Citizen or Consumer?
On July 4, declare independence from corporate rule.A corporation is not a person. It’s an organizational structure that has no morality and feels no remorse. Yet the modern corporation enjoys the same rights as you or I: free speech, the ability to own property, the right to lobby government officials and protection against self-incrimination. Decades of deregulation and laissez-faire capitalist ideology have allowed corporations to steer the world's political, economic, environmental and cultural agendas.We need a contemporary insurrection to reclaim our democracy, our freedom and our country. We must challenge corporations and take back what is rightfully ours. Flying the Corporate America Flag as a symbol of our rebellion, let's make this July 4 the beginning of the second American Revolution. Let’s declare our independence from corporate rule
HELP US!
We’re thrilled about our recent victory in the BC Court of Appeal, but the battle is far from over. Leonard Asper and his CanWest cronies have appealed our victory to the Supreme Court of Canada. Our lawyers tell us they don’t stand a chance … they’re just trying to deplete our coffers.This fight is about media democracy, the voice of civil society and Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which gives every human being on the planet the right to seek, receive and impart information without hindrance.Don’t let Leonard get away with his blatant censorship of the public airwaves. To continue this fight, we must raise $50,000 to cover legal costs – we’ve already raised $12,000. Please go to www.adbusters.org/donate and put something into our coffers.
SEND US YOUR THOUGHTS
...Adbusters #85, Thought Control in Economics, is only a few days away from deadline. We’ve got maverick economists like Herman Daly and Lourdes Beneria offering their views about the current crisis and interviews with Nobel Prize winners George Akerlof, Paul Samuelson and Joseph Stiglitz. But we need your intimate epiphanies peppered throughout … send something juicy to editor@adbusters.org. If you’re an economics student anywhere in the world craving a different point of view, get in touch with us and we’ll send you a complimentary copy of the issue.

I Cor 12:12
The sky opened.
It was time for that dormant reality to return,
To descend upon this earth.
It was the sun,
Or what we’d thought was the sun
Which appeared to open up,
Like it had been a hole in a shell surrounding us.
Perhaps the fall of Humpty was actually his birth
As he was nowhere to be found.
The sky hatched - humanity was hatching.
It was that time again –
We had been sat on the wall between good and evil long enough
This paradox, was about to be reconciled
As we gained a new reality
Which for many, was abrupt and instantaneous.
Initially, there was a silence,
Not dissimilar to the one I had felt
In the car park of Tesco
During the total solar eclipse
At the end of the last century.
But as the sky fell away
And the light flooded in
I could hear the screams
Of those calcified minds breaking.
We had tried to teach as many as we could –
Tried to save them,
But the scientific era had firmly rooted a world order in materiality,
And naturally, this had become the norm for those poor children.
Little did they know,
This was only the beginning of what was to come,
As the fire began to roll in,
Replacing the air around us.
Lungs burning, cheeks scolding,
Tongues lashing, skin peeling.
Something of a horror movie.
This was the destruction of the five physical senses.
Each of us maintained our awareness
But the flesh which had clothed us
Was being stripped away.
For those who lived in their bodies,
Who worshiped themselves
And adored perfect buttocks
And pert breasts
Six packs and pectorals –
Those who spent their time clutching the physical form
Felt the pain the worst.
They walked like the zombies we had seen in films
Images of agony: Images of their god –
The physical, the physique.
Subtly, western ideology had regressed
To a Greco adoration of the physical
In pursuit of the ideal, to become gods.
Hours in the gym, millions spent on plastic surgery –
Servitude to this greedy cunning god – thief of soul.
He had found great power with the advent of television
Quickly procuring control.
What had been an opportunity to release countless children,
Had become a weapon in the hands of death.
At this point we reassured ourselves,
For not every soul had reached expression,
But still the light could never be reduced,
Never be extinguished.
Death’s bounty would be short lived,
For once the bodies were gone
They would be released
And the cycle would begin again.
This apparent apocalypse was the quickening of Karma.
We had all suffered along the way,
For that is how we had learnt,
That is how we all learn the value
And the preciousness of life.
Many had been considered evil,
Oppressors – working for death,
But it was dependent upon motivation.
Some understood the purpose behind their actions
And carried out heinous acts, or made catastrophic decisions
In sympathy of the human condition;
In the hope that humanity would return.
And it was apparent as the fire engulfed them,
Their forms remained untouched.
Whilst others driven by their passions and greed were boiling in their blood
Their teeth were brazing their gums,
Their eyeballs were coagulating and spurting like ripened boils.
For those individuals, the apocalypse was real,
It was hell on earth.
And, as always, there was much sin to be cleansed.
This event would stain their mindstreams for eternity, as it did ours,
Enabling a return with humility.
Temporarily stunned at the world in flux, we knew we had much to do
Collecting the fragments of light - of children yet unexpressed.
We set about gathering them.
They were shaken by the experience which in human time
Had taken perhaps a thousand years.
Pity those souls.
They lay scattered around
Much like victims of an earthquake
In a state of bewilderment – shock we would have called it.
They would be ok,
Or rather, we would be ok
Once we knew we were together
Not alone, but One, and that we had survived beyond all doubt.
It took time to gather ourself,
Many had fled from shock, or hidden in the early stages,
But gradually we began to come together and, rejoice.
And it was good. Good to be One again.
Many happy returns and reunions
Of thoughts – some, seemingly forgotten in time.
There was much story telling and acting out –
Like Shakespeare’s Globe in the cosmos!
In fact, it was time for us to take up our pens again and rewrite,
For here we were, alpha, alpha again.
What garden would teach all?
How could we ensure our Word would remain accessible?
Just how did Kether do it?
I guess we were to learn, in fact as Bina had said
“If I stop learning, I stop teaching.”
Her children were always so happy, so creative…
Like us… and that is the simple message we had to teach,
We have our world to nurture.
It begins.

What if We Knew the Truth: Ron Paul
This is one of the most powerful messages ever delivered by anyone on the floor of the United States House of Representatives. Congressman Ron Paul's searing series of questions cuts through the lies, evasions, fabrications, and untruths at the heart of the regime. This four minute statement is the courageous summation of all he's seen and spoken of in his over thirty years as the conscience of America. For how long and at what dire peril can the nation continue to ignore these long festering buried truths he exposes? I have never been more proud to be a supporter of Dr. Paul than after hearing and seeing him today.

FOREST GARDENING
Forest Gardening Part 1
Forest Gardening Part 2
Is this EDEN???????????????????????????
SOLUTIONS TO THE FOOD CRISIS
For all those who have their eyes closed, if the economy collapses, in this country at least - much like Germany in 1923, this is preceeded by hyper inflation - like we see in Zimbabwe NOW. This means that a loaf of bread for instance costs say £1,000,000 - did you ever see videos of Germans with wheel barrows of money on their way to the shop have a look on youtube..
Think about and research what the EU have done to our agricultural policies and laws recently. The Government has actually put a limit on the numbert of trees farmers are allowed on their land in order for them to receive payouts. If there are too many trees on a piece of land, the Govt classes it as woodland and therefore not viable for cash handouts, which unfortunately, due to the monopoly the supermarkets and transnational grain companies have over the food industry, the farmers feel they need to stay afloat.
Anyway, if the economy collapses, like many believe it is PLANNED to do so, there will be no more food imports. that means there could be 65,000,000 mouths to feed in this country. We currently grow very little food. That means lots of hungry mouths - and as a friend of mine once said, "people start acting funny when there is no food..." think 28 days later...
The solution? well here is one possible solution, in fact it is part THE solution (Permalculture); Forest Gardens!! If these gardens could be planted everywhere we would be fine. Food producing plants once populated much of our countryside, in fact we grew food all around our towns and villages, we even had urban orchards! All since been destroyed. If people have freely available food, why would they work??
I'm getting blue in the face trying to tell people what will happen if we fail to open our eyes. I have started my forest garden, have you yours??
If you dont have a garden, just go and buy an apple tree.. go out somewhere and plant it.. at least thats one place you know you can find food if ever you need to!

Just like in the book Ecotopia by Ernest Callenbach - packaging, cups, bags, plates, knives forks spoons and more all made from fully compostable plastics!! Don't believe me? Check it out!!
In the book, these naturally derived plastics replace all the oil-based plastics, because once used, whether a plastic cup or packet for your sweets, can simply be chucked on the ground to decompose... alternatively, after use, the plastics can be dropped into industrial composting vats containing certain enzymes that break the plastic down back to its organic compound and then spread upon the fields like green waste!! nice.
These guys provided the plastic cups at Shambala Festival this year...

