I'm thinking of giving this its own subforum or stickie, so that we can keep all the great, practical explorations and applications we're doing in one place. I have some online writers and visionaries that I like to support and whose work inspires me in my own, I'm sure others here do and it would be a great way of pooling resources.

I'd also like to move this forum to a more powerful energetic level by acting as a mastermind group for bringing our visions and expression into physical manifestation. I'm up for running a skype gathering for those interested, and I'll look into the process of recording sessions so that those not on the calls can have the resource. I'm with a geek, there are online conferencing and gathering mechanisms that will allow us to work together and deeply connect with the intention of inspiring and supporting one another in whatever it is that we are doing- personally, I know I'm aiming for a really major presence in the world with my work and that's what I'm focusing on, as well as the creation of practical projects in my Shire.

I'd like to share with everyone what my current visions, goals and aspirations are, so that you can support and inspire me with my Art and I can do the same for you. This isn't a work I'm going to extend to everyone that comes along- I'll eventually be closing the inner Pub Club and that will be the group that I do this with as I'm not into being a coach or similar, this is a mastermind group and they tend to be more specific. I'm also going to be doing this at a pretty deep level, so it's only going to suit those that are interested in deep autonomy, exploration and sui generis.

With that in mind, here's my current life in bullet form.

Personal relationships: I have three individuals that I'm exploring intimacy and relationship with- one long term relationship in my physical realm and two currently in the cyber world, relationships which I am sincerely hoping will move to my physical realm as well. I've another connection and that's more remote and fluid. Additionally, I have an Otherkind connection, very long term, and an Otherkind Cubus relationship.

I'm interested in exploring these relationships in a deep way, particularly with a view to energetic explorations of all kinds and with a view to expanding my own emotional evolution.

Children: I have six remaining children, two of whom - the Empress, 4, and SuperGirl, 8- are still at home. I have a 14 year old daughter that I would love to have home again. I am deeply committed to improving my connection with my daughters, by continuing to explore non-violent communication, autonomy, sui generis and respectful, non-invasive guardianship. I currently unschool my daughters, am looking for a live in nanny-tutor for them, and would consider a free (un)schooling situation for them if there was one locally.

Community projects:

A new live in community based on principles of natural and wild food farming, vegetarianism, sui generis and autonomy, non-violence (hence the vegetarianism), respect for all Beings, intentionally creating space for non-human Beings that might wish to show up. The community will also be a hosting centre for international refugees.

Establishing a free (un)school based on the principles of total sui generis, autonomy and non-violence within the community we're working to establish- I *love* learning and the concept of lifelong learning, I love social education and empowerment, so it makes sense.

Local Shire wide learning groups on the language and intention of sui generis and autonomy.

Creating a Byron Shire alternative to the detention centres for international refugees.
I cannot begin to express my feelings about the way that our so-called 'leaders' are handling this one.

Personal creative:

Filmmaking: I want to make films about my work!

Music: Creating the soundtracks the films.

Learning: I'm teaching my Self Japanese, Italian and a little Russian when I can get to it, French when it comes up.

Art: my own drawings are on hold at the moment, I've got so much on.

Gardening: creating our own garden so that I reduce how much I have to buy. I live in an area of many organic markets, so I can basically live organically.

Dance: I'm going back to regular dance- waterdance, 5Rhythms and contact improv- as soon as we're settled into the new house.

Martial arts: aikido, hapkido, taichi and qi gong.

That's it for now, there's more but I need to get this housemoving done with!

This is a recipe I made for my women's group that met last night, and it was enjoyed by all, with no leftovers at all...

LIVING LASAGNA

Make Rejuvelac:

Soak 2 cups organic wheat berries in 4 cups water overnight.

Drain, rinse well in cold water, and add 4 cups fresh water.

Let berries soak for 8 hours, then drain and save the liquid, store in a lidded jar in the refrigerator until needed. It should be a little bubbly and have a yeasty, fermented aroma.


Meanwhile

Soak 3 cups of organic almonds overnight in 5 cups water

(I recommend organic almonds since, though they are more expensive, are not irradiated like commercial almonds are, a process which kills the germ of life in the almonds.)

Drain, rinse well, and heat enough water to just before boiling point to cover the almonds, pour hot water over almonds, let sit for 30 seconds, then drain and rinse immediately with cold water. (This loosens the skins.)

Peel almonds. (You may want some volunteers, as this will take a while. An advantage would be a good movie to watch while peeling.

Blend peeled almonds and Rejuvelac to a paste, add a couple of capsules of probiotics if you have them.

Let sit in a bowl covered with cheesecloth (to protect from insects) at room temp. for 6-8 hours

Line another bowl with cheesecloth

Dump almond paste into lined bowl, pull the edges of the cheesecloth around the ball of paste, lift from bowl and squeeze out the Rejuvelac liquid.

Discard Rejuvelac.

Stir 2-4 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast and 2 teaspoons salt (or to taste) into almond paste, store in a covered container in refrigerator until needed.

Meanwhile:

Chop fine 5 cups of tomatoes

Slice thin 2 cups raw peeled eggplant rounds

Chop fine 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley

Chop fine 5 tablespoons of fresh basil leaves

Press 6 medium garlic cloves through a garlic press

Salt or tamari, white pepper to taste

Mix tomatoes, parsley, basil (or you can save the basil until last), garlic, salt or tamari, white pepper together

Marinate eggplant rounds in tomato mixture overnight in a covered container in the refrigerator

When you have all the above ingredients ready:

De-stem 5 cups of fresh, raw spinach leaves

Slice thin 1-2 cups sweet onion (Maui or Vidalia)

Grate 2 cups zucchini and/or crookneck squash

In a large casserole, first make an overlapping layer with the eggplant rounds, then cover with 1/4 of the tomato mixture, then a layer of onion slices, a layer of spinach and last, a layer of almond cheese.

Make a second layer with grated squash, ¼ of the tomato mix, a layer of spinach leaves topped with a layer of almond cheese.

The final layer is the remaining spinach covered with cheese, covered with the last of the tomato mixture and, if you wish, the chopped basil leaves.

Keep chilled and when ready to serve, cut into squares

Variations: put a layer of your favorite pesto on top

Add a cup of sundried tomatoes to the tomato mix

Experiment with a substitute for eggplant, instead making the bottom layer of a mixture of 1 cup grated, peeled butternut squash or sweet potato blended to a paste with 1 cup avocado and 1-2 cups soaked pecans, walnuts or pine nuts with a dash of miso or tamari

For soaked pecans, walnuts or pine nuts: just soak overnight in enough water to cover, drain, rinse and store in a covered container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Use within 1-2 days. Soaked nuts are enzymatically active, easier to digest and much less fattening.

( I haven't tried that substitute yet, but I plan to next time I make Living Lasagna...

Enjoy!

Mmmm this sounds delicious, must give it a go. Thank you Aquene

I'm wondering if there's any way to describe the skydragons in a physical way....

and my Otherness is amping. I really don't want to play human anymore- yet I can't see how to get around it...

I really get into this individual's writing and perspective- so inspiring and a great way of looking at a possible alternative universe right now.

I've been in an really interesting space over the past week. I touched on this briefly in another post today and I want to expand on it more here. I don't know if it's going to lead to something 'practical' but the exploration is where I'm at now.

I've been listening to a lot of conversations in the world around me, observing and sensing the flavour and energy of what individuals are putting out into the world. I have been more than underwhelmed at what's in the general, lately; the subject and vibration of the issues that are confronting the planet are so low, so gobsmackingly obvious and inane, so aligned with extinction on all levels, that I simply cannot engage in it on any level anymore. It is so abundantly clear to me that there is a gigantic, unbridgeable rift between the two different signals on this planet, on the one hand a great number of individuals and on the other a mere fraction of the population.

This makes utter sense to me, from an evolutionary point of view: (and interestingly, my energy is lifting greatly as I'm writing about this, so that's got my attention too) my geek inamorato (I have found a word that describes the relationship in a non-contractual or commercial way, hurrah!) and I were considering the issues of the numbers of individuals currently on the earth, from the perspective of the gene pool being able to throw out enough of a variable to create the right kind of signal that would *produce* the evolutionary leap. We agreed that the numbers seemed congruent with such a leap, that the statistical percentage of 'evolution' Beings vs the average seems consistent with the extinction numbers of past mass extinctions and the resurgent blooming of quantum evolution- so to us, things seem to be patterning correctly. This would indicate that *any* philosophy that floats on the idea of 'global conversion' doesn't grasp the significance of what is actually appearing on the surface of the world's societies- that, while there is a blossoming of evolutionary thought, signal, energy, perspective and spirituality from a certain expression of individuals, these are statistically insignificant in comparison to *how the bulk of the planet's inhabitants continue to operate* despite the increasing evidence of the end game their behaviours are leading to.

I have been wondering for some time now where this is going. Recently I was involved in an Otherrealms discussion regarding the sui generis and free will of all those Beings who are choosing such paths: fundamentally, the issue seemed to be the energy required to move 6.75 billion or so Beings *offplanet* somehow vs. shifting the far smaller number of conscious Beings. I know that free will came up in interesting ways, and that there was a far ranging discussion on sui generis that evolved me as I participated in it. There is a multiverse of difference between those that fully grok their sui generis and the power of it, and those that have are just thrashing around with their free will, hammering away at the fabric of the universe with the insensitivity of the spiritually dead and there is awareness of the continued harm such mindless misuse and contortion of free will is creating; the outcome of this is that it is impossible to behave in full sui generis operation with individuals who do not grok it fully. It's simply not possible.

I've been thinking about this in depth lately, observing the society around me and running the frequency to see what happens, both within and without me. Here's what I've observed: I'm speaking a language that the average individual simply cannot grasp. They twitch uncomfortably, or become slightly blank, all the same signals that I've observed when in the past I've been discussing subjects that are simply beyond the listener. I've tried playing with lowering the signal, simplifying it, and the results are the same: there are those Beings that can grasp the essence of the language, and then there are the vast majority that simply cannot make the leap that the language asks of them.

So few grok what I'm striving to do with the sui generis/autonomy language. I'm beginning to realise that for me to get into truly interesting territory with this, I'm going to have to move into very specific groups and territories, very specific frequencies: I simply have nothing to do with the general anymore, there is nothing there for me. I am being called to deeper exploration- perhaps that's why Prometheus has been on my mind today, despite having no interest in seeing the film; I get the passion of a call within that inspires one to travel millions of miles through space seeking something Other, seeking a different signal. I have that. It's in me now like a constant ache, this longing for something that is beyond the constrictions and limitations that the society around me describes as 'free thinking'. There is nothing interesting in that space for me- I'm reaching towards a signal that doesn't even have a language here, that I struggle to express, to bring into Being when there are so few that are prepared to engage it in a *truly* evolutionary way, with embodying it on a daily basis, letting it permeate their Being in such a way as to weave its magic on every level of embodiment that is possible to express, known and unknown, moving into the purely instinctual and wordless realms with the wide eyed desire of every explorer and psychonaut that's ever been. There's no other way I want to live; there's no other way for me to live in to this exploration and evolution; all the markers and parameters that currently exist only define and bespeak the heteronomy rather than express the experience and embodiment of autonomy. I'm hungering and thirsting, starving, for the richness of Being that sits like a fertile seed within the lush womb of my Creativity; I ache for the touch of an energy and Beingness that can encompass and breathe back to me the evolution that strives to emerge from within me, so that I can triangulate it all in the way that I love to do. I am reminded in the energetic realms that there are far more profound ways of connecting, of exploring the language.

I'm working on all that.

I can relate....

The news about India's energy grid failure has been very sobering.
The infrastructure in the US is falling apart, and power failures here can be devastating too.
I know the MSM doesn't give us anything like the real picture as to just how fragile the system is that we depend on for our survival.

My mentor Dr. Hills was talking about this back in the 70s; he could already see it coming.
I read this article today at:
http://www.naturalnews.com/036640_India_power_grid_failure.html
and for some reason thought about the Ayn Rand book Atlas Shrugged, which I first read when I was in my 20s.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_Shrugged
To refresh your memory, or if you haven't read it, there was a millionaire who created a safe, hidden community somewhere high in the mountains of a remote region, as he saw the collapse of civilization coming, and he invited those he knew who were awake to join him there.
I wonder if there are any liberal millionaires ( billionaires, these days) who are creating similar havens and keeping them secret.
(Not referring to the Illuminati's DUMBS, of course...)

(According to Sen. Bernie Sanders, the conservative billionaires are spending plenty for buying the next POTUS election,
http://www.sanders.senate.gov/imo/media ... ires11.pdf
but that's another story...)


One person I know of who is creating a haven, though he's far from being a millionaire, is Dr. Mark Sircus, who was also a student of Dr. Hills years ago, and who now lives in a remote region of Brazil in a small community that he is making as self sufficient as possible, though he is keeping a foot in both worlds.

Have you all seen the movie Until the End of the World?
I highly recommend it.
I think it used to be on Netflix, but is no longer.
You can read a synopsis here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Until_the_End_of_the_World
you can see the trailer here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101458/

It's interesting that Until the End of the World shows a community in the Australian outback surviving the apocalypse, and in one of the first movies about apocalypse on Earth, On the Beach, Oz is also portrayed as a haven from the collapse of civilization.
Probably due to the most ancient Aborigine culture that has survived there for so long.

I am in a similar curious kind of space as Songs describes.
I think it's why I want to get back to work on my life story.
That works creates a kind of containment space for my energies that feels good and appropriate right now.
I will also be working on collages, and will continue to check in here,
I'm very interested to see what Songs will be cooking up for us...

Have you all seen the Acknowledgements thread on PA?
I wonder if it is some kind of swansong...

Well, I certainly have been meandering here, so guilty as charged, Songs.
Hoping you can bring us some good focusing points.

I just saw this list of sacred sites in Australia from Tyberonn of earth_keeper.com
Thought it might be of interest to some of you there in Oz

The following is written from my sui generis, subjective position. This is how I see things, not a statement as to the 'way things are'- all my work is created from this perspective.

As I experience it, all of the infrastructures that have been created on this planet- with one major exception- have been created with a blind eye towards true connectedness and sustainability. The major exception is the many headed hydra of the internet, which the authorities are desperately attempting to rein in but have discovered that to do so would seriously cripple their financial systems. The thing that interests me is that there aren't *more* failures of the fragile life support and energy transportation systems that surround us, and it is my intuition that this has been deliberately supported that way energetically until the end point comes.

For a long time I puzzled as to energy's insistence that I live in this region of Australia, which is some of the most expensive real estate in the country; I puzzled about it *until* I discovered that the Mullumbimby underground aquifer- the one that my deep bore, pure drinking water on this property comes from- is entirely independent from the main artesian basin in the rest of Australia. This means that the coal seam gas mining contamination can only appear here IF the locals permit it- and they do *not*. They are prepared to go as far as things have to go to protect their water supply and arable soil.

This is part of the reason that I am here. There is a far greater concentration of conscious Beings here in this part of the land than there is in any other- there *are* other communities, but the numbers are far smaller. Here in this region there is far greater awareness of the many issues coupled with a willingness to do something about these issues - and for me, this is the truly important factor. I am aware that I want to connect with individuals *that are prepared to make shifts in their lives in order to facilitate the evolution they are calling for*: so many are like those in Avalon (which I have taken to calling Getalong, which is what it's really all about- the useless stroking of egos and exchanging of flowery and empty sentimental rubbish, rather than actual evolution), content to sit in front of their computers and talk big, tearing down others in the process, offering nothing of value whatsoever and being determined to stifle and strangle the efforts of others who do attempt to make the shift. The value in these ones is an oblique one- they serve as an excellent warning for those that might be tempted to engage with those mentalities as if they were capable of evolution; they serve as a trap and energy harvest space to drain the impetus for evolution from any who venture there. I'm not interested in those spaces at all, now that I have learned what they truly are: let the dead bury the dead, Curtis reminded me, and now it is part of my compass guide.

The lessons of India and Japan serve as warnings in those countries that do not have as strong a culture of caring for one another as these do- and India has far less of a compassionate culture than Japan does, in many ways. These infrastructure collapses are the macro expression of the environments that they are occurring in- and they will spread as the collapse of the micro systems of individuals and their psychological and social systems gains momentum, which I personally observe happening both locally and more widespread.

I've got to go take the Empress to circus training now, will continue this later.
