Subject: Miscellaneous Subjects # 14: Some Feedbacks + 17 August 2000 - WORLD GATHERING + The bears tragedy in China + Much much more
Hello everyone
I have numerous passionate and informative feedbacks - for which I'm very grateful! - to share with all of you as well as news of an important event in August to prepare for and a petition to print and circulate on the horrible fate of moon bears in China.
And most importantly, as Hagit indicates below, I'd like to remind you of the urgent need to focus our love to assist in making possible the peace breakthrough being worked out in Camp David. According to the latest newsmedia report, the negotiations are at a critical juncture and every ounce of goodwill energy will help...
Love is the answer!

P.S. If you have not taken a peek recently at the Crop Circle Connector website to see the latest wonderful designs created by the mysterious crop circle makers, I recommend you do so by visiting http://cropcircleconnector.com/2000/2000.html
You will be amazed I can guarantee it to you!... Interestingly, while visiting it tonight I read a report by 2 people who witnessed at night (around 11:30 pm) a bright yellow ball of light (not a UFO) briefly appearing and disappearing over a field in which an intricate formation was found the next morning. When this mysterious ball (previously observed elsewhere in relation to crop circles found soon after) appeared over the exact location where the formation was later found, it remained there for only a few seconds with the whole observation lasting less than 1 minute. I attach for your immediate review 2 small JPEG pictures of new formations arrived just a few days ago including, for the very first time, a beautiful heart!
The message is clear!

Hi Jean,
It is late and am about to retire for the night but wanted to make two quick comments on your email below:
1. I heard today on the radio that the Brits are very upset about the Patriot as the portrayal is historically quite inaccurate.
2. There is a great deal of evidence that Shark Cartilage properly prepared can and does cure most, if not all tumorous cancers. Dr. William Lane pioneered the work and I understand the FDA were so impressed with earlier results that they have sponsored a number of double blind, cross-over trials that, last I heard, had completed phase three successfully. I can supply you with details including a video or audio of Dr. Lane's address given in Brisbane, Australia in 1997.
Best wishes...

Subject: WorldSlavery & WorldBank Re-visited
Dear Jean,
Amongst letters of friendly sharing and supportive advice, there was one
letter, entitled WorldSlavery & WorldBank.
It is my feeling, that now, we have heard enough virulent, excitable raves
about the evil big brother empire.
If we are to shift that reality we must embrace it's members as family -
at the heart of the matter - those corporate heads, those lawyers and
politicians are good people, (though perhaps misguided) fellow humans who
want a good future for their children, just like we do.
They just lack holonomic vision. At a soul level, they are as much a
prisoner as most of us, though their prison is different.
And they have difficult jobs. Generally people start out with good
intentions - but get sucked into powerful manipulative intelligent energy
fields.
Don't believe that sanctimonious finger pointing at politicians and CEO's
is any more evolved. Observe YOURself. Change YOUR behavior.
The kind of revolution the world needs to turn the tide on a multitude of
impending disasters is of a calibre found is the past only in times of
war. As Light warriors we can change the world - but the battle is within.
Remember the saying(something to the effect of):
Give me a lever a pole long enough and a place to stand and I will move
the world.
Clearly the points from which we get the most leverage are the points
closest to the self.
Shifting a pattern of behaviour short-circuits the line - and helps others
do the same.
We are colonised beings -
each in our own way trying to overcome inner oppressors and cunning
manipulators. Don't project these elements onto the world, they exist
within.
Our life/being is a complex interdependance of systems.
Perhaps the brain craves protein - but the stomach cannot digest meat -
perhaps we'd prefer to ride a bike than drive a car - but pollution is
toxic - perhaps we'd like to recycle, but the recyclers don't come to our
area, perhaps we'd like to eat totally organic, but just can't afford it.
In a modern world, not everyone is ready to move to the country, become
vegetarian, set up compost and grow organic produce. Nor is it possible.
We make sustainable incremental changes each day. Nor is it possible for
the corporate world to do a fundamental turn around until we as a society
change our consumer natures. There are many positive, fundamental changes
occuring in the corporate world.
We must recognise, celebrate and encourage corporate and world leaders to
do what they know in their heart is right. And for our words to have any
value, we must do the same.
Forgive hypocracy.
Blazing Love, Tolerance and Support as best I can,
Brett Elliott

