This is my intro post, and I am delighted to finally embrace all that Steemit embodies, because I can now wholeheartedly leave behind FBI book…a freedom lover’s dream come true! I will only post there once in a blue moon with important messages. From now on, my posting will be to benefit the Steemit community!
I based my intro on the excellent tips posted by Guillaume Cardinal, also known as “teamsteem”, because I really liked his post on how to introduce yourself. (See https://steemit.com/almost-famous/@teamsteem/hello-steemit-coinmaketcap-com-introduced-me)
My name is Caroline Amrita: free thinker, lover of health, truth and freedom. Blockchain believer. Poet. I am an expatriated American living in Ecuador, hoping to possibly move to Acapulco in the coming year, so I can be nearer other anarcho-voluntaryists, and people who think more like me…those that believe in ecstatic rapture of everything which comes from creating a free world -- like so many of the awesome people here!
I love to marvel in the infinitude. In sublimity and quiet observance of the Universal Creative Intelligence. I believe in Love. Of all. :) I know that I AM cosmic stardust and multi-versal pure love. There is only the Creator of ALL, and natural universal laws are the only real laws. I am an eternal being here to learn necessary lessons, and to assist all other souls to find their true path back into the light. When you know yourself and the truth, the truth will set you free - John 8:32 (But be warned--first it will really piss you off, then you will be sad for a long while, until finally, you wake up and realize that truth (and love) are the only things that DO free you! We innately know the truth, though you have to have an open third eye, heart, soul and the will to see! Religion is man-made and generally not of the truth, or the light. The light and truth disperses the darkness and the lies, as it always has, and always will, throughout history and time.
Regarding politics, I am bored and thoroughly disgusted by thug politicians and the criminal, war-mongering, neo-babylonian fear tactics of all governments (who isn’t?) I do not consent to anyone representing me. I am a supporter of no political party, as all are corrupt on some level. I am completely pro-life (though it is not my place to judge anyone who believes otherwise -- we all choose to endure our own belief lessons), pro-self (everyone takes complete responsibility for your own life and actions -- with the exception of the disabled, young and elderly people who need help), pro-sovereignty, and pro-independence for ALL people and countries. No one has a right to say how anyone should live! I favor no government, or at the worst, a small, local government with as much non-interference as possible, and living in an anti-globalist world. I believe we can have a working, sound and fair free world charter. I strictly oppose "special" rights for bankers and treating corporations as a person, and the constantly increasing expansion of unlawful police laws, and governmental foreign "aid" and military interventionism (both of which only serve to enrich the military industrial complex and other greed-directed entities.) We all know by now that the world banking and monetary system must be changed. We need a world that operates and exists without debt or soul slavery to governments, royalty, banks, religions, corporations, or any other middlemen. Thank goodness for the timely creation of decentralizing blockchain and cryptocurrencies!
Concerning less "heavier" things, besides being an activist for truth, I am a vegetarian, and I have been a student of natural health since my first nutrition class back in '81. I love to travel and I am looking forward to doing more traveling of the world with my kids, both for fun and the beauty and wonder of it, but also so my children can be exposed to all the citizens and places of the world in order to develop better understanding and compassion for humanity and global issues. I hope to build a self-sufficient, green home, and an eco-friendly business. Someday, I hope to be able to help all other less fortunate people (especially children and animals) whatever way we can and whenever we can.
Overall, I feel very blessed, especially since the day the Universe decided to give me the opportunity to be a parent. Children are the absolute best gift anyone could ever receive, and they've made me realize what is important in life! Before life with my children, it seemed that life was just a series of events, and I am so thankful to be able to see what a full life can be! Although there are an infinite number of reasons life is wonderful (and it will be my goal to do whatever I can to be of service to others and make this world a better place), my children are the reason I was born, and the ultimate reason I will accomplish all of the things I do. Even with all of life's daily ups and downs, there isn't another place I'd rather be, or another life I'd rather be living. I'm so grateful for every day, from the daily little (and occasionally big) moments. Gratitude and service to others is the way to happiness!

If you took the time to read this far, I will say thank you so much, now, because below is a very long list of quotes and lyrics I love, but I would not expect everyone to have to wade through those unless you really have a love for quotes, or poetry, like I do. Namaste, and good tidings as we venture forward into this brave new world together! Cheers!
