and pass it on to the next generation

The Winds of Change - A Guest Post by Michael Brine
The Winds of Change
“To-day Man stands at the decisive crossroads of his fate.” Major Wellesley Tudor Pole – 1960.
The “Winds of Change” are blowing across this world of ours and it is because of this awareness I have chosen to write these articles over the last several years. I am fully aware that there are those out there who may question my ideas - or, that I touch on sensitive issues relating to their Faiths creating perhaps some discomfort. No insults intended. Happily, I also know from responses I’ve had, that there are a good many who are supportive and even intrigued by some of the insights penned. This of course is encouraging.
Let me be clear. These “Insights” are not just mine but are shared by many others around the world. This realisation is because of the new element we are able to tract into in this ‘modern’ world we now share – The Internet! In the past, many of us felt we were operating in isolation, but the internet has brought us all together and with the happy awareness that we are not alone in our understanding.
The old ways no longer serve us. We must be open to change. Like it or not change is happening. Its intensity will only be increasing as we move forward into this new awareness that is lighting the path now unfolding before us. The litter we are leaving behind must be seen for what it was, and the damage it has done to the human psyche. Control through fear can only exist in darkness. A new light dawns. A new awareness is being felt. The darkness is fading, and a new dawn is spreading its Light across the world. Hope is being replaced by a new inward serge of understanding and an inner awareness that is beyond words. Love.
It all boils down to awareness – awareness – awareness! In my past, searching for a clearer path and knowing, it has been an interesting journey. Opportunities came and went, and like a dog I would sniff the air – put my nose to the ground and follow a particular scent – check it out – piss on the odd tree – and then move on – or not – it all boiled down to Awareness!
I now realise that there is no room for me to distrust or to give my power to fear – only for compassion at how much unawareness there is – part of the sad conditioning of sick civilisations that are in need of undressing. To throw away our soiled clothes – spread our arms out and welcome the breeze of Love that can now begin to caress us in a warm embrace. We have to trust enough to risk undressing – exposing our vulnerability WITH AWARENESS! Until we can do this mistrust will continue to be the influence that will cause us to bow our heads and weep.
We only have to look at Syria or Iran and its pathetic leaders to see the seeds of distrust once again sickening its own people as well as humanity as a whole, into another ocean of despair – and once again we see the “religions” man - and I repeat ‘man’ - has created for control through fear as the precursor – and indeed – the cursor and cause – and once again history repeats itself, and we have learned nothing – OR have we? Those beautiful and special Messengers of the past that have blessed humanity have had their messages of Love so disembowelled to satisfy a lust for power by men that it has divided us from each other – sadly, so very successfully. Satan himself couldn’t have done a better job!
Well, now wait – listen ----
There is a “Cleansing” about to take place the likes of which we have never seen on this Earth before. In the meantime those who are waking up and have garnered a degree of awareness must sit on the sidelines and watch in sadness once again, as in Syria and Iran, but also sadly at times, even within more individual situations, the amputations of the heart cast its shadow of fear over the human family.
Be prepared. The storm IS coming, and when it has unleashed its fury it will pass – then there will be a silence across the lands and oceans the likes of which have never been experienced before. Then – slowly - there will be a slight breeze that will begin to caress us – and like a quiet whisper we will begin to hear its gentle voice – and our awakening to a new dawn – will hopefully have begun. A new Sun will begin to bath us in its fresh and gentle light.
In the meantime we must trust who we are and find peace within ourselves for you are me and I you, and the embrace will go out to enfold us all after the storm. Storms are for cleansing – remember how fresh the air is after one? Remember?

Whilst living outdoors presents certain challenges it becomes clear that the social element of mixing with like minded individuals across the generations, makes up for any discomfort these grandmothers may endure. Luckily in this windy lay by, just outside Menwith Hill, the police are also on hand to check they survive the elements to protest another day.

The Hunt for Assange Is On. Is Sweden a tool of the USA?
August 1, 2012
Swedish authorities have declined Ecuador's invitation to question Julian Assange in its London embassy - without any meaningful explanation, according to Wikileaks' twitter feed. The whistleblower has been holed-up in the Latin American country's diplomatic mission for over six weeks now, seeking asylum. Assange is wanted in Sweden for questioning over sex crime allegations which he denies. He believes proceedings may be just a pretext to hand him over to the US - where he fears prosecution on espionage charges for a massive leak of secret diplomatic and military files. Anti-war activist and journalist Don DeBar says Washington is on an all-out hunt for Assange, and is willing to sidestep international law to get him.

