Spirituality Salon: Our Moment of Choice
By the Oracle Institute
Every second Friday of the month is the Oracle Temple Spirituality Salon. Each month, we select a new theme to explore, with topics ranging from sacred texts, to indigenous wisdom, esoterica, and New Age theosophies. We then engage in a spirited discussion, and we welcome you to share your thoughts and help us learn more about ourselves, each other, and God.
December's Theme will be Our Moment of Choice.
Kurt Johnson will discuss the theme of his new book with contributing authors Diane Williams, Deborah Moldow, and Bob Atkinson:Humanity is currently facing a series of interconnected emergencies that threaten our very survival—from climate change to economic inequality and beyond. And yet, at the same time, a global shift towards harnessing our collective power to create a life-affirming future is flourishing. Our Moment of Choice provides eye-opening and inspirational visions for a unified, peaceful, and thriving world. The time has come for all humanity to be united in purpose. This is our collective moment of choice, upon which our future depends.

(Excerpted from my closing ceremony for the below conference hosted by Invite Change (https://www.invitechange.com)
"If the world is ending and the Messiah arrives, first plant a tree, and then see if the story is true." ~ Rabbinical Teaching
Pachakuti is an ancestral Inka wisdom precept that speaks to life's inherent cyclical nature involving periods of creation, preservation, and the destruction of a species or environmental habitat. Meaning 'world reversal' or 'cosmic transformation,' a Pachakuti is the ritual transmogrification of chaos into order and breakdown into a breakthrough. From the perspective of Andean shamanic traditions, the whole-systems crisis experienced on earth offers people from all walks of life a unique evolutionary opportunity to midwife a new way of being human that transcends the polarizing ideological origins behind our current Great Turning.
Evolution is punctuated by sudden appearances of novel and unforeseeable forms of life. We can therefore expect the same from both the soul maturation and psycho-spiritual evolution of humankind. Eschatology is probabilistic; catastrophe is conditional. The Ultimate Message: It's up to us to Show Up, to Be Fully Present, to Speak Our Truth unencumbered by fear, doubt, or insecurity, to give empathic flight to our hearts and free our minds from the perilously objectified constraints of scientific materialism and religious fundamentalism. The Time is Now, and Now is the Time. We are in the midst of the 'Perfect Storm' for allowing our soul awakened imagination of what is possible when united to freely soar upon the wings of condor and eagle, empowered by our shared experience of reverence for All Our Relations as Pachamama's children. Our partnership with the sacred spiral imprint of evolution is vital to gracefully align in consciousness with life's wonderfully unpredictable nature, with the intrinsic regenerative power of transformation, flow, change, discovery, and growth. With playful, childlike wonderment and awe, curiosity, inventiveness, and dreaming, we are being called to sing and dance our seven generation service vision as a Labor of Love into the world. In essence, our human re-Membering, as a life-affirming presence on the planet, requires a radical surrender of all craving for approval and control. Only then shall we be able to selflessly harness Creation's wisdom beauty to serve as our healing light on the earth.
Remember this: experience it, be it!
In beauty, don Oscar
"When we surrender the need to figure it all out, and cultivate the ability to let it all in,
then our earth walk becomes a sacred dance of healing presence on the planet.
More than the world needs saving, it needs loving.” ~ don Oscar

September: A Month for Unity and Peace
By Jon Ramer
Do you Remember… the 21st Night of September?
Thank you for your participation in the amazing array of events and activities that took place in September 2020. From the multiple stops on the Caravans of Unity - did you know there was more than one Caravan? - the 11 Days of Global Unity, the UP Convergence, the Peace Weekend 2020 Global Broadcasts, the International Day of Peace, The Shift Network Festival and Summit, Peace One Day, UNIFY, UPLift Connect and more!
There is no simple way to summarize what happened and what difference we made. I won’t even try. It was unique for each of the thousands of people who participated. To give you one measure of the level of engagement, we stopped accepting proposed presentations for the UP Convergence at 500!
In addition to reaching many new people, convergence room stewards, presenters and participants established and deepened personal connections by collaborating with existing and new friends. We moved UP individually and collectively to reach higher ground by UPping our collective capacity to adapt, grow, collaborate and build a strengthened network of networks.
