INKY, THE HALLOWE'EN CAT, MEMORIAL in Studio/Office

~ THE SIGN OF INKY: A REVERSAL OF FINANCIAL IMPROVIDENCE~

May 15, 1974 - May 15, 2019

Ever since my personal dream of establishing an intentional community in the woods of Central Maine collapsed along with my unfinished camp in the Town of Stetson, this endeavor was lost until I came to live at Sirius Community in September of 2015 as a participant in the Immersion Program. I left my home in New Bedford, Massachusetts & Susan (my wife of almost 30 years) to resume pursuit of “Life in the Woods” like unto Henry David Thoreau. Our two children, Mary & David, were grown with lives of their own to live - she in Boylston, MA near Worcester while he moved out of state to Crossville, TN. In September of 2016 we amicably divorced, walking into the Courthouse together after a quick breakfast, untying the knot of our union (she with counsel and I pro se), then went out for lunch in the Historic District of “The Whaling City.”

Sirius Community was founded in 1978 by Gordon Davidson & Corinne McLaughlin, the same year I erected the 24’ x 36’ wood frame camp in Stetson. Both of them were former members of the Findhorn Community in Scotland. A year later Bruce Davidson, Gordon’s younger brother, & his significant other Linda Reimer, came to Sirius in Shutesbury, Massachusetts to help build the Eco-village where I began exploring membership in 2015. I started this process by renting a room in the Hearthstone Village at a nearby house owned by a local musician. I walked up Baker Road for Saturday “Joyful Productivity” work circles, followed by a lunch cooked in their vegetarian kitchen and clean-up duties. I gravitated toward the Hobart mechanical dishwashing machine that I already knew how to operate from previous experience on Nantucket Island and in Bar Harbor, Maine.

On July 1st, 2016 I joined the residential program as I continued to explore membership at the Community for much of the next year. I lived in what was called “The Connecting Space” as it used to be a play yard for two families living in The Lighthouse and Kailasa at the time. It was made into a studio apartment, which became “My Space” for the next 4 years. I also knew it as “Hermitage of the 9th Archetype,” because my oversoul is represented by the Hermit card that appears in many Tarot decks, including the Universal Rider-Waite Tarot: my preference during metaphysical interpretation sessions with clients.

Stability in my life was up-ended February 26-27, 2019 when I moved hastily from “My Space” into an upstairs room with two male roommates at the Community Center. Saturday, was the weekly “Joyful Productivity” work circle from 9 AM - 1 PM (with a call put out to all who joined the circle to help move me into the East Wing Apartment). Several people came & moved all belongings, after packing them in boxes, and placed them into my new space which was a bit smaller & required use of the loft ladder for ac   cess. Loft in the Connecting Space was only for storage (plus a guest on Futon mattress who never came back to use it, after I failed to make room for her to sleep up there & asked her to leave in the middle of a cold dark night). When everything was moved by lunch time my room was a chaotic jumble that took weeks for me to organize. Eventually, I had it livable and figured out how to navigate through storage boxes to locate anything I needed. I was not destined to remain at the Community Center for very long because change was in the wind for me and I would soon be on the road.

During my stable period in the Connecting Space, I participated in a private online members group & connected with a woman near my age who lived in the “Sooner State" of Oklahoma named Patricia. We were corresponding occasionally, via Zoom during private member calls, but our relationship “ramped up,” when her house went up for sale, was emptied (movers were carpetbaggers, to say the least) and then sold. She temporarily relocated to rural Arkansas. The experience she had living there “bottomed out” on December 24, 2018 when a relative in Tulsa scooped her up from there and let her live in his home, with all ten of her animals: 6 dogs & 4 cats! I was “pinged” when this woman sent me an emergency message that she was booted from this private members group. I inquired about why she was kicked out, but the answer that I received was, “She knows why. She just isn’t telling you.” This Facebook Messenger chat became daily for us, many times with cameras rolling, so it was only a matter of time before we fell in love online. I lived to see her green eyes & beautiful smile on camera beneath her fiery red hair, though artificially colored now. By April 5, 2019 I made a conscious decision to meet Patricia in density & board a bus from Springfield, Massachusetts directly to Tulsa. My friend Geni drove me to the bus station downtown where my journey from the state that has served me as home, for the most part, since I originally stuck out my thumb to hitchhike across the country from California, the state where I was born & raised, to “seek my fortune” on May 10, 1971. I was ready to begin a new adventure when I decided to board that Greyhound Bus that would bring me to meet my newfound love interest.

