How to Find Peace? SHTF Survival 2012

Life could be seen as a raft floating down a river on your way to the great ocean. 

We can fear getting snagged to by the bushes on the edges, be uncertain of those who ride with us and anxious of the turbulence which may lie ahead for us.

Inadvertently, in our ignorance, selfishness and panic lured by attractive little streams that promise what appears to be a shortcut or easier way. 

Naturally, unfortunately and inevitably, we always have to come back to our rightful place on the river. And, why is it somehow the stream back is never quite as alluring? 

We are not the raft, we are the river, the raft the conscience manifestation of life.

SHTF survival preppers and homesteaders unite

Seems to me if the homesteaders and preppers unite we could work together to survive what lies ahead.

Just saying, would love to start a dialogue about this.  Peace

Prepper Movement

Have you heard of this new "type" of people called preppers?

Mission Statement

Definition of a prepper:
 Prepper (noun): An individual or group that prepares or makes preparations in advance of, or prior to, any change in normal circumstances or lifestyle without significant reliance on other persons (i.e., being self-reliant), or without substantial assistance from outside resources (govt., etc.) in order to minimize the effects of that change on their current lifestyle.

This is all news to me, can you imagine my surprise?  Who'da thunk it?

Peace 

Lifetime Freely Offered

Moments of your lifetime freely offered are the most valuable currency you can share with the world. Simultaneously, each moment, each breath, each thought, all the same but unique, and all equally necessary. Each measures its portion as we entertain billions of fleeting ideas through our collective consciousness. Mere thoughts, triggered by an absurd moment, are changing the course of many lives.

Unseen moments of hope from joy, or insight from violence, can allow us to transcend negative situations. Moments of love, satisfaction, peace, trust, attraction, or inspiration can be just as life alternating as fear, outrage, or repulsion. In a mere second a new path is revealed, a veil removed; if only we had known what now we will always know.

Human Rights - Peace Freedom

Life is not a random act.  
 Genetics can distinguish us all, 
but it is the unseen spark, necessary for life,
living within us that distinguishes us all most.  
 Living has meaning and 
our existence powerful and important.   
Be true to your real identity and 
honour as paramount your internal dialogue.  

  You have the right to be here, the right to your needs, and the right to share your true self with the world.

Occupy Vancouver? 99% Peace Freedom Justice

What Is Occupy Vancouver?

Occupy Vancouver - A Non Violent Movement
for Social, Economic and Political Change

We, the Ninety-Nine Percent, come together with our diverse experiences to transform the unequal, unfair, and growing disparity in the distribution of power and wealth in our city and around the globe. We challenge corporate greed, corruption, and the collusion between corporate power and government. We oppose systemic inequality, militarization, environmental destruction, and the erosion of civil liberties and human rights. We seek economic security, genuine equality, and the protection of the environment for all.

We are inspired and in solidarity with global movements including those across the Middle East, Europe, and the Occupy Wall Street / Occupy Together movement in over 1000 cities in North America. Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.

We humbly acknowledge that Occupy Vancouver is taking place on unceded Coast Salish territories.
We are committed to an inclusive and welcoming space, to addressing issues of oppression and discrimination, and to creating an environment where all the 99% can be heard and can meaningfully participate. We are also committed to safeguarding our collective well-being – including safety from interpersonal violence and any potential police violence.




PLEASE NOTE: This is a working statement that we know will evolve as #OccupyVancouver grows and flourishes. Our demands and our dreams are not limited to this statement as we have many ideas and solutions. As stated by #OccupyTogether, no one group, person, or website could ever speak for this diverse gathering of individuals. However, the General Assembly on October 8th reached consensus to accept these broad principles as a starting point and there will be further discussion on October 15th at 10 am at the General Assembly at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
