If Going to NewLifeExpo.com (if Grand Central open if not in town already) See citymapper.com or app to get directions for subway. Many more reflections about This Time in the World- Please Pray for Peace!

That said, wherever you are 'Think Peace' and let's hope the world leaders

and people the world over can address these times with more concern and new options for peace as we are all

connected and fortunate to have made it thus far...hopefully sharing in the care and respectful use of natural resources and

absolutely honoring the lives of all people with an awareness 'tech, robots and warfare' are not necessary but have

become a signal that we don't realize how evolved we are and that war should be a thing of the distant past.

We could find ways

to help humanity survive and be more caring about those who have not had a fair chance to learn and live with safety as a

premise. It could take a while for people to believe and accept that and hopefully there'd be plenty of support in every country,

state and community to consider what people are coping with and needing.

The climate concerns will be plenty to deal with and

not something of our own choosing (but even there maybe there's more to learn for people to weigh in on how things unfold...)

Thanks for being tuned in to the many issues and pressing needs people are sharing. The protests in Grand Central tonight had 'some

people from both sides' advocating for a cease fire to prevent more lives lost, which include over 2000 children in Palestine according to Save

The Children. Mercy Corps is also calling for a cease fire to allow humanitarian aid in.

Let's take time to learn what we can about workable de-escalation

and what outcomes any would see as humane and reasonable even in the next few days and weeks, not have a war claim countless lives (already up to 5K or more

Palestinians and about 2K Israelis, including over 1200 killed in the Oct 7th unprovoked assault of civilians.) The atrocities are difficult to comprehend but important to

consider from every angle particularly if there are others backing or spurring the risk to expand into other countries and lead to ongoing battles and ever rising death tolls.

I didn't mean to get into the alarming aspects of the past month but this is what is transpiring and it's all part of our shared experience and journey.

I'll decide whether I

will go Sat or Sun to NewLifeExpo.com and trust whatever I do I will hold the situation in my heart and hear from many what they feel can be done to address matters with

great care and serious respect for this precarious time we are facing on earth overall. No one 'needed this' as an option and yet some on RichardGage911.com share that

economically it may have been on the radar to balance out the US Stock Market and keep the price of crude oil from dropping... I don't study things in depth but the overall idea that

there may be many serious planners and players 'behind the scenes' is one that deserves everyone's serious consideration...

Dr. Steven Greer has been speaking to these matters

for years and says there's a lot to learn about the last century to understand what may be happening now and going forward (even with more false flag UFO or alien events and many

things that are shown in sci-fi and can help people prepare to feed into the frenzy and confusion, beliefs and actions without better fact-checking and reliable media and think tanks to

check with (if I recall from watching hours of talks and videos in the last 6years or so...)

That said, I have been blogging on Livfully.org and writing to The Lakeville Journal (with a letter in this week about some of these heavy and important topics and yes the idea of looking at human consciousness which is part of what the NewLifeExpo.com has been doing with many experienced people in their respective fields sharing info, programs and online offers for many years.Many such forums and events could be supported to encourage people to come together for good, peaceful ways of helping everyone feel safer, wiser and connected to good efforts. People usually want to feel included even if enjoying rural or quiet lifestyles with few real interactions. Okay so hope more can pitch in to the local news effort that's been going strong for 125 years by making a donation of any size to tricornernews.com $100 K matching grant effort for the paper (Millerton News and Lakeville Journal) that wraps up on 10/31.

Consider writing a letter with others or running an idea by me (PM is fine) to help me include that in my blog post or a future letter...We have to all work together on many fronts. See what the Continuing Education at Foothills Adult Ed in NWCT offers as well and realize getting together in person or on line may be a nice way to meet people with similar interests and create more community .

 

I hope to offer a program through that venue to do more of that and promote awareness of groups people can join such as Toastmasters.org and Rotary.org, ecumenical and interfaith groups, many aspects of government and civic groups such as libraries schools (public and prviate, university, college, online and daycare and homeschool groups) and more local efforts (sports, arts and fire and ambulance fundraisers and efforts, recreation groups and more...) to help more people feel they are connected to supportive friendly folks keeping all of that and each part of the government and town going strong. Okay so hope that's helpful and look forward to seeing people over a pleasant weekend and into November at voting booths....bundled up accordingly as the weather turns cold next week. Cover whatever may be in a garden with a sheet to help it not freeze or better yet, pick it!

 

PS Those directions to Park Slope from Grand Central are to take the 4 subway to Downtown/ Brooklyn (8 stops) to Nevins then Atlantic AVe/ Barclays Center change Platforms...go 4 stops on the R train to Prospect Av and then 25th St, Exit at 4th Av and 25th SW corner. The Expo is on 26th Street...Hope that's helpful!
