Maya Night

Interpretations and translations require clear self reflection and coordination.  You can start now with your internal compass; imagine the color black, still your physical body and feel consciousness envelop you materially and energetically.  The polarity of night allows the potential for the bright ideas and quite literal, the sunlight.

In Birgitte Rasine's The Serpent And The Jaguar the sacred Tzolkin calendar (260 days of thirteen tones and twenty day sign iterations) is translated and somewhat interpreted with a solid introduction that gives a good framework.  "Honor your sleep!" sums up the day of 'one night'.  Two night, or Ka Akabal, explains night in relation to duality. Additionally, all iterations help weave the wisdom of the trecena, the tone, and the days sign into a comprehensible whole.  Her readings are posted online and essentially match the book ver batum.  Facebook Mayan Portal Calendar or there is an app that offers more...have only briefly seen that.

Apparently, the two hundred and sixty day Tzolkin calendar combines agriculture and spiritual cycles; cosmic and material, voids and bulls eyes.  Another hundred days balance out the practice of planting and such with celebration and rituals.  Then five days every solar year, I believe, they think of as 'days off' for fine tuning and alignment or balancing.  The accuracy is astonishing.  There are counts of astronomy cycles and may be almost twenty calendars they used interlocking.  The idea that prayer is a way to balance the physical worlds spiraling future is almost overwhelming but there it is.
Thirteen day periods called trecenas, among other things, reflect the thirteen junctions of the body.  Symbolic and representative of ideas or energy.  For example one is unity, two - duality, three - action or receptivity, all the way to thirteen called ascension.  The Tzolkin weaves a torus shape, like a donut, between the representation of twenty day signs with thirteen tones.  Interpretations and translations are key to finding ones own way.

Carlos Barrios, Shaman and Member of the Mayan Elder Council, wrote The Book Of Destiny Unlocking the Secrets of the Ancient Mayans and the Prophecy of 2012 after finding a calling to study with the Maya people.  His book covers many different subjects and clarifies misinterpretations and misrepresentations.  Destiny, conception, complimentary, harmonious, right and left hemisphere signs help illustrate relations to other signs.  He explains the positive and negative aspect of each sign as well.  The sign night seems to be a very lucky sign and 'a sign of constant renewal and hope during difficult times, but those born under it will also have to struggle with a duel nature." 

Ariel Spilsbury's The Mayan Oracle: Return Path to the Stars combines Celtic, Wicca and other mythos into the Tzolkin.  She identifies the "shadow" like Jungian, specifically the night may be 'lost in self, being too inward'.  But encourages similar to other readings to go bravely into the void because that is where all potential exists.  Harmonic wisdom is described as "integration, the fusion of seemingly different aspects into a unified whole".  Chiuso meaning "a closed humming' in Italian or blending of three primary energies including 1. you, 2. the resonance in combination with the sound of creation in the Crocodile and 3. the spiritual essence of the wind"...the previous two signs, with the crocodile being what Spilsbury learned to be the first day sign.  "Cupo meaning dark deep or obscure and amabile meaning sweet tender or gentle are other musical adjectives to describe the energy of Akabal.  She states that by letting your minds eye visualize these qualities together in meditation the sign offers you peaceful sanctuary to just be.

Cue Mex Music: The most famous music the music we all recognize. From the south we have a song with three chords. 1, 2 and 4 of the chromatic scale or music's famous C, C#, and Eb, represent unity and love, duality and facilitating change, and stability and connection or relationship. So enjoy learning the old tunes and their meanings.

Da Bears Den (DBD1)

Have you ever seen a Papa Bear and a Mama Bear sleep in the den?  Few have. In jest the only ones to have are cool cats.  Not even a fox escapes a bear den for two.  Even Goldie Lox found the house unoccupied while the bears where on traveling.  But sleep together in the same den, no one did report, but cool cats.

Letting go without throwing it all away
And using without being a user
Settling for disassociating with dispositions

Post Modern Economics, and tell em' we're coming.

Post-modern economics or wiki's entry on post-capitalism have illuminated just where we are today. Economics doesn't explain the current situation any more clearly than the good books and pundits. Still if you are here and now, you can see for yourself what is going on. And that is just what the market requires: Bartering and appreciation of value, knowledge and interest in the basics as well as the finer things.

Below you will see the two main points key for resolution to achieve a market, local and global. They not only support but facilitate development, however you may define that. It is as much about us individually as collectively. The adage "think globally and act locally" has meaning we must remember and know.

So when the relationship broke from planting the seeds for the future of mankind to fighting over the fruits of our labor, the kernel of knowledge was reaped that shows us it will grow with or without us. My belief is that beyond sorting ownership and efficient allocation issues out, the markets as well as the ecology will resume operations beautifully.

Past economic theory wrongly thought or promoted these topics as already defined. The case is still open though. Law as we know it shows itself to be created by man. Not even woman has spoken on this issue of ownership: They who play by the rules anyway.

With your help, the case could take a turn so that the shared understanding of the "tree of life" belonging to everyone, symbolically and literally, as well that everyone must serve in their own capacity to protect, if not only tread lightly, on life, to simply continue the conversation.

In western economic theory, ownership is benefit or asset, an equation, matter of liability or a question of responsibilities and irresponsibility. I can't speak for Easterners, multi-generational natives or non-Westerners, but usury and the comprehension of owning is more likely related to belonging. Maybe the focus that we're indebted to only the Earth and Sun, and belong to the Earth more than the Earth belongs to us.

This line of reasoning or set of values and core beliefs have an immense impact on how an economy would function. Ideally there would be room for ownership, along with all it's benefits and liabilities. And a production market, above and beyond the material needs, where service and information economies grow to suit those who understand the whole picture. By the whole picture I mean that it would be only fair to gamble that which you have to gamble with. This action requires understanding more than is required now, before being able to so easily manipulate world markets. Business would not be required to be of prime interests to the majority, no more than minding your own business is today...with the current very marginal returns. This is not and could not be dictated or governed, controlled by few or by all, government or bank. Lord knows we've been trying but without the need maybe for those responsible for trying so hard to be tried we can settle for fair practices and conscientious decisions from here on.

