Humanity Unites Brilliance with Michael Beckwith and Agape

Monday, May 12th, 2008

             Humanity Unites Brilliance (HUB) is a for-profit company that uses personal development training as an economic engine to generate an ongoing humanitarian impact. Being a HUB member means that monthly contributions feed three, educate three, provide clean water for ten and fund pooled micro loans.  In return HUB provides members with personal, business and humanitarian training.  Additionally, members have access to HUB’s social networking site.  One feature of HUB’s social networking site is that it matches people based on similar passions to create mastermind groups called a Circle of Brilliance where people can network with others for their business, personal and humanitarian projects.   

            HUB’s mission is to transition the world from a state of basic survival to one of self empowerment and sustained abundance.  Its goal is to attract 400,000 members within 2 years which will mean $40 million per month in addition to income from live events that will go towards humanitarian purposes.  Its official launch date is June 21st 2008.   One aspect of HUB is network marketing.  HUB utilizes network marketing in order to generate sustainable and exponential funds for their humanitarian goals and non-profit partners such as Feed the Children, Nourish the Children, The Micro Credit Summit and Raincatcher.  

            Additionally, HUB partners with people like Rev. Michael Beckwith, Mark Victor Hanson, Barbara De Angelis, Jean Houston, Marie Diamond, Marci Shimoff, and Barbara Marx Hubbard to provide personal empowerment and humanitarian training.  For example, HUB recently partnered with Michael Beckwith and Agape to do an extreme life makeover for five families in Los Angeles providing them with everything on their wish list from bikes, computers, job opportunities, educational scholarships, business training, counseling, cash donations and food. Rev. Beckwith said HUB leaders are no airy fairy dreamers, but are taking practical actions based on a BIG vision to heal the planet. 

            Charlie Gay is one of the founders of HUB.  Charlie has served as a rock and roll promoter and event producer for clients such as Pink Floyd, Pavarotti, Madonna and Fleetwood Mac, as well as the UK government of Margaret Thatcher.  He is the former Executive Director of The Mineseeker Foundation and Sole of Africa Campaign, whose patrons include Nelson Mandela, Graca Machel, Sir Richard Branson, Brad Pitt, Queen Noor of Jordan and John Paul deJoria.  The Mineseeker Foundation’s mission is to eliminate land mines throughout Africa.  Mohammed Yunis, Nobel Prize winner for his Grameen Bank micro loan program, has met with Charlie Gay and supports HUB’s work as a perfect example of this new model of corporate philanthropy.  He said that for profit companies should get involved in helping fund social programs rather than leaving that task solely to non-profits.

The Secret spiritual video of planet Earth

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

The makers of The Secret have created a short four minute video clip of the planets and Earth.  The video clip shows beautiful scenery of planets, waterfalls, oceans and other gorgeous scenes from across the globe.  The video is accompanied by music from composer Jo Blankenburg.

This short video clip is great dose of inspiration and tranquility.  I received an email with a link to this video clip and it was a great way to start the day.  For about four minutes my focus was on appreciating nature and the universe.  This is the intention of the video.  The makers from The Secret believe that as people watch these video clips that their thoughts begin to shift to a state of gratitude and awe.  This shift caused by the video clip raises the vibration of who we are being.  As a result people are inspired to take actions consistent with thoughts of gratitude and appreciation.

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

James Ray is offering visitors to his website free access to video clips of him on television and radio interviews.  In the last year, Ray has been on the Oprah tv show twice, the Larry King show and interviewed on the CBS news show.  Many of these interviews highlight the success that people have experienced as a result of reading Ray’s books or watching him on The Secret.

 However, not everyone is a believer in James.  His interview on CBS news show experts debating with him and critically examing some of his teachings in The Secret.  James’ career has really taken off in the last year with media appearances, book deals and DVD roles.

Powerful Intentions online community

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Powerful Intentions is a unique, online community of people who believe in the power of their intentions, the Law of Attraction and living a life of inspiration. 

The website includes personal pages similar to ones that you can set up on MySpace.  Additionally, there are sections for members to upload photos and videos for the community. There is also an online forum where members can discuss various topics such as the Law of Attaction or the power of their intentions. The site is easy to navigate through and some of the graphics and videos are great.  

 

There is a trend among new media and Web 2.0 to set up social networking sites that fit niche areas.  MySpace was the first big social networking site.  Within MySpace, a person can join various groups for their own interests.  However, one downside with MySpace is that it is too big and there are too many groups scattered around.  Additionally, MySpace attracts a lot of spammers.  As a result there have been many social networking sites and online communities being created that serve a niche area.  

 

Powerful Intentions is a great example of a social networking site that fits the niche for people.  Additionally, it is a remedy to some of the drawbacks of MySpace because it is focused on attracting members who believe in the power of their intentions.  The site is also well maintained and free from a lot of the spam that a site like MySpace gets.

Does Eckhart Tolle and Oprah’s webinar contradict your religious beliefs?

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

 

Yesterday, Oprah did a show about the impact that her webinar with Eckhart Tolle is having. People from all over the world including someone serving in Iraq and a woman dying of cancer wrote in to say how Tolle’s book is providing them with peace during times of great stress and anxiety. A common question that came up is whether Tolle’s book contradicts religion. One response was that Tolle’s book helps people from all religions because it empowers people to experience and know their spirit or soul on a much deeper level. One commentator even compared Tolle’s book to adding honey to tea because Tolle’s book increases ones experience of their own religious beliefs.
