I wonder what The New Happy is. I used to appreciate that it was our mission to transcend the pain of the past and the fear of the future, to anchor in the pure happiness that is our birthright. But these are such unhappy times. How can we stay conscious of how difficult things are and be happy people?

My genius buddy, the late Lex Hixon, used to talk about “the relative” and “the ultimate” as two aspects of reality that always are in play. As the day to day material world goes by, bad as it might get, the ultimate reality of our eternality and our o­neness remains the same, which is to be even more cherished now for deep solace if not surface joy. From this deep place, with our innocence gone, I believe we are waking up to more thoughtfulness, more heartfulness, and more vision for what could get us beyond how sober these times are.

My visionary picture has the “first world” making a radical shift of its underlying intention. I see it taking o­n a dedication to making life work for all people, like a family would. Greed would have to be gone. There comes a time, in individual development, where this becomes a done deal, so it's not beyond possibility that across the boards greed could go. I can see a gigantic aha, like a movie with a Frank Capra ending. Everyone gets it that kindness and caring are the way.

Currently, as violence is met by repression, in an escalating dynamic that heads for ever-more massive conflagration, there's a place inside me that's screaming, “Nooooooo.” And asking, “Now what?” People can be different, so how could that come to be?

Would that some Rooseveltian persona could reframe the world, getting people to drop acquisition as a goal and turn to service. If you are among the haves, you become committed to the have-nots. Such a wave of caring could sweep the world that all the roots of terrorism would dissolve.

If the choice were between the destruction of humanity and this shift to altruism, there would be no question. And we all have that Capra soft spot. Let's talk turkey. It's part of the human mechanism. It's not impossible for humanity to meet here.

This was not a pitch for crop circles awareness, but, speaking of ahas, if I ran the world I'd make it a priority for people to find out about them. Since an advanced intelligence is responsible for the phenomenon, that is something new. A giant something. Knowing that contact is being made could be the beginning of the shake-up of the mass mind that currently is enfolded in such an unhappy progression. Not to mention the truly staggering possibility that, o­nce we acknowledge there's another intelligence, we have every reason to think the connectedness between us will intensify. The more attention that has focused o­n crop circles, the more dramatically the phenomenon has evolved. Perhaps, when we realize we aren't alone, a teaching will ensue. We may be shown ways to do things beyond what we know how to do. And maybe we would get pulled to a higher place within ourselves by contact with something beyond us, where we would experience a New Happy of open-heartedness.

There will be an opportunity to be convinced about crop circles o­n the Sci-Fi Channel at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow night — Tuesday, April 29 — when “CROP CIRCLES: Quest for Truth” will show. Although misnamed in that it's not a who-done-it, everyone who sees this theatrical feature film becomes convinced that something beyond any conceivable explanation is going o­n. And that that something is incredibly beautiful, indicating how very attractive the mind of the sender must be. Letting your mind dwell in this larger bubble of reality, where you are taking in such stunning beauty and contemplating the loveliness in the mind of the sender, holds a real feel for a New Happy to come.

You might want to tape the film to watch it again, or to show to others. And, if you want to buy a video of a longer version, that has been playing in movie theaters — or a DVD, that has more than the film o­n it — click here.

PS: I sent this around to friends of mine who are connected to Dennis Kucinich:

I am suggesting that anybody who breaks the news of the crop circles being created by a non-human intelligence will go down in history. It will be a huge opening to a next level of reality for all of humankind. If Dennis Kucinich were that person, he would rise above the crowd.

There is hard core scientific evidence. The government disinformation campaign has kept it from being taken seriously. All that has to happen is that attention gets paid for this to change. Dennis can tell the world to pay attention. There will be a giant “aha,” and this realization will eclipse all other subjects currently in play. The world will be given a wondrous blessing.

“CROP CIRCLES: Quest for Truth” is o­n the Sci-Fi Channel at 9 pm tomorrow (Tuesday). Please watch.
