*note- parenthesis indicate where reference to the original forum this was written in here http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthr ... ted-really have been exchanged for more expansive descriptions. Not all the original html tags have been kept, so there may be differences between this cut and paste version and the original. All edits have been marked and noted- any lapses are due entirely to my ability- or lack thereof- to focus on such things for long.

Those who know me know that I speak about a concept called Sui Generis: it's a term that I learned from my deep law studies and it basically means that one is unique, without peer, one's own jurisdiction and authority. In the terms of the law, it raises an individual above every act, statute and external authority on the planet, but that aspect requires some discussion and isn't the focus of my current post. It's a really important concept.

What I am interested in discussing is the peculiar nature of most of the threads that are posted on this forum, with perhaps the exception of the alternative health thread. To this end, I'd like to introduce a concept: Heteronomy.

Here's a dictionary definition:

Het`er`on´o`my
n. 1. Subordination or subjection to the law of another; political subjection of a community or state; - opposed to autonomy.

(note: there's a second definition here which defines the word according to Kant, which is a heteronomous definition in itself, so I've ignored it)

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, published 1913 by C. & G. Merriam Co.

heteronomy
1. the state or condition of being ruled, governed, or under the sway of another, as in a military occupation.
2. the state or condition of being under the influence or domination, in a moral, spiritual, or similar sense, of another person, entity, force, etc. Cf. autonomy. — heteronomous, adj.
See also: Government
the condition of being under the moral control of something or someone external; inability to be self-willing. — heteronymous, adj.
See also: Will
the condition of being under the rule or domination of another.

According to this definition, heteronomy is the opposite of autonomy- so here's a look at what autonomy means:

au·ton·o·my Pronunciation (ô-tn-m)

1. The condition or quality of being autonomous; independence.
2.
a. Self-government or the right of self-government; self-determination.
b. Self-government with respect to local or internal affairs: granted autonomy to a national minority.
3. A self-governing state, community, or group.
[Greek autonomi, from autonomos, self-ruling; see autonomous.]

autonomy [ɔːˈtɒnəmɪ]
n pl -mies
1. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) the right or state of self-government, esp when limited
2. (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a state, community, or individual possessing autonomy
3. freedom to determine one's own actions, behaviour, etc.
4. (Philosophy) Philosophy

Sui generis encompasses all of the relevant concepts within these definitions, as well as an abundance more, which I'm not going to go into now or else this post will move beyond 'possibly epic' and into 'War and Peace, redux'. What is of interest is the contrast between heteronomy- authority that comes from *external* to the Self- and autonomy, the authority, direction and law that comes from within.

Much of the debate- and occasionally, discussion- that goes on [around these two concepts] revolves around the idea of discarding the current paradigm by replacing it with a different paradigm, as suggested by better authorities and Purveyors of Reality, so that the *new* paradigm will have a more solid footing. Better Politicians. A Shinier Economy. Nicer Religions.

It seems to me that almost all [mainstream discussions of this topic] fall into the category of encouraging nothing more than a different form of heteronomy: here is an authority! no, HERE is the authority, with impressive credentials and a pointy stick to point at the points with! NO, you're all wrong, the TRUE authority is this guy over here - and then the noise ensues, which is nothing more than the different brands of heteronomy arm wrestling with themselves while the mind virus laughs hugely in the back ground at the whole debacle, knowing that the individuals concerned are all still firmly stuck in the tarpits.

Heteronomy will never, ever be user friendly, because the user isn't engaged in the process of their own life: they're engaged in the process of trading their autonomy for whatever bright beads and trinkets they're willing to settle for. Sometimes these beads and trinkets are elaborate psychological and intellectual constructs that can appear so excellently presented and persuasively presented as to surely be spiritual wisdom of the highest order because it resonates, it creates an internal vibration that feels right.

