The Gems from the Global New Thought
Conference.
Greetings,
Still filled with the memories of wonderful speakers and the sight
of swaying palm trees, I now offer you a glimpse of the gems of
inspiration and information I received at the conference I recently
attended in Palm Springs. Within it’s theme “Human
Kindness Overflowing, the Path of True Power” this event
included a gathering of spiritual and personal development leaders
from around the world.
Although most speakers were very inspiring, the presenter whose
message I most resonated with was Barbara Marx Hubbard: a philosopher,
author, evolutionary educator and originator of the Foundation
for Conscious Evolution. She said ”we are living through
the greatest evolutionary opportunity since the origins of the
human race”. As she referred to the life-threatening global
problems we are facing, she stated that the necessary “collective
awakening can happen in the blink of an evolutionary eye”.
For the past few years, millions of people have been stepping
forward from every faith and tradition, from every sector of society-
in health, education, arts, media, environment, government, science
and technology – to respond to new callings and life purpose,
the awakening to spirit-motivated social action.
Along with Barbara, I feel a sense of urgency about the next decade
and the need for us to utilize all of our external and internal
resources to participate in the global transformation that is required
for our survival. Next year, I will be working in collaboration
with Barbara to develop a Circle of Co-Creation group locally.
In continuing my commitment to help those of you desiring to live
an authentic and courageous life, I ask you to consider your role
in the “evolutionary awakening”. Yes, I know you have
very busy lives and there may not be time or energy left for taking
more actions. And, as Dr. David Hawkins said at the conference
when everyone is asking what they can do, the answer lies more
in being than in doing. In order for all of humanity to awaken,
we need the shinning light of our consciousness to come through
with full force and glory. So allow yours to come through and let
it lead the way for yourself and others.
On any given day of your life you have many opportunities to
express in your actions a way of being the best person you can
be around others. What will you chose? Being real, open, compassionate,
creative, present, congruent or joyful? Or being indifferent, guarded,
preoccupied, conflicted or judgmental? And yes, there are trying
circumstances in which you are challenged. Yet the freedom to choose
what you think, what you focus on, what attitude you adopt and
how you behave is still yours. The best inner place to choose from
is in the light of the connectedness between your heart and your
mind.
On November 30th, I will be leaving to participate
in another conference. This one is in Bali and is called “Quest for
Global Healing” with Desmond Tutu as one of the main speakers.
I look forward to sharing the gems from that with you next month.
Until then, be whole, be well and be true to yourself.
Yours wholeheartedly,
Isabelle St-Jean
Words of Inspiration
Kim Ridley, the editor of Hope magazine, which is unfortunately
ending its publications this month, wrote:
After spending most of a decade editing stories for Hope, I see
a groundswell building toward a kinder, more just, compassionate
and hopeful world. Even though it’s rarely shown on the nightly
news, a revolution of hope is well under way.
In the spirit of contribution to our evolutionary awakening and
the importance of lightning up and not taking ourselves too seriously,
here’s a great quotation from George Bernard Shaw:
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized
by yourself as a mighty one… being a force of nature instead
of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining
that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
And to remind you of the preciousness of life, this quotation
is by Frederick Buechner:
Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In
the boredom and pain of it, no less than in the excitement and
gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart
of it, because in the last analysis all moments are key moments
and life itself is grace.
