Woowoo Magic 101

Here's how it works. Most of the people on this small blue planet would like world peace. However, that same majority doesn't believe world peace is possible what with terrorism, ignorance, religious disputes, the designated hitter, war mongers, Bushism and the like running amok. What we need, as my man Deeprock Chopsticks - that's Deepak Chopra to those of you who aren't close - said in his recent tome, Peace is the Way, is a "change of consciousness."
This does not mean tequila shots on Friday night. What it does mean, as any woowoo worth their crystals will tell you, is simply that we must start thinking differently.

"HEY! HOW ABOUT AN EXAMPLE."

Okay an example has just been called for, so I'll give you one. Lets go back in time all the way to yesteryear when The Lone Ranger rode the range and Silver too. You are walking along on wooden sidewalks bumping into people and asking them if they knew who that masked man was and did they think space travel was possible. "Why that's The Loooonnne Ranger" they reply, followed by "What's space travel?" and the William Tell Overture getting louder in the background. Ninety nine percent of the people on the planet, Jules Verne and myself being notable exceptions, at that time, believed that flying to the moon was just not possible. So now we fast forward a few years and we find that some people do believe, as Judy Tunuta would say about a date with Brad Pitt, "Hey, it COULD happen." Skipping the light fantasic forward a few more years and we discover that a whole slew of people - slew being a southern word meaning more than two - believe the moon is reachable. They're writings songs about it. "Fly Me To The Moon" is one you will remember if you happen to be as old as dirt. By the time we get to the Ninteen Sixties, the majority of the people, and here is the key, BELIEVE we can get to the moon and jumpin jiminy - I pick up the oddest expressions time traveling- we do. More than once. A whole slew of times, in fact. What has happened is that we have gone from most people NOT believing we can travel in space to most people believing we CAN. And so we do. This was a change of human consciousness that created a change in human reality. Cool.

Now that that's cleared up, all we have to do is start believing that world peace IS possible. And also the decline of The New York Yankees. I believe it and now if you believe it, together we can convince the next guy and pretty soon, what with the accelerated rate of change and all that, we'll have a majority of people believing it and when that happens, holy woowoo smokes, consciousness changes and there's NO MORE WAR.

Piece a cake.

Tomorrow I'll cure cancer.
