More Ecstatic Sufi Soul

  Vaisnava Meets Sufi, Akbar Looks On (source)

Well,...snow on the mountaintops on June 20! 

A good friend just turned me on to this channel and group [links below]. A music studio in Pakistan, sponsored by Coke (yes, that one!), that's producing video and audio of some of the finest contemporary South Asian musicians. What I hear is some of the best collaborations and arrangements of Eastern and Western music out there today - to me, a perfect balance of virtuosity and instrumentation from both sides. And I mean really "out there", in the highest sense, in particular Sufi soul music and poetry.
Go to COKE STUDIO HOMEPAGE or COKE STUDIO YOUTUBE CHANNEL to listen and/or view many extraordinary sessions. I am posting just three examples, two by the legendary Abida Parveen, and one by Saieen Zahoor. [That's all I could manage to load today, due to being on dial-up.]

I can't think of much to say these days on a mundane or spiritual level, concentrating more on the musical side of things and other non-verbal expressions (with humans and animals), because that's what does it for me, especially in these hard times. And hard times is what's goin' down in Pakistan and the whole of South Asia. I can't think of anything better to do here than spreading the awesome sacred music of the people of these lands. They are all Love Tribe, and my heart goes out to them as they have given me the greatest joys of my sojourn on this Earth. The YouTube comments also clearly express the brotherhood and mutual respect between the varied cultures in this part of the world, contrary to media lies.


[translation]
O my Master
When the invisible revealed himself
He changed his name from Ahad (the One) to Ahmad (the commendable Prophet)
By illuminating this world and the world after
Bahu, who was hidden, also came forth
Allah, My Master
My Beloved has come to my abode
(And when he revealed Himself), my heart could hear the din even within
The one who is unaware is equal to one who is a non-believer
My spiritual guide taught me this
My eyes opened from devotion
I have betrothed my life to Him
I have devoted my life to him
I earned such love
That I realized what death is even before dying
And so discovered the eternal truth
My Beloved has come to my abode
(And when he revealed Himself), my heart could hear the din even within
My Protector…
Ali…
Ghous and Qutab would not come to the levels set
But lovers go beyond that
The levels that lovers reach
Ghaus is unaware of those
Divine lovers remain in unification
For they reside every where yet nowhere
I can sacrifice myself for those
Those who in His proximity
My Beloved has come to my abode
(And when he revealed Himself), my heart could hear the din even within
When I was me, I couldn’t see Him inside
Now that He is apparent, I can no longer see myself anywhere
When that veil of darkness was lifted
There was no need to light a lamp
My Beloved has come to my abode...
I am a puppet, the strings in my Beloved’s hands
I dance in a trance for my love, the way my Beloved wishes
My Beloved has come to my abode...
Bullah, He came and gave me hope
My Protector
Ali


[translation]
You read to become all knowledgeable
But you never read yourself
You run to enter your mosques and temples
But you never entered your own heart
Everyday you fight Satan
But you never fight your own Ego
Bulleh Shah you try grabbing that which is in the sky
But you never get hold of what sits inside yourself
Stop it all my friend
Stop seeking all this knowledge my friend
Only an Alif is what you need
God is Greatness, God is All
I shall follow the Jogi (ascetic/Sufi)
Those who deny the strength of Truth
God does not give them courage
We have drowned in the river of Self
The boat and the flowing waters do not matter


[translation]
O my creator… my lord…
I am famous for my affair with Him
(For that love) infinite sorrows and pain have been repressed
Give me the potion that you gave to Shibli and Mansoor
So that I (Baidam) am also intoxicated by this wine
I am famous for my affair with Him
The tradition of loving God is unique indeed
He who loved God the most, could never be idle again
I am free, I am shelter-less
Wherever I am, I am the whole universe
And though God has no abode but his creation’s heart
All I want to know is that where do I reside?
The sky and earth, and everything in between, cannot contain your being
It is only my heart where you can reside
But where God lives, I am just a speckle there
For him who wants to have a presence, it’s only dust (ash) at his threshold, which can have alms

Grandpa's Catfood Vouchers

Señor Coyote made his appearance in the afternoon in the back yard recently, and the tribe has been serenading the full moon for a while now every evening. We're relieved, and as well for the City council endorsing the state-wide initiative against all trapping on public lands. The fight will be uphill with the psycho bitch governor and her minions, I'm sure, but the vote was unanimous and there's some big name backers on board.

I'm pretty sure the Paul Watson video (Whale Warrior) I posted recently has been pulled. It probably violated copyright codes, in which case I would maybe have to side with Capt. Watson or the producers if it was posted against their wishes. I however do feel it is such an important film, that it wouldn't hurt to have as many views ASAP. I would suggest looking for screenings in your area. Maybe the DVD is for sale?

I bring it up from having had the opportunity to view all 7 parts eventually later, and what I came away most moved by is the answer Capt. Watson  gave to an interviewer onboard at sea to a question about his values and mission:

"It's dangerous & humiliating. The whalers killed whales while green peace watched. Now, you don't walk by a child that is being abused, you don't walk by a kitten that is being kicked to death and do nothing. So I find it abhorrent to sit there and watch a whale being slaughtered and do nothing but "bear witness" as they call it. I think it was best illustrated a few years ago, the contradictions that we have, when a ranger in Zimbabwe shot and killed a poacher that was about to kill a black rhinoceros and uh human rights groups around the world said "how dare you take a human life to protect an animal?" I think the rangers' answer to that really illustrated a hypocrisy. He said "Ya know, if I lived in, If I was a police officer in Harrari and a man ran out of Bark Place Bank with a bag of money and I shot him in the head in front of everybody and killed him, you'd pin a medal on me and call me a national hero. Why is that bag of paper more valued than the future heritage of this nation?"
This is our values. WE fight, WE kill, WE risk our lives for things we believe in... Imagine going into Mecca, walk up to the black stone and spit on it. See how far you get. You’re not going to get very far. You’re going to be torn to pieces. Walk into Jerusalem, walk up to that wailing wall with a pick axe, start whacking away. See how far you’re going to get, somebody is going to put a bullet in your back. And everybody will say you deserved it. Walk into the Vatican with a hammer, start smashing a few statues. See how far you’re going to get. Not very far. But each and every day, ya know, people go into the most beautiful, most profoundly sacred cathedrals of this planet, the rainforests of the Amazonia, the redwood forests of California, the rainforests of Indonesia, and totally desecrate & destroy these cathedrals with bulldozers, chainsaws and how do we respond to that? Oh, we write a few letters and protest; we dress up in animal costumes with picket signs and jump up and down; but if the rainforests of Amazonia and redwoods of California, were as, or had as much value to us as a chunk of old meteorite in Mecca, a decrepit old wall in Jerusalem or a piece of old marble in the Vatican, we would literally rip those pieces of shit limb from limb for the act of blasphemy that they’re committing but we won’t do that because nature is an abstraction, wilderness is an abstraction. It has no value in our anthropocentric world where the only thing we value is that which is created by humans."

I don't know if that's the entire exact quote - I got it off 'wikiquote' - the video is now scrubbed. I think he had the word 'genocide' in there somewhere too....and something about 65 million years' worth of extinction in last 60 years....oh yeah, and about those wacky Chinese and their obsession with consuming powdered penises of most of the endangered animal bredren on the planet.
Now there's a problem for the brilliant Asian scientific minds to occupy their "research" time on and sink their teeth into! Especially after the HUMAN BREAST MILK breakthrough/success (from cloned cows) - almost ready for the supermarket shelves. As did the New Zealander geniuses btw (from cloned goats). Year two thousand and eleven in the Kaliyuga, and Koreans still eatin' dogs ('sexual prowess' or somethin-er-other) as they crank out those Hyundais, Samsungs, and all the other assorted plastic crap for the dumbass 'merkins.  
Dogs. Well, a Jewish Israhelli court ordered the stoning of a dog charged with trespassing (in the courthouse) while embodying the spirit of a formerly expelled judge who had been cursed by associates to transmigrate into that form.... 

Getting burnt out on the unveiling yet? Could we have made this shit up? Did we? Back in those bad acid days?
No more ethnic studies in that shitty little state of Arizona's schools. Them and Colorado and Texas...WTF is up with these assholes surrounding us in the Southwest? Oh, right, we are too...more new fires today, south of Tucson, while we ponder their genius cutting of forest-fire budgets for 2011.
This just in: Jesus is gettin' real pissed that we haven't used up the planet  yet, so the flock needs to get busy [busier?]. Nope. Didn't make it up. Came out of a politician's bum-hole.....As "turey" quoted the Jamaican saying, "di higher di monkey climb, di more him batty show". Ok, you can call it 'apocalyptic'. I don't care anymore. Laughing so's you don't cry is the current mantra.
Uh huh, they want to make more "reforms"....SoylentGreen Inc. will just send grandpa his monthly allotment of coupons for chemical food-like substances and a KingKitty FancyFeast variety-12-pack. Food Stamps: too inefficient, sorry.
The whole food thing is so fucked. Because of the win-win floods [to the extinctionists] on our biggest river systems, we have the corn price doubling from last year's....nice, huh? AND...GMO seeds just a'washing on down South with the currents. It's only half begun....Can't....find.....words....anymore.
Must be some way outta here [said the joker to the thief, too much confusion, can't get no relief, etc etc]

Back in the 'hood....we passed the "Snake Capture-and-Release" course last week. Safely moved two rattlesnakes into and out of a container. Just needed to focus on the reptilian world for a time, while I continue with the bird-world explorations. [guess it's a Shaivite thing (grin)] Many endangered harmless snakes around, and cops have a habit of pulling their guns when called on a snake situation. Or the locals just assume they're all 'possessed' creatures, and grab the nearest weapon. The teacher has done hundreds of snake relocations, as well as managed snakes for the film industry. I'll have to get me some kevlar or plastic chaps ("gators"), then be on call if needed. I got plenty respect for serpent power and the danger involved, but feel comfortable in the endeavor. There was that year in Delhi when I passed some daily quality time with the snake clan family set up in front of Humayun's Tomb in Nizamuddin. Those guys grabbed wild cobras out of old rock walls, with their bare hands, to add to their show. That shit's multigenerational, of course. Here we use long tools/hooks.

Hubble "Owl Goddess"

 
Good sessions with new Owl friend, we'll have our second outing next week with kids. We're both getting more relaxed with each other, or at least he's accepting that he's assigned to 'school' me and he's stuck with the situation.  He is "getting up" on my hand and letting me tie the jesses without too much resistance. But definitely making me do MY half of the 'work'.

Lying Down For Justice: The POSCO Satyagraha in Pictures

This is just more ongoing attempts at environmental and cultural destruction insanity in India in the State of Orissa. A steel corporation from Korea is basically GIVEN tribal agricultural land to plunder; goddamn people in the way, bring in the army (India's "Green War"), people decide on satyagraha move to lay down on the ground surrounding village with CHILDREN AND WOMEN bravely taking to the front lines. See for yourself.