There's only one problem: if one has been profoundly, down to the level of the genes, immersed in the deeply layered indoctrination to the heteronomy, then how can one trust one's responses if there's nothing to contrast with? There is very little autonomy discussed [] in a way that indicates that the writers or commenters themselves practice deep level autonomy or are comfortable with the infinitely singular expressions of such autonomy: what I observe instead are claims to autonomy that then degenerate into ideological battles, which amount to nothing more than an attempt to overlay one individual's autonomy with another's authority- which, by definition, is heteronomy. And is thus the foundation of all the current things about the paradigm that many say they are against.

Is it a case that autonomy is only ok as long as others agree with the version favored by any particular individual? Which is heteronomous in intent. When any individual advocates the election of *this* individual rather than *that* one, they are advocating heteronomy. The same goes with religious and spiritual perspectives- when there are those that do not feel the same way, or have a different perspective, the superior and condescending tones of the heteronomy emerges, or the 'gentle correction' or the not so gentle admonition; however it is couched, the heteronomy, the constant tracking back to submission to some kind of external authority, is the guiding force.

I am fully aware of the endless earnest and persuasive arguments of the heteronomy, particularly those that insist Beings cannot be trusted to be their own authority: these indoctrinations begin before birth and continue to the moment of death, this constant bespelling of who and what we 'really' are, the 'sin' and 'untrustworthy' nature that Beings on this planet are subject to and thus in need of a benevolent saviour of *some* kind or another, some grand external authority to tell the masses what is the correct thing to think, to do, to not do...

I'm aware of all of these arguments and I have never, ever found a single one that was not pimping, either overtly or covertly, the agenda of the heteronomy. Which, as the recent history of the majority species currently on this planet attests, creates nothing but closed systems that eventually collapse on themselves and simply arise again to recreate themselves in another, corruptive and polluted form. The desperate rhetoric of "this time"- this time it will work, we'll have the *right* king, the *right* president, the *right* religion, the *better* economy, blah blah blah- and each time the answer comes in the negative because ultimately an externally governed group cannot spiritually evolve in their own singularity.

This may seem like obvious stuff, yet in relation to [the paradigm] it actually isn't- the general tone of [communications] are heteronomy in one form or another, the general tone of the replies are the same: where is the cutting edge evolution that has the actual power to truly bring the controllers and their agendas to their knees?

Apparently, it's buried beneath more rhetoric and heteronomy.

Autonomy as a concept is one that has infinite depth, flavour, expression and intention to explore and consider. It is also a concept and practice that cannot be embraced while the other hand is firmly stuck to the teat of heteronomy. Autonomy has nothing whatsoever to do with homogeny of thought, nothing to do with 'agreement', nothing to do with compromise or any of the other things that the heteronomy has bleated is necessary for groups to get along together: truly autonomous, sui generis Beings are as interested in engaging with those concepts as they are in removing their left foot with a fork, for reasons that I'm not going to go into right now. Suffice to say, the practice of 'autonomy' is one where a constant interested eye is kept on any indicators of lurking heteronomy with a view to prompt removal.

So how interested are individuals in the prompt removal of the heteronomy that emerges [in every attempt at intelligent discussion]? Are there any that truly believe modified heteronomy is the answer? The benevolent hand of those that consider themselves truly able to rule in a fair and considerate fashion? (for a price, of course). Is anyone who is truly interested in transformation rather than recycling going to suggest to me that behaving like an insane Being (doing the same thing again and again while expecting a different result) is the best tool of the evolution there is?

I'm interested in what actually works, what is actually going to work in terms of true evolution of Being. Which means some sacred cows of belief, thought, psychology, 'wisdom' and other bastions of the paradigm are going to have to be left on the roadside no matter how much the programming within screams not to. That's the nature of programming and it's been done very very well- protect and serve the virus at all costs. Viruses and parasites do that- they alter the behaviour of the hosts to serve the interests of the parasite rather than the best interests of the host.

http://tobiastenney.com/2010/06/toxoplasma/ You *really* think you're in control of your Self? You really think there's no virus? Perhaps try this experiment: see what happens internally when you embrace and practice the idea of autonomy for all Beings and watch what triggers inside of you.

