FOREWORD BY DONNA J. FENNEL
Greetings, my friends. This is Donna J. Fennel, founder, owner, administrator and designer of Donnadreamland. Welcome to my humanitarian lair of care. It is a heart-harming and alarming fact that humanity has been dolefully forging his own tomb since he left his mother's nurturing womb. As you know, susceptible, ailing planet Earth, its vulnerable atmosphere and the delicate species of humankind face irreversible, irreparable, indisputable and incomprehensive worldwide doom unless humankind enacts a realistic, comprehensive, cooperative and immediate global emergency peace plan soon. The emergence of stabilized world peace should ensure his survival, in light of what appears to be the onslaught of end times as speculated by some people and archives, based on the documentation cited in the Bible's Book of Revelation and other significant global sources proclaiming that humanity's and Earth's final hour is nigh. Is humankind riding high on the range of the Bible's Book of Revelation and similar prophecies, or can man's "future according to history" be completely rewritten or at least revised for survival's sake? Is it possible that he could be the editor in chief of that which has become the digest for some with respect to their living standard and dogma, the apocalyptic content archived in the Bible's Book of Revelation? Is this planet destined for "hellfire and damnation" despite repentance and reparation? These are intriguing questions which have most certainly been pondered over millennia. Can we alter what is perceived by many as our doleful destiny? Your world deserves a second chance at survival, and does not need to succumb to what some perceive as inevitable extinction because you have the mind, might and means to change this. Those who are spiritual should make atonement with their Higher Power and Inner Self, while concurrently respecting others' belief systems and making amends with their human family. Humanity, we are all who are left of our circle now and it will not get any better, for our species and planet, unless we enact an immediate, globally cooperative world peace plan and pact through proactive individual and groupwide measures.
From the relatively brief path of a person’s lifetime, there evolves a wellspring of individuals whose contributions to humanity are so exceptional that they truly alter the course of human history in a positive sense. Dr. Carl Sagan (1934-1996), acclaimed 20th century scientist, astronomer, pioneer of exobiology and SETI, professor, Pulitzer Prize laureate, author, essayist, researcher, doubting Thomas, lecturer, successful television series host and exceptional visionary was one of these extraordinary people. Perhaps one of the greatest astronomers of our time (and one of my heroes), Dr. Carl Sagan phrased it best when he proclaimed that this [Earth] is a "demon haunted world" we live in [indeed]. He was a steadfast critic of pseudoscience and perceived by many as a legend and luminary in his own time. Dr. Sagan empowered humanity's senses through his ground-breaking scientific compilation and research alongside his reflective philosophy and visionary words of wisdom, while piquing our curiosity and his own with respect to his indisputable and intuitive "The cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be ..." declaration by way of his revolutionary, futuristic theories, brilliant invention and implementation of cutting edge technologies, cohesive, extensive clinical research, profound observations and insightful, rhetorical human expression. His practical scientific and personal attributes, landmark achievements and innumerable contributions to humanity remain immortalized, as well as progressively researched and adopted by the scientific community, some milestones of which are still blazing trails exposing exciting, unexplored frontiers in the fields of astronomy, cosmology, astrophysics, physics, metaphysics and quantum mechanics among other sciences and notable disciplines of study.
His content and precepts always clearly, precisely, passionately and keenly delivered, Dr. Carl Sagan had timeless, heartfelt emotional connection with his audience, while he remained intensely in touch with the pulse and essence of Earth's evolution and its correlation with the cosmos. Although some of his cumulative thought remains to this day debated, borderline, analyzed and respected by several, Dr. Sagan fearlessly took a leap of faith, for humanity's sake, when it came to self expression through education, while voyaging beyond the mind's boundaries towards answers. For this I believe he deserves acclamation and respect. At a time when the human saga is now undergoing a major transformation, we are fortunate to have been blessed with the mind and fortitude of Dr. Sagan who, amongst the legendary legions, paved the way towards finding answers to his mystifying yet ingenious "... all that is, or ever was, or ever will be ..." notable historic statement. He generously and magnanimously shared what he believed to be true, as we all must do. There are few among men who hold the dual title of "soldier of [good] fortune" ("soldier" in this context defined as a humanitarian mercenary) and "bard of fortune" (visionary, philosopher, historian and storyteller) for both roles can be applied, in a humane mercenary quest sense, to the degree that they can help humanity in the war against global extinction through groupwide education and cooperation. The "fortune" used in this metaphorical sense, and reaped from this type of dedicated world emissary service, translates as merciful missions towards aiding man that are priceless, precious and few. Throughout my reading of Dr. Sagan's vast, insightful, amazing literature, I concur that what we are seeking seems to be simultaneously seeking us in a cosmic sense. May we be fortunate enough to witness more persons owning this rare, humane and harmonious dual "fortune" mercenary kinship in the days ahead, in order for world peace to be spread and the resulting pilgrimage to forge ahead. Indeed, it will take a peaceful world legion of faith, trust and love for the global harmony pilgrimage to be viewed from the cosmos above.