May 15, 2019 is Patricia’s birthday. I AM sitting in the gazebo at the Riverview RV Park in Sand Springs, Oklahoma as a black cat appeared from behind parked cars, moving left, then crossing behind a bulldozer at a construction site for the new Community Center, before reappearing on the other side of it. This date, back in 1974, was the date when my “Hallowe'en Cat” (Inky) disappeared outside of my cottage on Nantucket Island, where I was living with my first wife at the time. Patricia is the key, through synchronicity of her birthday in 2019, showing me an involuntary “Curse of Improvidence,” which had sent me financially down the drain in 1974, is removed by Mother-Father God. I received the “Sign of Inky” to seal this truth as fact. The curse is GONE!                                                                   

Patricia Vallee, a.k.a. Amber Moksha Majjama passed away on July 15th, 2019 in Colorado Springs, CO. after we traveled cross-country in her Chevy Silverado truck pulling a blue and white retro-style travel trailer she called her caravan, as she considered herself a modern-day Gypsy. Starting this trip in Sand Springs, Oklahoma we traversed over 700 miles to arrive at the base of Pike's Peak in Colorado Springs where she connected with her long-lost daughter Kristina, and her husband John. Then they put me onto a Greyhound Bus to California where I shared lunch with my brother Howard and sister Laura before returning to Sirius Community in Shutesbury, MA to collect my belongings and settle in Crossville, TN where I live in an apartment downtown. Today is the 4th Sign of Inky I have received since she vanished outside my rented cottage on the island of Nantucket. First sign came when I lived in the Connecting Space at Sirius; 2nd sign came while in Oklahoma with Amber at the River View RV Park; 3rd sign was between the two apartment buildings where I live presently in Crossville. TN. Today, a 4th sign appeared when I observed a black cat crossing in front of my building. I know, for sure, that Inky is watching over me from the other side of the veil...

An Insider's Take: Why the Federal Reserve is Bad for America...

A Federal Reserve insider pulls back the curtain on the secretive institution that controls America’s economy

After correctly predicting the housing crash of 2008 and quitting her high-ranking Wall Street job, Danielle DiMartino Booth was surprised to find herself recruited as an analyst at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, one of the regional centers of our complicated and widely misunderstood Federal Reserve System. She was shocked to discover just how much tunnel vision, arrogance, liberal dogma, and abuse of power drove the core policies of the Fed.

DiMartino Booth found a cabal of unelected academics who made decisions without the slightest understanding of the real world, just a slavish devo­tion to their theoretical models. Over the next nine years, she and her boss, Richard Fisher, tried to speak up about the dangers of Fed policies such as quanti­tative easing and deeply depressed interest rates. But as she puts it, “In a world rendered unsafe by banks that were too big to fail, we came to understand that the Fed was simply too big to fight.”

Now DiMartino Booth explains what really happened to our economy after the fateful date of December 8, 2008, when the Federal Open Market Committee approved a grand and unprecedented ex­periment: lowering interest rates to zero and flooding America with easy money. As she feared, millions of individuals, small businesses, and major corporations made rational choices that didn’t line up with the Fed’s “wealth effect” models. The result: eight years and counting of a sluggish “recovery” that barely feels like a recovery at all.

While easy money has kept Wall Street and the wealthy afloat and thriving, Main Street isn’t doing so well. Nearly half of men eighteen to thirty-four live with their parents, the highest level since the end of the Great Depression. Incomes are barely increasing for anyone not in the top ten percent of earners. And for those approaching or already in retirement, extremely low interest rates have caused their savings to stagnate. Millions have been left vulnerable and afraid.
Perhaps worst of all, when the next financial crisis arrives, the Fed will have no tools left for managing the panic that ensues. And then what?
DiMartino Booth pulls no punches in this exposé of the officials who run the Fed and the toxic culture they created. She blends her firsthand experiences with what she’s learned from dozens of high-powered market players, reams of financial data, and Fed docu­ments such as transcripts of FOMC meetings.

