What is the true meaning of war?

When I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr David Hawkins, we discussed how in the 20th century, there was war taking place in some place somewhere in the world 97% of the time. Despite all the technological advances and the rising level of human consciousness, we have been at war for 100% of the time in this century. The corporate-owned media behave more like mouth-pieces for those who gain most from war.

Let’s get one thing right. War is a business. Governments who purport to be propagating freedom and democracy by invading sovereign nations have no intention of liberating those whose land they occupy. In fact, their own country is far from democratic or free. What democracy exists are token gestures to appease the public. The people who gain most from war are the Military-Industrial Complex and Central Banks, which are all owned by a small group of industrialists.

If you haven’t seen the movie, Zeitgeist, then I urge you to watch it as it explains the nature of money creation excellently. War is the most expensive business any government can partake in. The money to pay for war comes from the public via loans from Central Banks (owned by private individuals). Your money feeds the war machine  with all the devastation they cause. Last year $1.7 trillion dollars in 2012 particularly by the USA, China and Russia. Today’s latest British news include the killing of three British soldiers in Afghanistan, bringing total British soldiers killed to 444 since 2001 when the allied forces invaded the country. Of course, the statistics for civilian lives and casualties are far greater in number. These people whose lives are taken by militia are called ‘collateral damage’ just like some kind of minor side effect of war. The reality is that most wars lead to the deaths of far more innocent men, women and children than soldiers.

I have wracked my brain on many occasions on whether any military is needed at all. I wish it were the case that humans were evolved enough to live in peace without the threat of conflict. In reality, every country does need to have some form of military on standby perchance some lunatic or groups of lunatics decide to threaten nationals. Humanity’s collective consciousness is still not high enough to avert such dangers with diplomacy. However, when a government is controlled or even owned by corporations, especially from industries that profit from war-mongering, then the probability of war is very high.

Solutions? Perhaps we need to revisit our definition of democracy. Who is the government accountable to – the people or corporations? Are the transactions, activities and sponsors of politicians transparent to the public on a daily basis? How long do we wish to tolerate fear-mongering by politicians, the media and those who are in places of power?

The greatest solutions will not come from those who are already running an old corrupted and corruptible system. The change that needs to take place must come from oneself. We must questions our own modus operandi and ask questions such as:

• “Do I operate from a place of fear or a space of lovingness and compassion?”
• “Am I driven by past conditioning and programming or am I heart-centred?”
• “Am I taking orders from my head or listening to my intuition and following my heart?”
• “Am I authentic, transparent and working from integrity?”
• “What am I doing to make a difference to the lives I am touching right now?”

These and many more questions need to be asked of oneself. What is the point of replacing one corrupt leader with someone else who is corruptible. I am sure the vast majority of those who end up in positions of power probably had very good intentions at the beginning of their life journey. There is no doubt that we need to change from within before we expect others to change. War is not going to go away too soon. The people who propagate it have far too much invested in conflict to give it up without a fight. However, we can and we will replace the war-mongers one funeral at a time. Even they cannot live forever. The challenge is to replace our leaders with those who are lovers of peace, balance and harmony.

No Fluoride Rap

How amazing is it that at the same time I was blogging on how to remove sodium fluoride from the body that a friend of mine from Portland starts sharing his rap on fluoride on YouTube. Bizarrely, neither of us knew that the other was working on sharing this message – him through his music and me through my book, Shattering the Grandest Illusions. Check out this video…

In ‘Transcending the Grandest Illusions’, readers will discover the ten grandest illusions that have taken humanity and our planet to the brink of destruction. The balance can only be redressed by individuals who step up to the plate in their lives and take charge of their own lives before they inspire others to do the same. In ‘Transcending the Grandest Illusions’, readers will also learn about ten of the most transformative practices to switch their life from being deluded by the plethora of illusions.

How are We Feeding the World?

One of the greatest human tragedies is how individuals have abdicated their own personal power to those in places of authority. This is clearly demonstrated by a documentary I’ve just watched called ‘We Feed the World‘. Even though it was made in 2004, very little has changed. One of my big concerns is the way water is regarded by individuals and by companies. Clearly, it is a big concern to the 884 million people who do not have access to clean water on a daily basis and the 3.575 million people who die every year from preventable, water-related diseases. Thus, isn’t it the duty of those with knowledge and resources to support those who are suffering and dying?

On the other hand, companies such as Nestlé, the world’s largest producer of bottled drinking water have other things in mind. Nestlé employ over 275,000 people all over the world and have a direct influence via their employees to 4.5 million people. According to its CEO, Peter Brabeck, its annual turnover is $65 billion and is the owner of Perrier, Pellegrino water as well as many other household brands. This is what Brabeck has to say about water:

“Water is the most important raw material we have in the world today. It’s a question of whether we should privatise the normal water supply for the population. One opinion, which I think is extreme, is represented by the NGO’s who bang on about declaring water a public right. That means as a human being you should have a right to water. That’s an extreme solution. And the other view says that water is a foodstuff like any other foodstuff and should have a market value. Personally, I believe it’s better to give a foodstuff a value so that we are all aware that it has a price and that one should take specific measures for the part of the population that has no access to this water and there are many different possibilities there.”