India is also just going through a scandal involving the arrest of a famous yoga guru for fasting against the national mafiacracy-cum-govt corruption, the arrest viewed by tens of thousands. The Oriya kids' satyagraha was also all over newspapers and teevee. Impossible to hide anymore, eh?

Did I mention I despise slimy rich Indians? All fanatics, Ram/Krishna-capitalism or whatever...is their excuse. They hate their tribal past, but love their SUVs and 'mobiles'. 

Offended? It's not personal. We're equal opportunity haters here - of all slimy rich morons and planet-rape-enablers. 





Have to end this with a word from writer/researcher/blogger A.Peasant - 
"this is a guerrilla war
we are the guerrillas.
our terrain is the emotional world.
our language is love.
they don't know our terrain.
they don't speak our language.
and we greatly outnumber them.
draw them out and pick them off.
your weapon is the truth.
use it."

Killing Innocence - The Wetiko Obsession

Shiva Family by Kailash Raj, from exoticindia.com

The thoroughly sickening situation regarding kids in our Wetiko-infested world has been brought up in dramatic fashion in recent days, both in S&MSM and in the blogosphere, with articles describing the prison-model school environments and the almost uncountable abuse scandals involving those self-imagined "elites" of the corporate and political spheres, and their massive support-systems of minions. I hesitate to use the word 'abuse', because it comes nowhere close to the actuality of what is and has been for decades and even centuries taking place in the rarified worlds of 'our lords and masters'. We also don't really know where to draw the line that separates the 'minions' and the majority of the human race as it exists today in all of the so-called 'civilized' countries, including amerika, europe, and many places in the middle-east. Almost everyone has a bloody hand in this despicable business, just by participating in the great lies of human 'culture', political, social, financial, and religious. What the 'elites' do filters right on down to our very neighborhoods and cities, and touches all our lives, and is an intricate part of everything that goes on culturally all around us all day every day.

There truly is a War On Kids taking place. It is a subset of the universal War On Life, which prominently features an ongoing War On The Feminine, from girl-child to Mother Earth and everything between. It's also astonishing how many elite, or elite-wanna-be, female-gendered human imposters participate in this abomination. The bitch whore Clinton, like her bitch whore predecessor, continues to express how "unfortunate" and "regrettable" child- and women-deaths in Afghanistan are. Maybe the 'liberals' express it more often, while the 'conservatives' merely growl and mumble something about 'law of the jungle' and 'freedom isn't free', but it's all meaningless posing for their fellow demons and the fellating media gentlemen and ladies of the dark. And everyone who watches, listens, believes, and takes seriously the monstrous cover-illusion being propagated is equally responsible and damned. All mouthpieces who espouse these overwhelming current trends of disenfranchising women and children already on the edge of survival, in the media, the legislatures, and corporate offices need to have their identities recorded and ultimately taken out back and.....well, whatever seems appropriate. Timing is of the essence.
There is a new film on the festival circuit entitled "THE WAR ON KIDS". A trailer and more info is up on the website. Haven't seen it yet, but reckon it's sufficiently horrific.

How in freakin hell, I'm just asking, can something like what we're living in - this race toward total omnicide on all fronts, especially targeting women and children - possibly be believed to be simply arising out of a mutational freak of 'human nature', when we certainly know within ourselves that nothing of the kind of psychosis exhibited existed in our Divine Self at the time of our birth, nor did it apparently exist at any significant level in societies 5000 years previous. Something deeply 'other' has infected and effectively destroyed the 'humanity' - the interconnected human being - of most of the species. The Gnostic and the Vedic and the Indigenous traditions all can lead us to personally and collectively discovering the origins of the world-destroying plague - termed 'demigods' by some, Wetikos by others, but as to a remedy we seem to be left with only self-discovery by whatever means we can muster to re-connect with higher levels of Spirit, including ancestral, Devic, angelic, avataric allies, animal familiars, and such; and if we are graced with karmic fortune, a connection to a living realized being(s) present today in our midst. Basically, all this just leads to a deeper awareness of our own mortality, and the impermanence of all things, as well as the placement of the unborn/undying Self at the center of creation. But we have some inborn sense that Life in this dimension is meant to continue, that youth and innocence are to be treasured and protected, and we carry a debt to those who, in the time of our own innocence, nurtured and bestowed upon us the gifts of overstanding and necessary skills to pass on faithfully like we been told...

The demons apparently figured out a while ago that targeting innocence for destruction is guaranteed to create mass insanity in any species.
In my small world I see astonishingly advanced children almost daily, kids with remarkable abilities in creativity, mental acuity, healing abilities, and general spiritual awareness. I have to conclude that this is also the case in every village and urban environment in the world. I also see them being ruined by unimaginably powerful and numerous forces loose in their wonder-full worlds. The emotions generated sometimes make me unable to breathe while I witness or hear of the amount of senseless abuse going on around where I am (and around the world). And even in our small town the headlines read: "Teachers to be laid off", while millions of scarce dollars are used to build 1) a "judicial complex" [read: huge jail, more cops, more psycho judges]; and 2) a "sports complex/'eco-park'" [to attract more mafioso 'sports' franchises to attract more asinine patrons to the infestation of casinos littering our Rio Grande valley]. Meanwhile the epidemic of child-abuse, battered women, and incest proceeds unabated. I won't even get into the habitat destruction involved in these insane projects....

