QUOTE OF THE
WEEK

“A healthy environment is not only a constitutional right in South
Africa, but fundamental for a vital
society and a sustained economy.”
-
Bjørn Heyerdahl |
Hi
Welcome to this edition of Lifebuilder!
In this edition, we talk about how our collective unconscious thinking and
behaviour as a species has caused global warming and the resultant
catastrophic consequences we are seeing today. However, it's not all
doom and gloom - as human beings, we have the unique capacity to change ourselves and our behaviour, and we
all need to do this rather urgently or face the extinction of our
species and many others in the next century or two. If you are in
business, climate change represents both a threat and a massive
opportunity for those that take up the challenge and create solutions to
the massive problems we face. So this edition of
Lifebuilder is deliberately a
call to action to find your inner balance and harmony, which will
lead to outer balance and harmony between you and nature.
One of the actions you can take is to come to one of the regular
Lifebuilder talks we will be hosting every Monday in September in
Sandton, as this month we have a number of speakers focusing on the
environment and how we can live sustainably in our environment - see the
Events section below for more information about these talks and a
mini-seminar run by the Lifebuild
Property Investment Network (PIN)
every Wednesday evening in Sandton. We
hope to see you at one of these talks. Enjoy this edition in the mean
time!

Events
Lifebuilder Talk - 'How to
Live Sustainably in Today's World'
Date: Monday, 3 September
Time: 6 - 8 p.m.
Venue: FNB Conference Centre, 114 Grayston
Drive, Sandton
Investment: R50 (includes tea, coffee and sandwiches at
the break)
The talk will be
given by Bjørn Heyerdahl, a passionate environmentalist,
adventurer and humanist, on Sustainable Living in Today’s
World. Bjørn has been the guiding force behind the
establishment of a number of self-sustaining communities in
South Africa through his organisation Midgard. Midgard is
currently busy creating a completely self-reliant sustainable
and environmentally friendly community that generates its own
electricity and water in Fourways. (See below my signature for
more information about Bjørn and Midgard).
Global warming is a threat to all life on Earth, so it is
every person’s moral responsibility to do everything in their
power to stop it. Even if you could not care about the
environment at all, with power cuts becoming an ever-increasing
phenomenon and severe water shortages being predicted, it makes
practical and economic sense to become as self-reliant as
possible. However, you may not know how to go about living
sustainably. If so, come and listen to Bjørn and his team of
experts who will be there to answer any questions you have on
Monday evening.

from Nature'
Date: Monday, 10 September
Time: 6 - 8 p.m.
Venue: FNB Conference Centre, 114 Grayston
Drive, Sandton
Investment: R50 (includes tea, coffee and sandwiches at the

Claire Janisch, an environmental engineer, independent
environmental sustainability consultant and co-founder of the
Genius Lab, speaks about the principles and practice of
eco-innovation - how nature is inspiring innovation in
technology, buildings, city design and almost all aspects of
design.Here's what a few
people have said about Claire's talks:
“I found Claire's
session fascinating, mind-expanding and so relevant. My wish is
that this is extended to as many people who are open to radical
new thinking as possible. It can only excite and motivate people
to start doing some radical new thinking on their own or in
small groups. I for one would attend again and I have at least a
dozen people I would invite to go with me.” - Anthony Duigan,
Managing Director, JCP (SA) Pty Ltd, Chairman: National
Association of Conservancies of South Africa
'Your presentation …was fantastic – I'm so grateful for being
able to share in your extraordinary vision and grasp. I feel as
though I'm embarking on a new and very exciting cycle of
learning, through which I will inevitably re-make my
understanding of what sustainability is (or needs to be) about
and how I can communicate that'. - Peter Willis, Director
(Southern Africa) Business and the Environment Programme –
University of Cambridge Programme for industry

Talk - 'Slave Species of god (Part 2) - What next?'
Date: Monday, 17 September
Time: 6 - 8 p.m.
Venue: FNB Conference Centre, 114 Grayston
Drive, Sandton
Investment: R50 (includes tea, coffee and sandwiches at
the break)
Michael Tellenger talks about his bestselling and highly
controversial book, Slave Species of god, and its
profound implications for our understanding of ourselves and
life. In this fascinating talk, he will ask and answer a number
of questions man has been asking since homo sapiens first became
a conscious species, such as:
• What do we really know about our human origins?
• Where did mankind suddenly appear from around 250,000 years
ago?
• Why have humans always been so obsessed with gold?
• Why is the flying serpent the creator god in most
mythologies?
• Why do human beings use less than 3% of our DNA's
intelligent capacity, far less than any other species?
Michael draws on science, genetics, ancient history, religion
and astronomy to reveal the shocking truth behind our human
origins. If you are at all curious about where we as a species
came from and what the future holds for us, do not miss this
talk. He will also be talking about where we go from here as a
species and discuss the rapid emergence of a post-capitalist
society where the majority of people finally free themselves
from their slave consciousness and humanity evolves into a far
more advanced and nicer species. If you are at all curious about
what lies ahead for humanity as a species, do not miss this
talk!
Here's what a few
people have said about Slave Species of god:
"This will be an
American bestseller. Once I started reading I could not stop"
- Rob McConnell, TalkStar Radio Network
"Get hold of this book and devour – if you are a scholar of
life, this book should be your companion!" - Fiona Ramsay,
SAfm Nationwide Radio
"One of the most riveting books I have ever read. Non-fiction
written with the fast pace of a best-seller novel. It asks and
answers questions that we were taught should not be asked. The
author’s passion absorbs the reader from page 1." - Glenn
Lewington, World Today, SABC3 TV
"Slave Species of god" is so much more than an eye opening story
that tugs at your educated beliefs, it is an entertaining and
captivating read. Michael Tellinger takes us beyond our taught
beliefs and leads us on a quest for the truth based on
scientific fact - a journey totally unlike anything we have been
taught to believe. What a trip! What a read!" - Francois
Vorster, Ananzi

Talk - 'Heal Your Body Through Ozone Therapy'
Date: Monday, 24
September
Time: 6 - 8 p.m.
Venue: FNB Conference Centre, 114 Grayston
Drive, Sandton
Investment: R50 (includes tea, coffee and sandwiches at
the break)
Ozone therapy is a revolutionary medical treatment that
introduces ozone into the human body. Ozone is O3,
whereas the oxygen we breathe is O2. Ozone has been
used successfully around the world for over 80 years to treat
over 150 diseases, including cancer, AIDS, diabetes, stroke,
depression, chronic fatigue, lupus and fibromyalgia. In some
clinics around the world, ozone is the first agent given to each
and every patient that enters the clinic regardless of their
ailments. Ozone addresses the key issues in almost all disease
conditions, which is why it is so effective. These are:
oxygen delivery, circulation and immune system function.
Ozone Therapy's proven beneficial effects include:
* Increasing oxygen supply
to cells, tissues and organs
* Increasing blood circulation
throughout the body
* Detoxification
* Boosting of the immune system
and many more. Elaine Young, an expert on ozone therapy, will
speak about all the benefits of ozone therapy and be available
to answer any questions you may have.

The Karma of Climate Change
"What we are today comes from
our thoughts of yesterday, and our present thoughts build our life of
tomorrow. Our life is the creation of our mind."
- The Buddha
"The
degree to which we can develop world community and thereby save our
skins is going to depend
primarily on the degree to which we human beings can learn to empty
ourselves."
-
M. Scott Peck
(from 'A Different Drum')
The world and the society we live in
today are the product of the collective past and present thoughts of
every human being who has ever lived on this planet, and our collective
thoughts of today shape the world and society we will live in tomorrow.
While this would appear to be a completely obvious and self-evident
truth, for most of mankind's history, the vast majority of people, most
of whom live today, have failed to truly realise or live their lives
according to this timeless principle. This explains why the world today,
particularly the natural environment, which we focus on in this issue,
is in such a 'mess' - it's a simple matter of GIGO, or Garbage
In, Garbage Out.
The majority of people think predominantly negative, selfish,
destructive thoughts and take actions based on these thoughts that
are in their best interests without giving any thought for the
consequences of their actions for other people and particularly, other
living things with which we share this planet. As a result, mankind has
systematically polluted and destroyed the environment in which we live
and that ultimately supports all life, including, ironically, our own,
over the last 10,000 or so years of 'civilisation'. With the advent of
the Industrial Revolution, the impact on the planet of man's
unconsciousness has been magnified a thousandfold, so that today we face
a global warming crisis that threatens to end humanity's
brief tenure on this planet and that of a large number of plant and
animal species along with us in the next hundred or so years if
we don't radically change our thinking and behaviour.

to find out more about what is, for most people, a rather inconvenient
truth, see the movie
'An Inconvenient Truth', or come to
one of our Lifebuilder talks in
September that deals with the issue of climate change and what we can do
about it (see the 'Events' section above for all the details)
Man is different from animals and plants in that we have the capacity
for self-awareness - the ability to be aware of who we truly are and
what we think and do at every moment. This is both a blessing and a
curse. We have the potential within us to experience unlimited bliss and
joy that no animal or plant acting purely instinctively can possibly
experience, but we also have the capacity to think and do unspeakably
cruel, destructive, negative things that no animal could even conceive
of. Self-awareness means we have choice or free will, which we can
exercise to either raise or lower our consciousness. We can choose to
empty ourselves of all the 'garbage' that continuously fills most
people's
minds - thoughts of fear, desire, greed, selfishness, anger, hate, pride
and all the other unconscious thoughts that produce the negative
emotions and circumstances that have always bedeviled man.
In clearing out this garbage from our minds by exercising our capacity
for self-awareness, we make space for love, joy, bliss, peace,
serenity and all the other positive qualities, which come from our
true and essential nature, to flow into our hearts and minds. We
then see ourselves as intimately connected with everyone and everything
else in this world and universe, our behaviour changes to reflect this
higher community consciousness, which in simpler terms could just be
called 'love', and we start to act with an inherent understanding
of the impact of our actions on the whole community in which we live
that we call 'Earth' instead of from an entirely selfish, egocentric
understanding of 'What's In It For Me'. This shift unleashes energy of a
much higher frequency and vibration into our lives and the world, and it
is this incredibly powerful positive energy that can heal and mend the
damage we have done to ourselves, our lives and life on this planet.
Because the stakes are so high, this Lifebuilder
is deliberately an aggressive call to action, not a nice positive,
inoffensive message that you just read, delete and forget about almost
instantly. Are you prepared to face the
Inconvenient Truth and act on it to change how you live?
Or, stated slightly differently, will you choose to be part of the
solution, the new wave of higher consciousness that is growing in the
world right now as a result of climate change and other factors, or part of the problem, the old, negative patterns of
thinking and behaviour that have created the massive challenge we
collectively now face? Can you find balance and harmony in your own life
and your lifestyle and be part of the restoration of harmony between
man and nature that will see humanity let go of the baggage of
negative karma we have collectively created and move into an age of
truly conscious living where we are able to live harmoniously with all
other life on Earth?
