"It's all about energy!!!" by Mirko Betz Why we do not have peace on earth? Why can’t we just get along? Why do I have to lock my car? Why can’t I trust that car sales man, this stock broker, that politician? Ever wondered about this? If everyone was like me, it would be all good. Right? If everyone was like you and me, • We would not need to lock our cars and apartments, because no one would take what is not his. • We would not speed, so no need for speed limits and cops patrolling the streets and writing tickets. • We would never steal, lie, cheat, hurt or kill anyone, so there would be no needs for laws, courts, prisons and death row in the first place. We have the world, the freedoms, the laws, the restrictions, we create, so we have the world we deserve, have we not? Yet, the world that you and I would create would be different, but is not to be, not as of yet anyway. Why not? Ever wondered why the world is what it is? Why there is war, corruption, serial killers, mass murderers, child molesters, thieves, robbers, spam mails, tele-marketing, drug dealers, pimps, terrorism, preemptive war, patriotism, nationalism, fundamentalism…? Ever wondered? Why the Liberation of Iraq turneed out such a big fucking mess? Why there’s genocide in Darfur, Sudan, Rwanda? Why the holocaust was possible? Why the Iraqi people did not create a thriving democracy? Why Muslims hate (or should I say “fear”) Jews and deny them the existence of their own state? Why Jews hate (or should I say “fear”) Palestinians and deny them the existence of their own state? Why most car dealers screw you over, or why you can’t fully trust your stock broker, your investment advisor, your priest, your president, your best friend, maybe even your spouse? Wonder no more. It’s all about energy, my friend! After reading Dr.Hawkins’ books POWER vs FORCE and TRUTH vs FALESHOOD. It became very clear to me. They do not know better (including me, sometimes). Even if our desire is for peace and harmony on earth, with the world on average calibrating at slightly above 200, peace on earth is an absolute impossibility!!!!! We are, as a species, globally, internationally, worldwide, we are simply “not there yet”. This is no judgment here. It’s simply an observation. It’s also liberating. We could stop trying so hard. It is the answer to all the big questions. Why can’t we have the same democratic system in Sudan, Iraq, North Korea, Iran, and yes Russia, as we have here in the US? Why was there war in Kosovo and Serbia in the heart of Europe, in the 90’s? Why is there Neo Nazis, why Islamo Fascists, why was Jesus killed, why was Gandhi assassinated, JFK, Bobby, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln? John Lennon? Rabin? Saddat? Why are almost all the peacemakers slain? Why? Why? Why? Why does the UN fail over and over again to establish peace in certain countries on this planet? Why was the invasion of Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq such a huge failure? Well, the intention is well, it’s well intended, yet - and here it comes: If u go into a country that calibrates between 0-199, what do u think is going to happen? My take: They can’t get along, they can’t keep their word, they are not capable of peace, integrity, democracy. And no one can blame them. They are not there yet. They simply do not know better. Sorry to piss on your dream of Utopia, but I had it too, and my awakening came with a big bang. Darfur? Sudan? Iraq? Palestine? Don’t get involved. Let them go through the experience. Let them walk their path. I give you an example: Gandhi calibrated at 760, and the British Empire calibrated at the time at 190. The Brits had no stinking chance against this masters mission, granted it took a while, but they had to get out of the way. At the same time, the Indian people were not quite ready for independence as we know now. Why? As soon as The British left, as soon as the Indians had their independence, they started killing each other, Hindus killing Muslims, Muslims killing Hindus, the country plummeted into total chaos. Like Gandhi himself asked at the time. “Maybe we’re not ready?” The result. Instead of Gandhi’s vision of a unified independent India, the people, who were at a considerably lower Energy level than Gandhi himself, divided the country into Pakistan and India, two states who are sworn enemies today. They are brothers and sisters. The same people. And they are enemies today. Want more examples? South Korea. North Korea. Israel. Palestine. Why? My answer, borrowed from and based on David R Hawkin's research: High energy. Low Energy. Another example: Chamberlain met Hitler in Munich in the 30’s to get a guarantee that there would be “Peace In our Time.” Now, this was very well intended by the noble Brit. Sit down with Adolph and get his“word” that Germany would not wage aggressive war in Europe or anywhere else for that matter. Now Hitler gave his "word" alright, yet he calibrated somewhere around 45 at the time, so he did not come from integrity, nor could he have come from that place. You can’t even blame the guy. He didn’t know better. He didn’t have a concept of integrity, he was not in that place. He was calibrating soooo low, he had no concept of, and was not coming from a place of 200 - the level of Trust, Courage and Empowerment. Because he was not there, nor are/were they: Sadam Hussein, Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Osama Bin Laden, Arafat, Kim Jon Il (North Korea), nor is Iran, nor is the Middle East, nor is Africa. These levels are an enigma, or worse, a threat, to these personalities or regions: 300 - The level of Mercy, Forgiveness, Hope, Inspiration and Intention. The level of movies like the Field of Dreams (390), E.T. (375), Out of Africa (390), Toy Story (400), Jerry Maguire (375), Shakespeare in Love (395), Passion of the Christ (Edited version, 395). 400 - The level of Wisdom, Understanding and Meaning. 500 - The level of Love, Joy, Serenity, Oneness and Revelation. The level of people like Nelson Mandela (505), Sai Baba (485), Oprah Winfrey (510), Albert Einstein (499), Galileo (455), and to the movies Empire of the Sun (490), The Color Purple (475), Amadeus (455), Gandhi (455), Lost Horizon (455), It’s a Wonderful Life (450), Titanic (405), Little Buddha (445). 600 – The level of Peace, Bliss and Perfection. The level of the Dalai Lama (570), Pope John Paul II (570), Confucius (590), Yogananda Paramahansa (540), Socrates (540), Leonardo Da Vinci (565), Mozart (540), Ave Maria and Amazing Grace (both 575), and the Course in Miracles (600). 700 – The level of Enlightenment and Pure Consciousness. close to the level of people like Mother Theresa (710), Gandhi (760) Meister Eckhard (705), The New Testament (790), The movie The Big Blue (700) (Highest Calibrating movie on the planet as of today!) 800- The level of Enlightenment and Pure Consciousness. The level of Abraham (850), and the Lamsa Bible (880). 900 – The level of Enlightenment and Pure Consciousness. The level of people like Huang Po (960), Moses (910), The Twelve Apostle (980), The Bhagavad-Gita (910) and the Sound “Om” (975). 1000 - The level of Enlightenment and Pure Consciousness. The level of avatars like Jesus, Buddha and Krishna. Still wonder why Jesus was crucified? And - Do you think now that all hope is lost? No!!! With 421 - The United States is one of the highest calibrating countries today. (I'm not an Americam, I am not patriotic, I'm not a Republican, so lighten up...) This statment calibrates at true. It's all about energy remember!? Germany and Japan, who were both at a level of 50 during WWII, are today calibrating close to 300-400. This is amazing development! But this needs time. The world as a whole calibrates at 207 today. 200 is the turning point here, 199 being still destructive / weakening, and 200 being constructive / strengthening. In 1989, human mankind made the leap from below 200 to above 200. After 40.000 years, this was the first time in history that human mankind had made that leap from below to above 200. This is good news indeed, especially since we are facing great dangers, such as the threat of global warming, terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. So, due to Hawkins' experiments, today - 22% of all people on this planet calibrate above 200, 78% calibrate below. In the USA it is 51% above, and 49% below. Which is amazing, and makes me wonder no more... (Well, okay, lately I am actually wondering about that, but I haven't had the guts to calibrate Bush and his agenda quite yet, I am (my ego is) not yet ready to be possibly proven wrong and deeply disappointed!) So, 22% of all people on this planet calibrate above 200, 78% calibrate below. That might seem depressing, but the good news is, the energy of the 22% counterbalance all the negativity of the 78% of humanity. In the US it is even more balanced. Plus: There is roughly a dozen avatars on this planet calibrating so high (600-900) that they counterbalance all the negativity of all of human mankind. So, in a world below 200, the chance of us surviving would be very slim, especially in a time when third world rogue states acquire nuclear weapons, however, above 200, survival, and in the long, very very very looooong run, world peace, is not guaranteed, but at least we’re having a chance of getting there. All problems in this world are created by the people/countries below 200!!! Again: This is not a judgment. It is a fact! Shangri La, Utopia, Heaven on Earth - will be possible when we all collectively reach 540, the level of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. You may agree with me, looking at all our problems worldwide, (even in the US), and especially in Africa and the Middle East, this 500 thing is very far down the road, but it is a light at the end of the tunnel. WANT GO EVEN DEEPER DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE? kinesiology: -n. The study of muscles and their movements, esp. as applied to physical conditioning. [Gk. kinesis, movement ( kinein, to move) +-logy.) Behavioral Kinesiology’s discovery is that indicator muscles would strengthen or weaken in the presence of positive or negative emotional and intellectual stimuli. Some results are perplexing: certain pictures with negative content (such as a picture of Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden, Fidel