2012 - Mayan Calendar - What is it about?We in the Western world have been influenced by the historical events of what came out of Greece and Rome, however, when London had only a few thousand people in 800 AD, Tikal which is now in Guatemala was an advanced civilisation of 80,000 Mayan people, with a fully written language and living in elegant, architecturally built buildings with a pyramid as their center piece.Intrinsically integrated into their cosmology was an advanced calendar that has its culmination point in 2012.So why did the Maya have as a focal point of their civilisation a calendar that they "built on" that has a prophetic date, when their civilisation basically collapses around a 1000 years ago, yet only in the last 30 years researchers uncovers a profound understanding that humanity is at a point of cosmic timing that states that we are at the culmination of our evolutionary cycle?And when we look around our planet today, with the synchronistic convergence of ecological, economic, societal and warlike disorder, what are we to make of this timing?Carl Calleman, is a serious scholar and researcher from Sweden, whose insights show that there is intelligence embedded in not only the Mayan pyramids as 'time keepers' but also in the universe itself, and that we as a humanity are on the threshold of a great awakening that if we are astute and open to possibility will open the door to opportunity, growth and "unity consciousness" never before envisaged by humanity up until this very moment!This is an exceptionally positive and optimistic analysis and interview by a world leading scholar!

Listen to a clear and lucid understanding of what the many grass roots and volunteer groups are doing to make New Zealand sustainable and the excellent work they do, what charitable trusts support them, and how local government needs more consciousness to see that an ecological approach to environment, health and community are critical to where we are going as a nation.That at a national level, the Government still sees the environment as 'something' to exploit, when for example, in England, Marks and Spencer (the huge super store) has gone sustainable and is producing larger profits, because of going more into organics and a healthier lifestyle.On top of this the NZ Resource Management Act is perceived as woolly, in that there are no numbers in it, no targets, or standards, and that we are 20 years behind Europe in writing and complying with policy, when in fact we could be the planetary leader!

Finally, an exceptionally clear summary about the Supercity, Governance and Loss of Democracy. Plus, what is the Search and Surveillance Bill that is being foisted upon us, a peaceful nation of only 4 million kiwis? Why such draconian measures and who in their right mind would conjure up such a hideous concept?http://www.ourauckland.org.nz http://www.pavingparadise.nethttp://www.gag.net.nz

Steve Hart worked as a DJ on radio in Britain and in 1976 there were few radio stations in the UK.He worked for 8 years as a volunteer music presenter and newsreader on hospital radio in Britain that led to work for radio stations in his home county of Essex – including with the BBC. But by then his second choice career as a journalist was taking off.He moved to New Zealand in 2000 to take up a senior editorial role with the New Zealand Herald where he stayed for seven years. In 2007 he opted to work freelance as a journalist, photographer, video maker and publisher.Today he publishes the Viewfinder magazine for budding moviemakers to post on Utube and the web, as well as writing about careers, business and finance for various newspapers and magazines.

As an Independent journalist who looks behind the scenes of world events, he notes that it is imperative to look far more deeply at what is happening, and asks very relevant questions as to many of the circumstances surrounding what happened back in September the 11th in 2001 in New York. Questions that the media have skirted and ignored. Questions that need to be debated in the public arena today.

Listen to an experienced practitioner and facilitator share how we in NZ can grow leadership, especially with our young, our children, our gifts for today and tomorrow.jon [at] sephiraexperience.comwww.sephiraexperience.com

“The Palestinian/Israeli conflict.”Who are Hamas? And what about Fatah (and who are the Hezbollah?) Have Jews and the Palestinians become victims of Zionism? Born and educated in Jerusalem. Joined BBC Arabic Services in London. Radio TV Journalist, Filmmaker in Jordan, contributing to the BBC, UPI, ABC, and Special advisor to Prince Hassan, then Crown Prince of Jordan. Plus, UNICEF’s regional Office for the Middle East and North Africa in Amman, as Chief of Information and External Relations.

As the victors always write the historical record, it has only been very recently that the global public realise that there has been broken agreements in what was Palestine. That to the fair minded, it is obvious in the extreme, that where once the Palestinians owned 94% of what is now seen as Israel, and the Jewish People 6%, this has been virtually reversed as a result of political manipulation.

Today, Palestinians are ignored, poor and desperate for justice and the basics of life, and yet the global media has not been prepared to give a balanced viewpoint of their plight, nor Britain or the USA to act accordingly.Listen to Tuma Hazou give a very erudite and coherent explanation of what happened, what is continuing to happen and what the possibilities for tomorrow are. http://www.exeterpsc.org.uk/images/palestine_maps.JPG ~ Map of Palestine 1946 to 2000http://www.gisha.org ~ Palestinian and Israeli Human Rights Group http://www.nkuk.org Neturei Karta is an international organization of Orthodox Jews dedicated to the propagation and clarification of Torah Judaism and not Zionism.

The Auckland Super City is almost here! Are you excited? Well, guess what? It’s not a done deal yet and there is still time to stop it. What the main stream media won’t tell you is that the Auckland Super City is a multi-national corporate “grab” of over 28 Billion Dollars’ of New Zealand Assets.Here is the scurrilous little secret that you are not being told:A possible, 112 council services will all end up being privatised. What does this mean? Major multi-national corporations will be running Auckland. In fact, Auckland will expand all the way up to the Rodney District there will be no accountability nor will there be any one local in charge. Profits? All going offshore.

Let’s look behind the curtain shall we? Two years ago 850 million dollars was spent with private contractors and the ratepayers cannot find out where exactly the money was spent.Where is the transparency in local government? Where is the Accountability in Local Government? Why is New Zealand doing this?Who is Penny Bright? Courageous ‘Penny Bright’ – Is an Anti Corruption Campaigner and Whistle Blower.Penny Bright has been arrested 22 times after being (unlawfully) denied speaking rights at Auckland City Council, mainly on matters relating to water, it is 21-1 to her (defended herself - no legal training), and 4 District Court Judges have acknowledged the 'Public Watchdog' role - so that is why she describes herself as a 'judicially recognised Public Watchdog' on Metrowater, water and Auckland regional governance matters.Penny has also been described in the NZ Herald as an 'anti-corruption campaigner' in the fight for more transparency and accountability particularly at local government. Penny Bright helped to set up the 'Stop the Supercity' group - which is totally opposed to the attempted corporate takeover of the Auckland region to run it 'like a business, by business - for business'.Pivotal to this perceived corrupt supercity corporate coup are Auckland Regional Water Services - which are being set up for privatization.The Corporate Agenda has been for years to set up one 'Big Auckland Water Company,' the contract out (Privatise) the management and operation of Auckland Regional Water services to United Water, 100% owned by the biggest water multinational in the world, Veolia!Like a giant octopus, United Water (Veolia), who established a base in Papakura in 1997, has been slowly extending its covetous corporate tentacles - and now have 7 contracts in New Zealand.United Waters?To encircle, and privatise water services of the entire Auckland region, so that the income stream flowing from the pipes that citizens have already paid for, can flow into the bank accounts of Veolia's shareholders. Situated, we don't know where!Proposed changes to Local Government Act 2002 (Amendment) Bill, currently before Parliament, would make it easier for such privatized water contracts, by extending the maximum contracting term from 15 to 35 years, and giving more power and control to private companies over our New Zealand Services.

Today we are in need of a massive and rapid local and global mind change that redefines the contours of a new worldview based around a deep integration of the material and spiritual worlds.Across all disciplines, cultures, businesses in every aspect of our being we are being confronted by the urgency and necessity to instigate positive enlightened change... And things are now beginning to shift. The need to unite and embrace new systems of thinking and doing is now paramount, that within the web of life that we are embedded in, there is no separation as we work towards oneness.We are noticing that: "Things are getting better and better ... worse and worse and faster and faster...”

And we also know that it's our children and grand children's life that hangs in balance on what we individually and collectively do. Hear about the new '100 critical shifts' in the coming 'Blue Economy' from metabolic materials in living buildings, such a painting buildings to absorb Co2, to mushrooms to eat and absorb nuclear waste. The increase of Wellness centers in the USA in the form of body, mind, emotions and spirit to promote full spectrum wellnessInnovative healing methods being used by heating the body to high temperatures prior to cancer treatment, break through's in power and a quantum leap in energy generation based on Zero Point Energy. To artistic expression of 100s of participants from many countries individually singing in together in choir over the web, to tapping into our intuitive capabilities and the gift of going beyond time, and why 'equal societies' almost always do better.Finally to how Paul Hawken sums it up with the millions of non governmental organisations and people like you, unifying as if under one banner to shift the paradigm from the old to the new ... and this is happening now.Listen as Jeff Hutner explains that far beyond 'dysfunctional mainstream news', a new worldview is becoming manifest.http://newparadigmdigest.com

As the pace of life gets faster and faster and days appear to rapidly recede behind us, NZers appear to be like possums at night time staggering in the middle of the road mesmerized and caught in the glare of headlights of a fast coming vehicle, not knowing what is happening and therefore not appearing to take any action.Will the possums wake up in time and do the correct thing by taking action to control their own future, ... or ...?Plus, what is the table talk at cafes, restaurants, bars and lunch times around NZ? Is the populace happy and even ecstatic with how we the people are governing ourselves? (Yes or No?) That in fact the talk of both town and country people is that there is nothing at all to be concerned about, with our Democracy, Governance and Sovereignty? That we can safely leave everything in the hands of the Act Party who in this escalating drama of tension, play the bad cop in the National Party scenario of being the good cop?Listen to young independent voices talk about the need to be exceptionally alert to what is happening and the necessity to NOT get our news from mainstream media that is intent on jamming sensationalistic insular drivel into our homes 24/7.

But instead, be adroit and astute by accessing our own news via the web, uTUBE, videos, DVDs, network parties and spontaneously showing up at events and friends places.