Whether you’ve been suspicious of the Fed for decades or barely know anything about it, as DiMartino Booth writes, “Every American must understand this extraordinarily powerful institution and how it affects his or her everyday life, and fight back.”

ARE WE ALL READY FOR MANIFESTING A NEW EARTH?

EARTH DAY IN 1970: BIRTH OF THE GREEN MOVEMENT

3-Day Livestream celebrates 50th Anniversary of Earth Day!

Earth Day 1970

President Richard Nixon and First Lady Pat Nixon plant a tree on the White House South Lawn to recognize the first Earth Day.

The first Earth Day celebrations took place in two thousand colleges and universities, roughly ten thousand primary and secondary schools, and hundreds of communities across the United States. More importantly, it "brought 20 million Americans out into the spring sunshine for peaceful demonstrations in favor of environmental reform." It now is observed in 192 countries, and coordinated by the nonprofit Earth Day Network, chaired by the first Earth Day 1970 organizer Denis Hayes, according to whom Earth Day is now "the largest secular holiday in the world, celebrated by more than a billion people every year." Walt Kelly created an anti-pollution poster featuring his comic strip character Pogo with the quotation "We have met the enemy and he is us" to promote the 1970 Earth Day. Environmental groups have sought to make Earth Day into a day of action to change human behavior and provoke policy changes.

New York City

In the winter of 1969–1970, a group of students met at Columbia University to hear Denis Hayes talk about his plans for Earth Day. Among the group were Fred Kent, Pete Grannis, and Kristin and William Hubbard. This group agreed to head up the New York City activities within the national movement. Fred Kent took the lead in renting an office and recruiting volunteers. "The big break came when Mayor Lindsay agreed to shut down Fifth Avenue for the event. A giant cheer went up in the office on that day," according to Kristin Hubbard (now Kristin Alexandre). 'From that time on we used Mayor Lindsay's offices and even his staff. I was Speaker Coordinator but had tremendous help from Lindsay staffer Judith Crichton."

In addition to shutting down Fifth Avenue, Mayor John Lindsay made Central Park available for Earth Day. In Union Square, New York Times estimated crowds of up to 20,000 people at any given time and, perhaps, more than 100,000 over the course of the day. Since Manhattan was also the home of NBC, CBS, ABC, The New York Times, Time, and Newsweek, it provided the best possible anchor for national coverage from their reporters throughout the country.

Philadelphia

U.S. Senator Edmund Muskie was the keynote speaker on Earth Day in Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. Other notable attendees included consumer protection activist and presidential candidate Ralph Nader; Landscape Architect Ian McHarg; Nobel prize-winning Harvard Biochemist, George Wald; U.S. Senate Minority Leader, Hugh Scott; and poet, Allen Ginsberg.

Earth Day Live

Earth Day Live is a three-day livestream commemorating the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. The event will streamed online as part of efforts to promote social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is being referred to as the largest online mass mobilization in history.

Planning

The event will be run from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET on April 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. Event is organized by youth climate activists, and will feature Joaquin Phoenix, Moby, Patricia Arquette, Jane Fonda, Robby Romero, Al Gore, Stacey Abrams in conversation with Climate change activists, scientists, and journalists. The event will also feature performances from musicians such as Jason Mraz, Angélique Kidjo, Emily Wells, Aimee Mann, Ted Leo, Jack Johnson, Questlove, Talib Kweli, among others.

Themes & Goals

Future Coalition executive director Katie Eder, who heads up the nine youth-led organizations that are coordinating the event, says that Earth Day activism had to be rethought due to technological advances in modern times.

“It’s a time to really rethink our strategy, we are really looking at this as a way to reimagine what a social movement can look like in a digital age.” said Katie Eder.

