1. The ego is idolatry; the sign of limited and separated self, born in a body, doomed to suffer and to end its life in death. It is the “will” that sees the Will of God as enemy, and takes a form in which it is denied. The ego is the “proof” that strength is weak and love is fearful, life is really death, and what opposes God alone is true.
2. The ego is insane. In fear it stands beyond the Everywhere, apart from All, in separation from the Infinite. In its insanity it thinks it has become a victor over God Himself. And in its terrible autonomy it “sees” the Will of God has been destroyed.
It dreams of punishment, and trembles at the figures in its dreams; its
enemies, who seek to murder it before it can ensure its safety by
attacking them.
3. The Son of God is egoless. What can he know of madness and the death of God, when he abides in Him? What can he know of sorrow and of suffering, when he lives in eternal joy?
What can he know of fear and punishment, of sin and guilt, of hatred and
attack, when all there is surrounding him is everlasting peace, forever
conflict-free and undisturbed, in deepest silence and tranquility?
4. To know reality is not
to see the ego and its thoughts, its works, its acts, its laws and its
beliefs, its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its salvation, and the
cost belief in it entails. In suffering, the price for faith in it is so
immense that crucifixion of the Son of God is offered daily at its
darkened shrine, and blood must flow before the altar where its sickly
followers prepare to die.
5. Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light; the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His Son, His dwelling place, His joy, His love, completely His, completely one with Him.
The Lions Gate Portal opens from July 26th to August 12th, sending beams of high vibration energy to planet Earth, however the energies are at their peak on August 8th. Millions of web references saying the Lion’s Gate opens on the eighth day of the eighth month, activating the energetic power of 8/8 that many people are feeling.
In numerology, 8 embodies balance and equalization in and across all realms. 8 brings shifts and changes that bring harmony and alignment. When under the influence of 8, being willing to let go of things that have been tipping the scales out of balance is key to success and peace. Far-reaching ideas, achievement, financial security, leadership, organization, and ambition are all expressions of the number 8 vibration.
Serius – ly I had never heard of the Lions Gate Portal until this morning and it prompted me to have my numbers calculated and here’s what it said:

The Way was perverted into something other than what it was meant to be, simple and easy to remember. Christ Conscientiousness was to love God with all your heart and treat others as your brothers. That’s all, nothing deep or philosophical, just those two key tenets. So simple in fact that it need not be written down, nor signed by the author, Jesus.
It’s a challenging topic to talk about because his name conjures impressions of evangelical, or some form of religious dogma that recruiters use, like by pressure tactics such as; have you been saved? This is why it’s so difficult to cut the message down to the quick and straight to the point: Christ Conscientiousness is a state of being, not a religion.
There’s a good reason that Jesus didn’t author a book, since there was only one thing it would say – love your enemy.
To quote the Bible is cliche but for sure there are excellent examples of how we could enjoy a better life, by improving how we think about other people, by not judging and by showing more compassion. There doesn’t need to be a life-altering character shift, just an atonement of attitude and behaviour. Every aggravating situation is another opportunity to act correctly, every interaction, every thought and every word, is a new chance to get it right.
Lucky for me that I was able to admit to myself that I love Jesus, just for showing us “The Way” and I am forever thankful that I was able to recognize my constant need to appreciate his legacy. It gives me joy and makes me happy, so that ‘way of thinking” replaced any dark thoughts.
A Course in Miracles has helped me enormously, I will never be able to recommend ACIM enough, for me it made a big difference. Also, the name “Foundation for Inner Peace” was something everyone wants to join.
Free Heart, Free Mind, Free Spirit is a Free Soul was an expression from the manuscript of Dr. Nicolas Kimaz N.D. and below are a few more excerpts and quotes that Dr. Nic included to help make his case. Overall the story is an extremely rich and candid biography of the most extraordinary life.
