If thoughts create our world, whose thoughts make predators kill?
You cannot say that the young zebra has brought about its own demise in the jaws of a pride of lions, through its thoughts. Well, I suppose you can say it, but the idea doesn't quite stick! So whose thoughts are causing the violent death and suffering of billions of animals preyed upon by others?
Could it be our thoughts, collectively?
When we truly shift, enough of us, will the predatory system change? Will there be a new way to receive and give energy, not involving one creature devouring another? Could it, in effect, cause an evolutionary leap for all Earth's creatures, not just us humans?
Might we, at some point, indeed have the lion lying down with the lamb - in gentle companionship? Because we think only thoughts of peace? Because we are peace.
Wouldn't that be cool? What do you think?
When we lift that leaden lid – the one we call fear - light, joy and love surge through. We're told this flow of well-being is our natural state. When we feel it, it's worth all the work we can do on ourselves. It's the most awesome feeling on Earth, and it's in each of us, right now, waiting to be released. It's light, it's love, it is peace. Deep inside we have a joy generator. Life, I reckon, is all about discovering how to start it and how to keep it going.

Free Your Mind and Your Ass Will Follow
I would love to look into the eye of a whale. In the wild seas. Unafraid.
What mystery there? What depth of wordless thinking?
Given that they cannot hug or speak, I'm certain they use other ways to connect. I'm certain that they feel connected in spite of their seeming aloneness. Inseparable from each other. Inseparable from the ocean.
We do not know, but we can imagine. It is gross arrogance to assume that other creatures are lesser, that they are biological automatons, without any Knowing.
I would love to gaze, long and open, into the eye of a whale. To see its being. To understand its essence. And to allow that eye to see me. Allow that eye to reflect me back to me, filtered by the whale's dream.
Would I like to look into the eye of an orca? Sea-wolf; huntress? See the bloodlust, the thrill of the kill? Not so much. For I fear to awaken those urges in me.
We have the power to imagine anything. To call up and create anything. We are conjurers, magicians, mini-gods creating.
Let's not be small. Let's be towering in our creative benevolence. Let's put it all right, because we have the capacity to imagine it put right. To imagine it all good.
Where first we imagine, the planners follow, then the builders, then everyone can come to inhabit these new places.
That's how a new world is made.
"...The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers.
Its nature is to respond to your thoughts…"
You gravitate to that which you secretly love most
You meet in life the exact reproduction of your own thoughts
There is no chance, coincidence or accident
In a world ruled by law and divine order
You rise as high as your dominant aspiration
You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self
Free your mind and your ass will follow
The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers
Its nature is to respond to your thoughts
Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind
For seeds grow after their kind
