1 Our Ultimate Reality Newsletter 28 August 2011 Dear Reader, I hope that you have enjoyed a most Joyful, Healthy and Abundant week. Well once again it has been an extremely eventful week for Humanity. More and more people are mentioning that they are noticing, and experiencing a "quickening", an exponential acceleration in the scale and magnitude of events. I have, from the beginning of the publication of this Newsletter in 2005 consistently shared the Truth that Humanity is in the throes of a Great Transition of Consciousness accelerating towards a pivotal "tipping point" - a Singularity. All Humanity, whether awakened or not, is very rapidly approaching this cyclical Singularity, but the final chapter is still being written by Humanity as a Whole. I see numerous "possible" or "probable" catalysts out there leading to the "End Game", both related and unrelated. These catalysts represent both choice and opportunity. We are rapidly reaching the Moment where Humanity as a Whole must Awaken and become Aware of All that is taking place around us, and either claim our Divinity, Power and Freedom or submit to the forces of darkness. The latter is not an option. The Universe will not ultimately allow the forces of darkness to prevail, and therefore, as with numerous previous cycles of Human Consciousness and Evolution, there would be an "intervention", a "purgative event" to "wipe the slate clean" once again. The choice is ours both Personally and Collectively - all Choices are still open. As Human Beings we are Blessed with the Freewill to make Choices, even on this level, but only if Humanity is aware of the existence and Nature of those choices - which many, if not most, are not. That said, Mind and Consciousness is All Powerful. Mere words, guns, governments, banks, money or any other socio-economic or political factor cannot compete, so we must find that balance and the way forward. This Newsletter will continue to Serve you during the pivotal times ahead. If someone has sent you this Newsletter, you may join, at no cost at our website: For those wishing for a higher understanding of the mysteries of Life, my book, Our Ultimate Reality, Life, the Universe and Destiny of Mankind can be of Service:
2 Global Oneness Even a year ago I did not really expect to be commenting on physical world events to the extent that I have felt it necessary to do so recently. But even a year ago, while knowing that Humanity was rapidly approaching a Singularity and Opportunity for a Great Transition to the next Great Level of Human Consciousness, I knew that only Humanity can write the final chapter as a Whole. The choices Humanity is being presented with are manifesting in the physical World around us, as well as Within. Therefore in order to make the right Choices out of Freewill we must first be aware that such even Choices exist, and what they are. Part of this process then is to understand what is taking place in the World generally. This week we have witnessed the events rapidly unfolding in Libya, events that we have seen unfold before in Afghanistan and Iraq. As with Afghanistan and Iraq, the actions by "NATO" and the "western allies" in Libya have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with "humanitarianism" but absolutely everything to do with imperialism for strategic gain of resources and military position. As with Saddam Hussein in Iraq, Colonel Gaddafi was given the "opportunity", really an ultimatum, to cooperate with the US/UK/France under the guise of NATO, in "agreements" over oil reserves and other benefits, or to accept the consequences. As recently as 2009 Gaddafi was photographed shaking hands in an official "head of state" capacity with Barack Obama and Gordon Brown on official state visits. Around that time, Gaddafi entrusted US based Goldman Sachs with $1.3 Billion of Libya investment fund money, most of which Goldman Sachs subsequently lost Whatever deal Gaddafi was offered by the US/UK/NATO was clearly rejected by him, and this week we have seen the consequences of his decision as his country has been invaded and largely destroyed with considerable and ongoing loss of life. Yet even before any sign of stability is emerging, the major oil companies are already squabbling over the oil reserves of Libya, which are by far the largest on the African continent and amongst the largest in the World - which is no coincidence. Although NATO once again claim that their actions are for "humanitarian reasons", the fact is that there are much greater "humanitarian" issues in numerous countries around the world, but the US/UK and NATO "allies" are not interested, simply because they have no natural resources of interest or military strategic position. The USA have been very concerned in recent years by the investment of China in various African countries, presumably due to strategic position in that area of the World, even though the investment and involvement has not been military.
3 In addition to oil, the bank of Libya also has considerable reserves of Gold bullion and billions of Dollars in cash, which the "allies" will now conveniently "manage". It should also be noted that although Gaddafi was a dictator, he was also considered to be benevolent and ensured that the Libyan people enjoyed a good quality of life. According to Amnesty International and other humanitarian organisations who have actually been located in Libya for many years, there was no evidence whatsoever of any form of human rights abuses in Libya to any significant degree, anymore than there were "weapons of mass destruction" ever developed or found in Iraq. These are basically unfounded accusations concocted by the US, UK, France and others to justify a military invasion of Libya for purely strategic and selfish purposes. A similar pattern of events unfolded in Afghanistan commencing 32 years ago. The then Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan - just as the US and allies have more recently invaded Afghanistan, Iraq and now Libya - for strategic purposes. The US provided the resistance, the Mujahideen, with weapons and money to fight the Soviet invasion, ultimately resulting in the Soviet withdrawal from the country. Out of the Mujahideen thencame the "Taliban" who then embarked on a takeover of their country from the "sponsored government" put in place by the US and allies. In early 2001 the Taliban led government declared that opium poppies and their subsequent use for heroin production was against their Muslim religion, and destroyed almost all opium poppy production from 70% of world supply to 10%. Later that year, the infamous "9/11" incident took place very quickly followed by an invasion of Afghanistan by the US and "allies", citing the Taliban, who they had previously financed and armed, as "terrorists", and so began the "war on terror". Today, Afghanistan is once again by far the largest producer of ppium poppies and therefore heroine in the world, under "allied control", and probable management by the CIA and other "military intelligence agencies". Russia has complained to the US that their overt support of the "opium poppy industry" has resulted in a considerable rise in heroin addiction in Russia, which accounted for 2.5 million heroin addicts and 30,000 heroin related deaths in The "allied occupation" of Afghanistan continues as does Iraq for oil. A different approach has been applied in Libya which is about oil and geographic position. In view of the considerable criticism within the USA of the so called "defence budget" against the backdrop of considerable financial instability, and widespread opposition to the military actions on Afghanistan and Iraq, the USA are taking more of a "back
4 seat" in the Libya campaign, leaving overt action to the UK and France. You can be sure however that the US are as involved as ever in a less conspicuous capacity. The so called "rebels" in Libya are actually a whole hotchpotch of, obviously extremely well armed, funded and organised Arab mercenaries, with little or no interest in Libya. These mercenaries are being massively supported by "NATO airstrikes" - which have killed countless innocent people - and various "allied intelligence agencies" on the ground as well as marines and other covert military. NATO claim that this is a "humanitarian mission" yet "carpet bombing" by UK planes as well as general support of the mercenaries has killed countless innocent people. Of course the "TNC" - "allied sponsored democratic government" - is already in place, ready to receive billions of Dollars of their own money, in return for "oil contracts" and a rebuilding of the Libyan infrastructure which will probably be financed by loans from the "IMF", which can never be repaid, secured on Libyan oil and other key assets. Of course Libya will never see the money because, as with Iraq for example, it will go directly to US construction companies such as Halliburton. Will this bring democracy and stability? No - anymore than it has in Afghanistan and Iraq, because, in reality, everything that happened did so against the wishes of the people who live in these countries. The next stage therefore will be an occupation of Libya masquerading as a "NATO peace keeping force". So what does this have to do with the subject of our Newsletter - Global Oneness? Well many things. Almost all conflict in the World at all levels is due to duality, from the most fundamental materialism, to an "us and them" oriented perspective of the World. The "us and them" aspect of duality can manifest at any level, including for example the "class system", religion, cultures, countries, and of course, as is increasingly evident, the desire of the so called "global elite" to control humanity completely. But there is a paradox. The objective of the so called, self-styled "global elite" is a "one world order", which, on the face of it, might seem like a worthy objective if it resulted in true Oneness. This however is not at all their objective which is rather to create a "one world order" under the control of a "one world government" which would actually be a "one world fascist dictatorship" based upon a massively reduced, "manageable" population. Before continuing I would like to make it absolutely clear - they will not succeed. There are many reasons why this "one world order" group will not succeed, but one of the main reasons is that it is their own arrogance and fanaticism prevents them
