Quotations of the Week
There are unknown forces within Nature; when we give ourselves wholly to her,
without reserve, she leads them to us; she shows us those forms which our
watching eyes do not see, which our intelligence does not understand or suspect.
- Auguste Rodin

Evolving with EarthDance & the Butterfly
Author of Conscious Evolution Barbara Marx Hubbard reckons that creative
people all over the planet are like imaginal cells of the caterpillar. Only by
linking up and forming networks do they make the quantum leap to transformation.
"The breakdown of the caterpillars old system is essential for the
breakthrough of the new butterfly...When the butterfly emerges, it doesn't deny the
caterpillar - it is the caterpillar evolved." We gratefully acknowledge the Earth's
new electronic nervous system, which allows us to grapple with the global
scope of our problems. Even more encouraging are the social networks of people
beginning to realize the potential of our collective consciousness.
EarthDance is one global network making the most of these new evolutionary
capabilities. Chris Deckker started EarthDance in 1996 with a straightforward
mission. Bring people together to dancer and celebrate for peace, Synchronize
these events all over the world. And invite indigenous elders from all cultures
to tell their stories.

Thu Sep 27 7:30 pm Save the Callippe Silverspot on San Bruno -
Brisbane
Brisbane needs Bay Area help in saving the Callippe Silverspot Butterfly,
recently added to the endangered species list.
The Brisbane Planning Commission is supposed to vote TONIGHT on accepting a
cursory addendum to a twenty year old, seriously flawed EIR by Thomas Reid and
Associates which got us the original Habitat Conservation Plan (that is now
wrecking so much havoc around the country), rather than order a NEW
Environmental Impact Report, in order to push through 71 ADDITIONAL (previously
unapproved) single family houses right smack in the middle of the most sensitive
Callippe habitat!
Please urge butterfly lovers to come, en masse, to the meeting.

Avenue between Monterey & Mariposa, Brisbane

underlying, unconscious patterns of stress that create imbalance, disharmony and
illness. The principles of intention, tuning-in, motive and the philosophy of
Afference and Efference are presented in a way that you can apply them to
your relationships and daily life. Understanding the dynamic of afference and
efference gives one a simple yet profound perspective on life, healing,
personality and the negative dynamics experienced personally and globally. The class is
50% lecture/discussion and 50% hands-on practice.
LOCATION: Marin or Sonoma County - based on greatest interest.

Sun. Oct 7 11am-12:30pm Beach Impeach #4 w. Cindy Sheehan - Berkeley
Cindy Sheehan has confirmed her attendance at this event. It will be her
first public appearance since she announced her candidacy for the House of
Representatives seat currently held by Nancy Pelosi. There will be no amplified
sound, therefore, as was the case at the first three Beach Impeach events, there
will be no speakers. Cindy has said she will wander among the crowd and greet as
many people as she can.
Early in the morning, organizers will outline the message “IMPEACH!” on the
park’s grass, with ropes and string, in lettering 120 feet tall (all lettering
at past Beach Impeach events has been 100 feet tall). The message will
stretch approx 500 feet across the park. By 11 a.m., approximately 1,500
participants will arrive. Each should take an instructional flyer from one of the
organizers, read it, and then choose a place to lie down inside the lettering.
At 12 pmsharp, photographers in at least two helicopters will arrive and
capture images of the gathering, with the San Francisco skyline and the Bay’s
bridges in the background (if fog situation allows). Within hours these photos
will go worldwide.
