This just in from our good friend and mentor, Paul Carlson (www.OnenessBlessing-DFW.com)

Hope…

The Obama Administration has asked the “Evolutionary Leaders” to communicate about what is transpiring on the planet, and how we can change the course of the unprecedented events that are challenging this planet. This is a window of opportunity that must be taken! A deadline was given for this information to be conveyed to the Obama Administration.

The Evolutionary Leaders like Deepak Chopra, Gregg Braden, Michael Beckwith and many, many others, gathered together to write up the information to present to the Obama Administration. They are also asking us to sign a petition to show the Administration how many people are in favor for these changes to occur. They need 100,000 signatures. We need your help to reach that number and beyond! Below is the information presented to the New Administration.

By the Evolutionary Leaders

The human family is in the midst of the most significant transformation of consciousness since its emergence in Africa over one hundred thousand years ago. Consciousness has been evolving for billions of years from the first cell to us. We are becoming aware that through our own consciousness the universe can know itself. This awareness reveals incredible new potential for our individual and collective humanity.

Simultaneously, we are the first species on this Earth aware that we can destroy ourselves by our own action. This may be the greatest wake-up call to the evolution of consciousness since the origin of Homo Sapiens. We now realize that we are affecting our own evolution by everything we do. This knowledge awakens in us the aspiration to become more conscious through subjective practices including meditation, reflection, prayer, intuition, creativity, and conscious choice making that accelerate our evolution in the direction of unity consciousness and inspire us to deeply align our collective vision.

THE CHALLENGE

At this juncture in human history, urgent global crises challenge us to learn to live sustainably, in harmony and gratitude with one another and with the living universe. The changes required of humanity are broad, deep, and far reaching. Only by acting swiftly and creatively can we birth a planetary culture that will bring well-being to every form of life in the Earth community. The good news is that a compelling new story of our potential as a whole human species is emerging–a story of collaboration, citizen action, dialogue and new understandings propelled by unprecedented levels of democratic freedom, multicultural exchange, and access to communication technologies. It is nothing less than the story of our collective evolution.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION

We recognize that the inner and outer aspects of life evolve together. A dramatic awakening in consciousness will involve an equally dramatic shift in outward aspects of our lives. In particular, we see the following as vital opportunities for our conscious evolution, both personally and collectively:

Cultivating a Paradigm of Aliveness: We regard the universe as deeply alive and conscious by nature. In a living universe, our sense of subtle connection and participation with life around us is the basis for a compassionate and cooperative approach to living.

Educating for an Evolving Consciousness: Awakening consciousness is the foundation for all the change we seek to see in the world. We can work to elevate our capacity for conscious reflection and creative action in our personal lives as well as our collective lives as communities. We must support research and educational strategies that optimize human capacities and explore the nature of consciousness.

Restoring Ecological Balance: The balance of planetary ecosystems is fundamental to our survival. We must reverse the pollution of our global commons-the water, air and soil that nourish all life. We must encourage the proliferation of clean, renewable energy sources and expend all necessary resources toward mitigating the effects of climate change.

Encouraging Conscious Media: We must find innovative ways to use the new electronic media as the mirror of our positive evolutionary story, investing in their capacity to reach across differences of generation, culture, religion, wealth and gender to build a working consensus about our collective future.

Engaging in Social and Political Transformation: More sustainable ways of living will require the support of a more conscious democracy and vibrant civil society from which more enlightened leaders will emerge. All individuals should be encouraged to use their gifts to create participatory, responsible and compassionate models of governance.

Working for Integrity in Commerce: Conscious businesses that are aware of the scope, depth, and long-range impacts of their actions are key to achieving sustainability. Business must become an ethical steward of the Earth’s ecology and consciously establish an economic basis for a future of equitably shared abundance.

Promoting Health and Healing: The science of mind-body-spirit health has demonstrated the profound connection between the health of a whole person and the health of the system in which he or she lives. Whole systems healing, respecting both traditional knowledge and modern sciences, must be supported in physical, social, and spiritual domains.

Building Global Community: The new story is about all of us who share this planet. Together, we can create a culture of peace that eliminates the need for armed conflict, respecting and appreciating the glorious diversity of our human family.

The world is your mirror.

The good you find in others, is in you too.

The faults you find in others, are your faults as well.

After all, to recognize something you must know it.

The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well.

The beauty you see around you, is your beauty.

The world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing you the person you are.

To change your world, you must change yourself.

To blame and complain will only make matters worse.

Whatever you care about, is your responsibility.

What you see in others, shows you yourself.

See the best in others, and you will be your best.

Give to others, and you give to yourself.

Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.

Admire creativity, and you will be creative.

Love, and you will be loved.

Seek to understand, and you will be understood.

Listen, and your voice will be heard.

Teach, and you will learn.

MindMaster is a really cool subliminal tool that we use to achieve our goals. I’m also on their mailing list, which is where I got this very inspirational message.

When you are feeling challenged and annoyed by another person, stop, take a deep breath and ask yourself where you see this same behavior in your own life.

We’re looking forward to a very exciting year this year. We are launching several new sites and hope you will be a part of it with us!

These new sites round out our business so that it truly represents our life goals and passions. We are multifaceted and decided that our business needs to reflect who we are at a core level.

Our overall goal is to touch 10 Million lives every month, in a healthy and postitive way.

Here’s a sneak peek at what we’ve got lined up this year:

New Dan and Jennifer Sites: (you’ll notice links to all of these at the top of each site)

Love & Sex Answers!

We’re completely re-designing the AskDanAndJennifer forums to make them more interactive and easier to use.

Ask Dan and Jennifer TV

We really love YouTube, but it’s time to stop sending ALL of our video traffic there… We’re launching a new on-site video library that will allow our visitors to watch videos without leaving the site.

Today Is That Day (click here for the actual test site with the new loook an feel)

Personal Evolution (got that term from our good friend Marc Harty :-) ) has always been a passion of ours and we want to share our experiences as well as provide a community for other to learn, grow, and evolve.

Help Doggies Foundation

Let’s face it, they call dog’s “man’s best friend”, but man has been a pretty lousy best friend to doggies. We want to change that!

Our Personal Blog

The intense irony here is that we’ve worked really hard to make AskDanAndJennifer.com much more than a blog. Mission Accomplished. But we lost the room to rant when we did that, so we’ve come full circle and started this blog where there are no rules, no limits, no ‘niches’, just pure Dan and Jennifer!

We hope you’ll join us this year as we do our very best to live our lives with passion and purpose and encourage you to do the same.

I was reading “The Answer” just the other day and came across some very profound wisdom.

“How will you spend you life?”

When you think about the expression ’spend your life’, you’ll come to a sobering realization: Your life is something that you actually do ’spend’ every day, just as surely as if you were pulling out your wallet and peeling off the hours like dollar bills as payment for each day’s experiences and memories.

Every day, you are trading away the moments of your life for what ever it is that you are creating and experiencing during those moments. What do you want to trade your life for? What is worth that trade?
