The uprising of the Tibetan people should signal the rising up of conscience in the Net reality of our all-connected world on the threshold of a New Enlightenment.

Pray that Chinese leaders will seize the opportunity to demonstrate self-evident good will leadership to everyone on Earth – NOW -- before the Olympic "Good Will Games". They have shown the whole world that they are indeed an economic powerhouse. What an inspiration they will be for the whole world when they exemplify good sportsmanship with good Statesmanship -- a good will powerhouse that is now willing to wake up, wise up, rise up and stand up for the FREEDOM OF THE TIBETAN PEOPLE.

If the Chinese want to win the hearts and minds of the Family of Man in our global village, that’s how they’ll do it!

Tibetan Buddhism has a very high and holy spiritual tradition. Those who have really studied the most peaceful, contemplative, and non-violent of the major world religions will agree that Tibetan Buddhism is the archetype.

Most Christians don’t know that Jesus wasn’t lost all those “lost years” between his 12th year and the fulfillment of his mission at Age 33. Few are aware of the well-documented ancient records in Lhasa Tibet which proves that Jesus studied there and was revered as one of the "Buddha's" (enlightened ones), whose “budding” (Buddhic) attainment was self-evident to these spiritual adepts.

Many have now read of the Tibetan uprising this last week. The mainstream media has been slow to report what was going on even though Internet café’s in India and Tibet were immediately posting photos of violent suppression of demonstrations within Lhasa. Other netizens in India likewise reported oppressive measures against marches by exiled Tibetan monks going back to the Tibetan capital Lhasa, and

"Whether intentionally or unintentionally, some kind of cultural genocide is taking place," the Dalai Lama said, referring to an influx of Chinese migration into Tibetan areas and restrictions on Buddhist practices - policies that have generated deep resentment among Tibetans.

China has tried to wrest spiritual control from Dalai Lama loyalists by naming its own politically-correct guru after the Dalai Lama's choice for a spiritual leader went missing. Beijing has denied placing him under house arrest.

This is the stark level of terrorism that the Tibetan people live under. To understand the state of consciousness behind such policies, consider that the Chinese government issued an order in August that any so-called living Buddha who tries to reincarnate "without government approval" is illegal and invalid.

DUH! Are we to assume by these actions that the Chinese government truly wants peace, yet think they can seize the moral high ground in the world’s eyes by occupying the high Himalayan location of Tibetan Buddhism with pseudo-spiritual puppets?

"All these games are not going to help them in the long run," one Dali Lama spokesperson said. "China is not able to win over the hearts and minds of the Tibetan people."

But they could. If the Chinese government wants to make a good will gesture to the entire world community before the Good Will Games, why don’t they use a little COMMON SENSE and let that unprofitable remote kingdom rule themselves with whatever leaders they want? There’s nothing there worth taking – like oil – to earn the whole world’s contempt.

The whole world knows that they will only win hearts and minds with good will. How else could China better showcase the Olympics then by demonstrating good sportsmanship with good Statesmanship? One of the superpowers will have to rise up and do it if they want to lead the way to global win/win in the New World Game. Will world history show that China led the way?

The Chinese government is not saving face by acting like the British Empire did in Gandhi’s India or the U.S. Empire in the Middle East. They are losing the currency of good will in the world – the currency of conscience that ultimately underwrites the global economy. If they want respect as an enlightened world leader, they should DO what the poor in spirit are not able or willing to do… THE GOOD WILL THING!

Imagine the U.S. power elite saying that great spirits have no right incarnating as public leaders, and that only their puppet leaders are allowed to rule. Ooops! That sounds like the U.S. Election Circus, doesn’t it?

Actually, there’s nothing like the core “Bread and Circus issue” (global economy and global Olympics), to awaken our attention on the great need for global economic prosperity through the currency of good will.

Pray that Chinese leaders will seize the extraordinary opportunity... to demonstrate self-evident good will leadership to everyone on Earth – NOW -- before the Olympics. They have already shown the whole world that they are indeed an economic powerhouse.

What an inspiration the Chinese will be to the whole world when
they exemplify good sportsmanship with good Statesmanship
that is now willing to wake up, wise up, rise up and stand up
for the FREEDOM OF THE TIBETAN PEOPLE.

If the Chinese want to win the hearts and minds of the Family of Man in our global village, that’s how they’ll do it!

What has been done to the Tibetan people the last 50 years, since the brutal Chinese cultural devastation and genocide of a million Tibetans, is unconscionable. But that’s like saying that the take-over of the U.S. mainstream media by militarized corporate government the last 50 years is unconscionable.

Only people with a conscience are bothered by the oppression of the Tibetan people. Only media with a conscience would report it. We can’t expect solutions from the same conscience-challenged corporatism that puts a higher premium on oppressive policies than genuine freedom... at home or abroad.

The most difficult thing in the world, especially for worldly Westerners, is to remain non-attached to worldly things… like Walmart products from China. As Buddhism teaches, worldly attachments lead to a sense of separation from spiritual BEING… and that this is the cause of all suffering.

Since consumerism has become the dominant form of worth-ship in America, there has been a lot of suffering caused by those who capitalize on militaristic corporate power at the expense of core Constitutional freedoms. Western governments are attached at the hip to Chinese slave labor of the same corporate variety that makes a killing on terror war... sacrificing freedoms for security until we have neither.

That plot out of hell is self-destructive -- not sustainable. When economies make merchandise out of people, conscience naturally suffers. Commerce without conscience is a sin, as Gandhi said. It creates the sinner/saint dance of intertwined Capitalist and Communist ideologies that try to save face -- the ugly face of profits-before-people corporatism -- while both parties hide behind masks of diplomatic propriety.

This “suffering sinner/saint syndrome” (conscience-challenged ego-strutting), is a huge problem both East and West. It reflects the level of consciousness we saw in those who responded to the economic downturn following 9-11 by telling us, “Go out and buy something”. A current example would be the economic stimulus package that kicks-back a little rebate to taxpayers, telling them to “Go out and buy something”.

Are we bought so easily? What contempt for conscience! That level of consciousness is the cause of ALL global economic problems. Good will naturally makes those problems obsolete. Or at least checks and balances bankrupt policies with the moral high ground.

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible
will make violent revolution inevitable.”
- John F. Kennedy

Do the Chinese want to show REAL power with GOOD WILL? If they want their people to build on their material gains with the currency of conscience that cultures the abundant life, are they willing to lead the way with the good will that makes it so?

The uprising of the Tibetan people should signal the rising up of conscience

in the Net reality of an all-connected global village waiting to be awakened.

Spring Solstice is the time of the year for awakening. All of Nature is coming alive. Seeds are being planted.
The archetype for spiritual awakening is germinating in our collective conscience.
The cultural DNA that spiritualizes our Net reality
will soon take root.

Ah, the arrogance of Spring -- the primal power of Nature!
Truly nature knows best with a love of holy creation
in every seed, archetypal thoughtform and
the cultural DNA that represents
enlightened conscience
empowered by
LOVE;
the capstone
vision of all-connected
We the People common cause
will naturally see the fruit of Higher Power
in the vow for a New Enlightenment of conscience
that will most likely insure an optimal worldwide up rising.
