That was excellent Gman,,,I just finished the full lecture. He has really put a lot of pieces together since the long presentation that was uploaded here several years back. I gotta find a way to get my son to watch this....

she deserved that prize for that Ted talk! I also grew up around the Gulf of Mexico, and, even though I didn't get to dive, the change was obvious.

Man,,,he has so much integrity, hard to believe he's a reporter,ha! His indifference to either side makes him the real thing. I started to watch the next vid with Julian assange but had to stop and go to work. Rag and bone was righteous too!

And Matt Taibbi is right in there with the aforementioned - check out his deconstruction of the campaign process, brilliant! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jz4WwocqYc

note: Matt's talk is about politics and process in general, not about any one person (in spite of the title which relates to his latest book)

"MY FEELING OF CONNECTION DRIVES ME, NOT MY ANGER"

from Rob Breszny's astrology website... speaks to how I feel about reactions after election and inauguration day pretty well...

In the late 1990s, environmental activist Julia Butterfly Hill spent two

years living in a redwood tree she named "Luna." Her goal was to save it

from being cut down by a logging company. She succeeded both literally

and mythically. Luna was spared from death, as was a surrounding three-

acre swath of trees. Hill became an inspiring symbol of artful,

compassionate protest.

Later she told Benjamin Tong in the DVD "The Taoist and the Activist":

"So often activism is based on what we are against, what we don't like,

what we don't want. And yet we manifest what we focus on. And so we

are manifesting yet ever more of what we don't want, what we don't like,

what we want to change. So for me, activism is about a spiritual practice

as a way of life. And I realized I didn't climb the tree because I was angry

at the corporations and the government; I climbed the tree because when

I fell in love with the redwoods, I fell in love with the world. So it is my

feeling of 'connection' that drives me, instead of my anger and feelings of

being disconnected."

Beautiful Kristyne!

Yes, Kristyne! I love it!!!

Very inspiring interview with Julia. Gives me the impetus to say, "I can do something to save the planet."

Hey Knightspirit,,, I just watched the cobra update for feb. 12th. I am interested in this plasma field they were talking about, everything about frequencies interests me these days. Are you still out near Mt.Shasta? I have been near Yosemite for about a year and a half now.Thought of you when I drove by Mt. Shasta on the way here. Such an awesome view of that mountain from the north! I'm about to leave California now, and depending on the weather,,,might stop on the way back north.I guess the hot springs might be in order! Peace,,,T
