Timothy Leary on the Wall Street Occupation Movement


Timothy Leary Foresaw the Wall Street Occupation

"In one of his last published writings, Timothy Leary foresaw the current generation of youth making use of the exploding technology of new communication software and devices to challenge the control exerted by centralized governments and corrupt institutions. The following was written in 1990 and revised in 1994."

The Storm










I will say something about heyokas and the heyoka ceremony, which seems to be very foolish, but is not so. Only those who have had visions of the thunder beings of the west can act as heyokas. They have sacred power and they share some of this with all the people, but they do it through funny actions. When a vision comes from the thunder beings of the west, it comes with terror like a thunder storm; but when the storm of vision has passed, the world is greener and happier; for wherever the truth of vision comes upon the world, it is like a rain. The world, you see, is happier after the terror of the storm. (Black Elk, 1932:192)






I stand in the eye
and see out.
I live in the heart
and know all that lives
lives for me
and so I sing
from my body
that is also a spirit
and I laugh
and I give thanks
in return for my miracles

I am a child of All that Is.
I surrender my love, my life, my will to the most high creation of Light and Truth and Power.

May all beings know themselves as Creator and may we all Create in Peace, as Peace, as Love.

Heyoka a hey0 hey-na!

Buddha - Scorpio Moon [doubled]

This is shared by a friend; I am totally in and invite you to join:

You are invited to join in a magical ritual.....

The last time this happened, the Egyptians were
building the pyramids......

Now it is our turn....

This next month, starting tonight, is astrologically
EXTREMELY special, as the full moon will appear twice
in a row in Scorpio, an event that happens about once
every few thousand years, and even rarer in this
sign.

In some traditions, this moon is called the Buddha
Moon, and we get to experience it twice!

Once in April, once in May.

In honor of the Earth's enlightenment.......

First, the astronomy part:

Every month, the full moon comes along and sits in the
zodiac sign that is opposite where the sun is. So if
the sun is in Taurus, like it is now, the moon is in
Scorpio. If the sun were in Cancer, the moon would be
in Capricorn, etc.

So every month, the sun changes zodiac signs, and the
moon goes along with it.

But not this month. This lunar cycle takes place in
Scorpio for the next 2 full moons in a row!

WOW!

Ok, but what does that mean?

Well, if you are willing to get a little witchy with
me here, Scorpio is the zodiac sign that stands at
the doorway to the unseen. That is why it is the sign
of magic (and sex too in many traditions), and mystery
traditions.

So essentially, if you want to ride on the
astrological bandwagon, there is an INCREDIBLE window
open for manifestation and transmutation of energy,
since scorpio moves between realms, and can transmute
poison to nectar.

Tonight is the first full moon of the pair, and the
next one is in 28 days.

So I am inviting all my friends (and your friends) to
do a daily candlelight evening meditation to manifest
our dreams, and the kind of planet we want to be
living on globally, locally, and personally. Let's
use this window right!

The commitment, if you are in, is a 10 minute seated
meditation before bed each night. In honor of the
lunar energy, we can sit each night and call upon the
kind of world we want to see for the next 28 days till
the 2nd Scorpio moon.

The idea is:

Use the time to love the Earth and bless her (Isn't it
wonderful Earth Day falls in the midst of this
window?)

And visualize peace in the war torn places, and the
environment recovering. Literally SEE it. Visualize
lots of happy green plants!

And see our government turning around in any way you
feel called.

And also see the kind of joy and love and fulfillment
you would like in your own life.

And take a moment to connect with the amazing Scorpio
full moon, the Buddha full moon of enlightenment.

This is an incredible time to work through any old
patterns that are holding us back personally and
collectively. Remember the hundredth monkey? We can
do it now....

Open to the divine light, in yourself, and in this
glorious moonlight.

Honor the moths, that you might notice are everywhere
right now. The moths are the creatures of intuition
and feminine radiance. Honoring the feminine, we are
nurtured, and loved by the Goddess.

Let's invoke the Goddess together!

Any other rituals you feel inspired to create are so
welcome, and so needed at this time. Make up your
own! Invite friends!

**

Please pass this along to anyone you would like to
invite into the meditation train. The more of us that
participate, the stronger the energy is of what we are
manifesting.

Breathe love in...... Breathe love out.....

Your friend,
Kaia

Reflections on The Women's Congress

(from the Wilbur Hot Springs Newsletter)

Dear Friends of Wilbur. . . This past weekend I was fortunate to be one of a handful of men, warmly referred to as “our male allies,” who were invited to join approximately 80 women for The Women’s Visionary Congress: Consciousness, Healing and Social Justice, held at Wilbur Hot Springs (see visionarycongress.org). I listened, learned, laughed and cried as remarkable women, from around the country, representing all sizes, shapes, colors, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic strata, told stories from their hearts about living and dying, presented scientific findings, and formed a community of concerned citizens all dedicated to making the world a place where consciousness may expand, healing may occur, and love may flourish . e For me one of the most emotionally moving lectures was presented by Angel Raich, a 41-year-old mother of two, former Republican from Stockton, who recently went before the Supreme Court of the United States in hopes of being granted permission to use cannabis to treat her many life-threatening illnesses including an inoperable brain tumor, life-threatening wasting syndrome, and seizure disorder. The Supreme Court turned her down with a 6-3 vote (visit angeljustice.org for more information). Suffice it to say that listening to this heroic human being left no dry eyes in the room, and as I allowed myself to resonate with her my body convulsed with sobbing. Another moving and highly articulate presentation which provided me with well-needed laughs was made by Carolyn “Mountain Girl” Garcia, an historic and legendary figure, who rode with Neal Cassidy, of “On the Road” fame, was an original Merry Prankster with Ken Kesey, a wife to Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia, acclaimed author and teacher, and an inner space traveler of epic proportions. She is a tribal elder in every good sense of the word. The list of other presenting and attending luminaries is so long that I refer you to the easily accessible web sites which you can reach at visionarycongress.org. Some of the lectures included such topics as: Anthropological Research on Mind States in Other Cultures; Use of Entheogens While Dying; Social Activism for Women of Poverty and Color; and, Ways in Which the American Civil Liberties Union Makes its Decisions on Which Causes to Support. Rarely did I hear anyone voicing arguments against anyone or anything. This was a congress of proactive, open-hearted adults who came together to share important information and support their mutual causes of dignity and respect for all. The Women’s Visionary Congress was graciously, articulately and seamlessly produced by Annie Harrison who assured us that audio and video versions will soon be available on the internet. Logistical and financial support was provided by Rick Doblin and the MAPS staff, and by Black Swan and the Cygnets. Exquisite multi-national cuisine was provided by Dog Star Catering, yoga classes and kirtan by Sarana Miller (see saranayoga.com). The cooperation of everyone involved made this an educational experience of significant proportions. I would be remiss if I missed giving special thanks to John Gilmore, a behind-the-scenes Renaissance man with a brilliant mind and generous heart. I am looking forward to hearing from those of you who call in with something to say on my radio program – 707-964-1205. Visit KZYX.org. You can also email me (DrRichardLMiller@aol.com) and I will read your comments on the air.
