Interdependence Day Is On Its Way

Readers:

The following email was recently sent to our supporters.  If you are interested in our Interdependence Day, please contact Cassie at ct7sisters@gmail.com for more information.

~Seven Sisters

Greetings from the Seven Sisters!

To kick off a season of resistance to the oligarchy, the seven sisters are gathering together all those throughout the state of Connecticut and beyond who sympathize with the international Occupy movements, all those who experience hardship at the hands of the oligarchy.

We declare Saturday, June 16^th, 1-5pm @ Bushnell Park, “Interdependence Day,” a day for families, friends and citizens to gather together in recognition of their resistance to the oligarchy for a potluck in the park, featuring music, speakers, and information tables.  When the uber-rich are threatened, they show police force, so when the people are threatened, it’s time to show people force.  Let’s show the powers that be that we have numbers.  Let’s demonstrate to ourselves that we have power. 

For the past three months we have organized within Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury.  Now that we have a permit, it’s time to push our organizing into overdrive, and for that, we need YOU!

We are asking of you the following:

1.       Organize your community/neighborhood,

2.       Identify the immediate needs and concerns of your community,

3.       Locate speakers that can speak to those needs,

4.       Suggest bands for the event,

5.       Arrange carpools and/or buses, and

6.       Be at Bushnell Park on Saturday afternoon, June 16, 2012.

Please respond to this email in the affirmative if you are able to organize your community and attend. 

If you decide to participate, and in preparation for the big day, we will convene conference-call “town halls” for the day of May 16^th in every place where we are organized to see how each of us can contribute to making this event a success.  You will be receiving more information on the town halls in future emails.

Also, depending on your social media needs and preferences, feel free to:

• ·        Friend “Spring Forward” on Facebook athttp://www.facebook.com/people/Spring-Forward/100003568309330 to declare your attendance for the event.
• ·        Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/WomenWill for in the moment updates and resources.
• ·       Visit our blog at http://www.ctsevensisters.blogspot.com/ where official up-to-date information can be found.
• ·         Email Cassie at ct7sisters@gmail.com with any specific questions or concerns.

Various groups and Occupies are planning direct actions throughout the state for the spring and summer.  By gathering together for one day, in numbers, we can fuel our momentum for the season.

“Let’s show the oligarchy that we have power in numbers.”  ~Seven Sisters

Typing Test Addict

Hello, my name is MissNikkiAnn, and I am a typing addict, doing it for the heck of it.  It is a passion.  Has been since I got my first "typewriter" in 5th grade in the early 1980s.

I type every single day.  And if I did not, I do not think that I would be as calm and sane as I am.  My fingers hit the keys with a force that feels as if I am releasing a great burden.  But even if I could not type for lack of proper equipment, I would be just as passionate about and drawn to taking pencil or pen to paper every single day (I've been there and done that, too.).  

So, yeah, the issue is really about the words.  And it has nothing to do with the writing being sensible; I am just as happy typing/writing a single word over and over again (I do that a lot) or typing/writing out my favorite quotes and song lyrics.

And if I had not a single, external physical tool, I would write in my mind (as I often do and always have done).

So, yeah, it's about expression.  And no matter what shape or form it takes, we all have our ways of doing it.

Me...I like to type.

~MissNikkiAnn, typing enthusiast

Satsang with Mooji

I have viewed and meditated on this particular satsang twice.  My enjoyment of the awakening it provided moved me to share it with my audience.  Enjoy.

Chronically Ill PJ Party 4!

Terence McKenna, my good people, Terence McKenna.

His words always awaken and stir something within my human body.  Something that doesn't require my mind to go about thinking.  Something that is innately, quietly, and mutually understood by those whom it resonates with.

And his words appear to create and navigate waters that are upon us.  Each of us is helping to chart the way.  The things we discover, eventually unfolding the revelation that the next undiscovered discovery is but a short creation away.  Spirit waiting to fulfill its eternal journeying.

And that is the fear, that the creation never began and will never end.  The fear that grips us, causing hysteria, panic and discombobulating mental states.  We are out of control of a thing that is uncontrollable, trying to imprison that which is free.

And yet, the Soul feels no one way about it.  It just Is.  Always has been and always will be.

Be good.

Be patient.

Be ye not in control.

But be ye at peace within the uncontrollable.

And be ye in the awareness that it has ALWAYS been this way.

Mooji: Falling in Love...With Self-Contemplation

My favorite part is at about 00:19:00 (19 minutes in) when he says:  

"I don't believe anybody, actually. Everybody tells lies. It's just not true. We make things up all the time and present them as if they are profound truths. And then, oh god!, pay lots of money for somebody to tell you 'oh dear, you have a terrible problem, you have got the biggest problem in the world, dear!'. We make a lot of things up and then we believe them into existence and suffer from the thing we give so much importance to. Peace, joy, silence is the easiest thing for you, but it's just not appealing because we have such a fascination with a roller-coaster existence." 

Then Mooji gives a hearty laugh; the kind of laugh that proceeds offertory wisdom but precedes the human existence, "the cosmic giggle," as Terence McKenna used say. 

I love it!

And I must say...massah did a guud job not teachin nuffin.

But glory be to the great "I Am" (God)...if our compassion were worth its weight in gold...

As I always tell my friends in confidence: 

"You don't have to worry much about the black man; he don't pump fear in anyone but his own people, for he reaches not far from home to steal and rob what he needs.  The one to watch is the friendly corporate man adorned in what appears to be neutral clothing and air. Him. He be the one. Watch for him, for even in your slumber, he is coming for you. Always.  And he's a cannibal, eats the flesh of his own--ask 'middle class' America about him...they're learning what we niggas already knew..."

My Creative and Meditative Truth

Today I listened to this while doing my daily writing.  I often listen to Mooji and write at the same time.  In the end, the writing becomes more of a releasing-until-I am-facing-the-void process, than one where I am actively seeking some self-imposed and forced creative outcome.  Because that's too easy.  


We are creatures.  


We create.  


It's just that some do so without recognizing it for the innate/unavoidable thing that it is.  


So when writing turns into more of a meditative state, it feels like a such blessing.

Readings of "No More Tears" By YouTube's DysautonomiaMD (performed by @DysautonomicOne)

What Dysautonomia Looks Like

I know this wonderful woman.  And guess what?  She is a medical DOCTOR.  And guess what?  Despite that fact, she received the same bad medical and psychological treatment that most dysautonomics face on their journey.  Sad that a documented illness is unknown by the majority of those in the healthcare field.  Help us to end the ignorance.  Many of us are dying while doctors sit around scratching their heads, or more commonly, throwing in the towel.  Guess what Elvis died of?  He had dysautonomia and died from a typical complication that goes with it.  You can also add Tammy Wynette to that list and most recently Brittney Murphy.  And then there are my internet friends: gone.  Help us.
