The Launch of the Evolver Social Movement: A personal view

Today we officially launched the Evolver Social Movement. This has been quite a process for us, one fraught with anxiety and also an odd unexpectedly potent sense of enthusiasm and excitement. I find it is causing me to want to personally review what has brought me to this point. What follows is a look back into the distant past and then a consideration of what is now and what may be to come.

Urban gardening in a DIY geodesic dome greenhouse

Last year my wife and I built a very low-cost geodesic dome greenhouse which worked unbelievably well. We totally half-fed our family last summer out of this thing and all right in the middle of the city.

Considering a start-up cost of about $300, this is a great project for anyone who lives in an area in which the climate/grow-season isn't overly hospitable.

Dissent and enemy "belligerents"

Just when you think things can't possibly get any worse, John McCain and Joseph Lieberman, two epic examples of self-propelled human garbage, have come up with this: "enemy belligerents."

What is an " enemy belligerent?"

No one knows. There is no such term in legal language, but here's what can happen to you if you are declared one:

1. arrest without charge

Stepping in the Do Do...Oops

Namaste my brethren. We are being distracted on a massive scale. A covert plan of disunity is being played out to benefit the cabal of corporate Illuminati dominance. Hell bent on enslaving mankind they demand your energy, moreover they dominate your every waking moment. Main stream media is just one engine which they use to develop a motif of distraction, fear, greed and unease.

Welcome to the (Ecuadorian) Jungle

By Nathan Donnelly

The expedition into The Jungle (La Selva) was an even bigger affair than I expected. We had a crew of 15 people. Botanists, ornithologists, guides, cultural diversity experts, camera men, tree climbers, etc. from around Ecuador and the world. Including several people from Humboldt County.

What to do?

Hello everyone. I'm a 17 year old junior in high school, and I was wondering about somethings that I could sacrifice in the outer reality of my life that are practical and would start to help the Earth more? Within the last year I have undergone some inner transformations through the use of psychedelics and occasional meditation.

Evolver blogging expectations

I recenetly realized something about evolver that is a perfect example for communication in general, especially as this evolver type communication becomes far reaching as well as precise.

Security is to Creativity What Kryptonite is to Superman

I could probably end the post with that headline. But I won't.

waves

it's huge - the sea of consciousness. surrounding. carrying. the floating self.

at times it is calm. at others the waves are massive. crashing. breaking on the floating self. when reality bites again.

The Joy Project: Pay It Forward

Giving beyond ego as a shortcut to joy is the brilliance behind the Pay It Forward idea, or what I like to call Radical Generosity. Pay It Forward was a grade B movie some years ago, but I had come across the idea long before, in the summer of 1970, when I was hitchhiking across the country…

Coming Up From the Undersane

There are some wild stories told by the men who've gone mining in that mountain, the wilderness-eyed and wild-haired explorers at the reaches of reality who have found the secret tunnels and the caverns and stared into the chasms, into an abyss that one by one they learned had been staring back the whole time.