The book of Proverbs is perhaps the best place in the Bible to learn of biblical wisdom. Proverbs 1:7 speaks of both biblical knowledge and wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, / but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”To fear the Lord is to start on the path to knowledge, and God can then begin to provide us with wisdom through Christ, who the Bible says is wisdom itself: “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption” (1 Corinthians 1:30). Ironically, the entire 31 Chapters of Proverbs is summed up in its last few verses where the writer gives proper homage and describes the “wise woman” in verses 10-31, but it is the last 2 verses that are most poignant and relevant, “… but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised. Give her the product of her hands and let her works praise her in the gates.”
But the bottom line is, my friend, the real battle is not with the world, but is with yourself. This a war that has been going on forever and you always have decisions to make, decisions about whose side you are going to take in that war inside you, the corrupt spirit or the truthful spirit. Is that decision going to be based on knowledge, or wisdom?
Jesus Himself said, “These things I have spoken to you that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage, I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
“Whoever is full of wisdom is naturally compassionate;in fact we recognize that someone has gained spiritual wisdom by seeing their compassionate behavior . . . Individuals and countries with power need to develop wisdom and compassion, for without these attributes, there is a danger that the power will be used to oppress and exploit others.”― Ravi Ravindra
Pi the transcendental number has been stuck in my mind so much lately and the pursuit of a perfect compensation plan, that I just can’t stop thinking about it. My hunch is that in the combination of Pi and the Golden ratio lays the math for growing a sustainable business model. Logic dictates that there must be a perfect formula found in nature, for growing a sustainable business enterprise to be robust and healthy and support many more well paying jobs.
Breakthroughs come from trying to mimic nature in ways that were previously not considered. Using Pi as the factor and Fibonacci Sequence for the revenue distribution model. Borrowing the Sunflower for inspiration and realizing all participants in the payment matrix are equal seeds, starting from the middle the seeds progress towards higher pay.
Seeking the wisdom to solve a complex question, with a simple answer. The question is how to create a sustainable business model based on a $9.99 monthly subscription, whereby the compensation from sale pays it forward to build the company, compensates the sales and marketing organization, then pay the cost of the service, which is better than any competitor.
When Pi is the compensation, distributed into a Golden ratio matrix payout to affiliates. Visualize the sunflower and imagine that the closer the seed gets to the outside edge, the higher the value of monthly compensation. Consider that all seeds are equal owners, now add a monthly service so beneficial to your life that you became a part owner by paying $9 per month, Pi of which is commission, distributed by the Golden ratio to the matrix that surrounds the new member.
I’m thinking out loud here and will return to continue working on this, like John Forbes Nash Jr and his ideas for Nash equilibrium
Solution concept
Selected equilibrium refinements in game theory. Arrows point from a refinement to the more general concept (i.e., ESS ⊂ {\displaystyle \subset }
Proper).
In game theory, a solution concept
is a formal rule for predicting how a game will be played. These
predictions are called “solutions”, and describe which strategies will
be adopted by players and, therefore, the result of the game. The most
commonly used solution concepts are equilibrium concepts, most famously Nash equilibrium.
Many solution concepts, for many games, will result in more than one solution. This puts any one of the solutions in doubt, so a game theorist may apply a refinement to narrow down the solutions. Each successive solution concept presented in the following improves on its predecessor by eliminating implausible equilibria in richer games.
Nash equilibria in a payoff matrix
There
is an easy numerical way to identify Nash equilibria on a payoff
matrix. It is especially helpful in two-person games where players have
more than two strategies. In this case formal analysis may become too
long. This rule does not apply to the case where mixed (stochastic)
strategies are of interest. The rule goes as follows: if the first
payoff number, in the payoff pair of the cell, is the maximum of the
column of the cell and if the second number is the maximum of the row of
the cell – then the cell represents a Nash equilibrium.
Player 2 Player 1
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option A
0, 0
25, 40
5, 10
Option B
40, 25
0, 0
5, 15
Option C
10, 5
15, 5
10, 10
We can apply this rule to a 3×3 matrix:
Using the rule, we can very quickly (much faster than with formal
analysis) see that the Nash equilibria cells are (B,A), (A,B), and
(C,C). Indeed, for cell (B,A) 40 is the maximum of the first column and
25 is the maximum of the second row. For (A,B) 25 is the maximum of the
second column and 40 is the maximum of the first row. Same for cell
(C,C). For other cells, either one or both of the duplet members are not
the maximum of the corresponding rows and columns.
