As one of Ojai's leaders, I have mandates as well.

Ojai shall make available affordable housing to all those currently struggling to stay here. Ojai shall institute a living wage and a 30 hour work week. Ojai shall implement free cake, available to all residents and those employed within the city limits, every Wednesday.

Other leaders are invited to join in the fun....

Wow, I bet these are better ideas than the current leaders are proposing. Free cake sounds awesome!

Can I weigh in with one? This probably isn't the best law for Ojai, but what the heck, some day I'll find a council member in some city to bite. Whenever the song "Footloose" is played in public, everybody that can hear the song must get up and dance like oppressed Christians at their first prom. Now that would be utopia.

oh Great Didj,

of the neverending breath ...

of the planetwide song ...

please bless this event ... join us, and make our world whole!

Elders of the Americas Gathering at Lake Titicaca, Peru - March 16-23, 2007

Namaste!

The following uplifting announcement arrived this morning. This forthcoming event is the natural unfolding of the Inca Sound Activation that was held here in the Temple on June 24th, 2006, when the Rose Ray of Lake Titicaca (South) blended with the Sapphire Blue Ray of the Temple of Illumined Faith & Protection (North). The blending of the Feminine and Masculine Rays energetically paved the way for such an event to manifest. This is very exciting!

If you resonate with this material, please pass it on. I hope you will support this event in whatever way you can.

Blessings to all . . .

Elders Gathering at Lake Titicaca, Peru
March 16 – 23, 2007

An incredible event will take place in Peru over the Spring Equinox 2007. Elders from Indigenous tribes of the Americas will gather at Lake Titicaca to council and listen to our Mother Earth, the Pachamama, and perform ceremony and ritual that will beckon in the prophesied Age of Peace, 500 years of unity and shared vision between peoples who have, for the last 500 years of Darkness, been scattered and oppressed. When the peoples of the Americas once again unite, the prophecy states, it will create worldwide transformation, allowing all of humanity to move from the depths of war into the light of peace.

Elders of Peru, keepers of this Incan vision, say that it is time for the Condor (South America) to reunite with the Eagle (North and Central America). Their mission is to formally and ritually bind the Indigenous tribes across the Americas together, for when these, the gatekeepers of our land, speak as One, the energy of their shared vision will spread to all of the tribes of Earth.

Rituals and ceremony for healing the suffering carried by the People is a vital aspect of this work, for only through forgiveness and deep healing can the Age of Darkness truly be released and the Age of Peace be welcomed in its place. When this is accomplished, the prize is a deeper and more lasting peace than many of us have ever known. It is world-changing when barriers of separation are dropped, the past is forgiven, and the People stand as One. It is the destiny of the Americas to begin this blessed transformation on the Spring Equinox 2007.

Elders from all tribes are being called to participate in this extraordinary, historic and profound event! Some will travel to Peru in March for Council and ceremony in person. Others will stay on their own land, using ritual and ceremony to anchor the energies of healing and unity over all the power places on Earth. Many will offer bundles and resolutions, stating the fulfillment of their own tribal prophecies and pledging unity with those in Peru who are bringing this vision to life. All peoples are invited to pray and heal themselves during this time, wherever they may be.

The Elders, Wisdom Keepers, Medicine People and Historians need our support to bring about this sacred transition for Earth and Humanity. Prayers and intentions are the most important contribution anyone can make, and these are asked of anyone whose heart longs for peace and unity. The gathering will be supported by participants from around the world and will also serve as a forum for cultural exchange and teaching as well cultural arts performances, such as the Eagle and Condor dances.

Earth Works for Humanity/Institute for Cultural Awareness is a 501c (3) non-profit organization coordinating the Eagle tribes of North and Central America. For more information about participating in the gathering or offering financial support to the Elders, please visit www.earthworksforhumanity.org or call (928) 646-3000.

It is part of Earth Works for Humanity’s mission to provide all funding necessary for honored Elders to travel and participate in ceremonies like this one.

We are also asking all Indigenous communities of the Americas to join with us in Spirit at Lake Titicaca by offering declarations of support for the intention of unity throughout the Americas. Each tribe’s resolution will be brought to the Gathering and incorporated into the ceremonies, linking your community to the whole. In addition, many simultaneous ceremonies will be held throughout the world on March 21, the Spring Equinox. If you are interested in coordinating a local gathering, please let us know.

I'm totally up for the limo service idea, but maybe first you can order the county of ventura to not cut down the oak tree in front of my house - or remove the wall that's been there since the 40s, or expand the 50 which is my front yard!

Ryan: As a Pink Floyd fan, I'm sorry but we gotta "tear down the walls". As far as the Oak tree, I suggest you call Julia Butterfly. She lived in a redwood tree for a couple years to keep it from being killed. Now she's making a living off the notoriety that she harvested so sweetly. As far as expanding the 50... where are you located? Do you mean the 150?

what fun!

first, i vote for Heather's and Brandon's proposals...i envision a world in which i get off work in the early afternoon midweek, and get back to my very own home just in time to have a bit of cake before "Footloose" comes on!

in addition, i hereby declare Ojai a Hummer-free Valley. there is nothing about those vehicles that aligns with my values, and as a duly appointed leader it is my most solemn responsibility to push my values and further my own personal agenda.

my name is evan austin, and i approve this message.
