Hello Dear Friends and Cultural Creatives,
Margaret and I are in beautiful New Zealand where I have the honor of being a visiting faculty at the New Zealand College of Chiropractic. NZCC is one of the very few vitalistic chiropractic institutions in the world. Vitalism emphasizes the role of energy and consciousness as an overriding factor in shaping our health and our lives. This is in contrast to conventional allopathic medicine that emphasizes genes and chemistry as the factors controlling our lives.
Officially, I teach Immunology, but I frequently digress afar … into the realms of quantum physics, fractal mathematics and evolution. I find it very rewarding to blow the minds of my conventionally trained students when I introduce them to the self-empowering and revolutionary insights from the “new” biology.
NEWS: Since my last newsletter there has been a major advance in the evolution of human civilization. While this news is three weeks old, many may not be aware of this profoundly important story of evolutionary enlightenment originating in Tunisia. So … let’s treat it as “breaking” news:
BULLETIN
Dateline Tunisia, January 26, 2014: Bright Light Appears in Desert
On Dec. 17, 2010, a 26-year-old street vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi stood in front of the municipal headquarters in his dusty central Tunisian town. Bouazizi, the family’s sole breadwinner, had been seeking the right to operate his street cart from corrupt local authorities, some of whom had been forcing him to hand over bribes to satisfy the police. On this day, a policewoman confiscated his cart yet again and physically beat him in public … the highest humiliation for a man in this fundamentalist country.
Up against the wall, desperate, humiliated, and with rage boiling over, Mohamed doused himself with gasoline and lit a match.
This one match ignited Mohamed and simultaneously lit the fuse to a civilization-changing revolution know as the Arab Spring. Mohammed’s ultimate act of protest resonated with millions of Tunisians whose everyday lives were confronted by the same frustrations, humiliations and abuses—injustice, corruption, hunger, crippling poverty. The welling of public outcry led to the fleeing of iron-fisted President Ben Ali, who ruled Tunisia for 23 years. Within days, the freedom-seeking revolution over-spilled the borders of Tunisia spreading into neighboring countries.
While limited violence marred Tunisia’s bid for freedom, the fate of other countries experiencing the Arab Spring, such as Egypt, Syria, and Yemen, degraded from massive civil and political upheaval into terrorism, atrocities and military interventions. Right now, Arab Spring fever has reached the Ukraine, and as far abroad as Venezuela, countries in which massive public outcries are currently battling political oppression.
Tunisian’s opted for a more peaceful path, choosing cooperation to create a new constitution guaranteeing the rights of citizen’s. After a rocky start, old-line conservative and fundamentalist government officials resigned and were replaced by a cabinet of liberal technocrats, which included 42 women in their 217-seat Assembly.
Working through two years of unsettling turmoil, evolving cooperation among Assembly members led to the ratification of a new constitution of profound significance to the evolution of human civilization. The new Tunisian “law of the land” is a template for the evolution of a global Humanity. Tunisian Assembly speaker Ben Jaafar said after the vote, “This constitution, without being perfect, is one of consensus. We had today a new rendezvous with history to build a democracy founded on rights and equality.”
In very profound ways, the Tunisian Constitution is more progressive than the Constitution of the United States. For example, one of their constitution chapters is made up of 28 articles dedicated to protecting citizens’ rights, including protection from torture, the right to due process, and freedom of worship. It guarantees equality for men and women before the law and a commitment from the state to protect women’s rights. Specifically, the constitution reads, “The State shall commit to protecting women’s achieved rights and seek to support and develop them,” and, “The State shall guarantee equal opportunities between men and women in the bearing of all the various responsibilities in all fields.”
In addition to guaranteeing equality between men and women, The Tunisian Constitution has a mandate for environmental protection, only the third country in the world to so. It also has a declaration that healthcare is a human right, with preventative care and treatment for every citizen.
The new Tunisian Constitution represents a profound step forward in the advancement of human evolution. With its strong commitment to universal human values, it truly represents a great victory for human rights. Tunisia’s vision provides an example for people deprived of democracy around the world.
Congratulations are in order for Tunisia. However, we must also recognize that there is still a hard road before them. They now must apply the new principles to a culture whose behavior has been shaped by generations of repressive ancestral beliefs/programs. Fortunately, their effort will be eased by the increasing percentage of the population representing the Millennial Generation, specifically those who have been plugged into, and awakened by the global Internet.
A cautionary note: The Arab Spring demonstrations were precipitated by high unemployment, poverty, food inflation, poor living conditions, corruption, a lack of freedom of speech and other political freedoms (… such as those taken away by the Patriot Act!).
If you are a resident in the United States, the California drought is going to play a BIG role in the quality of your life. A vast majority of food consumed in the US is provided by California agriculture, which has already written off a harvest for this year. Consequence- Food prices in the States are about to significantly skyrocket. NOW is a good time to stock up on food for your pantry before the prices rise. A suggested rule of thumb is that you put away enough food to take care of your self for 30 days.
This Month’s Video: Stories of Evolution. As emphasized in The Biology of Belief and Spontaneous Evolution, the fate of our world is directly linked to our developmental programming. With knowledge of the programming period in a child’s life, parents can create environments where their children can learn to thrive into the future. The fruits of this knowledge are nowhere better expressed than in the story of the Hummingbird Community. Visit the website here. This month’s Newsletter Video has founding community members Katharine and Makasha Roske share some of their insights on the community’s work with conscious birthing and conscious parenting. The creative environment they provided led to their children’s creation of a growing planetary movement called Earth Guardians, a global network of youth environmental activists. Joining us in the video is their beautiful son, Jeremy who is now creating a theatrical production of indigenous African wisdom that can help guide today’s youth. In an earlier newsletter, I had written of Katharine and Makasha’s 13 year-old grandson Xiuhtezcatl Martinez who recently received a Volunteer in Service to America Award from President Obama … nice kids!
I truly thank you all for being cultural creatives seeking new ways of life to help us thrive into the future. Hopefully, reading this newsletter will help fill you with positive visions and inspiration in this time of chaos, as we transition from unsustainability to a world of harmony and health.
With Love and Light,
Bruce