I have to re-quote blogger A. Peasant here, because I've never found a more perfect statement on the overall world situation with respect to our children, and the shared sentiments of many of us as parents and grandparents -
"The harm to children reverberates in the space that connects the society of normal people. It rips a hole in that divine space of creativity, of spirit, of love that normal people all share in their natural empathy which the media constantly tries to beat out of us with their steady stream of desensitizing violence and porn. And it hurts. You don't have to know the people to feel their pain. You can imagine it. You can empathize, you understand. Words are not necessary when you can feel these things, and it's normal to feel these things. It's universal. It's totally normal to want to rip somebody's jugular out with your bare hands if they hurt a child. That's normal. People don't need to apologize for those feelings, those raw instincts. It helps us survive. Even wild animals like elephants instinctively put their young in the middle of a circle when predators approach. So what is to apologize for? Are we not also created with everything necessary for survival, plus more? Damn straight. We're supposed to be this way, we were made this way and don't let anyone tell you otherwise."

So the word is that the new mutant bio-weapon combinate strain of e-coli in Europe TARGETS WOMEN, especially of child-bearing age. Is it all obvious enough yet?
Even better, it has been reported (in the f#%$& INDIA press!, later in UK and various alt. health sites) that in a Canada study of PREGNANT WOMEN living on a diet of GMO shit (yer basic 'supermarket' fare: GM soy, corn, potato), 93% were found to have the insecticidal protein from the "Bt" Mon-satan-o 'engineered' product IN THEIR BLOOD AND IN THEIR UMBILICAL CORDS, so it is clearly mutating the genetics of all future generations. A total Monsanto round-up needs to commence immediately. And world-wide.

Does anyone else find it interesting that ALL the non-human species

The Gentle Barn calf rescue

exhibit, on close observation, what we consider and understand to be the absolute essence of INNOCENCE? We have become an infected and toxic species imbedded within a natural Matrix of thousands of species hardwired to act in ways that preserve balance. The programming has attempted, and mostly succeeded, to entirely delete any consideration of balance, any hesitation to interfere with natural orders, any conscience to question any manner of manipulation of our environment and others who inhabit it, to enshrine our supposed "specialness" and "superiority" above all things of this world. The INNOCENCE, if noticed at all, is to be quickly dismissed from our minds.

That's how we get examples of heartless behavior like the ones previously exposed here last month and last year regarding the severe abuse of calves on 'dairy farms' (Conklin) in Ohio and (E6) in Texas. The ALF-type actions of the group MERCY FOR ANIMALS revealed what many of us have known goes on in "concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs)" in the horrific videos released and posted here.
Well, in the latter case, I am happy to report that felony animal cruelty charges have been leveled against the owner and a number of employees in the "E6" Texass case. Furthermore, an organization called THE GENTLE BARN, based in CA,  recently covertly visited with the MFA infiltrator and managed to video the rescue of four chosen calves from the Texass operation. Sure, a drop in the bucket, but the symbology of this action is incredibly inspiring. The Gentle Barn sanctuary's particular focus is the use of all their formerly severely abused animals to assist in the rehabilitation of SEVERELY ABUSED CHILDREN. Many of the children are so traumatized that they cannot express their own painful inner world, but they are able to comprehend and relate to the animals' histories including their newfound freedom, joy, and healing. This has proven to have profound affects on the children's own ability to open and heal, as you might expect. I don't know, but this is an awfully bitchen phenomenon, having huge implications, in my view. A great example of 'right livelihood' and right use of an acquired environment/property.

As the director notes, "dairy farming [in today's world] = veal". That's the simple, stark reality. I have limited my personal dairy consumption to organic cheeses and half-and-half in coffee for last 30+ years. Too much time in India, intimately knowing my revered neighborhood cows, necessity of ghee for Ayurvedic health, [and possibly too many previous Indian lifetimes,] for me to give it up and go completely vegan. The height of sweetness is having the neighborhood cows drop by for a visit and a treat. Matter of fact, 9 cows and a calf just visited here as I took a break from writing this to finish the Cancer Moon plantings in the yard. Just a coincidence, I'm sure. They came by yesterday for the first time as I began this post in a bovine-loving state of mind.

Here's an ALF tribute video out of Spain that I recently came across, with excellent music to accompany the message. (Lyrics translated) [If you don't know the story of "Britches", HERE is the definitive video.]


Turning away from the 'paths'/wetikos, into sanity: Recommending an outstanding article authored by Prahlad Shekhawat entitled SUFISM TO COUNTER FUNDAMENTALISM over at countercurrents.org, an excellent source for all things South Asian.

"The great Mughal emperor Akbar was a keen follower of Khwaza Moinuddin and made annual pilgrimages to his tomb in Ajmer, India. He married a Hindu princess, gave her due respect and her son inherited the throne. He was fond of organizing Sufi dances and musical concerts. His empire extended from Kabul to parts of Burma....Akbar, although a devout Muslim evolved a composite multi-culture and encouraged rational enquiry and inter-faith dialogue to promote understanding and social harmony. Akbar founded a new all faith forum called 'Dine Ilahi' where scholars and spiritual leaders from all faiths were invited to dialogue and learn from each other’s point of view. In his autobiography, Akbar Namah, he affirmed: 'The various religious communities are treasures entrusted to us by God. We must love them as such. It must be our firm faith that He blesses every religion. The Eternal King showers his favors on all men without distinction'."

Just Following Her Orders

Goddess Bhairavi - exoticindia.com

There has been recent discussions and observations about unusual and changing animal behaviors being noted by many. Blogs including the Dog Park and others, along with their commenting crews have been bringing the subject up for a few years now, but it appears to be on the increase....and possibly the diminished reticence to share experiences with others could be a factor. Of course all sane beings (including those who have recently regained sanity) are fully aware of the blindness programming we have been subjected to regarding how we look at animals of other species. So there is no longer, in our times, much real observation going on anyway; nor is there much of a consciousness of what other life forms are, in a real sense; and what their lives mean; and what are the levels of communication and interaction from their side toward and in response to our presence and actions....especially thoughts and vibrations.
 
