The One People: Quantum Realities & the Mandela Effect gets Personal

This weeks One People Show continued the conversation from last week.  We delved into many reports from friends experiencing the "Mandela Effect" on a very personal level, including my own  Whamo that happened when I arrived in Malta!   As usual, the conversation veered down several avenues, including  time loops, "history" and reviewing a few "older" experiences in a new light.

Brian Kelly's Story: A Journey to Discovering Purpose -- Part II




My Story -- A Journey to Discovering Purpose -- Part II
December 18, 2014

This post is not just about a business idea, it's about "Inspiring a Revolution of Change".... ~BK

In Part I, I told my personal journey of self discovery, which can be read here. On my mission to find purpose, here's a quick recap from the last article of the major lessons I learned along the way:
  1. BE HAPPY
  2. PROVIDE VALUE
  3. BE OF SERVICE
  4. HAVE FUN
  5. GIVE, GIVE, GIVE & then GIVE some MORE
  6. WE ARE ALL PART OF ONE HUMAN FAMILY
  7. NEVER WORK A JOB JUST FOR THE PAYCHECK
  8. NO MATTER WHAT, FOLLOW YOUR HEART
  9. MONEY IS JUST A TOOL, TREAT IT AS SUCH

Part II is all about finding passion through inspiration and taking action. In this blog post I continue to share all of the most profound realizations I have had along my journey to finding purpose. These concepts and formulas can be used and adopted by ANYONE aspiring to make their dream a reality. This is my Story...

Moral of the Story #10: ACTION IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS

"when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking & GO." 





If you have an hour to spare, I go into a lot of detail in my interview with Hope Girl on the current project I'm working on now, how it came to be, what the objective is and how it all plays into my personal vision for the future. A few of the videos I share below are also very beautifully dubbed into this interview. For the sake of redundancy I label which ones those are:



As mentioned in the video with Hope, determining our "why" for this business concept was and continues to be our focus to this day. Answering this question has not only encouraged the biggest breakthrough, for this project specifically. It has also helped me to understand personally, what was missing from past business start-ups I was involved in, and quite possibly what made some of them fall short of reaching the level of success we had intended.


Based on my personal experience in business, I would imagine, when posed with the question, of 'why' most entrepreneurs are in business, these would likely be the most common responses:
"To make money."
"To provide for my family."
"Because I love it."
"Because I enjoy the freedom of working for myself."
"Because I make a great income that allows me to do the things in life I enjoy"
"To make people's lives easier/better by..."
Through everything I learned throughout part I of this story, the above reasons were no longer good enough standing on their own. There had to be a greater purpose than just money, security, stability or even attaining total happiness. The realization here is that securing happiness for just myself is no longer good enough. Although, it is the very crucial first step to sharing happiness with others.


Being an entrepreneur is about improving people's lives by offering a product that solves a problem, simplifies a process, or by offering a service that gives people more quality time to enjoy family, etc. And of course, loving what you do, having freedom and providing for family are all part of what make up the thrill of becoming an entrepreneur.

BUT, if business was designed to make people's lives better/easier or solve a problem, commerce as a whole seems to have missed the mark in a very major way. See for yourself:
  • Almost half the world -- over three billion people -- live on less than $2.50/day
  • At least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10/day
  • 22,000 children die each day due to poverty. And they "die quietly in some of the poorest villages on Earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the conscience of the world"
  • Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names
  • Less than 1% of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn't happen
  • Every year there are 350 - 500 million cases of malaria (a curable disease), with 1 million fatalities
  • Water problems affect half of humanity: some 1.1 billion people in developing countries have inadequate access to water & 2.6 billion lack basic sanitation
  • 1.8 billion people who have access to a water source within 1 kilometer, but not in their house or yard, consume around 20 liters of water/day. In the UK, the avg person uses more than 50 liters/day flushing toilets. The highest avg water use in the world is in the US, at 600 liters/day
  • 1.6 billion people -- a quarter of humanity -- live without electricity
  • For every $1 in aid a developing country receives, over $25 is spent on debt repayment
  • In 1820 the distance between the richest and poorest countries was 3 to 1,in 1992 it was 72 to 1
The stats above barely scratch the surface of the issues facing humanity today. More found here at this link.

