Finding strength in community

Our televisions are filled with shows about psychics, prophets and mystics. Do we realize that these are about real people or think them only as fictitious stories? When will we learn to utilize the talents of these people?

I am a mystic intuitive, foreseer of many future events. [I am the] inventor of glow-in-the dark clothing; producer of fashion shows in Miami and Manhattan; inventor of a safety product that could revolutionize the economy in the United States, using the profits to heal the disease and decay in society. I am a social entrepreneur who grew up in the town that Hershey built. I know difference that one person can make. Hershey’s quote: “Business is a matter of Human Service.”

As predicted in many ancient spiritual texts, the times ahead of us will be challenging with the Earth changes that are becoming more evident every day. [We are] not to see these events through fear, but [through] understanding that the Earth has changed forms many times since its formation and [by] capitalizing on the strength in our community—that is important for our survival.

Having walked in many shoes, the only difference that I have found is in the attitude of the people. Living by Divine in Bliss is a lifestyle that I choose. Asheville has now been documented to be a town of Bliss. There are many Light workers and healers that reside here, ready to share their gifts with the rest of the world.

Having the ability and experience of organizing charity events, I know that I cannot do it alone, but we can do it together. The World Record Community Pot Luck Dinner has been registered with The Guinness Book of World Records. Press releases will be sent out to international news media. It is true there will be swarms of people spending retail dollars, but the benefits to our community far outweigh the bad. We can be that beacon of light in a cruel, dark world, setting the example of what community means by coming together for one day and breaking bread for peace. This event is scheduled for May 4, 2008. It is still in the planning stage. Sponsorship and volunteers are needed to make it a success.

My proposal to Asheville is to embrace this opportunity to have the spotlight of the world look in. To ride the winds of change as the forefathers of this land before the white man came. Using our rights stated in the Declaration of Independence, and in our life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, so help us, God!
