State of the Universe Address 2000by Swami Beyondananda Well, the New Millennium is here, and if you are reading this, I predict we have survived. The Y2K glitch has given us a great opportunity to consider the age-old question, "What are we human beings really like when the chips are down?" and face our fear that when the Big Ball dropped, we would drop the ball. With the Millennial Madness sale finally over, we can now turn our attention from the profits of doom towards that which profits everyone. Discorporate Takeovers Continue UnabatedSpeaking of profits of doom, as was predicted at the beginning of the year, the Monsanto Corporation has abandoned its terminator seed technology on orders from Above. As you may remember, the would-be know-it-alls from that corporate giant decided they wanted to own and manufacture all of the crop seeds worldwide. But a Discorporate Giant nixed the plan. Said a spokesman for the Creator, "Human beings have free will, so of course they are free to play God -- as long as God wins." Like any spiritual transformation, Monsanto's was an inside job. An insider working with the Rockefeller Foundation began to suffer pangs of conscience, the first symptom of awakening compassion. He began to doubt the assertions that Monsanto scientists were wiser than Creation, and decided to air his concerns at a Monsanto board meeting. He secretly instructed the press to be there (before someone else could secretly instruct them not to), and he spilled the soybeans. By the time the spin doctors arrived on the scene, it was too late. The terminator technology had expired. Personally, I see it as a result of all those mass prayers and meditations. The blisskrieg is beginning to pay off. Even the tobacco industry has suffered a bout of conscience, and if this persists it means that any institution is susceptible to awakened compassion. It is said that when a certain number in any group attain Buddha consciousness -- known as the Hundredth Monk theory -- the organization will transform too. And our loving prayers help. The rising esteem from all that love makes the atmosphere more favorable for enlightening to strike. The discorporate takeover is also being felt in our hospitals and HMOs. While the medical establishment insists that nothing works better than allopathic medicine, critics are agreeing that indeed nothing often does. Some recent studies indicate that placebos have higher success rates than certain established medical procedures! And why shouldn't they? Since the atom is 99. 99% empty space, and we are comprised entirely of atoms, are we not more nothing than anything? Although medical authorities scoff at the notion ("Invisible medicine? I just can't see it."), just wait until the HMOs catch on. I predict we'll see more and more practitioners sending their patients off with a placebo and a prayer. Proof of the Power of Prayer
