Eight Life Saving Actions for 2017By Julian Rose OK, so youre still with me, and eager to break out of whatever is holding you back. Good. So the first action to take is ask yourself Where do I need to go in my life? and What is holding me back from going there? Give yourself enough time to actually answer these two questions, because without good answers you cant get to action number two. In some cases you might already know where you want to go and you might also have an inkling of what it is that is holding you back. Fine. In this case your next task is to stop prevaricating and simply do it. The time for prevarication is long passed. You can go forwards or backwards, but not hang around in no mans land waiting for the rescue party to winch you out. Action number two is the starting point for a number of practical, pragmatic actions that you must take in order to come alive to a point where you can think clearly, feel good about yourself and get your house in order. Also to enable you to start your role as a member of the resistance. So, action number two concerns what you put in your stomach; from day to day, week to week, month to month and year to year. Food is absolutely fundamental to all our lives, but choosing the right food is equally fundamental to the nourishment of body, mind and spirit. Unless you are nourishing all three you arent moving forward towards the manifestation of your true destiny, nor are you going to be much use to the resistance. And its vital that you join-up with the minimum delay. So you have a choice: go to your closest farmers market, ecological farmer or natural foods store and purchase real food, ecologically grown and minimally processed, packaged and preserved. Make such food the basis of your eating needs from now on, because everything else is killing you. Or, and this is the second option, get involved with a local food cooperative, or similar, and start learning how to grow your own food. This has the advantage of earthing you, a survival factor necessary in this age of gizmo addicted virtual reality, which destroys the ability to be human and to act humanely. Thats youre starting point for all that follows. Leave the issue of a decent diet out and you will have no secure health foundation upon which to take the actions youll need to take in order to turn the tide on the 1% who are your chief oppressors. You will also have taken a deliberate action in supporting the restoration of nature and the environment, by acquiring food grown to a humane and environmentally benign formula. Excellent. Compare that with supporting your nearest dedicated globalist supermarket food and people killer. Taking action to help save the life force of this planet from terminal destruction at the hands of corporate killers, is a key component of your involvement in the resistance. It gets you out of the state of perpetual worrying about yourself, as though your life was the only thing that mattered. Your life does matter, but taking it to the point of obsession is called narcissism and its pretty much an epidemic in affluent and semi-affluent Western World right now. Its a fundamental reason why so little is done to redirect the evolution of this planet. Action number three involves kicking out as many as possible of the toxic elements that form part of your daily home life. For example: the phosphate-enriched washing powder; the sugary synthetic toothpaste; the excessive amount of plastic; the junk food snacks; the TV (mind killer); the Wi-Fi (mind/body killer); the mobile phone (mind/body killer); the microwave oven (mind/body killer); the Smart Meter (mind/body killer) the hard alcohol (mind/body killer). Im not going to produce a definitive list because you can find hundreds of books and websites that do this and Im assuming you wish to take control of your destiny and not have a nanny permanently on hand to change your nappies. Action number four: wake up your spirit! We are all spiritual beings. We all have our origins in this cosmic firmament. All our energies are shared with this amazing universe, from whence we came. But we are blocked. Sometimes by our own lack of motivation and sometimes by forces that wish to prevent our awakening. Usually elements of each of these. But its no use moaning about it and doing nothing to alleviate this crisis of human nature. Action number four involves getting onto the path of creative exigence and developing the intent to become that powerful and courageous being you really are. Now then, I hear you saying Yes, sure, but how on earth does one actually do this? And my reply is: no set formula. No instant fix. However, starting today provides something pretty close to an instant fix. So heres my advice: get your body moving! Run, dance, jump, swim, dig. But whichever you do, do it fully, boldly and enthusiastically. Get out into nature and rejoice that she still exists. Rejoice that you have a life at all that you are so blessed that you are so fortunate. After all you might have come back as a nematode and have a fair bit of work to do to achieve humanness! Give thanks to your Creator for having been given the opportunity to do something valuable on this planet; something creative in this life. Then, so as to go further and enhance the sense of coming alive, which should be getting underway by now if you are following my instruction, start to practice Hatha Yoga, because Hatha Yoga combines all the other activities mentioned above, in one. Clear a space in your now detoxified home for doing this yoga, and you will be amazed how revivified you will feel. How fresh every day seems; how energetic you are becoming. The combination of rhythmic stretching combined with deep breathing provides a powerful means of reconnecting with universal prana (energy). When I was a young man of 24, the commencement of regular sessions of Hatha Yoga opened up a great well of potential within me and also enabled me to see/feel where I wanted to go and how I wanted to get there. It led me directly