The so what part comes in where...civilization's 7 billion has been built up during an interglacial...the majority of the population are petro-babies.
We are in a little bit of a sticky bind right now as the Governments are controlled by the entities that invested in destroying earth's life support, while simultaneously taxing the people for carbon.
Truth belongs to the highest bidder.

Centralized Power System—Power and corruption accumulate toward the top of the pyramid because of a general lack of sovereignty, in that people want to be looked after rather than make decisions. But also because the shadow and primate side of the species has not been adequately exposed and systems developed that prevent the build up of malevolent power. The people need to start decentralization (in energy and food especially) with avengeance because the Governments are not going to have the capacity to take care of one major disaster after another unless they stop investing in warfare and start dealing in reality. Nature herself creates energy and food where it is needed, so should we. Ultimately decentralization will be so pervasive that each light fixture and appliance will draw its own current either from solar or zeropoint; resulting in no wiring within buildings or between buildings or cities. It is only the illusion of scarcity born of archaic technology and primitive thought systems that breeds armed conflict. Sovereignty dismantles the pyramid and undermines the cultural psychosis that leads to war by tapping into the natural abundance of the Universe.

Happy Thanksgiving!

• Will and Action—Our actions differentiate us as individuals…that is we individuate through our actions and consequential feedback modification. Freedom of will consists in a distinctively personal form of causality to choose a course of action from among various alternatives. Our self-responsibility is huned by the development of our particular type of “will for life.” The stronger our will for life the better Self-system we can build, and the more we generally have to give. Without the elaborate socially acquired wiring for self-recognition and self-appreciation received in childhood we struggle to move from prepersonal into a solid personal sphere. A strong central loci of Self is largely the result of consistent loving attention and stimulation in infancy which generates a “sufficiency” by which we can then give throughout our life without codependent depletion. When we act or give out of a need for love or recognition we normally receive its opposite. The heart feeds itself with blood first, and we must first feed ourselves with our compassionate heart in order to act from a sense of fullness. From an overflowing sense of Self we can Be and Act who we really are…and what we are, we get.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to you!
   While cooking my turkey, I smiled as I caught myself thinking; “Jana would not approve.” And yet here she is, extending her own personal greetings, on what she obviously knows to be a day of excessive, carnivorous, mineral-less, American, gluttony.
    As I was taste testing my fluffy, freshly made mashed potatoes, a satisfied recognition overcame me as I was reminded as to just how talented I really am at the art of making really good mashed potatoes. They are so consistently delicious that it is almost a crime to taint them with a traditional dollop of thick, juicy gravy. And yet at the same time, I can also make a mouth watering gravy that would make ones Grandmother jealous with envy. Be it brown gravy, chicken gravy, pork, beef, or lamb –my mash potato expertise is only exceeded by my ability to conjure up an equally exquisite gravy to match those masterful mashed potatoes. I can cook a pretty mean turkey too…
   While I was taking care of my cooking business, I was also doing a little on-line reading. Interestingly enough, I found your posting in your ‘Substantiating Positive Psychology’ link, which read;

  all you have to do to awaken kundalini and get in touch with your soul is to 1. change to a remineralized-raw diet, and 2. stop killing yourself.

… Hehehe, yes, Happy Thanksgiving to you too…

When I was a little kid I had a personal fued with a particular turkey, whom I knew hated me. One day I found myself on the ground with a huge angry turkey on top of me...that was the only actual run in that I had with it, but now I consider turkeys open game.

Still I am loath to eat animal products in the US because of the barbaric farming methods...I still resistantly eat dairy and eggs tho. When I move back to the Pacific I will change over to mostly fish. Birds and fish have similar glycosugars to us, so don't mess with our cell communication system like red meat does.

Do you put nutmeg in your potatoes?

   That’s a funny story –although at the time, I’m sure it was anything but. Many people have carved out their lifelong worldviews after experiencing –or bearing witness to- various forms of violence or trauma during ones young life, which ultimately sets the stage for the type of individual many of us would come to develop into as fully functioning adults. Often times when we see or experience differing levels of violence in the world close to us, or even that which is much more distant, it is not surprising that far too many of us begin to build up a certain worldview, or defense mechanisms to help stave off –or better prepare ourselves- for such perceived inevitability. In other words, it becomes almost a foregone conclusion that when young minds perceive a violent world, it would not take much of a leap to conclude that such a perception, germinated to full maturity, will have an enormous influence upon that adult we grow to become.
   I am sure that you have not declared ‘open season’ on fowl fowl’s simply due to your past trauma inflicted on your innocent personhood at that earlier point in time. It has more to do with your objective analysis regarding ‘glycosugars,’ correct?

“Still I am loath to eat animal products in the US because of the barbaric farming methods...I still resistantly eat dairy and eggs tho. When I move back to the Pacific I will change over to mostly fish. Birds and fish have similar glycosugars to us, so don't mess with our cell communication system like red meat does.”