Yesterday's medicine-teaching came from a sparrow. The male cat here, Gustavo (shelter name, but fits), has pretty much learned that we appreciate his hunting prowess, but prefer he brings his prey to us unharmed. He tries to adhere to the rules and mostly succeeds many many times. Night before last he brings a sparrow, I take her from him, put her in a box to observe her condition. After some time and the cat is in for the night, I release the bird out back.
Next morning Gustavo goes out and promptly returns at 9 am with either the same sparrow or another one. Cat knows the drill. We (the astrologer and me) put the bird in the box. Half hour later the bird, a bit ragged, wants out, flies around the room, and after a bit of a chase with a towel gets to fly off from up the hill on the BLM land.
We go to town, throw down some riddems for some decent bhajans and chants at the local thoroughly disfunctional tirtha scene, do trash run, minimal consumerism, socializing, cruise back up the mountain, more digging and planting, cooking, dining, and going out for a smoke on the porch. All of a sudden, at sunset, the sparrow appears flying inside the porch, landing on the railing 3 ft. away, moves closer onto a honeysuckle branch, stares at us for 5 minutes, then finally flies right past our faces out into the valley. The only birds that ever come on the porch are the hummers at their feeders, and the odd stray magpie looking for cat/dog food. That communication was one of those obvious ones.
 
The day before had a florescent yellow finch on a tree out the back window staring for 5 or more minutes at us, finally lightly hitting the window flying up to get closer. He wasn't disturbed and lit on another branch and continued to talk and sing. And in the evening a huge turkey vulture almost flew in the open window of my car on the dirt road. I had to jerk my head away. Feathers beating on one's cheek and flying at you with enough speed can do some damage. Vultures are a bit uncoordinated at low altitudes, though, and I think it was a friendly darshan, since I have made an acquaintance with another vulture recently and speak to him regularly. He's spectacular, and quite charming in a Kali-yuga kind of way.

Da man Dublin put up some great stuff recently coming from the Mayan Elders. Among the important messages were three things noted that would be good to do right now: It's an important task for us to see the energy, in people, plants, and animals (if we're not already doing it, I guess); follow a tradition with great roots (ditto); and "you are not here for no reason".
Word. That's about the size of it. Mayan brothers got their shit together.
Everybody goes round and round about this politician and that politician, this ism or that ism, all the stuff that's divisive and irrelevant. Its always only been about freedom or slavery. 'Free markets', 'international law', 'democratic institutions' - so much crap. We're gonna make it through this Purification Time only if we have the correct focus generally happening within us most of the time. We can't expect ourselves to be perfect, but we can still be impeccable in our imperfection. No one and nothing can "fix it", it's up to the Love Tribe to be walkin' in beauty and holdin' the vibe - of fearless natural mystic wisdom - holding close our allies/associates, and banishing/sending along our ghosts [ed: most people on the planet nowadays have tons of 'em, as Martin Prechtel and others have been expressing for years]. "None but ourselves can free our minds". Yeah, casting off those self-limitations that still obstruct our effectiveness of unification. Or is it I-nification?

I admit I have, still, a bit of a problem with my Mars-Uranus/N.Node square, and it draws me into wanting to re-boot some old siddhis of spiritual warfare down there somewhere in the DNA memory and aim and fire the bones and stones at the designated targets. When the best young bro in your life languishes in evil shitstem bureaucracy, shackled on orders from Wetiko clan reptile characters of the Attorney-General's fantasy-meme-driven minion bitches - you kinda get into that 'desperado' thing, and it is a very old program. But, then again, that 'dropping into the Irie vibration' is an ancient program too, fortunately. It's helpful for everyone to get a glimpse of actions taken by fellow Love-Tribe senior warriors from time to time in these times. Cynthia McKinney comes to mind. Winona LaDuke, Vandana Shiva, and our man Capt. Watson. A film has been out a couple years, still playing festivals, based on the life of Paul Watson, called Whale Warrior - Pirate For The Sea. Fortunately the ENTIRE FILM IS ON YOUTUBE in 7 parts. Incredible and astonishing. [And I've only watched the first 3 parts.]

Watson was asked about 'religion' and 'divine law'. He replied that he has no use for any of it. He says he follows the four main Laws of Earth: diversity, interdependency, finite resources, and "don't shit in the water hole". Sounds like a 'tradition with great roots' to me, coming from a man with a full range of deep feelings as well as an extremely sharp intellect. A lotta light coming from the ether around the dude.
Do you know, I mean really know, about the ILLEGAL chemicals that your brain produces? Did you know that they are both INSIDE and OUTSIDE of you? Would knowing that alter your attitude toward ALLOWING others their absolute freedom? Capt. Watson also noted that "NATURE ALLOWS FULLEST INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSION". Huh? Imagine that!

After a one-year, million-dollar sting investigation in Pennsylvania, the Feds just recently busted an evil AMISH RAW MILK RING! Horrors! Crossed state lines, you see. It's what they do, the Wetiko paths....Nature allows....
And the Pope just said that all the pedophilia and shit was "because of the hippies in the '60s". Bet you didn't know that, either.
Ah, the blessings of 'religion' and 'law'. Someone called it recently, "the plague of self-interest". It also shows the almost nonexistent level of Archon/Wetiko 'creativity', but then that's apparent everywhere you look in the ' civilized world'. Makes me anxious, but then I've been anxious all my life; but I DO think about those siddhis again for a moment....
Don Juan Matus said, "By playing on our self-reflection, which is the only point of awareness left to us, the predators create flares of awareness that they proceed to consume in a ruthless, predatory fashion. They give us inane problems that force those flares of awareness to rise, and in this manner they keep us alive in order for them to be fed with the energetic flare of our pseudo concerns. What I'm saying is that what we have against us is not a simple predator. It is very smart, and organized. It follows a methodical system TO RENDER US USELESS".

Somebody brought this song/poem, from a couple decades back, to my attention [time sure does pass slowly]:
If A Tree Falls, by Bruce Cockburn -

Rain forest
Mist and mystery
Teeming green
Green brain facing labotomy
Climate control centre for the world
Ancient cord of coexistence
Hacked by parasitic greedhead scam -
From Sarawak to Amazonas
Costa Rica to mangy B.C. hills -
Cortege rhythm of falling timber.

What kind of currency grows in these new deserts,
These brand new flood plains?

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?
Anybody hear the forest fall?
.......
Through thinning ozone,
Waves fall on wrinkled earth -
Gravity, light, ancient refuse of stars,
Speak of a drowning -
But this, this is something other.
Busy monster eats dark holes in the spirit world
Where wild things have to go
To disappear
Forever

If a tree falls in the forest does anybody hear?

Anybody hear the forest fall?

I just spent three days of 14 hours on the clock working as an 'extra' on a major film shoot down in the big city a couple hours from here. Work, eat, sleep; no time to check on the world outside. I had been runnin' outta gas money to keep up the weekly volunteer commitment, so Maa/Jah provide. I came away very impressed with the focus, professionalism, and clean high energy of the whole crew of 50 plus 50 local extras. I estimate about 50% fully awake to what time it is, so I was very surprised in my outing into the Matrix. Don't think I'll make a habit of it, though. I have an idea of what the purpose of it all was, besides the financial part. Some connections, karmic or otherwise, were very apparent. About what we are doing, we don't know shit. It's nice to be able to just follow Her divine orders.

Scanning the Linguistic Symbols of Karmic Floodwaters Rising

Goyathlay/"Geronimo"

I noticed that just before they reached into the ol' memory-hole to pull out their poster-boy icon of false-flagsterism, we had a surprise walk-on cameo of the "girl in the polka-dot dress" (not to be confused with the "girl in the red dress" of Matrix fame). Actually, if you consider the contexts and implications, they could be seen as similar products of modern interdimensional technologies. But that's another subject, and contemplating it makes me want to drink and pass out, so not going there. Come to think about it, any more than a few minutes of thinking about any little piece of the Matrix goings-on currently is bound to make me feel like I just made my weekly sale to the blood-bank and seeing 'tomorrow' as only a possibility. But I'm not that guy any more, livin' on the city streets, observing the isolation in all directions. I live in 'beautiful fucking paradise', hurriedly trying to get some crops in since the last freeze and snow, so I'm fast losing time and interest in so many of the sordid details. But things just pop up on the box or in the marketplace to grab my attention. 'Polka-dot dress' is that type of thing. It kinda sums up and evokes a whole time and a level of awareness that we carry and hold from an experience we've lived through.

Three other words/phrases also caught my attention: 'Navy [trained] SEALS', 'veal parmesan', and of course 'Geronimo'.
Seals are 'things' that need to become fashion/ego-power/prestige objects [trophies] in the world-view of the planet-backwards-death-cult tribe, so they have promoted the slaughtering of millions of them for centuries. Therefore, naturally one would use the name 'seals' for 'professional hit men'. Makes sense, right? Name the 'weapons' after the defeated 'enemy'.
Veal parmesan is what Jack-the Ripper-Peace-Laureate had for lunch with the firemen on whatever-the-hell that 9/11 'memorial' thing was. I'm sure it was 'pasture-raised', or at least had a heating blanket in the crate. "Likes to consume torture."

Geronimo [actually Goyathlay, and he had a wife and child] is tops in the category of pre-eminent legendary bogey-men in 'merkin history. And, naturally the 'legend' is back-assward. What more do we need to know? Not that 'they' would know who he really was, or the amount of reverence, respect, and admiration for the man that pours today from millions of people around the world. [I think I'll wear the 'homeland security' tee-shirt for the next few days - its dark turquoise.] Another asinine miscalculation in bringing up and invoking the name of this truly historical being at this time, when karma is blatantly obvious, collectively and personally and near-instant, and the reaping can be endlessly pointed out. Are they fucking stupid or what (heh)?

And it's all about 'Indian Country'. Its always been about 'Indian Country'. You get that, right? The name Geronimo tends to make the (sane) mind recall things like 'genocide', 'slavery', 'imprisonment and torture', and all in relation to our precious little 'merkin zionazi mafiacracy psy-op experiment of a 'civilization'. Shall I pour that drink now?

Hey, you don't think there's a connection between the 35+ Pilot Whales slaughtered last week in Taiji, Japan - and the 16+ Pilot Whales that beached in Florida, do you? Oh, god, only the mind of a disturbed moron would make a connection-leap like that... Anyway, the Japan govt gave the soulless fake 'fishermen' permission (and gas money?) to go out banging again. Seems they 'helped tsunami victims with their boats', so they get a little reward in the form of infanticide, matricide, and patricide - not their own, of course, but perped on others' families - just to add to the insult to marine life from what's spewing out up north.  Gee, I wonder if there's any of that 'karma' stuff involved here? I don't know, just sayin'....I really don't make any claim of knowing how that shit works. Florida thing is probably just caused by 'algae' too, nothing to see here.

