The Song of the Butterfly was recorded at a private session in Hungry 2014 with four brilliant artists in jam. This video has 15,592,964 views for a good reason, especially in today’s pop culture of electronically created music. This mesmerizing song is performed entirely in the spirit of the moment.
While attending Everness Festival in Hungary we were invited by artist Istvan Sky Kék Égto to visit his Surya Sangíta Asram. There four beautiful souls met together and by improvising created the musical adventure you are witnessing now.
Music made by Collaboration of: Istvan Sky Kék Ég, Estas Tonne, Pablo Arellano, Indrė Kuliešiūtė.
Sitar is the main instrument in The Song of the Butterfly. Sitar is named after a Persian instrument called the setar (meaning three strings). The sitar flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries and arrived at its present form in 18th-century India. It derives its distinctive timbre and resonance from sympathetic strings, bridge design, a long hollow neck and a gourd-shaped resonance chamber. In appearance, the sitar is similar to the tanpura, except that it has frets.
Used widely throughout the Indian subcontinent, the sitar became popularly known in the wider world through the works of Ravi Shankar, beginning in the late 1950s and early 1960s.[1] In the 1960s, a short-lived trend arose for the use of the sitar in Western popular music, with the instrument appearing on tracks by bands such as The Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling Stones and others.
Who can you trust to protect your Self-sovereign Identity?
This Self-sovereign Identity idea has me captivated, that your ID is so valuable that you can’t trust anyone to be the guardian of it, unless you’re an owner of that company. New business models had to be invented, just to make sure your ID is never sold, used, stolen or borrowed.
A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
Proverbs 22
Why Blockchain?
This question tends to stem from the notion that data associated with a person’s identity is destined to be stored, shared and used for verification on some form of distributed ledger technology. My hope is that this article with help to debunk that notion and provide a basic foundational understanding of how distributed ledger technology is being used to solve our identity infrastructure dilemma and resolve the impacts of the internet lacking an identity layer.
Trust chains
A trusted server, or certificate authority, uses digital
certificates to provide a mechanism whereby trust can be established
through a chain of known or associated endorsements. For example, Alice can be confident that the public key in Carol’s digital certificate belongs to Carol because Alice can walk the chain of certificate endorsements from trusted relationships back to a common root of trust.
Our current identity authentication scheme on the internet is based on asymmetric encryption and the use of a centralized trust model. Public key infrastructure (PKI) implements this centralized trust model by inserting reliance on a hierarchy of certificate authorities. These certificate authorities establish the authenticity of the binding between a public key and its owner via the issuance of digital certificates.
Rebooting the web of trust
What if we wanted to avoid this centralized reliance on a trust chain
of certificate authorities? What if we could leverage distributed
ledger technology as a transparent and immutable source for verifying
and auditing the authenticity of the binding between a public key and
its owner?
An alternative to the PKI-based centralized trust model, which relies exclusively on a hierarchy of certificate authorities, is a decentralized trust model. A web of trust, which relies on an individual’s social network to be the source of trust, offers one approach to this decentralized alternative. However, the emergence of distributed ledger technology has provided new life to the web of trust vision. Solutions using SSI can leverage distributed ledger as the basis for a new web of trust model that provides immutable recordings of the lifecycle events associated with the binding between a public key and its owner.
The Sovrin Solution
The Sovrin Network is a new standard for digital identity
– designed to bring the trust, personal control, and ease-of-use of
analog IDs – like driver’s licenses and ID cards – to the Internet.
We want to give people, organizations, and things the freedom to
collect and carry their own lifelong verifiable digital credentials.
“Self-sovereign” means the individual identity holder can access and use
their credentials on the Sovrin Network whenever and however they
please.
It’s time to evolve the current system of siloed identities, endless passwords, and insecure databases. The time is here for the frictionless, secure identity verification of self-sovereign identity. – Read the Sovrin Network Whitepaper.
Above sources were IBM and Sovern, below is a piece from Phillip J. Windley, Ph.D. an Enterprise Architect in the Office of the CIO at Brigham Young University and a leading authority on Self-sovereign and Multi-sovereign identity theory.