   How does red meat mess with cell communication exactly? Does the same apply to pork, or lamb also? I share your distain with respect to our barbaric industrialization of the food production process. One would hope that if more and more people were aware of such practices, that these practices would change with changing perceptions. Although I recall a few years ago telling a friend about the ongoing practice –from ships all over the world- to throwing tons and tons of garbage overboard, on a daily basis, for as long as ships have been sailing –and this friend became angry at ‘me’ for infecting their ‘beautiful mind’ (quoting Barbara Bush here) with such a horrendous vision, of which they had previously been sheltered from knowing. Talk about shooting the messenger right? It is the same phenomenon with our political worldviews as well. Keep it as simplistic a narrative as possible, and spare me all those ugly, heart wrenching details…

“Do you put nutmeg in your potatoes?”

   No, I don’t. Should I?
   After boiling the potatoes (with a little salt) until they are tender enough to come apart with a fork, I then drain them ‘thoroughly’ until no water remains, or my arms get tired holding that pot up for so long, draining them. I’ve seen folks drain their prospective mashed potatoes so haphazardly and quickly that the finished product comes out bland and runny in the end –and myself, I’m reaching for ‘creamy and fluffy.’ I use whole milk, not 1% or 2% -that leaves them too watery from my experience. I’m probably too generous with the butter, but then again I don’t indulge in fatty foods on a regular basis, so a little indulgence in this case is a sacrifice I can justify. I then add a little salt –depending on how much is in the butter- and a bit of pepper, whip to fluffiness (not too fluffy though), and that’s it! Tasty, beyond your wildest epicurean fantasy. No gravy required! There have been occasions where I have zest-ed them up a bit more with a few raw eggs blended in, along with a scoop of sour cream, and a colorful dash of chives for effect… Hmmm, I think it must be time for dinner…

Actually I don't really have it in for turkeys...I realize it was my fear for the poor turkey that got him so raving mad at me. I noticed no one came to the rescue tho as usual. I hope to go vegan when I move to HI to slow aging and reduce inflammation.

The glycosugar thing I write about in my next book...red meat is one of the reasons why the human species is perhaps the most inflammatory organism on the planet...possibly in the entire universe.

The Center for Academic Research and Training in Anthropogeny, at Salk Inst. is a center for interdisciplinary study of Anthropogeny. That is the study of the origins of humans. This kind of grand view is going to contribute enormously to medicine and understanding of our present circumstances. The codirector Ajit Varki can be seen talking about the importance of glyconutrients on youtube: “Primate Evolution and Human Disease.” His website is cmm.ucsd.edu/varki/

Suggest some chopped parsley, sour cream (I use the tops of my yogurt for this) and nutmeg...and if you don't use fresh ground pepper then forget it.

I thought you were all about the 'raw' already... Are you heading to HI as a stepping stop on your way back to NZ?

Thanks again for the links. I'll look them over...

[Jana]

I won't be 100% raw until I am on some land, and even then I will probably indulge in some cooked...but I can tell the loss of energy and consc. from doing so...its a cosmic alignment thing.
I gotta go to the tropics to do 2 more books as I have run out of juice here. Then I will head down to Oz and NZ and torment my fellow Australiasians.

Would the self-sovereign state not be more than 'being in the world but not of it?'

Nietzche saw a great crisis facing humankind in the centuries ahead, an unparalleled catastrophe which threatened even to bring about humanity’s end. He recognized the source of the crisis as being the inability of human beings to say yes to life. Due to the fear of mortality, the pain of existence, and a fear of fear, we have looked for liberation from this world through off-world Gods.  In the last 2 thousand years our male based theosophy, philosophy and leadership have viewed the earth and the body as a prison for the soul, with the ultimate goal of not to be here, to be somewhere else—Valhalla, Asgard, Avalon, heaven, emptiness, or the next life. The dwelling place of the Deity; the abode of bliss; the place or state of the blessed after death. Afterlife: Encyclopedia of Afterlife Mythology in Different Cultures. www.experiencefestival.com/a/Afterlife_-_Life_After_Death/id/46800

Through our lack of understanding on how to create bliss in this life we projected the beatific state onto the next as a consolation prize for our suffering. The Nietzschian grand crisis threatening to bring about an end to humanity is due to our inability to love ourselves into full lucidity. The body, unable to fall in love with existence…having grown over millions of years of struggle to be irritable, belligerent, occluded and resistant to full sensation and full sentience. Spirit has all but left the body, because the body and mind has become a prison due to our valiant survival attempt as we clung to the fragile thread of life within a cruel immature human system. Enlightenment is humanity's emergence from this self-incurred immaturity.