Are your eyes opened yet? What do you see in this picture?


$11 billion on ice cream in Europe!? Can you imagine how much opportunity around the world could be created with $11 billion, let alone $780 billion on military spending. I had to wipe my eyes and do a double take when I saw that one.

Here's our main tenet at 9 Gifts of Gaia: All human beings are born with unlimited potential, unlimited capacity and unlimited creativity. No exceptions.


Every year we see multiple global summits that give the illusion that key issues are being addressed and steps have been put in place to solve them. This illusion of change has taken the power out of our hands, and into those who don’t seem to care or do anything about it.

Nobody is going to change the world for us, and if we continue living our lives and being so into our own lives while ignoring what is happening to planet Earth, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that the outcome won’t be sunshine and roses. 

If we've learned one thing it's that the solutions to the world's problems will NOT come from any so-called government or political leaders. They will come from people. People just like YOU. People just like me and millions of other creative minds from all around the world. This is why I believe deep down everyone is an entrepreneur. Everyone is a creator.

Moral of the Story #11: WHEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO SOLVE A PROBLEM, PEOPLE ARE SO INCREDIBLY CREATIVE



I have seen it for myself so many times in my life. As a businessman and as a person in general. Look around you, there's creative people and projects just about everywhere you look. Just imagine what happens when our creative juices are focused on a collective intent for a peaceful, sustainable, poverty free world...

"Why hide your talent in the closet of complacency, when you have greatness within you." 

Moral of the Story #12: KNOW YOUR "WHY" 

"What's your why? When you know why you do what you do even the toughest days become easier." 




The why doesn't start and finish just with business. It can apply to literally everything we do in life. "What's my why?" is just about the best filter we can use to determine the value of whether or not to DO one thing or the other, no matter what IT is. And like the quote above says, when our why is big enough, we will always find our how.

Many of the videos and info that follow are all a result of researching "daring to be different in business." I had no interest in going back into business the old way it was done. My search for purpose was quite literally a combination of going within to see what resonates, as well as digging on the internet :)

Moral of the Story #13: SOMETIMES INSPIRATION NEEDS TO BE SEARCHED FOR

"Don't waste time waiting for inspiration. Begin and inspiration will find you." 

Here are a few videos, also dubbed into the interview with Hope, that provided much needed guidance and inspiration on my own personal Journey to Why. Hard not to tear up watching this one in particular.




I gotta hand it to Sevenly for what they have accomplished. Dale Partridge and his undeniable success as CEO of Sevenly has been a HUGE inspiration for me and my partners. To raise over $4,000,000 in $7 increments, while helping over 1.3 million people in the process is not only inspiring, it's a miracle. 

What does this prove? One person with a great idea can make a HUGE impact...

You better believe Dale & Sevenly know exactly what their Why is. 

"There's nothing more powerful than a great idea, whose time has come"

Here is the email I sent to Dale to thank him for the inspiration:
Dale,

I'll keep this brief because I know you are a very busy guy. I too am an entrepreneur and interestingly enough, used to own and operate a business in Costa Mesa. Now in the process of launching a new business, I found Sevenly in doing research on "daring to be different in business." I felt strongly the entire way we do business was in need of a major over haul. When I found Sevenly and watched your "how it works" video I was blown away. Tears of inspiration flowed down my face...not afraid to admit it :)
 
What you have created is nothing short of amazing. I know part of your mission was to inspire other businesses to be less profit and more people focused. Consider me a success story. 9 Gifts of Gaia will launch soon, donating $9 from every purchase toward helping to alleviate poverty, followed by what will be a series of other causes and paradigm shifting projects. So, I just wanted to say THANK YOU. You are a bright shining beacon of light this world needs right now. Keep up the good work my friend. Blessings & Namaste.
His response:
Wow thank you man, that means a lot. :) 
Keep fighting the good fight,
Dale 
Moral of the Story #14: IF SOMEONE ELSE HAS AN IDEA THAT YOU CONNECT WITH & ITS WORKING: MIRROR IT

Actual advice shared with me by one of my mentors.

There is absolutely no shame in copying someone's idea and adding a few twists to make it your own. These are the basic components and building blocks of innovation. Most commonly, new innovations are a product of taking an existing idea and improving upon it to make it better, more efficient, etc.