Regarding efficient allocation: It's 'efficient' if factoring out what economics calls externalities: Costs not paid for directly or a cost usually added to the public or entire economy / ecology. The risk and costs have been acceptable because of miscalculations and ignorance of the efficacy of full disclosures.

But today it's clear: The cost of energy reveals the inefficiency in transportation, trade and production. When foreign policy and local economies mix we end up competing with everyone. That sets the stage for the bad effects of globalisation. When foreign policy and local economics are distilled, the benefit of a outside revenue or input is sometimes invaluable.

Finally, economic theory assumes perfect information. This is something we can take action with today. As we allow the issues of ownership and efficient allocation to settle, we can inform ourselves easily just by putting the wish to do so first. Above all is the creation of a future in which we are happy and adjusted, where we and our kids are in balance better than our check books.

Looking at the books, but not always by the books:

Bottom of the Market: Nowhere to go but O that magic feeling.

Bottom of the 11th. 2 outs to go. Is it deeper into left field or everything on red? Here's the pitch, the ball's left the invisible hand. It looks straight but it's a curve. The batter rises and the catcher is in the right.

Take an other angle on this pitch in time, to see which way the stitches are spun on that base-ball. Is there something to be cheering for here? There are losers among us. We share the same stadium with them. The same urinals and emergency exits.

Hell O World. Where were you all my life?
Ground under pushin' up Daisy?
You don't say.
What now?
Dance? At a time like this?
There's no time.
Like the present?

As utilities rise
And solar price set
The bottom of the market is
Where we get wet

Investments have a way today without paying respects to zero's.

Summary : The Net Works betta

So the summary of the thoughts and interests of the previous posts is that the net works. It only requires that we get 'online' and start communing. Still most are busy and preoccupied with holding on to the material which is not objectionable, just a 'bit' of a waste.

The idea is to get efficient at going from the 5th dimension or higher dimensions, down to the physical and then go right back up. Surfing the web or a real wave, we've got to just 'do it'.

Finally this communication doesn't require the net but it is sometimes definitely easier when you are here and they are there. The world is flat, but still I'll see you around.

Revisit the texts

The tragedy of the commons is based on false assumptions. Namely humans are rational and also selfish to the point that competition appears a better choice than cooperation. Game theory is even still stuck in the rules that were made when WE weren't calling the shots. Isn't it time to revisit the texts?

...to live on the far parameter of a world that might have been

Hunter S. Thompson wrote and spoke exactly what was to be seen. Following his instincts and intellect, accepting the missions and omitting the admissions that we all share, he takes it a step forward, a little to the side and onwards and upwards. He spent his energy eluding and focus alluding to those who whisper the secrets. Those which are known to all but spoken by only leaders, and whispered by traders inside with shares of the alchemical pot.

The lid on that can doesn't always require being blown off in order to know that a flush is needed. But a cork on a bottle neck will be properly lanced once the room is cleaned, if the lid should lift alone and the shits hit the fan.

Eternally pessimist and in all ways a daemon tango dancer extra ordinate, Hunter S. Thompson shall ride on in the hearts and minds, souls and bones of those who are in the know of how to unclog a toilet without such a fuss. Hence the world that might have been, still may be.

Ass et Reality Managment MINT 741 prereq. for Admittance (℧) to School of Hard Knots

Realizing it's why I went to school for naught, but for what it's worth: Uncles who passed know what is meant in saying "keep your ass behind you when your on the job."

Plumbing or strumming, get tar in tuning the car radio station, this is one piece of additional vice that will keep you grounded in any business.

Management, the action, scientifically and quantitatively speaking this is where the buck gets passed. If the buck should stop does a man-age-er fail to learn how to earn? This is the position that cable and phone cords and ring tunes find ways to wrap around your neck. You can't expect to get very high if you trip up in this house of cards.

But bend and see a return. This is the United States calling. Depending on how the land in'is more important than how far the fall.

Take precautions and then dispose of them promptly. Bet on her to play it safe if you're interested in planning to keep on shining, ICU crazy diamonds in the rough, you'll want to keep an eye on what you're putting at risk.

(Anwar is the English transliteration of two Arabic names commonly used in the Muslim World: the male given name Anwar (أنور), meaning "luminous"; or the female given name Anwār (أنوار), meaning "a collection of lights." Both names may also be encountered as surnames. In Francophone countries, both names are usually transliterated as Anouar.)

Playing myself in a full length feature: Part 1

I've accepted the role: Harold Gets to Work On Time

A positively dynamic characterization of a pessimistic and panicked (mostly) dark situational dramedy about a boy learning about how "to live on the far perimeter of a world that might have been" (H.S.Thompson). Harold (Hal Hardy)grew up quickly into a world of contrasts and enigmas. Sprung out of the Generation of Love, his family and friends were only beginning once again to see the space in which Harold lived. Mel (Melanie Strang-Hardy) and an ensemble cast of all stars and extras round out this poignant look at what to spear 'it' is, through a half beaten soul, body out of step, and a mind out of time.

Heart warming and mind bending, this movie is a taste of what life can be when no prisoners are taken and no one steps off the fine line.

"Pop! You Late": Ions de controle now

There is no need for ‘pop u late ion’ control

Death has a way of finding life out of balance

Take the hands off the yolk and let her settle easy

On the rivers and those who see that an other will receive

The energy will keep spiraling down until a resting place is found

Men in Black: Still the sun rise.

In God We Trust, but let my people go. Like a fallen angel I've been bad and dug a hole because I wasn't any the wise. Will I be for-give-n time? Must I still pay the system and people that stink and sink the majority by a-betting they are the minority?

Where was I when the rules were writ? Who sat at the table and de-clarified where trust should sit and to touch is to be bit? So I sit and scratch like the animal that I am. Wonder about the plan. Why I'm confused and see every scam. Even if the president is black man, he's wearing blue and read the paper that holds true the shoe fits, a foot's dis-stance. I hope too he'll see through.