Dr. Carl Sagan entered a less-traveled path where no other person had thought during his lifetime while his steadfast research, no-nonsense methodologies, practical, thought-provoking testimonies and mind-expanding awareness remind us that there exists a symbiotically complex realm of unknown universes we have yet to unveil on Earth, in the mind of man and in the mind of God, before we could ever begin to comprehend the cosmos, our origins and ourselves, and the direction we must take, as a unified humanity, for our evolution to progress in accordance with the grand design and shift in consciousness while maintaining balance in the cosmos. To this end, we could conceivably and ideally come to terms with our actual correlation therein and, ultimately, our true purpose and destiny, with the prayerful achievement of becoming joyfully unified races of humankind while saving our planet and selves from ourselves. Here I wish to share one of my "Donnaism" quotations:"Why are we here, where do we belong now, and will we ever discover the truth beyond our evolutionary youth?" As vast as these questions are, I am confident that we all wish we could find the answers to these big three, accounting for why I write a trove of philosophical essays and poems leaning towards controversial subjects yet reflectively playing with these intriguing concepts and human potential, while seeking the answers alongside you. Pooling together our ideas, expressions and collective consciousness, as I have done throughout this website, will help keep the wellspring of our worldview interconnected, flowing and growing, the depths into which our minds swim wherefrom we theoretically become a humanity consciously knowing.
From his star now beaming in what I assume is the farthest galactic shore of his dreams and discoveries, resuming his cosmic voyage as he gazes upon the Earth of his perpetual perception, may Dr. Sagan finally rest in peace, knowing that someday we will be in harmony with the cosmos of his lifelong exploration and dedication in the truest sense. He was and remains, in spirit, one of several hands who have touched the minds, hearts and lives of humankind over time. His passionate scientific thought, and remarkable, mind-expanding philosophy, live as a timeless pulsation to ignite the inferno of one's imagination while fostering wisdom. He was way ahead of his time, while becoming a legendary icon in his time. Dr. Sagan and his legacy remind us to grasp the concept of the natural state of ourselves, including the natural state of life, perhaps beyond the very stars that we wish upon from which we came. Thus, we soon realize that vision and exploration are what give meaning to our lives and our purpose on Earth, enmeshed in the cosmic breast, while instilling each of us to aspire beyond our limits and empower unforeseen obstacles through ascended intelligence, integrity, inspiration and intuition. I offer my own opinion in stating that when we cooperatively work together, it is the activated cohesive, enduring and vital positive energy that allows us to remain motivated, connected and productive, while our heart and intuition consciously amalgamate and appreciate that which is ultimately real as we converge with the omnipresent Universal Life Force ... the all-powerful, unparalled, life-sustaining, benevolent and surrounding energy (in metaphysical circles, sometimes referred to as the "divine matrix" in the cosmos) hosting a trove of treasure without measure, within fingertip reach of those who seek it through earnest, groupwide combined heart and mind.
In summary, I believe that the below quotations of Dr. Carl Sagan were meant to lend us his encouraging word while revealing, what I concur, was his rarely expressed yet profoundly enigmatic, inherent and subtly emerging human character:
"For small creatures such as we, the vastness is bearable only through love."
-- Carl Sagan (1934-1996)
"When you make the finding yourself - even if you're the last person on Earth to see the light - you'll never forget it."
-- Carl Sagan (1934-1996)
My insightful poetic assertion to follow considers the possibilities towards ensuring Earth and man's survival while exposing painful human, spiritual, consciousness and environmental frailties that will one day be healed by our proactive peace and environmental preservation efforts, differing somewhat from the alarming testimonies that the prophecies of visionaries spanning millennia have foretold proclaiming that Earth [as we know it] will be destroyed forever, cast into the cosmic abyss of a transient and trembling universe that we once called home. The translation of many of these astounding prophetic assertions reveals that their visionary authors told it as they saw it, not necessarily with the intent to offer hope for recovery of Earth and its susceptible human, animal and ecological dependents, lending credence to why many of today's huddled masses have already accepted defeat towards the emergency task of preserving this planet facing peril, impervious as to how to solve the global emergency for they have yet to be directly involved in Earth's rescue through proactive world peace, ecological and environmental preservation measures. I concur that we are only at the mercy of potential, all-inclusive Earth extinction insofar as the limitation of that which the average human mind is capable of perceiving while in its present consciousness state. Alas, the universe does not try to remain in harmony with humanity for it is not, as I call it, a "humaniverse"; yet we need to somehow maintain balance with the universe, by way of species and environmental preservation here, in order to safeguard our continued evolution while purvyeing a protected planet for future generations. I firmly believe that cooperative global consciousness expansion, alongside other feasible world peace actions, could conceivably foster a brave new world of realistic global harmony solutions for this trained ascended consciousness process, on a cooperative global level, yields untapped potential towards accelerating the level of world peace that we and our children seek in our hearts. We are on a poignant yet perilous voyage searching for immediate relief, while the encroaching worst patiently waits as it sharpens its blade to wield in the darkest of shade, I am afraid.
Although the following may foster commentaries and queries alongside global controversy, I deliver it to you with love, respect, honesty, honor, understanding and mercy. My authored effort to follow is infused with realism, practicality, compassion, consideration and awareness, hoping I could enlighten you with respect to the worldwide danger that is concurrently at hand (during this time, in your time), the solutions of which are at humankind's cooperative and proactive global command. Humanity must stop burying his heads in the sand and start shaking hands, while preserving the empathy, ethnicities, ecology and economy of his endangered lands, before it is too late and he is forced to accept Earth and his abominable extinction as his inevitable fate. My keen observations of what are possible truths and realities, below, are painfully addressed through a mode by which I believe the soul and spirit must grow, as the One would have us know. Alongside you, my friend, I pray that someday a universally joyful spirit of humankind will be birthed from the progressive wellspring of proactive world peace measures taken towards rescuing Earth and its precious dependents, including you and your family. Accomplish the incredible to avoid what you perceive as inevitable, with respect to saving our world. Believe in the beauty and potential of your dreams, for they hold the key to Earth's salvation.
Remind yourself that this is your world's present state, and you offer this to your future generations, if there is a future here left for them. Although there are more galaxies than human beings and we are outnumbered, we are more than DNA and matter, we matter and to heck with what the cosmos thinks. Know when to act and when to snap out of a dream in order to attain human maturity. Recognize that the poet exposes their soul and store while embracing the hopeful vision of what may become preserved as literary lore, while exposing a new imagery of shores to explore. Kindly allow me to offer another of my "Donnaism" quotations: "While we reach for the stars to one day connect with them, may we recall that we are star voyagers, on a timeless journey homeward as an endless, cosmic ray of benevolent being moving towards the Light." May you come to realize this, while you receive all that is best and blessed and hope beams like a beacon of the Light excess in your breast. May love, empathy, compassion and respect guide you towards what you will know in your heart is best. As a cordial closing gesture, I am honored to thank you for being my most welcome of cyber guests. God Bless.
It is time to wonder whether or not you are prepared to take The Voyage Home®:
Subtle imagery and simile born from spellbinding words and wand ~
Of a muse whose views and clues now drain dry my chosen chalice.
Poultice poured on sores and stores thaws tears forming an icy pond ~
Evolved from a hailstorm and a maelstrom millennia of mortal malice.
Tho verse intrudes it is meant to soothe, infused with consoling news ~
For from what descends as dusk of dust will emerge as peace and trust.