There is clearly a mismatch between what the public see as simple food commodities and what intentions large corporations such as Nestlé (the 27th biggest company in the world) have in mind for the future of the world. Many people such as I believe that we need to open our eyes to reality and begin to take power back into our own hands. The world will never changed until you and I change as individuals. The first thing is to become informed. I recommend you make We Feed the World a priority to watch as a documentary. Here is the trailer for this informative and engaging film:

The Power of Women

It seems like my continual support for women to step up into their true power is certainly not a lone voice. Here is a presentation by His Holiness Dalai Lama which all men and, especially women need to watch. Here is a true spiritual master who shares a genuine interest in both science and spirituality to explain the condition of humanity and our planet. Enjoy the video!

528 – The Sacred Number for the Love Revolution

If an extra-terrestial being was to arrive on Earth today, it’s summation would be straight forward. The world is experiencing a massive revolution. For decades, corporate giants, the Military-Industrial Complex who profiteer from war, Big Pharma who profiteer from the sick and the dying, oil companies who have been raping the planet’s resources, the Banksters who have a stranglehold on world economies and their henchmen and political puppets have brought our planet to the brink of final collapse.

There are very few experts in the world who are as knowledgeable and researched on the planet’s most urgent problems than Dr Leonard Horowitz. His books, talks and interviews have been controversial, to say the least, and have certainly had a huge impact on entire nations as he has taken on the worst perpetrators of the crime of trying to dumb down the consciousness of our species. During this interview with Harun Rabbani, Dr Horowitz will be revealing one of the most revolutionary findings that may just have the answer to Humanity’s greatest problems – Love is the answer and Dr Horowitz has got the evidence to back it up. This is a must-attend live interview. No matter where you are in the world, you have the opportunity to put your question to him and hear his answers live.

Meat-Eaters Protect Yourselves!

Over the last couple of years, I have been increasing my research into food, drinks and other foodstuffs for two particular reasons – the health of my family and for my book, Shattering the Grandest Illusions. I can tell you one thing I am certainly not deluded by: the incredible amount of poisons (a.k.a ‘toxins’ to make it easier to swallow) that are imbued within the food stuff.

My conclusions are pretty straight-forward. The vast majority of the diseases suffered by humans are directly related to the food we eat. I know. I worked in the medical devices industry specialising in endoscopy equipment for gastro-intestinal diseases. Therefore, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that we can remove the majority of the causes for diseases such as cancer by simply changing our eating habits.

So, you can imagine my horror when I read an article by ‘What Doctors Don’t Tell You’ earlier today:

“People who regularly eat chicken and other meat are unwittingly making themselves more susceptible to antibiotic-resistant ‘super bugs’.  Poultry farmers are illegally using a broad-spectrum antibiotic in animal feeds that was banned for agricultural use in 2005.”

The antibiotic that is being referred to is fluoroquinolone, which was banned because it is becoming increasingly inoccuous to a resistant superbug. For years, farmers have been knowingky using drugs to fatten up chickens, sheep and beef simply to increase profits. I remember the absolute craziness surrounding the Mad Cow’s Disease (BSE) fiasco in the 1990s. Can you believe cattle were being fed remains of other cattle in order to increase the yield? In the UK alone, 180,000 cows were infected and 4.5 million had to be slaughtered. Humans who got infected by the disease developed CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease). By 2003, 143 people had fatally been infected by CJD.

My further conclusion is that I cannot trust the meat-farming industry enough to continue eating meat. Today, I am primarily a pescetarian, which means I mainly eat vegetables and fish. Converting from a regular meat-eater to a primarily vegetarian diet was far more easier than I thought. Then again, I’m very lucky – I have Chrissy White and her Gourmet Revolution Show to help guide me! Chrissy will be interviewing a seasoned expert, Juliet Gellatley, in phasing into a vegetarian diet. Juliet is the Founder and Director of  founder and director of Viva! - Vegetarians International Voice for Animals.

• Time: 7pm BST (British Summer Time)/11am PST/2pm EST/8pm CET
• Date: Wednesday 11th April 2012
• Place: On the web on http://www.untangledfm.com
• Price: It’s FREE!