How would this practice manifest? For a start the criticism of [anything 'different'] would cease- the criticism of *any* perspective would cease, because the pervading platform of connection would be with the respect for the autonomy of all individuals, not just those that agree with the particular individual. There would be a sense of co-creation and exchange rather than going into any [discussion] with the intention of 'correcting' any 'wrong' thinking, or to go in and call another [individual], using various benign- and not so benign-words, a prime idiot for believing/thinking/saying/doing that. All such self righteous actions would cease, or be something that other individuals would question.

The superior tones of self importance regarding *any* belief or perspective would cease, as would the self congratulatory enclaves when [an individual] dares to express something that the rest find ridiculous. There would be a genuine focus on exploring the skills of communication rather than debate; there would be a genuine interest in and exploration of the differences between the practical expressions and skills of a group that is consciously cultivating autonomy of all Beings. There would be an interest in expressing from "I" rather than globalising, which is an assumption that 'as it is for the individual expressing the opinion, it must also be so for everyone else'. Autonomy says otherwise.

This is what interests me. I've always been interested in connecting with individuals who genuinely want to explore the deep level expression of sui generis autonomy rather than engaging in heteronomous onanism. This is still my interest and intention. I am underwhelmed by the current possibility of true evolution on a planetary scale if the tone of this forum- in which the focus itself is in part supposedly towards doing things on this planet in a more cohesive and intelligent way- is any indicator. Fortunately for me, I have never been interested in mass conversion or dependent on the idea that the future of the planet relies on *everyone* Getting A Clue. Still, the level of uninspiration is rather a bummer.

So rather than being bummed I thought I'd send out a flare and see what it lit up. I am looking for individuals that want to approach all things from the perspective of a sui generis, autonomous Being, comfortable with the infinite possibility and expressions that arise from these, and who can tell the difference between acceptance of autonomy and having to participate in things Unfun.

To me, this is where my personal evolution is heading. Does anyone else want to play in this realm?

[ written 18th June 2012]

*these are now in the date order they were written as development of the original post and the responses. Same dealio with the editing.*

It's one of the reasons I keep [writing]- I too recognise the benefit of the fertile ground [discussion] presents when it comes to expansion and refining of signal. Having said that, I'm also aware that it is possible to find those who fundamentally get both the distinctions that I'm talking about *and* are actually interested in the subtle energetic signals that go with them. The Joker had a *lot* of interesting things to say about not letting the limitations and fears of others constrict one's sui generis- perhaps his method of expressing this was a tad explosive and yet in terms of the balancing act of reflection with Batman, necessary: nobody bothers how much firepower and heteronomy *Batman* is packing under his protective suit-*because his brand of heteronomy at times serves the majority's interests, while the Joker is only wearing a spiffy outfit and the conviction of his perspective and signal. Apparently that at least matches a billionaire's hi-tech toys- that in itself is an interesting message to explore, imo.

[here was a response that contained a link to this book:]



It was partly my deep law studies that helped me pinpoint the power of the sui generis in dismissing these [so-called consensual crimes]. Without going into it here, suffice to say that the law is built on the premise of heteronomy and a quick stroll through some of the definitions of 'human being' and 'person' in the law is an eye-opening reveal as to how the governing forces have construed human beings: I have found the term 'animals', 'chattel', 'cattle' and 'asset' to define 'human being'. The fundamental basis of heteronomy is the belief by those imposing the particular law that those having the law imposed on them are inferior and incompetent to manage their own affairs. There is a LOT in the law that assumes the incompetency of the masses- one of the markers for incompetency buried *within* the law itself is the marker for obeying these laws- it is fully known and understood by the lawmakers that those who *truly* know who they are will know a number of things, one of them being that the laws set up to manage a bunch of incompetent and homogenous minors do not apply to them. The lawmakers know that autonomous Beings don't argue with the court at a lower level- a competent and sui generis individual never deals with incompetents, which is what the lower courts are: doorkeepers set up to separate the minors from the rest.