But don't have pity. I still sit high in the city. There are many that need your hand rather than mine. I see time and find lines. See space and homeostais. Step aside and take things in stride. Won't do what I can't and can't do what I won't. Do what you will, think about what?...to fill.

Look for the light an' see all. Image 'I' nation when it's night, but in the lights, the vision is imposed, like a dear dear deer in the road. What is this thing we call reality? Some say ill-US-i-on. Some say TH.IS is IT. So is it really? Just for the comfort of knowing? We are behind the masks we use, to smile and chose. Or is it because we know the comfort of being? Behind or in front, on the way up or down. For better or worse, sicker and poorer. Does not matter, still the sun rise and house fly.

Building Stable Political and Economic Platforms: No strings attached

Candidates can and usually do have good intentions, smart, doable policies and proposals. But it is up to the individual people that make up this country, and world, to decide how money will be spent, and how life will be lived in the future. There is a duty of each individual, running for office or walking to work, to understand these platforms we create. How we can support them and what has been shaking the foundations.

We can have an economy built on building more, and more. And "We the People" can subsidize more alternative fuels, green building, corn, or algae. All lucrative and worthwhile, but none really requiring subsidies. I'm not against spending but spending more never helps when the solution isn't clear.

The job of making the rules, and seeing that the oil companies and eventually the green companies get regulated and do the right thing, is all of ours. But what do we value? The value of the resources or the resources themselves? Make it what you want. The world's work can be efficient and clean, useful and lean.

My best "shot": Buildings built from bullet and bomb proof glass, with solar panels behind them and gutters that catch, direct and store rain water! It sounds crazy but is it really? We'll have solved the three biggest problems facing the U.S. and the world, terrorism, water shortages, and our energy and resource needs. This kind of government spending will create short term production and jobs, community and connections. We the people will take it from there.

Direct current (DC) energy could be freely available from our sidewalks and building walls if they were made with this concoction of safety glass and solar panels. That means freely available, if not simply free, electricity for phones, computers and cars.

If you want to build, build a safe place. I'm tired of oil in my asphalt, in my water, and even in my car. Build a bike lane on the side, maybe an electric train.

Our Veterans, as well as the many inspired students and people who are looking for jobs designing and creating a better future, will need employment. Building clear and stable is the key, like we want our selves to be, like our government and businesses want to be able to be, and like our children will want to see. Don't build in another factory, I believe.

Materials and Spirituals: "Putting" IT...All Together

Technology is all the knowledge we know how to apply to materials. The knowledge which we understand how to apply to the non-material could be called spiritual-ness. The problem we face today in rectifying the material and spiritual worlds is where the solutions wait. We must take conscious steps back (or forward) into the moment. Just look around and see what is actually here, and the path is clear.

Misunderstanding and misleading has created many "crossed wires" and "mixed signals". Our understanding of "it", the technology, the systems, political and physical, has been corrupted by those who love power and control, rather than those who understand the power of love and have faith that good will come of it. From the businesses that sell out and the people who buy in, we are in a race with little thought of what awaits us at the finish line. The connections and relationships, the choice of material used, the order and the design is ill suited for sustainability. God, the world markets and even the sky seem to be falling.

Understanding "it", our machines, or hard-IT, and a better awareness of "soft-IT" and even AI and telepathy are possibly only moments away. Our body's joints and bones, like "our" machines, can be bent and broken if we ignore or permit the power to support something or someone that is reckless with it.

Alas, the body repaired can transmit a signal, like a old short wave radio. Just by finding the "inner space" or the "time" to become aware of ourselves, we can start this work of repairing and straightening out the mixed and crossed signals. All in order to begin real learning. Things that no other can teach, and things that may be only something you see. My hope is that we see better what is our actual job, not that which we do because we believe we have to.

WE THE PEOPLE need an overhaul, and that means busi-ness...and that's okay. It's always seemed good when I've lost and found myself before.

Purpose takes a lifetime. Still I think it's our job to figure that out: Both the reasons we are here and what we can actually accomplish.

See you in the future?

ICU Age

The literal play on words: Intensive Care Unit Age and I See You Age. These points I aim towards orthogonally, at right angles. One vector from where I see and an other for those by my side, to the right and left. I'm looking to see the next steps aren't prescribed, or more acutely are "trans-parent" and fit the stride. It takes a bit of faith and a gig of nerve to stand on only the belief, but the test comes before the less-on in life.

ICU is big business, and big businesses are in the ICU. We've got a cue to form a line and wait our turn. But we've got a clue to bend the sign and hear to learn. We know what is in front of us but only if we imagine what is ahead do we find our way true.

A majority may already believe socializing (western) medicine and corporate socialism (time shares of shares of stock) is the remedy to our malady. But as Buckminster Fuller reassures: "The maladies of the body may prove medicine to the mind."

The figurative meaning is then the objective: To swallow our collective medicine.

Account and figure out where, when and why it hurts. Connect the dots. And cross the "t" that makes all the difference between here and t.here.

There, there, there. There is no rush
If you believe, there is here and we're all a flush
Of the same suit and same rose cheeks.
Of the same rocks that make the beach.

The master minds, and our body bends
Climb on to the shoulders of giants
But walk gently on the back of men.

Small business only a pawn in this game
No better or worse but the same
An induction to the pain
A Di-æther for the brain

Social entrepreneur may even be thy name
But with clear eyes still a manifestation of the lame
The limitation is the claim
That land is taken in His or your name

So ICU and espouse the main
Building anew will begin in the abyssal plain
Where there's little relief, the insane

So prepare and do not wane
The winds of change are again a gain


Anyway, U is me and I am you, we are then them...etc. So we grow a little wiser a lot of the time, when we stop and think. But to be aware and move is a whole other game. Take your self out of the box and feel the chill of the unknown, but be mindful and re-member, that you're always home.

Reach up and feel the strength of the new branches.
They are all ready, strong enough, especially if you've seen enough.

