Hello, wonderful vibs and probably too much for me to read right now but I came through the "Vision for a New Politics" that I pasted below, but the links don't work. If anybody can please direct me towards the correct page. I believe we need a participative democracy, the only sustainable future will be possible only if based on small scale economy, small communities that will interact between each other, trade only for products which are not available locally, live in accordance with the laws of nature (not against as it is happening now), all this will happen naturally if there is a paradigm shift in the way we think, which thing is already happening all over the world, United Communities of Spirit and Global Resonance Network is a good example of this (see also http://worldshiftcouncil.org). There is a major urgency that this paradigm shift is embraced by the mainstream, since our institutions, the global economy and Western Uncivilisation mindset are locked into a suicidal race towards massive destruction. We have lost our connection to our divine nature and with it is gone the respect and care for each other, the animal kingdom, the Earth.

“Spirit, Mind, Body.

We are the new generation whose consciousness has evolved, this includes awareness of our spirit (knowing where we come from, our purpose in life, our relationship with the others, our place in history), awareness of our mind (being conscious of our potentials, nurturing our ability to learn, promoting good education for our children), awareness of our body (taking care and responsibility of our physical health, understanding the food we eat, understanding the importance of a healthy lifestyle), awareness of our environment (caring for our planet, taking care of the other animal species, plants, soil, oceans and air we all share), awareness that through love and care for the others we will create the perfect world we all wish in our dreams. “

Namaste' and peace
