A
Philanthropic Introduction to the Looking-Glass Web retreat
The
original preview of Looking-Glass.co.uk was quietly launched at 00.01
GMT on the 1st January 2000, with a purpose to ensure that a gateway
of hope would always remain open for our future.
For a few
short moments in earth's history, millennium fever heightened moral
senses as humanity aspired towards more natural paths to help extend
those emotions; feelings of hope, peace, sharing and global repair.
But the apathy
that we have quickly reverted back to has spawned even more demons,
who now feed off our self-centeredness, recklessness, misjudgement
and mistrust ... and the irony is that the stability and survival
of this planet in a new millennium has become even more fragile, so
aspirations and resolutions are needed now more than ever.
If there are ways to encourage such aspirations, Looking-Glass provides
the foundation to help develop and discover them.
But first we need to summarize the current level of evolution which
humanity currently interacts. This is so that we know how to lift
ourselves to the next plane of our evolution with a clear emphasis
on "harmonic consciousness" - a prime instinct, which humanity
needs to develop quickly if it is ever going to survive and live in
complete unity with Earth and all that inhabits it.

"With politics,
business and religion spiraling into a free-for-all melt-down, our
millennial dreams of a long-term caring utopia have been replaced
with short-term, agressive objectives. It' s the era of intrusion,
and it's the gathering of indocile paradoxical cultures, whose sole
purpose is to over-consume, win votes or win wars.
Humanity,
along with the planet we consume, has reached saturation point and
our response is self-perpetuating destruction; an escape mode for
when it seems there's no reason to learn anything different or change
a view - when there's no way out, no hope or no reason to care. And
with blinkers on, we take whatever we can and make the most of it
before it's too late. We usually continue with this abstract trait
until our untimely death.
This behaviour envelopes not only less intelligent modes of society,
but an array of lifestyles. It grows through conformity, complexes,
self-indulgence, self-righteousness and conceitedness. It's accentuated
through the delusion of control over others, xenophobia, misguided
religion and parochial attitudes.
The more
common term used for this ever-extending mutation of diminished responsibility
is called "dumbing-down", and it's a disease that has spread
right across the world. It seems that the more the world edges towards
a total environmental catastrophe and therefore the end of humanity,
then the more we "dumb-down" to compensate ... to alleviate
the responsibility of our actions.
But is there a way to reverse global meltdown? And if so, does that
mean there is a way to stop humanity from "dumbing-down"?
... Which comes first?"
Tired
of dumbing down? ... evolve
This web retreat's mission
is to introduce a natural consciousness of global compassion. It crafts
methods to establish a heightened sense of morality, which can blend
seamlessly into a 21st century lifestyle.
Looking-Glass and its major sister site VeggieGlobal.com is still
a place to plant the seeds of your millennial wishes each and every
year ... and help them to grow wisely and interdependently with all
aspects of your environment - for the sake of earth's future. It
doesn't need environmental gurus or a convention of scientists to
prove that the world has reached saturation or "tipping"
point. Anyone with an intuitive mind could see this happening many
years back. But the world, in its rush to consume and "develop"
has had no time to listen to such remote warning cries, and instead
have chosen to wait until it's too late to reverse the environmental
destruction of Earth. Conventional science, governments and therefore
people need to feel the deepest cut before they respond. Irrational
thinking perhaps, but there is always hope that humankind will do
all it now can to help reverse or at least slow down the inevitable.
All around Looking-Glass and VeggieGlobal you may find yourself picking
up flavours of inpiration that could help you to reflect, and maybe
adjust your lifestyle to accomodate new ways to interact with your
homeworld. Create your own mini-missions to heal the planet.Apart
from its philosophy of positive healing and philanthropic mission
to spread compassionate awareness throughout cyberspace, Looking-Glass
works as a unique lifeline between the mainstream "internet rush-hour"
and the real, natural world; covering animal, environmental, and humanitarian
concerns.
Most importantly, Looking-Glass, combined with VeggieGlobal, provides
a platform to introduce the mainstream to smaller, lesser-known groups
who have devoted their lives to heal, provide shelter and give hope
- you can interact and help these champions of compassion from the
comfort of your computer.
In fact, Looking-Glass
experience invites you to interact on different levels - whichever
suits you - depending on your mood and how much time you have during
your visit to this web retreat. But the deeper you explore this unique
environment you may find yourself being carried away from the trappings
of your life - your everyday web viewing. The Looking-Glass disregards
the limits of the physical world and even the internet itself. In
the Dreambeat dimension, there is no pain, no worries, no gravity,
no ending.
But while you are urged to relax and take solace here, you are also
prompted, from time to time, to review your life's purpose; to purge
any self-denials, prejudices and short-sightedness ... You are encouraged
to reflect and procure a life resolution - your very own prime-directive
- to explore your future as a "Global Compassionate".
The
beginning of your journey at Looking-Glass is reflective of your real
world, but through the mirror you can journey ever outward - and
inward - perhaps to understand, absorb and accept more in a way you
might never usually allow yourself. On your return, introduce those
soul-enriching elements that you have found in Looking-Glass into
your everyday life.
There is absolutely nothing religious or politically biased about
Looking-Glass - just common - and uncommon sense on a universal
scale. Being a source provider of self-realization - Looking-Glass
projects an ethereal quality, but with the more pragmatic view and
substance that avoids the pretence of new-age psychobabble or contrived
art-speak. Academic jargon is also kept to a minimum but an ambience
of fun and euphoria gently drifts throughout the sites while still
accomplishing an intelligent and fascinating insight towards anthropological
and existential subjects.
Above all, Looking-Glass aids to harmonically align many human traits
between all creeds, races and social fashions.
The Dreambeat ensures the view of a clear path of universal harmony
and peace between ALL ...
...
human to human - human to animal - human to all nature...
What
you will also find here are questions, answers, suggestions, inspirations
and fulfilling activities - intelligible and distinctive from the
commercial shallowness found on much of the internet. Looking-Glass
incorporates a cultural environment of an instinctive quality - and
by gathering the most naturally balanced elements of human understanding
... and perhaps much further ... it aims to define a meaning of life
that helps you build your dreams and emotions into a manageable structure.
A place where you can root and grow, tuned to the natural harmonics
which run throughout and beyond ALL universes ...