Some of My Favorite Quotes/Lyrics:
“I am not the cause, nor the effect. I am not the doer, nor the deed. I am not the body, this mind, nor the thoughts. I am joy, I exist everywhere, I am space, I am bliss. I am what I am, eternally. I am source, I am the creator.” - Adi Shankara
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" - Jesus Christ
“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches (in excess), give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body.” - Walt Whitman
“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” - Socrates
"Let noble thoughts come to me from the whole world" – The Rig Veda
"Love is beauty and beauty is truth, and that is why in the beauty of a flower we can see the truth of the universe." - unknown
"You control our world. You’ve poisoned the air we breathe, contaminated the water we drink, and copyrighted the food we eat. We fight in your wars, die for your causes, and sacrifice our freedoms to protect you. You’ve liquidated our savings, destroyed our middle class, and used our tax dollars to bailout your unending greed. We are slaves to your corporations, zombies to your airwaves, servants to your decadence. You’ve stolen our elections, assassinated our leaders, and abolished our basic rights as human beings. You own our property, shipped away our jobs, and shredded our unions. You’ve profited off of disaster, destabilized our currencies, and raised our cost of living. You’ve monopolized our freedom, stripped away our education, and have almost extinguished our flame. We are hit… we are bleeding… but we ain’t got time to bleed. We will bring the giants to their knees and you will witness our revolution!
Sincerely,
The Serfs (by Jesse Ventura)

“Sweet Sunshower”
Dark as roses and fine as sand
Feel your healing and your sting again
Hear you laughing and my soul is saved
On forgotten graves you cry
Crawl like ivy up my spine
Through my nerves and into my eyes
Cuts like anguish or recollections
Of better days gone by
But it's all right
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh it's all right
When you find you way
Then you see it disappear
Oh it's all right
Though your garden's gray
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
Oh oh in a sweet sunshower
In a sweet sunshower
Eyes like oceans so far away
A feather trail to a better way
Worried mornings turn into days
Then into worried nights
But it's all right
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh it's all right
When you find you way
Then you see it disappear
It's all right
Though your garden's gray
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
Oh oh in a sweet sunshower
Oh in a sweet sunshower
In the sweet sunshower
In the sweet
Sweet
Sweet
Sunshower
Oh oh oh
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In the sweet
In the sweet sunshower
And it’s all right
All you'll be you are today
Are today
It’s all right
All you'll be you are today
Are today x 5
Are today ~ Chris Cornell
"Wayseer's Manifesto"
Attention all you rule-breakers, you misfits and troublemakers - all you free spirits and pioneers - all you visionaries and non-conformists ...
Everything that the establishment has told you is wrong with you - is actually what's right with you.
You see things others don't. You are hardwired to change the world. Unlike 9 out of 10 people - your mind is irrepressible - and this threatens authority. You were born to be a revolutionary.
You can't stand rules because in your heart you know there's a better way.
You have strengths dangerous to the establishment - and it wants them eliminated, so your whole life you've been told your strengths were weaknesses - Now I'm telling you otherwise.
Your impulsivity is a gift - impulses are your key to the miraculous,
Your distractibility - is an artifact of your inspired creativity,
Your mood swings - reflect the natural pulse of life, they give you unstoppable energy when you're high and deep soulful insight when you're low,
Been diagnosed with a "disorder"? That's society's latest way to deny its own illness by pointing the finger at you. Your addictive personality is just a symptom of your vast underused capacity for heroic, creative expression and spiritual connection. your utter lack of repression, your wide eyed idealism, your unmitigated open mind - didn't anyone ever tell you?! these are the traits shared by the greatest pioneers and visionaries and innovators, revolutionaries, procrastinators and drama queens, activists on the social scene, space cadets and mavericks, philosophers and derelicts, business suits flying fighter jets, football stars and sex addicts, celebrities with ADD, alcoholics who seek novelty, first responders - prophets and saints, mystics and change agents.
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all affected by the way -
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all attracted to the flame -
You know in your heart that there's a natural order to life,
something more sovereign than any man-made rules or laws could ever express.
This natural order is called "the Way."