into joining the resistance. After a gap of around thirty years, I started up again and have been doing one hour every morning for the past ten years. So this brings us to action number five. Now you are becoming increasingly conscious of the values that have turned your life around and how they contrast with your former lifestyle. This is a defining time. Truth is emerging as the goal to pursue in all facets of life, not just while doing yoga and meditation. In order to act on this new awareness, you need to harness your new-found clarity of vision to that which will bring the greatest good to the outside world. Taking actions that will directly counteract the control systems attempt to foster chaos, division, destruction and hate as ruling principles over humanity. This is the moment I declare: welcome to the resistance! The determination to embrace the way of justice and truth in all that matters is the resistance. One cannot become an aware human being until one recognizes the existence of the multi-pronged opposition which exists to humanitys awakening and emancipation. I speak of the forces of repression and centralized control whose web extends into all facets of society all aspects of the status quo. Once aware of this state and awake enough in yourself to recognize its symptoms, it is your duty (our duty) to go out into the world and give full support to counteracting the multifarious destructive deeds being perpetrated on a daily basis by these forces. It should be beyond obvious that they will continue their heinous activities so long as there are no attempts or entirely inadequate attempts to stop them. We are talking about forces that have their origin in a very small percentage of the population of this planet, but that have a multitude of blind followers. Coming forward to expose and block the criminal activities of these tyrants is your service to humanity. To the planet which has raised and nourished you. To your fellow citizens, and to your Creator. That special force which equipped you to be courageous in the face of opposition, but which so many feel inclined to deny. This is the action which will define you as being either a true human, or simply a tepid imitation. It is in this arena that so many good talkers fail to metamorphose into good walkers. So that, in the end, all the talk amounts to nothing. Empty and wasteful are the words that do not translate into deeds. I stress this, as up to now, this is the area of our greatest failing. No one who discovers his/her mental, spiritual and physical powers can turn their backs on the mass injustices of this world and hide themselves away in isolated enclaves. No, not even to pray and meditate for peace. The Resistance is a coming-together of compassionate individuals determined to form a block against the progress of all that undermines the health and vitality of nature, fellow humans, the environment, the animal kingdom and to the sanctity of life itself. Join it now, or remain part of the slide into slavery which guarantees continued support for the powers that be. Action number six also involves, as far as possible, freeing yourself from the system. For a start, giving up the nine-to-five job, unless it is specifically concerned with counteracting the suffering felt by millions unable to cope with the vicious, inhuman demands of a moribund status quo. Now is when you also take another significant step. That of dropping your familiar ties with those who are not prepared to take control of their destinies. This means giving up the easy socializing with family, friends and relations, and fully aligning yourself with the pull of your soul. It is simply not possible to maintain a split life any longer. This does not mean never visiting close family. Sharing love is, of course, never to be decried; but be careful, your new-found spirit energy can easily be stolen unless you watchfully maintain its centrality in all contacts and all realms of daily life. The Seventh Action in your master plan of human emancipation, is to start liberating yourself from all remaining forms of attachment to corporate and government providers. For example, energy corporations; banking institutions; health-care systems and overt reliance on the educational and legal system. You are unlikely to achieve all these in one go, but get started, because soon these institutions are going to fail; and now your actions are going to be about community. Communities forging new and innovative alternatives to the disastrous agenda in which so many remain trapped today. By now you will have ceased thinking it doesnt matter that you are supporting institutions that you know are destroying the planet and the lives of millions of living beings. You will have realized that every action you take is either promoting life or promoting death. Think carefully about it. This phase leads directly into Action Eight; what I call Building the Ark. Because we have to do this. Very soon it will be too late. These arks will be havens of sanity, peace and love amidst a rapidly unraveling state of conventional law and order; a moving into chaotic confusion of much of what we have become accustomed to over the past few decades, as imperfect as it has been. Building the ark is to come together with fellow souls and spirits so as to lay down the foundations of that which will endure and outlive the coming storm. This demands real courage, creativity and commitment. It is, in many respects, a quite brilliant challenge. It consists of putting a long-term stake in the ground. The ground that feels best suited to supporting the successful establishment of this life-saving initiative. It might be that the building of such an ark is already underway near you and that you join this initiative, lending your talents to those of others in growing an extended family of fellow entrepreneurs. But whichever way it happens, you need to be involved in building a way of life in which, at a very minimum, the community sets about growing its