Imagine
That all the evils in the world turned to graces;
That each of us recognized the love and beauty that is in life—whatever its form;
That smiles were the most common facial expression;
That speaking to each other our words expressed respect and caring; and
That joy were the most common emotion in every heart.
That each of us recognized the love and beauty that is in life—whatever its form;
That smiles were the most common facial expression;
That speaking to each other our words expressed respect and caring; and
That joy were the most common emotion in every heart.

Uncovered History
In Ancient Times, the cradle of civilization worshipped the Creator as a Goddess. She was the Creatrix of the Universe, the Giver of Life, the Source of nature and nurture. Her people lived in peace. In some areas, women were dominant in every sector of life and society. In others, women and men were equal, with both filling social and civic roles.
These people lived in a world totally immersed in the belief in and the attributes of the Divine Feminine. Life was sacred, and the Goddess gave women the sacred honor of bringing forth life. All aspects of bringing life into the world were held in highest esteem. Women were not ashamed of their monthly cycles. They were in tune with the cycles of the Moon, and knew their own cyclical rhythms. In matriarchal groups, older women taught the younger; the elder generations told stories to keep the sacred traditions, observances, and ceremonies fresh in the minds of all. Being for the most part, an oral society, this was their way of teaching each other about stages of life so that, among the women, there was little mystery or fear about beginning menses or the cessation of it. It was the same for the birthing of a child, and caring for the infant. The women all lived together, within their familial groups, so, additionally, the experienced women were nearby to guide and help the new mother. Men also revered the sacredness of life and the role of women in the culture and perpetuation of their village.
Peace reigned supreme among these people, until around 2300 B.C.E. (Stone, p.60), when archaeologists believe the outside group, called Indo-Europeans, came down from the Russian steppes in the north. These were brutal conquerors who worshipped a male god. Whether they came in small groups, or swept over the peaceful civilization en mass, the beginning of the end had come for the matriarchal villages. Patriarchy, under which most of modern society lives, over ran and over ruled, becoming the dominant way of life.
Why did this happen, and what does it mean for us?

What Now?
We’re going to learn about agreements, and who decides the meaning of the word “nonsense,” how a fringe group can become dominant, and a way of life can be subverted for not just years, but millennia.
Agreements are not just saying yes to an idea. We have, throughout history, made agreements about nonsense, which is error thinking. In ancient days, the world view was that the earth was flat. Also, that the earth was the center of the universe and the sun orbited around it. Astronomers and other scientific observers have proven both to be false, but they were the truth of the day, and any other thinking was considered heretical. Today, it is the same with the creating force of the universe. Mainstream thought puts Universal Creation outside ourselves; believing we are powerless, as creations of an all-powerful Super Being, we abdicate “the source of power and energy inside [us] previously clouded by old agreements.” (Amara, page 38) We humans act as if we cannot have ideas outside the mainstream because, we’re taught old agreements—agreements that stem from millennia of domination and false teaching to keep us controlled.
Nonsense is basically what falls beyond the boundaries of our own self-imposed “cognitive structures;” it is anything that doesn’t fit with what we believe to be true. That pattern of understanding can be as simple as two plus two equals four, to something much more complicated like the idea that there is dark matter and dark energy in the universe. Gary Zukav specifically states that “nonsense is nonsense only when we have not yet found that point of view from which it makes sense.” (Zukav, page 117)

So, ask yourself, What do I want?
And, why don’t I already have it?
The answer is Your Agreements, and the boundaries of your cognitive structures. What you have given your assent to, your agreements, whether you are conscious of them or not, become your cognitive structures, your beliefs. You were indoctrinated—everyone has been, from prehistoric times right up to the present.
Choosing where we place power is power itself. This is what I teach because I believe it. I believe it is the source of our effectiveness and it will be the foundation for creating the world of peace that we want.
This website and my presentations, give you a way to understand what lies behind your frustration and a way to do something to eliminate that frustration to live as you desire.
If you can grasp the idea that all is mind energy and vibrational frequency, you’re ready to get started.

Note:
I will be adding a list of relevant books illuminating the Goddess culture that was destroyed by warring nomads leading up to and in the 11th century B.C.E. Also, we’ll be starting a discussion group. Please call my office if you are interested in participating. The number is 530-774-7588, and on the Contact page.
