Who Are Creative Change Makers?

Creative Change Makers are a particular group of people, yet they exist in all walks of life; they’re committed to personal and planetary change, yet they work, love & play like everyone else; they are intensely individual, yet understand the power of working as a subjective group to create positive change.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CREATIVE CHANGE MAKERS

Creative Change Makers is One

On December 11, 2008 Creative Change Makers was officially launched with about 30 inspired individuals who made contact with other change makers over fine food from The Locavore Stirling, and organic wine from Temple Bruer in Langhorne Creek, both in South Australia.

From that day we’ve steadily matured, but we’re still young and loving the journey of discovery.

Join us in celebrating a little local initiative which, thanks to the Web, has a global reach.

We’re doing it; with or without you. So join us if you dare.

To all Creative Change Makers….

Happy Birthday, you’re fab.

Caroline, Sienna & webmaster Steve

Why Do We Pay Interest On Borrowed Money?

Is there a way we can pay for our basic needs – a home, fridge, TV and car – without having to pay back the principle and interest on our purchase?

Interest is the price we pay for the money we borrow. Those who lend us the money see themselves as giving up the advantage of having that cash – the liquidity advantage of money – so they charge a percentage on the principal loaned to us to compensate themselves for losing the benefit of having the cash to use.

So interest creates money for the lender without their actually producing anything for it. According to some thinkers, charging interest, or usury, violates natural law.

Mars Goes Direct & the Autumn Equinox

Today (Oz time) 12 March 2010, Mars finally pulls himself out of his disoriented, groggy state – after attempting a backwards run for the last 3 months. I reckon we may need some blessings, as he awakens from his stupor!

Who is Mars?
For those of you less familiar with the characters of the planetary beings – Mars is full steam ahead energy. He’s also the God of War. He gives us our vitality, the energy to do things. He influences the way we assert ourselves, how we direct our energy. He also inspires motivation – he loves to move, as fast as possible.
Physically Mars rules over our strength – our muscles, blood, adrenal glands and head (Aries). As well as our libido. Mars has a strong relationship with our ‘fight-or-flight’ mechanism. He also, like Neptune, influences the way we create our boundaries. Mars asserts his boundaries (hence the God of War), Neptune often dissolves them.
When our Martian energy is weakened we have difficulties creating our boundaries and expressing our will – this ‘internalises’ his energy – often then creating frustration, anger or depression (internalised anger) – playing havoc with our liver. Or we can suffer from fear and anxiety – stressing our adrenals.
Either way, as you can see – trying to suppress Mars takes its toll on you and your body.