ANTARES' ELOQUENT COMMENT AT THE END OF THIS FORWARD WAS:
My apologies for having to play Doomsdayer and Bringer of More Bad News.
Believe me, I'd much, much rather be the Bringer of Glad Tidings as I have
been in the recent past, but the Big Squeeze is on - and unless enough of
us have these scenarios presented to us for conscious scrutiny NOW,
it may be too late to penetrate the paradigm-doctors' semantic screens once
all the Voices-in-the-Wilderness have been silenced - or are completely
ignored, as is more likely. What is at stake is the integrity of the physical
world over which a life-and-death psychic war is being waged. Unless we can
bring ourselves and the material realm into harmonic resonance with the
mind-boggling frequency shifts occurring across the electromagnetic spectrum,
the 3rd Dimension will be quarantined after 2013. We wouldn't want our
children or grandchildren to live here, believe me!!!
Is there anything specific we CAN do? Yes... STAY AWARE, AWAKE AND UNAFRAID!
(And don't go around parroting paralysing notions like: "What to do? We all
need money to survive!" We are not here to "survive." We are here to flourish
in full freedom and glory - and that has absolutely nothing to do with money.
It has to do with weaning ourselves off the diet of erroneous beliefs we have
been fed since the Year Dot. The 3rd Dimension is NOT all there is to life.
But it's an immensely important part of the evolutionary programme that has
been hijacked by "space pirates" - and NOW is our last chance to reclaim it!

Greetings Jean, and thank you as always for your sterling contribution to
the balance of our world.
I was moved to send this brief note on having read the correspondence between
Peter Quiller and Angharad; it does seem that times can be quite "lonely" in
the UK when it comes to this level of conscious awareness.
Somewhat as a result of this, and my own modest contribution to global
affairs, I have arranged to bring Anna Hayes over to the UK this September to
do a series of workshops. These offer new tools and greatly extended
understanding of a kind I feel we can all derive considerable benefit.
I have not felt that the protocol of your list is one which encourages any of
us to mail each other individually, so haven't notified Angharad of what is
to be availble. If you feel that it would be consistent with your approach
to advise any of the list of Anna's forthcoming visit, I'm sure it would be
greatly appreciated.
If then you wish any more detail, do let me know.
Love and spirit's blessings to you.

Subject: More Perspective on the Sonar Tests & Navy Response
Dear Jean,
This may be worthy of a focus or perhaps just including it in your next
letter of various items. Since we received the good news of the discovery,
many newspapers all over the country have been using the Associated Press
Navy PR release minimizing the test results and focusing back on trivia. It
causes people to relax over the news as well as focus on the trivia... a
dangerous combination for such a dangerous program.
With aloha, Bobbie

--------------------
KEEP THE WHALES SINGING, THE HUMAN HEART OPEN, AND OUR OCEANS AND WORLD SAFE
A link has been established between the recent Bahama whale strandings and
the U.S. sonar tests conducted in the area, since autopsies reveal tissue and
cavity explosion involving the whales' ears and other organs. These are the
very symptoms the Marine Mammal Commission predicted would take place in the
larger whales if sonar was deployed in the oceans as planned. It is anybody's
guess what level of annihilation is taking place in the smaller fish and
other marine life.
Now, the Navy is waging a PR campaign, implying that the major concern is
whether or not whales stopped singing during the Hawaii tests two years ago,
while ignoring the distress and deaths that occurred during those tests as
well as the harsh reality that the Bahama whales stopped singing permanently.
In my earlier article, "The Beached Canaries," I asked if the whales were
perhaps swimming to our world's shores to die by the hundreds before us in
order to let us know that something is deeply amiss beneath the sea and in
the human heart.
As if in answer to my question, the Bahama whales beached in front of the
home of a caring and competent marine biologist, who made sure they were
tested before decomposing. Previously getting these tests performed has been
a major challenge, due to persistent government delays and inconclusive
results.
Now, we now have a smoking gun, and it is time to unite and respond. This is
a lethal technology that threatens all marine life and possibly the ocean
itself if plans for deployment in 80% of the world's oceans slip by a
sleeping public.
To reverse this course, make it a priority to contact your congressional
representatives; focus and pray over the safety of all marine life and their
ocean home; and pray for the awakening and evolution of human consciousness,
caring, and wisdom.

Date: Sun, 9 Jul 2000
Dear Jean, you are truly amazing in offering and sharing endless essential
information about "things that matter", as Frederick Franck would say. Thank
you for standing for all of us in the storm, human made, of human
insensitivity, violence and greed, and rampant human use of humans. Together
we shall shine the other side of the coin - courage, compassion, humility,
ability to wonder, trust and, yes, love - all that make us approach to the
true meaning of being human.
Words have to be supplemented by action. To invite the Covenant of Human
Consciousness (to give a name to the invisible but powerful stand of all of
us) as an antibarbaric stance in our contemporary society we compiled a
book of "What Does It Mean to Be Human. Reverence for Life Reaffirmed by
Responses from Around the World" (compiled by Frederick Franck, Janis Roze
and Richard Connolly). The first edition was sold out in six months. The
second edition is to appear by St.Martin's Press. It contains statements of
about 100 individuals from around the world, including famous and
not-so-famous people, speaking "from the heart' and offering short personal
insights and statements as to the meaning of being human. Contributors
include The Dalai Lama, Oscar Arias, Cornel West, Mother Theresa, Elie
Wiesel, Vaclav Havel, Wilma Mankiller, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mary Evelyn
Tucker, and many more. The second contribution to the "antibarbaric stance"
is a video "Be Human. Creative Evolution and the Individual", narrated by me
(I am a professor of biology at the City University of New York) in English
and Spanish, to be distributed within a month or two. It deals with the
importance of the individual as a carrier and co-creator of human evolution,
with the opportunity and responsibility to becoming fully human. It speaks
to the human dignity and authenticity.
More things are planned to affirm the "mobilization of the human". With
admiration of your stand,
Janis Roze