This said, the actual mechanics of finding equilibrium cells is
obvious: find the maximum of a column and check if the second member of
the pair is the maximum of the row. If these conditions are met, the
cell represents a Nash equilibrium. Check all columns this way to find
all NE cells. An N×N matrix may have between 0 and N×N pure-strategy Nash equilibria.
Stability
The concept of stability, useful in the analysis of many kinds of equilibria, can also be applied to Nash equilibria.
A Nash equilibrium for a mixed-strategy game is stable if a small
change (specifically, an infinitesimal change) in probabilities for one
player leads to a situation where two conditions hold:
the player who did not change has no better strategy in the new circumstance
the player who did change is now playing with a strictly worse strategy.
If these cases are both met, then a player with the small change in
their mixed strategy will return immediately to the Nash equilibrium.
The equilibrium is said to be stable. If condition one does not hold
then the equilibrium is unstable. If only condition one holds then there
are likely to be an infinite number of optimal strategies for the
player who changed.
In the “driving game” example above there are both stable and
unstable equilibria. The equilibria involving mixed strategies with 100%
probabilities are stable. If either player changes their probabilities
slightly, they will be both at a disadvantage, and their opponent will
have no reason to change their strategy in turn. The (50%,50%)
equilibrium is unstable. If either player changes their probabilities,
then the other player immediately has a better strategy at either (0%,
100%) or (100%, 0%).
Stability is crucial in practical applications of Nash
equilibria, since the mixed strategy of each player is not perfectly
known, but has to be inferred from statistical distribution of their
actions in the game. In this case unstable equilibria are very unlikely
to arise in practice, since any minute change in the proportions of each
strategy seen will lead to a change in strategy and the breakdown of
the equilibrium.
The Nash equilibrium defines stability only in terms of
unilateral deviations. In cooperative games such a concept is not
convincing enough. Strong Nash equilibrium allows for deviations by every conceivable coalition.[15]
Formally, a strong Nash equilibrium is a Nash equilibrium in which no
coalition, taking the actions of its complements as given, can
cooperatively deviate in a way that benefits all of its members.[16]
However, the strong Nash concept is sometimes perceived as too “strong”
in that the environment allows for unlimited private communication. In
fact, strong Nash equilibrium has to be Pareto efficient.
As a result of these requirements, strong Nash is too rare to be useful
in many branches of game theory. However, in games such as elections
with many more players than possible outcomes, it can be more common
than a stable equilibrium.
A refined Nash equilibrium known as coalition-proof Nash equilibrium (CPNE)[15]
occurs when players cannot do better even if they are allowed to
communicate and make “self-enforcing” agreement to deviate. Every
correlated strategy supported by iterated strict dominance and on the Pareto frontier is a CPNE.[17]
Further, it is possible for a game to have a Nash equilibrium that is
resilient against coalitions less than a specified size, k. CPNE is
related to the theory of the core.
So needless to say, my ideas are all over the map on this “Beautiful Mind Business Model and Compensation Plan but I feel like I stepped closer and feel encouraged now to take more steps, on my quest to develop a business model based on the golden ratio. More in the future…. Meanwhile, it’s getting late, I need to stop listening to Psychedelic Dub/Reggae (for now) and get some sleep.
Photo credit on Pi is missing and will be here when I find it.
Peace is a concept that is much deeper when you internalize it. Is there a living human being that has no conflict, between the mind and heart? Sure the pursuit of happiness is what drive us but do we know the way? Please indulge me here, as I describe how I found my path.
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. And every man that striveth for mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, but not with uncertainty; I so fight, but not as one that beateth the air.
Corinthians 9:24 – 9:26
Peace is the root of happiness, to know peace is true victory.
