(I love your name!) What an excellent video and post!!! I love the idea that the human race wants to grow up, and that the old paradigm is really so childish. Collecting toys, avoiding responsibility--wow so true!!!!!

The occupy movement is to me a sign that people want to survive!! It is a--life affirming--movement, saying 'We want everyone to LIVE, everyone to LOVE, reaffirming our interconnection with all life on the planet. We are finished being lied to and lying to ourselves--done.' It is a sign of health and vitality and what a beautiful thing this is!!!

We are at the beginning of this wave, the first ones who are initiating this shift, we may not know exactly how we are going to get from point A to point B, but we are gathering consensus and starting this movement. It is frustrating because of all the destruction and chaos--it is hard to see how everything will turn out.

For me a huge obstacle to overcome is TRUST--something the old paradigm of control worked so hard to take away from us, trust that the planet can sustain us (it doesn't belong to us according to them!) and in each other--the old system has so much cruelty and divisiveness built into it.

We have to, step by step, RELEARN to trust each other--by building alliances, re-weaving the tapestry of relating with each other, practicing kindness and compassion, forgiveness and love--THIS is the path I believe in.

Peace and Light to you earth mother, and to all here, it is such a joy to witness this shift happening!!
