	<description>VPOE is working with NGO’s, foundations, citizens' groups and the media to build awareness of the imminent peak oil crisis and its potential effects on the metro Vancouver area.  They are currently in the planning stages of a Vancouver Peak Oil Task Force and a Vancouver Food Security conference to be held in Spring 2008.</description>

		<description>Hello, I was at the April 11 Movie Night: End of Suburbia Followed by Panel Discussion.

I have seen the show before and many of the shows on this topic. I did not find the panel discussion to be very helpful. We have six years and then what. The underlying message seemed to be we are so out of time that there is not much we can do but watch it all unfold and hope it won’t be as bad as we imagine it could get. But when you make the prediction that the earth is about 4 billion people over populated for real sustainability, well that’s difficult not to imagine major trauma as we go through a major correction.

I realize we are looking for practical pragmatic socially sustainable economic models to meet the coming crash, crunch, realization, and it may not at first seem like something along the spiritual is a tangible useful concept to promote as a model that will help us in this unfolding physical time of need. But I believe we have barely touched the surface of what the spiritual really is and how it can be of pragmatic use with tangible results.

There is an underlying principle, just like wireless technology sends power and information, knowledge, imbedded, encoded in invisible micro waves which travel everywhere right before our very eyes, the complete resource of the internet right in front of us, but we can’t see it or access it with out the right interface.

We do not need to know how the cell technology works to be able to use it. Neither do we need to completely understand the nature of the spirit to make use of it. But with wireless we do need to make use of the interface. There is also an interface for the soul to the spirit, if we make use of it, it will reveal great hidden mysteries.

The spirit of creation is omnipresent, everywhere, being everywhere it does not have to move for where would it move to it is already there. Therefore it dwells in a dynamic living stillness, and it is in stillness that we can connect with this incredible resource.

Understanding the full power and art of meditation.
Stillness is the interface.

There is of course more to this and we do not have to understand the whole thing but it certainly helps to understand there is a great benefit in undertaking the practice of the interface, to connect with the invisible yet tangible resource of knowledge and power.

The meek will inherit the earth. A well trained and disciplined Arabian horse is referred to as meek. The meek therefore are the well trained and disciplined.
The training and the discipline is meditation, interfacing with the higher power of the spirit. This then is what manifests the spirit upon the earth plane as it unfolds through us.