Sevenly is an incredible business concept. Leveraging business to support a cause is not a new phenomenon. All they have done, is taken a for-profit business model and placed the cause, as opposed to the product up front and center. That was their twist, and ultimately the main ingredient that resulted in such incredible success.

"You are confined only by the walls you build yourself." 

When diving deeper, one of the only major issues I could find with the Sevenly business model was their charity focused approach. Instantly I had major recall of all the horror stories I've discovered about so many of the major charities.

Some of these stats are mentioned in the video with Hope, so no need to repeat again here. Although, if interested in exploring the deep levels of deception here is a great article.

Below is an excerpt from another article I found which helps to illustrate the fundamental issue between targeting symptoms as opposed to focusing on the actual cause:

(this is a really great article) http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/charity/against_1.shtml
Charities often target symptoms, not causes 
The accusation is that charity helps the recipient with their problem, but it doesn't do much to deal with the causes of that problem. 
Particular aspects of this are dealt with in the next two topics. 
It certainly is true that some charities do stopgap or 'band-aid' work, either exclusively or some of the time. 
But in fact, a lot of charity work is devoted to dealing with the fundamental causes of problems: for example trying to reduce global poverty, or doing research into diseases like cancer. 
These two examples highlight very different problems. 
Combating cancer is a relatively simple scientific problem, while global poverty requires more than a scientific operation, or finding a better way to manage world resources. 
Combating poverty involves slow processes of political, cultural and social change, with many stakeholders, significant opposition and serious issues of self-determination and coercion to be navigated. 
And long-term campaigns pose another ethical problem: should we spend to make a better world in 10 years' time if that means that people who we could have fed starve to death tomorrow? 
The famous story of the boy and the starfish shows why using charity to fix individual problems can be very valuable.

If I can just help one person, all of a sudden my life is filled with purpose...

"It is not how much you do, but how much love you put into the doing that matters." 

If so many non-profits and charitable organizations lack transparency, and only target symptoms, not causes, then how can we circumvent the charity and get directly to the individual? 

The answer? (at least one of many. Vid also in presentation)


Truth be told, this whole concept of microfinance didn't sit right when I first discovered it. As an ex-finance guy, I walked away from the business with a very sour taste in my mouth. I felt that all loans were a scam and enslaved honest and hard working people to fictitious, userous debt. I didn't lie to my clients about the types of loans they were receiving, like many in the business did, but at the end of the day it was companies just like mine that played a major role in the housing collapse of 2008. As a result, I put the word "loan" in the same category of all the other 4 letter words that shouldn't be spoken.

Challenging to grasp, especially knowing what I know now, after years of research into how debt, money and credit really work. So, I needed to dive into it a bit to fully understand the mechanics.

The figures and videos shared below helped me to see the light...very quickly.




These statistics are mind blowing. Why more people don't know about this? A basic lack of awareness. Well, it's time for that to change...

Synchronistically, I found this Ted Talk with Dr. Muhammad Yunus who won the Nobel Prize in 2006 for creating microcredit. Microcredit loans to date have pulled close to 100 million people out of poverty by focusing on the cause, not the symptom. These next two videos tell the story of how it all began. Worth watching if you have the time. Or bookmark and come back later. 


After watching this video, I purchased Dr. Yunus' book, Banker to the Poor, on Kindle and read through it in just a few days.

Jessica Jackley, co-founded Kiva after watching Dr. Yunus' video above. More proof one person with an inspired idea can change the world.


"The proper aim of giving is to put the recipient in a place where he/she no longer needs our gift." 

These videos led me to some very profound realizations. For the first time in my life, I started to really understand that quote, "you're either part of the problem, OR part of the solution." The fire was lit. My commitment to becoming a part of the solution has never been filled with such extreme levels of passion and determination. Every fiber of my being is telling me, it's time to take a stand.

Moral of the Story #15: GENEROSITY IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL FORCES IN ALL OF CREATION

"Generosity isn't just about what you do. It’s about who you are. Before it’s a matter of giving or of doing, it’s a matter of being."

