Australians,
Globally Creative Citizens
All Cultural Ambassadors Of Diversity
In June 2003 I felt magnetically drawn out of Brisbane Australia to the Summer Solstice Celebration at Stonehenge in England. I had been visioning a journey in which I would demonstrate my idea of a “life style leader” acting as a “cultural ambassador”. When this sacred site idea was shared with me by an Aussie mate, it struck a cord so clearly within me I knew its synchronistic signature showed me I had to be there.
In the process of being able to arrive in time, I felt torn apart inside being forced to leave behind beautiful close loving friends and venture into the unfamiliar in order to make it familiar. I truly wanted my journey to be of meaning and value to my family of friends. I felt my exploration would bring back a wealth that could be realised by those who didn’t actually come with me. I was convinced this choice would create a positive leverage in the lives of those who wish to embrace and share cultural diversity with all. I affirmed this would happen for me and all of you with whom I share the world.
I had been observing the trends all my life as to what would be an important cause I could support with my talents and abilities. I believed for my intention to be successful, it would have to serve myself and in turn all life. I have been appreciating the benefits we are receiving as we inhabit a world consistently gaining greater awareness and transparency, communication and accessibility.
What is really essentially going on?
What if our world is getting bigger and smaller at the same time and so are we?
We are simultaneously realising our individuality amongst diversity, yet accepting our global unity.
As this process grows upon itself, old views are becoming replaced by new present opportunities.
What is being born as isolation dies?
Australians, are we still living in the shadow of “Great Britain”? As a convict settlement nation we did not have an established connection with this land through which we could create clearly harmonious residence. We infiltrated this land with a mighty patriarchal conviction that this land could be owned and reaped of its natural resources.
We got busy working to dominate this land, tame it for our individual needs. Don’t you think it’s funny that the uncivilised were sent here to civilise it?
Now we face crises for which we are responsible. Water issues lead the agenda as we find ourselves embracing the feminine aspects of flowing like a river, being like an ocean. It’s as though collectively the humans of our whole planet have forgotten our essential connection with water and flowing with all the elements as we have made commodities of almost everything, equating its value financially. Our situation is threatened by this imbalance in being. Some things aren’t about money, yet we have attempted to associate everything with it in order to sustain a sense of identity in our relationships with all. In our fixation on earning an artificial energy, have we forgotten the true relativity of the natural elements in our lives?
Forgotten knowledge can be remembered. We just have to decide to question what we’ve forgotten and the answers are all here now.
What if we’ve been separated from realising our true global relativity because of our isolated position in the world and the vastness of our land? And what if this is changing as westernised technological innovation interacts with this Great Southern Land.
Have you noticed a phenomenon known here in Australia as brain drain? It’s associated with talented Australians being ¡§coaxed¡¨ to work in other countries, or whom leave of their own volition in order to embrace higher leveraged opportunities for their own self expansion. The natural resources of our popular people wealth is utilised outside of this land. Some see this as a negative thing. I see this is essentially positive if we can see beyond our borders to a global culture.
I make the distinction in highlighting this message for Australian people because of the essential role I see we represent in the global process realising oneness. By us Aussies being clear on what we offer on this land, we will see more relatively what our neighbourly land custodians bring to the whole globe together. Global citizens will relate to a message affirming individual cultural influences by observing and embodying the combined uniqueness of all our heritages. This clarity is evidently happening as we communicate and become true with ourselves. We experience a natural harmonisation by taking full responsibility for all our resources, all aspects of our environmental disposition.
I question the attitude of the Australian government and the prevailing views of our peoples regarding foreigners coming to live here. I acknowledge the diversity of views on this subject and would like to support the validity of this view preventing large numbers of people coming into this land at this time.
I have travelled during 2003 in England and Australia questioning what makes each culture uniquely equal. When we see how we are relative to each other, we know more effectively how to relate, establishing effective exchanges of cultural knowledge, skills, trade and lifestyle.
