Changing The Course Of Our Destiny

Reverend Michael Beckwith

Rarely have I been moved to tears, deeply inspired, filled with joy, danced in the aisles, served some of the most flavorful vegetarian cuisine in town, all while breathlessly in awe of a collective presence of visionary leaders … This past Tuesday night was one of those extraordinary moments when Evolutionary Leaders from around the world gathered at UCLA. Their mission was clear, a call to action … a chance to change the course of our destiny!

This brilliantly choreographed evening accompanied by the Agape House Band throughout, was a show of unity, emotion, creativity, awareness, cooperation, and profound thought … truly a collective effort of passionate humanitarianism and love. As the visionary leaders began to arrive, the excitement and peaceful energy infused the Royce Hall patio.

Deepak Chopra

Michael Bernard Beckwith opened the evenings display of “spoken word” with a powerful evocation for the perfect unfolding of the nights gathering, while his lovely wife Rickie Byars accompanied him on piano.

Deepak Chopra then welcomed the audience and gave us a sobering look at the current situation of our world – 50% of which lives on less than $2 a day, 20% lives on less than $1 a day – that leaves a remaining 30%, many of whom despite their current abundant lifestyles, don’t have enough financial resources today to sustain their own material worlds. The sobering fact that most of my readers are among the richest percentage in the world, is something I myself can occasionally loose sight of. He warns, the human species has evolved to a level of depredation that is unprecedented and we are the predator of this planet – it is time for a conscious intervention, a conscious evolution.

Chopra asked us to literally turn our attention to who was listening in the room – to feel the presence of that soul consciousness in that moment – that’s all that is real about us – that is the transcended presence – it is insight, intuition, the power of intention, a new imagination, new creativity, conscious choice, the ability to hear ourselves, and the planet. It’s with this intention that the Evolutionary Leaders have come together as one collective consciousness. Their mission – to invoke a growing movement of thousands of evolutionary leaders – all of us!

The amount of wisdom, humbleness and love that poured from these leaders was an experience that no words could ever describe. I believe each and every one of us who attended the event would love the opportunity to share our heart-felt emotional experience with the world. Most everyone in the audience was moved to tears as their hearts were filled with compassion, laughter, joy, hope and inspiration!

Chopra also shared, Rumi the great poet said, “You are not just a drop in the ocean, but rather an ocean in the drop,” which is a poignant reminder that all we need is a little shift in the perspective of who we are. It’s time for us to come out of the circle of time and into the circle of love. Love is the ultimate truth at the heart of creation. We are members of a single body, energy field, information field, but most important, we are one consciousness.

There is no way to transform the world other than through our own transformation. We need to embark on a new journey of innovation, a level of conscious creative solutions for every situation that is happening in our world.

Joan Borysenko relects with the Evolutionary Leaders

Joan Borysenko delivered an inspiring refection of the evening, reminding us that “Our children are our elders in universe time – Let's support the youngest among us, to be great leaders too.”

So as a collective consciousness, what can we do to be part of the solution? Be of service to this conscious evolution! Join in and be part of this collective intention experiment, this call to action – participate, support, contribute.

Lex Lang, Jeffrey Kramer, Sandy Fox

Among many other’s who supported the brilliance of the evening (behind the scenes) were chef Jeffrey Kramer, owner of the Topanga Catering Company serving up some of the most incredible vegetarian flare that inspired health conscious actress, Erin Gray to chase one of the servers for another samosa. Also, Sandy Fox and Lex Lang were offering up bottles (100% post consumer recycled plastic - R-PET) of their H2Om “Water With Intention” along with their new signature series of stainless steel reusable water bottles infused with a visual and energetic mandala designed to inspire us all to create positive loving intention in your everyday lives!

Tamara Henry and Jack Canfield

Some of the media presence included Lisa Garr of The Aware Show, Tamara Henry of the award-winning Green T web-series and Kelly Carlin (George’s daughter) who’s getting ready to launch her new Internet Radio show – I’ll post more on that as I receive info. Thanks Kelly for the random act of kindness you displayed in our seat switch! You’re a rock-star of grace (and comedy with your tai chi expressive moves … lol).

And last, but certainly not least, no event is complete without spectacular music, and that we had throughout the night, starting with the Rickie Byars Beckwith, the Agape House Band playing during the entire event, and ending with the incredibly talented and Grammy Award-Winning Siedah Garret – who wrote the infamous Man In The Mirror. She was only scheduled to perform the one song (accompanied by Michael “Fish” Herring on guitar with the Agape Choir), but before she presented us with that gift, she sang another song that she was inspired to write specifically for the Conscious Evolution, which she performed for the first time – What If The Answer Is Always love? This new song of divine passion was an amazing prelude to a rock'in ending to the night, and beginning of a profound movement of Conscious Evolutionary New Co-Leaders – we the people!
