Our Purpose
Our intent is to provide you with timely news and resources from the
leading edge of human achievement. The conventional media focuses almost
entirely on individual or collective human failure and dysfunction. While this
represents only a tiny fraction of the human experience, it dominates the media
and therefore molds our individual thoughts and collective consciousness. Since
we know that "form follows thought," it is only logical that as we continue to
collectively focus on failure, we will continue to create more of the same.
The world faces many challenges and it is important to acknowledge these and
deal with them. The conventional press and most of the alternative press are
doing an excellent job of bringing these to our attention.
Our intent is to report on events, activities, achievements, project and
people who represent the highest and best of human endeavor and what we can
achieve, both individually and collectively. We believe that this represents the
true nature of who we are.
Our purpose is not only to inform and inspire, but to provide cross cultural
models from around the world as to what people are doing to solve world problems
and create new options.
Positive News completely shares these aims and objectives with those of GVN.
We see the Global Village as those throughout the world who have seen a vision
of a new era and are dedicated into bringing it into reality.

Positive News was handed the guardianship
of Global Village News and Resources in summer of 2004. Although we would like
to continue to make the archives available to subscribers and readers we would
like to point out that stories published prior to issue 89 were not under our
editorial guidance and would like to make a distinction that these are not
necessarily a reflection of the current opinions of our editorial team.
In The News…
Baffled Scientists Begin To
Question Crop Circle Origins
Global - Last summer crop circles were in the news with the
release of the movie "Signs." This time around, the San Francisco Bay
Area has been graced with the real thing, and we are on a roll. The
recent design found in a Rockville wheat field in Solano County appears
to be the largest one ever reported in the United States and has
attracted hundreds of visitors. And just this week, a second one
appeared in Vacaville.
Scientific analysis of the formations’ plants and soils, in
comparison to controls from elsewhere in the field, will help local
investigators determine if the crop circles was simply made by stealthy
humans flattening plants with boards. Many believe that this is the only
possible explanation.

Humor
Wake Up Laughing
www.wakeuplaughing.com
Swami Beyondananda's 'om page,' "Wake Up Laughing" is where healing
laughter and “new edge” comedy meet. For years we have been learning
that laughter in and of itself has proven physiological benefits.
Laughter produces endorphins, our body’s natural painkiller. Laughter
improves immune function. Hearty laughter is literally good for the
heart, because when we laugh it causes our blood vessels to dilate. And
that is certainly better than having them die early!

Prosperity
Prosperity From The Inside-Out

This web site introduces a unique integration of the spiritual and
material paths to prosperity -- a true "best of both worlds" approach.
It is an approach that operates within a new paradigm -- a paradigm that
emphasizes the importance of both inner and outer fulfillment (versus
success through fear, stress, struggle and overwork.)