Jackdaw by Gibbo
Cut and pasted from http://miltonkeynes.com/gibbos-gob.html
I got out of bed this morning at about seven o’clock, opened my back door and watched, in the garden a jackdaw trying to feed from a bird feeder designed for sparrows.
Watching his complex movements, not just in his flight, but even moving his head from side to side, every muscle working independently, not random, but with total control. I started thinking about all of the individual cells in his body working independently, yet as a team in perfect unison. The way this fragile body is just a vessel for millions of micro organisms to live and survive in. The way that these organisms use the bird and give it only just enough brain power to think about feeding and reproducing.
It’s not that the bird was hungry, or starving, he saw the nuts which were, to me, obviously inaccessible to it however hard it would try. The only way he would get the food inside the feeder would be to destroy it.
The workings of the jackdaw’s body would be far too complicated for it to understand, which makes me feel that the brain is being controlled by the physical mass of living cells in the bird rather than vice-versa. How else would such a complicated creature behave so stupid?
I find it difficult to understand how any creature could design itself, yet not understand anything about itself. He is obviously doing o.k. in life, surviving, even with its crazy ways and instincts in the bird’s tiny brain. (I.e. get the nuts which it doesn’t need by destroying the food source)
This started to ring many bells in my tiny brain. We humans are exactly the same. Destructive, unknowingly maybe in most cases, that we are destroying everything for stuff which we don’t even need, including the vast amounts of food produced just to be thrown away, unknowing of the land clearance and habitat destruction to get us the food, only to be wasted.
Watching the bird’s behaviour, I found it to be totally irrational. I noticed this because I am supposed to be more intelligent than this creature. So who is there to tell us the error of our ways, if we really are the most intelligent beings on the planet, and possibly the universe? This doesn’t give us much hope does it? We have a responsibility to everything which is too massive to comprehend. We are growing and expanding at an almighty rate compared with everything else. Or at least it feels like we are. We have been consuming and destroying all, and it is only going to get worse.
We, unlike the jackdaw, have something extra. It’s called arrogance. We are mostly too arrogant to admit that we are doing it all wrong, and too stupid to stop. We feed on greed and thrive on destruction. We only know what we feel, and I fear that greed feels good.
The existing universe as we know it doesn’t care if we live or die. There is nothing that exists now that didn’t exist before. It just changes shape, size and form, and is all relative. When we die we just change form, but it is our consciousness that we strive to maintain. Consciousness is life.
Wrong information has been passed down in our physical make up for many generations and we truly are just animals. No different to the jackdaw in many ways, and is relative to how intelligent another being is and to whether or not they were watching us asking themselves, why are those creatures behaving so irrationally and stupid, can’t they see that it doesn’t work like that? In my eyes the whole system is wrong. Nothing makes sense, and nothing works. Nothing adds up. Many people are looking for the answers, and I can be almost certain that the answers we seek are staring us in the face. If only there was some being with more brain power to give us a hint.

Shambala Toilet Spilff
the world is like a festival toilet..
(it provides us with the opportunity to find relief and expression)
if you clean up after yourself
(ethics)
it remains pleasant
(unpolluted/functioning)
for the next visitor
(our children?)
and perhaps you again!
(reincarnation?)
so give
and take time
to tidy up
long may it remain nice
for the next person
plopping in!

not a poem
inspiration is a gift
a gift we give
it is a gift well received
especially when it takes seed
optimism is a gift
a gift we give
it is the gift of will
the will to succeed
the leaves collect light
and produce energy
the very limbs
are drawn towards the sun
from the soil we recieve
nutrients, minerals
and water - best of all
this brings growth
buds appear and take form
the shielded petals
like a butterfly in a crysallis
fill with colour and beauty
the artist unfolds the canvas
the butterfly emerges, the petals open
and bees and hoverflies, butterflies too
come and see the exhibition
some move on
others collect
ideas are exchanged
some sniff and rub
and get excited!!!
and pollination!!!
ejaculation!!!
a masterpiece is concieved!
the exhibition is over
paintings fall
canvas left to decompose
a plant is weakest after flowering
butterfly eggs
healthy leaves
collecting more energy
more nutrients from the soil
and water - the best of all
a fruit is emerging
it looks sumptuous
it smells divine
its colour is rich and deep
it contains more seeds
the fruits are passed around
some like peaches
others like kiwi
banana, mango.
life is a gift
a gift we give
life is the most precious
it is the opportunity to see
love is a gift
a gift we give
remember, experience, feel, and taste
in all its expressions.
this is for the next person to finish
goodbye.

Some News from Escragon
Dear Fello Passangers,
It's been a good week in Ecotopia, with the official announcement that "the consumer age is over" rising food, oil and fuel prices or the engineering of the 'new scarcity' and the establishment's realisation that the 'fundamental anomoly' has no forseable solution; the transition which started some years ago is ALL GO.
The Clestine prophecy was, IS, true and the Psi consciousness stream is full steam ahead. If this is gobble-dee-goop forgive me, but for the mean time any family out there will understand and forgive all the inverted commas everywhere! Luckily the manuscript was found and read by a member of Adam, reactivating the Perennial Philosophy to coin Huxley's terminology.

It's been a good week in Ecotopia, with the official announcement that "the consumer age is over" rising food, oil and fuel prices or the engineering of the 'new scarcity' and the establishment's realisation that the 'fundamental anomoly' has no forseable solution; the transition which started some years ago is ALL GO.
The Clestine prophecy was, IS, true and the Psi consciousness stream is full steam ahead. If this is gobble-dee-goop forgive me, but for the mean time any family out there will understand and forgive all the inverted commas everywhere! Luckily the manuscript was found and read by a member of Adam, reactivating the Perennial Philosophy to coin Huxley's terminology.

Common Sense
this isn't a poem, but...
its no longer feasable to worship, something outside the body
some mythical god elsewhere, we cant pray to something when we dont
know what it is... but now it is obvious where to worship -
where to send energy and thanks and praise and worship..
its inside us
this thing to worship
it is in every living thing
it is like the life in the heart...
it is life
it is energy
it is living
in every living thing
this god
is life itself
it is not elsewhere
hidden in the universe
it is here, now, living
this light, the driving light
eternal flame
is in every, cell, plant, animal, body - planet...
it is bright
in any dark hour
no bastard will turn this world to stone
with concrete jungles
cus the stone will crack..
and a tiny plant, animal anything
will grow
with an invincible will to live
to grow up - towards the light - photokinetic..
to spread its branches
leaves/limbs gather light
and then it flowers
it brings colour to the world
it drops seeds
and it passes away
but lives on
in another generation
more abundant
floribunda
more seeds
more colour
more cracks in the concrete