The event focusses not only on climate change and environment like the traditional Earth Day, but also on society's ability to combat the effects of climate change, such as the COVID-19 Epidemic.

“It’s not just about the environment and the climate,” “It’s also about building a society and an economy that’s going to take care of the people who’ve been affected by this crisis, the people who are on the front lines of this crisis, whether that’s through health care efforts or economic efforts.” said Naina Agrawal-Hardin,vement, one of nine youth led organizations organizing the event.

Live Feed of Three-Day Earth Day Live events in the United States celebrating 50th Anniversary of the Green Movement's birth (on April 22, 1970). I was a Sophomore attending the University of California at Irvine, majoring in Theatre Arts, with an emphasis on Scenic Design and Technical Direction and celebrated the first Earth Day on campus there. This event was a catalyst for interest in The Mother Earth News (founded by John & Jane Shuttleworth in Hendersonville, NC) and how to build Earth-sheltered homes, install wind generators, mount rooftop solar panels, install heat pumps, etc. This was inspiration for design and construction of an 18" x 24" wood-frame cabin in the woods of central Maine during the fall of 1978. ~ Joseph David Henry Ware Bryan-Royster ~ Lantern of the Hermit ~

The Vision for Decentralist Coalition of Independent Candidates!

Present Two-Party System of governance in the United States of America was never intended by Framers of the 1789 Constitution. George Washington, war hero of the American Revolution, was acclaimed the first President of newly independent Republic forged from thirteen independent British colonies. Political Parties were never intended by the founders, as the division between Tories and Whigs in Great Britain was fresh in the minds of Americans who did not desire partisan factions to take root, yet seeds of this grew from wrangling by the colonists at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. Federalist and Anti-Federalist camps had emerged.

By the time Washington ran for a second term, two political parties were evident: The Federalists who supported 1789 Constitution and the Republicans, later Democratic-Republicans, and eventually Democrats After the Election of 1820, the Federalist Party collapsed and void was eventually filled by Andrew Jackson and the modern Democratic Party was formed. American Whigs briefly provided opposition until Abraham Lincoln led modern Republican Party to victory in the Election of 1860.

Following four bloody years of Civil War with southern states that seceded from the Union as the result of Lincoln'winning that election and formation of Confederate States of America, the industrial North prevailed over the agricultural South and slavery of African Americans ended there. Then the ghost of servitude rose in the form of segregation to keep white supremacy alive in the former Confederacy well into the 1960s via, so called, "Jim Crow" laws.

Following four bloody years of Civil War with southern states that seceded from the Union as the result of Lincoln'winning that election and formation of Confederate States of America, the industrial North prevailed over the agricultural South and slavery of African Americans ended there. Then the ghost of servitude rose in the form of segregation to keep white supremacy alive in the former Confederacy well into the 1960s, triggering the Civil Rights movement that followed.

General prosperity created as result of the World War II build-up continued through the 1950s and into the 1960s. The Summer of Love and the Flower Children, otherwise known as Hippies, gave this economic growth a conscience, emerging on April 22, 1970 with a first "Earth Day" celebration and birth of the environmental awareness, or "Green" movement in America.

Prosperity continued through the 1970s until early 1980s when Reaganomics changed flow of capital investment to gravitate upward toward the proverbial 1% at the top of financial wealth building pyramids, triggering the Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 and placing focus upon on the 99%, who ended up left out of this equation. It culminated with the Occupy National Gathering in Philadelphia; June 30th to July 4th, 2012. This was sapped by organizational repression by the financial elite class via "cantonization" of demonstrations and placing them away from  media scrutiny in out-of-the-way locations, such as Franklin Park near 6th Street rather than Independence Mall as originally intended.

Months of planning for a massive presence in the "City of Brotherly Love" over the Independence Day Weekend were thwarted by the "powers that be," via re-direction of protesters to a nearby city park that never filled to capacity due to energy dissipating as a result of the venue change. Before this alteration of plans, the National Gathering organizing committee were looking at an alternate site in nearby Valley Forge, Pennsylvania to hold it. Large-scale demonstrations against U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, such as the May Day march on Washington, DC were not viable anymore, thanks to police repression tactics put into place afterward.

