Speak Up, America!

You have the courage and it will grow in you when you use it. You must use it to change yourself, your family, community, nation and the world. You are challenged by internal fear cast upon you by the false external powers that threaten you. These powers are self serving and intimidate those that get in their way or do away with them.

What happened to your voice? What happened to your thoughts? The right to express your thoughts was guaranteed to you, yet you hold back your words. Many of you are waiting for safety before you speak up, however, if you don't speak up, you will not find safety. Your single voice multiplied by many others can create the world you want and need to live the life of truth, wisdom and compassion.

Speak up and change yourself. Make good choices or continue to watch your life go by and feel helpless and controlled by false powers. Each one who speaks up encourages another to do the same. Speaking up gives you real power which grows in you, the community, the nation and the world. It starts with each of you and then spreads and eventually to most of you and finally to all.

Living in fear promotes thought and thought can stimulate the challenge of courage which then presents a choice for you to make. Stay where you are or risk going forward and grow your inner power. Delay facing this challenge and you will weaken yourself. Face this challenge and you will feel the joy of growth. Only you can make this correct choice. Summon your courage, strength, determination and make the commitment to make a responsible choice for yourself and humanity!

SPEAK UP AMERICA!

Changing Fear Into Love
by Dr. Walter J. Urban

Franklin Roosevelt said “there is nothing to fear but fear itself.” I think this is only half right. Yes there is nothing to fear. We don’t have to fear , fear itself.

What causes fear, what is behind fear? It is a sense of powerlessness. When we investigates why there is fear the is always a situation in which one feels there is nothing that one can do.

I recently gave a lecture at a gathering of intentional community leaders and asked how many had fears. I was surprised that almost everyone raised their hands. Fears originate from the past, present or thinking about the future. They are internally or externally caused.

When we are children we may develop fears due to forces that we cannot control and these forces of various kinds may continue in one’s adolescent and adult life. Fears may also be buried deeply in our personality and not show up under ordinary conditions. These unconscious fears need more work to be discovered. One’s conscious fears may be easier to work with. When one is raised with love, self worth and self esteem the foundation is much stronger and one is less likely to develop inner fears of worry, self doubt, a sense of inadequacy or a feeling of being unlovable.

The first step is to own the fear rather than deny it. Bringing the fear out into the open and clearly understanding it and then investigating its history and origin. Many fears are made stronger by repetition thus require more work to get rid of them. Fears that come from an external threat are more easily understood than internal fears. Losing a job or a mate may be the trigger mechanism to a reality fear of being homeless and without food. At the same time this may trigger an internal fear of being lonely, isolated and unworthy. Thus some fears are double edged, external and internal.

Each person being a unique individual has his own perceptions of the same situation as well as his own individual reactions that are influenced by his life history.

The ultimate fear for many is the fear of death. So far we all must die. Some believe that our spirit lives forever and that the energy returns to another form or its original form. If we come to terms with death, the death of our bodies, before we actually die we can eliminate this fear. Everyone handles this differently.

Changing fear into love depends on our beliefs. Our personal place in our community and in the global situation differs greatly. A Haitian eating mud pies sees the world very differently than the CEO of Intel or Goldman Sachs. A Nigerian oil worker, an Isreali soldier, an Indian farmer, etc. all may have very different psychological makeup and beliefs and live in very different environments. They all have one thing in common, the survival instinct unless they are a devout suicide bomber with a special set of beliefs. The desire to live has created various types of adaptation. When one examines what can be done about their current fearful situation and realizes there are always solutions of some sort.

Changing one’s belief system is a big job for most people and one is frequently not aware of one’s belief until they are made conscious. Doing this takes investigative work and often requires help. When all beliefs are conscious and fully understood with their origins and history, they can be critically evaluated. After that choices can be made as to which beliefs are of current value, which can be modified and which can be eliminated. Revising one’s beliefs can be a great influence for the process of change. Such modification allow for entrance of new beliefs which in turn can influence thoughts, emotions and actions. These new beliefs based on new information allows for more responsible choices so that feelings of powerlessness and threats can be reduced and even overcome. Understanding that old internal threats may have been based on childhood fears allows the use of a more logical adult perception and reaction to a situation. For example a powerless child facing an angry parent can now be perceived quite differently and the old fear can be eliminated. Adult understanding of the limited parent’s emotions can lead to more patience. Then from patience to self discipline, then to growth, then to freedom, then to forgiveness, then to the freedom to love and the joy of loving. Love is something that is felt and given. A bell only works when you ring it. So this may serve as one example of changing fear into love.

External fears are quite different. There are many ways to look at or react to external fears. Taoism explains that everything is part of the Great Way. Costa Ricans have a saying, “pura vida” which means pure life and also say that whatever happens is “part of life.” For most its not so simple when you face death. We all face death so far.

The first chakra, color red, located at the base of the spine located between the anus and genitals, has the instinct of survival as manifested in life itself with food, shelter and the ability to provide for oneself. Some negative aspects of the first chakra have been considered to be hoarding, mindless violence, predatory behavior and chronic fatigue.