Multi-Source and Self-Sovereign Identity
Summary
Self-sovereign
identity is multi-source, but not all multi-source identity systems are
self-sovereign. Self-sovereignty requires that people and organizations
have control of their credentials and interact as peers.
The world is full of credentials. Some, like a driving license, an
employee ID card, a passport, or a university diploma are widely
recognized as such. But many other things are also credentials: a store
receipt, a boarding pass, or a credit score, for example. Credentials,
designed properly, allow verifiable data to be employed in workflows
without centralized hubs, point-to-point integrations, or real-time
communication between the various players. Credentials enable decentralized, asynchronous workflows.
The Issuer/Holder/Verifier Trust Triangle
Multi-source identity (MSI)
allows multiple credentials from multiple providers to be brought to
bear, flexibly and conveniently, in a situation where trusted
attestations are needed for the participants in a workflow to make
progress. In MSI, there are three players: credential issuers,
credential holders, and credential verifiers. Any person or
organization can play any or all of the roles.
Credential
issuers determine what credentials to issue, what the credential means,
and how they’ll validate the information they put in the credential.
Credential holders determine what credentials they need and which they’ll employ in workflows to prove things about themselves.
Credential verifiers determine what credentials to accept and who to trust.
Because of these features, MSI is decentralized. In contrast,
traditional identity systems have a single identity provider (IdP) who
administers an identity system for their own purposes, determines what
attributes are important, and decides which partners can participate.
Self-sovereign identity means the individual or organization
controls and manages their identity. Multi-source identity becomes
self-sovereign identity (SSI) when the individual is able to control the
credentials and use them in a privacy-preserving manner whenever and
where ever they want. Privacy is a critical feature of SSI because
without privacy, there is no control. In SSI, the identity owner must be
able to control who sees what and that means that privacy is a
fundamental property of the architecture for SSI.
SSI also implies that the parties to the credential transaction
behave as peers. In traditional identity systems the rights of the
so-called “identity subject” are subordinate to those of the identity
provider. In SSI, every player independently determines the role they’ll
play, who they trust, and what they will believe. As we’ve seen, in
SSI, an identity owner holds credentials from multiple providers and can
use them where ever she wants. While these credentials can be revoked
individually, the identity owner still controls her own identity wallet
and all the other credentials she has collected.
Self-sovereign identity represents a monumental shift in how
identity functions on the Internet. Internet identity systems have
traditionally only supported a limited set of attributes and required
prior agreement and custom integration. SSI frees Internet identity from
this narrow view by introducing support for the exchange of credentials
by individuals and organizations acting as peers. The result will be an
Internet identity regime that is more flexible, more secure, more
private, less burdensome, and less costly.
The North Shore on Oahu is a great place for photographers to capture vivid images of the Pacific in motion, as the beach’s legendary monster waves rise up before breaking on the beach. This long-exposure photograph, shot early in the morning, shows off the power and motion of the water as it rises to form a curled wave. These waves make the North Shore one of Hawaii’s prime surfing destinations. When his ship, the HMS Discovery, was navigating the South Pacific in 1778, British explorer Captain James Cook noted the locals out in the waves riding on boards. Surfboards date back to at least 500 CE and possibly much further back in history.
My Hawaii expedition was so mind expanding that two weeks changed my life irreversibly and the memory of standing on Mākaha Beach and feeling the waves breaking without even being in the water is amazing. The North Shore was magical in the late seventies, the crazy thing was that the previous day I had been skiing in BC, on Boxing day I flew from Vancouver to Honolulu like an a complete newb. Up until then I’d never been anywhere except ski resorts. This was my first taste of the tropics.
The crazy brother combo, my friends Crispy and Crusty had gotten me into this weird predicament, in which I had smoked the deadly Krypto Pakalolo earlier in Honolulu and not being used to it, plus feeling like the only person not sun-tanned brown, I was the inverse and felt like a marshmallow at a bonfire, anyway, so there I was in a rented car on the far-side of the island from the city where I had arrived, buying a big sack of Pakalolo, from surf bums at the beach.