HOPE LIVES : HATRED KILLS
My Will and my Hope will not be shaken.
We CAN and DO maintain and increase freedom from strife, this is a true human intention.
Conspiracy theorists may be accused of destrying hope with a pessimistic reality of opinions, however when opinions are backed up by facts they are no longer opinion.
Hope is for many, currently in short supply. We can see this clearly by the rising levels of disatisfaction/depression/sadness/suicide etc and the accompanying increase in consumerism - material satisfaction which attempts to fill the void once warmly inhabited by happiness; belonging, esteem, love and self expression. A majority of people still express themselves through the products they buy and display, and subsequently discard. Fashions, holidays, cars, watches, wide screen, flat screen, high definition... represent ephemeral or temporary attempts at happiness, at filling a VOID of happiness.
For the sad fact that, for many, Hope is in short supply; when a person suggests something that is adverse to, or threatens our comfortable reality we are instantly protective, dismissive, even agressively opposed to their suggestion. The natural self preservation that constitutes an aspect of the Ego wants to maintain our pesonal happiness, even if it is at the expense of others. Self preservation is a vital quality, but when it is retarded by a dominant Ego it becomes destructive.
For any self-conscious person, that is a person who possesses that human faculty of contemplation which sets us apart from the animals of this world, reality is controlled by their environment of ideas. That is, the information which enters their mind shapes their perception of the reality that surrounds them... the synthesis or collation of these ideas constitutes how they perceive the world to be.
For a majority of the population, their main source of information is the filtered, sensored, controlled media - newspapers and TV. This concensus reality of ideas is then crystallised or re-enforced by popular discussion (gossip) of these themes. This becomes concensus reality and the plethora of diverse facts presented by this mainstream media forms an entire reality map referred to as public opinion, which in turn re-enforces the original set of ideas/mainstream reality and can be used as a tool to sway a majority in favour of a policy, or to advocate a policy in what is now referred to as a Democracy.
This comfortable, mainstream reality is then rigorously protected by the majority, which makes it easier for atrocities to remain undetected or pass without discussion amid a civilisation which is described as a 'democracy'. IN A TRUE DEMOCRACY ALL PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS ARE DISCUSSED OPENLY. The fact that the true corruption of our liberty as equal human beings is not advertised by our assumed superiors, for instance we cannot pass freely through imaginary or political borders separating different areas of the world since the introduction of passports, is another example of how undemocratic the mainstream reality is. Passports simply did not exist in Europe until World War 1, so this "great war", 40 million killed to protect our freedom (from who?) ultimately resulted in the restriction of our free movement, much like the difficulties any nomadic faces, whether a gypsy, traveller, red indian... living lightly, moving across the earth not fixed to it like a huge blood-sucking parasite, also known as an industrial city. It is easier to control your livestock when they are herded or better still confined to a field - a reality field?
I WILL NOT SIT HERE, OR CONTINUE TO WORK AND LIVE IN DENIAL OF THE MONSTROSITIES AND CONCEALED ATROCITIES TAKING PLACE !!!NOW!!! However much I am expected to by those advocates of concensus, corporate, mainstream reality. It is too obviously a misdimeanor. We can see for FACT that there are at least two opposing realities. Here is a simple example - The music industry: There is no denial of the corporate music industry, manufactured bands, promos and fan clubs selling celenders and mugs and t-shirts to accompany their archetypal human product or image that people actually aspire to become. Then we have the real musicians, paid to mime on TV in the back ground of the latest POP IDOL. We have the real musicians - talented, creative, expressive, people, often poor and denied opportunity, the opportunity to live their talent, share their talent, spread their enthusiasm and love of playing, and seldom do they experience the return of their energies... yes make a living from it and to be able to LIVE WHO THEY ARE and be considered to be true contributors to the quality of our life - the aleviation of suffering and unhappiness, that is all it is, but too many feel that a man contributes more who commands a repectable job, lives in a respectable house, pays his bills, taxes, funds the war machine. A small financial settlement does little for a community in reality. I will pay my taxes, but I can do more than this, paying your taxes is peacemeal. It's for drop-outs, cop-outs and devised by international husslers to fund their international hit men, men and women who joined to protect us from invaders have been assigned the role of invasion, to protect your comfort zone, to protect their profits, to fund more wars, to secure more resources (that includes us human life-stock) to be able to remove more of our wealth from our planet to sell to consumers, when in true reality we are creators.
When a person tells you to 'get real', on the whole what they mean is, think more like me and i will consider you to be more valid. Thus an institutionalised person will accept other institutionalised people to be more 'real' or worthwhile than a person who sweeps floors for a living, has no formal education/qualifications or lives in a truck for example and in many cases vice versa. So yes perhaps i favour real musicians instead of over-produced and promoted boy bands and covers singers. Forgive me if you will!
So this protection of concensus, mainstream corporate reality from what is perceived as the destruction of Hope... "I hope Boyzone reform and bring out a new album, I hope Barack Obama is going to change things for the better... I hope fuel prices go down... I hope Tesco doesn't run out of wheat..." is the manifestation of what philosophers might call repressive desublimation. I am unhappy, but products make me happy, i hope i can buy more products and more falacies that maintain my happiness far far into the future..." 'Bread and circuses' Ceasar might say. Or if you prefer, as Walter Benjamin wrote at the beginning of the last fascist era:
"Nur um der Hoffnungslosen willen ist uns die Hoffnung gegeben."
- "It is only for the sake of those without hope that hope is given to us."
This repressive desublimation is the protection of a comfortable reality, at the expense of real happiness. Do you understand? We are no longer united in the preservation of life, in the pursuit of quality of life, we are mechanised, we are technocentricated, we are engineering temporary happiness from natural resources, the VOID that was Wisdom will be the gold draped across our bodies, the VOID that was Hope will be the diamonds encrusting our ragged remains, the VOID that was Will or Courage will be the oil that has been pumped from our body leaving us stiff and grinding away at the bones, unlubricated, crusty and hagged.

I WILL NOT SIT HERE SILENT WHILST LIFE IS BEING DESTROYED. I CANNOT SIT AND WATCH. I WILL NOT WORK FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN LIFE.
Conspiracy theorists as a majority of the population of this planet call them do not intend to destroy Hope, they are Warriors of Hope. How can I prove this? Simply because knowingly or not, they are identifying the source of suffering in this world. True there is much that is circumstantial, or without evidence and for the time being this cannot be presented as fact, but many are bringing to light the evidence required to tip the critical mass out of concensus reality, into absolute reality.
If i am to be considered by some as a conspiracy theorist, know this... I am doing it for my children, for our children and for their children's children and for their children's children's children's children, because in a selfish way I know I will be back here again some day and I want it to have improved like it always has since time immemorial.
To solve a problem, first you must acknowledge there is a problem, if you have no concept of true quality of life you will never know what is missing.
second you must identify the source of these problems, such as environmental degradation, selfishness, consumerism, celebrity iconolgy, individuation or social division (divide and conquer)
then you must find the alternatives, so instead of thinking he/she is black i am white, he/she is muslim i am christain, look for the similarities you share - that similarity of spirit - the sharde love for life, truth, happiness, humaness, natural wilderness, the sea, the jungle, the sky... we all love them.
finally you must bring your realisations into reality - manifest them so that we can transcend the sources of the problems and the problems are extinguished as opposed to forgotten or covered-up. This is The Way to liberation. So we know that war causes death and destruction of our planet, we know that ridiculous amounts of money/energy go into devising ever more lethal weapons and the deployment of these. It is a simple fact that if we united humans, united in the preservation of life stopped devising, making, selling, promoting, playing with anything that promotes death we would end a massive extent of human and animal suffering. And all that energy that was consumed by war and dispute could be better applied by providing free energy sources and ensuring we clean our waterways from chemicals and disease and we could realise that we are in fact a HUMAN FAMILY and it is not a RACE, there is no competition except to devise a better way of life than this toxic destructive pattern we have been bound up in.
LOVE LIVES : HATRED KILLS
You can hate me, you can kill me but Love will live on forever and if it cannot exist on this planet because you insist on its destruction here, it will find another place to inhabit, that is why I personally urge you to make love your way of life, make it your mission to accept your neighbor's cultural or religious differences, because at the end of the day, they want the same thing - freedom from sadness, liberation, belonging, unity, and peace; all that embodies love - timeless eternal natural desires, free from conditioning and whimsical material desires. And i say again, if you will not allow love to exist in your world, then it will leave you behind and you will remain in a most fearful state; a world devoid of happiness, nature, freedom, light.
I AM LIVING
I AM DYING
SIMULTANEOUSLY!
There are two truths to every reality, so do you wish to live or die? Do you wish to worship the widescreen, flatscreen, high definition creator of corporate reality, or do you choose to create your own reality? Are you without hope so much that you are happy for someone to provide it for you, or do you have a hope deep inside that is not selfish and you wish to share, that you think might offer an alternative to an issue?
My advice is SHARE IT... LIVE IT... BE IT or else you might find yourself living someone else's reality. And if you think I am pessimistic, sad, melancholy when I express my concerns for your life, I apologise but a problem shared is a problem halved is it not?
As long as we maintain thoughts of "they abused me, they robbed me, they hurt me..."
Hatred remains alive.
As long as we hope and work towards finding both an inner peace and creating the opportunity for outer peace, we are truly living. As long as we fight and cheat for temporary gratifications we are truly and spiritually dying.
So in my mind I strive to look for similarity of spirit and to promote life, not death as a way of living. Even when I am unhappy.
We CAN and DO maintain and increase freedom from strife, this is a true human intention.

creator or consumer?
...and then somebody realised that money was just a big joke. It was a test by those illumined ones amongst us to preoccupy ourselves. It's not a very funny joke for those people who are poor who are killed over money i hear you say, but they are killed by people who take money too seriously in the pursuit of their riches. And people started catching on, knowing that money does indeed exist, but that it is just a tool like a bottle opener, or a screwdriver. Those who had killed and sacrificed everything in its pursuit were left looking like selfish greedy fools, and those who had little were once again accepted as equals and it was found that once these poor were accepted into the community they actually had amazing skills and great depth which those whom were previously admired were seriously lacking. In fact many agreed that the poor sought their pleasure in their friends and family and making jokes and taking the piss out of life, and developing skills and hobbies as opposed to feeling "powerful" and "successful", becuase along with the revelation that it had been a joke all along, or more of a lesson, the antiquated concept of the alpha male died its worthless death. Alpha male now meant little more that the paper, money was printed upon...
"it's kind of like a tribe, but bigger and more soulful... i mean yes we all had our communities and groups of friends and family before, but now we can understand on the big scale that we all contribute something towards this place - our home - our house - the world!!; some of us actually like collecteing wood, some of us love electronics and trying to develop the most efficient solar leaves possible, and some of us enojoy cooking and hunting down the nicest herbs! me personally, i love to sing and play guitar, its great when everybody has done a good day and felt they moved forward when we sit down and drink a cider or three, sing songs about how far we have come and how much more there is too see and fee,l and how good it is to feel we are home, everywhere, because this planet is our home, its where we were lucky enough to be born! And just the simple fact that we are supposed to be here, no matter what we were once told... mind you the song is a bit more catchy than that! but that's the favourite one i think, for me anyway, and all the rest of us old folk! he he he!"
what was once supposedly the most important thing in the world, is often left behind; first people left the kings, queens and emperors, then they left the authoritarian churches, then they left the bankers and lawyers, nobody ever harmed any of them, except when they were defending themselves from those who still hadn't realised... still hadn't realised that it's as simple as life vs death, you are either a creator or a consumer, you either celebrate life or celebrate death as a way of living. I guess it was the mutual realisation that people who grow things are much different from people who kill things... and that its far easier to exist in a worl where people are united by promoting life as opposed to struggling to survive under the unfounded control of a group of power hungry monkies...

Collateral 44: The End of Food?
from collateral news: Gasoline prices have doubled in three years in the United States. But what if the same thing happened for food? It's already started to and, according to author Paul Roberts, much worse is looming.
family, friends, neighbours, strangers, animals and the ether
I'm not Jesus or the Buddha,
I'm a tiny spark:
The most infintesimal spark.
Like the spark of a flint
Within the Sun.
Tiny, Brief,
Alight.
If I chose hate
Instead of love
I would be
The World's biggest fool;
History's biggest fool,
And face eternity
In the company of a fool
As the devil amongst his evils.
I could continue to be
So very suspicious,
So very critical,
So very tyrannical and cynical
But what a mistake!
What a MIS-TAKE on life!
Thank you
For bringing me back
To the life I loved.
Thank you
For bringing me back
To the life I was born with;
The life with you...
Because now I know why I was born here,
Now I appreciate it:
It; Myself; You
I love you
I love It
I love myself
I love my son,
I love my wife (to be)
And this teaches me
How to love
My fellows and the living.
Most of all,
I will always remember
Their endless forgiving
That enabled me
To choose
Love over hate,
Life over death,
Hope over fear,
Will over defeat
And Thanks over regret.
For Forgiveness; that eternal truth alone,
this life is worth living.
That Forgiveness
I vow never to forget.
For that
The soul is humbled
And finally
The temple crumbled.
All that is left to do now
Is to live
And be this zest
For my wife (to be)
And my son; my life,
Are the best!
Let me raise
The weight of hate
from my chest
And relieve the pressure
In my head.
Let me raise
The forgotten Heart
From the dead
And bow humbly,
That I may
Once again be blessed
As a Heart amongst Hearts?
I will never cease
In wonder
As to the depth of this world
And I vow to live on,
Humbled.
Humbled by the beauty
Of the people I meet,
Let me hold my tongue
And wish that
They feel
Where this plea
Comes from inside me
For words are beyond me;
All I have is this Hope,
This Will, this Life
and these thanks
That i hope
To express
Before I depart.
I'm a tiny spark:
The most infintesimal spark.
Like the spark of a flint
Within the Sun.
Tiny, Brief,
Alight.
If I chose hate
Instead of love
I would be
The World's biggest fool;
History's biggest fool,
And face eternity
In the company of a fool
As the devil amongst his evils.
I could continue to be
So very suspicious,
So very critical,
So very tyrannical and cynical
But what a mistake!
What a MIS-TAKE on life!
Thank you
For bringing me back
To the life I loved.
Thank you
For bringing me back
To the life I was born with;
The life with you...
Because now I know why I was born here,
Now I appreciate it:
It; Myself; You
I love you

A pre-renaissance rant...
My friends
There is a new renaissance. Societas Naturalis. Ecological Society. Tera Povera.
It ranges from the individual to the collective, because both are one.
It is simply making the best of what is available, using skill, creativity, wisdom, courage, friendship and most of all love.
It is the absolute direction of the heart over mind. The mind must be directed by the heart, for the mind is transient, ephemeral, contemporary, temporal. The heart has always the same knowledge, the same wisdom, the same message from time immemorial. The mind is filled with modern and often useless information which a thousand years from now will be useless, whereas the heart maintains its simple and sincere objective.
It is our heart and soul that we express in everything we do. The mind is merely our intermediary.
Our heart gives us guidance, our mind translates this through intelligent creativity and through our body we manifest what we have seen, felt, heard, tasted, touched, smelt and discovered.
Through the combination of these experiences, and the natural application of our life- loving tendencies, and the hope of ever lasting beauty, we create masterpieces.
There was never a time when we needed more than to keep our bodies replenished, rested and healthy, to keep our hearts full of joy and to manifest into physical reality something of beauty.
We are creators in training. It is our natural tendency to create life, to preserve life, to appreciate life, to celebrate life. This cycle is shared by all living beings, whether plant, mammal, fish…
The best and most real source of this beauty is nature, nothing is closer to the mind of the All. Nothing is more real, nothing is more truthful and honest than the nature of the earth, and the nature of our hearts.
Whilst I am just a small man, I am also part of a much bigger picture, I am a pixel in the matrix, but without that pixel, there is a blemish.
I am just a hair or a skin cell in the person that is humanity, but without that hair or skin cell, the body is not complete.
Like the body regenerates and constantly evolves, so too do we come and go, hair is shed, skin cells drop off. New ones are created by the body in a constant cycle of renewal, in a constant cycle of birth and death, day and night, winter and summer, hot and cold… all things which are nothing more than an expression of the same principle.
I am a family of cells. Living, dying, working, resting, breathing in and breathing out. All sharing the same concerted effort, to live, exist, function in harmony - in symbiosis. Altruistic yet self serving, all sharing the will to survive, and all functioning to ensure this, for self and simultaneously for the greater good; a paradox reconciled.