The Citizens United U.S. Supreme Court decision of 2010 opened the floodgates of bottomless corporate political campaign contributions, whereas only the top 1% could afford to sway Elections in this country. The Inter-corporate state had taken virtual control, fueled by influence of Wall Street investors. Once the modern Republican Party led by the maverick candidacy of Donald J Trump took control of the Executive branch, while retaining the Senate with Mitch McConnell as "gatekeeper" stopping Democratic sponsored legislation from moving to the floor for a vote, nothing progressive was able to be passed into law on the Federal level.

Radical intervention by the people, individually and collectively, is necessary to reverse this upward movement of financial resources into pockets of the already wealthy billionaire class in this country. Artificial Personhood of corporations must be abolished. People are persons, and should be recognized in Law. Associations or organizations of people are groups and do not have collective "rights" that are protected under the 1st Amendment to the Constitution.

Now, it is up to the People of this great Republic to be heard at the grass-roots level in every city, town, and county via local elections. Referendum petitions need to be initiated everywhere that call for decentralization in all forums of political expression, and environmental justice be included in this. Extraction of fossil fuels has to cease, clear-cutting of tropical rain forests must end, and clean energy solutions, such as solar and wind power require promotion on an unprecedented scale if there is to be any hope to reverse the disastrous effects of global climate change.

Political cooperation by all candidates running for office, in the United States and in other countries, is essential if humanity expects to turn the tide, to prevent an extinction level event in the near future on this planet. The time is NOW for formation of a Decentralist Coalition of Independent Candidates!

BERNIE SANDERS DROPS OUT OF PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

BERNIE SANDERS DROPS OUT OF THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL RACE!

WILL JOE BIDEN BE THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE IN MILWAUKEE?

Sen. Bernie Sanders dropped out of the Democratic presidential race today, paving the way for former Vice President Joe Biden to win the 2020 nomination. Sanders was unable to build on his early momentum in the race after wins in New Hampshire and Nevada as well as virtual tie in Iowa, going on to lose a string of states to Biden after the former vice president consolidated the support of moderate Democrats. The departure marks Sanders's second failed attempt at the Democratic nomination after he came up short in his 2016 challenge against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Deconstructing The Construct Ep #72

thank you to sister d for letting me know about this one. youtube continues to not let me see notifications, like comments or videos or make comments.  this is a very accurate, timely video – one i needed to see as well.  it reminds me to stay in my heart.  to embrace what i KNOW – and that is “they” will be at their agenda of fear and doom until the end….we have already “won” this battle on the outside – it is just playing out here….this virus is being used for many reasons.  the media are not showing the children and adults being rescued – and they won’t.  that is up to us to step up and share that (if you feel called/guided).  there is a reason we are all at home now (well most everyone is – at the very least we are all CLOSE to home when not at work)….the one event dream i had one of the impressions i had was “well at least everyone is at home for this”….i still don’t know exactly how this plays out – i continue to feel it will be like a frequency change – tuning a dial on a radio – something energetic comes in – perhaps it is Home Energy FINALLY allowed in as a result of all of the grids, etc. being removed here – those energy layers placed around us…..i just know when i saw it – everyone was affected….the experiences varied – most were either stunned or blissful….i felt neutral – peaceful – and just observed….anyway the point of lisa’s video – don’t feed their fear.  you are NOT seeing what you KNOW and FEEL to be true being pushed by media outlets.  now is the time to seeeeeeeeeee everything and everyone for who they really are.  it is one thing to feel afraid – share that – but then later reflect and return to center.  shoot i do that quite often.  but it is another to continue to push a theory of fear and doom. that is what they want.  those of us who have seen home – seen the event – some going back decades – we KNOW how this ends.  we KNOW this all ends and a new experience is born.  does that happen in a flash or does it take “time” – my feeling is we have already created that new world – so at least what i have felt for me – it happens in a flash (from there to here)….but for now we are seeing it all play out in the experience of “time”.  we got this.

love, victoria
