www.EarthRainbowNetwork.com is one of those portal sites about peace work from a new age perspective. I discovered it yesterday when I was doing some peace research and was very impressed with how the information was organized.
They also have a newsletter which I think I will check out and at the same time start a bookmark heirarchy of folders so that I can filter and build up a collection of dots which I feel will collect into a bigger picture unique to myself. I'm thinking of it as an experiment in using wetware indexes for alchemical distallation of the noosphere. More >

The Canadian parliament has started up for another season with the first minority government in twenty five years. The good news is that nothing radical is likely to happen out of fear that a vote of nonconfidence will trigger an early election; the down side is that a lot of time will be wasted and nothing at all will be accomplished.
This morning I heard a letter I wrote read on the CBC radio. They even pronounced my name correctly. It sounded good and felt good. Next step is to get a petition started. I hope this flies.
Greetings Anna Maria Tremonti
Intention and perspective are two of the most important aspects of reaching a common ground where it is possible to cooperatively work together. Think of the shift in attitude that would occur if we were to officialy change the name from "The Official Opposition" to "The Official Other Hand."
It has a touch of that Canadian humor that would lead to wide transmission. More importantly it would be a constant reminder that members of parliament are expected to work cooperatively towards the citizen's best interests, instead of the adversarial partisan politics which often does nothing but set the stage for pretentious ego battles leading to loggerheads.

Earth Dance was on Saturday Sept 18th and it was expected that more than a million people from 120 different cities, in 30 countries would simultaneosly join together in a spiral dance to pray for peace and unite the whole world through the universal platform of music and dance. Sounded like a good idea.
Here in Vancouver it rained hard the night before, and when I woke up it was overcast and the radio was saying that we could expect rain all day long. This made me think it would be a good day to hunker down inside with a good book and take a rest from the run around week I had just been through. But then when I went to the bookcase to get a book, I discovered the Sept edition of Shared Vision magazine which was a bit of a surprise since I had been looking for it the night before. I opened it up and there was a big advertisement for the Earth Dance and I changed my mind once again, got the rain gear on and walked down to Stanley Park.
It was a nice walk, and the rain wasn't that hard, and I held a positive attitude and kept thinking of the concept of composure. I had just finished reading how there was an experiment, world wide once again, to measure the universal energy and see if it was possible for collective intention to affect matter. This was organized by the Light Workers. So this was foremost on my mind as I walked down there along with good intent, and making my choice and visualizing the type of world that I wanted and the changes that I would have to make within myself to realize this. It brought back memories of the Equinox drumming event that was here in 2001 when there were 1500 drummers using conscious intention to create a second singularity, to counter the singularity of the 9/11, and to turn it from a black hole that sucked us all in, to a pair of chaotic attractors that would enable the change into the future. On that day we laid down a spiritual grid, opened the Mayan gate of the North, and had an incredibly great day in the process. So now it was the fourth equinox coming up and although it occurs at 9:30 AM on Sept 22nd the events here in Vancouver seem to be stretched over a week long period that straddle that date. As I walked down to the Earth Dance I thought this was the start of the equinox week.
Stanley Park is a very pretty place and the rain was making everything nice shades of green, and the air smelled fresh. I was getting close to the event location around about 3:00 and the closer I got the better I was feeling. Then there was a bit of break in the clouds and I was in sunshine even though it was still raining, it was a very nice effect. Joy is taking over now and I'm slipping into that goofy smile, tears running down my cheeks state. The hole in the clouds continued to grow and soon it was blue sky overhead so now it was sunny and without rain. There were clouds on the horizon for 360 degrees but the sun shone on us. The hip hop DJs were riffing off on how we had pushed back the clouds and stopped the rain and brought out the sun, and we all could see that it was indeed the case. I was so glad that I had come down afterall.
More people started to come down. Perhaps they planned to be there for the 4:00 start and not the earlier start, but there were more coming. I think that many changed their mind when they saw that there was blue sky over Stanely Park. Just before the 4:00 start we gathered in an open field just off to the side of where we were all dancing. I don't know how many people were there but we formed a circle about 80 metres in diameter and standing fairly close together so that we could hold hands and still have them raised high in the air, that would have been a few hundred. Plus there were a couple dozen drummers that weren't in the spiral dance circle. We all heard the connect signal on the PA and the peace prayer and it was good, there were smiles everywhere and we felt like we had made a connection to a greater good.
It was a good day. On the walk home I had renewed hope and knew that we were going to make it through this and the story of what we did here on Earth would be a best seller on planets throughout the universe. Publishing house Earth had a best seller on their hands. Hang on tight, it's gonna be a wild ride and we ain't seen nothing yet, but you know it will be the greatest story ever told.
Yup, I feel like Vancouver is where I am supposed to be and the grand plan is unfolding all according to plan. Love and joy to you all.

Weapons in Space Protest Cards
Son of Star Wars is still moving ahead regardless of how many reports that come out that not only will it not work but that it will cost a lot of money which we cannot afford now, as if we ever could. A couple of days ago Canadian member of parliament was chastised for using the phrase not to join in with "The Coalition of the Idiots" in reference to Canada joining the weapons in space initiative. Insuring that Canada stays out of this lunacy is a very reasoanble response that provokes a bit of passion in being heard and considered. Prime Minister Martin made an election promise not to involve Canada in this, and our best insurance against terrorism is not to be accessories to the americans.
The two stanzas that follow are designed to be printed on business size cards. These are memetic word crafts that use the All Your Base craze as a carrier. Align the front and back of the cards so that they share a common top edge and flip along the vertical axis such as turning the pages of a book; this will facilitate the wrap around end effects of the mobius linear lingual. Small batches can be lazer printed, or printed up as business cards for handouts at protests and demonstrations.
all sleepers awake to the paul revere alarm
your being run by cabal with intent of harm
base thoughts and deed on what you remember
are they same as mass media truth dismember
belong by joining emerging underground race
to put a stop to plans for weapons in space
us and earth rise up to preserve this place
mr alarmist sets christian god against alla
mr ahimsa abhors anguish caused by destruoy
reb meme rejuvenate the old fables of aesab
reb mems identify with the hopes of new era
e-cars on virtual web drafting a diagnol eb
ecapsulating what should be seen but is not
ec alpine retreat where g8 courts ch and su
It will be interesting to see if and where these will materialize. The blog with its syndication and mail page feature makes forwarding easy. If it follows the trend of other meme packages it will go through variations. One way to do this is to hotlink the words on a website. Another way is to collect and track card sightings. Expect the unexpected. More >

Canada's Parrish Attacks U.S. Coalition of `Idiots,' CP Says
Aug. 25 (Bloomberg) -- A Canadian Member of Parliament known for her anti-U.S. statements attacked what she calls ``idiots'' advocating a North American missile defense shield, the Canadian Press reported.
Carolyn Parrish, a Liberal Party member from Ontario who last year publicly called Americans ``bastards,'' is opposed to Canadian participation in a proposed U.S.-led missile defense system in space, the wire service said.
``We are not joining the coalition of the idiots,'' she told a gathering of people opposed to the missile defense plan outside of the House of Commons in Ottawa, according to the report. ``We should be joining the coalition of the wise,'' she said in the report.
Prime Minister Paul Martin later criticized Parrish, saying ``that kind of language'' wasn't appropriate in the debate over missile defense, the wire service reported. More >
