Indigo Youngsters Hugely Embarrass the French Government 1 March

Indigo and crystalline youngsters hugely embarrass French Government in
big protest and action over homeless.
An extraordinary grass-roots uprising has started as from 16th December
2006 on the banks of the Canal St Martin - a very 'posh' (expensive / up
market) and popular tourist area in Paris. It is being driven by the
expanded consciousness of young people in France who have created a
community action phenomenon which has also greatly embarrassed the French
Government.
Over recent years, France has faced a big problem of the growing number
of homeless on the streets of its cities. From the standpoint of the
French public, it has certainly appeared that their government was doing
little, and perhaps cared even less. Until an initiative by a single, inspired individual (whose name I do not know as yet).
He made an approach to Medecins sans Frontiers, the very pro- active,
French-based international aid group. Between them they hatched a very
high profile plan. Medecins sans Frontiers made available large numbers of
bright red tents, and these were pitched, side by side along the canal,
and shortly after, along both banks of the River Seine in the very centre
of Paris. Homeless from miles away started to come, and on arrival were
each given blankets, and a package of basic necessities.
On the opening day of the project, ordinary householders were invited to
spend a winter night in one of these tents, and fully connect with the
experience. A number accepted and came. They lived with the homeless for
long enough to fully re-connect their compassion for the situation, and to
want to support the action.
Of course, right in the centre of the tourist areas of Paris, and bright
red to boot, this great encampment gave the most public exposure
imaginable to the problem. One can imagine the embarrassment of government
and politicians (if the latter can, indeed, still be embarrassed!)
Then, a very interesting phenomenon occurred. Many other similar
encampments started to spring up on river banks passing through the
centres of many of the larger French cities. Young people, many of whom
were only in their early teens (or even younger), had taken the
initiative. Rather than the young people's protest rioting of a year ago
(which had little benefit as a protest, apart from burning off some
frustration), THIS protest is being highly effective. The problem is now
exposed for all to see, right across the country. Many homeless have been
given better shelter than they have seen for a very long time.
The youngsters have called themselves The Children of Don Quixote (Les
Enfants de Don Quichotte) - I guess upsetting the established social order
to create such action in a positive way is rather like the good Don
tilting at his windmills!
In another somewhat radical move, it is being reported that the same
young people are now helping homeless individuals to fill in all those
forms which allow them to apply for state housing, and start the road back
to becoming 'real people' in the eyes of society once more. They have
formed a supporters organisation - in just ten weeks many thousands have
already joined it and are supporting the youngsters in taking positive
action. The supporters have appealed for jobs, since homelessness and
unemployment are closely linked. Their web site shows some of the many
letters that have flooded in offering all kinds of employment, usually
accompanied by offers of accommodation, meals and payment.
Actually, of course, the homeless are some of the most real people you
will find. They have opted out of the false reality that most of us are
hopelessly submerged in. Of course, some of them have what we might
perceive to be personal challenges, be they social, legal, medical or
financial. Many, though, are there by choice - and they all constitute some
of the bravest people you can meet. After all, would you know how to cope,
out on the street? Would you choose it? Would you even spend one night in a
tent, in the middle of a city, in mid winter?
In one of the videos in the links below, a very earnest young man of
eleven years is interviewed. He speaks of 'not liking to see people with
no shelter on a winter night' and 'the unfairness of the system that
causes this'. He is one of the instigators! INCREDIBLE!
This extraordinary social caring phenomenon which has swept the whole of
France is a coming-together-in-action of the Indigo and Crystal children.
Perhaps they are making their first really large scale public
demonstration. In it, they have taken responsibility for an important
issue that the old paradigm world has no solution for, and feels totally
helpless about. This is a powerful catalytic action for positive change -
let us trust that this protest, and the positive action that goes with it,
will spread to many other countries, as the real compassion of community
consciousness, as demonstrated by the fearless young people who have
supported the action, spreads around the world.
Score one big one for the New Reality! And for the new change team in the
form of these highly connected youngsters!
Let us look for more such action to bring back and enhance the values and
ability to care of a more enlightened society. It moves us sharply away
from the dumb down, no values or standards, drone society the New World
Order would have us living in.

WHEE MD Observations
This is the kind of peaceful initiative that involves people from the heart
the best way to bring about transformation. Even better that children are
involved.
How could each of us copy this in our own city?
