***If you want to go straight to the start of the Solution, scroll down to #2 Otherwise, enjoy the preamble :)****
God in a cow suit & a man suitPraying in a cave inside Enchanted Rock, I recieved 3 powerful messages. The one message I received related to Occupy is so powerfully true, and repeated so often, that it is now a cliche and almost meaningless. It conveys a scarily huge life changing message:
BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD
For the first 3 weeks of the Occupation, I was living at City Hall, mediating conflicts between protesters, policeman, city officials, enraged alcoholics, mentally ill people, longtime homeless vets, anarchist tech-geeks, Alex Jones loving Illuminati paranoists, infiltrating agent-provacateurs, and all other sorts of amazing and "normal" family & business people that showed up at the Occupation.
Becoming a mediator and spiritual psychologist was very nice & interesting, and seemed very important. Daily I was peering deeply into this huge array of humanity that I had never dealt with before, trying to bring them some peace and self-love, while regularly meeting with some very "important" governmental folks in City Hall to mediate conflicts on the bigger Occupation level, and befriending police officers I had previously distrusted (for good reason, I later found out). But being constantly immersed in solving the problems of the Occupation took its toll, and became a total drag after dealing with it non-stop week after week, 24/7.
Enchanted Rock/God set me up to be kidnapped from the Occupation by my magical best friend Juniper & some grey-haired Earth Shamans, in order to re-focalize and inspire my path. In the womb of this crystalline earth pyramid (at 30 degrees latitude, on the same line as the great pyramid of Giza) I realized that I had to start living, exemplifying, and demonstrating the solution to this whole mess that the collective human mind has chosen to get our bodies into.
I have always been inspired by the Truth in this Buckminster Fuller quote: "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete" Occupy is definitely fighting the system, as it should, but we need to have a complementary movement that demonstrates the new model. Heres why:
There are two styles of activism: Reactive, and Creative. Both are completely vital to evolution, and people can choose one or participate in both. Reactive activism is chaining yourself to a tree to keep it from being cut down, occupying a city square to highlight the injustices of economics, even storming the streets and overthrowing a dictator. All of these are ways of Life's defense systems waking up and saying, " STOP!! THIS BULLSHIT CANNOT GO ON ANY LONGER!!" It is a reactive action to something we dont want to happen, or dont like.
Being a reactive activist is a necessary defense mechanism that Life has developed in order to put an end to abusive and destructive viruses that plague its health. Expansive plagues whose only command is to GROW AND CONSUME: cancer, greedy unchecked capitalism, and American economic imperialism are some forms of Life Cancer.
Realize this fact, WE AMERICANS FEED THE CANCER OF GREED simply by participating in an culture whose #1 goal IS TO GROW & GROW & NEVER STOP GROWING OUR ECONOMY. We depend upon the oil economy, we depend upon the corporate economy, and we depend upon the global economy, EVEN THOUGH IT KILLS AND OPPRESSES LIFE. The #1 goal of the mega-corporate government that we monetarily participate in is TO CONSUME EVERY DOLLAR THAT THE "LESSAR MORTALS" HAVE. Then, when they run out of money, THEY TELL OUR GOVERNMENT TO JUST PRINT MORE FOR THEM!!
In the "reality" that 1% of the greediest mo-fos on Earth designed and want you to believe in (and most people do), every FedNote you have in your account is DEBT, since supposedly all of us owe $48,000 as our share of the current American debt ($15,000,000,000,000). My 11 day year old son is already $48,000 in debt, allegedly, to help keep this system of ridiculous greed intact.
All of this is to say that we live on an illusory cloud of Fednotes(debt) that makes us believe if we keep working our jobs and consuming goods in this oil-dependant economy that the government has so wisely crafted (for the top 1%), we'll be fine! Well duh, we all know this is bogus, and to me, Occupations all over America only exist to highlight the bogusness of the system we live in. Occupy is Life's defense system waking up anti-bodies (protesters) and vigilantly alerting everyone to the fact that THIS SYSTEM IS FUCKING UP LIFE WAY TOO MUCH AND WEVE GOTTA HEAL IT ASAP!!!!!
So, finally, how do we heal it? How do we educate, awaken, and change the actions of the people (including ourselves) who are participating in the destruction of people & planet for profit? What system can we create that will make oil-dependant corporate controlled governance obsolete? And what can we do about it RIGHT NOW!!!?
From where you sit at your computer this moment, breathe deeply in Love, and thank GOD for everything you have. On the exhale (heres the hard part) LOVE HUMANS for the current drama we have created, especially the humans you blame the most for "fucking this place up". The positive and negative are necessary poles in the dense reality we live in, and the Koch brothers, Rockefellers, Illuminati, Bush's, Obamas, and anyone else you despise, is as much a projection of God as you are.
Now, just because these God-projections are acting like total assholes, life-haters, and evil geniuses doesn't mean that we can't love them, they are simply the heads of a virus that is compelling us to tap in WAY DEEPER THAN EVER BEFORE TO GOD, and access the TRUE SOURCE OF POWER that is INFINITELY MORE VALUABLE THAN MONEY. To create a world in the next year more sustainable and awesome than what "they" created in the last 200 years, weve gotta know that only God can make it happen. And then we work our asses off as Gods hands, legs, and brains as we enter 2012 & get supercharged by the cosmic love-photons beaming from the center of the Milky Way in greater portions than ever before.