Castro & Stalin) would cause subjects to test weak, while other pictures (such as Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, Buddha & Gandhi) caused subjects to test strong. Virtually all classical music and most pop music (including “classic” rock-and-roll) causes a universally strong response, the “hard” or “metal” rock as well as gangster rap produced a universally weak response. In 1975 Dr. David Hawkins began research on the kinesiological response to truth and falsehood, tapping into an inner sub-rational wisdom that can differentiate truth and healthy from false and unhealthy. In over 250,000 Kinesiologic calibrations/muscle tests spanning a 20 year study, conducted by Dr. Hawkins at the Institute of Advanced Spiritual Research Hawkins in Sedona, Hawkins defined a range of values corresponding to well-recognized attitudes and emotions, localized by specific attractor energy fields. With an arbitrary scale of 1-1000 (below 200 weakening, above 200 strengthening) and the ©Map of Consciousness format, Dr. David R. Hawkins displays the classification of these energy fields to make them easily comprehensible. (For more information about Kinesiology and the ©Map of Consciousness please go to http://www.veritaspub.com/) It raises the question - Is the human brain, at some primal level, a wondrous computer linked with a universal energy field, that knows far more than it knows it knows? I think so… Imagine now, how different your “water” or your “soul energy” will react if you wear a Gandhi t-shirt instead of a Charles Manson, or a shirt that says “peace & love” instead of “fuck bush”, if you listen to Mozart or Norah Jones instead of 50 Cents and Marylin Manson, if you watch movies such as Field of Dreams, Amelie and Big Blue, instead of Godfather, Scarface, Saw and Pulp Fiction. Since words seem much more powerful than we had originally anticipated, we better be more aware about what kind of “words” we read, listen to, think and speak, and also what kind of words we wear. As Emoto and Hawkins have scientifically proven, everything is energy, including us, and words have a clear impact on our personal well-being as well as the health of our communities and planet…

By Mirko Betz Four weeks ago I received a phone call that one of my best and dearest friends killed himself. After going through my initial phase of anger, pain and shock, I pulled out one of my favorite books, one I haven't had touched in quite a few years. For days I started reading and re-reading "Questions and Answers on Conversations With God" by Neale Donald Walsch. The loss of my best friend made me think about the times I felt the “blues” myself. It also made me think about my passion for this life, and how I will have to “leave” some day, as well as my parents will, and all my best friends, and the love of my life - my wife, and when that will be, and how, and why… In Chapter 8 on "Death & Dying" Neale Donald Walsch says that - "Everything which occurs in our lives occurs in perfect order, including the end of our lives in physical form. Everything proceeds according to this perfect design which the soul has designed for itself at a superconscious soul level." "There is no such thing as an accident. Nothing happens by coincidence. Nobody dies before their time, or against their will. When we leave this body, you can be assured that we have chosen to, when our work here is done." Now, I have to say to be reminded of this really helped to heal some of the pain I was experiencing about my friends suicide, as well as it lessened my very own fears about any further deaths in the family as well as my own death -- Why bother "fearing" or "living in fear" if our exit point is already set in stone, right? Why be afraid? Between 25-70 Million Americans suffer from an anxiety disorder at some point in their lives. That’s up to 25% of the population. Anxiety is the most common mental disorder worldwide. We are afraid of being hit by lightning, of being eaten by sharks, of Muslim terrorists, Asian chicken Flu, and now we’re even afraid of eating spinach! The most “powerful” nations on this planet so afraid that they build walls and fences, mine fields, spy satellites and nuclear weapons. You want to make a buck in the stock market, invest in Safety, Defense and Security firms. Yet, why join the madness? Why not rather live every day to the fullest, be in the here and now, and stop worrying about possible threats, accidents, or thinking about safety & security measures for that matter? Who needs a safety belt or an airbag or nuclear weapons, if our death is pre-destined - anyone? This realization was a pretty liberating moment, I have to say, until that is, I kept reading on, and I came across more of Neale’s statements that seemed to contradict themselves. "There is no such thing as fate." "For God says that we are the creators of our own reality. If that's true, then "fate" in the purest sense cannot be a reality". " Your question about.... suggests that our fate is predestined. Yet, I tell you this, nothing is predestined in the mind of God, for the mind of God is your mind." " The questions suggests that there is something