Your dollar is your vote.

Thats right. Internalize that.


Disillusioned with the political process? Understandable. Reform will come when true democratic participation is encouraged using the best tools we have available to disseminate and harness collective opinion (i wonder what tool we have now thats being underutilized for this purpose?)


Your real opportunity to effect economic change in your every day life is with your dollar..


Every time you spend a dollar on ANYTHING, you are supporting an individual, a group of individuals, or a corporate entity perpetrate their idea/product/service/values system.


Every time you fill up gas in your car, you are supporting Chevron and EVERYTHING that they do in the world. If you buy a shirt from Old Navy and they support child labor and dump chemicals into rivers, you are supporting them. Period.


Every vegetable you buy at the supermarket. Every roll of toilet paper. Every piece of non-recyclable plastic that ends in your garbage can, you chose to buy with your dollar. No-one forced you, no-one twisted your arm. YOU chose.


Your dollar is your vote, our vote. I truly believe that our economic system is intended to be a reflection of our collective conscious (or unconscious). Our wants/needs predicated off our values systems.

As soon as our values change, our consciousness shifts, so does the economy. It has to.

Of course, the underlying economic philosophies created hundreds of years ago which still carry through to today are hugely resistant to change. We have created a behemoth of a system which no-one really understands, not bernanke himself.


It is almost commonly known now that the central banking system is a gigantic scam, that as always, a group of highly intelligent, educated and wealthy individuals set out to create an institution for power, domination and control that only the elite could truly understand (after they were so far in they didn't have an out). When it gets to the point of swapping 10's of trillions of dollars of backings on bad credit on the open market (CDS), you know somethings gone bad..


So how do we make a change? We begin with understand the nature of money, its root. What it REALLY is... a representation of energy flow.


If thats the case, what is the source of this flow, and where am i redirecting it in my own life? I find it interesting how today's youth don't bat an eyelid about dropping hundreds of dollars at a club, buying the latest gear and clothes, but have no clue about where that money is going and don't seem to care.

Man these guys have done a good job at brainwashing us, we don't even ask the basic, obvious questions anymore.

We Spend our whole lives

We Spend our time

We spend our days, hours, minutes

What are we SPENDING it on?

(The word spend is starting to sound funny now, i love it when that happens...spend:)

Where.. WHERE pray tell me, does this money derive its value from? Gold? Hard Assests? Our economic predictions? I mean, after all.. what IS fiat money? Money by government order? So it means something because they say it means something... does that mean its up for debate? Is the end of that rope the barrel of the gun? What if i say it isn't...


Will i get brutally repressed, laughed at, murdered or quelled? Or will i be dismissed..


Truth be told, it won't matter whether i say it is or isnt now, for in about 3 years time, the world will truly see what a farce our economy has been for the last 100 years. People can make it easy for themselves now by harnessing the power of their local communities, organizing collective buying networks that support organization with value statements and ethics that are alligned with theirs, growing their own food and protecting/taking ownership of their provinces natural resources. Building shared knowledge communities, hoarding real wealth (Seed Banks, Canned Foods, Precious Metals) and


Understand that in the end, its food, water, nature, shelter... and us, the laborers. The entreprenuers, the bots and the sheep.


Where does your food come from? Is it sustainable? Who is out there creating sustainable agriculture and how do i support them?


Where does my water come from? Are their current plans that are attacking me and my childrends access to this precious resource, and what can i do about this. (Canadians, British Colombians, look into the IPP's if you haven't already. Scary Stuff)


How can i protect what natural resources are in my province? (Old Growth Forests are a big one)


How do we harness the power of sustainable living? Who is there to help us?

And of course, as the title of this article says, where do i SPEND my dollar. My time. My life.



We are going to go through/are going through a huge transition phase. We are rapidly becoming aware of our manipulation, the horrors of our old industrial paradigm, and the light of a new future. The light is there, shining. What we need now are transition models to bridge us to that place of harmony. Don't be discouraged if you don't have all the answers, just try to be aware.