Mākaha Beach Park with the slopes of the Waianae Mountains on the right
The idea my amigos had learned from Waikiki Beach experience, and having been to Hawaii several times, was that we could buy enough weed from the surfers on the North Shore, to last us through New Years eve. Thank goodness for the skiing sunglasses, to hide how ridiculously high I was. Finally the score was made and we made our getaway, then stopped ten minutes later to indulge and to adsorb what was happening.
All of a sudden cars started skidding to a stop in the parking lot, one after another, with young kids with surfboards, like a race was on and we were at the finish line to witness, what we later learned was high school had just finished for the day and this was the locals favourite spot. Without intending to be, we were standing in front of Pipeline.
The day I watched a huge break after a Christmas storm and the sight and feel of what we watched left an indelible print in my brain. I lived the next thirty years near a beach in the tropics of Australia, Florida, Costa Rica and Brazil and hundreds of beaches in between, even went to Mavericks near Santa Cruz once, to pay respects, but never seen anything quite like the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii.
Anything as fun as speedboats on a hot summer day?
Growing-up as a boy there was a rule in my family, on a Friday afternoon we were to be at the marina, with all supplies, food, gas and cooler jammed with beverages on ice and ready to depart the moment Dad arrived after work. We’d all jump in the speedboats, cast-off, idle out of the marina and accelerate one good sprint out to deep water, then stop in the middle of the lake and dive in. for the first of endless swims in the Okanagan Lake.
My Dad loved building speedboats, and he helped many of his friends custom build V8’s engines into wooden hulled boats to make water ski boats. About that time outboard engines were becoming very popular on Fiberglas hulled boats, these light boats could go faster too (quickly). Then there were many jet boats and the occasional drag boats, all of them could be called speedboats and my home-lake had hundreds of them, in all sizes and configurations. Nowadays, of course, there are thousands.
Spending the summers out on the lake boating, was a way of life for me and the weekend excursions brought our little craft, to every cove and bay, all the islands and all the best beaches. Eventually, as a family, in a variety of boats spanning two decades, we had discovered the lake from end to end
As a teenager water skiing was my thing and every summer we’d go looking for glass, that’s what we called perfectly calm water when it has no surface disturbance, it’s very rare, either in the early morning or if you’re lucky, right on dusk, that’s when nature’s magic really happens, once in a million but If you try some time, you just might find, you get what you need to have allot of fun in speedboats.
Never tired of ripping up the smooth water behind the boat on a tow rope, slicing back and forth on a slalom ski and jumping the wake with ease. Now I’m a spectator and the variety of new tow rope watersports blows-my-mind and I’m shocked that some of these things were invented, as we thought we’d thought of it all, in terms of what you could do behind a boat, on the end of the rope. Even during the night time, people wake surf with lights and speakers blaring the tunes of your choice.
Hour of after joyful hour was spent our cruising on speedboats but we burned all of gasoline, now politically incorrect. As life went on there have been many other lakes and many other boats and the thrill never fades, the fun never ends, when the lake is calm in a good speedboat, guess that’s why they’re known as a “pleasure craft”.
Lions Gate for Self-sovereign Identity (SSI), is an idea who’s time has come.
Nothing is stronger than an idea whose time has come.
Armies cannot stop an idea whose time has come. No army can stop an idea whose time has come. Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come. There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come.
Victor Hugo
It’s hard to make something easy, and easy to make something hard. To date, there’s no easy solution for personal SSI because it’s not an easy proposition and it’s not free. Yet, the solution lays in the value of a name and not exploiting that, rather to aggregate the names and grow organically.
A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.
Proverbs 22
The Digital Identity movement has been around a long time, however it’s only recently that Self-Sovereign Identity started to trend, largely due to increasing awareness of a data cloning, and fear of phishing.
Would you trust your ID to a corporation, or rather to a Club that you were a member of?