own food; running its own renewable energy supply, building its own pro-ecological shelters (if no other housing exists) and developing its own natural medicine dispensary. These are just the preliminary fundamentals. This will best be undertaken in a rural setting, but could be achieved in a village or small town community, using existing housing stock and other adaptable basic support systems. These arks are to be the chief life support systems for humanity within the near future. Certainly within two to three decades. Once established, they will open their doors to others in search of sanctuaries of love, humanity and good will. They will be the life-lines that connect through from a time of disintegration to the building of the World to Come. With enough concentration of positive spiritual energy, these arks will gain higher protection from wanton invaders and cunning parasites. They will become treasures, islands amongst a sea of crumbling icons symbolizing decades of obsessive materialism. Imagine what an honor it will be to be amongst those who helped pioneer this stepping stone to the rebirth of an emancipated, joyous existence. A veritable life-line whose fragile reality will hold the key to the future of humanity as a whole. You will be proud of becoming a beacon of light, guiding others through the passage of times of darkness. You will experience deep joy in witnessing the rising sun whose rays spread out to illuminate a whole new chapter in the evolution of this tribe we call mankind. And dont forget, if you want 2017 to be a decisive turning-point, you need to be both foot soldier of the resistance and a builder of the ark. Both. Yes, both. It can be done. It will be done. So now get on with it. New Years Greetings to one and all. Julian is a resistance front-liner, a builder of arks, pioneer of organic farming, writer and actor. He is President of The International Coalition to Protect the Polish Countryside. He is the author of two acclaimed titles: Changing Course for Life and In Defense of Life, details of which can be found on www.julianrose.info Image Credit 40 acres and a mule. Instead of yoga, you might try Chi Gong, Tai Chi Chuan, Daoist/Buddhist Meditation techniques both active and passive; they are more dynamic and will help to open the eight internal meridians of your being that have been made dormant. Realize your supernatural tools and make contact with your essence of mind. Commit to these actions as part of Daoist thought (Quantum Mechanics) which is pretty much the philosophy of the above article. Your mind is your weapon and you are creating a spiritual warrior by merging the body/mind/spirit into a harmonized unit. Realize that the physical and the spirit are not different by using your mind to assemble a different view point from which to operate. You are the creator, their is no external god separate from your higher Self. You chose to be here, your parents were merely a vehicle for your arrival. Love your life and the life that is all of the creating energy around and within you. You are already immortal, stop wasting your time claiming belief and be the god you are. Useful tip PW. However the warrior also goes into battle with that which is invading sacred territory. You think those who write their comments are passive? How would you know? Become healthier to prepare for the revolutionYES. No matter how limited our ability to acquire hard assets we can all do something to be stronger. Very honest yet encouraging article. Bravo! Great Points, all. I am curious to know whether the writer knows even 2 people who manifest the points he is making and are successfully manifesting this joyous existence while actively being part of the Resistance? Id also add, importantly, that there continues to be a genuine shortage of kindness, empathy and compassion toward others. We know that acts of kindness reduce stress and make one feel connected to Life. What is preventing conscious folks from acting with more kindness? Id also ask whether this writer is conscious of how many Warriors in the Resistance he calls for have been seriously destroyed and harmed by the heinous forces he describes, and how little has been done to protect them by the media and people in a position to be of assistance. We can remember the DNC worker who was murdered while waiting to meet the FBI during the summer of 2016, as well as many other whistleblowers snuffed out as they tried to expose wrongdoing. That these powerful Elite have groupies is no surprise, and that is a different consensus. So, congratulations for putting many important issues together, and please let us know if you know even 2 people who have effected these changes while remaining active in the Resistance. See Janus, Ha, ha, fair question. I do know such people, but certainly agree that they are thin on the ground. What is critical here, is nurturing into beng enough spirit power so that it can act as a shield against back stabbing, mind controling, or any such attempts to snuff ones life. It is tragic that so many whistle blowers have been killed. These are truly brave souls and deserve better. But their work never goes in vain. The ripples that they cause, spread and others take up the torch. Life is more powerful than death and those who give their lives in this way are rewarded in cosmic evolutionary terms. Thus awareness grows, incrementally. Kindness is a quality everyone should foster, but wisdom is often harsh and stern witness nature. Keep up the good work and sentiments. Yes, I am conscious of the spirit power, but in a world of zombies and groupies, it may be an overstatement to even say thin on the ground. The fear and apathy factors seem almost insurmountable. However, by printing articles such as you have, you may inspire and/or support even a small number, and that has inestimable value, perhaps in ways we cannot know. If you learn what books inspired Mao and Hitler, it may surprise you. On the other hand, look at what books inspired Dr. Sun yat-Sen!!
