Pandemic Era Politics; favouring Charles Eisenstein’s #LivingPlanetPolitics lead
Let’s return to something better than “normal”; Only the monetary economy has crashed; The Generosity/Gift Economy is worthy of a third of your economic week as is the Timebank Economy for your Care Pension (@caredotmov).Please don’t see Coronavirus as a 1 in 100 year event; make it “The Great Turning” for “The Industrial Growth Economy” & support #CommunityDevelopment eg freelender.org
Deeply concerned, on Sunday 28th February 2021 I instigated a “3 hour Vaccination Conversation” with #StLeonardsLocalTreasureTonyMay. This was fruitful in unfolding the #VaccineHesitancy’s emotional onset & the inadequacy of the official response to such doubts.
“Try 1hr 10mins in to this recording & the following 23minutes or so; #HastingsPierFire apart, our greatest 10mins to date for opening up much needed #DialogueNotDebate, Tony May?”
(From the full film I recommend (& have asked my Political Secretary to transcribe for this blog) the twenty minutes from 1hr10mins to 1hr30mins. Please subscribe to this blog via the left hand column (in desktop view)).
Serious issues of how local politics looks to people & on what basis ghosting is approved of; just two of the “#JackieWeaver & #HandforthParishCouncil issues to be addressed in “The #MythOfTheHeartlessTory; #BeyondPolarisationInPolitics by #PaulCroslandDraftAuthor. The playlist below collects together a range of films made around the key #Handforth meetings (10th December 2020 & the infamous ...2021). I encourage you to look in particular at the sycophantic way #JackieWeaver was received on Breakfast TV & all the constructive lessons about conflict missed:.https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLM4IagQQExoyxrzjXkKEwuzNyvlO_x8jVAnd here Tony May discusses with me the conclusion of “The Myth Of The Heartless Tory”
I find the “Triratna Mantra” playlist (opening track below as YouTube film) a perfect (uplifting) start to the day. This YouTube playlist is now my usual start to the day.
I remember the #TriratnaAloka Triptych you show, which can be found in the basement shrine room of the London Buddhist Centre. When I lived there for 6 months (prior to #HastingsPierFire calling me away) our Karuna Trust #RightLivelihood team meditated for 40mins each morning in front of this Tryptich.
Now having established a role as #PaulCroslandIndependentCandidate & become clear how to build welfare in the most deprived part of SouthEast England, the time is ripe for the Tiratna Household that I’ve asked Alobhin to lead. Whilst his lead would be in establishing a harmonious Buddhist Household, mine would be in establishing the Aspiring Dr Ambedkars of St Leonards on sea (#ADAOSLOS) as effective in addressing the needs of the “downtrodden”. This #RightLivelihood project is one of the three projects dearest to my heart* - please see the #PaulCroslandAndAlobhin films to feel this palpably.
May all here be well & if you can’t be well, then I wish for you that you be strong.
* The other two projects I cultivate most carefully:
December 2020 was overwhelming for many; including me; leading to early 2021 #LockdownMentalHealthCrisis. #PaulCroslandDraftAuthor has been through the whole #BipolarWarriorCycle & undertaken a #PandemicEraReEvaluation of Projects: http://additionalinfo.blogspot.com/2020/12/the-compass-of-political-convergence.html Now the #BookOf2021 is “The #MythOfTheHeartlessTory”. (The strapline: trust those who do most to get their #PoliticalOpponents’ voices heard”).
the #BookOf2022 is oriented to attracting investors in the #FOTNS2066*;
the #BookOf2023 is #LevelUpOurLife & the #BookOf2024 (inshallah) is (provisionally) to be #PaulCroslandDraftEditor’s Collaborative #NVCplus “Magnum Opus”: “Getting #GrassrootsConvergentFacilitation To The Top”. PreOrder via donations to https://PayPal.Me/RefugeTreeWoods
Your “Best Christmas Present” both to self and others?; surely it has to be #PaulCroslandDraftAuthor’s latest?
Each winter, for the next 4 years, and then a winter off for the next General Election campaign, write a book. However I now intend to squeeze writing these 5 books before the 10th October 2024 presumed next General Election; the one about my Dad to be completed within 2 years of his (August2020) passing:
1) "The ‘Myth Of The Heartless Tory’, the ‘Would-Be Wizards of Hastings’ and the familiar cry of the Red Kite, calling for #DeeperLegitimacy #DemocracyOfNeeds”
- This book’s tuning into #3energies derives from #FreeBuddhistAudio talks about the #BuddhistSaintsInIndia by #UrgyenSangharakshita, whose book “The #ReligionOfArt” and “Mind Reactive And Creative” booklet were also seminal precursors of the extended essay in #LevelUpOurLife titled “The Religion Of Music; integrating (your inner & outer) #CreativePunk/ #CreativeHippy/ #CreativeClassicalist and live a life less reactive, for all our sakes”.
4) “2066 and all that The New Society calls us to embody”
5) “‘Judas Was Paid’; Whip-Free Accountable Mavericks in Parliament - from William Wilberforce to the ‘Independent Candidate To Come’” #WFAMIP
Under this let">YouTubeFilmlet you’ll find a Twitter link where you can post your two minute responses.
What I’m offering to unfold with each of you is what I call #FreeIntegrationTraining to meet 4 levels of need: Subsistence Needs, Freedom Needs, Community Needs & the needs relating to Meaning In (Y)our Life.
After I’ve watched and reflected on your two minute account of #BobGeldof’s life (up to his #GreatestAchievement), I will place his in the context of the #3KindsOfFaith, as a core part of #FreeIntegrationTraining and #LevelUpOurLife
The East Point Peace talk from Miki in May gave me a way that I was willing to adopt the hitherto shunned word “Patriarchy” .
In my opinion, Miki addressed the most important (non-medical) issue in the wake of the coming of the Pandemic Era (with Covid19) and here produced "The film of the year", 2020!, IMHO,
I have drawn out her key 2 minutes on Patriarchy in this blog post, in which I have Miki's East Point Peace talk embedded:
7 years ago Miki and I were on a phone conference and Miki ended up providing a rich (for me) teaching around the poem I’d written and shared with her about my sibling difficulty:
