			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_96" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://ginnyriker.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/cosmicbow.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-96" style="margin:2px 10px;" title="The Cosmic Bow" src="http://ginnyriker.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/cosmicbow.jpg?w=240&#038;h=300" alt="Digital Painting Titled &quot;The Cosmic Bow&quot;" width="240" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Cosmic Bow by ~ Ginny Riker~</p></div>
<p><span style="font-family:Arial;">Banks are on the verge of default.  They lie to try to hang on to some semblance of being &#8220;normal&#8221;.  We all know that they cannot continue to hide all the bad paper with creative accounting practices, yet they pretend they can.  The whole monetary system is a ponzi scheme.  Neither political party wants to admit it though.  And so, they loose relevance and credibility.  People are waking up and realizing the current political, financial and business system is not able to respond effectively to the deteriorating situations we all face.  And no one seems to be able to create something stable, something we can rely upon&#8230; something sustainable.</span></p>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">I believe we are all connected at a fundamental level, we are all part of an indivisible oneness, and we are all starting to wake up to the truth of our oneness.  Within a few years I predict that there will be no political &#8220;parties&#8221;.  There will just be candidates, and we will elect those who have good ideas and live truthful, transparent lives and are trying their best to serve their brothers and sisters, rather than line their own pockets.  Those who realize that this planet is a sentient being, and as such deserves the consideration we would give to any life, will start to come forward also&#8230; in politics and other public arenas. And we will rally around them&#8230; as we open our hearts and minds to new way of living with new kinds of leadership based in transparency and compassion for all life.  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">Before these things materialize, I believe there is much more unveiling of hidden lies to come and much more chaos will unfold, both within nature (earthquakes, floods, massive fires and so on) and within the organizational structures that are based on lies and half-truths.  This shaking up and &#8220;crumbling&#8221; will happen to structures built on lower vibrational consciousness which believes itself separate and privileged.   The higher vibrations which support truth, transparency, and unity consciousness, now gain strength&#8230; and more and more of the young people will align with these vibrations.  This unity consciousness knows that all life is interconnected and all people are fundamentally equal.  This consciousness knows also that the only sustainable structures and organizations are those built with a respect and a valuing of all life.  This is not just a revolution in the Middle East that we are seeing.  It is an &#8220;evolution of  consciousness&#8221; that will spread to all political parties, all countries and all people on this planet.  Life is evolving.  It has reached a critical mass where it must evolve&#8230; or it will surely destroy itself.  </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Arial;">And so, our consciousness now shifts, ever more surely, from duality consciousness to unity consciousness.  We awaken and realize we are all brothers and sisters and we are indeed our brother&#8217;s keeper. </span></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_74" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 130px"><a href="http://ginnyriker.com/2011/05/20/computers-dont-love/organicheart/" rel="attachment wp-att-74"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-74  " title="Hearts of Light" src="http://ginnyriker.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/organicheart.jpg?w=120&#038;h=150" alt="Digital art titled &quot;Hearts of Light&quot; by Ginny Riker" width="120" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hearts of Light by ~ Ginny Riker ~</p></div>
<p>In response to a discussion about computers&#8230; and how they have artificial intelligence, I wrote the following response:</p>
<p>Very interesting comments.  I just want to add my 2 cents about this technology thing.  I completely understand what some have said about intelligent computers being &#8220;scary&#8221;.   Also,  I do not agree with the idea that the whole human mind can be programmed into a computer.   Here&#8217;s why:</p>
<p>Computers are not &#8220;self-aware&#8221;. They have no real awareness&#8230; no &#8220;feelings&#8221;, no consciousness&#8230; therefore they cannot feel love. They can be taught to do and say synthetic actions and words, based on logical programming commands. This can make them APPEAR to have intelligence. But they will always be &#8220;artificial&#8221;&#8230; without a heart to guide them.</p>
<p>In the same way that synthetic drugs, or synthetic foods, pale in comparison to natures version,  artificial intelligence pales in comparison to compassionate, inspired leadership operating from a place of heartfulness.</p>
<p>You see, intelligence does not actually spring from the mind. Intelligence&#8230; real intelligence&#8230; is larger than the mind&#8230; it is more than the logical processes which occur in the brain. It includes the heart&#8230; where love reigns supreme. The problems we have in our world now have been mostly problems created by ignoring the intelligence of our hearts and focusing on mind centered/heartless pursuits and solutions. So, the idea that computers can autonomously operate for our benefit, when they cannot feel, nor have access to love, is suggesting that we don&#8217;t need to follow our heart&#8230; that we don&#8217;t need love to guide us. That is a scary thought, especially to those of us who have found the wisdom in employing our mind as helpmates to the higher consciousness within our heart.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the world abounds with heartlessness&#8230; and with minds that are totally untrained in the fine art of being a servant to the heart. There are people in very high places whose minds are totally untrained. Untrained minds grab the first solution or explanation&#8230; without regard for what is loving and compassionate&#8230; without employing discernment to figure out what long term consequences there will be, and how subtle side effects of their choices might effect life upon this planet.</p>
<p>But that is changing now, as the heart of humanity begins to open and bring forth real intelligence. Like a lotus flower&#8230; it unfolds&#8230; and every human heart becomes aware of loves matrix.. of love&#8217;s presence&#8230; in their own being.. and in the beingness of all life.</p>
<p>As our vibration increases and moves closer to that of light itself, will we choose to ignore it, and continue to honor the mind as the leader? Or will we focus and discover a love in our hearts so powerful that it will compel us to honor it&#8217;s rightful role as our spiritual leader?  Will we then employ our minds as helpmates to the most powerful force in all of creation&#8230; love? Each one of us is choosing&#8230;everyday.. what our answer will be. We choose how we will respond to this influx of light&#8230; of love&#8230; of God consciousness that lives always&#8230; within.</p>
<p>So you see, we do not perceive reality through our senses, we receive it through our hearts&#8230; our love center.   Love is reality&#8230;the only reality.  All else is a hologram, a dance, a dramatic enactment, operating in service to love and our return home to it&#8217;s arms.  We are on a jouney of self discovery&#8230; which we call life.  We seek to find the reality of love from which we came.  Our world is not real. It is an illusion that is meant to serve the purpose of learning that we are love itself and can only in truth&#8230; in reality&#8230; be love.</p>
<p>Our minds are most useful on this path towards discovering that we are love, when we use them to further loves agenda in our lives and within our world. Computers are only of use when they are employed similarly as a helpmate to loving agenda&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s choose love as our guide and our leader&#8230; and employ technology as a helpmate.  That&#8217;s what my heart says&#8230;.</p>