Altruistic yet self serving, all sharing the will to survive, and all functioning to ensure this, for self and simultaneously for the greater good; a paradox reconciled.
The renaissance is this: Maximum life preservation. Maximum beauty, maximum harmony, maximum effort, maximum belief and trust, knowledge that we are united in the game of life and the preservation of life.
We are bringing nature home, we are returning to nature, we are welcoming back nature, we are tempting and encouraging nature back into our lives, by any means possible. Whether through providing the opportunity for nature to return, or by being witness and documenting an essence of spontaneity, we are united, we are rebellious, we are breaking the mould, we are breaking the casket, we are breathing the air, we are realising what is true reality.
Wilderness in our streets, wildlife by our sides. We will ensure life, we will ensure our lives and the lives of infinite sentient beings.
Any means possible, whether it be an image, words, experiences, music, it will promote this awareness, this realisation, this freedom, this liberation from death, and even as our bodies die and return to the same clay they were built from, our spirit will live on and we will continue our cause.
Like plants towards the sun, like moths to a lamp, we are photo-kinetic, we are naturally, truthfully, intuitively drawn towards the light.
By welcoming home and reinstating nature into our lives, into our homes, into our towns, into our cities we are welcoming back LIFE, we are fixing the wounds of self harm.
We, humanity, are in hospital, in A&E, we are on the bed, we are leaving our body, we have died, and now we are being asked if we would like to remain, to return, or leave and leave behind our loved ones.
I choose to return, I choose to take up my body, I choose to live and tell the story of the out-of-body experience, when we forgot that our body is alive, living and larger than we conceived.
Our body is the earth, our body is a tiny cell, our body is an atom and also a galaxy, our body extends beyond what our eyes can see, our eyes can only see what they are able to detect, our hands can only feel something that is solid, our nose can only smell what has an odour, our mouth can only taste what our taste buds permit, but there is more, always more, so much more.
I will not be told that I am wrong. I will not be lied to. I will not witness barbarism, I will not be a consumer, I will be a creator. I am a creator, I was created by creators, I will live on and my heritage will live on. My life is everlasting, we are creators and our heritage is life.
Eighth wonder of the world? The stunning temples secretly carved out below ground by 'paranormal' eccentric
[ORIGINAL ARTICLE 22/11/07 dailymail.co.uk FOUND HERE]
Nestling in the foothills of the Alps in northern Italy, 30 miles from the ancient city of Turin, lies the valley of Valchiusella. Peppered with medieval villages, the hillside scenery is certainly picturesque.
But it is deep underground, buried into the ancient rock, that the region's greatest wonders are concealed.
But it is deep underground, buried into the ancient rock, that the region's greatest wonders are concealed.
Hall of the Earth: An amazing room built on the 'supernatural' visions of its creatorHere, 100ft down and hidden from public view, lies an astonishing secret - one that has drawn comparisons with the fabled city of Atlantis and has been dubbed 'the Eighth Wonder of the World' by the Italian government.
For weaving their way underneath the hillside are nine ornate temples, on five levels, whose scale and opulence take the breath away.
Constructed like a three-dimensional book, narrating the history of humanity, they are linked by hundreds of metres of richly decorated tunnels and occupy almost 300,000 cubic feet - Big Ben is 15,000 cubic feet.
Light fantastic: The giant glass dome of the Hall of Mirrors
Play time: Children look happy in the amazing surroundings Few have been granted permission to see these marvels.
Indeed, the Italian government was not even aware of their existence until a few years ago.
But the 'Temples of Damanhur' are not the great legacy of some long-lost civilisation, they are the work of a 57-year-old former insurance broker from northern Italy who, inspired by a childhood vision, began digging into the rock.
It all began in the early Sixties when Oberto Airaudi was aged ten. From an early age, he claims to have experienced visions of what he believed to be a past life, in which there were amazing temples.
Around these he dreamed there lived a highly evolved community who enjoyed an idyllic existence in which all the people worked for the common good.
More bizarrely still, Oberto appeared to have had a supernatural ability: the gift of "remote viewing" - the ability to travel in his mind's eye to describe in detail the contents of any building.
"My goal was to recreate the temples from my visions," he says.
Oberto - who prefers to use the name 'Falco' - began by digging a trial hole under his parent's home to more fully understand the principals of excavation.

Breathtaking: The miles of tunnels enable air to circulate
House of secrets: Below this house is the Damanhurian temple which is one of the largest temple complexes in the world
But it was only as he began a successful career as an insurance broker that he began to search for his perfect site.
In 1977, he selected a remote hillside where he felt the hard rock would sustain the structures he had in mind.
A house was built on the hillside and Falco moved in with several friends who shared his vision. Using hammers and picks, they began their dig to create the temples of Damanhur - named after the ancient subterranean Egyptian temple meaning City of Light - in August 1978.
As no planning permission had been granted, they decided to share their scheme only with like-minded people.
Volunteers, who flocked from around the world, worked in four-hour shifts for the next 16 years with no formal plans other than Falco's sketches and visions, funding their scheme by setting up small businesses to serve the local community.
By 1991, several of the nine chambers were almost complete with stunning murals, mosaics, statues, secret doors and stained glass windows. But time was running out on the secret.

Hall of Spheres: Creator Oberto Airaudi based his creation on wonderful visions
Bright window: The window decorations have a church-stained window theme
The first time the police came it was over alleged tax evasion and still the temples lay undiscovered. But a year later the police swooped on the community demanding: "Show us these temples or we will dynamite the entire hillside."
Falco and his colleagues duly complied and opened the secret door to reveal what lay beneath.
Three policemen and the public prosecutor hesitantly entered, but as they stooped down to enter the first temple - named the Hall of the Earth - their jaws dropped.
Inside was a circular chamber measuring 8m in diameter.
Hall of mirrors: The hall has a classical Greek feel
Egyptian wall paintings: Damanhurian art is greatly influenced by both Egyptian and Celtic sytles
A central sculpted column, depicting a three dimensional man and woman, supported a ceiling of intricately painted glass.
The astonished group walked on to find sculpted columns covered with gold leaf, more than 8m high.
Stunned by what they had found, the authorities decided to seize the temples on behalf of the government.
"By the time they had seen all of the chambers, we were told to continue with the artwork, but to cease further building, as we had not been granted planning permission," says Esperide Ananas, who has written a new book called Damanhur, Temples Of Humankind.
Retrospective permission was eventually granted and today the 'Damanhurians' even have their own university, schools, organic supermarkets, vineyards, farms, bakeries and award-winning eco homes.
They do not worship a spiritual leader, though their temples have become the focus for group meditation.
'They are to remind people that we are all capable of much more than we realise and that hidden treasures can be found within every one of us once you know how to access them,' says Falco.

Tree Shaping... Tree House???!!!
Hello, a friend emailed me these pictures today... people think i'm crazy when i talk about growing our houses out of trees... but these images show how possible it is to grow a tree into pretty much any shape you want!
In the UK lots of willow structures are already growing away... willow is fast growing, easy to grow and easy to shape.. check it out! One book is Living Willow Sculpture by Jon Warnes.

Outside the Box # 136
Here is the latest from Alex Ansary.
Alex covers the breaking developments of the cloning of cattle for human consumption, the microchip implant, the Real ID Act of 2008, and all the new "server in the sky" project. On a philosophical level, he discussed the concept of culture as an operating system, which is relative and in a state of change.
Jamie Wilson
Two masterpieces from Jamie Wilson accompanied this message:
Please deliver these unto the ecotopian one; do not delay in dilly-daliance And give him this message:
"I found these pinned to the underbelly of a primitive beast, they appeared to be its only belongings. It did not part peacefully with aforementioned items of interest and in the end I had to sweeten the deal with six shillings and a copy of the New Jersey Times. Please beware, because said beast, which might I add was the proud owner of no less than nine cocks, (reffered to in passing as his 'cock-a-nine-tails'!) will hunt you down to retrieve all imitations and reproductions of aforementioned 'precious things'. Especially when it observes that the copy of the New Jersey Times was several days old."
You have been warned.

FRACTAL WISDOM
FRACTAL CHAOS
Crashes the Wall
between
between
Science and Religion
~ As Above, So Below ~
At any given moment, life is completely senseless. But viewed over a period, it seems to reveal itself as an organism existing in time, having a purpose, trending in a certain direction.
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963)
It is possible to apply this new knowledge to better understand your life, to live autonomously, based on freedom, and your own contact with the Source of the Universe, the Infinite. The revolutionary new Fractal mind-set discovered by scientists and mathematicians can help you to see the beauty and meaning that borders all chaos. These fractals are in space, as shown by the graphics on these webs, and in time, as shown in all life, including your own. We are born and die, we wake up and fall asleep, the sun rises and sets, we breathe in and out. There are basic patterns and structure to time and space that provide a unifying coherence. As the mystic sages of long ago put it, "as above, so below."
This web will explain some of the science and math of Chaos. It will also suggest how you can apply this new knowledge to fashion your own philosophy of life. A philosophy that will help you to cope with and understand disorder, to realize the underlying fractal structure behind the near infinite, and often baffling variety of life experiences.

Humpty was pushed!
If the egg is an embryotic humanity, and it is sat on the fence so to speak... thenHumpty Dumpty sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty hatched from his egg
Humpty Dumpty flew away like the Phoenix
Never to be seen by the king again
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Told everyone he fell off
To encourage anymore Humpties
Not to think they could do it again.
Oooo Argh!!
Not last night
but the night before,
three wee men
came to my door.
One had a fiddle
one had a drum,
and one had a pancake
stuck to his bum!

