I had lunch yesterday with my best friend of over thirty years. He is being treated with chemotherapy for leukemia and has other health challenges, too. At one point in the conversation John told me that despite the physical torture of his treatment, he has never been so happy. He said, “All the crap, the fears and anger just disappeared, and I feel freer than I ever have in my life.”
Today I'll write about Trees again.
Tree's energies are beyond anything one can imagine. Really, who would of thought that Trees feel that way!
It's about creativity, an inspiration from within. When you connect with a tree it will provide you with child like play, with joy and love too.
It's like falling into a calm and rich dream.
What have we done, gone further towards forever than ever before? Or is this just the beginning of reliving what has evolved into lore? Where did the mystery start? A spark far off in the blackness of some serene void of unity, separated amid the light and the spheres, the shadows and the tears. We contend to convince of what is true when we know nothing beyond our personal convictions.
This little film shows Tuesday's simulcast between the London and New York OCCUPY communities. I flew out to the encampment at St. Paul's Cathedral, and we sang the 99% song together, across the Atlantic - what a wonderful moment! That made the whole London visit worth it - when Londoners held up a sheet to show the Stop Shopping Choir from Wall Street.

Whenever I visit the site of Kilcrea Abbey & castle Co. Cork Ireland, I wonder about the lives of the people who lived there 500 years ago. At the start of this film Terrence McKenna is speaking about the Rig Veda of ancient Hinduism. Apparently a lot of old knowledge has been lost in India. He goes on to talk about the book burning at the Alexandria library.
...yesterday, when the Moon was in a trine aspect to Neptune and also when the Moon via Transit, entered my 12th house of my Lunar Return chart, something vuuuuury mysterious began to envelop me......
Ancient myth actually allowed for anomalies like Zombies, Vampires, Giants ect... Of course they didn't know it as myth, no because of the fact that ancient people (rural people especially) were unaware of the reality model handed down by The Romans, these apparent fairytales were a part of life, facts.
We all want to know what is going on. What is life? What is the purpose? What is religion?
For a while now I've posted about chakras, energy, spiral dynamics, ken wilber, conspiracy, and illuminati - then this past week I have been tossing around the idea of ETHOS...

Every relationship begins with trust in each other. Without the initial trust, the relationship will not move forward. In the beginning, one believes without much proof about the others character. It is love and some assessment of how trustworthy the person is. As the relationship grows, fissures start forming because of doubts about whether the other person can be trusted.
I worked for an amazing visionary artist in Costa Rica named Jan Betts. Her work is extraordinare and her energy is medicine to whom she is around. Her art work changed my view on the spirit of nature and while I was working with her I learned many things.
Perspective can make or break us in this life. Some of us tend to inflate ourselves with ego and others wallow in self-pity seeing themselves as a nobody. Our culture on the other hand has no qualms with perceiving our species as being the King Kong of our world, we are the king shit, we stomp on the small guys and have no problems with it.

In recent days we have challenged the devils in the Deutschbank in Dusseldorf, and the ING and UBS in Amsterdam, and HSBC in Liverpool - laying our hands on the cash machines and calling our demons. What are these exorcisms? Why these muscular hexing prayers at the ATM? Of course the big banks have their famous bad practices - redlining, foreclosures, demolitions of communities.
As The Church of Earthalujah takes off for our European tour, Reverend Billy gets a lesson in hysterical revolution from British activists and his one-year-old daughter.