The biggest danger is that we allow ourselves to slip into the unconscious because its easier. Its easier not to think about the plastic you just bought, or where those bag of chips came from and whether they are supporting your values, but it is neccesary. I just bought a book off amazon, and it was a complete waste. It was a book about building websites from 1996! I thought of the total sum of energy+wrapping it took to get that book to me, and it was a waste of energy.

As i said, money represents a flow of energy. So does everything, in the end. In a macrocontext, we live in a system of energy cycles, with our only source of external replenishment being the sun (back to horus worship boys!)

Water cycles, carbon cycles, energy cycles. This is the fundamental principal of living systems "One of the most fascinating things about nature is that you can go into a forest, take a sample size of any area of the forest. Measure the energy in that sample size, and come back a year later and measure it again, and its exactly the same"

God, Gaea, Mother Nature, has created an amazing system for recycling planetary energy to create a harmonious living cycle that supports and nurtures life on the planet. We, in our arrogance, completely disconnected through our minds from living cycles, have waged a bitter war on nature, and attempted to thwart through unconsciousness, the natural cycles prevelant in nature.

No longer. You have woken up, have you not? Instead of being confused about how to "go green", measure your life according to your cycle within living systems.

Essentially, ask yourself if you use more energy from the earth than you give back, and how to support it. As soon as you begin asking these critical questions, you will see how important it is as an individual to reformat your choices to live sustainably. At the moment, its difficult, because this burgeoning awareness has only begun to enter the collective consciousness, thus being relfected by our economy. However, as more people hop on the bandwagon so to speak, it will actually prove much more cost effective in the long term to live sustainably. We will create co-operative buying networks that only support business that meet a shared value and ethical statement decided upon by the cooperative.

If you get a chance, check out the work of Carrotmob. They are on the right track, with alot of room to grow and expand. The idea is there, the economic transition model is clear.


Hopefully through my work, i can make this process easier. You will see some of my plans in the future blogs. If any of my ideas strike a chord within you, take them. They are yours, i am publishing them. I will publish idea's regularly on incredible business enterprises that are waiting to happen. Its not about me anymore, or about a monetary incentive. The motive has changed.. and thats where the true power resides. In the Motive, which determines the action.


More on that in the next blog:)

The Gong strikes Saturn

I just returned from a beautiful evening on the Sunshine Coast, with David Hicky creating an experience of sound and vibration that brings you on a deep journey into the nature of your reality, your past.. the recorded images and frames, deriving from our experience which form as the lego blocks of our earthly personality...

Vibrations that resonate on the frequency of planets, the sounds of creation before life began, plucked from the fabric of the infinite by hosts of delightful weavers.

Every age and generation, somehow progressing; adapting, evolving; physically and metaphysically..

All of these ideas, bouncing around inside of the collective consciousness.. we give voice to them and hope they resonante. Pinballs shooting out sporadically, bouncing off every near wall.. how many points/people does the ball hit before it falls back into the launchpad, waiting for another player.

So here is where i start my Blog

As one of these Pinballs.. shooting into the global brain, indexed through meta-tagging and relevancy to see if another being finds this information pertinant, or relevent somehow to their path.. these words, portals into my world, my reality, and yours.

My path seems to embody a polarity of experience; the deep desire and longing for god, the direct experience with our unity consciousness and the ultimate path to liberation and self realization on one pole.. swinging down to the material, sensual and carnal aspirations of our physical reality..

It is a beautiful mix, a dazzling interplay from 'moment' to 'moment'.. and i am fortunate to be a witness to myself.

The Mind Creates an Image

Who is there behind them, weaving them together with fine thread.. smelting them into transluscent glass.. compacting them into crystals to create a pattern of movement.

My eyes experience a frame-rate, a contrast ratio, hyper-pixelating our luminous field into a linear array

I want to lie in the cosmic bed with my omnipresent eye, watching 'reality' in motion. But the stage is not for now, maybe later on in this life.

Currently, my path tends towards increasing the coherency of the global brain, allowing our collective intelligence to manifest in technologies created with a high frequency consciousness. Where intellect and the web meets our conscious evolution.

Much of what you will read in this blog is a collection of my ideas, worldviews and beliefs.. my learned knowledge and personal direct experience culminating through my unique channel.. exploding into the void in this. form.

welcome, to my heart and my mind.