If I was god, I think I'd gather up all the world's 'energy czars', CEOs, minions, engineers, enthusiasts, and their bent-over politicians, from Cheney on down, and send them all to Ukraine. Sentence them all to life-long 24/7 latrine duty in the Chernobl childrens' institutions. I took the time to see the photos. Brains in membranes outside the heads, no thyroid systems...you don't even want to know...what's coming, blowin' in the wind, heading straight to everywhere Life is. And all the ranking military and war-profiteers could have the same employment in places like Fallujah and Sarajevo. I've got a plan to 'create jobs'....
Seriously though, I want to urge people, if they are at all able to stand one more hit of wetiko-reality, to see a new movie 'starring' Dickhead Cheney. It is called 'Gasland'. It's fantastic, and it's also one of the most horrific documentaries ever made. When I say DC is the 'star', I mean it. You're really gonna wish his location wasn't "undisclosed'. Ah, fantasies, fantasies. You see, "energy task force" (back in 2000) actually meant 'passing out environmental exemptions' all around like candy at Halloween, and it creates this wonderful decade-long "boom" in ecocide and genocide futures.  Everything connects. I know, it's nauseating.
Oh yeah, and Spike Lee's newest film, If God Is Willing, and Da Creek Don't Rise, a four-hour documentary on New Orleans 5 years on, including an exclusive interview with "Brownie".

Over at the Dog Park there was mention of something I emailed around yesterday - the ongoing story of peoples' revolt unfolding in Mongolia, their last straw being the destruction of their RIVERS [sound familiar?]. See in the video below the inspiring 'grand entry' of the nomad tribespeople into Ulan-Bator's main square.
Seems India, France, Russia, and Japan are all having their 'energy czars' sexually aroused by the rate of high desert grassland environmental destruction they are affecting through uranium mining. It's a regular orgy of depravity. But it's exactly what is planned here on the opposite side of the world for the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River system and everything downstream. Holy crap! I was in Flagstaff in '82 [eighty-fucking-two!] and United Nuclear Corporation was doing power-point presentation at the Hyatt on how responsible they would be if we would just let them mine on the banks of the Canyon. Their CEO regrettably died the next day I heard...but that's a story for another time. Others have kept up the fight since. Certain 'energy' companies are lobbying like crazy today to do exactly that. The Grand F'ing Canyon! Those days I had just come from spending a month doing grunt work for the Navajo grandmothers on Big Mountain in the far reaches of the rez. I came with a certain attitude into that inevitable PR disaster that night.


But, back to the Mongolians. All the mainstream articles in the world said Mongolia's problem was "overgrazing". OMG! Hmmm....I remember that being the "problem" with the Navajo grandmothers - "overgrazing" with their sheep. That's why they needed to be fenced-out of their own land by the Feds, f.b.i. and all. And, of course, the source of the famous [fake, ass-pulled] "Navajo-Hopi land dispute". Everything remains the same today, by the way, at the Big Mountain Survival Camp 29 years later. Those damn 'Indian Country' problems never seem to go away.

There's not a square inch on Earth, a traditional tribe or clan, unworthy of Wetiko-ized attention. After centuries of slavery, genocide, and ecocide there's somehow a few thousand natives left on Rapa-Nui ('Easter Island'), the most isolated place on Earth, "owned" for 140+ years by Chile with it's population in concentration camps for 100+ years. Almost all that time, a "scientific" myth has been propagated by all Western wetiko academics (including that racist, narcissistic freak, Thor Heyerdahl) about how the Rapa-Nui people "committed ecological suicide" and "cannibalism". All complete bullshit. We know very well who the perpetrators were. Pretty slick, this constant blaming the extinct for their extinction. The natural world has just never bowed quickly enough to its dominionist overlords. That's the problem. It's probably the salmon's fault too. Anyway, the people of Rapa-Nui had it up to here with the $800/night room, $50 million hotel and 'eco-resort' scene, and have been rising up since last winter. Read a good account HERE and many other places. Chilean 'real estate' and 'investment' magnates, the Schiess family 'owns', via Augusto Pinoshit, the 'resort' in question. Their recent 'generous' offer to 'donate' the clan land to the people - in 30 years - was responded to with metaphorical spit.

Ah well, I guess there's been a few stories this week that grabbed my attention enough to piss me off, as well as illustrate the tenacity of some peoples to pursue Life, truth, freedom, and self-determination. That too is happening increasingly in every corner of Mother Earth. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the receiving end of the immanent wetiko karma zeroing in on the candidates for the newly arranged hell-planet waiting for them on that far-away galaxy.

Exquisite Fearless Love

Just to point out what the possibilities were/are on the New Earth Love Planet....if we get 'there'.
What we are/have been talkin' about,.....and including the techno gadgets we seem to love....like video cameras and deep-sea exploration gear and other cool stuff...which maybe are just transitional toys, like training wheels.

Staying Human On the Hell Tour

Random rantings and ramblings, in a certain mood.....

I honestly don't know how many of us are left here on Planet Wetiko. I see millions of humanoid bodies out there walking and talking like they're for real, but most days when I circle up with the brethren and sistren I see that there's a clear distinction between those who express true humanness in speech and action and resonance, and those who look and act basically like automatons. The latter, though they say the right words to make one think they are participating in 'normality', actually make me feel like I'm watching a pre-scripted cartoon of something that just resembles some past memory of what life here once was, before the death of the earth-as-we-knew-it began. Whereas, when I'm in sane human company, the energy and the words and the emotional undercurrent are consistent with the reality of the time and terrifying situation which exists and is undeniable to anyone half awake. Business goes on as usual, the consumption of pure shit in the forms of 'food', sound-bites, useless trivial pursuits and death-culture-sourced items continues unabated, even accelerated. It's why I stay close to the farm.
I'm suffering from compassion-fatigue for the masses who can't find the strength to acknowledge the vibrations of the ghastly horrors occurring hourly and coursing through their nadis and meridians on a never-before-experienced level. Thresholds of unspeakable blasphemy are crossed every day and obliterated for eternity - far surpassing even the worst travesties committed over thousands of years of inhuman insanity toward the Life Matrix in which we are embedded. Wetiko-psychopaths of every 'race', in every land, in every level of society, boldly go where even demons formerly feared to tread. They are being told their demonic lords and saviors are even now visible on the horizon. The greater the horrific depraved blasphemies they commit, the greater will be their glory in the coming reign of the soulless overlords.

