i'm watching Yellowstone. It's very good.
Currently in S3E10 a corporaton is attempting to acquire some land to build an airport and a city around it. A Native American lawyer is advising her Native American client. i thought this quote worth sharing:
They make their rules to be broken.
The United States has broken every rule it has ever made.
From it first treaty with France to every treaty with us (Native Americans), to their last treaty with Iran.
They only hold others to their rules.
They make war when they want, where they want, they take what they want, then they make rules to keep you from taking it back.
They make rules for the slave and they make rules for the masters.
You're following the slave rules.
In my opinion, the United Snakes Government & all the other corrupt governments, corporations etc. will continue to do their dirty deeds, increasing the enslavement of the population, until We The People choose to create & use Community Governance Systems which enable us to assemble anonymously and come to consensuses in which every person who wishes to take part is able to have his/her opinions heard & taken account of. There is a blueprint for such a system (with a way of dealing with bots & socks) which could empower the people so we can govern ourselves. This has potential be so powerful that the corrupt organisations will fall into disuse.
i am seeking help to get the system i speak of off the ground.
Any takers? Please ask questions. gets 5% of author rewards to redistribute to comments (which i vote upon).
On another, albeit related subject, yesterday i applied to join a 10 day Vipassana #meditation course in #Bulgaria, completing some detailed questions so they can decide whether or not i can attend. Today i received a reply asking me to answer some more questions. Here are some of them:
Other Health Issues
Have you had any other significant health issue?
No
How often do you see your doctor or therapist for any of your health issues?
I have not seen a Doctor for about 20 years, with exception for a hearing test.
Alcohol or drug use
What is your present use of alcohol (how much and how often, over the last six months)?
I guess on average I drink a maximum of 1 glass of wine per week.
Have you taken drugs or other mind-altering substances in the last two years (such as amphetamines, ayahuasca, cannabis, cocaine, heroin, LSD, psilocybin)?
Yes
Please list the substances you have taken
Present use (how much and how often)
Past use (when, how much and how often)
Please provide details of any treatment for addiction
The Presence Process Procedure, a 10 week self facilitated emotional integration procedure, which I have repeated several times over the last 10 years.
General
How are you managing in your work, studies and other responsibilities?
Very well, although I am retired so don't have many responsibilities. I grow food and take care of the garden.
Do you have any difficulties sleeping?
No
Is there anything else you would like the teacher to know?
I feel emotionally quite well balanced. Fairly content with life. i think and feel i know (to some extent) who or what I am, and i observe my "little self" doing what he does/and do my best not to judge him, but to love him as he is.
I do have some desires, in particular a desire to implement a particular "people powered decentralised community governance protocol (Free & Open Source - FOSS), which can be used by very large groups of people with a common purpose (a Cause Group) to much more easily be able to reach consensus's in which every person has been able to speak and have their opinions considered. I have a strong conviction that this system can help we the people to organise ourselves very well and thus be able to solve many many local and world issues, eventually leading to the defunding and demise of corrupt governments, which will no longer be required.
Another desire is to create a "Conscious Living Community" where I live in nature, a space for some residents and to offer holistic healing retreats for guests (and work-exchange volunteers - many of which I have been receiving for many years, mostly via https://www.workaway.info/) including meditation courses.
I would probably create a Bulgarian Non-Profit Foundation. I currently have 3 spare bedrooms and three more being converted, a "Temple" for meditation & yoga virtually finished, plus another property with space for maybe another 10 bedrooms.
So one reason for me wanting to attend a Vipassana course is to help me be more present and to have more clarity and therefore likely more able to attract others to help me fulfill these desires.
With regard to this "I have answered all questions honestly and completely and have not withheld any information.", Over the last 19 years, since i became aware i was on an awakening journey, there are so many " self-help" course, books etc. I have taken and read, and so many "healing therapies " (many extended water fasts, many silent retreats, yoga teacher training, etc.) i would need to write a book to include even half of them.
Hopefully they will accept me. It's gonna be tough. I added up the time of the daily meditations - it's 10.75 hours per day! In previous silent meditations retreat i've done it's been about 6-7 hours per day, so this will definitely be a challenge for me.
Wish me luck :-)
