I hail from Singapore and I have written these a few days ago. A friend of mine has introduced me to this wonderful group and I thought I might share what I wrote here.
My group is in its infancy and I have not even bothered to register it with CWG foundation yet. I am getting things moving like defining group policy and setting up an online forum at http://lists.topica.com/lists/cwg_sg/
Anyway, thank you for helping to spread the word and hope you like what I have to share!

Hi,
A few years back in the year 2000, I had written a rather short article on the Internet about why I do not think the Singapore Education works and to oppose the movement gaining momentum at that time to implement compulsory education in the exchanges on the Straits Times forum pages.
I sent this to all the English newspapers as well as to the MOE. The newspaper kept silent, and the MOE gave me a form reply of no substance. Frustrated but not about to give up, I made sure to post that on the Internet. Someone picked this up and soon many websites linked to my article. Someone in the newsgroup about Singapore affairs got a copy of it and started to discuss about it.
Things happened a few months before I entered national Service (against my conscious will, I must add), in mid 2002. One day, while doing an idle search on my name, I encountered these postings. Very soon, I came into contact with a new friend Christopher, who met with me and offered to help me with some proofreading and improvements to a new article I write on the educational system to update my views and provide a more comprehensive analysis than the old article.
He recommended that I read a book called "Conversations with God". Somehow I borrowed them from the library but did not feel inclined to read them yet.
About 1.5 months before I entered NS (compulsory military service), I somehow felt very strongly to read the book. And a delight it was! Each sentence of a concept expanded into tens of sentences, which expanded into tens of thousands of sentences, which merged seamlessly with countless data streams running within my mind. A great delight I must add again.
The concepts came together with a power I have yet to experience before, crystallizing every thought I ever had. My unclear thoughts came into clarity, and thinking back I can see a glow of "white confidence" surround me.
When I entered NS, I entered in bliss. Fortunately so, because life in there smacks of a concentration camp. Without such a cushion I might end up in shock. I did not know that humans subject each other to such cruelty, stripping people of their basic dignity and individuality, and then dishing out detestable treatment, in the name of maintaining peace. It looked like school over again, multiplied a thousand times more intense.
I did not know that there are so many 'nasty' people there waiting to pounce on me, and by that I also mean a lot of members of other platoons. Not in my wildest imagination could I imagine that such terrors existed. Yet I found myself in the deep of them. Strangely, I also found people in complete denial of them, claiming that they had it much worse than I could possibly have experienced.
But my own platoon mates protected me, and somehow I was protected from the ravages including a terrible sore throat that robbed me of my voice momentarily by the time I left. In five days I would get out of living hell and into somewhere more acceptable to me.
For the next few months, an amazing inner growth took place, shielded from the view of other people. I would seem the same, but I know I am different. Without my knowing it, CWG has prepared me for extraordinary experiences yet to come.
In December 2002, when I have an extraordinary spiritual experience that opened up my "eyes" to that beyond this physical world, and completely reversed all my 'scientific' beliefs and my ridicule of 'New Age' rubbish. When I saw and experienced, and then did things I did not know I could do, I cannot help but believe.
The book speaks the truth. When you experience truth, you know immediately that it is true. All the concepts became truth, and reality to me. I begin to truly remember.
Many months would pass as more and more extraordinary experiences came into my life, meeting more and more extraordinary friends, and doing more and more extraordinary things. Most of the experiences are private to me, and I shall not share them inappropriately.
Yet I can say that some of these experiences included me seeing visions of my life work, my role in this world, and the nature of reality. I see clearly what I had chosen to do, manifested. I see my dream of building a new society become reality. Not just that, but more of what I would do, manifested. It made me feel excited to begin to do it, to speed towards that reality right here and now.
[Side note: I started feeling dissatisfied with our current understanding of societies and social systems in the year 2000. I had a fall out with a Libertarian group when they flamed me for calling their thinking flawed and incomplete. I then decided to build my own theory of society building.
CWG helped me clarify some of the most fundamental parts, but otherwise left out a lot of information. By analogy, CWG has some of the alphabets, but not enough to make sentences, and definitely nothing barely resembling an essay. Yet it shows hints for the way forward. As I read I could see the complicated concepts click together, but I have yet to find time to write these down coherently.
It did helped me realize this: The people of this world do not see how a high functioning society would look like, for their history shows and hints of nothing of this. Yet I have seen, and I do remember. This type of advanced society is so common, and the knowledge on building it so taken for granted, that it feels strange how an entire civilization of 6 billion people have never thought of it. But these people cannot build what they cannot see, cannot handle what they cannot feel. I realized that I am here not to suffer, but to show them how to do it.]
It took me some time to get used to these, and to get used to acting from remembrance. Sometimes I wondered if I have gone out of my mind, and indeed I have (in a positive sense). It helped me quite a lot to meet people like Heiko and Selina who helped me to awaken further and release my limiting thoughts [www.ireleasenow.com]. I felt much more carefree, not feeling that I am carrying a heavy burden (Jesus and his cross comes to mind) that no one else seems to see.
Still most people do not understand what I mean, and from experience I choose only to share to the extent that they are ready to listen. People physically close to me, like most of my co-workers and my parents, still have no idea what happened to me. I intend to keep it that way, until the time comes.
In the past, I found this experience intolerable. I found it so strange to live in this world of hatred, of differences, of apathy, of restrictions and a total reversal of what is natural.
I find it strange for people to describe others in terms of skin color, religious beliefs or political affiliation. I found the lifestyle, the thought processes and the culture of the people so alien, their understanding of science and technology so primitive, and their actions so dangerous.
CWG has helped me to realize why that it so, how I could accept it, and how I could bring about a change to that. CWG has helped me remember Who I Am, has returned my calling to me and has brought me to Where I Am now. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all those who have helped make this beautiful and perfect miracle happen.
After all these has happened, I believe that the time has come for me to return my gratitude and share some of what I have back in a public way.
Many a times, I had spoken to people privately and it has brought me immense joy making them joyful through remembrance of the Divine.
But this time I will start to speak more publicly. I broached the idea with my friend Christopher. He said he will help support me. Knowing this feeling, I called for the opportunity to arise. It is now waiting for your reply. Please participate if you consider it a high enough priority in your life.
Thanks to God, I have already secured a place at New Age Circle [www.newagecircle.com] for this coming Monday and/or Tuesday evening from 6:30pm to 9pm. No payment required, but donations (to the shop and organizer) happily accepted. Interested parties, please email me with your mobile contact to confirm by Sunday or I might have to call off the event.
Thank you for spending the time to listen to what I have to say.
FYI, you can find some outdated info on me at http://eric.webhop.net I intend to overhaul my website before the end of June this year to accurately reflect the massive changes that had happened to me.