A direct threat to one’s life is the greatest danger one faces. This threat produces a fear response. There are many types of secondary threats such as fear of loss of one’s home, job, money, loved ones, etc. Practically all threats provoke psychological, emotional and physical reactions.

The threat or external situation is a reality. The question now becomes, how does one react to it. If you are in charge of your reactions and able to choose how to react you may be able to perceive the threat, even of death, in a different way. For most people this is easier said then done. If we consider death the greatest possible threat, other than torture, for most people, one’s beliefs about death will affect the reaction thus creating fear or no fear. Of course, this is easier to understand in theory rather than practice. However with much reinforcement of a fearless belief system, fear can eventually be eliminated. The Samuri had a saying, “this is a good day to die.”

The force that is life threatening may come from humans or from nature, a war, a murderer or a tidal wave or from 911 or the gulf oil disaster. Human made death is surely a sad and horrible state of affairs. Those humans who have inflicted death or slow death through pollution, contamination, and disease creation are part of the world we live in. “Turn the other cheek” was advise given. Learn forgiveness. Once again easier said than done. How can we turn fear into love? Can we ever do it? Can we control what seems to be automatic psychological, emotional and physical reactions? This is an individual matter. Can understanding lead to forgiveness? Can one free oneself from one’s reactions?

We face many external threats as we face the global situation and here in the United States with its unemployment, foreclosures and many other situations. How do we react to these threats? With fear or calm thinking and a belief system that allows us to get enough perspective to understand the greater picture of the future. What was hidden before to most of us becomes clearly in the open so it can be cleansed. It all depends on what you believe and how you react. Do you have spiritual awareness?

Do you understand or believe that all is vibrations of light energy that transforms rather than dies?

If this has made you think a bit or even motivated to study, I am delighted!

My mantra is I am light, energy, peaceful, love and grateful.

Take Back America, Take Back Your Life

Who owns you? Are you able to think for yourself or are you so conditioned by the media, corporations, your religion, the government and everything else that has control over your mind? Isn't it time to wake up and increase your consciousness? Are you so caught up in how you think and what you do everyday, that you no longer know who you are? Do you keep doing and running so much that there is no time left to observe yourself, think for yourself and understand what has happened and is happening to your life?
Are you programmed to think the way you do and continue living the life you have now? What has happened to the United States in the last 25 or 50 years? What has happened to morality, ethics, values and personal integrity? Are you happy with where the nation is and where it is going? Are you in control of your life or is it controlled by the powers that own you.
Are you happy and satisfied with what's going on? Do you feel helpless? Do you feel hopeless? Is there anything you would like to see change in our country? Do you have a vision and are you willing to work toward it or are you afraid to have one? Is the fear so great that you no longer feel free in the "land of the free"?
Start thinking with clarity, truth and wisdom. Perhaps you can change yourself enough to start changing the United States. TAKE BACK AMERICA! Dr. Walter J. Urban

PLEASE PASS THIS MESSAGE to as many as you can, thanks.

If You Don't Wake Up Now, You Will Die Prematurly
by Dr. Walter J. Urban

Millions of Americans die prematurely of degenerative diseases, heart attacks, strokes and cancer. The statistics are there to prove it, however, little attention is paid to them because most people have become rigid in their thoughts and attitudes. Even if they are willing to listen to helpful information, they soon disregard it and go on their usual way.
When people ingest toxins and other harmful substances they are surely going to suffer the consequences. However, even though they know this, they continue to harm themselves. What is it in their thinking and psychological makeup that allows them to be addicted to self destructive behavior? Do they love their food and other addictions more than their own lives? Is the denial mechanism so strong that they cannot act rationally?

After many years of conditioning to negative habits it is not easy to make changes. Most people have great difficulty when they try to change their eating habits becasue they enjoy certain tastes. For example, trying to eat food withour salt is a change that people find hard to do. Many people do not know what unsalted food tastes like. They have grown up with salt and sugar and find foods tasteless without them.

So what is the solution to this self destructive problem? When the advertising media bombards the world with its products, how can people learn to make healthier choices?

Medical technology is more advanced than it ever has been. Pharmaceutical products have reached an all time high. Biotechnology has made incredible advances such as cloning, transplants and artificial body parts. Billions of dollars are spent on research to cure cancer. The vitamin industry has grown enormously. Despite all this, as well as other scientific advances, cancer is on the rise and childhood cancer and diabetes now exist. Cardiovascular diseases are still the number one killers.

Doesn't all this make you question or at least make you think about saving your own life and the lives of your family? Why wait for a a triple bypass, a stroke, radiation, chemotherapy or surgery? Why not wake up now and learn how to live a healthier lifestyle? You can start by eating certified organically grown foods. In addition you can start a self education program and read DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO CHANGE by Dr.Walter J. Urban and THE CURE IS IN THE CAUSE by Dr. Ruza Bogdonovich and check the website www.rawfoodchef.com. When will you make the decision and commitment to change?