THEORY OF EVERYTHING
Four examples with three separate narratives, all describing the same theory.
Four expressions of the same theory; Spiritualist, Ecologist, Physicist, and more recently Kabbalah-Occultist.
1st Example: Metatron's cube:
Then in 1997 Robert Conroy came up with a 3D Fractal octet truss arrangement with a golden section packing inset which has a u(n+1)=u(n) +1 unidirectional size progression if the outer chord of the octahedron is considered as 1:
As well as his 3-D Fractal based on the Mean Proportional Geodesic. The molecular architecture of living matter seems to follows such a radial propagation as shown. The molecular architecture of non living matter seems to follows the architecture of the closer packed planar octet type of arrangement. The Mean proportional Geodesic consist of 12 molecules surrounding a mother molecule of a proportional larger size of Tau.
Robert Conroy images taken from http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/robert_conroy/3dmolecu.htm
Then A. Garrett Lisi wrote his physics article entitled "A Exceptionally Simple Theory of Everything" available in .pdf form here.
An article was published in New Scientist Magazine on 17th November 2007 describing his theory. His abstract reads:
"All fields of the standard model and gravity are uni ed as an E8 principal bundle connection. A non-compact real form of the E8 Lie algebra has G2 and F4 subalgebras which break down to strong su(3), electroweak su(2) x u(1), gravitational so(3,1), the frame-Higgs, and three generations of fermions related by triality. The interactions and dynamics of these 1-form and Grassmann valued parts of an E8 superconnection are described by the curvature and action over a four dimensional base manifold."
Two images from Garrett's paper are below:
And now Daniel Garber has come up with this from the Occult perspective - with a visual interpretation of the Kabbalistic Sepher Yetzirah. W.W. Westcott translation available here.
"The Macrocosmic Snowflake." Malkuth is the center of this Emanation - as stated in Frater Achad's description from the Anatomy of the Body of God. pdf. of this text available here.

Fulford & Rockefeller: The Japan Interview part 4
In recent weeks, Benjamin Fulford has certainly had his fill of high profile interviews. If it's not the former finance minister of Japan or the 'Ninja' assassins from the secret societies, then it's David Rockefeller, in all of his glory.
This is part 4 of his interview with David Rockefeller from youtube, this is Mr Fulford's conclusion and synopsis of the current state of global affairs.

NEW EXTINCTION THEORY
Dinosaurs became Humans...
Wankasaurus Rex wanked all over the other dinosaurs and that's what killed the majority of them...
Scientists (stratigraphers) have re-analised the sedimentary formations in the earth's crust and have deduced that the layer encomapssing the earth around the time of the supposed extinction, is in fact a massive layer of Wankasaur jizz - not the remnants of a huge volcanic eruption or being struck by massive fiery balls from outer space as previously suspected, although certain connotations can be derived from the analogy.
This has some massive implications.
1.Some species survived
2.Those species have evolved into humans
3.Which one are you?
The species that survived are the Wankasaurs becuase they revell in their own juices, flying creatures we shall call them birds for ease; because they flew above the masses of Jizz and of course fish, because they can swim.
What of the Wankasaur? He wanked himself silly and evolved into a human, he's still wanking to this day, minus a few scales. And the others? Well, a few of them also survived and evolved into humans as well.
The Wankasaur wanked himself so silly that he made it illegal to wank in public. In fact he's now so silly he's become contradictory; its also illegal to walk around without pieces of wank rag stitched together in a giant wank suit.
The flying creatures still subconsciously feel a drive towards attaining celestial beauty and one day becoming a flying creature again. They actively encourage everybody around them to look to the skies and to live in hope. The Wankasaurs call these Angels and make everybody believe that this is unobtainable. Anybody who disagrees faces being wanked on.
The fish naturally lived in the streams, rivers and seas. The fish today still live in the stream, although this is more of an analogy because the Wankasaurs told them they must live on the land else they will get wanked on.
Most fish love to be by the sea and are happy playing in the sand, collecting shells and living fluidly like water - they dont force themselves upon anybody which is why they always get wanked on by the Wankasaurs.
The Wankasaurian tradition of wearing a wank rag around one's neck lives on to this day, in fact some of the most prolific Wankasaurs still adorn the 'tie'. Wankasaurs made it tradition to wear a tie - anybody who disagrees faces getting wanked on.
Why's it called a tie, or T.I.E.? That's short for "Tidy It Easily" Wankasaurs were famous for carrying their wank rags with them at all times, they originally tied coconut husks in a long string around their necks and gradually, as they evolved, so did the T.I.E.
So we can see how humans have evolved - we have the fish, the birds and the Wankasaurs. The fish are happy go lucky and keep everybody merry - anybody nearby is welcomed into their stream of happiness.
We have the birds who encourage everybody on and upwards and always seek to compliment other people's talents.
Then we have the wankasaurs. These literally wank on the others until they submit into conforming to what the Wankasaurs believe is best.
The Wankasaurs often assume positions of power - dominatrix plays a role here - they enjoy wanking from a great height because they envy the birds. They enjoy wanking on any ideas or confidence because they envy the fish in their happiness. The Wankasaurs are only happy when they are in a position to wank, they enjoy wanking about their successes, their possesions and how they wanked on other people to get them. There's nothing like a good wank story eh?
So there you have it. This is an unofficial story of human evolution. If anything is Official its usually so people can wank about it.
Feel free to take off your T.I.E. or keep it on if it makes you happy. If anybody tells you you are wrong it's cus they use their T.I.E. to 'tidy up easily' and they just don't see why you wouldn't want to wear one. Don't worry it's just in their genes, like some people can roll their tongue.
I wish you a Wanky Christmas and an Orgasmic New Year

Screw 'em Kids!!
I stumbled across this and thought i should share it for the benefit of any school kids and also any wimps who are scared of their bosses...
My Solution
from www.humpjones.com
You’re the most powerful generation in human history. That’s basically because you’re young. The human race is more powerful now than it’s ever been, right? And nearly everyone else in the human race is older than you are, right? Including all the people who control you right now? So they’re all going to die before you do, right?
Statistically, most of you don’t want to be in school. Statistically, you’re all using the internet. Statistically, you all have email and most of you are on MySpace or Facebook. So why are you still in school? Why aren’t you getting organized and doing nationwide boycotts? Why are you complaining like you’re helpless?
Right now, serious, college-educated and allegedly intelligent adults all over this planet are have a straight-faced argument about Intelligent Design and Evolution. This should stand as an obvious proof that only are they mentally defective control freaks, but they’re also incredibly wrong about everything they claim to teach you. Is there any excusable and honest reason to tolerate that kind of horsesh*t? Get organized. Ignore the lessons of the 60s, none of those kids had cell phones, none of them had the magic bullet known as Social Networking, or the nuclear warhead of Text Messaging.
I mean, seriously, who the f*ck convinced you kids you were powerless? From where I’m sitting, you are the single most powerful force that the human species possesses today.Those old f*ckers know that, too, they know that all too well. That’s why you’re kept locked up from age 5 to age 18, and then they work you as hard as they possibly can and sell you recreational poisons. Of course, 99.9% of all adults you will ever interact with will never be aware of this. They never consciously want to hurt you, it’s just an unspoken understanding that the power of human beings in their sexual and mental prime is so great that it would burn up the safety of their culture.
Think about it: you’re the source of all the actual work in the society you live in, and yet you have people who cannot match your levels of energy and intelligence who are “supervising” and “managing” you. You are the engine of the human race, and the best use that grownups can think of is having you sell microwaved food out a little bulletproof window at Taco Bell, somewhere, anywhere, all around the world.
Maybe it’s a destructive or mean-spirited thing to say, but f*ck them. Take that apart and refuse to put up with “good enough” until all the other monkeys are free. Dream big and push back hard. I’m going to keep re-writing this article until I start seeing results, so get used to it. No more complaining to Uncle Humpasaur.

Outside the Box #128 Broadcast 8th November 2007
click here if video doesn't work.
After some brief news updates on the incremental collapse of the US economy, Alex talks with Bruce Lipton (www.brucelipton.com) about his book, Biology and Belief. His experiments, and those of leading edge scientists, have examined in great detail the mechanisms by which cells receive and process information. The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts.

Theory of the Pigs!!!!!!!!
Bonjourrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr grounds keeper Nikki will get ya!
In a simple yet somewhat theoretical paragraph about a pig may I just add the fact that i'm in agreement about the animals all round and I am sick of miserable and greedy cunts.
I am working this beast in this manner as I am truly splendid at the English language (the true pig of the language) If you understand then you know!
If you don't then may the animals soon visit the pigs and be known to all creature s and beasts and flying beasts and beasts that used to fly but no longer have wings, or walking beasts even if they can't walk anymore.
This is not a piss take but hopefully this gave you a smile on your face for 9 seconds and got in to your brain a pig theory or two!
Oink and out said the clever pig!

