"Few People get there quick by their chosen road/they don't know, it's quicker to go/ by natural velocity." -- Donovan Leitch Sr. Natural Velocity is an easy flow when circumstances and resources are aligned so as to produce a positive result. Natural Velocity is connected to astrological timing. What was once natural and easy might not be in a new decade or century. Something new or a different combination may be required to achieve Natural Velocity in your time. -- Me "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world: and that is an idea whose time has come." -- Victor Hugo It used to be that you needed a herd of horses to achieve Natural Velocity. And later, it took a fleet of ships. Still later, jets. Yet a thread that runs through all of these methods helping us to reach our positive goals is good health -- spiritually, mentally, psychologically, physically, in relationships, economically, and ecologically. Force vs. power: Power works. It's based on constructive service, synergy and cooperation and produces beneficial results. Force begets more force, it's uncomfortable, it's usually very expensive, and it produces complicated and detrimental results. -- Me again. (Probably not a very new idea, either.) Win-Win situations: Yes, there is a way for all participants to win. It almost always means not being at the effect of history and instead creating something outside the box of our limited thinking and memories of loss or force. -- I learned this in Hawaii. It was all over the place. "Tasers should not have been invented in the first place. They are a symptom of a civilization unable to contain its anger at the overpopulation it has caused, held in place by planned artificial economic striation." -- my guide. "Indeed, the purification of memory, the pardoning of wrongdoers, the forgetting of injustices suffered and the loving restoration to serenity of troubled hearts ... can require moving beyond personal positions or viewpoints, born of painful or difficult experiences" -- Pope Benedict XVI "Peace, be still, and know that I am God." -- You Know Who "Peace is not the product of terror or fear. Peace is not the silence of cemeteries. Peace is not the silent result of violent repression. Peace is the generous, tranquil contribution of all to the good of all. Peace is dynamism. It is generosity. It is right and it is duty. In the days and the months to come...we should all help water the tree of peace... It is our responsibility and duty." -- Archbishop Oscar Romero. What are trimtabs, fulcrums, leverage? A trim tab is a tiny flap that controls the rudder on a ship or airplane. When the rudder needs to be moved, this tiny trimtab is adjusted, creating a low pressure area on one side, and turns the rudder. Buckminster Fuller used the word to illustrate what an individual can do to turn the great ship of human society. Bucky’s gravestone says simply, “Call me Trimtab.” Leverage is the ability to get tremendous results from small efforts. Why struggle doing all the little details when you can automate them and never have to deal with them again? Why do all the work yourself when you can get others to do the work for you? When you learn how to leverage your efforts, prosperity becomes easy! How do you create leverage? With a fulcrum point. A fulcrum point is the balance point that allows you to move something big with very little energy. For instance, a fulcrum point in Global Warming (which might be cooler in 2008 as mapped by certain midpoints in the Universal Chart) is reducing our dependence on oil by perfecting solar energy. This is exactly what is being done, right now as we speak! Buckminster Fuller: http://www.buckminster.info/Index/S/Start-Stq.htm

This is the Peace List. I channeled it August 10, 2008 with the kind help of The Christ, as well as a number of guides, buddhas and ascended masters who worked on it with me all night while my body was asleep. Please feel free to share it with others. To achieve peace: 1 -- forgive the past, begin anew, acknowledge the good you have all done so far, and work together. 2 -- focus on similarities. 3 -- don't be ashamed to ask for help if you need it. 4 -- find a way to add value rather than simply receiving it. 5 -- prioritize: simplify and purify (innocence is the quickest way to peace). 6 -- be constructive rather than destructive. 7 -- protect human and animal rights: give up being and creating victims and instead, reduce suffering. 8 -- allow everyone to have a decent life. 9 -- stay healthy and help others to be healthy, too. 10 -- be ecologically and scientifically wise. 11 -- don’t use weapons. 12 -- gather in a safe place with people who are safe for you to be with. 13 -- communicate clearly, listen and understand. 14 -- promote good education. 15-- create fair exchanges and agreements. 16 -- keep your word. if you can't, make a new one and keep that. 17 -- create effective, complete infrastructures and plans. 18 -- keep your leaders decent. 19 -- protect the free press. 20 -- provide and care for children, the poor, and the elderly. 21 -- remember and remind one another that we all come from God, and that love will find a way. If something isn’t peaceful yet, there’s just something missing on the Peace List. Simply presence what’s been missing and peace will happen by Natural Velocity.