I see each of us represents a unique culture based on our individual experiences. I see health born in our being when we are able to share, to give and receive of our experience. Experience isn’t scientific, it has a wholeness about it represented in the stories we have to share about the happenings in our lives shaping the meanings of our understandings. Some things won¡¦t be proven until they are experienced. My experiences have been directed by my intuitive intention seeking to effectively present a validating framework for culturally creative people.
So I support the view held in Australia to curb the flow of new elements, new people residing here. I didn’t say I wholly agree, but I choose to see the situation from the collective global perspective. Let’s get it right here and be a positive model for the world.
Looking at the historical landing of the “civilised” western culture at the end of the 18th century onto Australia, we have witnessed a number of rapid environmental alterations occur to this land. The legacy of a western attitude of possessing and controlling land with the purpose of expanding ownership and dominance. I remind you the time has come for us to move beyond this unbalanced ignorance of sustainability. There is a beautiful harmonious future ahead of us and we are refining and removing, replacing with qualities truly serving this global vision.
Globalisation is defined by you.
You are experiencing globalisation.
I think we can generally equate masculine yang qualities of direction and control with the western cultures of civilising and expanding while the eastern cultures are more feminine yin supporting and flowing. In a global process where two fundamentally opposite patterns meet there is a synthesis of these qualities as the two contrasting ways must find community to meet as one. A common unity.
I see the integration of new cultures into Australia will be controlled intelligently by the nature of our intention to model enlightened community communication and lifestyle. We have to really know why we are accepting diversity into our communities, not doing it because of external pressures. Let’s build our culture with an intrinsic desire to embrace and work with diversity. We really will serve ourselves best by being inspired by those who would love to share this land with us. We will not create what we want when we focus on messages only describing what we don¡¦t want. We don’t move past a wall until we look past the wall.
The culture of Australia has been built upon an extensive land of space roamed by the aboriginal peoples. An influx of westerners was injected from a small island on the other side of Earth, Great Britain. These people’s conditioned experience was encased and controlled in small spaces for relatively petty uncivilised immoralities like stealing food to survive. Could you look at it like civilisation couldn’t be civilised, so it had to spread?
Now we’ve created an urban sprawl matching it with the best in the world. We abundantly use space up like it’s free. Is it in our desire to own our own space we neglect to be aware of the considerations of most of the rest of the people on Earth? At some stage we must consider the relativity of our actions.
Are we living like gods in amnesia?
We have amazing abundance!
What if where there is the most enlightenment or space, there is also the most unawareness or restriction and we all have a choice as to where we sit on this spectrum?
Australia’s southerly position is relatively associated with the East and the resident population before the mass landings of Europeans was nomadic and cyclical in their movement. They would embrace national convergence sharing land in common whilst retaining integral responsibility for their own individual heritages. I am sure they experienced much internal conflict at times, not saying anything is better or worse than now. Essentially I would like to acknowledge these two distinctly different ways of being:
To travel around or to stay in one place.
As we have improved our technology to both move ourselves around and to stay in one place we are embracing the two opposite qualities. We will continually refine this balance, integrating both into new ways of being, serving us to fulfil our hearts desires.
At times we will be called to be somewhere on Earth and won’t know why, having the choice to accept this flow. We also can stay strong in one place sharing the benefits of those moving around us. Different times and different spaces will inform different faces and different places.
So maybe Australians have been relatively isolated by our geographical position relative to the vast populations of Asia, Europe, America and Africa. Our small twenty million population has represented the largest island continent on Earth to the other six thousand million peoples. Much of our talented individuals have chosen to leave this small town continent and go to the big smoke cities of landlocked nations embracing the ever present opportunities coming to capable people.
Australians are unique in my opinion because of the context we generally grow up in. We have grown to love and accept vast space to explore and embrace the natural vital elements of life. We have a unique lifestyle due to our position. Abundant recipients of our sun’s blessing.
Everyone is relative to each other. I know this when I consider myself pulling out the proverbial “Australia card”. Whilst on my journey to UK I came across a number of opportunities to share the fact I am an Aussie. I realised when I left Australia I was more Australian than I realised. Initially I had feelings of “only” being an Australian, quickly adjusting to charming pride in being a sun-loving bronzed Aussie. Travelling with mates from this great land showed us how positive we are. This could be wrong if you don¡¦t agree and you call yourself an Aussie. However I am willing to risk misunderstanding and assert this concept.
I encourage you wherever you are from, a global citizen on Earth, to see the perfection of what you offer within your individual cultural journey. Your path of memories is unique and I suggest is essential in bringing collective awareness, harmony, understanding and positive cultural synthesis.
Your movement on Earth may be guided by the spirit of our great Mother Earth.
Your provident path is guided by Great Spirits.
There are cycles of existence flowing in accordance with the movement of large planetary and solar bodies. Our Earthly lives represent these universal energy exchanges upon which understanding the nature of these mass movements can bring us a sense of harmony and peace with the process at work.
Imagine what a trip we’re on now if it’s true Earth is at a relatively amazing time in the cycles of all cycles and this can be seen in the rate of exponential changes occurring on all levels of life in the recent past history. Exponential growth and change leads to completely new ways of seeing and being and therefore new understanding of Who We Really Are. I consider it highly worthwhile to consciously acknowledge this is happening.
I tell stories. This seems to be something I do a lot. Every story is part of a dreaming we share. I am one part of the collective fabric of meaning and what I inform you of is an essential perspective you decided to consider in your own evolution. You decided to hear this and it changed your mind in some way. So you tell stories too and what you say changes the collective mind we share in some way.
I see the stories is what we build our cultures upon. Any cultural view is the synthesis of historical events interpreted into specific meaning forming an axis around which new experiences are born. Whatever we have to say supports the reality we have spoken.
What I am saying and you are hearing is supporting a culture of honesty embracing our true relativity. I was told of a prophecy that in the dreamtime the “Rainbow Serpent” would awaken from the Great Southern Land. The vagueness of the story, the lack of specific detail on this story has allowed my mind free room to imagine what such an idea could mean. It’s mythological language giving rise to possibilities it is about something very magical in deed.
The aboriginal culture of this great land speaks of a dreamtime. Many of us have taken the stories of potentially past events to mean the dreamtime already happened and now we are living rational lives. Well I can accept that version, but the one I would like to vocalise is the coming together of all the colours of the rainbow tribes on the Earth in full acceptance of our diversity and our natural energies. It’s a collective awareness of our awakening kundalini life force with a whole physically integrated understanding of how these energies support us all.
I see in the serving of this purpose a land with abundant space, natural resources and relatively free of dominating monoculture traditional views provides fertile ground for new ways we can relate together as culture.
There is a term describing a percentage of the Earth population who are “cultural creatives”. The qualities “cultural creatives” represent comprises a collective force interested more wholly in diversity and unity than in being separate and dislocated. They enjoy togetherness and the processes exploring our community life styles. This group is very interested in looking at themselves and each other. It may be their dreaming to respect the dreaming of the great dreaming. It is obvious to this culturally creative force that we are living the dreaming now.
So as a self described “life style leader” moving through time and space as a “cultural ambassador” I share this perspective as a view you can embody. There is great value in the sharing of our positive enlightening stories and ways of being. Maybe our worlds are yearning for us to open up and share our honesty with all for the benefit of creating synthesis, collective togetherness. It’s the flow of change we must accept in order to share our unique selves wholly because any step in any direction will change how we see ourselves and the world. Such is the nature of the oral tradition.
In our international travels and our cultural exchanges everywhere, let us all embrace our uniqueness within the diversity we are. Wherever we are, whatever we’ve been, we are all of the Earth, ab-original. Let us share our relative journey, building our friendly families, finding our unity presence here now.
Aussies, you have a creative and uplifting vibe bringing happiness to those being stuck in one view. Realise living in a multiple culture world equips us to demonstrate the acceptance of new views, an essential skill in creating collective harmony and understanding.
We are becoming specialists in diversity for common unity.