What are YOUR visions, dreams and hopes

IT IS TIME FOR EACH OF US TO SPEAK UP, TO ACT AND TO
CREATE THE WORLD WE ALL HOPE FOR - NOW IS THE TIME
Suggestions on how to celebrate 17 AUGUST, each year, follow later
oooooooooooo
THE IMPORTANCE OF AUGUST 17
On AUGUST 16/17 1987, the Mayan scholar, Jose Arguelles, called for a
global link-up. About 2 million people met at power spots and places of
natural beauty around the planet.
Jose picked a date straight out of the Native American 'Rainbow Dream
Vision': AUGUST 17.
For AUGUST 17, 2000, the RAINBOW DREAM VISION - also known
as 'The 20 Count' (the 20 years of 1993 to 2013) - states:
"ON 17 AUGUST 2000, THE VARIOUS WINGED SERPENT WHEELS
[ie individuals and groups working positively for the Earth and Humanity]
WILL BEGIN TO TURN, TO DANCE ONCE AGAIN AND WHEN THEY
DO THE RAINBOW LIGHTS WILL BE SEEN IN DREAMS ALL OVER
THE WORLD AND THESE RAINBOW LIGHT DREAMS WILL HELP
AWAKEN THE REST OF HUMANITY"
RAINBOW DREAM VISION - [Vision of Hope 1993-2013]
Y E A R 2 0 0 0:
"144,000 SUN DANCE ENLIGHTENED TEACHERS WILL TOTALLY
AWAKEN IN THEIR DREAM MINDBODIES. THEY WILL BEGIN TO
MEET IN THEIR OWN FEATHERED SERPENT OR WINGED SERPENT
WHEELS AND BECOME A MAJOR FORCE OF THE LIGHT TO HELP
THE REST OF HUMANITY TO DANCE THEIR DREAM AWAKE.
A SUN DANCER IS ANY HUMAN BEING WHO HAS AWAKENED,
WHO HAS BALANCED THEIR SHIELDS AND WHO HAS GAINED
THE DREAM MINDBODY. THIS IS A SACRED DANCE. THAT IS
WHAT 2000 IS ALL ABOUT. IN 2000, 144,000 AWAKENED SOULS
WILL SIT DOWN IN GATHERING TOGETHER CIRCLES. MANY OF
THESE WILL BE THE SO-CALLED 'COMMON PEOPLE' AND NOT
THE TEACHERS YOU SEE UP THERE NOW.
ON 17 AUGUST 2000, THE VARIOUS WINGED SERPENT WHEELS
WILL BEGIN TO TURN, TO DANCE ONCE AGAIN AND WHEN THEY
DO THE RAINBOW LIGHTS WILL BE SEEN IN DREAMS ALL OVER
THE WORLD AND THESE RAINBOW LIGHT DREAMS WILL HELP
AWAKEN THE REST OF HUMANITY"
(Some people have already seen the 'Rainbow Lights' in their dreams.
Quite simply, you see something like a bright, rainbow spectrum of lights.)
See: http://www.world-action.com
The RAINBOW DREAM VISION, of North America, is saying the same
thing as the positive parts of the BOOK of REVELATIONS from The Bible:
"THEY SANG A NEW SONG FROM EVERY TRIBE AND LANGUAGE
AND PEOPLE AND NATION..... I HEARD THE NUMBER OF THOSE
WHO WERE SEALED, 144,000 FROM ALL THE TRIBES.... AFTER THIS
I LOOKED AND THERE BEFORE ME WAS A GREAT MULTITUDE THAT
NO-ONE COULD COUNT FROM EVERY NATION, TRIBE, PEOPLE
AND LANGUAGE.
NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY HUNGER, NEVER AGAIN WILL THEY THIRST.
THE SUN WILL NOT BEAT UPON THEM, NOR ANY SCORCHING HEAT.
I SAW ANOTHER MIGHTY ANGEL COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT
OF HEAVEN. HE WAS ROBED IN A CLOUD, WITH A RAINBOW ABOVE
HIS HEAD AND HIS FACE WAS LIKE THE SUN..... A GREAT AND
WONDROUS SIGN APPEARED IN HEAVEN: A WOMAN CLOTHED
WITH THE SUN, WITH THE MOON UNDER HER FEET AND A CROWN
OF TWELVE STARS ON HER HEAD.
I SAW AN ANGEL STANDING IN THE SUN,
WHO CRIED IN A LOUD VOICE,
"C O M E, G A T H E R T O G E T H E R"
I SAW A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH.
I SAW THE HOLY CITY, THE NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN
OUT OF HEAVEN FROM GOD, PREPARED AS A BRIDE BEAUTIFULLY
DRESSED FOR HER HUSBAND.
THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH OR MOURNING OR CRYING
OR PAIN, FOR THE OLD ORDER OF THINGS HAS PASSED AWAY.
THE SPIRIT AND THE BRIDE SAY, "COME!"
AND LET SHE WHO HEARS SAY, "COME!"
WHOEVER IS THIRSTY, LET HER COME, AND WHOEVER WISHES
LET HER TAKE THE FREE GIFT OF THE WATERS OF LIFE."

