You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.
And there are things to be considered:
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth.
If you go out on the street, you’re going to get wet. The splashes come from every direction while the smiles come from deep inside. The Songkran water festival is a celebration of the Thai New Year, and this year marks 2551 in the Buddhist calendar. Thailand is bathed with scorching tropical sun and heat in the middle of the dry season. Everyone understands that the rains will return eventually, so until then, water buckets and cupped hands suffice for monsoon thunder and rain. Tradition was a calm, respectful pouring of water on the shoulder, smearing of clay on the cheeks, smiles, bows, and thanks.
Speculating about the possibility of a revival of collective joy, Barbara Ehrenreich asks, “Why not reclaim our distinctively human heritage as creatures who can generate their own ecstatic pleasures out of music, color, feasting, and dance?” Watching a samba school practicing for carnaval, she realizes why we need these expressions of collective feeling, and her answer makes me cry for joy: “to acknowledge the miracle of our simultaneous existence with some sort of celebration.”
We are the clue!

Drum and dance, music and song, story and art, have expressed our joys and sorrows since the beginnings of village life. Our spirituality takes root in these indigenous practices, unifying all people through the universal language of celebration.

New understanding of the relationship of science to spirituality is bringing about an evolution in consciousness, a harmony that will lead the way to a new paradigm– At-Onement. Dr. Bruce Lipton’s new book, The Biology of Belief, explores the developing science of epigenetics, and asserts that our health and well-being are intimately connected to our state of mind and the beliefs that inform it. His site, brucelipton.com, has many great articles on the “wisdom of cells,” and other topics that will get you thinking. Consciousness is evolving! Check it out.
Looking for people with a clue? As the Cleu lady, I make it a point to find the cleu’d in people wherever I happen to be. Because I know the kinds of things that people with a clue like to do, I am a really good scout. I can get to a place I’ve never been, and within the first day of being there, I’ll know where to go to find some people who share my values. You can become a good scout too– be observant, friendly, and open to chance encounters. The first step is to find the local natural food stores.