To reinstate the balance of culture we need to place greater value on the feminine, right-brain consciousness which integrates our errant fractionated self, tames hubris, reinstates reverence and devotion, and recovers our sanity. Dionysus represents the “releasing” shift from the personal into the dissolution stage of the impersonal in order to make room for the establishment of the transpersonal. The importance of bringing the Dionysian experience back into the alchemical transformation of humankind involves in bringing consciousness back to its senses. To suspend the cold calculated “usury” of the materialist conditioning, and allow Essence to re-inform the tissues to a new template for the compassionate Whole person. We can stop our decline and return to spirit, and ironically we now must in order to ensure the survival of our humanity.

In this collective dissolution period as we move through the impersonal on the way to substantiating the transpersonal there will be many that will not know what is going on and will resist the process and so stagnate or regress. Thus as a preceptor of the sovereign state we can reassure them of the larger cultural chemistry experiment and redirect them to their own sovereign potential. As the personal noosphere collapses there will be many looking for a life raft and your stronger core Self will look like salvation to them. However tempting it might be to gather ship wrecked souls onto your craft in order to feel important, it is futile to do so. Your ship will sink if you disrespect the sovereignty of others and try to be Source for them, rather than directing them to their own Source. In this crucial passage toward the whole human we really must understand the morality of spiritual leadership as never before. We simply cannot fail in this transition as there are too many of us and our technology is too dangerous to be left in the hands of partial and broken humans.

Only by being fully “in” the world can we transcend it.
Only by being fully “in” the personal can we transcend it.

... When I first read your statement about ‘running out of juice,’ my first reaction was; “really? I don’t see the evidence myself.” On the contrary, I see the opposite. You seem to be able to kick out multiple posts with both depth and insight, on a daily basis, and with seemingly little or no effort at all. If I had your level of juice, I could produce a book in a matter of weeks. If you believe your stay has run its course, that is one thing. However, to say that you have run out of juice… Hehehe, the facts do not support such an assertion… How soon before you depart?...

[Jana]

Ok just to globalize the issue I will say that the mainland is running out of juice. 

Cause I don't have any peers the people I meet tend to be arrogant and subversive...cause they don't understand. I was tending to dharma teach as a mode of interaction but that just sets up division and I bleed dry. Until we enter a new zeitgeist people will get increasingly parasitic, while I am getting increasingly blunt with them. I can help us enter the new zeitgeist, but not without peers for if I am to be bled I will die before I can be effective.

So I have to pull out to save myself...finish my next two books in HI by which time my global community will come to me three of four years down the line. The work is already mostly done though the effort in biological staying power needed to edit it is collosal...only HI can give me that.

I realize that Awakening Sovereignty is so big now that I have to do the more recent work as the first edition and the older work as the companion volume. And I have only scratched the surface as usual.

I was supposed to finish AS by the end of 09, but haven't really started editing yet. So it will probably be around Oct '10 before I zap off. I have to stay in the fire to perfect the language and subtleties of sovereignty.

Regenerous—This is one of the most important words to the sovereign for it points to the Source being the origins of all that we are, all that we have and all that we give. It also speaks to the cyclic process of giving and receiving, listening and expression. Regenerous means the generation of abundance from Source. The mystic civilization uses the subtle intelligence in the structure of the universe to provide free energy dispersal, free information dispersal and free commonwealth dispersal as the foundation of its existence. Because it can!

... Mainland, flatland, mainstream, yeah that makes more sense. Although one could argue whether or not there was ever any real juice to be had in the first place. It’s as if we have been running on nothing but fumes since recorded history, and every voice of reason our cultures have provided us, only seem to be here to remind us that fumes are all we can ever expect from life…

Cause I don't have any peers the people I meet tend to be arrogant and subversive...cause they don't understand

… Sure, that’s because we all come from a long line of fume-a-gaters who only know one version of reality -some with very slight variations- but only one mainland version none the less…

I was tending to dharma teach as a mode of interaction but that just sets up division and I bleed dry

… I hear ya. I’ve hooked up with one of the more progressive, alternative newspapers, and even though there’s an opportunity to engage with a less mainstream audience, what are the chances of finding a level of mystical acumen amongst this crowd, to my own? I’ve also tried to become more active in my union and in local politics, and yet I am almost certain that nothing but heartache will result in such efforts. Maybe it’s my own personal attempt to try and find a kindred soul or two amongst the more unconventional crowd. Maybe I’m just showing myself ‘what doesn’t work,’ so I’ll be better able to focus on areas ‘which may work.’ And then again, maybe I’m just completely full of…
 

Until we enter a new zeitgeist people will get increasingly parasitic, while I am getting increasingly blunt with them. I can help us enter the new zeitgeist, but not without peers for if I am to be bled I will die before I can be effective

… Well, if there’s going to be any kind of zeitgeist, it ain’t gonna be coming about through any sort of ‘conventional’ means. If there’s going to be any kind of zeitgeist, it will be originating from the outer fringes -the ‘lonely’ outer fringes. I’m pretty sure you’re carrying your share of the load. If I have any sense, I should jettison my own foray into conventional politics and union activism, and get back to my more promising ‘lonely outer fringe work’ –not unlike yourself…

So I have to pull out to save myself...

… I think I know what you mean…

finish my next two books in HI by which time my global community will come to me three of four years down the line.

… Not to be harsh my dear, but if you are certain of your global peers three or four years hence, why can they not show up now –to at least give you moral support- when you may need it the most?... If your collective peers refuse to come to your aid now, when you need them more than ever, I don’t know that I would be too thrilled to finally see them three or four years from now –when you will probably need them the least…

The work is already mostly done though the effort in biological staying power needed to edit it is collosal...

… It seems to me a cold climate might be the best place for a long editing process. If ones going to be snowbound for half a year, and locked in their abode for an extended period of time, well, that would be the perfect environment for a tedious editing endeavor. You go to Hawaii –with 365 days of sunshine- and what you’ll really want to do is to lay out in the hot sun all day long…

only HI can give me that 

… That’s what I said…

[Jana]

No point being locked up inside with low batteries unable to put in serious computer time and unable to fill up ones batteries with high octane sun drenched food and sunshine on the skin...and no ocean water to cleanse the soul. The reward of having a few people around the world groove on my work, is worth all the abuse the drones can throw at me.

I realize the fantasy of spiritual family is just fantasy, I would probably only be able to tolerate it for 5 minutes then I would be off over the green hills yonder. But it is one of the fantasies I still live by, having discarded most other fantasies. I don't hold up much hope for anything anymore, except finishing books and experiencing nature. The rest is illusion...and I am not depressed about it, I am released.

I know what you mean about the fume-alligators...sometimes I think we live in a cartoon book. Or a nightmare version of a kids story book that is not scary anymore because we have heard it so many times. I do think the greatest spiritual saying there is is "Fuck it!" 
I think it is your favorite spiritual saying too isn't it?

[Lawrence]

… Thank you for that very revealing peek into your own heart and soul. Yes, I have to agree, there is no sense in keeping yourself locked up indoors when the rechargeable batteries of which you speak are those of the solar powered variety. You cannot charge them up on cloudy days –that’s for sure. As great for the soul that ocean water may be, too much of that salt air can still cause corrosion and wreak havoc on sensitive electronic equipment.
 
… As far as your legions of adoring fans –count me as one of them. Although I have a deep fascination for the physical world around me –and how it functions- I do not possess the capacity to hold thousands of disparate concepts, and complex Latin derivatives  in my head all at the same time in order to qualify myself as a competent scientist. However, I do appreciate those who do possess this capacity, and even more so, those folks who use this particular talent in the pursuit of more ‘unconventional’ interpretations of that very reality. And since we have never even actually met in this same physical reality –I would venture to say that this might very well put me in that category of ‘secret admirer’…
 
… I hate to see you subordinate your wildest dream for the harsh reality of harsh reality –but I’m sure you know what is best for you. My particular fantasy is pretty damn simple –write my book, and go from there. I do have a certain fantasy about my book helping to trigger that zeitgeist of which you speak, but I would not complain from ‘where’ it originated –just as long as it shows up period!...

… I agree that this silly –but still very violent- narrative is getting quite old, and we are long past due for a new one. That new one can only come through the very world in which we live, presented in a whole new narrative itself…

… As far as that ‘Fuck it’ affirmation goes, yes, it is a good one alright. A good one that allows one –seemingly stuck in a metaphorical rut- to take pause, gather up their courage and conviction, and affirm with confidence; “Fuck it,” as we re-orient ourselves for further travel, on that road less traveled… (Hey, I think that would make a good title for a book…)

[Jana]

Well Fuck It!
• Death By Conformity—I have been off road for years...many of those I meet want to follow the road...they give constant verbal tickets if you let slip you are not on the same road as they. However it is dishonest to pretend that we too are road dwellers just for the sake of social ease. In fact we can use the similar tactics to relax the grip of pyramid consciousness in our surrounding sociosphere as others are using to maintain it. That is instead of being diminutive, defensive, apologetic or hesitant in the expression of our so-called "difference," we should be powerful and enthusiastic. To take up a sense of the joy of leadership in off road travel. When times are tough it is far safer to get off the road and it is always far more fun. Unity through differentiation and diversity.

Just call your book Fuck It! it will be a best seller.

I am reading a CIA romance thriller at present that was written in 2003 and it has the complete scenario of the mutated avian flu scandal of the lab that creates the disease and the vaccine...we are probably going to see a lot of this in future. Fuck It!
