There seems to be a new archetype at play these days. A new God that has been taking form throughout modern time. This entity is known to us today as Chicken Little. Chicken Little has his own mantra that when repeated over and over gives him more strength and power. Some know this mantra all too well and are teaching it to our children and our children’s children. It can be spoken in many different ways and in all languages around the globe. “The sky is falling, the sky is falling!”

I am sure you know this mantra well. If you repeat it enough times, believe it or not, the sky will fall. Chicken Little has become the most powerful Deity of our time. He has the largest following ever recorded in our modern history and one of the largest if not the largest priesthoods ever. You should take a look at the monasteries. They are full of children. Your children are likely attending one of Chicken Little’s monasteries right now. They are all over the world and he leads his teachings with an advertisement of no child left behind.

Chicken Little’s religion of fear is preached every day, throughout the day, via one of the greatest evangelical networks ever created. The mass population is addicted to his message as they wake up to it every morning as they prepare for their day embodying his words as truths and something to live by. Talk about the ultimate in “wake and bake”. Devoted followers repeatedly kneel at the altar of Chicken Little throughout the day as his priests and priestesses are active tending to the temples and serving the flocks.

Beloved Friends, Chicken Little is a false God. His message of fear is a lie. This fear is not real but an illusion designed to encourage you to give your power over to the Church. The sky falling is the greatest hoax ever played on mankind. As a population we have been taught by those who would make you believe that they have our best interests in mind. They want you to believe that if you sacrifice your love and give up your freedoms that they will keep you safe. Don’t believe them.

Fear is a lie! The sky is not falling and will not fall. It is not possible. Your fears are a learned response and have been taught to you. You have been manipulated by false prophets and false teachings specifically designed to distract you from the one true Divine force in our world, Love.

Love is the natural order to all things. The only true religion. You do not need to be taught Love for it is the way of all things. Fear has been designed by mankind for personal gain. Their greatest fear is that you will remember and unleash the Love within you bringing an end to their greed accounts and their power of status.

These false prophets need our Love now more then ever. They are the ones who are afraid for they truly believe in their message of doom and gloom. They need us to unlearn the fear and unleash our Love, to embrace them and to help guide them to the inner truth that is Love.

Let us remember for the moment that wars are not just country against country but also governments against its very own people. There are wars against drugs, wars against poverty, wars against hunger, wars against terrorism and even wars against wars. Fights break out between brothers, fathers and sons, mothers and daughters and employers and employees. Hatred and anger is expressed on the road, in the grocery store and even shopping at Christmas time.

This begs the question, how can we stop fighting across borders when we are unable to stop fighting in our own living rooms? It is important to understand that peace, world peace or the “peace movement” is not just about ending war and global conflicts even though this has been the peace movement’s main “battle” for years.

The “peace movement” has been going on since I can remember. I was born in late 1963; some of my most vivid memories of childhood are from the late sixties during the Vietnam War. My Aunts and Uncles participated in marches, sit-ins and even peace prayers at that time. And still today this goes on as we trade in one conflict for another. None of these tactics seem to work in the long term. Forty years later we are still at war, anger still rages in the streets, parents discipline their children for fighting and shoppers are killing for the best price.

Although it has been scientifically proven that peace prayers do have some affect on the global community, lowered crime rates and unexplained ceasefires, this is yet only a bandage not a cure. Temporary moments of peace are encouraging but we need a longer term plan not short term fixes.

Friends, we have a choice to make. We can ask or petition God to bestow peace upon the Earth and simply continue to wait until He/She gets around to it. Or we the can take the matter into our own hands. Every one of us can adopt the personal responsibility of consciously and deliberately creating for ourselves, each other and our children a world where peace is the way. The only way! Right here, right now and within our lifetime.

This task is not as daunting as it might sound. We do not have to create the peace we are looking for as it already exists. Where is it you ask? Take a look inside and there you will find it nestled safely within each and every one of our very own hearts. The peace movement is truly not about making things change outside of ourselves; it is about moving ourselves into that place of peace that already exists within each one of us.

If we stop screaming and fighting so much, take a pause from the chaos of life for a moment, sit down and take in a big resounding breath we will remember that place of love and peace we were all born from. Believe it or not it is still within us all. All of us!

Now that we are all here remembering and standing before this palace of blissful calm and peace, let’s move in. Move yourself into the peace palace with all of your belongings. There is plenty of room for All. This is the peace movement or the moving into peace. We are all now surrounded by peace, it is all around us. We have moved in, taken up house. We are all sharing space in the palace of peace.

Next, take in another one of those resounding breaths and breathe it in. Let us all take in a few more deep breaths and fill ourselves with the peace that surrounds us. Breathe here for a while as we replace, or exchange, our inner air with the breath of peace. Fill yourself up! Now, peace is within us all. The palace of peace dwells with us as we dwell within it.

The peace movement is complete because we have moved into peace as peace has moved into us. Welcome my friends to the New World. Remember to be kind and gentle with yourselves and others fore the path we are now on is as a razors edge. We shall lift each other up as we slip and fall fore we will surely slip and fall.