“Remain true to yourself, and move ever upward toward greater consciousness and greater love! At the summit you will find yourselves united with all those who, from every direction, have made the same ascent. For everything that rises must converge.”
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The UP Convergence webpage offers an overview of the Multi-Zoom Global Online Summit that culminated in a 3-Day Peace Weekend starting on 9/11 and continuing through 9/21. There were over 25 Convergence Rooms active with multiple presentations simultaneously all ramping up to Peace Weekend.
A crucial part of sharing collective experiences and synergized impacts is to be able to make meaning out of the memories and results. There is an art to craft a story that frames the challenges that we are facing and offers a pathway forward to achieve a future that we want, and the next steps to make it happen. Here is a beautiful example created by Kara Stonehouse, from The Hague Center for the UP Convergence 2020.

Evolutionary Collective: Global Gathering Community
By Patricia Albere
I’m excited to invite you to join me and others yearning for an empowering way to hold these times at our new Evolutionary Collective: Global Gathering Community. All the information about the gatherings and how you (and your friends and family) can participate is HERE.
Quietly and steadfastly, through our work in the Evolutionary Collective, we have created and populated a world that begins to reflect what is possible for humanity. There are perspectives and practices, and a powerful morphogenic field that holds the unitive patterns we are participating and living inside of.
This is the beginning of hundreds, eventually thousands and possibly millions of us joining together in an ever deepening web of love and unity.
At last, we are harnessing the connective power of the Internet to revolutionize evolution itself and share unity consciousness on a global scale.
I hope you’ll join us as we spread unity consciousness on a global scale.

Keys for Thriving in the New Pattern
By Jeff Vander Clute
October 2020
While the attention of humanity has been focused on the pandemic, the global operating system has been quietly upgraded. The organizing principles and archetypes of societies have shifted. The roadmap for achieving the good life has evolved. Although the story is not yet being told widely, we are collectively standing on a new foundation, and by working together in the new ways that are aligned with life we will build an equitable and prosperous world.
The “keys for thriving in the new pattern” have been sourced intuitively and applied with excellent results. As you work the keys and follow the suggested sequence, your life will transform in beautiful ways.
The Keys
Availability to the timeless. Meditate, relax, and commune with nature to receive inspiration from vaster being.
Openness to new possibilities. Be open to wholly unexpected opportunities that may take unfamiliar forms.
Authenticity. Know who you are and show up fully as the true self. Success depends on being authentic rather than fitting in.
Self-confidence and self-assurance. When you are truly yourself, confidence comes naturally.
Loving everyone. Find it in yourself to love, especially when it is challenging to do so. The alternative does not work.
Offering what you love in service. In the new pattern, doing what you love as a sacred offering brings abundance.
Generosity. That which you give freely is returned to you many times over by life, in ways that cannot be predicted.
Presence. When you live with an awareness of the roots of your being, you uplift the world simply by being.
Letting life live through you. The roots of your being and life are the same. Life is what you are, and it seeks to express beauty and goodness through the person that is also you.
Trusting life. Life mirrors your beliefs and expectations. When you trust life, life demonstrates that it is trustworthy.
Creative expression. Creativity is the deep upwelling of the source of all. As you practice creativity you deepen into Source.
Releasing your old self. The old you is passing away with the previous pattern. Let it go gently, with appreciation.
Welcoming the unexpected and unpredictable. The gifts of vaster being come as happy surprises when you trust life.
Welcoming my new self. You are going to love the new you.
Radical transparency. The time for hiding yourself, your talents, and your visions is over. Share who you are inside and out.
Truth is a controversial word these days. Some others are convinced that their truth is the only truth, while others think it's all relative. With the distortions of bias and ego, it's extremely difficult to find objectivity as we navigate our lives. In this talk, Craig explores the cultural, philosophical, and spiritual roots of our relationship to truth, and offers practical wisdom about how to find clarity in a relative world.
20/20 Amplified Prayer Healing Portal Days
By Jennifer McLean
The Planet Needs You & Your Contribution In Prayer...