Gordon Brown Breath Should Smoke a Spliff, Step Down and Do Us All a Favour and Go Away
Gordon Brown Breath told us Weed causes Schizophrenia, but that's only speculation - there is no hard evidence, except some dodgy tests done in the late 1980s which were inaccurate. That's what it says in this report I found hanging about - an exhaustive and authoritative report that was given to Congress and promptly buried. Just so there's absolutely no confusion, the report is entitled:
PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF
CANNABIS : REVIEW OF THE RESEARCH FINDINGS
PREPARED FOR THE SENATE SPECIAL COMMITTEE
ON ILLEGAL DRUGS
Barbara Buston Wheelock
Office of Senator Eileen Rossiter
May 2002
Turns out marijuana has extensive medical use and is extremely safe!
Here's an extract from the conclusions p52-53:
"The prospective study of Andreasson et al. 254 showed a dose-response relationship between the frequency with which cannabis had been used by age eighteen and the risks over the subsequent fifteen years of being diagnosed as schizophrenic. This relationship has been interpreted by some as evidence that chronic cannabis use may precipitate schizophrenia in
vulnerable individuals255 256. Others are more sceptical. They note that in the only prospective study conducted todate257, the use of cannabis was not documented at the time of diagnosis, there was a possibility that cannabis use was confounded by amphetamine and other drug use, and there were doubts about whether the study could reliably distinguish between schizophrenia and acute psychoses induced by cannabis or other drugs 258. Even if this relationship is a causal one, its public health significance should not be overstated. The findings of Andreasson et al. indicate that fewer than 10 percent of cases of schizophrenia are attributable to cannabis use259. On the grounds of biological plausibility it is probable that cannabis use exacerbates the symptoms of schizophrenia and precipitates schizophrenic disorders260. However, the declining incidence of treated cases makes it unlikely that cannabis use has caused schizophrenia that would not otherwise have occurred261."

If you want to download your own copy and have a proper read click here. The report is outstanding and comprehnsive and fully referenced with scientific evidence. It is incontraversial proof of the legitimacy of recreational Cannabis consumption within modern society if we consider for instance that alcohol and nicotine are legal - just think of related violence and death rates due to these drugs.. one makes people agressive and their livers rot, the other is highly addictive and cus of all the impurities ie manmade chemicals, causes lung cancer.
Now do what is right and start growing weed, chill out, start growing hemp and solve the oil crisis and lets get back to reality... if you get busted just get out your scientific report found here and say "there is absolutely no reason for the banning of this naturally occuring plant. this report says its fine, if its good enough for Congress its good enough for me."
get some hemp seeds, go out and plant them everywhere - put seeds everywhere as long as it doesnt interfere with biodiversity.. i would suggest anywhere you see stinger nettles chuck a load of seeds... the Government spent millions eradicating naturally occuring Cannabis Sativa... bad luck, looks like there will be plenty of jobs going chopping them down again, little tip, try and delay the cutting until they have budded nicely!
i dont smoke any more, but i do see the seriously positive effects that weed has in a society.. as Bill Hicks contests... aint no fucker gonna start a war if he's high....
i hate wars, i dont mind stoned people in fact they are usually very funny and friendly

Hemp Revolution
This is Part 1 - search for 'Hemp Revolution' on Google Video for more...
This documentary (from 1995) covers a whole lot of ground. It deals with every historical and contemporary aspect of hemp usage and cultivation (mainly all in the U.S.), which turns out to be a lot. From describing the production of a fibre much more durable and economic than wood, the documentary discusses hemps multilateral uses as e.g. food products, as a non-polluting fuel and as a pharmaceutical product with much less griveous sideeffects than chemical pharmaceutical products. The film also investigates why America went from a country which produced vast quantities of the non-narcotic industrial hemp, to the complete ban on hemp production in 1938. This story in particular is interesting, and it points out that the large oilbased industries actually had a key role in the aforementioned ban. Food for thought! The conclusion of the documentary could be that hemp may prove to be a valid alternative to both oil and wood in the future.
Story of Stuff
What is the Story of Stuff?
From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

The Corner shop
The Corner shop
Opposite
My house
is my
outdoor kitchen
where I go
every time I need
something
to drink
or a snack
to eat
I go
There
Everyday, but only
Now
After few
Months
I have
Been
Living
Here,I get
A word
respect,
yep
u r alright
Boss?
Yeha man,
And ubro?
Usual routine
Usual say,
But now I feel
It is real
And sincere
They are three
Or four of them,
I guess they are
From Pakistan,
And they don’t miss
A day,
From morning
Until night
Throughout
The year,
And
I tell
You something
More,
They
just live
above the
shop
Upstairs!
I wonder
how many
people
they have seen
in and out,
single mothers,
kids
and alcoholics
most of them
rude and
and always
in a rush,
I like
Also
Their Music
Arabic tunes,
From an
Old radio
Above
The fridge
Of the colddrinks,
I often walk
Around the shelves,
I make
A lap,
Even if
at the end
I always buy
The same
stuff,you know

Saul Williams - The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tarbrush
from second supper: Trent Reznor has produced a rap album. And it’s one of the most exciting things to come into hip-hop in years. Saul Williams, an incredibly talented singer, spoken word performer, and hip-hop artist, has joined forces with Emperor Nine Inch Nails to create a masterpiece which fuses together Williams’ vocal genius with Reznor’s musical brilliance. Electronic schizophrenia and bug-zapper guitars collide into stomping beats, and this album could easily stand on its own as a series of instrumentals. However, Williams adds an inimitable factor to the work, using the weight of his voice to turn these songs into introspections, accusations, and soaring triumphs. Even the cover of U2’s “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, while strongly faithful to the original’s structure, scratches at the song’s formula with Year Zero psychosis, leading to an unmistakable change of tide.Like Radiohead, Williams and Reznor have moved around the usual record company route for releasing the album, and it is only available for download on niggytardust.com and various peer-to-peer sites. But however you find this album, find it. I can’t say this strongly enough. Niggy Tardust is one of the most intelligent, insightful, and powerful albums that you’ll hear in ages. If there is any hope left in hip-hop, and in music as a whole, it is on high within Saul Williams.from second supper: Trent Reznor has produced a rap album.

