Animals' Status in the East?

Angry Ganesh - PhaniAstronomy/Flikr

A good friend recently sent me a link to this 'unimaginable horror' story [helicopter-borne poachers wipe out herd of 22 elephants with automatic weapons] and asked me the following question:
" Why is it that those in the East, with presumably more 'authentic' and 'deeper' spiritual practice, do not understand the place of animals?"
(-the reason being that the 'products' destination and funding is in Asia.)


Since I've pondered this very same for many years in the abstract, I will attempt to put my thoughts into form in the following way:
Dear Friend, 
I just listened to John Lash on 'Handling the Psychopaths'. There's a lot in there, very nuanced, and insightful, and totally relevant to the question. (I also see now that there is a Part 2 of the above-linked conversation - very important.)
Anyway,...I guess the short answer is that this is the Kali Yuga.
I'm not a 'scholar' of social psychology, but I've observed first-hand some Eastern cultures and their attitudes toward animal life and various forms of 'other'.
So, why was it always we 'foreigners', with some notable local exceptions, who were rescuing injured street dogs in India, (I do know about New Delhi's 'dog lady')? The 'East', and India in particular, has been rushing headlong into the Western materialistic mindset for at least the last 50 years. They also, with the help of British and European colonialism, morphed into a twisted, enhanced version of their own hierarchical caste systems, royalty, feudalism and such, which becomes a gradation of which types of beings are 'more/less important'. The rush to materialism also creates social pressures that don't allow anyone any time to consider the crimes against nature and the environment while pursuing the requirements of the rat race.

I have extensively used and have great respect for Chinese medicine, but I understand that since Maosist times, all traditions have been corrupted. There are many 'doctors' in the east who are bribed by the animal product mafias to recommend to the public taking of endangered species' products for sexual and other ailments. There is a huge market for dog meat in Asia for specifically sexual/energy 'ailments'. Dolphin, tiger, and rhino penises also. Bear bile harvesting is also a horrible atrocity. These are all bullshit scams. But also in all these places there are fiercely committed activists within the populations working to defeat these psychopaths, and they know full well that it is an all-out war, and 'all options are on the table'. In Kenya the rangers are also blowing away poachers every week. Now this helicopter assault has really upped the ante, and clearly shows the power and resources of the mafias, most likely aided and abetted by the Chinese mafias who have moved into Africa for plundering any and all resources. We should remember that there are a lot of billionaires - psychopathic inter- and intra-species predators - now in both China and India, and they have entered the fray of extinguishing all life on earth, because they get off on the idea.
Most of the Asian general populations, however, are not aware of what's happening, neither abroad nor at home. And, importantly, most of this shit goes to the upper classes. Most Japanese don't know about the dolphin slaughters, but then they are also ignorant to the fact that dolphins and whales aren't fish. They spend all their time slaving away or playing with their gadgets and being 'entertained', and theirs is a culture of 'go along to get along'/ 'don't make waves'/ 'keep quiet'.
 

ALL the religions are shit, as far as spreading any true wisdom regarding the natural world or common respect in any way to their followers in these times. Witness the fucking supposed life-revering buddhists [Hinayana] in Sri Lanka raping and slaughtering the Tamil Hindus. We live in times of near total universal madness. All countries, east and west, have genocided their own aboriginal cultures, the wisdom traditions, the shamans and medicine people. In the process they have erased the memory of the populations of their true interconnectedness with the animal nations, the understanding of which existed probably for millions of years. This has been a major agenda goal for centuries by the elite ones infected with the wetiko plague. Lash says that the psychopathic element is built-in in the human consciousness (a Gaia-correction issue?), but that the Archons exploited the tendency, enhanced it in their 'royalty' project, and 'worked' it so that the plague would spread out in the populace over centuries to the point where the vast majority of sickos would be 'normal'. Lash doesn't ascribe the problem as coming from an off-planet super-entity such as 'Satan' and his ongoing manipulations, it being a simplistic construct invented for the dumbed-down. I feel the same way, though everybody likes to use the term, even in the supposed 'awakened' spiritual 'communities', but to me its just giving a name to the 'bogey-man'. He also described the psychopaths as LIFE-PHOBIC. For some reason (a DNA glitch that got passed on?) they are scared shitless of all things natural and wild in this planetary dimension, as well as spontaneity, creativity, imagination, and change.
 
Hell, in India today even the cows are suffering, due to car 'accidents', the mafia cow-slaughter industry, and all the toxic plastic and other crap they end up eating, as well as general neglect. How do you explain that? There, there is a Hindu element that lobbies and does activism against cow abuse, and has succeeded in banning vivisection in India and stopped monkey-export, but they believe in a hierarchy of animal life and also don't give a shit about wildlife for the most part. If you see the overwhelming fear of most of the population towards anything 'jungle-y', the forest, the wild untamed nature, you would see the source of the problem. Everything 'jungle-y' is 'of the bad past', and they imagine they are entering into the 'modern' age where all that closeness-to-the-land stuff is irrelevant now. They've been indoctrinated into self-shaming about their 'primitive' past. I imagine it is not that different in China and SE Asia.
India is a mafiocracy, meaning EVERY aspect of society and commerce is structured according to mafia social engineering designs. It could also be called a 'pathocracy' (death-culture run by psychos). I would assume other Asian societies are all now pathocracies too, it being Kali Yug. Its weirder than shit that the Hindu gods/goddesses all have animal familiars, and the Toaist tradition lives on with its 12-cycle animal zodiac, yet these things have become nothing but meaningless ornaments, like cross-necklaces signifying one's cult-identification.   