No registration is required. Simply visit http://www.untangledfm.com. If you miss the live show, then you can hear the replay within minutes by visiting http://untangledfm.com/index.php/replays

Join The Gourmet Revolution Show and discover the astonishing truth about the meat and dairy industries. Juliet  Gellately has a vitally important and positive message that will inspire you to rethink you relationship to meat and dairy, challenging the deep seated beliefs that exist around animal based foods. Hear how she really highlights the healthy, guilt free options available to us all. When you are ready for change, want to supercharge your health and just don’t know what to do….start here!

As a final note, personally I do not believe everybody should become a complete vegetarian. That is certainly a personal choice. However, I strongly believe everybody has the right to know what external additives and toxins go into their food before making a decision to eat. As there is less chance of contaminating vegetables (with the exception of herbicides, pesticidesa and GMO!!!), I opt for that option for my family and I.

ABOUT JULIET GELLATLEY

Juliet Gellatley is the founder and director of Viva! - Vegetarians International Voice for Animals – a campaigning group based in Bristol, UK. We have a sister group, Viva! Poland (also founded by Juliet) in Poland – www.viva.org.pl.

Juliet originated National Vegetarian Week (when working for the Vegetarian Society as campaigns director in the 1980s and 90s) with the support of Linda McCartney and her campaign SCREAM!! took the truth about factory farming into the nation’s schools for the first time. The result was a network of youth campaigners across Britain which dramatically increased vegetarianism amongst young people.

 By working closely with education authorities, her CHOICE! campaign increased the number of schools offering healthy vegetarian main meals from 13 per cent to 65 per cent. She launched and edited the first veggie youth mag in the UK, Greenscene.  After her adult campaign Feeding You the Facts, a survey revealed that vegetarianism in Britain had doubled in one year.  She left the Society as director in 1994 to found Viva!.

Viva! is a vegetarian and vegan organisation which campaigns energetically to end the abuse of animals killed for food.  It is motivated by passion and backed by science. Juliet also founded and directs the UK national charity, the Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation, which launched in 2002 and concentrates on campaigning on health and nutrition. All groups are funded by public donations.

Does the Business World Need a Revolution?

“That will be £2.20, sir”, I said to the customer who proceeded to pay for his Chicken Curry and Pillau Rice.

That was the first customer order I took for my dad at his take-away in 1982. In those days, we let people know we existed via newspaper ads and leaflet drops. I was responsible for the ads. Then we would work our butts off to cook the best food and give the best service we knew how. Unfortunately, my dad was not the award-winning chef he would be ten years later and we were not located in a town famous for its connoisseurs of world cuisine. The true curry fans associated the curry with getting drunk before eating the hottest dish on the menu or even off the menu! Sunderland was also going through the worst recession in its history. Therefore, to say business was tough is an understatement. Unsurprisingly, our business shut down in less time than we could have imagined.

There is no doubt that, historically, most entrepreneurs go into business to make a profit. Given that there are 4.5million businesses in the UK and 99% are SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises), many of which are sole traders and partnerships, cashflow is the main means of survival. In fact, the British economy is hugely dependent on SME’s to thrive.

However, in a desperation to merely survival (50% of businesses fail in the first year and 97% by the third year), many entrepreneurs end up following the herd and resort to methods to market their business, which is out of integrity. In the 1970s and ’80s, motoring magazines were usually on or near the top shelf. Car and motorcycle ads would have bikini-clad size zero models sprewn over the vehicle. That hasn’t completely disappeared today. Today, the gaming industry uses sex and gratuitous violence (computer games) to attract a younger audience.

Of course, how can the sales profession be ignored? Most people loathe pushy salespeople who are in your face, right? So, why do so many people do it? I left the sales-training industry in 2007 specifically because the sales trainers who were the most successful in getting clients were teaching fear-based selling. What does that say about the state of business?

Ever since I ran like a the Road-Runner from the sales-training industry, I have been praying for a new way to sell to be revealed to us. At the end of last year, my prayers were answered! Unbeknownst to me, one of my new friends, Lynn Serafin, had been researching like crazy about sales and marketing in order to find a new, integral and integrated way for businesses to attract customers and keeping them. Her book, ‘The Seven Graces of Marketing‘, is the new bible for ANYBODY and EVERYBODY who wishes to build a profitable business that creates true value for the enterprise, the customer and the world.

Lynn will be joining me on tonight’s Consciousness Revolution Show at 7pm BST (British Summer Time) to reveal what it takes to move a business from merely surviving to going beyond thriving by understanding the Seven Deadly Sins of Marketing and the Seven Graces of Marketing. Here are the details:

• Time: 7pm BST, 11am PST, 2pm EST, 8pm CET, 11.30pm IST
• Date: Monday 9th April 2012
• Place: on http://www.untangledfm.com
• Price: FREE

If you own a business, wish to start a business or are looking for ways to be more successful in business, then feel free to tune in. Does the business world need a revolution? Actually, that question no longer matters. The revolution has already started!