Lions Gate Club is brain-trust first, then a foundation was created with an advisory board, the criteria was always the same “who can you trust to secure your SSI? so the Club was devised with a mandate to constantly improve the KYC platform and SSI management system. Design a better system to protect the team-member’s most valuable asset, and all are shareholders by virtue of their names.
Your name is worth more than you think and we want to pay you to keep your verification in an organization that you are an owner in, because you lent us your name. Now you claim your reward, once you grow through the payment curve of the Fibonacci sequence business model.
The reason for Lions Gate Club is that you can’t trust something as important as your identity to an enterprise that you have no control of, the reason a club generates you money is because you helped to get it started and provided your endorsement and paid your dues to get in the spiral.
A business in service of others, that’s how we leverage your name and why you own a piece, the same amount as everyone else. Our objective is to be driven by service to others in our Club and for this reason Lions Gate Club is a product for members to promote and earn referral fees, once again based on the compensation math of The Fibonacci spiral.
Lions Gate Club is a Club, and a co-op and an independent enterprise the primary difference is that it’s an inverted payment model that shrinks over time based on the “Golden Ratio” business model. The objective of the model is to re-invest towards sustainability, with a revolutionary blockchain staking plan and node farming for revenue generation.
A tiling with squares whose side lengths are successive Fibonacci numbers
Trust is the Mission of Lions Gate Club by utilizing a double-blockchain strategy for SelfKey tokens stored on a Horizen blockchain, using mobile phone apps to access ID by digital wallet. Corporate management are vested owners and project partners, utilizing a “Share the Growth” business model. Constantly seeking to streamline and simplify operations.
The Key is to do one important thing, a very simple set of parameters exists for digital on-boarding and correct KYC procedures for Anti-money laundering and secure document storage of your ID. Simple presentation to guarantee you are verified by Lions Gate, to be who you say you are.
Hard to make something easy, yet easy to make something hard

Lions Gate Club is an open source, liquid democracy, co-operative. Membership fee uses Fibonacci sequence to obtain profit growth that is reinvested to achieve sustainability. People are the focus, as we require the best and brightest to keep our names safe, this is a pursuit of excellence that must set us apart. The actual sticky sauce is the founders and the followers, as we pay down the costs of each persons service, month after month, it becomes less and less until it begins to pay you pennies, then nickels, dimes, quarters and finally to dollars per month.

The financial sustainability of the enterprise is in the math and the fact that there is an actual cost to have the worlds best ID storage, verification and digital on-boarding system. What’s it worth to you? What if we could provide that on a diminishing cost scale, over time?
Would you trust your ID to a corporation, or rather to a Club that you were a member of? What if the Club paid you money to keep your Digital Identity in the system and then tell others, scale to infinity using the same math.
My friend yesterday received a package from Google Inc. The news is – they are giving the prototypes of their latest Project Glass to fellow testers & android users.
My original reactions to him were – “OMG, how did you manage to get them” … To which he said – “Im not sure how, but I had taken one survey from them” However so, these glasses sync up with your Android Phones with mystic NFC connection. So any android phone which is capable of NFC can sync up these glasses and you are ready to go.
Here are the specification that came up with the manual:

The meaning of life, is the search for truth.
We all embark upon the journey of discovery from the moment of birth, as we age it becomes more and more important, it seems to me, or perhaps we’ve had more time to ask the right questions. In today’s world the question everyone should be asking, is about themselves, as it relates to sustainability. How would we be, if everyone had what we have?
The reality of growth in Africa, for example, is driving an entirely new group of newly minted millionaires. China leads the pack but India’s no slouch, and in far corners of the world there’s new growth.
Consider the new opportunity, especially where China Belt and Road initiative opened up economic engines for growth, these areas are generating new wealth, in nations that had been poor for centuries.
Now it’s Africa’s turn to prosper, for the next hundred years that where the biggest cities in the world will grow, according to experts.
Going back to the truth query
Is it going to be sustainable for everyone to have a house and a car, go to college abroad and live like the lifestyles of today’s role models? Is this how all 7 billion of us are going to roll?