To adopt a few words from our Beloved President Obama, we must all be vigilant in upholding the values we believe in. Living in this state of peace does not make us weaker it makes us stronger. Go in peace not just in words but in deeds and be an example to all of those who would dare to thwart you from this path.

My Friends, these are extraordinary times we live in. Change is all around us. Vibrational energies are waiting for us to simply align ourselves with them. Peace IS at hand. With our very next breath peace will be realized. Our children’s children will live in world where there will only be memories of hatred and war, silly stories talked about on the playground. As one by one we move into the palace of peace we change the world.

Peace Be With You!

We live off the grid and our home is solar powered. Some who use solar power put their solar array on an automated tracking system so that the panels turn toward the sun on their own. I chose to manually turn our panels every day throughout the day. This daily act over the past eight years has brought me into a direct relationship with the Sun. Throughout the year I have the opportunity to see where on the horizon the Sun rises and sets and how high up above the horizon it moves.

Using and tending to our renewable energy system is part of my spiritual and religious practice. The practice of daily sun salutations, either yoga or resh, has been replaced by the daily ritual of turning the solar array. Equinoxes and Solstices become more important as we experience the changing affects that the different seasons bring with more power in the summer and less in the winter. By the time the Winter Solstice arrives we find ourselves longing for longer days and are filled with excitement as we watch our power increase with each day as the Sun rises earlier and sets later.

It is my belief that our society has simply stopped paying much, if any, attention to the Sun. We have forgotten all the beauty that surrounds us thanks to the Sun. All the sustenance we receive, the food we eat, the water we drink, the transmutation of solar energy that takes place within our own bodies, and let us not forget the warmth of the day. Most important the sun is critical to the photosynthesizing plants where in the plants transmute the carbon dioxide in the air into the oxygen we need to breath.

It seems as though that our days are so filled with the struggles of the mundane that we simply take for granted that the Sun will rise tomorrow. And it will! For now, thankfully, the one thing we can count on is that the Sun rise is a constant.

However, one of the lessons contained in the Arthurian myths is ‘that that which we stop paying attention to goes away’, like the Pagan Gods. Imagine for just a moment where we would all be if the Sun decided to go away. Its endless light and radiance simply stopped shining upon our beautiful Earth. Imagine, if you will, some catastrophic event that we humans have created that hides the Sun from us yet we know it is still there. Where would we all be without the Sun? Dead! No longer in existence!

In ancient times the people actually gave their attention to the Sun. Worshiped it even. They built temples that honored the changing of the seasons. Some very sensibly built their homes and communities in ways that the Sun would shine on them all day long keeping them warm even during the coldest of seasons. Some of humankind’s earliest technologies were solar powered clocks and calendars. Over time religions of the Sun became religions of the One God and his Son or prophets. We lost reverence for the God the Sun in our sky. Yet while spiritual and religious practice has lost its association with the sun, we still know and understand its power.

Scientists say that enough solar energy reaches the surface of the Earth in one day to provide all of us with enough power for a year. One year for one day for all the electricity we humans consume. This even includes the energy needed to produce the technology necessary to convert solar energy into electricity.

With the energy of the Sun, we can power our lights, our homes and even our cars. In the renewable energy industry there is a saying; “priority should always be given to the Sun“. This is more important today then ever before. With the ever increasing population and the endless consumption of natural resources the time has come for us as a species to turn full circle and look up once again towards the Sun.

Today’s Sun worshipers build and use the temples of technology that honor and worship the Sun. Such temples include solar photovoltaic panels, water heaters, thermal collectors and solar ovens. There is nothing tastier then a sweet potato cooked in a solar oven. A solar oven actually infuses the food with solar particals, otherwise known as photons or energy of light, that when eaten are transmuted into the Sun worshipers body.

It seems to me that we are all currently paying attention to the “wrong” things. We spend our days under artificial light. We cook our food using artificial heat and wave forms. We heat our homes and travel about by consuming non-renewable resources. We have even begun to grow our food using these artificial means. We talk environmentalism as a society but we put profitability and economics ahead of everything else.

Maybe I am being too harsh. Maybe it is not the “wrong” things we are paying attention to at all. But I definitely know what we are not paying attention to, and that is the things of the Sun.

Natural light, the warmth of the day, the taste of natural grown and solar cooked food, the feeling of Sun’s light on our skin as we walk through the grasses, trees and wild flowers. Nature and the stuff of nature are in a constant state of co-creation with the Sun for us to enjoy and participate in its endless beauty. And what we have forgotten most of all is that we are a part of this delicate balance, not apart from it.

As we participate in our daily lives let us all remember the new mantra given to us by today’s Neo-Sun Worshipers; “Priority should always be given to the Sun“. Let us remember that without this great and wonderful power we do not exist. Let us live our lives, daily, accepting and practicing this as truth.

It is time that we all bring our attention back to the Sun.
