My purpose for this web-blog
by David E. Hopper
The purposes of this web-blog are many. First and foremost, it is a work in progress and designed to address some of humanities most pressing and intractable problems. As a disclaimer, I do not profess to have all the answers but as a inhabitant and citizen of the world, I have a right to speak out as much as anybody else as I live here too. Through my words, I do have my own perspective, which in some cases is unique and at times controversial. I hope and pray that you the reader will be touched, changed, perhaps even outraged enough to help facilitate change on our planet regarding the different issues that I’m writing about. For without your passion, vision and courage the future for our children and indeed even our future incarnations will be difficult. This must be a collective effort. We must realize once again our unity and wholeness before its too late. Time’s very short now.
I hope to give you the reader food for thought in helping to “progress” and effect change and to soften the upcoming changes our world is going through. Of course, please meditate…and yes, you can still contact your local representative, senator, member of parliament and write letters to the editor of your newspaper. This has benefit on a certain level(s). But I believe there are still greater things we must do, such as advocating the creation of a new political party here in the United States and other nations. Why a new political party? Both the Republicans and Democrats here in the United States have shown for several generations, that they are leading the most powerful and influential democracy in the world to destruction by their own lack of vision, lack of integrity, corruption, pure greed and selfishness. Our government from the Congress to the President to the City Council are making virtually all their decisions from economic point of view, with very little consideration to the environment and present and future needs of humanity.
There are a great many people of integrity and vision that are not corrupted by corporate interests that could be our leaders and that can help solve humanities most pressing problems and help alleviate most of the suffering in our world. In my mind, it doesn’t matter what industries or backgrounds these people come from. The fact is, we are running out of time in many parts of our civilization such as the environment, social, economic and political areas. We need fresh new ideas and solutions that already exist in many quarters but are being ignored by the political and corporate powers that be.
With the current political structure(s) in the Americas, Asia and Europe (mostly the Western nations), people of conscience and with vision, dare not come forth for fear of attack or worst. I do not profess to be one of them, nor am I running for any political party, but I do want to help to put out some ideas to perhaps lay the ground work for them to come forward and create a new political party with fresh ideas, courage, vision and willing to face all problems head on.
Putting aside our differences, I see progressive political leaders telling us a different story of where were at, who we are and where we can be. We need new leaders to not only tell us the truth of what we are doing to ourselves and the Earth with the type of system we have, but create the conditions in our political, educational, scientific, social and economic structures for allowing the individual to reach his or her greatest potentials. Right now in the US for example, we are saddling future generations with such an enormous debt, that left unchecked, our debt will reach such proportions that many services such as social security, Medicare, funding to States will be drastically reduced just so the Federal Government can pay off the debt. This reality is already taking place with the Congress cutting back on Medicaid subsidies to the States.
I advocate that people of conscience come forth and confront the current political, economic and perhaps social structures of these nations. Note, I am saying to work within the existing political structures and not tear them down.Every day, there are dozens of stories in the mainstream media that our political, ecological and economic structures are so stressed to the max, that if just one more major calamity takes place, such as a terrorist attack, catastrophe of nature, e.g. erupting volcano, hurricane or earthquake, etc, it will cause ripple effects on other existing systems and result in collapse. There are alternatives and these are what I want to address. This new political party I speak of, will be composed of men and women of vision, courage and incorruptible to the corporate, military and political forces currently in power today.
There are millions of websites and blogs that are addressing the problems that humanity faces daily. What is different about this website, I will address the issues confronting humanity from an esoteric studies and occult point of view, when appropriate. Looking at the problems from just a limited “what’s in front of us” mentality will in most cases just make the problem worse, such as fueling lower consciousness thoughtforms (mindset) with more of the same. I believe it is possible to confront the current “business as usual” mentality without anger or complaining, a mentality that has created the mess we’re currently in by looking at the problems from spiritual or multi-dimensional perspective. This will give new life to the issue and present fresh ideas and ultimately solutions, not previously considered. We are all ONE family, we share a common human soul and are children of God. Thus in my mind, there is no separation between you the reader and me the writer since we are experiencing and co-creating the same reality within the mind and heart of God’s creation – simultaneously.
We all carry with us a critical part of the whole – our spark of divinity. By becoming “conscious” of the fact that we are co-creators with God, we are together participating in His creation. So from my understanding, God differentiated Himself/Herself into myriad finite states (humans) because it is was not possible to find definition in the ONE whole, therefore, parts of God became finite in order to become self aware. Thus we have evolution.
More to the point, another way of defining purpose for this website, is that in this extremely limited 3D reality, which we call planet Earth, we are by all indications and through numerous reliable sources, in the final days, months and years of this great civilization. Since the last great civilization Atlantis also destroyed itself, there’s suggestions through archeological study and existing literature that many of its inhabitants too, knew they were running out of time and destroying themselves through abuse of the environment, and technology not governed by wisdom. Are we going to do the same? I am of the opinion, that the forces which currently dominate the planet, be it political, economic, social, cultural, religious or scientific are in so many words “willfully letting and knowing the destruction happen” simply by their lack of action towards saving the planet. They are dooming future generations to either a planet of miserable existence or allowing this to be the terminal generation.
There are volumes of material, enough to fill warehouses, compiled by experts, independent studies, scholars, think-tanks, and scientists who have devoted their life’s work to all say the same thing: “we’re running out of time with what we’re doing to the Earth”. Then there are those of us right now, that are called progressives or the “cultural creatives” (term coined by Paul Ray and Sherry Ruth Anderson) as one’s who see what is happening in all these different sectors of humanity, but choose to define a different path for Earth and even try to wake up those that have the power to effect change and SAVE our planet from inevitable destruction. I am one of those people. With the existence of these two very different mindsets, I acknowledge great polarity exists in our world but only as a great paradox, for we are ONE now and forever, whether we realize it or not.. I of course, choose and desire for our civilization to continue, grow, flourish and evolve but with some radical changes necessary to be in place for our continued survival. I definitely foresee a time in the not too distant future, where respect for all life will be foremost in the consciousness of all leaders and that the corruption of today’s civilization will be the stuff of old stories and not current events.
The contents of this website are designed to confront and address some of the world’s most pressing problems. I honestly don’t care if any credit is given to me for what I say but I sure will acknowledge credit to those who have similar thoughts and they will be noted in this website. As I grow and expand in my own awareness, so will the ideas in this website evolve too. I am deliberately writing and commenting on many topics with my personal opinion as this is a blog website. My insights, ideas and opinions will be quite controversial to most but my different bent on these topics will be coming from my own “spiritual point-of-view”. Special note, you will have to read enough of my writings to get a flavor of what “spiritual” means to me. Lastly, please know that I am not so smug to say that because I have written such an opinion that it is encased in stone and can’t be shown another understanding. Perhaps, you too have comments and insights you want to share?