What happened to me, at the risk of repeating myself, was an instant realization, one fine day in my sisters garage, where she had graciously granted me space, desk, wifi and fake fireplace heater, there I installed my laptop with speakers and surrounded the little desk with my books, which consisted of printed pages of gospels from Nag Hamadi and historical Illustrated pictorials of Jerusalem (now and then), even learned more about the Roman Empire and control of Judah, for historical context to the life and times of Jesus, I had good reference material. Plus, always recommend the Book of Thomas and Gospel of Nicodemus.
Finally replaced my old “happy hour“, where I used to enjoy a beer or two, with espresso coffee, sparkling water and listening to yoga music, flutes and drums, chants and frequencies, while reading about Christ through the eyes of these witnesses, kept in ancient testaments, found within the last 50 years and more or less kept quiet.
Why is so much conspiracy involved in the Dead Sea Scrolls? Who were the Essene? Was John the Baptist an Essene? Why did Nicodemus testify on behalf of Jesus yet unable to win consensus, then missing from the New Testament? (except as an eye witness, mentioned by others who were not there). I was immersed in answering these questions at first. After awhile it didn’t matter, as I gradually fell into both; a new habit and an entirely new understanding.
One day a Jehovah couple were campaigning in our neighbourhood and met my sister at her door, she told them that her brother (me) had been reading the Book of Enoch, to which they responded by returning the following day, with printed versus from the Bible, for further reading about Enoch. They attached a calling card with a paper clip, to the neat and clean manila folder.
The contents of the folder corroborated what had been reading, that was found in Egypt, written in Greek that had been translated from Hebrew. I enjoyed the match and appreciated the gift, so I looked on the back of the card and it had;
Happy are those conscious of their spiritual need, since the Kingdom of the heavens belongs to them
Matthew 5:3
All of a sudden I burst out crying, as I looked around and realized I was happy and at that moment knew that for the rest of my life, all I had to do was get the Bible out, find some red letters (words of Jesus) and within moments I am happy, or at least content. Nothing like that had ever happened to me before. It was like I just won a lottery, I was so happy. Wish I had known this about myself sooner but peace is everything and more.
The way to happiness is peace, as over time I was able to slow my mind down and change what I was thinking by changing the questions I was asking myself. My soul purpose was to resolve the one question I wanted to know my entire life; what makes me truly happy? Peace.
There will always be two witnesses, in everything in life, and breathing is a perfect example. Inhale and think about it…. breath is everything…. exhale and forget about it…. you’ll just inhale another, and another, without evening thinking about it. Duality is us.
Being in the world, not of it, using the mind to seek the narrow gate. Can you accomplish that? Do you have the discipline to overcome Psychosis from our society? Prepared to defend your temple? Do you the faith to breakthrough?
Get Ready for the ride of a lifetime! Breathwork has been discovered.
Psychosis is an abnormal condition of the mind that results in difficulties determining what is real and what is not. Symptoms may include false beliefs (delusions) and seeing or hearing things that others do not see or hear (hallucinations).
The feminine polarity has the power to change people, with a new inner understanding. Deciding to pursue this peace of mind and state of being, is like the last judgment, as it’s towards healing by a righteous mindset.
We are in an age of mass awakening, when the brains of people everywhere, become connected to the hearts. This movement begins to serve it’s purpose as each individual discovers inner peace. Using breathwork with intentional healing and cleansing, unblocking of the deep subconscious. Breakthroughs are happening en mass.
The Iceman proves scientifically that breathwork can change physiology and makes possible our ability to control our body (much more than we knew). Psychosis can be alleviated within hours temporarily and practice can permanently banish all of it’s symptoms. Satisfaction guaranteed!
Hitherto, both the autonomic nervous system and innate immune system were regarded as systems that cannot be voluntarily influenced. The present study demonstrates that, through practicing techniques learned in a short-term training program, the sympathetic nervous system and immune system can indeed be voluntarily influenced. -Proceedings of the National Academy for Sciences
Wim Hof
The Start of Scientific Research
What Wim is capable of was long viewed as scientifically impossible. In 2007 the first scientific analysis was done at Feinstein Institute in New York. In 2011, the University Medical Center St. Radboud in Nijmegen really got the ball rolling. After running several tests they couldn’t but admit that Wim and others are able to voluntarily influence the Autonomic Nervous System. Something which up until then was thought impossible, through the Wim Hof Method. This groundbreaking finding, published in PNAS and Nature, established credibility and bred curiosity among academia. Increasingly, researchers across a wide range of disciplines have since taken an interest, and various promising studies are currently underway.
