Speaking Up for Little People

April 23, 2013 at 1:00 am · Filed under contraction~expansion

We’re all small in some way, and we all need to be spoken for sometimes.  So I’ve written a new children’s book that is really all for you!

This book supports human beings, and other people, in finding a healthy, compassionate, loving, and fun way to deal with anger and sadness and fear, through storytelling and drama and, believe it or not, composting, too!  It’s got some of my favorite photographs in it, of some of the beautiful people, places, and things I’ve discovered in the world, as well as some very interesting people, places, and things that I’ve entirely invented.  I truly hope that this book both delights and inspires many individuals all over the planet, and helps many people find ways to heal some of the pain that they’ve been going through.  The world can really use some healing these days, can’t it?

A free, high quality printable PDF (28 mb!) of the book is available for download.

An $8 professionally printed paperback book is also available for purchase at Amazon.

The same professionally printed paperback book is also available from me, in person, with a sliding scale donation option for those who want to pay more or less than the retail prive of $8.  (Email me at TheWiseTurtle on gmail if you want to try to organize picking up copies from me directly.)

My goal is to help every parent, teacher, counselor, and kid who wants to support kids in finding ways to use their negative emotions for positive effect, through storytelling.  And my hope is that everyone else might find some benefit to the book as well, either by reading it and creating their own stories that transform their negative emotions into positive ideas, or by simply living in a world where more people are inspired to do this.

Namaste.

love pulls us forward into a better place

February 14, 2013 at 3:31 pm · Filed under contraction~expansion

Growth always comes when we’re aiming for something more good, true, beautiful, and/or inspiring. When we have a loving place to move into, we can expand and become our whole, best selves.

Trying to push yourself into a space that isn’t made for you, specifically, will only end up with pain, for everyone. Thus, we know the best path to take in life is the one that naturally pulls us forward into a space that fits our unique self comfortably and lovingly.

So follow your heart, and you’ll always end up where the universe most needs you to be, creating the most joy for everyone.

I wish you well in connecting with your heart and allowing it to be pulled to where it’s most welcome and wanted and valued.

Paths

June 21, 2012 at 10:51 am · Filed under contraction~expansion

Every unique individual in the universe is fulfilling a unique path through the geometry of reality, coloring in just one yarn-like string of puzzle piece of the pattern that is all of creation.

Sometimes the squiggles, wobbles, knots and other strange detours we take in life are seemingly unexplainable on a surface level, but we can know, deep down, that every mental and physical exploration we go on, even if it seems totally far away from our overall journey in life, is necessary, for the universe to be fully complete, in all it’s infinite expansion of creativity, beauty, and awe.

I respect your detours, and look forward to seeing your whole journey, and enjoy all the times your path and mine join.

my gifts to you

April 23, 2012 at 6:20 am · Filed under contraction~expansion

The best gifts I can offer to you

I offer you freedom. Freedom to be who you are. Freedom to do what you need to do, when you need to do it, as much as is humanly possible. I can offer you this because I see how all of the universe, and all the elements within the universe, including you and me, have a unique path that we each must take as the universe, through us, explores itself fully. Your path might not be one that anyone alive could predict, and it might be extremely challenging and painful, or very easy and joyful, or somewhere in between, but it is a path that must be taken, in order for the universe to be fully realized. All possible paths must be taken, so that the universe can be complete, whole, and perfect.

So, yes, I offer you the freedom to take that path which you must take, to be whomever the universe needs you to be.

I respect your path in life, whatever it might be.

I also offer you as much love and support in aiming for your dreams. You deserve to get everything you need to continue to clarify and move towards your highest ideals for what you want to be able to create in the world.

I respect your ideals in life, whatever they might be.

And finally, I offer you my best ability to understand who you are and what you want in life. Because no matter who and what that is, it comes from the core desire that all living beings have to grow and learn and create new and beautiful and valuable things for the future generations.

I respect you and all that you do, whatever that might be.

These are my greatest gifts to you, fully and freely, as much as humanly possible.

Government Prime Directive

February 21, 2012 at 2:56 pm · Filed under contraction~expansion

Here’s a slight modification to my Human Prime Directive, to be used as a government self-defining policy. This puts the basic Human Prime Directive in context, as the law of government output, with the government’s own inputs, outputs, and conflict/problem-solving intentions as the total three elements of a “Government Prime Directive”. The following is a general description of the Earth/Government Prime Directive. (For a larger version of the diagram above, describing the directive, click on the image and it will open in a new window.)

Eliminate all current laws, and create only the following laws:

1. Input: Government can collect resources only through donations.

2. Output: Government can only use collected resources to serve three things, individual material input needs, output needs, and social interaction (balance) needs, specifically: access to the basic physical needs for humans and any other individuals who appear to want help – the needs for humans being inputs of high quality food, water, air, warmth, light, and outlets for individuals’ solid, liquid, gas, and energy outputs – along with the option of win-win mediation and problem solving for any conflicts that arise for any individuals, human and otherwise, with a goal of balance and equality of access to basic needs.

3. Balance: Government solves it’s own problems of how to serve these needs by collecting data about the individual needs from all who are interested in “voting” using open polls where individuals’ needs are recorded, at the level of detail that the individuals choose, in a publicly readable database, and also collects solutions about how to provide these needs in a separate publicly editable database, and then offers government resources to individuals and groups based on the solutions that the communities and individuals choose to use.

All organization/organisms are fractal, so a larger galactic government could have the Earth’s system as one of the individuals it serves, just as each of us humans is one of the individuals our Earth government serves.
