, we have nothing, and we have no one. Health is the #1 priority. So, with less than six months to live, you would think that nothing in the world would matter.

Real or not, we have to ask ourselves the million-dollar question: What in this stressful environment is worth being ill for? Is arguing with your boss worth my dis-ease. Is proving myself right to anyone worth my inner peace?

What inside of us is blocking, even under these circumstances, the ability to watch as it rolls off our back and not shake our core existence? What if we decided to let everybody solve his or her own problems? No judgment, no fixing, just loving support, and offering advice only when asked.

The path to health is simpler than we make it out to be, so why do we tend to over-complicate things?

Today, we welcome certified healing intuitive and the author of the new book Six Months to Live, Cathy Anello, to Light On Living, to share how we can stay committed to our true path to health when facing challenges or obstacles.

Deva Premal - Music as Medicine

This week Kara has invited Deva Premal and Miten to Voice Rising to talk about Music as Medicine and Deva’s newest album release DEVA. Deva Premal’s composition, the Seven Chakra Gayatri Mantra, debuts on DEVA, nearly 20 years since Deva’s original ground-breaking version of the ancient Gayatri Mantra began topping alternative music charts and appearing on yoga, meditation, and sleep playlists worldwide. Deva Premal and Miten’s musical journey inspires everything from deep meditation to healing sleep to gentle dance movements making the tracks suitable for diverse playlists.

There are remarkable stories of transformation from around the world, where people have listened or attended a musical gathering of Deva Premal & Miten, and experienced a spontaneous healing. Deva and Miten have used their music for their own healing as well, most significantly, singing sacred mantras as an integral part of Miten’s healing from open heart surgery in March 2018. As documented in books like The Power of Music, by NY Times bestselling author Elena Mannes and The Healing Power of Sound by Mitchell Gaynor MD, scientific studies over the past decade have verified that music in fact has the power to heal us, both emotionally and physically, even where the big guns of conventional medicine have failed.