This is very cool information to me and I’m already practicing. Free course can be found at The Science behind the Wim Hof Method – I’m actually late to find out about Wim Hof and actually I first heard about the ice swimming some time ago, then Russell Brand interviewed him and that’s where the idea was planted like a seed in my mind that breathwork, is the practice to achieve breakthrough and manifest our maximum happiness.
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.
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.

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.
The Divine will is our effortless existence, when we align with our solar consciousness. The Solstice in Cancer is the most powerful of all days in a celestial cycle, known as a year. It represents the pinnacle of the energy force of light and love. In a metaphysical sense, we receive the most pure radiance into our souls at that time of the year. We need to honour it.
The Sun represents wealth and the eternal spring, it’s the key of almost every believe system since the beginning of man. The sun represents the word, it’s the symbol of light and the great central sign. The birth and creation of all things, is related to the sun.
I can never forget the first time the summer solstice had significance for me, it was during my early twenties. In 1983 there was an global oil crisis and the entire oil industry of western Canada shut down. That year there was no work available in northern BC and Alberta, so I drove the entire Alaska Highway seeking a job. I was finally hired in Inuvik NWT to work on a seismic ship, seaman first class, until the arctic sea began to freeze. Then arrived in Tuktoyuktuk, the northern most seaport in the world, at the end of the summer season, having made enough money to move to Australia.
That adventure had me camping in BC, Yukon, Northwest Territories and even made a port of call in Deadhorse Alaska. Yep, I’ve been to Whitehorse, the Capital of Yukon and Deadhorse the capital of Prudhoe bay, Alaska. Even getting to the seismic ship was incredible, in a single engine float plane we flew over the McKenzie delta, the second largest river delta in the world (after the Amazon) to land at the only island in the Yukon where a massive pile of bleached whales bones remained from whale-oil hunter camps, of 100 years earlier. From the plane floats I boarded a 150 foot ship and was replacing the first mate from Newfoundland, who had become a new father, so I was the replacement for 90 days and worked at the helm and managed the tender, which was a zodiac with an outboard engine.
On that tour I received a letter from a friend who was working in Queensland, Australia, I decided the day I read it, crumpled it and threw it in the sea. I went from the Arctic to Darwin Australia from Bali, Indonesia via Hong Kong by way of San Francisco. From Darwin, where I arrived with $14 dollars left and a one way ticket, on a 6 month visa (stayed 3 years), was clean-cut and well dressed, carrying a single sports bag with short flip flops, change of clothes and my tooth brush. I began hitch-hiking from the airport to Cairns, Queensland, where after a few days I was with old friends and living in paradise. All in a year, from one extreme to another.
I was in Dawson City on the Yukon River for Solstice 1983
I was in Dawson City, Yukon for the Summer Solstice and joined a group of revellers atop Dome Mountain, above the ancient mining town, where there had been a gold rush of 100,000 men a century previous. From the top of the mountain we could look down on the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike Rivers and on that day the sun doesn’t set, it kisses the horizon and then rises again. It’s a very dramatic cosmic event.
There’s always a dark side to Solstice too, Veterinarians will tell you that it’s the time of year when old dogs die, old horses, old cats, old everything will perish, if they’re end is near the reaper comes for them, something about those Solstice is related to death and birth, hence the rituals. (song added for the icebergs)
Solstice in Cancer is a time to understand more about our Solar Consciousness. The idea is to align our mission and purpose with our passion. Some might think of it as reaching our optimum potential in a natural and authentic manner, so that the act of living becomes a pleasure and the felling of satisfaction provides enormous peace and comfort.