SUGGESTIONS FOR 17 AUGUST - EVERY YEAR
T H E W O R L D G A T H E R I N G
GATHER at Sacred Sites and places
of natural beauty every year on 17 AUGUST
MAKE CONTACT with other people
who are concerned for the Earth & Humanity
MAKE PLANS - NETWORK
CELEBRATE - DEDICATE YOURSELF
T O G E T H E R - WE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Soon, this global link-up may grow
to be many, many millions of people
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS FOR THE AUGUST 17 GLOBAL LINK UP
In years when the 17th of August is a weekday, if you prefer, use the
nearest Saturday or Sunday to celebrate your connection to the World
Gathering. And/or, if you are working on 17 AUGUST, join with others
in the evening, or when you can during the day, or just link in your
mind when you remember.. THE WORLD GATHERING.
If you can, on AUGUST 17, or the nearest Saturday or Sunday,
organise friends and contacts to do something different. Go to
an ancient Sacred Site or a place of natural beauty and enjoy being
in the fresh air, enjoying your connection with the Earth, and link with
many others, of all nations and peoples, around the world.
If you stay the night there (night of 16th or 17th, or both. YOU
may see the RAINBOW LIGHTS in your sleep. Many people have
experienced this already simply, you see a variation on a spectrum
of bright rainbow colours.
Ask around when you all wake up to see what you experienced in your sleep.
Maybe: a revelatory dream, a message, a vivid dream, or….. The Rainbow
Lights.
'THE GATHERING' IS PROMOTED WORLDWIDE BY WORLD ACTION.
WORLD ACTION has been developed to support the positive vision of the
Native Americans. This positive vision for all of humanity is known as the
RAINBOW DREAM VISION.
The Book Of Revelations and the Rainbow
Dream Vision both say the same thing. First a small group of committed
people will COME TOGETHER around the world. Soon they will be joined
by 'A LARGE MULTITUDE' (The Bible) and the world will change.
THAT TIME IS NOW - IT IS TIME TO CHANGE THE WORLD
IT'S TIME FOR THE GATHERING
FOR WORDS OF INSPIRATION, PAST & PRESENT,
ON THE THEME OF PLANETARY SOCIAL, ECOLOGICAL
AND SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION
Look at: http://www.world-action.com

EVERY MEETING YOU ATTEND TO EXPRESS YOUR FUNDAMENTAL

DAY AND NIGHT ABOUT IT AND YOU WILL SEE A MIRACLE HAPPEN…

The bears tragedy in China
Farms of imprisoning of bears for bile extraction for profit are still kept in China
The Bears live in these cages all their lives...feeling horrible pain, wasting away until death, because of a catheter introduced in their gall bladder to extract bile, used just to make shampoo, aphrodisiacs and "miraculous" medicines.
Do you think any creature in this planet deserves this?
DON'T ONLY CRY, DO SOMETHING!
BEARS CRY OUT FOR HUMANITY IN CHINA
It's amazing that in the 20th century, when man has already gone to the Moon and computers are globalizing knowledge, still there are in China thousands of bears emprisoned in order to have their bile extracted that, according to a long tradition of the chinese medicine, claiming to cure many illnesses such as headache, kidney stones, cirrhosis, hangover and lately used to make shampoo and aphrodisiacs. There is very limited proof scientifically that any of this really works.
In the past, only the Emperor and his court used this substance. Nowadays, thousands of Asians have access to the product. Its demand increased so much, that China is bringing bears in from many others countries to provide this market. From the 8 different species that they buy, 6 of them are endangered species.
In expanding their business, in 1995 they created hundreds of farms of bears, where over 10000 are kept emprisioned, layed down horizontally on their urine and feces which burns their skin. The cage is so small that they cannot move themselves, not even to scratch.
With their paw they pull the food through a small opening in the cage. When they're thirsty, these poor animals have to streach their tongue to reach some licks of water on the bars of the cage. They feel horrible pain and spend about 15 years in the same position deforming their bones. It means 15 years or 180 months or 5475 days or 131,400 hours or 78,844,000 minutes of continuous pain.
During the bile extraction, they put a tube entering the gall bladder and exiting out of the bears belly where a special mechanism sucks out the bile.The pain of these animals overtake all limits. They roar , they mutilate or kill themselves. The bears are drugged and then strapped with metal waistbands then are put into a cage with bars under pressure. A medicine made in this way is POISON!! It reminds us of FRANKENSTEIN!
To preserve the cultural reputation of chinese medicine , the authorities are considering closing the more recent farms when they can declare an herb which can substitute for the bile. In this crucial moment of political changes that happened in China, what is going to happen with the promises made with the government about the bears freedom ? What will be the destiny of these animals?
But the recent changes in Hong Kong ownership in July of 1997, portend a possible stronger reaction against countries who interfere in China's political decisions or conservation of China. The IFAW, an english organization whose president is Prince Charles , has supported the idea of the closure of the bear farms belonging to the Chinese government.
International appeals did get the chinese government to close 2 of their farms in1993 Zhuhai and 1995 Huizhou.
We from Fauna Free are fighting together with national and international organizations such as the IFAW - INTERNATIONAL FUND FOR ANIMAL WELFARE, http://www.ifaw.org , in order to mobilize human beings who cannot sleep knowing that thousand of bears are suffering such an atrocity in every minute of their lives.All of us need to pass this information to as many societies and institutions we can. We need a global movement against these atrocities.
How long do we have to wait knowing that these bears are continue to suffer ?
The Bears can't wait anymore! We have to get international help to maintain pressure on the Chinese government !
You who are sad with the reality of the bears of China who want to help but don't know how , contact us. Get as many signatures for the end of the bear farms as you can. We don't want any money, we just need ACTION! If you want to help with money , you can. We have films and pictures which are available to the media and all people who are interested in our cause.
Best Regards