The higher courts understand the true power of the sui generis. If anyone is interested, check out Alfred Adask and the way he dismissed the massive fines and threats against him by using his living Being as evidence of his own jurisdiction. I'm not going to get caught up in a discussion of the law though- there's enough of that out there and I was immersed in it for two solid years and walked away when I found the power of the sui generis when it's truly exercised. I discovered that there were precious few who wanted to talk about *that*- they preferred the war. *shrugs* The only reason I use the law now in my discussions is to demonstrate that I really do know the power of this key beyond the esoteric applications and perspectives. Part of the key is, *never argue with the minions* because they're trained to be traps, so they don't know this aspect of the law- go high enough and it is *absolutely* known, it's part of what the heteronomy has been striving desperately to hide.

Again I say- I am aware that the heteronomy itself operates within certain restrictions. Not being permitted to violate true free will is one of these restrictions. They're permitted to bamfoozle the issue of free will- and to bamfoozle even the term 'free will' itself- but if an individual stands before them who is utterly, completely in their sui generis their laws disappear like smoke. Know who you really are is a pulse that is beating ever more strongly in the collective consciousness, and for very very good reason: this is where the beginning of the real power resides.

I absolutely and utterly agree that the All is connected. That being said, the All as is [currently] expressed on this planet is a constant drag down the scale to the lowest common denominator, which is currently devolving ever lower. This simply is not the end of the scale I wish to play in- and absolutely never has been- and this in itself causes problems for those at that end of the scale: they have no grasp whatsoever of the concepts that I'm talking about and this makes them freak out. I've experienced this since the age of three. It hasn't improved in general, it's just that I'm much much more discerning of who I even think about revealing my Self to. This gap in not only [a comprehension issue] but the actual *ability* to make those kind of synaptic connections in the first place causes its *own* problems, one of the ones explored in the recent X-Men movie: how do a bunch of fundamentally and profoundly differently experiencing and thinking Beings exist in the world *without* those who *aren't* like them freaking out and throwing bombs on them?

So far, the answer has been, be invisible and don't rock the boat. This, however, is a profoundly unsatisfactory option- don't do anything to disturb the tranquil pond of the masses, despite the obvious issues- such as the pond being anything *but* tranquil. I'm not interested in the slightest with that option anymore, and I'm not interested in playing nice with the heteronomy that is pimped at me on a daily basis under the guise of being part of the 'All'- it's not 'All", it's very very selectively set up to NOT embrace expressions and experiences such as I Am. So it's an 'All' that is geared towards the perspective of the masses, the lowest common denominators, the collective- and the collective is constantly choosing heteronomy.

Hmm. Now it would *seem* we have a dilemma, unless the concept of true sui generis is willing to be explored. And that's the territory *I* want to be in- the X-Men movie that had the senator that was gunning against the mutants is a really good example of how the heteronomy will *always* seek to demonise the different: it HAS to, for its own virus based survival. I'm not interested in the All that has been infected by the virus- it's not permitted out in the rest of the multiverse so it's not going anywhere, it cannot evolve because that is against its fundamental tenets, so the only thing that can happen is dissolution. I'm already aware of that. What I'm exploring is the *next bit*- ok, sui generis autonomy, what exactly does that look like? How can it be expressed in such a way that a foundation platform is created from which to explore? The many questions that anyone creating a new platform asks. I'm looking for new points of triangulation from a research and development point of view. I am aware that there are many other roles, including those that want to try and bring the humans along. That's their sui generis and I respect it, AND I'm not going to assist them in that task because *I personally* see it as Sisyphean, given my singularity experience and history of this planet. There are others with a vast range of different interests in the same playing field. It is my intuition and calling to find the platforms that support this infinite variety in such a way that doesn't create the usual clusterfuck, because I don't know about anyone else but I am really really bored with that recursive scenario.

I'm not interested in playing nice, I'm interested in playing intelligently, robustly, innovatively and with utter sui generis. That at times makes me look like a cast iron pain in the arse. Sometimes, I don't just *look* like a cast iron pain in the arse, but comfort can be taken in the knowing that I'm primarily first and foremost a pain in my *own* arse.

More from that thread.

18th June 2012.

Here is where the previous writings on sui generis that I've done kick in. Sui generis autonomy is the recognition that just as one is one's own jurisdiction and authority, so are *all* their own authority *which means 'do no harm' is also part of the mix*. There can be no true autonomy without the deep recognition of the right of the Other to determine their own path and live into their own authority also- without this, autonomy simply because dictatorial dominance no matter where in the picture it is placed. Any time any group by whatever means acts as the authority for another Being that has a degree of competence, this is heteronomy and it carries the seeds of the virus, *always*. There is no way to create a virus free world on one side of the equation while holding heteronomy in the other. Heteronomy is dictatorship and the removal of another's free will in some way or another. Always. It is an incursion into another's sui generis, which is why the principle of 'do no harm' is embedded into true autonomy- we cannot invade the space of another in such a way that invades their integrity.

Integrity here is an important element. There are many that run rampant virus in the guise of 'integrity' and their 'rights'; it's up to us as individuals to discern the difference between autonomy and the perversions of it. If an individual is claiming that their autonomy allows them to invade, harm, interfere with or overpower another individual in any way, they're actually running heteronomy and domination. They have no integrity. I respond differently to these individuals.

In equity, there is a maxim: 'he who wishes equity must do equity'. This is a fundamental principle of autonomy: 'he who wishes autonomy must extend autonomy'. Part of the mark of heteronomy is the claiming of rights that are not extended to others in anything but lipservice. There are many subtle and toxic claims that invade and suck on the energy and sui generis of others with one hand while making grand gestures with the other. This is the way of all those who wreak harm on others. It doesn't matter that they *believe* their rhetoric or perspective, it doesn't matter how *sincere* they are: if any individual is attempting to invade the autonomy of another, they are actually agents for the virus. And the virus is a death signal. But in this, we're not talking about autonomy, are we: we're talking about a bunch of individuals who want to exercise their own brand of heteronomy on others. It isn't autonomy. Sui generis doesn't turn the other cheek- that's heteronomous distortion crap disguised as spirituality, designed to keep the heteronomy firmly in place without challenge- sui generis does not tolerate the abusers, the dictators and the manipulators. It calls these what they are, it sees things clearly and it moves in aikiddo with it.

[There is currently] the *claim* of ownership [on individuals and the planet]. This claim *first* needs to be dissolved *within me*, because there's no action I can take that will carry the power and resonance necessary if I haven't dealt with the internal belief and Monsanto coding that says I *can* be owned by another's will and dictatorship. This is what the heteronomy banks on, in part- we'll get caught up in the enormity of it all and be disempowered yet again. Did you ever see the movie A Bug's Life? The undoing of the grasshoppers is when the ants finally, truly find their power and then realise that, numbers wise, they vastly outweigh the small force of their opposers.

The heteronomy exists to demonstrate to the individual all the cracks and nooks where the autonomy fails to fill. There can be no real emptiness inside a Being- the physical universe doesn't roll that way, space isn't 'empty' and neither is the individual, so if the space is not filled with true autonomy then it's going to be filled by *something* and that's where heteronomy jumps up on to the podium with upraised hand and says 'hey, that's mine! I'm happy to take that!'. It's an individual's path, multiplied out into the billions- that's how it has been taken on, one mind and Being at a time, and it can be undone the same way. It's like this: remember Neo infecting Agent Smith and dissolving his avatar from within, not through war or fighting, but simply by being his true Self?

I have that knowing in me. What I know is, the attempts of group heteronomy failed in the sixties experiments of communal living and new ways of relating, as it has consistently failed in any other attempt. These always devolve into heteronomy of one kind or another, and then they tear themselves apart. Because of my early life and exposure to many cultures and perspectives, I have come to see the underlying heteronomy in *every system on the planet*; I spent time in the punk culture and that was when I saw the glimmer of a way out of the virus because the anarchy, as clumsily expressed as it was, was an attempt to turn towards the autonomy. I watched the virus infiltrate the punk culture, as it does with all subcultures: it's self learning, so it might flail at times while it attempts to catch up with the latest expression of the Essence, the evolution Consciousness, but it eventually is able to insert the heteronomy into any expression and suck it back down into the morass. There is no answer to this constant construement and absorption, the constant drive towards homogeny and neutralising the power contained in the I Am, unless that answer is the individual becoming utterly and completely immune to infection. The virus response to the increasing presence of the Immunes is to drug them into submission, call their immunity a condition that needs remedy, a problem that needs addressing- but the signal of Immunity is on the planet and each individual can tap into it if they want to.

I am not here to save the world. That's more heteronomy crap, because it demands we look *outside Self* for answers, inspiration, guidance, direction, again; that's the trap. The 'new spiritualists' who are simply more servants of new twists on the same old story speak of 'worldwide' evolution, grand visions of a planetary level up that brings all along with it- but this is crap. Externalising what I need *as a sui generis, utterly unique and autonomous Being* is nothing more than me falling for the same tricks and lies that the heteronomy has relied on for millenia. It's a submission to virus.

I don't need mass conversion in order for me to hold my sui generis within me. I am aware that the Monsanto codes are still in operation within my biology; it's how I know that this bespelling runs ridiculously deep in me and that there is nothing greater for my evolution than to deal with this within me, because I cannot be a signal for autonomy while ignoring that some part of me agrees to be a slave. I am embracing and dissolving those codes in every moment by constantly turning towards my original blueprint, my autonomy, living into a language and way of Being that hasn't been on this planet for millenia, so I'm not as graceful with it as **** is with her tai chi-

and I will be. I already am far more graceful and powerful than I was a year ago, six months ago, six weeks ago- I have been evolving the signal in every post I've written on it, embodying it deeper. I cannot do that for any other individual: I know the heteronomy says It Rules and it demonstrates this force on a daily basis, yet this I know: the virus in its controller form flees from me. The virus in its mirror form keeps revealing itself more and more, encouraging me to keep going and to embrace my autonomy in ever deepening ways. I am leaving fear behind because fear is what it feeds on. I don't have any answers to the masses, I just have the contrast between the fruits of the heteronomy and the fruits of sui generis. In my deepest place of Being, I know that my ability to embrace and wield my autonomy in a truly sui generis way is the key to unlocking the dormant Otherkind codes within me. I'm experiencing this in my physical world. I'm rebuilding my body from physical injury that includes *fused bones*. The sui generis is what I've got to offer. I know their law system recognises and is utterly undone by it. Their fictions cannot handle it in any way, but one can't deal with the minions, on any level, and that includes the 'expert' anythings.

[I stopped] looking at the outside forces, who always [told me] the heteronomy story of 'you are powerless'. Like everything else it pimps, this too is a lie, but until I *knew* this, balls to bone, [I wasn't yet my own One].

And that is precisely what autonomy, sui generis and absolute are all about.

I know consciousness, I don't know heaven, and I think I get what you're saying when you say 'kingdom of heaven': it's always been within. That sui generis, autonomous perspective transcends the heteronomous religions and death culture. Virus free.

There is a world of difference between *thinking* you are the One-





and knowing it.

Constant embodiment eventually becomes the unconscious competence, that which we do with the ease of Being. That's what I'm embracing, every day.

14th March.

I have discovered, since opening the Pub, that I have become a great deal more discriminating about what threads Out in The Forum I will venture into; I come here to dance, exchange pleasantries ( translation: cock about in an unseemly manner) and write socially destabilising haiku, *and* I'm discovering I only want to go to places where I can have an intelligent interchange, with a view to creating a platform of exchange about Useful Things to Do. I just can't get into the "HERE'S HORRIBLE THINGS' and "NO, HERE ARE THINGS EVEN MORE HORRIBLE"- I get that the whole construct is horrible, I got it before I was 7, sitting in front of the black and white telly sobbing my heart out at the images of starving children in Ethiopia and begging the adults around me to explain how this terrible thing could be happening. It hasn't gotten any less ugly in so many ways *and* the consciousness IS expanding- again, as a child I didn't experience having a truly intelligent conversation with anyone at all, and didn't experience it until I was in my late teens- these days we might be flung all over the planet BUT we're here, gathered together in this excellent establishment, being lewd and funny and irreverant, hanging out together with Beings from all over the 'Verse- and we're not ignoring what's happening, we're simply holding space in a way that doesn't look like the polite, or neat, or 'higher vibration'- wearing the right organic cotton uniform for 'enlightened' Beings, having the correct amount of correctly positioned Buddha statues in my house, having my toilet properly feng shooed- whatever it is that *other* Beings think is the right way to do things.

I don't care if an individual has Buddha statues or not- I've got one in my garden that has come to me through interesting ways- I move things around until they 'feel' right to me, I am open to energy AND I think this is beautiful-



and this- and



and this




There are so many ways of Being in the Multiverse, it's what I love about physical incarnation, what I love about evolution, about infinite possibility. I have been having a mighty struggle with the paradigm's assumption that it can OWN me, that it can RULE me, that it can ORDER me to obey its zillions of idiotic acts and statutes designed to strangle and mummify the Sui Generis of all Beings- and I have created the line in me, where I'm standing resolute, eyeballing the expression of the mindvirus that has been tearing at my body over the past 24 hours, shaking my head and spreading my arms out wide- YOU CAN'T HAVE ME, you have no jurisdiction when it comes to things between my Self and That Which Created Me, the identity of which is irrelevant. I will send my signal out into the Field regardless of your actions, I will embrace love and Sui Generis of all Beings regardless of how many piercings the paradigm thinks is 'too many', or how many tattoos are too many, or your 'rules' about monogamy, sexuality, age, what is and isn't acceptable- I will find MY way, whatever that looks like, and I'll celebrate the unique Being of everyone else that wants to turn up for my kind of party, or who wants to turn up for their own kind of party, or who wants to live in a cave, or who wants to have a bestselling novel, or who wants to wear suits and ties, or whoever wants to do whatever it is that their Essence calls them to.

I call out the mindvirus in every interaction, from within myself and if I see it lurking anywhere else. Sometimes I won't be able to be nice about it, depending on how serious the outbreak of it is- I don't want another soulbleeding encounter with that level if I can do something to avoid it- and I love being around other Beings who are as dedicated to the elimination of the mindvirus as I am, even if they're way of doing something about it looks nothing at all like mine. Fukc we're an awesome, awesome band of ragtag soul warriors, gathered from all points of the multiverse for this enormous work of dissolving a virus that has been infecting this planet and the Beings here for waaaaaaaay too long- we knew it was going to be hard, that we were going to get hammered, we were going to be aliens in a mindf*cked world- and we still showed up, we didn't back off from the task, because we knew that what was needed was for us to bring our signal, the strength of our frequency, our Sui Generis uniqueness, joined together into an unstoppable Song that simply reaches out to join that of the entire Multiverse. We can't fight them on their terms- who'd want to? Why bother with war and low vibration crap when we can LOVE and SING and open our Self to connection that blows the doors off any twisted thing that the lower vibrations can come up with?

Its' what I've got, so it's what I'm going with- and I'm going to do it with all the passion, vision and energy that I can muster, regardless of how much the mindvirus tries to convince me that my efforts are worth nothing- if that's true, why the beejums is it trying so hard to convince me?

and now, because I'm inspired to throw myself onto the dancefloor and get this energy higher, some karaoke! I love the sentiments expressed in this song, and she's cute too.

explicit lyric warning for those who don't like hearing it



finally, a haiku

Judgementalism!
Barium enema much?
Self righteous twaddle!

*dances into the crowd*- and I happen to be a great dancer...