set in stone about all this that things are going to happen, and there is nothing we can do about it. Over and over the (CWG) books make the point that we are in charge of our own future, that we are the creators of our own reality." Further - On page 210-211, Neale states that God "did not let this (fatal accident) happen" to Cynthias's son, that "he (God) allowed him (her son) the choice he was making". That "God does not interfere with our free will, that we do not have to live a life over which we have no control." Now, needless to say, I was confused again, more than ever... My friend chose to end his life. It was a conscious decision. I get that, because it was suicide. But what about accidents? Murder? War? Cancer? Aids? Do we really have a free will here and if so why do bad things happen to good people? I'm sure if you would have asked John Denver, John F. Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Abraham Lincoln, Gandhi, Martin Luther King, or John Junior before they died -- don't enter that plane, don't drive down that street in Dallas without a bullet proof deck, don't wave at people from those motel stairs, don't fly to Martha's Vineyard today, and so on, they would have chosen to live rather than die. Even Jesus asked God "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." Yet as we all know, Jesus was not saved from death. Who’s will was done here? Most people would choose life over death. Health over sickness. So, “Am I a slave to my destiny, or its master?” Am I a slave to my Fate or the master of my Free Will? Dan Milmann, the author “The Way of the Peaceful Warrior”, describes this ancient paradox as follows – “We cannot fall off the path. Wherever we step, it appears beneath our feet. It may twist or curve, but it will eventually lead us upward. At the moment of birth we are given a specific mountain to climb, reflecting the force of predestination (fate/destiny). How we climb and the time we take are up to us, reflecting the power of free will. In other words we’re given the playing field, we choose how to play the game. We always have the power of choice. ” Alright, so there are tons of contradictions in Neale’s book, and there are many more, even in “the” book of all books - the Bible. The more you read the more confusing it all becomes. Maybe we should simply take the bits we like, the bits that resonate with us and disregard the rest. Or better -- If we are to become empowered then we must listen to our own inner voice (God within) and act upon that. Maybe it is possible that before a soul descends to earth, the soul makes a decision about the design of their life, yet a person through free will can change their original design due to day to day decisions they later make? Maybe there are probable futures--- which can change. Maybe nothing is set in stone. Things change. And yes, maybe free will and destiny are true yet maybe they are both relative and not absolute. Maybe on earth we have free will, but perhaps our soul in a different dimension has a different type of free will. I think spiritual teachings are not black or white and there are layers of wisdom that we must decipher. No one teacher has all the answers. I believe it is a great service to oneself to learn from different teachers and then to learn on our own. Teachers can be crutches to experiencing truth, which is our personal obligation. I “believe” or “hope to know” that my friend has not really died and nor will I, or any of the people I love so dearly. So, in the end, my friend’s death has inspired me and helped me evolve. That is a powerful gift to give thanks about. Eleven things I think I know… 1. No one teacher has all the answers. 2. Don't hang on to words in books too much. The more you read the more confusing it all becomes. 3. Go within. Trust your inner knowing. We must return to the knowledge that is held inside of us and act upon that. That's where our answers are. 4. No matter what is "written in the stars", we still get to choose. 5. Have the serenity to accept the things you cannot change, find the courage to change the things you can, and have the wisdom to know the difference. 6. Tolerate Uncertainty. Life consists of constant uncertainty and a degree of chaos. Absolute certainty is nonexistent. Accidents and unforeseen events happen. Bad things happen to good people all the time. 7. Learn to appreciate some adversity and some suffering. It’s part of life and makes you enjoy the good moments even more. Even if you tried to prevent them at all times, you could not do it. All you do is you ruin your present moment. 8. Worry never changes what will happen. Some people think if they worry enough, bad things won’t occur. Worry never prevents anything ever. 90% of the time things people worry about never happen. 9. Learn to embrace uncertainty, be tolerant, and live well today. Be, here, now. Live one day at a time. Enjoy one moment at a time. Present Moment is the only real time that you actually live your life. 10. Our souls, our Higher Self KNOWS, while our minds, our smaller self THINKS (and writes, and reads) about it… 11. It is what it is. And so be it… Shante Om Amen. Namaste MB
