I have been focusing on the greatest journey of my life.That most amazing miraculous dream of one tiny little sperm carrying the worlds most heaviest load, the genetic information of generations and generations and generations....in order to enter into the dream world of a small egg awaiting for that wondrous moment to arrive. The greatest journey of my life. The greatest journey of my life, happening throughout the ages.Here i am, the dream of a tiny minuscule sperm who has touched, entered and combined into the amazing dream of an egg. Generations of dreams combining in ONE brief moment of time. Two different distinctive dreams combining everything together to co-create a dream dreaming.Within that brief small moment of synchronization of time and space. The combined wholeness of my dream was unified. Then began the second most amazing adventure of my life. From one miraculous cell to 100 trillion cells playing and dancing in a unified field of utopian nature.Then from being focused inside the womb to looking outward to this.We are all energy. Within a brief moment of time. The possibility of combining and integrating our individual unique miraculous creative genius energy TOGETHER to realize a totally new dream coming from the heart of reality seems so simple so easy.The Mass Group. E=MC2. Peace, love, freedom...pelodom.Within a brief moment of time is our ability to integrate our consciousness to form an amazing new creative dream unfolding. Within the empty space is the ability to integrate ALL our dreams simultaneously. By coming to the O table, by giving freely of our geniusness, our dreams shared, our consciousness expands. Our reality expands. Abundance is the dance. Within a brief moment of time, creation of a new life.. a new dream is owakened.
Dream Big Dreams
This past weekend, OFA Iowa hosted a training for our Community Organizers from across Iowa in Des Moines. Our Community Organizers are volunteer leaders that have been helping with health reform events, and other OFA events since April. Whether it was phone banks, attending public events, or hosting their own trai. You can always sign up online to attend OFA activities near you.
During our all day training, we had sections on volunteer recruitment, the basics of organizing, and work groups on how OFA will organize here in Iowa the rest of the year. These leaders were able to discuss experiences organizing their communities and hosting activities, and sit down with staff to plan what OFA should do next.
We are very lucky to have such a great group of committed leaders.Whether it is Laura, who came in all the way to Riceville, or Susan who made the drive from Council Bluffs, it is clear that health reform organizing in Iowa couldn't be in better hands.
In the first in our series of community organizer profiles, we are going to profile Gary Goldstein from Cedar Rapids, one of our newest Community Organizers. Organizing for America in Iowa is lucky to have some of the best volunteer leaders in the country. Community Organizers are popping up all over the state who are ready to take the lead organizing their local communities.Gary Goldstein has been actively volunteering with Democratic organizations for the last four years. Gary has always had an interest in politics, as a high school history teacher one of the things Gary would teach his students is about the political process. Gary has been volunteering for President Obama since 2007 after attending an event in Cedar Rapids. Shortly after that event Gary signed up to volunteer and was a precinct captain and team leader for the campaign during Caucus and General Election.
Gary believes that volunteering with OFA is a way to help make a difference, and can help create accountable government, just like he taught his students. “In order to achieve a better government we need to work for it” Gary says. By volunteering with OFA, Gary has found the opportunity to add his voice to the debate.
Gary recently became a Community Organizer on the east side of Cedar Rapids and looks forward to helping continue to build support for health insurance reform.
Last week OFA Iowa hosted a “Week of Action”. We had over 40 events across the state, all designed to let our Members of Congress know the support behind President Obama’s plan for real health insurance reform. We want to thank our Neighborhood Team Leaders and Community Organizers that held potlucks, phone banks, canvasses, coffees, discussions, phone booths, and other events.
With every event we host, we aim to learn about reform, plan next steps, and most importantly get supporters to commit to contacting their members of congress through a phone call, letter, or visiting their local office.
Our next series of events will be on October 20th. Sign up for your local event.
OFA Iowa has had a great start to our Week of Action. Across the state we have seen volunteers host events at their homes, local libraries, on campus, or at local businesses all in an effort to contact members of Congress and let them know that the time for reform is now.
Thank you to those that have participated so far. There is still time to sign up for our remaining events this week!
This week OFA Iowa will be organizing a “Week of Action” all across Iowa to show support for health insurance reform. Each community in the state will have letter writing parties, reunion events, phone banks, and other events that will show Congress the support that President Obama has here in Iowa. Sign up for your local events
Last week in Iowa we had organizing workshops in Sioux City, Marion, Dubuque, Bettendorf, and Des Moines and our volunteers are organized and motivated to help finally pass real reform and to plan our “Week of Action”. The picture below is from our Des Moines Workshop last weekend:
WE came to Washington DC for http://chalkthewhitehouse.com, to celebrate the Presidents Birthday and to express our individual unique miraculous creative genius with the President in forming a more perfect union. The participants in this years events are planning on amazing things for celebrating 2010. We learned so much this trip. Thank YOU ALL for participating.
Makiah was hoping to realize his "Dream BIG Dreams" of playing some basketball hoops on the White House Basketball Court but was threatened by the secret service to have him talken away by child custody and have his father experience some very very unpleasant times. Still totally puzzeled how a ten year old special needs boy who adores the secret service can be a threat to them or anyone.... or me, who claims to be one of the most peaceful experts on peace on the planet...interesting learning experiences.
I am currnetly working on the book "dream big dreams" the summation of our celebrational journey to DC and the first annual ChalkTheWhiteHouse event. WE learned alot about national archetypes concerning the male and female counterparts ..thank you Mary Mother of God and all things Michelle Obama. We are looking forward to being SIM orchestrators with the Institue of Peace. Balancing all aspects of forming a more perfect union with "happy hands, happy feet, happy heart...happyplanetindex.org" ....WE feel that the simple easy educational and health shifts of experiencing the ultimate health of oneself is here and now...an integral part of our history and future coming together to cross paths on that most rewarding road of being oneself.
Hoping to share more with everyone when the book "Dream Big Dreams" is completed. Until then giving all your focus and support to Michelle Obama in all she does for the ultimate goal of THE CHILDREN is absolutely appreciated by ALL of us who are "Dreaming Big Dreams" .....
I have applied to be in charge of the White House Basketball Court where the Dream Team will be meeting for the next four years or more. Join the Dream Team as play begings January 20th 2009.
And when the Dream Team isn't meeting I have applied to be on the board of the Peace Institute, time we make a real peace with the natives, and work our way outward from the heart of reality.
POW...Owakening Ompowering Oneself transforming and changing ALL aspects of povery into wealth.
Okay, WE are Owake...attentive, focused...Ompowered, knowing our individual unique role in sharing our genius in forming a more perfect union...
"Makiah's Bill" in playing the ultimate game of life and co-creating and co-designing the TOP PRIORITY of our nation. The Dream Team is taking the court, time to get your intellectual-emotional-spatial genius together to ignite the passion of your heart on fire...time for your collective intuitive genius to Owaken. Time to engage in being the captian of the Dream Team. Time to dance it ALL out of the heart of reality into the surfing of the agricultural, industrial, information, conceptual, integral, magical and utopian ages...
Looking forward to meeting and playing with your genius in the SPACE within as without the most perfect union...that SPACE of being a master loverist, that SPACE transforming all aspects of terrorism into being a teacher and leader loverist. That SPACE which offers up the highest assets of your life into the economic well being of the planet...
Let the fun and play and game ....continue...from the heart of reality...
“On the way into the event [in Waukesha, WI], the Republican Party of Wisconsin handed out fliers reading ‘Your Vote Is Being Stolen,’ an anti-ACORN leaflet that concluded, ‘Why is vote fraud allowed? Vote fraud is allowed since itbenefits Democrats.’”
More after the fold...
Okay, its down to fifty something more days til theOparty and maybe its time to bring some sanity into the political picture. Forget the issues, the heroics, the experience, the beauty, the black or the white of the race.
My suggestion is...Let's bring the two opposing "STARS" together on November 4th, in my hometown of Mount Vernon Iowa and let's decide the WINNER over a 'GREASED PIG CONTEST' ...the winner takes ALL!
If my small Iowa community sells ring side tickets and national television rights to the event, I am hoping we could make enough to create our community center (mtvernonusa.us)and offer FREE education to everyone on the planet via the World Wide Web and the information age folks. We can teach everyone the art of the conceptual age now unfolding and teach every one the fine art of preventive health care for life, for everyone on the planet. Then we can fully, totally and completely open the doors to the integral age and see that everyone on the planet is fully, totally and completely employed and engaged in being the individual unique miraculous genius we were born as... to be our passionate play, our heart on fire. Maybe we could teach the very simple easy lessons of peace, love and freedom which could save the planet countless trillions of dollars in wastefull pork spending and save hundreds of thousancs of lives in the process. And maybe while everyone is 'tuning' in maybe we could share the art of farming so that everyone on the planet can be free to grow their own gardens and provide enough food to feed oneself and the world. Maybe during the "greased pig contest' we will all see the absolute hilarious humor in our black and white systems of politics and be enlightened to co-creating and co-designing a more perfect union based on the ultimate integral concepts of SANITY combined with the art of politics.
Yes, November 4th, theOparty, bring the lipstick, we will provide the pig! Come One, Come ALL for the good of our nation, for the beauty of our nation, for the truth of our nation...GOD BLESS the greased pig contest!
The lesson he learned was always to “fight for what’s right for our country,” he said, bringing the crowd to its feet for a sustained ovation with a determined call for action:
“Fight for the ideals and character of a free people! Fight for our children’s future! Fight for justice and opportunity for all! Stand up to defend our country from its enemies! Stand up for each other — for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America!
“Fight with me! Fight with me! Fight with me! Fight for what’s right for our country!” SAID JOHN MCCAIN TO ME IN SAINT PAUL WHILE AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION, THURSDAY NIGHT SEPTEMBER 4th.

I am a stay at home dad. That simply means I have chosen to make Makiah, my special needs nine year old son, my highest priority in life. His first two rides in life were on an ambulance, he experienced heart surgery his second day on the planet. Because of lack of oxygen during surgery, the state of Iowa refers to him as mentally retarded. Makiah, is my greatest inspiration, most amazing guru and the genius that is teaching me more about life than all my other teachers combined.
Makiah fell asleep during Sarah Palin's speech last night at the Republican Convention in St Paul Minnesota. He NEVER falls asleep and has never taken a nap in his life. I listen to Makiah, even when he is asleep.
Art is a very simple way of being and living THE TRUTH of life. WE were all born individual unique miraculous geniuses, with the most amazing and wondrous individual unique perspectives concerning the beauty, truth and goodness before us, as within us. WE are all artists, WE are all born the most amazing masterpiece WE will ever experience. Just BEING ONESELF is the ultimate happiness, joy, bliss and ecstasy of any mission or purpose one can attain to. Experiencing the peace, harmony and integration with all of life is the ultimate...it is the game of all games.
Politics is very simple. When two or more individual unique geniuses get together to co-create and co-design systems of playing the game of life...politics is the play. The play is the way WE manifest the combined heart of reality with the system of utopia which is the system WE are all experiencing. (from two individual unique cells to ONE wondrous miraculous individual unique genius cell...into amazing systems of 100 trillion cells working in perfected harmony) WOW!!! Politics is the shared cooperative venture of playing the ultimate game. WE know the final end game, to live in peace and harmony while experiencing the most amazing emotions of love with one another. Politics has no real rules to the game, which makes perfect sense to the ones controlling the game and the illusions of the game. If all the worlds greatest scientists and artists got together to co-create and co-design the RULES of the game. My genius tells me, that the one and only rule would be "WE ARE ALL ONESELF, BE ONESELF!"
Makiah and I are a system of playing the game of life. We love playing it and have even gotten others to join the play. (see theartofbasketball.com) WE love to laugh. watch movies together, play basketball, walk together, discover new places and adventures, meet new people, swim, bike and dance. WE love sharing life together.
We are selling art to support our game, our play, our adventurous journey through life. All our works are in the ART BANK of AMERICA where you can purchase, rent, buy shares or just stop by and enjoy the beauty of our game.
The Art of Politics and the Politics of Art, is utopia reflected back at oneself....the quality of emotions are the score to knowing the ultimate balance or health by which the game is being played. When all aspects of poverty changes and transforms into wealth, hilariousness. will be the combined score.
Owaken, Ompower Oneself to being a player in the game. All aspects of changing and transforming poverty into wealth is the score of the ultimate game. Feel the hilariousness of it ALL! Be a player in the ultimate game.
I can hardly believe what I’ve been reading. The Senate is about to give away your protection from government spying. They are going to limit debate on amendments the FISA bill before Congress.
There were a couple of surprising (to me) quotes in the newspapers today. An article in The Wall Street Journal quoted Hillary Clinton’s press secretary, Jay Carlson as saying:
“Iowa is so small, it’s like a mayor’s race in a medium-sized city. It wouldn’t be wise to put too much emphasis on it.”
The same article quotes Clinton chief strategist Mark Penn:
“The worst thing would be to over count Iowa and its importance. Iowa doesn’t have a record of picking presidents.”
If the definition of “hero” is someone who displays courage and the will for self-sacrifice for some greater good, then just yesterday I met two heroes: Kim and Scott Schultz of Cedar Rapids, IA. They have endured a withering barrage of advertisements, phone calls and emails from presidential candidates. Mitt Romney alone has run more than 8,000 ads in Iowa. Even after this tsunami of information, they are still, at this late hour turning up at events, trying to make sure they know everything they need to know in order to pick a President.
