The BP Oil Leak & The Prime Directive

It has been a few weeks since my last Post. I've been working on rebuilding the Peaceful Space Project web site. Hope you will give a preview. The web project gave me an opportunity to review my ideas about PSPinc and about its Mission. Over the past few weeks several things have happened that have increased my passion and commitment regarding the Prime Directive and Creating Peaceful Space. Someone recently asked me why do you give so much of your time, energy, and attention to others when so often they don't even do anything to show their gratitude or repay you in any way? My response was that although the doing may be directed towards them it is not really for them. The doing is for me! They are the medium through which I express the qualities in my heart. I believe that when we are questioned about our journey in the world, we will not be asked about other people and how they responded to what we did. We will be asked, did we do what our heart and higher self (Ori) called out to us to do? Around that same time I had sent out an email to a group of my associates. A reminder about the importance of using the health and wellness techniques that they have learned from me so that they don't get overwhelmed. A few days later I received an email response from one of the recipients. It stated, Your email was a blessing and came at the right time. I've not been doing very well and was really contemplating suicide, but your email... It was a sad and wonderful confirmation that the little things (simple acts of caring)  that we do for others can have profound significance in their live. One-by-One we can make a difference!

Something else has really stoked my passion. The BP Oil Leak!!! Seek pleasure and avoid pain for yourself and others. Was that thought in place throughout the entire BP Drilling Operation from Contract Application to Contract Approval, from Research and Development Verification to Engineering and Installation, from System Failure to...? NO! But it should have been. Our technological capabilities are too profound for them to be left under the influence of humanities weaker nature. This is what Dr. M. and the Enia are sharing in the Handbook! Negative Predictable and Unpredictable Consequences emerge from the quality of human choices.

Convert negative energy into positive energy through your conduct in the world. Was that thought in place when the tragic loss of life and leak occurred? Why has there been misinformation, false information, and withheld information coming from BP? Why didn't the Government immediately commission a diverse team of scientists to monitor the leak and the process and progress of its repair instead of relying on BP to provide them with that information? Why didn't the Government immediately have BP deposit a sum of money into a reserve account to be used (to pay residents, scientists, engineers, or the Nation Guard) in the event that the leak posed a more significant problem than BP initially anticipated? Why didn't BP, the Coast Guard, and the Government listen to the local fisherman and residents about the most important areas to protect and (based on their knowledge of the coast and its currents) the best way to protect them? Why? Why? Why? The thing to remember is that BP, the Government, the National Guard, the Coast Guard are just the names of corporations, institutions, agencies and the like. Whatever influence these entities have had and will have on your and my life, it is because of the people who operationalise the mission, protocols, and policies of those entities. That is why extending the invitation to every individual to align their lives with the Prime Directive is so important. Because everyone is going to end up somewhere in this social organism. And the Prime Directive is our way of protecting the future from the worst of the choices each of us can make.

Nurture life and struggle against death for the welfare of the planet and for the coexistence of all living things. Why is a foreign corporation drilling oil off of our pristine and vital coastline and wildlife sanctuary anyway? Why are we still so oil dependent when we knew oil was a problematic issue decades ago? Because people who came up in a time of increasing global temptation also came up without internalizing a universally accepted Prime Directive that would have guided and supported them in making right choices. Humans are bound to fall short of perfection but that is no reason to foolishly dance down the path to our own self-destruction.

We need a Prime Directive and to revitalize our Peaceful Space Response. I know that many people today will see the idea of a globally accepted Prime Directive as unrealistic. But as I see things through the eyes of the Enia, it is just a matter of time before the fabric of the social and natural order unravels to the point where eyes will be opened. For those who can see what is coming, their eyes will open like one awakening from sleep. But for those who choose not to see, their eyes will open like the deer in the headlights. Dr. M. explains this clearly in the Handbook.

I'm concerned for us, our children, and our unborn! How about you! One-by-One we can make a difference.

This is a very good post, you brought out a number of good questions that make me wonder what are they doing over there! Whats taking them so long to fix this mess? Whats done is done but the government needs to step up and put ALL their effors into relieving this situation. Its killing more and more life by the second. It's even getting the fishermen that are trying to clean it up sick. It's the worst oil spill in history, I just pray that the welfare of the ocean can bounce back after this.

Thanks Sarah! Three of the many things that concern me are (1) the fact that BP, the scientific and engineering community, and the government didn't already know exactly how to respond to a situation like this and plug a whole immediately, (2), the fact that there are over a thousand of these deep water wells around our coastlines, and (3), if they can not plug the whole, the earth can continue to purge oil into the Gulf, Atlantic, and current related oceans and seas for decades. I'm am praying that this is not the consequence of our bad choices, and that we come to see the need to internalize the Prime Directive.

Great website! I think it truly reflects the goal/mission underlining the Peaceful Space Project (PSPinc). Furthermore, the design of the website makes it easy to access information. For instance, the core concepts of the project (i.e., Prime Directive, Peace, Peaceful Space) are readily available to review. Furthermore, the website allows easy access any updates, upcoming events, links, etc. THANKYOU for your continual efforts towards creating a resourceful ‘peaceful space’!

As regards to this week’s blog, I think it is an interesting comment when you state that you “give so much of your time, energy, and attention to others” for the sole reason of emanating your innate personality (i.e., heart condition, Ori). I can see that by doing so, it can open up positive channels towards living more authentic in one’s personal and professional relationships as well as in addressing earth's affairs. For example, I know that by being true to my inner essence, I feel more passionate, alive, and successful in my most of my endeavors. Additionally, I believe that I am respected as a family member, college student, and employee for the integrity that I uphold.

Concerning the BP Oil Leak, I agree with sarahjavon that “the government needs to … put ALL their efforts into relieving this situation” in light of the alarming Negative Predictable and Unpredictable Consequences (as Dr. M.’s and the Enia mentions in the Handbook). This includes not only the devastating environmental issues but human related issues. For instance, as the unemployment rates rises along the coastal regions (i.e., fisheries shut down) due to the repercussions of ocean oil spills, this can lead to ongoing mental health issues among its citizens including “higher rates of depression, anxiety, and …suicide”. (Covington, 2010). I am grateful that, inevitably, there will be a futuristic time (as you visualize through the eyes of the Enia) in which the "fabric of the social and natural order" will unfold. In preparation, I will continue to reflect, through my conduct and prayers, my desire to be a part of the Prime Directive in building a more sustainable future for mankind and its earth.

To begin addressing this environmental/human social issue, “one-by-one”, I choose to endorse a pending Senate Bill in Congress that, according to Gemin (2010), if passed will: 1) halt any new exploration, development and production in federal waters, including seismic tests, 2) postpone any exploration already underway unless the Interior Department certifies that it doesn’t pose a “significant risk” of an accident, and 3) suspend work on any plans to open new areas for development in the 2012-2017 period. U.S. Congressman Meek (2010) provides a means for me to do so through a petition which hopefully adds support/weight to this Senate Bill. The URL for the petition is below.