Peter Deunov: How One Man Saved Bulgaria's Jews by Miss Cellania
 |
| "The One who speaks down the centuries is always the Same. At all times it is God who reveals Himself to humanity. The forms through which He manifests are different, but He is One." Peter Deunov |
Peter Deunov: How One Man Saved Bulgaria’s Jews
By Miss Cellania, Neatorama
World War II Bulgaria didn’t have a Schindler, and it didn’t have a list. It had a white-bearded mystic named Peter Deunov and an entire nation standing behind him. Together, they saved Bulgaria’s 48,000 Jews from the Holocaust.
Bulgaria wasn’t in the best position during the Second World War. Fenced in by the Soviet Union on one side and Europe on the other, it was forced into the middle of the action. That’s why it’s all the more impressive that Bulgaria is one of only three mainland European nations where the entire Jewish population survived the Holocaust. (Denmark and Finland were the other two, but their relatively small Jewish populations were geographically isolated.) For staying strong in the face of Hitler and his Nazi directives, the Bulgarians credit one man—Christian mystic Peter Deunov. As Albert Einstein would later say, “The whole world bows down before me. I bow down before the master Peter Deunov.”
Philosophical Fitness
Peter Deunov’s philosophy wouldn’t appear to be anything revolutionary at first. He based his beliefs on those of Christ and preached universal love and religious tolerance—only with a more mystical, cosmic slant. Known as Master Beinsa Douno, he garnered a following in Bulgaria in the early 20th century for his teachings, now known as Esoteric Christianity. In fact, during Deunov’s time serving as the Vatican’s ambassador to Bulgaria, the future Pope John XXIII called him “the greatest philosopher living on the Earth.”
But Deunov had his controversial qualities, too. A strong believer in astrology and phrenology (determining personality traits based on the shape of people’s skulls), Deunov also considered physical fitness to be crucial to spiritual development. He designed health camps for his disciples that included climbing to the 9,600-foot summit of Musala, Bulgaria’s highest peak. In addition, he promoted strict vegetarianism and liberal doses of water.
But perhaps most controversial was his belief in Paneurhythmy (“sublime cosmic rhythm”), sacred dances Deunov invented to utilize “positive energies.” Unnerved by some of his more unusual ideas, the powerful Bulgarian Orthodox Church went so far as to denounce his teachings.
Avoidance Tactics
At the start of World War II, Bulgaria picked the losing side again. Hoping to reclaim the ancestral lands it’d lost during WWI (Thrace and Macedonia), Bulgaria joined the Axis powers in 1941. And although the Nazis did gain control of those territories, Bulgaria reclaimed them in name only. What’s worse, Hitler forced the Bulgarian government to pass oppressive laws against its Jews as part of the deal.
Thanks to a tolerant national population, Bulgaria’s Tsar Boris III was able to avoid enforcing anti-Semitic policies—at least for a while. Eventually, though, the political and military pressure from Hitler became too great. In March 1943, Boris was bullied into signing off on the deportation of 11,343 Jews from Thrace and Macedonia to Auschwitz. Of them, only 12 survived. When the deportation became public knowledge, most Bulgarians were so outraged that Boris went into hiding. Anything he faced would be a lose-lose situation—whether it was the wrath of the Nazis or the wrath of his own people. When Hitler demanded the deportation of all Bulgarian Jews, Boris caved.
Hide and Go Seek
What happened next was one of the most fateful strokes of luck in history. The signed directive from Boris passed through the ranks and into the hands of one of Deunov’s followers, who quickly informed his guru. Eager to stop the deportation, Deunov sent one of his most trusted devotees, a senior official named Lyubomir Loulchev, to try and change Boris’ mind. Deunov knew that Boris respected him (in large part because Deunov had “predicted” the devastating results of WWI), but he also knew the tsar respected Loulchev. Deunov told Loulchev: “Find the tsar and tell him that if he lets Bulgarian Jews be sent to Poland, that will be the end of his dynasty.”
Unfortunately, locating the tsar wasn’t an easy task. Boris was still in hiding, and not even his most trusted advisors knew his whereabouts. Loulchev desperately searched the country, but he was running out of time, so he returned to Deunov for help. According to one biographer, Deunov meditated on Boris’ location in his room for a few minutes, then opened the door and said one word: “Krichim,” the name of an obscure town in southern Bulgaria. Loulchev left for the town immediately and arrived to discover a very surprised tsar.
Not long after, Boris called for the release of all Bulgarian Jews awaiting deportation. It’s uncertain whether the about-face was the result of Loulchev’s appeal to Boris’ conscience, the power of Deunov’s advice, or the pressure he discovered he was receiving from other top Bulgarian officials. Members of the parliament had banded together to try and protect their Jewish population, but with the tsar in hiding, their hands were tied. Deunov’s involvement changed all of that.

Here Is The Beginning Of The Second Annual Inspirational August
August 1, 2012
Hello fellow travellers and readers who have found their way to my blog. Today will be the first blog entry of the Second Annual Inspirational August. I had the idea last year to set a theme for my blog in August and I reckon it's going to be a very inspiration part of your journey if you choose to stop by and feel a bit different from your everyday habitual being.
I may still bring out the mirror to give us a glimse of our everyday irresponsibilty and lack of self-reliance if I come across a news event that will lead us to what we have become and gives us an opportunity to reflect upon and dream of what we could be. In my opinion, a negative should lead one to it's opposite, a positive and from there we will find balance.
Now, sit back and relax and reflect upon whatever you discover during this month that you can take to your heart and make a part of your everyday being.
Enjoy,
M.N. Hopkins
