The Coming Few Days

 Please forgive me, I waited ten days to publish this.


 We, here on Earth, have both a massive inbound plasma stream and a low-density high speed stream the result of Sun Spot Radiation converging on Earth. It is a great kickoff for change. We will all eventually "see the light", but for now, let's just say that more and more people are waking up to the reality that no matter how much you want a lie to be true, it can't change the facts. Something many of us have known for a long time is that we are an integral part of nature. Many more become aware of that fact each day. The age of ignoring that we are one and pretending that human beings are somehow divorced from or alien to nature is dying. We are at a time in history where the truth must be accepted. Humans must evolve intellectually as well as in their hearts. The death rattle of ignorance can be heard and seen by watching and listening to the commentary of the shriveling third of the population who thought that Donald John Trump would "fix" our nation. As we speak, they are becoming disillusioned. Many of the problems we face are actually created, supported and solutions confounded by oligarchs who wield far too much power in our democracy. These challenges are directly influencing the environment and virtually every square foot of our planet has some evidence of human beings and the lack of integrity we see in our leaders. 

We now know, through scientific work that we are indeed part of Earth's natural systems. We also know that we have the power to change our environment. Civilizations have come and gone before us and they will certainly come and go after us. It is interesting to imagine human life and our populations rising and falling, like breaths of a ubiquitous beast or individual flecks of animated lichen, scattered across a stark rock face. Our civilizations mimic the other cycles of life on the planet. Interestingly some still think they can conquer nature. Those who think nuclear energy is the answer to our energy woes or that we can subdue the soil, forcing it to produce massive harvests of calories while dosing the soil with poison, these are the beliefs that hurt all of us for the benefit of a select few of us. 

This period, over a week ago now, we had more than an average amount of energy coming in from our closest star. Whether we or how we channel that energy for good, as investment in the now and it pays dividends in the future, the more we will see benefits accrue moving forward. Like with water spouts, we can direct energies that surround, permeate and move through our bodies to work in harmony and resonance with Mother Nature, our fellow creatures and the other members of the natural world. Our cycles can be her cycles. Sometimes it only takes a very brief moment of centering to see a more grand pattern of interaction.
 

In an earlier post, I describe the Square Foot Ecotour. I still use it daily, in a variety of places to help me to understand my location more fully. I often use it to center myself amid tumult. We are at the earliest Spring Planting date in our unheated greenhouse. The season to give back to Mother Earth is in full swing. Let us know if you would like to be part of the healing. We have frequent biochar classes and love sharing more than twenty-five years of experience to help people to successfully double crop production, increase CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity), reduce the need for irrigation and fertilization, please let us know. We offer our students comprehensive information about how to utilize biochar to the greatest degree and to benefit whatever your growing systems and cultural practices are. You can e-mail: biocharmaster@gmail.com or reach out to our Director, Tony C. Saladino through facebook.

When Will We Know?

 msicsaF fo sngiS (don't read this backward)

Using Secret Police (or anonymous terrorist agents)
Denying Human Rights
Controlling Education
Stealing Elections
Using Military Against Civilians
Denying Reality-Constant Lies
Controlling Media
Re-writing History
Appointing Incompetent Loyalists
Rejecting Election Results
Ignoring Due Process
Normalizing Corruption
Using Fear to Gain Power
Labeling Minorities as Enemies
Blaming Other for Their Failures
Claiming to be Persecuted While in Positions of Power and Influence.

When the facts are in, and one chooses to not look away, it can really take the wind out of our sails. I've been along for the ride like all of you. What can we do about it?
Well, the citizens of Minneapolis stood together to oppose the secret police. Two our of tens of thousands paid the ultimate price for what they believed in. Their deaths, as terrible as they remain have led to many, many more American Citizens seeing through the lies we are told on an hourly basis. The tragic lesson all of these traits bring to our attention is that we have allowed our Democratic Values to be undermined by a greedy and hateful few. We are living under a system of taxation without representation right now. The very thing we fought a Revolution over. 

This 250th Anniversary of our nation should not be the swan song of an idea but a re-invigorating threshold to a better nation, one free of malice and selective prosecution (or lack of justice for some...) We need to see through the process of creating a more perfect union and make clear what our government is meant to protect us from as well as what it can offer us when we all work together for positive change. I keep calling and writing legislators and speaking out for new candidates that have ideas about a future we can all believe in. Bernie Sanders has not been wrong yet. When the current guy in charge opens his mouth you know it will be a lie and frequently one designed as an insult.