The Way is the eternal substrate of the cosmos. It guides the very current of time and space. The Way is known by some as the Will of God, Divine Providence, the Holy Spirit, the implicate order, the Tao, reverse-entropy, life-force, but for now we'll simply call it "the Way." The Way is reflected in you as the source of your inspiration, the source of your passions, your wisdom, your enthusiasm, your intuition, your spiritual fire - love. The Way takes the chaos out of the Universe and breathes life into it by reflecting divine order. The Way, when experienced by the mind, is genius, when perceived through the eyes is beauty, when felt with the senses is grace, when allowed into the heart ... is love.
Most people cannot sense the Way directly. ... But then there are the Wayseers. The keepers of the flame. Wayseers have an unexplainable knack for just knowing the Way. They sense it in their very being. They can't tell you why or how they arrived at the right answer. They just know it in their core. They can't show their work. So, don't ask. Their minds simply resonate with the Way. When the Way is present, so are they.
While others are blind to it, and society begs you to ignore it, "the Way" stirs you inside. Neurological repression blocks most people's awareness of the Way - censoring all thoughts and impulses from the unconscious is their prefrontal cortex - the gestapo of the brain - nothing which violates its socialized programming even gets through; but your mind is different. your mind has been cracked wide open to the Way - by some miraculous genetic trait, some psychotropic chemical or maybe even by the will of your very soul, your brain's reward pathways have been hijacked - dopamine employed to overthrow the fascist dictatorship of your prefrontal cortex - now your brain is free of repression, your mind free of censorship, your awareness exposed to the turbulent seas of the unconscious - through this open doorway divine light shines into your consciousness showing you the Way. This is what makes you a Wayseer.
Ninety percent of human civilization is populated with those who's brains are blocked to the Way. Their brains are hardwired to enforce the social programming indoctrinated since birth. Unlike you they cannot break out of this programming, because they have not yet experienced the necessary revolution of mind. These programmed people take social institutions and rules very seriously. Society is full of games programmed to keep peoples' minds occupied so they will not revolt. These games often cause sick fixations on peculiar protocols, power structures, taboos and domination - all subtle forms of human bondage - This distinct form of madness is not only tolerated by the masses but insisted upon. The programmed ones believe in rules so forcefully they become willing to destroy anyone who violates them.
Wayseers are the ones who call their bluff. Since Wayseer minds are free to reject social programming, Wayseers readily see social institutions for what they are - imaginary games. Wayseers comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. Helping those who are lost in these games and refuse to help themselves is a calling of many Wayseers. Since Wayseers are the ones who keep contact with the original source of reality - they are able to disrupt societal conventions and even governments to realign humanity with the Way.
The Wayseers are an ancient lineage. A kind of priesthood - carriers of the flame - ones "in the know." There must always be Wayseers to reform the dizzying psychotic spinning gears of society - giant mindless hamster wheels obscuring the pure blue sky, keeping humanity shackled in a darkened cage - so Wayseers are called - to shed light on the madness of society - to continually resurrect the timeless transcendent Spirit of Truth -
Wayseers reveal this divine truth by devoting themselves to the birth of some creative or disruptive act expressed through art or philosophy, innovations to shake up industry, revolutions for democracy, coups that topple hypocrisy, movements of solidarity, changes that leave a legacy, rebellions against policy, spirit infused technology, moments of clarity, things that challenge barbarity, watersheds of sincerity, momentous drives for charity
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all affected by the way -
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all attracted to the flame -
This is your calling, Wayseer.
You've found your tribe.
Welcome home. ~ Garret John LaPorto
"I Hope You Dance"
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder—
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger!
May you never take one single breath for granted.
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed.
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean.
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens.
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance!
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance--
I hope you dance, I hope you dance!
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance.
Never settle for the path of least resistance!
Living might mean taking chances--
But they're worth taking.
Lovin' might be a mistake--
But it's worth making.
Don't let some hell-bent heart
Leave you bitter.
When you come close to selling out,
Reconsider!
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance.
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance--
I hope you dance,
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance,
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance,
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance!
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean.
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens.
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance!
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance--
Dance!
I hope you dance, I hope you dance! ~ Lee Ann Womack