We call on everyone who is moral and ethical to mobilize people and convince the Chinese authorities to stop at all this cruelty. Spread these informations to your friend, relatives, media, etc. Embrace this campaign for the bears who are suffering the whole 15 years of their lives.

We ask for compassion from the Chinese people !!
Today in China, a government-owned business keeps 10,000 bears imprisoned in cages in order to extract their gall bladder's bile. These animals are horizontally put in cages which seem like coffins, so small they are made. They introduce a catheter inside of these animals which sucks the fluid from the gall bladder. The bears cannot even move inside of the cages and spite of their horrible suffering, live for 15 to 20 years in this condition !!
We, the undersigned, cannot accept this cruelty, this torture, this barbarism inflicted to these animals, anymore!!!

Animals in Crisis & Distress
Campaign update: Saving moon bears from lives of torture
The issue
Right now, more than 7,300 endangered Asiatic black bears (Ursus Selenarctos Thibetanus) are imprisoned on "bear farms" in China. These animals suffer terribly from crude catheters, which are implanted in their stomachs to drain the bile from their gall bladders. The bile is sold for Traditional Medicine (TM). IFAW is working with the Chinese Government, the Chinese Association of Medicine and Philosophy, Animals Asia Foundation (AAF), and the group EarthCare to eventually eliminate bear farming, provide humane treatment for bears currently imprisoned on "farms," and to promote herbal alternatives to bear bile in TM.
Key facts
7,632 bears still suffer on 481 bile farms across China.
Bear farming began in China and South Korea in the early 1980s to supply bile for heart and liver-related illnesses, high fever, and burns.
Today, inexpensive herbal and/or synthetic alternatives are readily available for bear bile.
There are at least 54 herbal alternatives to bear bile in various medicinal applications.
Contrary to popular belief in Asia, farming bears does not protect wild populations. Bears are also being hunted for their parts in all their range countries.

There are around 1728 different religions on earth, over 72 names for God,
over one billion Catholics, one billion Muslims. The energetics around these
different belief systems create a very powerful and chaotic collective
consciousness. In our history, how many people have suffered or died in the
name of God or for their religious beliefs? All of these religions think that
they are the "right" way. Any single one of them is in the minority. There
can only be one truth. Perhaps it is time to start to look for what unites us
- the common threads in all these different faiths; the primary one being
faith itself!
In a world of growing apathy and evil, the only division should be between
those of morals and faith, and those of none.
Mutual respect - live and let live - so be it.

Letting go
"Life has no other discipline to impose, if we would but realize it, than
to accept life unquestioningly. Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we
run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us
in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty,
joy and strength, if faced with an open mind. Every moment is a golden one
for him who has the vision to recognize it as such."
- Henry Miller
