NEWS OF THE WEEK
1. WHO'S YOUR FARMER?
My news pick for the week is this great article on shifting our
relationship to fresh local food and to the wonderful farmers who
are so committed to making this shift: No
Bar Code: An evangelical Virginia farmer says a revolution
against industrial agriculture is just down the road, by
Michael Pollan, Mother Jones, May/June 2006. Excerpts: "All
of the meat and eggs that Polyface produces is eaten within a few
dozen miles or, at the most, half a day’s drive of the farm—within
the farm’s 'foodshed.' [...] In Joel’s view, the reformation of
our food economy begins with people going to the trouble and expense
of buying directly from farmers they know—'relationship marketing,'
the approach he urges in his recent book, Holy Cows and Hog Heaven:
The Food Buyer’s Guide to Farm Friendly Food. [...] “Don’t you find
it odd that people will put more work into choosing their mechanic
or house contractor than they will into choosing the person who
grows their food?” "

2. WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TAPEWORM?
Understanding the powers that be and our unwitting complicity in
their agenda is crucial to understanding how to manage risk as we
shift our world into the positive. Friend and colleague Paul Levy
has done a fabulous job mapping this out in his new book which I
highly recommend, The
Madness of George W. Bush: A Reflection of Our Collective Psychosis
(AuthorHouse, 2006) "In this ground-breaking work, Paul
Levy explores whether the madness that George W. Bush has fallen
into is showing us something particularly important about ourselves.
[...] He concludes that whether we destroy ourselves as a species
or wake up depends on enough of us recognizing what the insanity
of our current world crisis is revealing to us. The choice, and
responsibility, is truly ours."

3. MANIFESTING A WONDERFUL LIFE
Jon Rappaport knows more about the real deal of how the tapeworm
shapes our thinking, and how we each can personally manifest our
own destiny, than anyone I know. His last audio seminar series on
Mind Control, Mind Freedom, was a huge success. Now
I am thrilled to announce his new audio seminar series The
Transformations -- "We are living in
declining times. Earth culture, such as it is, is decaying [...]
To ensure our futures, we have to go to the deepest wells. We have
to renew our energies. We have to transform our responses to life
so that they become the rocket fuel for the days and months and
years ahead." In this seminar, Jon gives us the understanding,
the inspiration, and the specific tools to make bold changes, and
enjoy the thrill and ecstasy of the work as we do it. Why? "Because
this work is the deepest expression of what we are." Order
all 3 sessions in the series, or individual sessions. These seminars
are broadcast via weekly dialup conference call and then available
for download/listening at your leisure. Session One was broadcast
May 8 and ready to download now.