"Leaders", from neighborhoods to empires, in our "civilized" world, all exhibit the symptoms of wetiko disease and malignant narcissism. Wetiko disease is a syndrome. It has as many manifestations as there are individuals. It is not a 'black and white' disease like leprosy or the plague. It grows organically advancing and retreating with each psychological decision made by individuals maturing through time making choices on a daily basis, either accepting or rejecting self-destructive attitudes and propaganda/brainwashing, till it reaches the stage of metastasis and effectively rules the organism. 
Too many people who act/speak outwardly 'humanitarian' and 'progressive', espousing the 'social contract', and yet privately are known by their children to never express parental love nor hugs nor tenderness. These are the "liberal" posers, often mere opportunistic empty suits, oblivious to their own hypocrisy in daily consumption practices. They are infected as surely as are the fascist 'true believers' of racist, militarist, religious fanaticism. Keeping the disease hidden. This is why, in one sense, the 'liberal-conservative' 'culture-war' is a bogus divide-and-conquer scam. 

But, on the other hand, there's those clear memories of the 60s, where neighbors told me that their "kid will kill your kind someday" for protesting Vietnam, where former high school teachers spit in my face while blockading the induction center, where I was condemned for playing "commie, nigger-loving rock and roll".  The conservative fundamentalist forces. Is there a difference between the conservative mentality and the Wetiko disease?  Conserving...what? SELF-INTEREST, SEPARATION, BLINDNESS, IGNORANCE, SELF-HATE, AND LOVE-OF-DEATH AND THE GLORY OF PILLAGE AND RAPE? Life is dog-eat-dog, law of the jungle, look out for number one, blah blah... Snickering at the trophy-hunting in national parks and in Iraq. Whining about school lunches + spotted owls = national debt.  A case in point: the Wolf Controversy. "States' rights" vs "big govt"? A state is a state is a state. Never mind ecological awareness and biological facts on the ground like this: The Yellowstone Success Story and Those Who Want to Kill It

 Fundamentalism is fundamental to what, on a spiritual or temporal level? Who the fuck knows where these words come from? Reverse-Robin Hooding, 'varmint' extermination, drug-wars, dead-zone business models, carcinogenic happy meals, extinction economics, the list is endless. Repeating "the list is endless" is endless. The awful tide sweeping the planet is one of so-called "god-fearing", white-knuckle-death-gripping, fundamentalist, relatedness-denying insanity from every religion and political belief-system, reacting in spasmodic explosions to the clear impossibility of maintaining the denial of the self-created cosmic abomination unfolding before our eyes. Politicians and voting will surely fix it.


For those few of us left with strong spiritual immunity against wetiko, fast approaching terminal information overload, I think pro-active shunning is perhaps most called-for, along with critical discernment, natch. As far as the shunning goes, there should be NO MERCY given to the ID'd perps. That was always the way 'social deviants' were dealt with in indigenous societies - shunning and banishment.


Latest example from recent days of the wetiko fundamentalist plague is the torture and execution of the beautiful Italian brother Vittorio Arrigoni [pictured at top], the "stay human" guy, in Gaza, vilified in perfectly classic wetiko fashion by the zionazis. Whether his murder was the result of fundies of the "monotheism and holy war" jihadists or a mossad covert-op, both conservative fundamentalists, we regrettably 'may never know'. What we do know is that a new threshold has been crossed, and also that "Vik" was a true human being and shining example of wetiko-free selfless service to the Most High. No words are sufficient to express the tragedy of the senseless taking of this brother's life. May his soul rest in peace and receive the many prayers sent from around the world from all peace-and-Life-loving resistors of evil occupiers and down-pressers.

A warning comes via the Sea Shepherds that the infamous "Grind" - massive dolphin slaughter - has begun, or will soon, in the Faroe Islands (between Denmark and Iceland). SSCS will attempt to obstruct/prevent this atrocity with unprecedented direct action this summer, by land, sea, and air (balloons?). This is another example of a completely wetiko-ised society. Obviously, sometimes something more than shunning is called for. Contact Prime Minister Johannesen at info@tinganes.fo, or Fisheries Minister Jacob Vestergaard at fisk@fisk.fo.

Descending on this Earth Day into the absolute depths of hellish moronic depravity we visited the E6 Cattle Co.'s 10,000-head "dairy farm" in Hart, TX. [806-647-3744]
Last year's Ohio "dairy farm" abuse video from Mercy For Animals was extreme, but this one lowers the subterranean bar. (Is there any possible reason on earth to have 10,000-head dairy farms?) I'm not embedding this video.
Posted Thursday, this video, entitled NO MERCY, from MFA, reveals these "workers" "humanely euthanizing" calves with pick-axes and claw hammers. If you have nerves of steel, be prepared to scream and weep, or just skip to the music vids below.

I have to bring some serious joy, reflection, and positive vibes in; so these are some soul-healing moments from better days...