Post Log: I wonder where we are all going. I've got interests and plans for my self. I'm sure there are things in store that I can't imagine. But the wonder has overcome the imagery and the imaginary. The way forward is the Tao, the DOW tells you only the past. I feel what I'm up to, but to ex-plain and plan et. not in a million years. While being in it, the able alibi, and the girl be side.

To buy or sell I don't say is bad. The interest I have is what's beyond the mad. The place where I long to short is the sale on peace with out the need of a court.

The Spirit of Au: Color-Gold, Classification-"Transition Metal"

A U! Revisit with me the way we define and use gold?

The gold standard (Au, chemical symbol for gold), once again needs reevaluation so that the spirit(uA)ll world, life and liberty, may continue. The Bretton Woods group are aware that if they don't come "up" with something, there will be a lot of spirits leaving this physical world. 30 years older now and still trying to tell us which way the wind blows. As a mirror reflects the way backwards, statistics, cycles, and the past don't include the possibilities of the 5th dimension.

But how many roads must a man walk "down", to see what's wrong when looking back? Do we need a "whether man" or no-mad man scenario to know the way the world works?

The masses have allowed the gold standards and poor to go hungry. By deriving all available value from gold and many others materials.

(Just fyi the other transit-ion metals are iron, cobalt, and nickel...and the only ones know to produce an electric field.)

We even had to detach our economies from the Gold Standard to survive...what did that cost the world? We've succeeded so far only in keeping the machines and systems lubricated so that the screwing gets done smoothly and efficiently.

It is time to see, appreciate, defend and increase the value of the infinitely connected, ecologically divers material world with the innate, although primate (second definition), abilities that man and woman can offer from the spirit world.

The international economic game (globalization) was sold as something or all to do about “competitive currency devaluation”. This was the best solution that those in "charge" could negotiate with the dark side of Yin. Our (Yang) ability to bargain with something that is equal, and inseparable, but far more grave, yielded the appropriate paradigm "less is more" but with the values backward: "A-U how much for that wood?" "$400 bucks"..."I'll give you $300" "Deal." "U-A National Park Officer?..."

But until the value is recog-nized on many different levels, the current market price, aka sell price (or in physical terms the valence electron with the lowest potential located in the outermost shell of an atom) can be whisk away tarnishing the element "appearing" to diminish the potential value.

So we can't expect to have the "taking" cease unless we bond with these "things" more strongly than on the de-valuated level. And with the market spiraling, now is the perfect time to consider the value of the whole processes that occur (nature) instead of the value of the land and material divided. It is up to each of us to find the value that the market may not yet see but that will be recog-nized by those who are to 'inherit the earth'. The highest land value use (like a mall compared to a housing development) is really not the most valuable, even if the market says so. I'm into humane care of the Golden Generation: Is it now not our turn to make sure this generation has protection from being stripped of their values? And how about apples that are really good and not poisonous-sss, and a little room to learn before being taught, "leave those kids alone" let them explore the possibilities.

We are coming full circle with the G20 meetings and the big whigs will likely come up with another similar stratagem to keep an economic war engine red lining for another 20 or 30 years but then what? Game over? Break down? Rebuild? Why not slow down, even pull over? Save the art and skills of the past so that we may continue them in the future.

Consider the value of an old oak tree, oil deposit, or a mountain top veined with coal and quartz to be more than the current market value can yield. That can't hurt the financial system but has the power to change it. The job for us is to show this reality to those with the accounts for "checking".

You can't necessarily put a price tag on a sunset or clean air, but we can take our master's card approach and simply say, priceless. Still, to do this will require some creative financing. Education may be the thing to allow a human consciousness evolution. Education, organic food and health-care, I believe, are the only sectors not being devalued in the falling markets.

So, in summary, the reason gold is classified as a transition metal is because the valence electrons it shares with other elements, exist in more than just the outer most shell. Help me find a way to real-ize that gold is just a transition metal. Something to use along the way to aligning our spiritual values with our material world.

I "charge" you all with seeking with valor, beyond the surface, of how we can "share valence" elect-r-ons with the material world on deeper level. Find something that will bring you up instead of something that is marked “down”?

U A helper of healing? Think about it and get back with me. This is not an endgame, it's a time for cooperative creating.

Mother Should I Trust The Government?

Wiki breaks down The Wall : The song itself is inspired by the very concept The Wall was made for; the feeling of despair and isolation from one's peers. "Hey You" has a very desperate tone which steadily grows as the song progresses, and there has been much debate as to what the lyrics symbolize, though it is generally agreed that the song is about isolation from ones' peers, whether it be Pink or the listener, or both.

You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can't explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
There'll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
That'll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what you're saying.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

In the End, As In the Beginning

Allowing people to believe they are participating in a free market when really the game is fixed is the underlying problem.

We are pawns and slaves to ATM machine that has been running for hundreds if not thousands of years. I think that domination and control is the cause of the problems. Greed, ignorance, and caste systems follow closely. Freedom is what we fight for but someone is holding the leash.

Simply put the economy operates on debt. Instead of based on an actual standard, like gold, the transactions occur only because the lender and borrower have confidence. Now that the loan for a home that one person bought can be sold to another and another, the derived value of that loan contract becomes almost worthless because the confidence is etched away all along the supply chain.

In actuality, people must instead spend their money getting to work, buying food, and the biggest cost, taking care of their health care; be it insurance and medical bills, or organic food. This is because we have allowed the factories that we need to work in to pollute. Allowed driving our inefficient cars to pass for progress because the shape and model numbers changed. Allowed ourselves to smoke and drink, stress and bend our bodies like good Americans. Well I'm a bad boy.

The promises that were made were not being delivered. Whether it be a pension, a promotion or a better future, we are now finding ourselves almost out of time. The story is supposed to go...and they lived happily ever after. Well ever after is almost here. Happily is up to us, not the US.

