Get Involved in the Common Passion

Common Passion is this wonderful non-profit organization that brings people together to do good in the world. They often focus on events that bring the world together like the Conscious Convergence and now the Venus Transit.  The people in this group are what I think of as “high vibe” and I am always happy to spend time participating and supporting them when I can. They can always use more help and so I thought I would send out the call.  Here is the latest communique and an opportunity for everyone to get involved.

 

Hello Common Passion Friends,

What powerful energies to converge around in the next three weeks! Lots to explore…please make time in your busy day to play and celebrate with us in these amazing events:

1. This Sunday, May 20th, a solar eclipse, with, allegedly, an Earth-Moon-Sun-Pleiades alignment at the same time! And the same day: www.globalpeacemeditationprayerday.org, which we invite you to join with us and the World Peace Prayer Society in a “symphony of peace prayers.”

2. June 4th, the day before the Venus Transit, a full lunar eclipse.

3. June 5th/6th, the last Venus Transit visible in our lifetimes: http://venustransit.nasa.gov/2012/transit/webcast.php

Here’s a site with a video (near the bottom of the page) that explains these alignments:

Creativity and Inspiration from our last Tele-Webcast:

You may listen to the entire call (advised!) by going to www.Talskhoe.com, and in the “Call ID” search box enter 36237, then look for the Past Episode on May 10th.

Here are some notes from the call:

There was lots of beautiful imagery in people’s words (flowers, bees, butterflies, light etc.).

We love the way the event is coming together, the Billion Acts of love is flowing freely, that there is no expectation or pressure to “be” something; there is simply space for it to grow and flourish.

There is no right or wrong way to participate in the VT event- simply tune into its energy and as something comes up, share and talk about it.  Notice the similarities of what we want; our differences are so minimal.

Recognize and focus on our similarities-don’t let our differences divide us.

Other gems:

honeybee carrying information and emotions between flowers of consciousness gathered here today

feel new earth, but have patience

humility as we remember what we are to one another

being in highest frequencies

choose whether we believe our happiness depends on others or within ourselves-where does the responsibility lie?

our hearts can hear and speak and our minds can feel and love

time of enlightenment, rebirth for planet

distractions and distresses result in fear and activation of insecurities-outside forms created by our state of heart and mind

emanate love and light, it will change, positive outcome

unity of heart and mind parallels unity of man and woman, Mars and Venus etc 2 opposing forces unite=release of new form

Definitely mention: we see you we feel you we hear you, we love you

Also:

SDO (NASA ship) will film entire transit from space and webcast it live!

A billion acts of love

by Deborah Lindsey

Its so easy to see the darkness when it shows up in our lives. Someone says something mean or someone gets sick or dies and it has so darn much power, often sitting with us for long periods of time. In fact, most people can recount the various traumas in their lives with great ease and yet struggle to find one moment of sheer happiness.

I think that’s why I’m so excited about this little project called “A Billion Acts of Love.” It is being put on by a group of all volunteers called Common Passion. It is a simple idea—the idea that we change the world with just a little bit of love.  If each one of us intentionally did one act of love, that would be what, 7 Billion acts of love?  I mean jeez, how easy is that?!  They have put together a Facebook page for people to report on their acts of love. It is starting now, in the light of the Venus Transit which is believed to activate a higher level of love on the planet (takes place June 5th in the US), and will continue until December 21, 2012, perhaps the most auspicious date of all.

I have to say that on some level I think this is happening automatically. In fact, everyone that I know does something good every day. Most of us, I believe, are DESIGNED to act from a place of love. So I look at my day today and I ask myself, did I do anything out of love?

Me? Well, I have this silly thing that I like to do. On many days I cross the toll bridge. It costs 50 cents to cross which can be quite the irritant. So one day, on the provocation of Neale Donald Walsh, I decided to pay for the guy behind me. I didn’t know who he was or anything about him/her. But I did it anyway.  Oddly, the minute I handed the man at the booth that extra 50 cents and said, “Can you pay for the person behind me?” and saw him flash me that grin, I felt like a million dollars! Small price, big payoff don’t you think?

Today I took a few minutes out of my day to hang out with my dear friend James. Hes’ this beautiful young man of 13 who lives on my street and for whatever reason thinks I’m cool. Its beyond me, but who am I to argue? lol. He is such a delight! He is excitedly learning palm reading and tarot cards and is even attuned as a reiki healer. He is like a brilliant sponge who takes what I says, rolls it around in his delightful brain, mixes it around for awhile and then congeals it into thoughts that are uniquely his own. Today he popped over just as I was finally talking myself into getting back to work, knowing I had plenty to do before the sun went down. My first inclination was to shoo him on his way but then I saw his shining face and decided that life, in this moment, was much more important. So I took about an hour and I hung out with young James and I did it out of love. Maybe its a small thing but again the payoff was huge.

You see his cell phone stopped working but I had an extra in the drawer upstairs. So, I got to send him home with a new cell phone, temporary as it is, that will soothe is soul until the new one arrives next week. So do I get to count that as TWO acts of love? lol.

Oddly though I’m not sure if I’M the one who performed the act of love or if it was Young James! I’m thinking that perhaps it was a two-way street?

So, let me ask, what did YOU do today that could be counted among the Billion Acts of Love?

 

 

May 1, Venus Transit, Global Love Day, and a “Billion Acts of Love”

by Deborah Lindsey

Hi guys,

I’ve been really fortunate to work with a team of people at an organiation called Common Passion. They do amazing work, all as volunteers, to make the world a better place by organizing events like global meditations, etc.

So now they are organizing a very special event called “A Billion Acts of Love” where they (we) are working to use the energy of the Venus Transit and the December 2012 Alignment as an opportunity to just overwhelm the earth with love. Love, love, love. A Billion Acts of love.

I thought I would pass on some information on this as today, May 1, has been declared Global Love Day! I’ll write more about this as we go along but wanted to give you a heads up here though its very last minute. For that I apologize. I just found out myself.

So here’s the info from Common Passion. Now go do your part and take on an act of love yourself on this very day.

Venus Transit 2012: The Legacy…a billion acts of love.

Our Venus Transit 2012 Collaborative Community Call on April 15th was a wonderful confluence of inspirational ideas and there were some powerful energy exchanges happening! To listen to a recording of the call, please visit:
