Another Spiritual connection to Global Warming, Climate Change, and Global Marshall Plan Initiative Thanks to anonymous 10:08 and Dorothy (previous comments) for the “Beyond Theology” information and links. I’ll be spending some time listening to the programs. The topic being “Beyond Theology” is very accurate in describing the ”spiritual” “consciousness evolution” taking place throughout society. This morning I went back to check for any updates at the “Global Marshall Plan” sites. The Bali conference has taken place with it’s inevitable outcomes, I wanted to see what Up-coming events global warming crowd has next on their agenda. I am convinced the “global warming crisis” is a calculated, part of the larger PLAN that will be used to unite the people of the planet. Please take a look at the following information. Perhaps you will agree, perhaps not. The “new spirituality” is altogether inclusive. I’m posting the links to the items I found to be the most interesting. These links all came through The Global Marshall Plan Website. January 20-23 : The 5th WSF World Spirit Forum : ***“(X)change consciousness” To be held in Arosa, Switzerland. January 20-23 2008 Arosa, Switzerland “A collaboration on the questions:-Does the Global Climate Change demand a Global Spirituality?” “How to use Our Knowledge Wisely”
“We can leave behind the patterns that led us to the global crisis. We can do so by exploring spirituality that tunes into resonant circuits of live again. We need to be spiritually aware: for ourselves, for our neighbours, for the environment and to witness to the miracles of the cosmos. We have to rediscover the divine in everything and in all of us.

"Beyond Theology" update. I did a blog search for this on google with PBS. I had three hits. Only one was on the series. The person thought it was great. The man had seen the episode "Ground of Being". It featured the following people, Sr. Joan Chittister, John Shelby Spong, Karen Armstrong, and James Forbes.
By the way you can purchase the whole series for $60.
You are so very precise -- moreover, I believe what is going down with this to be a very literal possible fulfillment about the prophecies of "the beast and his image" and I am increasingly suspecting that the IMAGE could be the "WHOLE EARTH" itself, also variously known as "Mother Nature," "Gaia", "Mama (Paul Hawken), etc.
My reason for suspecting this in particular is based on Revelation chapter 14:7-8 (hope I gave right cite, I am doing so from memory) which reads "Fear God and give glory to Him for the hour of His judgment is come. Worship God who created the heaven, the earth, the seas, and the fountains of waters."
Under the guise of needing a "central unifying principle," i.e. we must honor "Mother Earth" to properly care for her, folks are being united. The provision "made for dissidents" is to get them to help establish these structures to be used against monotheism by convincing them that (1) the phony crisis is real; and (2) this is CHRISTIAN environmentalism.
Now, everybody is an environmentalist of sorts when it comes to our air and water, etc., but the agenda here is clearly, in my opinion 1) GLOBAL GOVERNANCE aided by the a newly globalized RELIGIOUS IMPULSE.
Jeremy Rifkin was pushing this agenda, as were many others starting in 1975 and in the 1980s and they honestly thought they would do it then, but obviously God gave us a reprieve.
The situation may be much more critical now. Paul Hawken's boasts that I have posted to my site many times are one tiny indication and that combined with the BEYOND THEOLOGY, ETC. are now.
Rudi, you write brilliantly. You too need your own blogspot!
Wow! Thanks for calling the World Spirituality Forum to my attention, Rudi. This is a clear divide that we must not cross at the risk of our very souls:
"In An Inconvenient Truth Al Gore says that the one element missing in turning our climate change situation around is the political will. I agree, yet feel that we as an awakened humanity need to unite, now more than ever before, to demand this change in will. I went to a climate change rally in Sydney and the sentiment expressed by Senator Bob Brown said it perfectly: Earth has supported and nurtured us for generations. It’s now time for us to return the favor."
This is coming now frighteningly close to home. We must pray always that God will give us the grace to come through these times/"escape these things to come upon the earth" but always remember that no matter how it comes down, it's in God's perfect will.
I just watched all three videos. Pretty much the same crowd I have watched from the 1980s, but they are older, longer in the tooth, and more determined now than ever. They aren't playing!
Earth Wisdom Council Totnes Transition City Squeakbox heavily involved with Totnes, maybe even more New Age than Findhorn Squeakbox who claims Haile Selassie is God Squeakbox who butchered my Wikipedia article on Solana and has been rewriting Solana's genealogy to try to rename his grandpa as great uncle and rewrite his mother from Nieves de Madariaga Mathews (Mathews is presumably a later in life remarried name) to "Obdulia de Madariaga" Squeakbox who is one of Javier Solana's greatest sycophants and online butchers aided by the not so discerning One Salient Oversight This is all intertwined.
Since its Inauguration in l998 the World Commission (WC) has taken as one of its highest priorities the importance of forming powerful networks, partnerships and collaborations in the interest of fostering growing circles and forces for creative transformation on a planetary scale. Over the past five years the Commissioners have sought to implement this stratagem in seeking to fulfil our vision and mission of working to bring forth a more peaceful, just and humane world.
The Commission has come to realize increasingly that it is vital now to engage in deep systematic networking to help convene, harness and augment further conscious collaboration. We realize that there is already an awesome and growing range of initiatives already proceeding in more localized and scattered ways which are directly aligned with the mission and vision of the Commission. Indeed, it is now clearer than ever that such concerted networking is a moral imperative if the Commission is to have a real impact for mass change in the 21st Century.