So all of these derivatives and credit accounts that are seizing because the tread mill got too fast are causing the financial structures we use to “do business” to carry too much debt and that makes the tread mill sag so that it looks bad to investors who won't even throw other people's money on the thing for fear the whole thing will break. The game is up when you’ve got something to sell and no where to "put" it.

Or, is the game just starting? This problem we find ourselves in can’t be fixed by the same minds that got us into it. To throw more cash at debt in order to stabilize it is like putting more lipstick on a pit-bull. Facing that this economy is unsustainable and getting this "vehicle" to the next rest stop should be our concern. How to keep our investments from tanking and disappearing while we shore up new industry which will allow people to support their causes and themselves without damage and costs like war and pollution is a question we should consider. The answers are staring at us in the forms of problems.

Our economy is operating in an unsustainable way on two levels. One level that is really pretty easy to fix: Business, government, and the public won’t walk away from the easy “pickins” if we don’t walk away first. We are considered consumers. We buy because we can and the cost doesn't matter because if we don't have it, we know we can get it. That time is over.

Businesses, no matter what they sell, must be operating "green" where the energy for distribution is renewable. Why would we continue to pay an overhead cost unless it somehow served a bigger purpose, control? Domination? Market domination? Just because that would limit the competition by causing the scale of business that must be achieved to support a family require a loan from a bank? Just because big business needs more time to work it out with the government how we'll can be led down a path that keeps us producing...and consuming.

We must only buy that which is sustainable: Those goods that are fairly traded. We must be able to see where the money goes. If it can’t be done all at once, it is something to strive for. When you know what your money pays for, you are in the driver’s seat of the economy and no economist will be able to tell you anything that you couldn't agree or disagree with. No longer will you be at the mercy of your "stock man", "money guy", or "portfolio manager". You'll know where your money is because you wouldn't put it anywhere that you might not be able to find it.

The second level is that our bigger, global economy if you will is manipulated by those who see a good deal and know they can make it. This is called taking advantage and is not part of "fair trade". If it sounds too good to be true...it probably is. From the poor farmer or craftsman in another country being promised everything he would seem to need to the 2 for 1 tennies and half price sales we are so accustomed to by now.

So the confusing part is that you can have it all but just not at the cost that you have to pay today. The whole system is set up to perpetuate the paradigm of the rich getting a lot richer and the poor getting a little less poor and this we call progress. Would you be content if you were 'given' health care? The rights and privileges attained by white men in 1776 are still greater than those of most people today. The only difference is that we now have technology that makes the injustice a little more tolerable. From laughing gas to propane, and penicillin to paxil, I think I can, I think I can. Oh wait pandemic? World economic collapse? I can't handle that...

We need to search ourselves and get back to our beginnings. We took this land from native people who were living in relative harmony because our monetary and social structure was taxing us without representing us. We've corrupted their way of life and learned only enough from their way of life to get us face to face with our way of life. The systems developed (or developed and corrupted) for control and continuance of empires, religions, nations and corporations may be stabilized, but will not be looked upon the same anymore. This bailout solution is one that the "powers that be" have come up with once again, a solution was never found so quickly? Pay more for a system which ensures it’s strangle hold on our necks and ankles and wrists. Pay to play and pay to keep those who don't play "fairly" in prison, and those who bend the rules on the top.

Look at these issues closely and see that all we need to do is to learn how to take care of our business, our finances, our health and our environment. Always looking to another for direction is what got us all stamped. Walk gently in the direction that is best for you and those that you love. Spend your energy and time helping instead of taking.

If you later find that you were one of the few who were able to “get theirs” and it was at the cost to all the others, things soon will then change, with out a need for legislation. It will be judgment day as it was in the beginning. But if you follow your heart, it matters not how much wealth you acquire or how much money you can give, only that your hands are there to share.

The Times They Are A-Changin'
By Robert Zimmerman

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'.

To be or not to b-ailout Woozy Henry Paulson

Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA also referred to as loco essay) is in my humble opinion a rushed attempt at saving pensions, jobs and the jobs that the majority love to bitch about. Why save the ship when we can save ourselves and let the shit sink.

Buffet, on 60 Minutes, and John Paulson, in the Wall Street Journal, tried to explain that this could be done better. From the right (shy of the mark) or left (in the cold) this document I believe is too socialist for my tax bracket, let alone my fear of Freedom to Fascism being less than a day away with the BBC article noted that the US Admin. wanted "a deal to be announced before markets in Asia opened" ...tomorrow ...today... yesterday?

There must be a better way than buying all the jerk off bad investments to re-capitalize the markets. The only thing I would support is funding an attempt to steer this monetary system off the highway and finance a sustainable revolution.

Does the U.S. really need to go down like this? Didn't we pay enough yet? Can we instead subsidize a health care industry that would allow the Golden Generation to really have what they were promised? Can our government break the chains of big business or does it make a deal that we all need to carry more weight?

If we can agree that a government should support a social service, be it preservation, conservation, or sustaining our resources, the pressure to take care of everything will be spread out over the whole country and allow each one of us to step up and do our part. That is something I'm willing to take on.

If we are plunged into astronomical, undefinable and mind boggling debt, the pensions and potential for change will be undermined once again and maybe beyond help from the U.S. people or economy.

Pray for dissent on the LOCO ESSAY. Otherwise our hammers will not be used to fix the rocking chairs but to keep everyone in line, be it for soup or for US Monetary System Support.

See that money can be used in a good or bad way, even if the intention is for good.

The Interdisciplinary Life: The HR 1950's Post War Economy Revisited

Life is swell. Simultaneously things are falling apart. 1984 has come and gone, we find live m.i.c.s in a brave new world. So be aware of the similarities and subtle differences of what is said and heard. And which way is in if you want to get out.

At some points in time and space, it matters not what is believed or understood. Noticeable is only the distance between one and other. The divisions of interests between the physicists and the physicians, financial specialists and magicians are not yet beyond a point of no return. Although the energy and costs at some point, whether measured by physics or philosophes require that we just make sure if we want to continue.