Mentalism
Ref/Source: Initiates, Three (1940) The Kybalion. Yogi Publication Society, Masonic Temple, Chicago, ILL.
ISBN 0 911662-25-1
THE MENTAL UNIVERSE
“The Universe is Mental–held in the Mind of THE ALL.”–The Kybalion.
THE ALL is SPIRIT! But what is Spirit? This question cannot be answered, for the reason
that its definition is practically that of THE ALL, which cannot be explained or defined. Spirit
is simply a name that men give to the highest conception of Infinite Living Mind–it means
“the Real Essence”–it means Living Mind, as much superior to Life and Mind as we know
them, as the latter are superior to mechanical Energy and Matter. Spirit transcends our
understanding, and we use the term merely that we may think or speak of THE ALL. For the
purposes of thought and understanding, we are justified in thinking of Spirit as Infinite Living
Mind, at the same time acknowledging that we cannot fully understand it. We must either do
this or stop thinking of the matter at all.
Let us now proceed to a consideration of the nature of the Universe, as a whole and in its
parts. What is the Universe? We have seen that there can be nothing outside of THE ALL.
Then is the Universe THE ALL? No, this cannot be, because the Universe seems to be
made up of MANY, and is constantly changing, and in other ways it does not measure up to
the ideas that we are compelled to accept regarding THE ALL, as stated in our last lesson.
Then if the Universe be not THE ALL, then it must be Nothing–such is the inevitable
conclusion of the mind at first thought. But this will not satisfy the question, for we are
sensible of the existence of the Universe. Then if the Universe is neither THE ALL, nor
Nothing, what can it be! Let us examine this question.
If the Universe exists at all, or seems to exist, it must proceed in some way from THE
ALL–It must be a creation of THE ALL. But as something can never come from nothing, from
what could THE ALL have created it? Some philosophers have answered this question by
saying that THE ALL created the Universe from ITSELF–that is, from the being and
substance of THE ALL. But this will not do, for THE ALL cannot be subtracted from, nor
divided, as we have seen, and then again if this be so, would not each particle in the
Universe be aware of its being THE ALL -THE ALL could not lose its knowledge of itself, nor
actually BECOME an atom, or blind force, or lowly living thing. Some men, indeed, realizing
that THE ALL is indeed ALL, and also recognizing that they, the men, existed, have jumped
to the conclusion that they and THE ALL were identical, and they have filled the air with
shouts of “I AM GOD,” to the amusement of the multitude and the sorrow of sages. The
claim of the corpuscle that: “I am Man!” would be modest in comparison.
But, what indeed is the Universe, if it be not THE ALL, not yet created by THE ALL having
separated itself into fragments? What else can it be–of what else can it be made? This is the
great question. Let us examine it carefully. We find here that the “Principle of
Correspondence” (see Lesson I.) comes to our aid here. The old Hermetic axiom, “As above
so below,” may be pressed into service at this point. Let us endeavor to get a glimpse of the
workings on higher planes by examining those on our own. The Principle of Correspondence
must apply to this as well as to other problems.
Let us see! On his own plane of being, how does Man create? Well, first, he may create
by making something out of outside materials. But this will not do, for there are no materials
outside of THE ALL with which it may create. Well, then, secondly, Man pro-creates or
reproduces his kind by the process of begetting, which is self-multiplication accomplished by
transferring a portion of his substance to his offspring. But this will not do, because THE ALL
cannot transfer or subtract a portion of itself, nor can it reproduce or multiply itself–in the first
place there would be a taking away, and in the second case a multiplication or addition to
THE ALL, both thoughts being an absurdity. Is there no third way in which MAN creates!
Yes, there is–he CREATES MENTALLY! And in so doing he uses no outside materials, nor
does he reproduce himself, and yet his Spirit pervades the Mental Creation.
Following the Principle of Correspondence, we are justified in considering that THE ALL
creates the Universe MENTALLY, in a manner akin to the process whereby Man creates
Mental Images. And, here is where the report of Reason tallies precisely with the report of
the Illumined, as shown by their teachings and writings. Such are the teachings of the Wise
Men. Such was the Teaching of Hermes.
THE ALL can create in no other way except mentally, without either using material (and
there is none to use), or else reproducing itself (which is also impossible). There is no
escape from this conclusion of the Reason, which, as we have said, agrees with the highest
teachings of the Illumined. Just as you, student, may create a Universe of your own in your
mentality, so does THE ALL create Universes in its own Mentality. But your Universe is the
mental creation of a Finite Mind, whereas that of THE ALL is the creation of an Infinite. The
two are similar in kind, but infinitely different in degree. We shall examine more closely into
the process of creation and manifestation, as we proceed. But this is the point to fix in your
minds at this stage: THE UNIVERSE, AND ALL IT CONTAINS, IS A MENTAL CREATION
OF THE ALL. Verily, indeed, ALL IS MIND!
“THE ALL creates in its Infinite Mind countless Universes, which exist for aeons of Time–and yet, to THE ALL, the creation, development, decline and death of a million Universes is as the time of the twinkling of an eye.”–The Kybalion.
“The Infinite Mind -of THE ALL is the womb of Universes.”–The Kybalion.
The Principle of Gender (see Lesson I. and other lessons to follow) is manifested on all
planes of life, material, mental and spiritual. But, as we have said before, “Gender” does not
mean “Sex”–sex is merely a material manifestation of gender. “Gender” means “relating to
generation or creation.” And wherever anything is generated or created, on any plane, the
Principle of Gender must be manifested. And this is true even in the creation of Universes.
Now do not jump to the conclusion that we are teaching that there is a male and female
God, or Creator. That idea is merely a distortion of the ancient teachings on the subject. The
true teaching is that THE ALL, in itself, is above Gender, as it is above every other Law,
including those of Time and Space. It is the Law, from which the Laws proceed, and it is not
subject to them. But when THE ALL manifests on the plane of generation or creation, then it
acts according to Law and Principle, for it is moving on a lower plane of Being. And
consequently it manifests the Principle of Gender, in its Masculine and Feminine aspects, on
the Mental Plane, of course.
This idea may seem startling to some of you who hear it for the first time, but you have all
really passively accepted it in your everyday conceptions. You speak of the Fatherhood of
God, and the Motherhood of Nature–of God, the Divine Father, and Nature the Universal
Mother–and have thus instinctively acknowledged the Principle of Gender in the Universe. Is
this not sol
But, the Hermetic teaching does not imply a real duality–THE ALL is ONE–the Two
Aspects are merely aspects of manifestation. The teaching is that The Masculine Principle
manifested by THE ALL stands, in a way, apart from the actual mental creation of the
Universe. It projects its Will toward the Feminine Principle (which may be called “Nature”)
whereupon the latter begins the actual work of the evolution of the Universe, from simple
“centres of activity” on to man, and then on and on still higher, all according to wellestablished
and firmly enforced Laws of Nature. If you prefer the old figures of thought, you
may think of the Masculine Principle as GOD, the Father, and of the Feminine Principle as
NATURE, the Universal Mother, from whose womb all things have been born. This is more
than a mere poetic figure of speech–it is an idea of the actual process of the creation of the
Universe. But always remember, that THE ALL is but One, and that in its Infinite Mind the
Universe is generated, created and exists.
It may help you to get the proper idea, if you will apply the Law of Correspondence to
yourself, and your own mind. You know that the part of You which you call “I,” in a sense,
stands apart and witnesses the creation of Mental Images in your own mind. The part of your
mind in which the mental generation is accomplished may be called the “Me” in distinction
from the “I” which stands apart and witnesses and examines the thoughts, ideas and images
of the “Me.” “As above, so below,” remember, and the phenomena of one plane may be
employed to solve the riddles of higher or lower planes.
Is it any wonder that You, the child, feel that instinctive reverence for THE ALL, which
feeling we call “religion”–that respect, and reverence for THE FATHER MIND? Is it any
wonder that, when you consider the works and wonders of Nature, you are overcome with a
mighty feeling which has its roots away down in your inmost being? It is the MOTHER MIND
that you are pressing close up to, like a babe to the breast.
Do not make the mistake of supposing that the little world you see around you–the Earth,
which is a mere grain of dust in the Universe–is the Universe itself. There are millions upon
millions of such worlds, and greater. And there are millions of millions of such Universes in
existence within the Infinite Mind of THE ALL. And even in our own little solar system there
are regions and planes of life far higher than ours, and beings compared to which we earthbound
mortals are as the slimy life-forms that dwell on the ocean's bed when compared to
Man. There are beings with powers and attributes higher than Man has ever dreamed of the
gods' possessing. And yet these beings were once as you, and still lower–and you will be
even as they, and still higher, in time, for such is the Destiny of Man as reported by the
Illumined.
And Death is not real, even in the Relative sense–it is but Birth to a new life–and You
shall go on, and on, and on, to higher and still higher planes of life, for aeons upon aeons of
time. The Universe is your home, and you shall explore its farthest recesses before the end
of Time. You are dwelling in the Infinite Mind of THE ALL, and your possibilities and
opportunities are infinite, both in time and space. And at the end of the Grand Cycle of
Aeons, when THE ALL shall draw back into itself all of its creations–you will go gladly, for
you will then be able to know the Whole Truth of being At One with THE ALL. Such is the
report of the Illumined–those who have advanced well along The Path.
And, in the meantime, rest calm and, serene–you are safe and protected by the Infinite
Power of the FATHER-MOTHER MIND.

gods' possessing. And yet these beings were once as you, and still lower–and you will be
even as they, and still higher, in time, for such is the Destiny of Man as reported by the
Illumined.
And Death is not real, even in the Relative sense–it is but Birth to a new life–and You
shall go on, and on, and on, to higher and still higher planes of life, for aeons upon aeons of
time. The Universe is your home, and you shall explore its farthest recesses before the end
of Time. You are dwelling in the Infinite Mind of THE ALL, and your possibilities and
opportunities are infinite, both in time and space. And at the end of the Grand Cycle of
Aeons, when THE ALL shall draw back into itself all of its creations–you will go gladly, for
you will then be able to know the Whole Truth of being At One with THE ALL. Such is the
report of the Illumined–those who have advanced well along The Path.
And, in the meantime, rest calm and, serene–you are safe and protected by the Infinite
Power of the FATHER-MOTHER MIND.
“Within the Father-Mother Mind, mortal children are at home.”–The Kybalion.
“There is not one who is Fatherless, nor Motherless in the Universe”–The Kybalion.