Herein lies the rub; to have social equality and sustain the levels of projected consumption, depletion of resources, and production of plastic waste etc… to destroy the planet. Not to mention the sheer exhaustion of once great tourist destinations, all from over-use and endless consumption.
Meanwhile the rich get richer by exploiting the bread and circus society of modern day and repackaging everything for massive new markets of buyers, who will follow in the footsteps of North America from the 60’s onward, we became super-consumers, now others are following.
Capitalism and democracy are the truthful answers to mans plight, however the paradigm must shift, so business models share the growth in a much more “pay-it-forward” philosophy. The shift has started to happen, the business models have begun to emerge, many having been incubated in the melee of blockchain ICO start-up and other awesome experiments in d-centralized, encrypted and secure ledger ideas but no paradigm shift yet.
The two entrepreneurs that used a cheap bracelet to launch an ocean clean-up company that has grown into a global enterprise is just one example but there are many and some are happening in places you’d least expect it, for example in Harley Davidson when the employees became partners, this evolution of sound business practice of sharing the fruits with the people who help create it, is what is catching the attention of others.
I highly recommend a resource for business model strategy called FourWeekMBA.com this is the most interesting source of business model strategy and a tremendous place to learn about great companies are created and how they can be a good when they’re in service of other people, or designed to make something better.
In my own search for truth I recognize that the things I thought I wanted, don’t seems so appealing to me, when I consider if that was the change I wanted to see other people make, in other words to scale down on material things, pursuit the spiritual, self-improve and give back in some way.
Greta Thunberg of Fridays for Future is correct about one thing, each one of us must be come aware of our own carbon footprints, and plastic production, fuel consumption and every other style of consumption. We all have to downsize our wants and desires, to make sure earth can sustain.
The world is so incredible and nature amazing powerful, those are the things that we need to consider and align with. I am trying too, thanks for not being too annoyed by my hypocrisy, that’s something I’m also attempting to reduce. All in the search of truth.
On the wall in my office is the above photo of a 1969 Chevrolet Corvette stingray, convertible. This outstanding photo, taken against graffiti in Vancouver, is poster child for the month of June in my 2019 calendar. The photo is by Gavin Mah for a custom car company called EFI and was included in the yearly calendar of an auto insurance company.
Today I add the category “Cars” to this blog, so that I could add these photos and admit to my love of autos. I’ve never owned a stingray and probably never will but I’ve driven a few, including a 1969 convertible, and rented a ZR1 Grand Sport for a week in California, and drove the “Pines to the Palms” hwy from Palm Springs to San Diego, then back to Malibu and LA.
EFISystemPro.Com is one of the Cyberspace Automotive Performance (CyberAuto) family of automotive performance websites. CyberAuto was the first auto parts store on the Internet back in 1993 and now includes a long legacy of world-class automotive performance websites, including Racing Seats USA and Fuel-Pumps.Net.
Looking at this photo every day and admiring that amazing muscle car all month (so far), today rather than add the story to “Design” category, which is where is really could belong. I was reluctant to add “Cars” as a category because it’s one of my temptations, along with women, that I try not to lust after.
These 60’s muscle car photos are meant to inspire people of a great car era. The Chevrolet Corvette is arguably the only American sports car, you would have had to drive one to understand what I mean, these are really fun cars to drive. Combustion engines created some really radical designs and very cool style for a carriage.
The 4 photos are borrowed from the gallery here: EFISystemPro.com
The Chevrolet Corvette, colloquially known as the Vette or Chevy Corvette, is a front engine, rear drive, two-door, two-passenger sports car manufactured and marketed by Chevrolet across more than sixty years of production and seven design generations — with GM confirming in early 2019 an eighth generation Corvette in a mid-engine configuration. With its generations noted sequentially from C1-C8, the Corvette serves as Chevrolet’s halo vehicle and is widely noted for its performance and distinctive plastic — either fiberglass or composite — bodywork.
In 1953, when GM executives were looking to name the new Chevrolet sports car, assistant director for the Public Relations department Myron Scott suggested Corvette after the small maneuverable warship — and the name was approved. The first model, a convertible, was introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept and was followed ten years later, in the 1963 second generation, in coupe and convertible styles. Originally manufactured in Flint, Michigan as well as St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette has been manufactured since 1981 in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
The Corvette has since become widely known as “America’s Sports Car.” Automotive News said that after ‘starring’ in the early 1960s television show Route 66, the Corvette became synonymous with freedom and adventure,” ultimately becoming both “the most successful concept car in history and the most popular sports car in history.
Butterfly SmartCity Network by PayServices.com has now reached 80 cities and over 100,000 users. The Internet of Things is unstoppable, especially in cities where the data is useful and convenient. Plus, the simplicity of having all the localized and emergency services in one App for each city, is smart.
STATE OF THE ART SECURITY
Built
from the ground up with top notch financial banking level system
security, user friendly multi-factor identification and advanced
procedures in AML (Anti Money Laundering), KYC (Know Your
Customer/Citizens), and GRC (Governance Risk Compliance).
Butterfly SmartCity Network BUSINESS MODEL
For
a city to join the Butterfly SmartCity Network and receive its own
Butterfly SmartCity Co-Branded App the process is free and similar to
opening a social media page for the city and the economics for
PayServices behind the business model are similar to merchant services
and free online services such as the ones search engines have adopted.
Cities, counties, and states that join the network are
required to sign a non-exclusive collaboration agreement making it an
official member of the network.
Upon
the execution of the collaboration agreement to join the network, city
officials are given a “Go To Market” kit containing basic information,
as well a person of contact within the Butterfly Effect Team available
for assistance.
The integration of city data such as GIS layers, and the
interfacing with existing legacy systems (some of which may require a
little bit of development from PayServices) are mostly free of charge
for the city and usually handled within a matter of days. We do our best
to adapt to the needs of your city.
Having one app that offers so many services altogether as part of an ecosystem where all is interconnected allows your city to advertise only one single app instead of ten different services. This method permits the increase in market adoption among residents and simplicity at all levels by having only a single platform to support instead of several that were never meant to be compatible.
Data is one of the most valuable assets in a digital world. Self-Sovereign identity puts you back in control of your personal data for more privacy and protection.
When you register for a new online account, you are being forced to hand over personal data. It’s only a matter of time before those accounts become compromised and malicious actors gain access to your personal information. By using blockchain technology, Self-Sovereign Identity puts you back in control of your personal data.
Your online identity will become critically important to you as AI begins to flex it’s muscle. Data cloning is happening and the Internet has become high-risk for phishing and data theft for decades, now ID fraud is beyond epidemic and the blockchain has arrived just in time.
Regain ownership
Your data is yours. Currently, it belongs to any service provider you register for when creating new online accounts.
Stop oversharing
The
internet is forever, and so is your personal data once it’s online.
Keep your personal information safe and choose when to share it.
Why is Self-Sovereign Identity Important?
To
use any application, visit a website, or access a device in the digital
world – your first step is authentication. Who are you? Are you really
who you claim to be? This is the foundation of all interactions with
technology, and it’s deeply flawed when you don’t control who you are in
a digital world.
Your data is getting more concentrated in the
hands of a few large institutions. They are storing information about
your browsing history, shopping habits, location data, bank statements,
medical history, and much more. With the rising threat of data breaches,
security threats, and loss of privacy – your information is
increasingly at risk because you do not own your identity. As your life
becomes increasingly digital, the data you create forms a clear
construct of who you are. Instead of storing the data on centralized
servers that could be at risk for hacks or misuse, we believe there is a
better way. You, the identity owner – should own and control your own
information.
Using blockchain technology, the SelfKey Wallet
provides an identity platform where you can manage all of your personal
information. You’ll be able to choose what information you want to
share, who gets access to it, and for how long. This will revolutionize
how you interact with the online world, while protecting your
information and privacy. Welcome to the future of identity: where you
are in complete control. Where you are self-sovereign.

A Course in Miracles
“This is A Course in Miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary. Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum. It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time. The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught. It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love’s presence, which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear, but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite. This Course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:
Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists.
