On Common Ground

  4 Hours.  24 films. A new way to see the World.

The Pangea Day Mission & Purpose

Pangea Day is a global event bringing the world together through film.  Why?  In a world where people are often divided by borders, difference, and conflict, it’s easy to lose sight of what we all have in common. Pangea Day seeks to overcome that – to help people see themselves in others – through the power of film.

The Pangea Day Event

Starting at 18:00 GMT on May 10, 2008, locations in Cairo, Kigali, London, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and Rio de Janeiro will be linked for a live program of powerful films, live music, and visionary speakers. The entire program will be broadcast – in seven languages – to millions of people worldwide through the internet, television, and mobile phones. Continue Reading »

Dear Conscious Creators,

It is only through expanding our consciousness that we will ever come close to understanding what awakening is all about. Awakening will only be experienced by those who are fully aware of role of the mind and have mastered understanding the role of the ego.

• This, too, shall pass
• Is that so?

“Non-resistance, non-judgment, and non-attachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living.” -Eckhart Tolle

This non-judgment and non-attachment can only happen when we let go of the “object consciousness” which is the world of form. This includes material things, as well as identities and roles we play. When we are aware of the object consciousness, we begin to move into the space consciousness, where we can learn to connect with nothingness. This is our inner space. Continue Reading »

1. Your will receive a body.  You may like it, or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period this time around.
2. You will learn lessons.  You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life.  Each day in this school you have the opportunity to learn lessons.  You may like the lessons or think they are irrelevant and stupid.
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.  Growth is a process of trial and error and experimentation.  The failed experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately works.
4. A lesson is repeated until learned.  A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it.  When you have learned it, you can go to the next lesson.  (Application to Proceed… approved. =)~  Periodically, the lesson will be re-presented to see if you still remember it.
5. Learning lessons does not end.  There is no part of life that does not contain some lesson.  If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.  If no lessons are being presented, it is likely that you are no longer alive.

I think I am beginning to feel my age.  I don’t know if it’s because of this “mood” I’m in this week.  I’ve been thinking A LOT this week.  And anyone who knows me knows that that ain’t always a good thing.

When I think A LOT, I tend to think in terms of reflection on my life. Past… Present… and Future.  Now, I know it’s not all that unusual for people to reflect on where they’ve been and where they (think) are going.  It’s the natural state of most human beings to assess their progress, or lack thereof, whichever the case may be. 

For me it usually signals that a major turn of events is about to happen in whatever it is I am doing.  My ex-partner used to accuse me, and still does from time to time, of being too easily bored with life and things.  It’s generally true too.  Once I’ve accomplished, figured out, or achieved a certain level of accomplishment in what ever task it is I’m currently involved in, I’m pretty much ready to move on.

Promise Yourself…

• to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
• To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
• To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
• To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
• To think only of the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.
• To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
• To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
• To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
• To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
• To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear; and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
• To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds.
• To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Ask, Believe, Receive - just three simple steps to create what you want. However, very often the second step, believe, can be the most difficult one. And yet it is the greatest step you will ever take. When you master believing, you have mastered your life.

To master believing, all you have to do is tip the balance of your thoughts, words, and actions, from ‘not believing’ to believing. The ONLY thing that can ever get in the way of manifesting what you want, is having more thoughts of ‘not believing’, speaking more words of ‘not believing’, and taking more actions of ‘not believing’, than you are of believing. Base the majority of your thoughts, words, and actions in believing, and the law of attraction must obey you.

Believing contains no doubt. Believing does not waiver. Believing is absolute faith. Believing remains steadfast despite what is happening in the outside world.

Here is a story of believing that will speak to you and inspire you……… to believe.