The world is in an interesting evolutionary precipice... have you noticed?
Each of us is being asked to step up... to wake up to our great power. We are being nudged firmly to move into a new paradigm of openness, authenticity, and love in a more pure and genuine way.
Know that things are changing, and even if it doesn't look like it... the truth is coming forward, lies are being exposed, and love is rising up.
And the absolute proven way to support this pivotal moment of healing is through the remarkable miracle that is prayer.
ONLY 30 Days in Any New Century Where the Day Matches the Year...
When I was guided to create this now famous Prayer Circle, I was shown that there are ONLY 30 years in each new century where the number of the day matches the number of the year.
And on those days, which match the year, there is a "numerological" portal present that contains intensely supportive prayer energies.
The 20/20 Prayer Circle is now here to support you in healing and contribution.
Almost 100,000 amazing souls have joined in contribution to this prayer circle over the last 7 years...
And actual miracles have been experienced by participants including:
Health challenges that simply cleared up
Profound life changes for family and friends
A deep sense of connection and contribution to be part of something that made a difference
LIVE Interactive Prayers At Noon On the 20th Day of Each Month...
You'll be joining in LIVE each month at 12:00 noon pacific/California time (1pm Mountain, 2pm Central, 3pm Eastern/New York time)...
AND you'll have immediate access to any previous months prayer circles.
The initial part of the Prayer circle involves personal healing, so you have those amazing deeply healing replays to access of past monthly Prayer Circles.
Use this sacred opportunity to move through this 2020 year with clear, unwavering intentions and a new monthly practice of creation through prayer... And receive the boundless benefits of a supported life with healing prayer in it.
I made this video for The Source of Wonder project to answer the question: How do I connect with the Divine Spark? The divine spark is our consciousness. We know it as that ever-present sense of “I am.” We do not need to do anything to connect with it, only remove the blocks to its presence. And that we can do by choosing to pause our thinking for a moment and taste our true nature. https://peterrussell.com
Women's Leadership: Redesigning the Post-COVID19 Era
By Denise Scotto
Denise Scotto, Board Member of the Source of Synergy Foundation and member of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle, announced that the International Federation of Women in Legal Careers was delighted to co-sponsor and facilitate a special high-level parallel event to the UN General Assembly relating to Women's Leadership, with Ambassador James K.J. Lee, Ambassador Kelley Eckels Currie, Ambassador-at-Large at the U.S. State Department for Global Women's Issues, and Ambassador Bi-khim Hsiao, and distinguished participants--virtually, of course!
The Sacred Mirrors are now installed at Entheon in a beautiful Chapel setting. Thank you to the support from friends near and far who have helped make it possible.
Allyson inspired the Sacred Mirrors exactly 42 years ago today on a sad walk home from a work of performance art we had done named Life Energy. That performance had my life-sized drawings of human “life energy systems” and Allyson @allysongreycosm thought I should make better paintings of the body mind and spirit of an individual. I started the series immediately. Allyson also named the series the Sacred Mirrors (!) so it is to her I say the deepest thank you for a life lived in relationship with higher love and purposeful creative spirit - a journey of discovery that has brought a church into existence and a community into relationship with the same force.
Thank you to the Art Spirit community that has been building with us over the years. Entheon is still under construction and we cannot open to visitors yet but you can see the progress. Check out the new “History and meaning of the Sacred Mirrors” on CoSM.tv if you would like to heart the whole story in Allyson & my words. Entheon will likely be open sometime in 2021.
I have a question I would like to invite us to consider this month: Where would our theologies be if we taught of a God who stood by this promise found in the Bible: "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged. Condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned."--- ? (Luke 6:37)
Are we ready to accept the reality of a Deity who has no need, no desire, and no intention to judge and condemn, so long as we do not judge or condemn others?
Does the Biblical passage mean that a Jew who does not judge or condemn others, or a Muslim who does not judge or condemn others, or a Bahá'í who does not judge or condemn others, or an atheist who does not judge or condemn others, will not be judged or condemned by God?