Here are a few quotes from Dr. Yunus' book that opened my eyes to not only the reality of poverty, but also the gross misunderstanding around it, as well as our absolute ability to render it a part of our past:
“Once poverty is gone, we'll need to build museums to display its horrors to future generations. They'll wonder why poverty continued so long in human society - how a few people could live in luxury while billions dwelt in misery, deprivation and despair.”  
“When we want to help the poor, we usually offer them charity. Most often we use charity to avoid recognizing the problem and finding the solution for it. Charity becomes a way to shrug off our responsibility. But charity is no solution to poverty. Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor. Charity allows us to go ahead with our own lives without worrying about the lives of the poor. Charity appeases our consciences.” 
“If you go out into the real world, you cannot miss seeing that the poor are poor not because they are untrained or illiterate but because they cannot retain the returns of their labor. They have no control over capital, and it is the ability to control capital that gives people the power to rise out of poverty.” 
“People.. were poor not because they were stupid or lazy. They worked all day long, doing complex physical tasks. They were poor because the financial institution in the country did not help them widen their economic base.”  
“Poverty is the absence of all human rights. The frustrations, hostility and anger generated by abject poverty cannot sustain peace in any society. For building stable peace we must find ways to provide opportunities for people to live decent lives.” 
“I believe that we can create a poverty-free world because poverty is not created by poor people. It has been created and sustained by the economic and social systems that we have designed for ourselves; the institutions and concepts that make up that system; the policies that we pursue.” 
Here's the clincher...


“The needs of people around the world are real and urgent, and how we respond to them will help to determine the future of the human race." 

Why such a strong focus on poverty? Because I believe when one person suffers, we all suffer and poverty results in more suffering than all the various other noble causes combined. I feel very strongly that until we can conquer this issue on a social scale we will be limited in our collective ability to evolve as a species. As I said before, people have within them infinite wells of potential and creativity. However, poverty stunts creativity in a very major way. Pull people out of poverty and what happens is creativity multiplies exponentially.

So, it begs the question, if we carry within us the power to end world poverty, then HOW are we going to do it? This picture illustrates my prediction:

The intricate lace of One

Lucas' article today hit so many points with clarity that I cannot even begin to recite them all.  I will say that one of the biggest points that jumped out for me was in this sentence:

"None of you has the full big picture."

 None of Us!

This to me is one of the most important things that people need to realize:  That there is absolutely no one out there, nor down here, that has all the answers.  No ONE. 

I can give you my opinion, I can tell you what resonates with me, I can draw your attention to articles that I find very enlightening or that make my heart pound with internal yesness..... but it is only MY opinion and resonance. I can tell you what I think is/has/will happen.... I can tell you all that I dream and yearn for.  But that is all I can give you- my perception and opinion.  And that is all that anyone can give you, for the entire, complete answers remain hidden.... for now.

We are all on a personal journey.  Our paths intertwine and circle each other, creating an intricate web of the finest silken lace, and that is the beauty that we create.  If we were all to follow the same course, believe exactly the same thing, repeat the same words, walk the same path, there would be no beauty of the elaborately spun webs that we have woven together. Instead there would be an expanse of boring broadcloth, evenly knitted and knotted threads with no grace or elegance, lacking in artistry and fascination.

Therein lies the experiment, the experience of duality and separation.  As we weave our paths in and around each other, touching for moments, either long or short, then spinning off in a different direction till our paths cross again, we strengthen our individual strands and create the most beautiful gossamer web of filigree threads.  One thread alone might seem fragile and frail, and yet as millions of threads weave together in their intricate lacy dance, they become stronger than the thickest sheet of canvas.

We are each alone responsible to our selves and for ourselves. You are on your journey, as I am on mine, and she is on hers and he is on his.....  We lead only ourselves for only ourselves can tell us where we are going. Sometimes streams and pathways join together and then separate only to join up again later on.  For me it truly IS about balance and flow. As I wind my way through the stream, I hold myself in balance so that I am not spun off course as other rivers and paths flow around me, yet in balance I can also flow with those streams.

We are all, each and everyone of us, individuals strands.  We are all equal and yet brilliantly different.  Some times we need a reminder of that.  A reminder that we are each on our own separate journey to Oneness and that our perception is solely our own. Can you kNOW where anothers path has been and where it is going? Can you kNOW what role they agreed to play in this masterpiece of separations and Oneness?  Their path is theirs, your path is yours. Our paths criss-cross continuously and endlessly, and yet they are individual. 

We are the separate threads that create the beauty and brilliance of the intricate lace of ONE.

Follow your path and you will see the beauty as it weaves itself behind you, but look ahead and you will see all the paths unfolding before you are just as beautifully intertwined.

Lucas – The New Is The Most Exciting You Ever Will Encounter Every Moment Of The Now 

Posted on January 22, 2014 by lucas2012infos


It is time to face reality and get back into balance. Are you able to step over your own shadows and really see, hear, listen and for most sense. You will be see  that humanity has enough awakened humans already and that all that is change is inevitable changing as  the base tone of our multiverse is not duality anymore but balanced duality that centers to one and unity.

So your necks are safe for those fearing to let go of their old personal interest and beliefs as one needs the input of both polarities to become balanced.  It is getting out of extremes. We need to work together on the balance  of both polarities and work together to become one. In this effort there is no place for retribution, hatred, fear, killing, pain, past, future, resentment, it is not about that  and more anymore.

The key is inner individual balance that will reflect also balance outside of you. Some call it the projected reality or your perception. It is not easy to find balance but you can manage and are equipped to deal with it. Former extreme dark or former super Light, we will all succeed. It is an individual process all need to go through.  No worries we are with bumps in the road having a learning curve to find back to that what always was, is and shall be as it is ONE.

We can build a new world only with new ingredients and in really new ways. That also means that you are going to work on the abundance that is and was always yours on this planet and do not hide anymore behind your personal interests, needs,your past and future fears.  For all those still busy with rescue/ prosperity and humanity relief funds,  for those waiting on RV’s,  for those fighting over collateral accounts and its assets, for  those saying to have the gold or those hording it and for those still printing fiat currency at the expense of our humanity, wake up!

Get working together and stop still forcing polarities that can not be or even survive in this new paradigm. You have all  the inner knowledge of this. Money is an ending concept but will be for transitioning needed as a tool for those still awakening and transitioning themselves.  We will find our new ways of exchange but they will not be based upon the old systems.

The days are over for a few running the world. It is time to see we all are our own individual rulers. Individually in cooperation and being self empowered and self-governed humans, we need no custodians and rulers, priests and controllers to make things work.  All those “elite” on or off planet, that still think to know the outcome of their actions and secret planning for millenia and so-called prophesies will be having a hard time.

None of you has the full big picture. The new is created newly and can not be known. The new is new and will not be polluted by all that what has its origins in the past or future. If things are brought into existence now and are NOT meant to stay, they will see their build on quicksand and vanish. We will be seeing creation with the best intent for all that even upon an old structure temporary can exist to make things transition.

Transitioning into the new is now foremost a transitioning from your mind, that has been given the wrongful leader role, back to the heart. Your heart is your source and your first brain. In the first stages of your life your embryo developed first the heart and the heart has its own 40.000 brain cells.  Your first brain is your heart and that is not the same as your brain in your head which develops later on.

Your heart had been disconnected from its real purpose by intoxication, medicine, pollution, manipulation, belief systems and education to become secondary  in nature. The mind was always intended to be in service of the heart and not the other way around. The hearts reflected “speech” is really running the show as it gives its ‘electrical pulses/information towards the brain.

The brain is your secondary center to physiologically make things work. It also for those not yet awakening to their heart-source connection has become an independent center that makes thoughts the foremost important ingredient of speech and expression. We are going to work out that the heart in connection with Source and the brain will give us new ways of “communication” based on combined senses and new balanced emotions generated in symbol and picture/film like inner-projected language that also will be spoken through telepathic connection with others.

Newly found abilities some have already developed in the first stages in the old paradigm. Some have misused their abilities for selfish purposes, for power and for manipulation in being on the darker side of the fence, so to say. Others have used their already developed abilities for healing, support, creation for the good of all on the light side of the fence. Most of us have been hopping in their lives between both polarities in little peaks and stages on both sides of the fence. Sometime have found intentionally of unintended, conscious or unconsciously sometimes the middle the balance.

The new though is NOT about duality and polarities but an intricate equilibrium that shows itself in cooperation, equality, and mastership of conflict resolution. It is about being individually the empowered lightbeings that work in all for the common causes together in unity and peace.  It is about individual creation and living without harming each other.  Would it work I hear lots think….