The elites all over the world think nothing of enslaving and torturing women and children, and sentient animals even less, so entire populations are ponerized via collective traumatization by the in-your-face pervasiveness of these industries' influence on society as well as the abuse-porn evidence ubiquitously exposed for all to see with one click. So the elites carry on with their thoughtless destruction of the entire natural world because 'they can' and they've gotten away with it, and the ponerized lower classes imitate the same behavior, preying upon all things 'lower' (at minimum, at least they can feel superior to something, and its also becoming the only kind of 'job' available). As Lash said, all animals have their own specific 'prey', but only humans prey on ALL other species and life-forms. Omnipredators? Additionally, many of the elites seem, either consciously or unconsciously, to be into 'transhumanism' - trying to live forever and/or become less human and more cyborg, or just 'more than human'. Death itself, of course, is one of the major phobias of the afflicted.

Warrioress - exoticindia.co

 There are so many levels to this problem, its almost impossible, or would take days or a book-length essay, to cover all of the dimensions. It really must be just fucking exquisite to 'know' that's its all just going to work out according to some newage scenario of almighty god's cavalry just now coming over the hill as we speak, and/or 'he' ('our f-father-god') has long ago worked out the plan, in 'his' infinite wisdom, for us to serve time in a psycho hell-hole and then ascend to the happy synthesizer-hearts-of-space-music 27th dimension of peace, smiley sunshine, and skies filled with prosperity ships, where we shit marshmallows and wipe our asses with cotton candy instead of forests. There's a chance that good things are coming soon, a chance, but I just don't know for certain about such matters, though one must surely remain open to the positive possibilities. Words are words are words, coming from any authoritative voice, maybe even including the Devic realm, and I haven't been convinced by any authority regarding where this 3D is going to end up, with or without us. Hell, I don't even know if I'll be around for 12/21/2012. For sure the daily collective 'energy shifts' are massive, as you may have noticed, heh. That death isn't 'the end', is something of which I am convinced, though. 
So, "rise up rise up, take your stand again" and again and again...as Bob continues to sing.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I feel like ending this with some Gaian Eco-Sorcery vibration, maybe some warrioress energy, like what Sistah O'Connor displays here in this awesomely lovely traditional song....

In the liner notes to her album Sean Nos Nua, she writes of the song:
"This song, for me, celebrates the return of any woman to her power, having lost it to invading forces. It is an honoring of the female warrior spirit and of the right of women to be true to themselves despite what the world dictates they 'should' be. A song celebrating the preciousness of female ferocity, strength, and fire...This is represented by the coming of summer in the song...In actuality it is a war song in honor of Grainne Mhaol, a warrior noblewoman of Ireland who lived at the time of Elizabeth I, and whose ships were a formidable force on the Irish west coast." 
I love too the sublimely powerful and graceful traditional dancing accompanying this live piece (2007?)

 
More? Others recently found:
Another powerful heart-rending original piece from the past, "This is a Rebel Song", questioning the invaders.
And some new ferocity live in Los Angeles 2 months ago, totally rock and roll. Sorry, I guess I'm a 'fan'.  

'All One' for the Irony-Challenged

prabhupadanugas.eu

Lord Narasimha is an "avatar" of Vishnu, according to those of the Vaishnav persuasion, who comes to the aid of those in extreme danger. Maybe I should dedicate this image to Ted Numnuts and his ilk, especially for his lovely manly attitudes toward wildlife. [Typical for an icon of life-hating loser morons, he now promotes "intimate 'spiritual campfire' trips at his private (canned) hunting ranch in Texas". "Majestic  Buffalo 'hunting'" is also an option on his Sunrize Acres "biodiversity ranch" in Michigan. Come on, people, is 'death-cult' spirituality an oxymoron in this day and age, really?] Never heard the so-called "music", but can imagine a collaboration with Madonna might be the perfect anti-tantric demonic sonic mind-fuck sound-track for the apocalypse. Ted and his NRA fans like to kill shit (any life form that's an 'other') (its a 'sexual' thing) and are pissed that the liberals have now surpassed the kill-counts of their conservative heroes. We couldn't have wished for a more perfect embodiment and standard-bearer of the self-important low-life wetikos.

Actually I was already thinking about Narasimha before the NRA vomit-hurl and its fallout. There are many fine images of this avatar, but I like the crowd shot since it resonates with the reality of the numbers involved in the current wetiko overtaking of our home planet. I guess there is 'negative resonance' as well as 'positive', heh. Actually 'resonate' is maybe not the best word to define the phenomenon. I was thinking more in terms of macro- and micro-reflections, global and local mirroring correspondences of the Wetiko phenomenon. I've been dealing with and observing this kind of thing locally for last 23 years. A perfect 'resonance', or whatever. Elitist tribal Wetikos in charge of an Eastern cult that promotes "love everyone,  feed everyone", while expressly despising and destroying community and fomenting hostility toward authenticity, respect, and true compassion, and including, naturally, the misogynistic element. The parallels with ruling elites on the world scale are countless, precise, and breathlessly real; it's been a deeply mind-disturbing decades-long experience living in and attempting to change the nature of the neighborhood. And it has been a deeply sad and depressing journey knowing the incredible unlimited possibilities of 'what could be', eg: land, infrastructure, highly skilled and creative community, etc all present. The cult likes to preach "all one"; there's that irony-challenged thing, yes it is 'all one' identical ugly psychopathic situation (and knowledge of psychopathy is nil).

As a musician I can travel around the eastern cult world and have everyone presume my presence means I am an adherent to their 'brand'. This provides ample opportunities to microscopically examine the inner workings, the personalities of 'leaders', as well as hear voluminous laundry airings of the soiled kind. Not that that was ever my intent, but it just worked out that way. Mostly, I wish to hell that I never had to be the carrier of that particular knowing, but there's no 'delete/erase' button. 
The core problems everywhere are twofold: most practitioners have no initiatory one-on-one parampara experience; and the vast majority that set the vibes/make the rules are people who have book-and-exoteric-knowledge only and use it to psychologically beat down anything that smacks of unique authentic revealed initiatory transmission. There's also the five-minute meeting-with-a-master thing which entitles one to start your own cult/religion too.

I wanted to continue the thread of the 'guru experience', but most of the time the deeply personal nature of that extraordinary level of beauty of communion defies description....and I don't know what benefit is second-hand info. Besides, its more about walking the road for the rest of one's days anyway. Because of the parampara transmissions, the musical collaborations with other initiates (with knowledge of the right intent behind the act) invokes the intended level of magic, lineage-channeling, and timeless self-dissolving into the purity of the Nada. This exact thing has occurred on many occasions within the cult environments, despite (or because of?) the disinterest and cluelessness of the PTBs involved. This has been going on for centuries, in both the east and west. Brahmins, priests, and all the rest of the wand-wavers imagine or pretend they are exercising power over the Devic realms, while lining their pockets and doing their predations. That's why they didn't mind the expulsion of traditional musicians, dancers, and story-tellers from the brick and gold edifices. What remains is this thing called 'sankirtana' (kirtan) - the lowest common denominator of sacred music. Nothing wrong with it, of course, especially if you have no exposure to the real shit. Kirtan is the primary scam of western posers, and requires no study, discipline, or creativity... but it holds out the possibility of money, fame and sex, but mostly hasn't panned out much. But it works really well to advance the agenda of keeping people ignorant in the religious realms. Chanting a rough approximation of the mantra with an approximate level of intonation 1008 times is all you need for moksha. And, of course personal liberation is always the prime motivation.

Anyway, discussing spirituality with people whose cosmology isn't based on a foundation of Tantric or Taoist perception, or plant-medicine original instructions, is a waste of time. Anything else is mind-control and/or crowd-control as well as a business model for the lazy and unimaginative. Absence of a comprehension of interconnectedness with all life immediately exposes the fraudulent nature of all of what's thought of as 'religion' and which now holds sway over most of the 7 billion of our species. 
Personally, I've recently had to make a final clear break from my peripheral involvement in the 'spiritual community' which originally brought me to this area 23 years ago. Everybody loses, but to continue would end up just taking me out sooner than later. I have no hope in the younger people either, who continually arrive year after year but remain unable to see through the smoke and mirrors of party-line platitudes into the true historic squalid cultish psychopathy of those making the decisions and holding the purse-strings behind the scenes. This is what also fuels my doubt about the success of the Occupy movements. Locally nothing has as yet scratched the surface of our county or state mafiocracy, and the 'traditions' remain well entrenched. 

Despite extensive publicity only 15 locals showed up for an excellent free presentation on "The Trouble With Trapping". That's even with several high-profile recent stories of pets and people being injured on close-by public lands. 23,000 bobcat pelts were exported to China and Russia from New Mexico over the last decade. Enormous effects on the ecosystems, but who knows and who cares? With prices ranging from 200-600 bucks, and in tough economic times...
The situation is mirrored on all levels, in perfect clarity. And coming up with a plan sourced from the intellectual mind is not a possibility. 
Nina says it all much better than I could ever hope to:
..."the time nears we must get it together with our bredren in spite of their perspectives.  There is no enemy.  There are only destructive, degrading forces unaware of Universal consequence, forces which must adapt into awareness of the higher principles required for a peaceful transition as we join the Milky Way.  I see this as the only possibility for infinite growth - out there.  The infinite growth so treasured by little man treasuries willingly ensnared under the law of gravity, can only come about by living every moment with right intention, a state actually available to all by simply putting the matter of planetary continuation in the forefront of your every thought and action."  

Wish we could ask Shayne, 51, of Brentwood Sanctuary, Essex, UK what his take is. The oldest horse on the planet, pure beauty sharing our space here on our way to One Destiny.      

Updated - Front Lines Everywhere

Do I dare venture into this blog world yet again, with the same endless themes of late - being rendered speechless while pointlessly displaying images of human-animal beauty contrasted with undeniably unacceptable ugliness? I've nothing to add to the eloquent essays out there on the absurdity of news events regarding wars, politics, brainwashed ignorance, and analysis of the psychological roots of all the 'newsworthy' atrocities. So, for no particular reason, we'll see if this page materializes, with barely a cohesive plan or objective in mind - just some random material that passed by on the screen via emails and such.

Before getting into the dense present and the heart-breaking and heart-stirring stories from the front lines (where are there not 'front lines'?), check out this vid sent by a friend, of a music mehfil filmed by Pakistan TV in 1974: (sorry, couldn't find a translation yet - famous Punjabi folk song with the immortal Reshman) 



Readers might want to just leave it there and move on to the next blog, not because what follows is devoid of human beauty, but because its a mixed bag of the very good, bad, and ugly - like our lives today.

Being as we have this abiding interest in wildlife rehab, I've been following a story out of South Africa from the Koriega Reserve and the ranger/protectors there, dealing with a unique rehab situation. On March 2 there was an attack on the rhinos - three of them - where the animals were tranquilized (silent weapons) and an attempt to remove the horns with chain-saws while still alive. They succeeded with two, and they were discovered the following morning - and immediately the humans went into action. An incredibly valiant effort got underway, with world-wide co-operation and donations for veterinary specialists and labs. They have been under the constant care and monitoring of the best examples of homo sapiens available. Unfortunately one of the animals died after 24 days, but the other is still recovering and seemingly doing fairly well, as photos and a report today (3/31) attest.

A traumatized but healing Thandi on 3/31/12

 Following here are some extraordinary videos. This, to me, is an archetypal example of what we have going on on Planet Wetiko/Planet Empathy, our dualistic Mother. 
The words of the rangers and rehabbers and caretakers are extremely moving, and what they are talking about is the spiritual challenge we all face, not just in terms of wildlife, but of all life, including the true humans still remaining. 

Some of this story has been covered by negotiationisover.net, and originally was prefaced by the following quote by Dr. Steven Best (with which I can relate in terms of Gaian Ecosorcery and Kalika Warriorship): “IT IS TIME TO STEP UP THE BATTLE A QUANTUM LEAP. THIS IS THE TIME OF CRISIS, THE MOMENT OF DECISION, THE CROSSROADS OF DO-OR-DIE! FROM AFRICA TO BORNEO, FROM ROMANIA TO THE US, FROM CANADA TO CHINA. IF IT IS NOT OBVIOUS MURDERERS RULE THIS PLANET, ARE PROTECTED BY THE STATE, AND WILL TAKE EVERY LAST INDIVIDUAL OF EVERY LAST SPECIES UNLESS WE STOP THEM, WHEN WILL IT BE OBVIOUS? STEP IT UP, UP, AND UP 10 LEVELS HIGHER. THE GLOVES ARE OFF. FUCK THEIR RULES, INVENT YOUR OWN, AND FIGHT TO WIN!”

  

 
Follow the story on Kariega Reserve's Facebook page. 

Another video sent by a friend provides yet another timely example of the ubiquitous duality, this one featuring our bedeviled wolf relations, for whom things could hardly get worse. The photo below has become a viral sensation around the web from Earth Island Journal and other sites, and features a dipshit moron wetiko sadist named Josh Bransford of Elk City, ID, Fire Management Officer, Red River Ranger District of Nez Perce National Forest, Idaho. The doctor prescribes suicide. If you want more detail, I suppose you could google him...

The question is how do we save these assholes' souls from their karmic fate - oh, wait, we can't, they don't have one.
UPDATE: Dave Linkhart, spokesman for the National Trappers Association, said there's nothing wrong with a trapper posing with his catch before killing the animal. "People make the problem of attributing human feelings and emotions to these animals." Linkhart claimed trapped animals don't suffer, so taking the time to shoot a photograph does not cross ethical boundaries. "If you look at the trap -- across the pad of the foot like that -- if you were to release the animal it would walk away like nothing happened," Linkhart said.
Note: the AR folks who exposed this story and photos have received death threats and reported them to 'authorities'. Good luck with that. My own reporting of same resulted in NOTHING.

Anyway, here's the video of an energy healing session at Earth Fire Institute, nice:




Why do rhinos and wolves matter? If you have to ask, please go somewhere else, thanks. 
I'm going to be honest here and say that I'm truly bored shitless with the masturbatory religious and philosophical discussions on the nature of human and animal souls, god, jesus, satan, krishna, holy books, yahweh, allah, saviors, avatars, the calvary & the aliens coming over the hill, and all of it related to some 'other' out there about to show up and straighten this mess out. As I've said often enough, none of the above characters exist in past, present, or future, and monotheism is the greatest curse and hoax ever perpetrated on humanity. Judaism/OT is all a lie and so is jesus/NT and the islam that appeared as a third rail for this train-ride to hell. We're living in a totally insane matrix created from an ancient competition between insanely deluded one-god-ers and roman materialist opportunists. To me,ALL religionists are 'fundies' and abetting all the other isms that play into the divide-and-conquer game (hell, I may as well throw in the buddha here too). Read Caesar's Messiah for fuck's sake. Or look at jesusneverexisted.com for a quick run-down on the real situation. You are perfectly allowed to think I don't have a spiritual life, or that I'm intolerant, please, go right ahead. But please tell me why I should take seriously or tolerate insistent pronouncements by anyone who claims to have a 'personal relationship' with any 'historical' personage that was invented by evil wetikos. And try to convince me that 'healings' and 'energies present' in places of worship are proof of the reality of the made-up fables. Can we consider the sacred Mother Earth ley-line energies entombed beneath the stone walls? Isn't it about time we recognize the vastness within all of our animal beingnesses, our true Self interpenetrated with the entire universe, our 'junk' DNA, all our relations, and so on? I'm too old to pander to liars, for friendship, fame, popularity, or fortune, or because their 'heart's in the right place'. This ignorance and self-delusion has brought all we love to the brink of extinction. And its the essence of our Neptunian-Chironic crisis of toxic belief systems which we're in the middle of and seeing atrocious daily examples. 
Bob Dylan said, "if my thought-dreams could be seen, they'd probably put my head in a guillotine".
And Bob Marley said, "it seems like, total destruction, the only solution". 


That's what I mean by having nothing to add on any level, so ignore it and carry on.
Was it Jimi that said, "manic depression's captured my soul"?


Here's Neptune-Chiron at its best, the melt-down of a toreador who became an animal-rights advocate:

There's a back story to this video, but you will have to do your own research if you are not familiar with what happened in 2010. It began with a tragedy on the streets of Seattle. This is a powerfully magic celebration of the life of martyred Native American carver John T. Williams, a testament to the spirit of the (real) people, as well as a truly inspiring permanent memorial to one, and all, of the fallen innocents. This was filmed 3 days ago in the center of the city. Beautiful singing and drumming.
This is what true power looks like. It has nothing to do with suits, gold, teevee, or drones.
It has been done. All beings, our relations, witnessed the great work. So be it. Aho.

Came across this interesting historical tale from the mid1900s, posted on the ALF website.

Yes, its all true - the vegetarian lioness who toured the country, lived in a California sanctuary, loved to cuddle with her lamb, kitten, and chickie friends. The back story to this is a mind blower too. Read about Little Tyke: True Story of a Gentle Vegetarian Lioness.

Okay, is that 'biblical' enough for you? Maybe this....?

I really don't have much to say these days. Pictures work better for me. Some shock and some inspire, but all pretty much leave me speechless. When I hear that the world lost at least 480 elephants in the last two weeks to heavily armed poachers from Sudan and Chad, and I contemplate where the weapons and drug exchanges originate from, and where the ivory will end up, I keep my thoughts and words between me and Kali Ma. What kind of world does She, and we, prefer?:

This? -

New Jersey lawyer 'hunter' psycho dad and daughter

Or this? -

New Mexico wildlife rehab gentle hands

¿Que preferes? I'm feeling really generous today. Since there's no longer any need to issue curses, since there are already millions of quasi-humanoids who have absolutely effectively cursed themselves; and there is no longer a danger to those of us who 'intend harm to those who harm'; I am going to simply hand out millions of Kali-esque speedy/priority-delivery, take-immediate-effect, time-sensitive time-enhancements to the already scheduled heart-attacks, strokes, accidents, mental breakdowns, and terminal synchronicities which can begin now.

Kala Bhairav (source)

Kalabhairava is the fearsome aspect of Shiva (consciousness) and annihilator of evils such as destroyers of innocents, incestors, Wetikos and such. He is Kali Ma's B-friend. His vehicle is the Dog, "Ruru". He is Lord of the March of Time, so we'll send our termination-papers out in the mouth of fleet-footed Ruru and run him along the path of the mantra: “Om Hraam Hreem Hroom Hrime Hroum Ksham Kshetrapaalaaya Kaala Bhairavaaya Namaha”.'Atta boy!

Once upon a time I had really fast hands (grin). It was then that a friend happened to have an analog 8-track recorder (slaved to a couple 2-tracks), and he got me to lay down a few classical mridang pieces of my own arrangement. There was a cassette released in about '92-'93. So, since I'm also feeling generous in an artistic way, I've put 6 tracks up on Box.net for listening or download, or just for permanent akashic records.

Other Dog and Pony (Horror) Shows

Mahasiddha Kukkuripa - Source

I'm getting so fucking sick of pointing this shit out, I may just drop it altogether soon. No, I am not going anywhere near those now-completely-uncloaked dog-shit-spewing candidates for top-dog degenerate-in-service-to-omnicidal-ecstasy....not that dog-and-pony show.

Rather I'm just pointing to the personage at the left here, a certain Buddhist Mahasiddha referred to as Kukkuripa, "the Dog Lover". He is the tantrik yogi who forsook the Buddhist 'paradise' when he saw his rescued dog friend again suffering and starving in his absence. Meditate on this image. Beautiful on many levels, no? [Can't find the artist, though it could be Robert Beer.]

Upon returning and embracing his pining companion, she turned into a beautiful Dakini who granted him complete realization, whereupon he lived a long life of selfless service and ascended to the Dakini heavens with hundreds of devotees.  

This one's for those who identify with the sacred instructions given to our ancestors regarding our part in the divine experiment of Sophia/Gaia/Madre Tierra, but maybe not so relevant if you're stuck in the religious or newage paradigm that says it's all under control of something "out there" and our job is to keep stocked up on organic doritos, beverages and kush. Meaning: Instructions to be followed through the entire cycle to its end-point, with collaboration and engagement.

Where we're going here is into the realm of what John Lash calls "Gaian Eco-Sorcery", also "Kalika Warriorship", alluding specifically to the nature of this particular moment in the time-wave, and its corresponding iconography. This could also be considered equivalent to, in ALF and ELF parlance, "Self-defense by extension". It is specifically about the personal response to what is undeniably, unacceptably intolerable. A deep discussion took place a couple weeks back on this subject in Mexico with friends. On the return, passing between El Paso and Las Cruces, I viewed the massive cattle feed-lot stretching for miles (almost as big as the one on I-5 in Cali, where a recent ALF action torched 14 semi's to ashes - roundly applauded and celebrated). I'll get back to the feedlot shortly.

John Lash, on Jan. 19th, discussed this subject in depth on GrokTheTalk and can be heard HERE. A very important and timely post. 

What Lash says resonates intimately with my own feelings and life experience, both because I have experienced first-hand an extended journey into the Devic Realm (a story for another time), and because I have a continuing deep relationship with Ma Kali over 37 years. The Devic world was once fully visible and connected with human society, but receded into near-invisibility due to the Wetiko Predators' take-over of Earth. Only the animals remain visible from that realm, and the entirety is enraged. At this late stage, we don't even know if our warriorship is a 'choice' thing, or even matters. It is likely that all present warriors are functioning solely as instruments of the Goddess, having surrendered personal will to Her, and acting spontaneously on Her behalf. This makes the question of violence-vs-non-violence moot. As Camille Moreno says, the "John Brown moment" can arrive any day. I have turned and continue to turn all grief, rage, and wrath over to Kali, and it is a most empowering process. In Mexico it became clear that all Gaian warriors now have 'permission' to use any and all skills and knowledge acquired through all lifetimes, including those previously forbidden. 

The War on Gaia/the Devas is the same as the War on Innocence (on the Innocents). For thousands of years in the crosshairs have been: the children, the feminine, wildlife and habitats/wildness/wilderness, healers and shamans, artists and artisans, purity of air/water/food, "food animals"...we know the drill. Newly added targets for terrorization now are the equine races and the canine races. Equines have been a primary 'resource' in service to "civilization" as well as iconic partners in a human-animal dynamic. So have our canine friends, for 33,000 years, been allies and loyal servants. 'They' are finally getting around to demonstrating for our own horrification, that even these beloved relatives can be subjected to the worst.

In his talk Lash correctly identifies Kali with the "expression of the wrath of Gaia". "She is the one who delivers our species from enduring the enslavement, entrancement, and enforcement of the spell of the predators. In the case of each individual person, Kali requires an offering that shows that you are ready to break that spell, a statement of your commitment. To apply your power against those who intend harm, intend harm to them."

He also notes that Kali's warriors can be identified by the way they are "disarming to ordinary people, having innocent charm, which is the same as the power of the nagual."

The predators are not high masters of magical powers, but the "blind instruments of the supernatural powers that have been banished from human experience". Just like the Devic realm, recovery is imperative, like, now. In conclusion, Lash accurately notes that the true nature of Ma Kali is "magnificent tenderness".... like the samurai sword fiercely swung, delicately slicing the tips of the hairs on your face. 

Last moment terror

Passing the feedlot, my thoughts turn once again to the United Horsemen, and their demonic spokesman, excuse me, 'president' Dave Duquette. I realize that, despite widespread opinion, for him and his demon horde, it's not about greed per se. Pure, unrestrained hate for the Devic realm, an ancient obsession with its annihilation and therefore the death of Gaia is what its about. They have announced a grand convention April 2-5 at the Embassy Suites, Oklahoma City, featuring Temple Grandin, to go big-time with their plans to slaughter the wild horses of the west, the retired race horses, and anything else equine they can lay their hands on. Politicians and billionaires are lining up to cash in on the emotional terror feast.
The keynote address on Wednesday morning, April 4th, will feature renowned scientist, Dr. Temple Grandin of Colorado State University speaking about "Humane Horse Handling."  The rest of the morning will be dedicated to the introduction, explanation, and demonstration of a suite of technology solutions that are being implemented throughout the re-emerging horse processing industry to ensure continuing high standards of humane handling of horses at every stage, as well as food safety and quality with scientifically valid testing, inspection, and third party monitoring and audit systems. 
Wednesday afternoon, April 4th, will be dedicated to strategies and tools to effectively communicate with and inform policy makers and the public, as well as how horse owners can protect themselves from animal activist attacks. The afternoon begins with an address from Kevin Murphy, Food Chain Communications, talking about the "Moral-Ethical Implications of the Horse Processing Debate - How it Will Be Framed to the Public - How You Can Respond." Also included in the afternoon will be Mindy Patterson, president and co-founder of The Cavalry Group speaking to "Defending Your Private Property Rights and Going on the Offensive Against the Animal Rights Movement." 

Interesting that the Spielberg film War Horse is currently playing around the country, with the theme of equine nobility and service. Purposes of demonstration abound. Scores of AR organizations have been alerted, and Duquette's response to the leaking of the conference program is to taunt the community of sane humans with "remember, we got the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act (AETA)". You can't make these scenarios up. Grandin's that fucking sick-ass autistic scum whose intellectual "prowess" and complete absence of empathy and spiritual self-reflection engineers new and improved ways to lead cattle to slaughter, and apparently has drawn up the plans for the horse strategy. John Brown moment soon comin'. I'm sure there are different colors of autism, but...she's definitely not indigo. Maybe I should add a quote here from the good 'Doctor' Grandin: "I do have emotions and they are very strong.  However, they are simple, not complex; such as a growl compared to a thunderstorm. I have replaced emotional complexities with intellectual complexities."

This kind of shit is coming on line, of course, as many studies are revealing the extraordinary emotional lives of the animal tribes. Can we remember, as our First Nation relatives do, the time when we conferred with the animal tribes? Not so long ago in cosmic time. Here is one of many relevant articles:

Scientists are beginning to explore joy in the animal world

It's past time to get serious about reanimating our invocational memories and skills. This is not the 19th century, when fire-power was the prime determinant. Among the 7 billion here now are all the spiritual warriors of ages past to single-mindedly focus their talents in co-operation with the physical-activists to unceasingly envision the world anew, totally cleared of all aspects of the old death-culture paradigm. Vigilance against getting side-tracked by clever, cynical-voiced wordy charlatans is crucial. Become unshakably solid in our true siddhis and connection to inner source, not the bullshit entertainment low-level siddhis so prevalent in our pop-culture-derived 'spiritual' vocabulary. Time left can now be measured in weeks, not years.

China' famous crying slaughterhouse buffalo

Those still not ready to drop the old paradigm of excusing and ignoring the 10 billion/year industrial holocaust are headed for certain unending imprisonment in karmic hell realms.


People like Duquette and the forces behind such psychopathic puppets will quickly and easily jump over to the canine market. You didn't know there was a 'canine' market? Have a look. South Korea, China, Vietnam and other countries have a booming business in "meat dogs" - everything from St. Bernards to Chihuahuas. It primarily for "energy" and making men's dicks bigger, as you would expect. Powerful mafias run the show, paid-off 'doctors' prescribe, and police protect. The export market is waiting to be tapped. You think Kali Ma's not pissed and hungry for a massive feast?

 

All efforts with powerful intent work. 68,000 emails, thousands of facebook posts, and hundreds of calls stopped AirFrance from shipping monkeys from Mauritius to O'Hare this week, in a period of 24 hours. Use all your power, spiritual and temporal, on all levels to both heal and destroy. You're working for the Mother, don't forget. The destruction of Innocence is all for your benefit. Do you feel it yet?

To close this post on another subject -
Two films recently released: The Grey and Big Miracle. The first made by an asshole who is "afraid of animals", who treated his cast with a lunch of wolf-meat. Nothing more to say. We all know about the war on wolves.
The second, Big Miracle, is about the '88 international effort to free a whale pod in the Arctic. I'm going to point out, and re-post, the true back-story on this movie, as I did a year or so ago on this blog. The film producers knew of this back-story, but found it too terrifyingly paradigm-busting. My good friend, Beau, shamanically placed a giant crystal in the sea exactly where this scenario happened a week before all the world press descended on the place. The evidence is undeniably clear in this reposted video:




Time is short and I have more important things to attend to than continuing to write about this shit. Night of Shiva is coming up at the coming New Moon, and Shiva is the devoted servant of Kali Ma. All-night ceremonial action is prescribed. 
Om Namah Shivaya, Om Durgayai Namah

Moving Through The Time

From a BBC article by Andrew Terry on Madagaskar:
"Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust
Madagascar is an ancient island that split from the Gondwana super-continent approximately 165 million years ago. This isolation has driven the evolution of a multitude of unusual and beautiful animal and plant forms that exist nowhere else on Earth.
Some of these species were present when the island split but many had to cross the Mozambique Channel, mostly likely by rafting on vegetation and subsequently evolved into unique forms.
Lemurs, for example, the best known of Madagascar's wildlife, share a common ancestor with present day prosimians (primates that are characterised as more ancient than monkeys or apes) such as bush babies. When their ancestors arrived in Madagascar they evolved and diversified into the 100 or so species known today.
Described as the 'eighth continent' for the richness of its biological diversity, over 95% of the plants and animals on Madagascar are found nowhere else... As a global biodiversity hotspot, this unique island is one of the world's most important conservation priorities."

Okaaay. So, all you freaks who think the "thing to do" is BUY GOLD - you might want to take a look at the growing 'BUSH MEAT' trade of LEMURS as a further consequence (in addition to child slave-labor) of GOLD MINING and accompanying political destabilization.
Which brings me to the main point of this post. There is a tribe of people in the high mountains of Columbia called the KOGI. They moved up the trail about 400 years ago when they saw the Spanish Wetikos arriving and slaughtering and gold-lusting. They 'disappeared', as far as those remaining on the lowlands were concerned.
In 1997 or thereabouts they contacted some outsiders to give a message to the world (the "Younger Brothers"). The result was the 1998 film entitled "FROM THE HEART OF THE WORLD", now available on YouTube, while previously only on VHS. This is maybe one of the all-time most important films and messages ever produced. It gives you all you need to know about the rules for being a human being on this planet.
As seen in the film, GOLD was useful to these people for the purposes of spiritual divination as well as offerings to the Spirit World of the Devas and Mother Earth. That's all. Do you get it?! The film ends with showing how the Kogi have been monitoring the glacial and permafrost melt for the last century up in their high country - the very reason for contacting we "younger brothers".

Related to all this is the film "JANE'S JOURNEY". Thoroughly beautiful. It is out in video, see it now.
This film follows Jane Goodall as she travels the world 300 days out of the year, trekking in the bush and mountain tops and speaking to millions. Her foundations in 120 countries are doing some of the most phenomenal work on the planet. She's 76 years old. Yeah. Not a lightweight.
At the end of the film she sits with an Inuit shaman in Greenland and hears about their monitoring the loss of glaciers. Skeptics please see another reference below. If for no other reason to see this film, you don't want to miss the segment with the HIPPOPOTAMUS WHISPERER, no shit!

For all those (anthropogenic) climate-change deniers out there, have a look at this slide-show of the Himalayas, linked by Desdemona Despair. If this doesn't convince you, you must be one of the 80% of Iowa Repugncans who think its a NWO hoax (and the 70% who think evolution is bogus). Good luck.

Oh yeah...the photo at the top is of 400 AR demonstrators in the main square of Madrid, Spain on December 10th, each holding a dead animal. Big ups to the Spanish. Well...now that we know that "chickens have empathy" as well as "mice have empathy" (look it up - proven, courtesy of "science"), I guess we humans can move on to growing a pair, say, like, Nathan Runkle who was a GAY 15 YEAR OLD when he founded MERCY FOR ANIMALS. MFA recently exposed the most awful abuse by the Butterball Turkey Co (look it up, if you have the stomach). MFA has the balls to claim responsibility for exposing such things, rather than remaining anonymous, even with the draconian laws on the books (ie: AETA). (FBI assholes want to categorize "Food Activists" as Terrists.) Nathan had the shit beat out of him 3 years ago outside a gay club in NYC - for being 'gay'. Just sayin' - for all you who are still homophobic, and worried about the 'gay agenda'. He's 10 times the man you are.

Walter Bond

Maybe read this interview by a compassionate, empathetic gentleman who's now on his way to Federal Prison for 12 years & 3 months, WALTER BOND: AR Prisoner Support Interview, July 2011. This is the 'other end' of the spectrum of work on behalf of sentients. I personally have no problem with embracing the whole spectrum. Tell me this man's words represents "insanity".
It's all par for the course, this newly ramped-up centuries old war on Gaia and her warriors. Latest Wikileaks exposes some of the recent (2011) U.S. Espionage on Indigenous Peoples world wide.

2011 saw the highest increase of Elephant Poaching in decades - 2,500 at last count. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the end of civilization. Clif High says after March 10 of this year, the Wetiko program will lose control. Setting the captives free should be first on our agenda, should something so fortunate occur.
Jane Goodall's "Roots & Shoots" programs have done wondrous things for getting kids and adults involved in creating solutions to hundreds of human vs. environment conflicts around the world. AR and ALF/ELF activists have put the fear of god into the conscience-less elite Wetikos and their life-hating minions. Awakening still proceeds, even at this late date, as the false "reality" crumbles around us for all to see. While the Japan government has imprisoned one of the Cove Guardians, Sea Shepherd has acquired drones and have located the Japanese whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean Sanctuary. We all fit into the 'spectrum' somewhere, and we are the ones with imagination.