No, we are told by some religions, that is not what it means. God will not only judge and condemn those who belong to the "wrong" religion or no religion at all, God will punish them with eternal and unrelenting torture.
Of course, the contradiction between the Biblical promise and some of those teachings is obvious. So, did Luke not understand what he was told -- or is it we who have gotten it wrong ever since?
This is an aspect of what I have come to call humanity's ongoing perplexion regarding our Deity. It is a fact that virtually every major theology on the planet is founded on the idea of a befuddled Higher Power who is the creator of all, yet can somehow be displeased with something that the Higher Power itself has empowered.
Much in the world would change for the better, almost overnight, if we simply decided that it is true that God wants, needs, expects and requires nothing from any sentient being in the cosmos -- much less demand fealty and subservience under the threat of everlasting damnation.
As a Roman Catholic child I was taught that a person simply missing Mass on Sunday without a legitimate excuse (immobility, having to work, needing to care for a sick relative, etc.) would result in being sent to eternal punishment in hell, unless the sin had been confessed to, and forgiven by, a priest before that person's death.
Eternal hell for missing Mass without an excuse?
That's what I was taught. But what if it's simply not true, not accurate?
All of this, and a great deal more, is explored in the latest book emerging from the CWG body of work. I'm very excited about this entry in the oeuvre, as it offers not just a look at the human dilemma regarding our Deity, but at how that age-old dilemma can be revolved, through the collective adoption and universal embracing by humanity of a New Global Ethic.
This newest book also offers a detailed description of the metaphysical tools of creation with which every human has been gifted, and how to use them most effectively.
Titled The God Solution, it is due to be published on December 1, 2020, and may be pre-ordered now by emailing info@phoenixbooksinc.com and putting your name on the waiting list.
I hope you'll be served by this text, which offers a new way to use the Power of Pure Love.
The Future Creative Human - Exploring Evolutionary Learning
By Anneloes Smitsman
Abstract The global challenges now upon us require a deep dive into our assumptions about learning and development. Do our current capabilities and educational systems prepare us for tomorrow? Do we teach our children how to access and employ their future creative abilities to thrive? What kind of learning process can bring forth a thrivable future from within the systems of today? This paper explores these questions based on our research in the field of ecological psychology and systemic transformational change for thrivability. This paper offers guidelines that can be applied to any learning system to become future-fit for thrivability.
This article was written in the context of my PhD research at Maastricht University. Here are some brief sections from the article:
"How can we learn from our future; from the futures we want to avoid and the futures that hold the possibility for our greatest thrivability? How can we become future creative to thrive? What do we need to better understand about learning and development, to generate Evolutionary Learning Ecosystems (ELE) that can prepare us for the future?
[...] We are presented with an incredible opportunity to go beyond reacting and responding to the worst-case scenarios. It is time to embrace our ecological crisis as an opportunity and invitation to innovate our societies in whole new ways. It is time to accept this collective rite of passage. Throughout history there have been times when we were asked to go through a significant inner transformation before being able to effectuate an outer transformation.
[...] Learning and development for thrivability goes much further than the concept of and commitment to a sustainable world. A world that can merely be sustained within the carrying capacity of our planet does not actively seek to bring forth patterns for thrivability and flourishing. A thrivable world is the kind of world to which we can all say: yes, here I feel at home, here I can blossom, here I am supported to bring forth the best of my human potentialities; to this world I feel a deep commitment to keep it healthy, vibrant and alive for all generations to come—human and non-human. This is the kind of deep sustainability that we are aiming for, where we focus on the maximum good we can bring forth rather than the minimum harm.
[...] Through this paper, we have explored how to become a future creative human for a thrivable world. We discussed how through an evolutionary learning process based on the wisdom of life, we can apply these principles to design learning activities for our thrivability. We also elaborated on how the capacity of life to differentiate without losing the implicit cosmological order, and our human capacity to employ this differentiating capacity in an evolutionary coherent manner, form the foundation for evolutionary learning and development. Furthermore, we stated that thrivability is an evolutionary learning process through which we become future creative, and are, thus, able to actualize the thrivability potentials that are inherent within the future possibility space of life."