Consider the viewpoint of another and reflect on how the occurrences, or karma, as well as dharma, that righteous action we all chose to take or not take, is changing the very fabric we clothe our selves in, as this can only help.

The monetary, legal, literal and figuratively interpretable terms of HR 1955, that, I state optimistically, were writ in collective defense of ideologies, but find pessimistically, to be developed with primary intention to be a somewhat firm yet fable Uncle Sam grasp on his own nephew's neck for the security, defense, and preservation of the missteps of the stumbling United States. Once again "He" wants you.

And with these terms now set out from the House to the Senate, I now understand enough to know that I need to understand more. So I continue without a declaration of guilt, and unable to summon my innocence.

Please notice what others are saying.

Pornocracy: Rule of the Harlots

We're in danger of being labeled something not so appealing. Again wiki reveals that Pornocracy was a period from 904 to 964 where the powerful aristocratic Theophylacti family influenced Pope X-XII along with Pope Sergius III, Leo VI and John XI.

So pretty much no one is immune to sweet talk. I'm wondering what other kinds of "cracy" we could have. See wiki's list of possibilities and maybe come up with a few of your own while we still have some assemblance of democracy, or rule by the people.

If you've ever lost your keys

Muddy Waters said if you got something good, keep it in your pocket. But at some point, something "precious" must be unabashedly shared and that's the risk we must take.

So for those who've ever locked their keys in the car, left them in the door or just completely forgot where they were left, here is a way to right the wrongs: We're humans after all.

One of the first to (publicly) use the phrase "the law of attraction" Charles F. Haanel wrote a book called The Master Key System (1912) to help all those that chose to help themselves to understand that even if we can't answer the question of questions, we can unlock the doors and continue to decide what we are going to do in the mean time.

Here's the link to the book The Master Key System

And here's some info on the author C.F. Haanel

The ideas are believed to stem from the Tenets of the Rosicrucians

Proofs and Revelations

Internet 2, LHC, petabytes and a bag of (hardware) chips.

There are revolutions and links beginning. The Super Large Hadron Collider (SLHC) is planned to come online in 2012, appropriately bridging the gap between the spirit and physical world. The answer the CERN is trying to determine is why do things have mass; quite similar to the spiritual question, why are we here.

Science has been trying to answer the same questions that the humanities have pondered. Why? I suppose even if science comes up with an equation to reveal the answer, the "matter" will still depend on if you do or don't believe.

Keep the faith, whether for a mathematical proof or revelations

McC & Hockey Mom Vs. Big O & Foreign Relations

With shiny confetti, real balloons and a persuasive argument John McCain, at 72 years old, promised to continue the good fight. If we find it necessary to take more beatings, with a thumbs-up, elect him and stick your thumbs back in your ears! Giuliani, Bush, and business as usual will still mean change, as McCain can deliver promise and hope, but while just right of center, I’m interested in being right on.

On the ebb of world order and globalization, I would prefer to be focusing on more change than we can count on McCain to understand. I would rather gamble that our country has produced a leader who knows that the conference table is better to get the facts straight than the battle field.

The one who promises to speak for us, I vote for. Not those who promise to fight for us. We’ve got our independence; let us get to it.

It is truly not by increasing oil availability that we can change. It is not by giving time to large corporations to position themselves to sell us freedom in a recyclable can. I want my freedom to come from the inside, not legislated and marketed.

There is only one way to stop the progress, stick our noses in other countries affairs. If we are threatened, we can still fight (we may need to extend the eligible age for enlisting to 80), and if we are needed, we can help. Finally if we are not afraid we can elect a leader who is untested but fully competent.

Enough with the warring and divisions, even the hope of promise of a future where work means a better outcomes than the creation of more work where the economy doesn’t depend only on the backs of sweaty labor but the ingenuity that McCain’s generation fought for us to retain. It’s time the torch was passed on.

Yes so quickly after the glittery Olympics (again “wow” for the thinking impaired) brought a new kind of political tactic to the stage, journalists and dissenters today spend time in jail instead of on the free speech PA system mic.

McCain will ensure another kind of MIC, the Military Industrial Complex, has work for years. You want jobs; he will almost surely create a stain on the fabric of international conflict that won’t wash out. The pants we pull up everyday will have to be trashed.

The man does have something to offer. He knows what’s going on wrong and only if in my dreams he would be a great ad-Vice President for Barack. We need balance to find the next steps to take in the volatile dynamic of globalization and inner revelation. We’re working on multitasking at multileveled actions, praying that the reactions don’t boil over too much. True we have reservations about a young man taking the lead but I believe Barack will hear and understand that a true master of war neither offends nor provokes, and fights only the battles worth fighting.

Keep your junk in the trunk

Brother brother brother…If we do in fact continue to revisit the love and peace revolutions and civil rights issues of the sixties, let us prepare now so we can scratch the disco era disk of the seventies that might once again corrupted that funk which we all need to keep the junk in the trunk and our axes in tune.

For all the people who love to disco, go on; just don’t make me watch you do it. I’ll keep my love from smacking you up side your head if you keep yours from vomiting up bad drugs and running me down in a deal that turned the wrong way. I won’t allow myself to be subject to the strobe lights, coke heads, and polyester suit wearing long beards telling me how to stay alive and use my walk to show I’m a woman’s man and no time to talk. Moreover, keep the freaks singing that they want to love me all over, and over and over, tied down before they find themselves tied up in a prison getting schooled over and over. The theme is catchy but in an STD dis-ease kind of way. Finally, I am well aware that ecstasy comes in any pill form now but the real cost is far higher than the street price of $5.

From the clothing and flashy style, everything about disco served the purpose of promoting the abuse of happy time drugs, supporting the so called “black” market and reinforcing the belief that the revolution had succeeded. For some there was success but for most we still getting tuned up for the Age of Aquarius.

I can imagine the pointed fingers and Travolta type moves can be good for the soul but all this led us in the wrong direction. Disco simply came prematurely. The soul was forgotten once the pants got tight at the top and too wide at the bottom. In the continuing changes for a brother to be unique, the style now has stretched shirts to the knees and pants to hang off the thighs. Ok, you win, “your” soul had it right all along. Now pull up your pants and stop flaunting your trunk.