Wafting in a breeze born from love will come comfort from all above ~
And while time appears to be standing still, they will see to what is just!
Heaven acts as a balm of beacon, where hosts proclaim His holy name ~
As the Magistrate views the Gate through which He will exit once again.
Maintaining composure, while seeking closure to the sinful mortal game ~
His Hour of departure is being arranged for the Great Exodus, my friend.
The Charter has been prepared for the martyrs who have paid their share ~
By a Benevolence, who walks alongside those who wish Him to receive.
While treasures not of material form abound for one whose joy is found ~
When one is divinely brought to his knees, for nevermore will he grieve.
In yonder distance, I hearken the heinous haunt of a lion’s prideful roar ~
As ozone infiltrates humanity’s feeble lungs, longing for relief and more.
From vista fleeting and frightening is birthed lightening, leaping to shore~
To rouse those who doubt and go without love and mercy toward the poor.
Phantasms emerge from chasms in Earth’s core heading towards the shelf ~
Merciless mercenaries serving the dark side, ready to execute the final ride.
For on this day a soulless child was born, whose innocence was whelped ~
By a ruthless fiend whose scheme was to cast the lot into rot, above all else.
Yet through mulled scenes of garnet and gray, all will witness the Coming ~
While locusts are humming, and His angels are strumming an array of lyres.
‘Midst the tumult and throes, He who has pardoned those will offer loving ~
And eternal rest for all blessed to go home, drying cesspool of toxic tears.
As a sleepy Solaris falls to his knees, a dark proxy enters of worst degree ~
When brightest Light provides Divine Path illume piloting towards the end.
Bold cold will no longer shroud the crowd crying for clemency as dying plea ~
For these resting rays depend upon that which you ask your God, my friend!
A weary harvest moon wanes soon, as frost-kissed mists adorn the gourds ~
Silhouetted by yearling fawns in scores, traversing balding lawns of umber.
When all peace options are explored, while lending leeway for open doors ~
Terra firma in view will grow most vivid of hue, feigning off ferocious thunder.
When the sunlight grows dim, hearken every footstep and heed every whim
While the intuition aroused within guides men of every race, color and creed ~
Over path towards peace and good will, no longer climbing on a gnarled limb.
Some with guns will hum a battle hymn, vendetta towards men of good deed.
Time comes when some who made their brothers dead will try to run in dread ~
Viewing Luna of a scarlet hue, precursor to their destined hour of desolation.
For he who believes and receives, helping men down route where he was led ~
Others also yearning to walk the path of Light will walk with him in exaltation.
Beware of the Second Seal from prophecy, for this is to unleash such atrocity ~
Not witnessed by your kind until then, when the Red Horse will ride once again.
Arrives the hour when one of men will artfully advance with skill and animosity ~
Played in a masquerade of peaceful charade, deceiving those he will befriend.
The world peace zenith is still in reach, before closing bow to the One is done ~
When nations rise beside nations, instead of against them towards demise.
And hands of men are bound by alliance token, instead of hands grown numb ~
With bound fingers broken, when the Final Covenant is spoken from the skies.
Only change will deliver your planet from an encroaching end, precious friend ~
While you watch over one another, and nurture Mother Earth back to her health.
When close of seasons turn, rejoice one day reaping the rewards justly earned ~
From the honorable lesson you will have learned of world respect, above all else.
Now these are inner visions I have seen through the clearest of eye and mind ~
I wager that if man does not waver, Earth will smile because he saved her.
Bring to Light the heart and inner Self, to fully accept your entire humankind ~
For you walk a fine line in this time, whose dismal outcome could well be major.
Take comfort in the pillow of my angel wings, while you rest your weary head ~
For much here has been said and spread, enough to induce disquiet and dread.
This serves as our future scenario to you, if humanity does not follow through ~
With an emergency plan for world peace, lest this prediction might come true.
Tho soul and shoal have been spoiled by time, be it not cause for bated breath ~
For the Earth solution will be attained through absolution on a worldwide plane.
And when the plan for peace has been well met, man will have paid his debt ~
Enough to reclaim what he dutifully regained, sparing his voyage home again.