Here the Commission subscribes to the principle that such deep networking – making truly significant collaborative connections – produces mutual enhancement and synergy in which all participants are augmented and an exponentially greater force for creative change is thereby produced. Furthermore, in our ongoing deliberations and retreats over the past three years the Commissioners have identified a number of fundamental areas of concern which have emerged as pressing priorities in fulfilling our collective mission.
We realize that in addition to the remarkable range of initiatives in which our distinguished Commissioners are already involved, there is a vast and growing range of creative individuals and organizations that are already directly aligned with our mission and vision. So the Commission sees it as an obvious next step to seek to identify and convene such individuals and initiatives in a range of "Global Councils" as a powerful and natural way to forge effective strategic partnerships in common cause.
In this spirit the Commission is now actively developing the following Global Councils as a powerful way to carry forth our mission on a planetary scale. These Councils may be seen as "Sub–Commissions" – as direct extensions and outreach of the Commission into diverse primary aspects of planetary cultural life. As such each Council will have direct participation of Commissioners who will report directly to the World Commission and keep the Commission as a whole fully informed about developments.
The Commissioners have made initial nominations to the various Councils, and as these Councils are formed it is expected that the members of each Council will begin exploratory dialogues to decide on how best to proceed. It is to be expected that each Council will develop and unfold in its own way and come up with creative and innovative ideas of how to be most effective as a Council.
The Commissioners realize of course that there is already a tremendous virtue and advance in the mere fact of the formation of such a Council and of convening diverse leaders together in dialogue who may not have been hitherto directly in collaboration, nor working in concert with the World Commission.
As a matter of Protocol, the Commission would naturally want to review and approve any proposed project or initiative that may be undertaken by a given Council in the name of the ((World Commission)). And the Commission would have a direct and decisive voice in ensuring that each Council attains and maintains the highest standards of moral and professional integrity appropriate to the our Commission.
Although there are no funds at this point to subsidize these Councils, it is hoped and expected that the timeliness and power of this initiative will attract significant funding. This of course would open all sorts of exciting creative possibilities for future separate and plenary meetings of the Councils with the ((World Commission)) as this initiative takes root and evolves. So in this spirit here are the initially proposed names and provisional nominees of the Councils:
1) Global Council on Indigenous Wisdom & Wellbeing: Leroy Little Bear, Angaangaq Lybert, Woody Vaspra, Diane Longboat, George Amiotte, Chief Jake Swamp, Judy Swamp, Vickie Downey, Joseph Rael, Nancy Maryboy, Leon Secatero
2) Global Council on Education in the 21st Century: Jane Goodall, David Scott, Helga Breuninger, Riane Eisler, Sunita Gandhi, Dee Dickinson, Fred Mednick, Usha Ballamore, Manish Jain
3) Global Council on Peace & Conflict Resolution: Desmond Tutu, Arun Gandhi, John & Susan Marks, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Elie Wiesel, Rama Vernon
4) Global Council on Spirituality & Deep Ecology: Mary Evelyn Tucker, John Grimm, Brian Swimme, Duane Elgin, Wangari Maathai, Thomas Berry, Rupert Sheldrake, Jean Houston, Diane Williams
5) Global Council on Spiritual Politics & Global Citizenship: Al Gore, Dennis Kuccinich, Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, Cornel West, Robert Thurman, Tu Weiming, Barbara Bernstein
6) Global Council on Personal & Planetary Security: Jonathan Granoff, Mikhail Gorbachev, Douglas Roche, James George
7) Global Council on Planetary Ethics and Values: Steven Rockefeller, Ervin Laszlo, Vaslav Havel, Mary Robinson, Bette Williams, Oscar Arias Sanchez, Hafsat Abiola, Hans Kung, Diane Williams
8) Global Council on Conscious Economies, Corporate Responsiblity and Economic Justice: William Wallin (CAUX Round Table), David Korten, Thom Hartmann, John Dalla Costa, Christopher Laszlo, Rama Mani, Theo Cosmora
9) Global Council on Interfaith Dialogue & Inter–religious Relations: Karan Singh, James Parks Morton, William Vendley, Jim Kenney, Houston Smith, Suheil Bushuri, Diane Eke
10) Global Council on Planetary Sustainable Futures: Sesh Velamoor, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Don Beck
11) Global Council on Integral Medicine & Planetary Health: John Kabat–Zinn, Daniel Coleman, Andrew Weil, Larry Dossey, Rachel N. Remen, Lewis Mehl–Madrona
12) Global Council on Frontier Science & Sustainable Technologies: John Hagelin, Yasuhito Kimura, Elisabet Sahtouris, Mark Cummings, Fritjof Capra, Fred Alan Wolf, Peter Russell, Beverly Rubik, Peter Russell
13) Global Council on Islam & The West: Dr. Seyyed Nasr, Dr. Riffat Hassan, Dr. Akbar S. Ahmed, Dr. Michael Sells, Prince Hassan of Jordan, Queen Noor of Jordan, Dr. Omid Safi, Dr. Asghar Ali Engineer
14) Global Council on the Welfare of Youth and Emergence of Youth Leadership: Dr. Nina Meyerhof, Valentin Vollmer, Juliana Hepp, Dr. Helga Breuninger
15) Global Council on the Welfare, Wisdom & Empowerment of Women: Riffat Hasan, Audrey Kitagawa, Hafsat Abiola, Wangari Maathai, Diane Williams
