2007 State of the Universe Address

Swami Beyondananda’s 2007 State of the Universe Address

"Note. This year, the Swami insisted on delivering the State of the Universe Address on February 2nd, Ground Hog Day because “it’s the closest anyone comes to seeing their shadow all year.” Said the Swami, “Look at us. America is the most heavily armed country in the world, and still we’re afraid of our own shadow. We seem stuck in a state of emergency, so we must declare a state of ‘emerge ‘n see’ instead. Like the ground hog, we must emerge from our separate little holes and see we are all in this together. And we must see our shadow -- otherwise, we’re in for another long season of darkness."

Swami's Wisdom Re: Political Changes: An evolutionary upwising is gathering esteem all across America, and not a moment too soon. Confidence in the powers that be in power hit Iraq bottom last year....... the unarmed forces won an important victory in November. As predicted, the evolution was officially launched when the first big shot was fired the day after election day. And the farce was with us as well. The last two Republican Senators to concede defeat were Burns and Allen, and more than a few corrupt Congressfolk were shown the door and told to “say goodnight, disgracie.”

Swami's Wisdom Re: Dwelling in Peace and Abundance: Our cells may be smarter than we are. At least they’ve figured out how to live together in peace and harmony. According to cellular biologist Bruce Lipton, we have a thriving 50 trillion cell community under our skin where every participating cell is cared for. Universal health care, full employment -- truly no cell left behind....

Swami's Wisdom and Warning Re: Global Warming: If you thought “The Man Without a Country” was a sad story, wait until you see “Man Without a Planet.” Maybe we should start with One Suggestion: “We’re all in it together.” And perhaps instead of waiting for some Higher Power -- or for that matter, some hired power -- to save us, maybe it’s time to embrace the world as a fixer-upper instead of rejecting it as a tearer-downer.

Swami is a man of conviction who has thought deeply about the State of Our Universe. Shall we heed his words of (sometimes schmaltzy) wisdom? Or shall we continue on our present course, and in the words of the Great Swami continue to "flunk third dimension." Total extinction of all life forms on this little blue sphere of the universe, that would be the evidence that we flunked, but we wouldn't be around to feel bad about failing. Maybe that is some small consolation to contemplate in our final hours before the Doomsday Clock strikes 12. How about a game of Stop the Clock? Go here to get started:
