yes the &quot;Critical Mass&quot; is a very natural fact

even i am not in USA and not related to, all the world is watching what happen in USA

we hope that there will be some change, as the last time you voted, all the world(outside USA) watched the results in complete disbelief

in Europe we say after the rain come the sun</description>

You offer interesting viewpoints.  As I was reading it, I kept thinking of phrases like &quot;the tipping point,&quot; &quot;mass consciousness&quot; and there was one other that included the word &quot;critical&quot; but I couldn&#039;t think of the word following it.

Basically, when enough people are focused on something, I just got it, &quot;critical mass.&quot;  I think that&#039;s what I was trying to come up with.  Anyway, when we reach &quot;critical mass&quot; with a certain way of thinking, it becomes inevitable that whatever it is we are all thinking will manifest.

People are afraid of change.  They know we, as a nation, need it but when it comes down to individual lives, it scares them.  My hope is that everyone, including those in remote rural areas, are aware of how much we need change at the nation&#039;s political capital to bring our country to the next level.  

It&#039;ll be interesting to see what happens in November.</description>

yes, this introspection stage.....but some reach it several times in life

However not everybody react the same way in that situation, some react quite negatively and make their life worse.  Some take charge and co beyond to find a reason for living, some just keep goign in the rat race without clear direction.

I think the actual world need leader that will gave them direction when they find themselves there.

i like your &quot;the human race will be waking up&quot; ;  some just prefer to run to their favorite drugstore as seen on your favorite TV/Movies

I really think a big change is possible only when people will think as a whole human nation, but we are far from that, so far from that ideal world

so better embrace the one we got and make our tiny contribution to make it better</description>

I think many of us reach a point where they start questioning their life about where they are and where they want to go.  As we move forward in time, I believe this self introspection will reach critical mass   - at that point, the human race will be waking up.</description>

		<description>@ Stephen

it was some change in my life that occured during the year of 2001. It all started with one reading and questioning myself about where i was and where i wanted to go. This book was the book written by what i called &quot;the strongest woman on earth&quot;, San Suu Kyi of Myanmar (Burma) .
She live in a country nobody on earth seem concerned about, as most countries slept with the dictatorial leaders.

so back on track, it was revealing on the spiritual dimension and on the &quot;Emotional intelligence&quot; dimension

the difference between my life in the corporate world and my situation right now. Now there is a clear purpose to make something big. 

@ General audience

my actual position is Infopreneur, this mean i compile my knowledge and make it accesible to people.

Some people cal it &quot;selling informations&quot; ; that&#039;s a shortcut

if you look at the websites of my favorite infopreneur Dr.Mani, you&#039;ll discover something incredible, that a small business can save life just leveraging the power of the internet

i am glad to have met Dr.Mani and consider him more a guide than a friend</description>

And how I love it!  I just had a green smoothie for lunch and I&#039;m pretty full!  This time I threw in avacado into the mix!  Hmmm....I love experimenting.  That Vitamix is really incredible.  

Chop, chop, chop, chop, whirrrr, whirrrr, blend, blend, blend.  

With regards to your URL in the comment, not to worry.  I&#039;m glad to help you learn along the way.  It&#039;s &quot;unwritten&quot; protocol in the blogging world not to leave a self serving URL in the comment unless it is totally appropriate and related to the subject matter.  Otherwise, that&#039;s what the URL box is for when filling out the comment form.  

My feeling is if readers are interested enough in checking you out on the basis of your comment (which I&#039;d hope be interesting, authentic, exciting enough), then they&#039;ll click your hyperlinked name, which will take them where you want them to see.

Thanks again for coming by.</description>

And what was the &quot;sp&quot; position you left?  What made you decide to move from Point A to Point B?  Was it a spiritual revelation or did someone say something to you, giving you a light bulb of a moment or what?

I love stories like this because it goes to show that we are led by invisible guiding hands, taking us to places where we never dreamt would be possible. 

Thanks for coming by and sharing your story.  Congrats on taking that leap of faith.  I look forward to learning more about you Halille.</description>

Guess what?

I LOVE THE VITAMIX blender!  I&#039;ve used it several times already and have made some fantastic smoothies.  Oh my goodness, wait until you see a post I will write about going raw shortly.  

Buying that blender was the best investment I&#039;ve ever made in a kitchen appliance.  I used to own the Oyster blender (well, I still do, anyone want it?) but once I started using Vitamix, I have been blown to smithereens.  Whereas the Oyster blender made my smoothies lumpy and hard to mix, Vitamix made it super smooth and a breeze to make.  Unbelievable.

In fact, I&#039;m so pleased with it, I&#039;m thinking of making myself an affliate because I believe in their product so much.  

Anyway, I&#039;m very familiar with the Finger Lakes region in New York.  I was born and raised in Latham, NY (near Albany).  I once flew a plane to the Finger Lakes region to refuel while on my way from Michigan to Schenectady, New York for the Christmas holidays!  Beautiful area, I must say.

Thanks for sharing a snippet of your story - look forward to learning more about how and why you moved to Hawaii - I have fantasies about doing that myself.  But I would be so far removed from every person I&#039;ve ever known, especially my family.  I&#039;m far enough away from them now but close enough to visit without difficulty.  Flying from Hawaii to the mainland to visit family could get...well....let&#039;s just say it ain&#039;t cheap. 

Thanks for the raw diet support - I&#039;ll keep everyone posted, definitely.  In fact, I&#039;m writing an update TODAY.  :)</description>
