Oil spill in Gelf of Mexico, barriers, cancer and the mind.
It is difficult to not imagine the onrushing tons of oil pouring into the Gulf of Mexico even while I write and not be appalled at the consequences for all of earth. It is hardly bearable to watch the birds. Apart from BP, there are of course the millions who use oil in their cars everyday. Years ago, I used to stand on a hill and view the tiny vehicles moving at great linear speed wondering where they were going and why. Each driver boxed in a metal machine, cut off from nature, deaf and blind to all that he is part of. People live in „gated“ communities or barriers for protection but the cutting off is much much more. Transport using oil has, more than anything else created a barrier between man and earth. Cancer cells likewise become deaf and blind to signalling that regulates growth which in the embryo is necessary but in adult cells unregulated leads to uncontrolled proliferation. That is about it. The cancer cell loses the ability to communicate-like the drivers of cars with nature. There is one further aspect and it is the mind.
The mind creates all of this. This is especially true for the disease we know as cancer. I listened to a puja broadcast recently where a healer was interviewed about disease as possession and attachment of the mind. You have to believe in cancer to „have“ it, even if in most cases this is unconscious. If a person abandons the mind concept of disease and aligns himself with the conscious divine energy within, which only knows balance and health he or she is able to heal. This is the experience of this healer. So really when we use a mind concept in the fashion phrase „gated community“, we have to consider the mind itself is the prime gate or barrier. Uncontrolled proliferation of oil, isnt it?

This is not about “gated” communities, but an interesting event told to me by a friend who lives in a house built to the standards of traditional Vedic Architecture (Sthapatya Veda) in accord with natural law. There home is built in an open community east of San Diego. Southern California is known for seasonal wild fires. This happened a few years ago, the fire was coming fast, consuming everything in it’s path, and when it got to the perimeter of their house (marked by a small), insubstantial, wooden fence). At that point, the fire took a sharp turn around their home, leaving it untouched, while other houses in their community were burned to the ground. This sort of phenomena would be interesting to study.

As a student of architecture, it always amazes me how un inspiring our build invironment has become. We have no shortage of technology to make creating curves in the design, yet we continue to build boxes to live in.

I would like to see an” intential community” that had in its mandate to provide artists and sculptors an opportunity to express themselves.

Urgent:
- re The healing of cancer.
— “Intention of the Week” — Vivien Russell —
Cancer can often be caused by spiritual frustration.
It must be addressed on three fronts : —
1 The happiness/disappointments in the life of the sufferer.
2 The opportunities for / frustrations of their spirit’s purpose, with appreciation for karma.
3 The intention of the ‘healer’.

Without due consideration of the first two points, above, the healing will be tempory!

Here’s one more perspective to add to all of those above… walls in the physical world do indeed arise from the walls we create in consciousness with our beliefs. Humanity’s evolution towards an Enlightened Planetary Civilization® comes largely as a result of integrating the beliefs that separate us as individuals. I suspect one could look at the history of civilizations and find a correspondence between growth as “walls” are deconstructed, and decay as they are built.

Martha Graham, a wonderful dancer, said,”This was the first wall,”and crossed her arms in front of her body.

Great Post!… imho gated communities are the extension of what countries do. Borders, immigration officers, all do the same thing, trying to “keep out” those we look as “different” or “not worthy”. Countires built up walls: China, Germany, Israel, even the US in the Mexican border.
The false sense of security this walls give, always worked well for those in power.
As someone mentioned, a community is something you have to work for. Rising walls is just the answer for lazy people!

All my life I have lived in houses that we never locked. Back door is always open so dog can run in and out all day. Never been robbed in busy town or in remote bush. In Africa we lived through the Mau Mau ( Kenya) and all our neighbours were attacked because they kept guns locked inside. We had no guns and open doors and never were attacked. Never locked my car except twice in 30 years – once at my mother’s insistence, and BOTH times I had the car broken into – otherwise never… Gated communities send out a hostile vibe that will invite rresponse in kind… Love the Intention Experiment Book Lynne, splendid work.

I believe by a beautiful grace , some walls are built for a devotion of a reverance to a higher place. Having those walls of giving one on one attention to what made nations and countries, the forest and mountains, is of the most beautiful that is. Thankfulness for your thoughtfulness.