5 from seeing the true nature of Humanity, including Divine Nature, and above all the True Nature of Source and Oneness of All in Creation. The "one world order" people cannot see beyond their own dark agenda, and cannot see or accept that The Light will always, always prevail over the dark. So the issue is not then whether or not they will succeed - they will not, and cannot - but how much "damage" they can do in the meantime, particularly as they become increasingly desperate as Humanity approaches the end of this cycle. The "European Union" followed by the Euro currency was intended to be the first stage and "proving ground" for the "one world government" ambitions, before extending to other regions of the planet. The European Union and the Euro have both failed however, as will become evident over the next few months, which means that this whole approach has failed. The "EU" and Euro have failed because the idealistic concept of the integration of multiple, very different cultures has failed at the government and financial level. So is "Global Oneness" a "concept" in and of itself that is doomed to fail? No, on the contrary. Global Oneness means literally Global Oneness, a World where every single Human Being on Earth is United in Equality and Oneness, with no individual or group seeking to "lead" or "control" that Oneness in any way. Indeed, the paradox that we are seeing today is that the more a group endeavours to enforce a "one world government" under their own terms and control, the, the more fragmented and separated Humanity becomes at a physical level in reaction to, and rebellion against this Oneness exerts its influence. So how can we achieve, or at least begin to achieve Global Oneness? Well True Global Oneness cannot be achieved through duality. Even the term "global power elite" is dualistic, since ultimately we are One. The "popular media", particularly television, constantly and increasingly reinforces duality at all levels, in the interests of consumerism and control. If we view TV advertising for example, the objective is always to make people feel inferior, "worthless" or deprived/lacking in some way, by constantly suggesting that we need to look younger, more attractive, healthier etc, or that we need the latest gadget to "keep up" or to convey a more affluent image to those around us. Ultimately this has two main objectives. The first is to actually make people feel inferior and therefore in need of "leadership" and the second is to constantly fuel the consumerism required by encouraging
6 people to make use of increasingly more debt, often through credit cards, which keeps the debt "pyramid scheme" going a bit longer, to gain control over the consumer though debt. This strategy is even applied to whole countries by causing a country, for example Greece, to become heavily in debt, accept "emergency loans" from the IMF, later required to hand over assets when the debt cannot be repaid. The ultimate objective of the "global elite" is not to amass huge fortunes as such, but ultimately to cause people, countries and regions to become so in debt, that they have no choice but to hand over control and freedom as collateral for that debt. Now all this is only possible because humanity at all levels agrees to "subscribe" to a "reality" based upon materialism, money and debt, and a perceived need to be governed by "leaders", thus avoiding the need to make decisions for themselves. In other words, the majority of Humanity has self-abrogated Divine Freewill and Power, instead conveying all self-determination and control to a very few people who wish to abuse it, notably the "global power elite" and religions who "work" together. Governments that were elected by the public as public servants have become "leaders", given unlimited power by the public who willingly accepts them as "trusted leaders", even as they at the same time take the country to war in order only to invade, occupy and loot other countries, always under selfish false pretences. Now, much more could be said about this situation both in general and more specific terms, but we must move beyond pointing the finger of blame and self-pity, instead to face the Truth, which is this: No group of Humanity, including the so called "global power elite" would have gained and abused any form of power or control over Humanity or group of people, without the mutual consent and conscious support of the Majority. In other words we must all take responsibility for the way in which we make use of our own Divine Freewill and Power, both Personally and Collectively. If the majority of Humanity, either within the context of a country or the plant Earth decided "not to recognise" the validity of the so called "global power elite" then they would have no power over anyone whatsoever, and would not even exist as such. The "global power elite" simply cannot exist therefore at all without the consensus agreement, cooperation and given power of Humanity as a whole. So what then is the solution? Well last week we discussed "The Consciousness Revolution" - this must be the beginning. The majority of people on Earth must awaken at every level. The next stage in this process is the Realisation of the Oneness of All. In other words, the end of a duality based perspective of Life and Experience.
7 Let us look once again, for reference, at the broad definition of Enlightenment: Freedom from anger/hate Freedom from desire/greed Freedom from delusion Now while we are not saying that everyone must become Enlightened that Humanity can move forward and regain its own destiny, it is crucial to see beyond duality in order to progress towards a World of Peace, Harmony and Oneness, a World of Sharing, a World of Service to Others Before Self - the Only True, Enduring Basis. Human Consciousness, as with Consciousness of all Life-Forms, shares a Collective Awareness upon the Mental Plane of the Human Mind, as well as With Source Consciousness, and therefore all forms of Life as a Whole. Once a critical mass of Humanity Awakens sees beyond the Illusion of Duality, Humanity as a Whole must and will follow. At this critical mass is attained, all duality based Mind and Consciousness will give way to a New, Higher level of Mind and Consciousness in Which the present forms of control exerted over Humanity as a Whole can no longer exert its influence, and a new Cycle of Consciousness based upon Freedom, Service and Love will emerge. We simply cannot know, from our Earthly perspective, when this Moment will be reached. The Awakening of just one person can be the catalyst for Transition. This is why we should never slow in our efforts to Awaken Humanity. The "stakes" today have never been higher in the last 5100 years as the current global events which we share and are an integral aspect of All Humanity converge towards a Singularity. And So It Is. Until next Sunday, I wish you a most Joyful, Healthy, Abundant week. Brought to You In Divine Love, Light and Service, Adrian.
