What would make you feel better right now?

Wow, awesome post, you are quite sweet to post this sensible and delightful post using images wisely to speak up. you have expressed your thoughts n feelings eloquently.
dhanyavaad ariela, parnam

sending you much loves, lightness and wisdom

OWAIS

You are sensible dear…and it is an admirable trait!!!!

I liken some of the feelings to loss…when someone or something changes, people react differently…and for some it takes longer to recover, some never do…

And that is their path…

Others bounce like you do!!! LOL

And I love you for it!

love to you, my friend….

Again it's just amazing how we start out being on the same side and somehow end up in conflicting positions at times. It's obvious the 'big picture' got blurred along the way if anyone could feel they needed to leave GAIA out of the changeover. The simple conclusion is that they weren't particularly sold on the vision in the first place or growth and dynamism would have been natural par for the course. If they weren't fully on board then it would have been a struggle to keep them on, which is a waste of energy, frankly. It's sometimes called threshing, or refining or simply  the universe shedding the dead weight… [pardon for being a bit cruel. This is as bitchy as I get nowadays hahah]

All the same, I love the energy I continue to receive, and this is the gauge for me to stay on board. Quality attracts quality… Take care and have a great week friends! Love, Sherri

Just Beautiful Sweet Ariela!   :-)
You've captured so beautifully what I myself have been feeling after seeing so many comments opposed to the change.  Thank You!

Hey Gorl…oh my…Gawwwd…this is soooooo enlightening and insightful…I am with you on this…

I am going to vent too.  You guys ready?  Here goes…

If Zaadz can merge with Gaia and become ONENESS…and successfully too…(well…er…there might be some kinks…but those are easy peasy  to iron out…)
then what's stopping the rest of the hard-headed countries from merging into each other?   Hello???  !&#$%^&*@#$%!!!  Goat bit us somewhere?   

Aahhhhhhh…I feel better already.  And in my imagination this is already done.  (I am calling the realtime world Gaia and the country i was born in is renamed Zaadz….(my sunny field filled with dandelion puffs….)   The rest of countries now mere cities and loving it…are keeping their names and free to carry on the same old, same old way…and me Amy I. Ramdass…oh my…I am slipping in and out of countries with such style and ease…and my stupid passport is history…
:-)
Thanks Ariela…see how inspiring you really are?
Love you lots

“The pioneer members of Zaadz are still here and the core group of Zaadzsters ought to be too. Brian's Idea has magnetized us from all over the world to this one humble spot in cyberspace!”

exactly! in addition, our Team is bigger now and we are all on board with the original vision of Zaadz. Zaadz mission is Gaia's mission.

i respect the decision of those people who choose to leave Gaia. however, imho, i think most of them didn't take the time to get to know the reasons for the transition and some people are not familiar with the mission, vision, and corporate ethics of our parent company.

thanks for staying :) we'll keep it flowing…

I'm glowing reading this. Yes yes yes… thank you, for seeing this so clearly, and expressing it so well, and using love to knit us all together.

And I'm wtih sherri: of course I'm sad for anyone who feels they need to leave, but I'm of the opinion that if they don't understand the importance of heart to what we're doing here, and don't feel they can trust us all with what we're trying to build and the community we're trying to be, and if they're not willing to stick out the lumps and hurdles together, in the spirit of collaboration, then perhaps they didn't quite get it to begin with.  (Anyway, if they change their minds, we'll always welcome them back. :)

Thank you thank you thank you again.

Thank you for this post!  Authentic community building is not always easy.  There are so many ideas of what this space should be.  The beautiful thing is we are co-creating this space together to give us the space to be the highest me and we that we can be.

“YEAH!, WHAT SHE SAID!”

way to go~~well said

{{HUGS}}

And this is why I love my world today! It's like finally real intelligence is beginning to filter through into mankind, its use of resources already on hand and the need for community, to share with one another as we proceed day by day! I keep thinking that the 'powers that be' - till now anyway - have set up a system that practically excludes the interests of many many, and the whole idea of being happy is some distant and inaccessible thing. Furthermore, the whole idea of cash as currency now locks into our peoples' thinking as survival currency as well. So painful; so wasted.

I'm in agreement with resurrected1 regarding our right to claim some of the cash for pursuing the Universe's work, but I would also encourage this enlightened group to utilise our enhanced intellect to support the establishing of another type of currency in this world, and one that goes with the energies of nature, that is, the sharing of mutually contributive services which don't require an outlay of cash at all and in the process helps to build the community we so want, need and require for our healthy survival as a species. This way we aren't even trying to eek out a place in a pretty screwed up and inequitable system, but rising to the greater level of thinking and optimising what we have among ourselves, just as the universe would have us… It's called going back to basics… bartering!

Kindly check out my very first post to zaadz called 'The Value of Values' where I spoke more in-depth on the overall topic of holistic returns for contributive work among other things.

I just think it's time we stop marching to the tune of the traditional misguided corporate capitalist which insists on neglecting humanity and continues to behave like a 'company' is greater than any living human being!

This feels soooo good!

Praying the best for you ALL! Sherri sitting in Barbados… but a mere little Child of the Universe ;-}

Thanks for venting, and sharing Resurrected; and all those who posted here;  I feel I manifested this [I DID IT!! as the  child says at the end of some of those movies!]; and am therefore thrilled at not having to say it all over again! [ :) watch this clever way of taking credit for what “orhers” have done!!!!] [isn't oneness wonderful?]
[not sure if just using brackets is a good writing style. Hope Sandra doesn't come by and chide my style!!!!]  [NOT that I've ever seen her chiding]

[Hey, your blog is opening up my hidden thoughts here!!!!]

Change is scary and it can be sad when others decide to do other things/leave - take space … but sometimes they come back after they've had time to reflect and see what they are missing. Sometimes they move on because it's what they need to do and if that is good for them - we need to honor their process.

In the mean time, I'm very proud of us for being able to deal with these changes and share our process with each other! Yeah we are very blessed and really fortunate to have found each other here! Thanks Brian and Zaadz again and again! Thanks Gaia for being wise enough to want to be part of all this good stuff THAT IS WE!!!

and today thank you ONENESS because I too love how you bounce! You are mighty fine!

where does growth end?  and when it does end, what is on the other side?

i personally like the new colors and places to visit. its simply my time when I am here, so the more to explore the better.

peace… mike