#1 (on the what to do now list) - LOVE!!! Love your thoughts, your body, and your life! And then stop blaming anyone else for the "problems in the world", and realize that this reality is the co-creation of the human mind. We helped bring this reality into existence, and we still aid its existence. It is beautiful & awful & glorious & wretched & blissfull & despicable. Thats what we chose to experience, and some "evil" actors have carried out their roles perfectly to give us the experience of anger, hate, and heartbreak. Laying the context for what is about to happen, the most unbelievable evolutionary swing from death to life in the history of humanity!
Why did we choose to co-create this insanity and suffering? I assume at some point in the Heavens when we were all unified in total love-bliss-light communion with God, it got boring, and we chose to embark upon this whole mystical mess of materialization. In our desire to experience an alternate reality than the *Infinite Unknowable God-Bliss*, we made this veiled world of polarity that allows for all kinds of crappy and great things to happen.
Realize that you continually co-create reality every day with your choices and habits. For the most part, we stay engaged and in support of the dying corpse-government system. NOW it is time to whole-heartedly support an upgraded reality. An example: each day when you buy gas, you aid the cancer of the oil industry. I chose to buy an ethanol conversion kit, and starting tomorrow (God willing the mechanic will install it) I can begin using 100% ethanol in my volvo and end my relationship with gasoline. I am researching how to make a still and harness free resources to use in production of my own home based ethanol operation for long-term sustainability as well. (Donations and help are welcome ;) Sustainable change is incremental, but must begin somewhere, and in these times HUGE CHANGE IS HAPPENING FAST! Consciously evolve by sculpting your life with your choices and habits.
#2 - The Evolution of Occupation is LOCALIZED LOVE BASED COMMUNITIES.
Once we realize that we are all here to serve LOVE, the conscious spirit which created and energizes all creation (under the code-name of God, Jehovah, Allah, Universe, Great Spirit, the Vacuum, Krishna or whatever you like), we unite in action to live the Truth of Love. Thats why I started the BhaktiChurch, aka Church of Love; to energize ourselves in LOVE through singing Gods Name in many languages, and then co-creating from a unified state of love-based action. Meaning, people operating from Love are much more focused, powerful, creative, and productive in actualizing BIG changes on Earth, and thats what billions of us are here to do.
In regards to the Occupation, I'm here to help complement OccupyAmerica with InspireAmerica, to demonstrate the example of humans that LOVE LIFE MORE THAN MONEY thrive in abundance doing so. I see a mobile eco-village in the parks of every major city in America (and the world) serving as a 24/7 Solutions Center to educate and show people who get drawn in what can be done RIGHT NOW to change lifestyles & spending habits to support the localized empowerment of our food, money, media, medicine, energy, and governmental systems. Humans NEED to live in resilient, abundant, entertaining, and loving local communities. Humans NEED to become immune to the death-throes of the globalized economic "superpowers" that once were vital to the evolution of humanity on Earth, but now just suck the life out of everyone.
InspireAmerica villages will leave every park practically and artistically better than we found it. High yield free food beds, requring less water than giant swaths of bermuda grass will be installed, strengthing the local food economy and inspiring passers by to chow down on food straight from our public spaces. Solar charging stations or biodiesel generators can power the tech. Artistically there are infinite options to use natural & compostable materials to shape, sculpt, enlighten, and entice passers by to stop in for awhile. Once in the boundaries of Inspire, they could take part in a yoga class/meditation/evolutionary discussion/ conscious media presentation, read a book, talk to an inspirational community leader, or browse our solutions materials and living examples.
Inspire Village will not be a sleeping area, as will occupy in order to AWAKEN, and to show the community we are serious, we well be AWAKE 24/7. Late night dance parties/conscious superfood elixir raves can last til 3 or 4am, then when they go home to sleep, the yogis will show up from 4-7am for intense spiritual practices to awaken and enliven the peoples of Austin. Then, the dayshift can take over to man the education tables/tents and work on the gardens, transitioning to the daily Communion times when everyone gathers to discuss visions and ideas on how to move forward in our effectiveness and action. Many more ideas can be added into this, but Im trying to keep it short ;)
How is this going to work in the wintertime? Well we can debut this idea in shifts, occupying Inspire Village for a few days at a time, then finding an indoor venue when it is cold as a mofo for a few days (I know of 3 or 4 spaces that would love to host this, at least) In the indoor venues we can build box gardens, bucket gardens, hanging gardens, and all the other awesome food growing/alternative energy technologies that transform our current dwellings from death-system dependance to life-abundant generation centers of community abundance.
What America needs now more than anything is to be Inspired by a vision of what our country can be. We are here to live the vision of sustainable, spiritually aware communities that have a thriving local economy, protected from the impending crash of the corporate-corpse governing system that has been killing life all around the planet, and sucking dry the working families of America. I have begun the transition, as have many others, to grow much more food at home, support the local economy, start my own business, run your house and car on renewable sources, educate ourselves through truthful media centers, and end my dependance on systems of oppresion. I'm not fully there of course, but I am accelerating my familys' freedom from the corpse-economy more and more everyday. We who are leaders are all doing this in different ways, and when we unite our Inspiration in Action, our LOVE, we will be unstoppable.
As many independant streams gather together to form a ragingly powerful river that can carve through mountains, so will our united LOVE-IN-ACTION renew fellow humans hearts and the lands which we inhabit, toppling any structures that are not grounded in the true source of all our power...... YHVH, Allah, GOD........LOVE!!!!!
If you feel called to co-create InspireAustin, or Inspire somewhere else, lets connect and make it happen soon. Because we are not just the 99%, WE ARE THE ONES!!!
**We are needed to Be the Change NOW so that All can see.... THIS IS WHAT LOVE LOOKS LIKE!!**
~these are all preliminary ideas open to co-creation and better ideas. I think yall get the gist of it ;)~