From the need to celebrate and recognize the progress the sixties experiments yielded came the commercialism and Club 54 type joints that only served to further the divide and conquer the ideologies from the original intent. As Gil Scott Heron said, the revolution will not be televised. In other words, these “demands” will not be “supplied” by the “free” market. It has a price but you can’t buy me love.

The desire for the positive expressiveness of disco has a close cousin for comparison and room for further development in both techno or house music and the hip hop genre with bands like Black Eyed Peas and US3 reworking the original standards into songs like “You can’t hold me down” and “Where is the Love?”. The big screen equivalent of what hip hop is to disco is Pulp Fiction. In the post modern film about bad things happening to even badder people, Travolta places himself in a more fitting role of Vincent Vega.

Music and film can serve to unite the public that is tuned in far better than any swinger party could ever help get people over their humanness. US3 shows we are all brothers and sisters, not just the “woman’s man, with no time to talk” that the time of the Bee Gees dictated. The need to express joy and pain can surely be better articulated in these “open source” mediums than by any boom chick beat I can stand to walk to.

FIFTH DIMENSION FRIDAYS

To change the world we take a step. The fifth dimension is the space time fabric that may be knit and cut to specific interests and requirements. To address personal problems or individual interests, as well as world issues and global concerns, I consider work in the 5^th dimension to be the way.

By collaborating and learning, listening and considering, the small amount of energy we individually possess can be amplified, focused and synergistically channeled towards arriving at the destinations of choice with little waste and all in due time.

The power of the collective is often lost in the structure of the organization. From government and business to networks and relationships, we are working within and without forces from tax, building, ethics and even college electorates, the codes are there for deciphering.

So participate. Within the 5^th dimension to win only requires that you contribute, either by graciously losing a disagreement or by intent resolution you’ll find accord.

The Information Age is upon us: We have always been able to confirm our intuition and thoughts with many people, but only now does technology support construction in the 5^th Dimension.

Still there are guidelines: The US Constitution is a good place to start. We will be working and doing business in a framework of tax codes and legal precedents. Consideration for these laws should not dictate but shape our actions so as to be free from judgment. This is called minding your own business and is legal. Anyway Franklin and Madison sort of incorporated democracy from The Great Law of Peace (Iroquois Constitution). And even more interesting, farther back in history and less known the potential for applying the beliefs, culture and systems of the Maya Aztec and Inca Civilizations to our own.

So there is plenty work but the fingers now touch. It’s a stretch but it’s not that far.

So weather your interest in design, history, art, law, physics, technology, business or thought. It will pay someday to work today in the 5^th dimension.

Waking up from the American Dream, and turning over.

Waking up from the American Dream, and turning over.

If it’s true or if it is the search that counts, I’m waking up to the fact that the American Dream is great until you wake up.

I’ve had a dream. Just when I finished school in 2002, I searched my soul to find a path. Since I had learned that it was a big game that everyone was playing, I thought a lot about whether I even wanted to play. But, I needed money.

I knew that in order to mind my own business, I had to talk with accountants and S.C.O.R.E.s of people. But the game was rigged. Taxes, brackets, licenses, and rackets are the plays. My first interest doesn’t pay well but at least I am clean. So finally I broaden and narrow, once the search, now the quest for living among all this killing.

Now I’ve got dreams to remember.

I’m going back to sleep a while.

May be gone till November,

But we all got to walk through the green mile.

The Outing of the Mustard Seed

Who'd a thought? The mustard seed at one time used to deter pests, would come full circle from mustard gas and the still live M.I.C pesticide companies that developed from it, to fuel for organic farming.

So once again the mustard seed has meaning beyond making "bread" for those who know "dough"...the money makers, y'all. "Not that there's anything wrong with that" - George Castanza The Outing

Liquid Flow

I want to coin a new meaning but as "it" turns out, those who came before have had time to think, arguably more clearly than is frequently possible today.

Flow is defined by wikipedia as: the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity...
similar mental states include: to be on the ball, in the zone, or in the groove.

Liquid may still have room for interpretation. Although the definitions are pretty well established, there is no (psychology) in parenthesis next to the term. The physical and spiritual characteristics of water or any liquid can apply to a state of mind like 'flow'. The interpretation can be left up to those who inquire and desire to go with the flow and study topics like Shen and Guro.

New Castle County Is Swale But Turned The Wrong Way

New Castle Co. is swell but its swales are turned the wrong way. Flows out of a crack down town like ours sucks like a bathroom drain in the rain. Likely we all would be flush, if we can hang on that long. If too much more crap gets piled up, whether it's the landfill or the heavy pockets, no belt wearin', too big for your britches with all them bitches, on the run, with the gun cocked, against the clock, doped copped and luck broke. Delaware just wouldn't be fun.

Our ecology is at the same risk level as our economy, city government is balancing but it's a tight wire act and the fact that "the man" represents us is lost on the one who would observe. To those who call to fight, and prefer the man down, or at some point utter the words "down with the man" best realize that YoU are being called to action, and it is time to stand up. That means YoU.

Ex's and Why's : Sometimes Lie

On hearing that a good political Delaware blog has recently gone down, I offer my condolences and self and continue to stand up to the racism, oppression and mismanagement of life.

So, it's official I am involved. Still innocent, I plan to see the steps that would prove my self guilty and lead to an end that is worthy of beginning.

I am just excited to be bridging some ideas really. I was happy to gently tell a CEO of a Delaware building / development company (1.) He is not all right and (2.) I want to talk more about business and less about politics.

It started when I read last Saturday's paper, today. The Comments section had Delaware Voice Stephen Mockbee, president and CEO of Bancroft Construction Co., inquire Why can't America fight back against all of its enemies?

Seen online here: http://www.delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080802/OPINION07/808020313/1108

My reply to the News Journal and Mockbee was maybe lengthy but I sent them both a copy. I wanted to pay my respects and give fair notice that a public retort was on its way, as well as the provide the newspaper a chance to publish some good news.

So I'll also publish it my self just in case the weird weather of Delaware blows it by, and so that you may read it here with a little more ease of vision.


Yes We Can?

In regards to Stephen Mockbee's question this past weekend: "Why can't America fight back against all its enemies?" I'll just quote one of my father's last songs, "It ain't no fun when the rabbit's got the gun"; a statement to his friends and public that would hit home without out no collateral damage.

We are a nation that is divided from within with Americans in opposition to America and confusion on what being an American means. We Americans have also opposed any other power by default and to the point of creating our own enemies through our economic strength, military might and stubbornness that the U.S. is the "best country in America" a direct quote from one of the only times I went to a rodeo.

It's my contention that the goal is not to be the strongest nation but simply to be a nation. One where prosperity is obtainable and fear is again the only thing to fear.

Mockbee argues justly to "...Wake up..." but got many other points misdirected and off base. The war on terrorism does have an end in sight: Exactly the moment when the opposition sits at the table, to be heard and considered equally along with the majority.

Mockbee also used the word control fifteen times: Control of corporations, resources, economies, religion, destiny, even world control. This level of control is possible but is this really what is desired? The amount of sacrifice is just too high. Include the gambles we take with Iraq and any battle: economic stability, future economies, land, resources, lives, education and vision, a price I for one am not willing to pay. These things we sacrifices in the name of control or power are our partners. We invest in foreign markets, share common interest in undeveloped renewable resources, calculate potential interests in futures, help foreign and domestic children's children, build schools and breath life back into idealism. All partners that help light the path to a world at peace.

Basing policy on vision is another of Mockbee's points. But that's what leaders are supposed to do. We already have a policy with vision, the Constitution!

But, if the vision is unclear, listen to the supposed opposition and help to non violently and without hostility, takeover the reigns of the ships that once sailed away from taxation without representation to a place where freedoms may thrive. And do this before all those who disagree with the current spending on war and subsidies find it necessary to leave and thereby create a new tax base in other lands.

When atrocities occur, see how they relate to our policy. Do we want to continue to promote our way of life as millions more take the same path and "rise" to our way of life and standard of living?

I for one am interested in weathering this storm. I believe it will bring forth growth, new life and change. I've learned from you CEO's, five star generals, professors and parents, commitment is unwavering in a battle that is not to be feared, and life is what you make of it.

I have a vision where corporations are utilized once again for the benefit of the public instead of primary vehicles for profit and market dominance. I believe the impetus for incorporating was to tackle seemingly impossible feats like building bridges and national infrastructures, possibly before the over arching law and interest that profits be the main focus. I could be wrong but wouldn't it be better?

Living is getting harder, though the rules remain the same. The use of terrorism has been employed and developing since the creation of a majority yielded a disenfranchised minority. And along with the first use of bombs and knowledge of pyrotechnics, came the development of chemical and biological warfare, still being invested in by the U.S. military industrial complex. Competing and winning has come with high costs. But I was told: "All is fair in love and war."

But, now the world is waking up to dominance and control and the ability of conflict resolution to solve issues that no amount of power has been able to accomplish. I argue that we need less control and dominance, and more self control and commitment. This will be the way to regain our freedom.

So to answer your question, "Why can't America fight back against all it's enemies?" Because protests are starved and squelched of their meaning and wisdom for fear of change. Instead of hearing and implementing the ideas, fear of losing control of an economic world power created "enemies" among and within the U.S.

And the points and lessons of the time...that economic warfare was a no win solution...was lost. Among this loss was also much of the idealism that create and organize great nations.

If you look at life only as a competition, there are just too many people competing for less resources, less power, and less control. And don't forget the need and want of freedom. Competition is a part of life, but it serves to separate the better from the best.


With the "US" the Banks Can Too

Now that the practice of capitalist competition has been permitted to continue, simply because another economic system that would protect, ensure and serve individual and economic rights was not fully realized, we find ourselves faced again with similar issues. Oppression leading to depression with drugs permitting the visions to become disillusions. If we aren't careful, today's need and use of pharmaceutical drugs could cause just the same thing to happen again. We the people are just waking up from hitting the snooze button on the voice that says "something ain't right" and looking once again for re-enchantment and remembrance that everything is alright.

Because, although the roots we have allowed to grow are deep, from our Federal Reserve banking system and corporate power to genetic patent laws to general fatigue and indifference of our racially and economically divided nation, solutions are always there for those who search.

I disagree with your statement that "...the problem is simple and the solution is complex." The solution is in simply righting the wrongs that have been permitted: We've tied the knot and we can untie it. The problem and solution is then in knowing how and with whom to create new "bonds" with. This is where the leaders and people are needed. Do we continue to trade unfairly or is it time to act fairly. Do we invest in the best defense (offense)? Do we continue trying to legislate and regulate marriage and love? Can we allow ourselves the freedom to find what works for us? Can we police ourselves and prevent the violence better than the police have been permitted to attempt? Can we find our way back to a golden standard and gardens of delight? Can we happily share the fruit of both the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the Tree of Life? And might this lead to peace with all nations and religions alike.

Independence is ours and has always been, but interdependence, between populations, governments and businesses is a key to the comfort, stability, and life that people and nations must share. Furthermore, fiscal and monetary policy adapt quite well, as we have seen with the recent net that was cast for Bear Stearns Company. And even more powerful and subtle are individuals' actions that may further our "local economy" to adapt and thrive in the "new world economy".

The core of what we are dealing with is mind set and ignorance of potentials. There is another way, there always is. Controlling the market and the future of a nation is too much even for the strongest nation in the world. We the people can only control our selves, our actions and the decisions we make with the choices that are presented to us. The future of any nation is in its peoples' hearts.

We are all in this together, let's embrace the these challenges together. Where ecologist and economist find that the terms that represent their interests are the same, and control and competition is no longer the mainstay of the economic ship we wish to sail.
