Culture is Our Relationship to the Earth

Culture, in the modern context, often gets reduced to "arts" and literature and exoticized material production like clothing and spiritual items. This is limiting and dangerous as it allows those in the throes of modernity to sidestep equitable considerations of nature, land and people, allowing corporate control of lives and livelihoods, of land and commodified resources, making profane the sacred.

Culture is a dynamic of wholistic and integrated relationship between all things, between humans and their immediate environment, the land, nature and each other.  Modern industrial colonial society is anti-cultural and exploits and destroys the "naturo-spiritual (human) dynamic" that has defined human presence on Earth for over 3 million years. This is dangerous to all life as colonial capitalist control destroys earth and its ecosystems and organic human cultural relations.

Culture, to be progressive and positively transformative again, must be organic and based in right relationship to land, nature, peoples' basic and expanded human needs and All That Is.  Spirit is part of culture.  Animals and plants are part of culture. The Earth Her/Himself is part of culture. Any reduction, disintegration or dissolution of these interrrelationships is anti-culture, destructive and ultimately a negative expression of human potentiality.

Columbus Day Sale Business Boycott

This is a call to a general boycott of any and all companies, businesses and corporations that enact sales and promotions in the name of the oppression, genocide and colonialism embodied in the name and legacy of Criminal Columbus.  

Because of the serious and profound nature of Criminal Columbus's legacy and how it has negatively and profoundly affected the cultures and peoples of the Western Hemisphere and Africa directly and the rest of the world also, the organizations that exploit this opportunist's name and legacy must know that this  exploitation does not come without a price of its own.  

We must not allow Criminal Columbus' legacy of violence, rape and torture in the name of G-O-D and christianity to be used to sell electronics, furniture and groceries, adding disrespect and insult to the injury that Criminal Columbus set in motion in 1492 with the "blessing" of the roamin catholic papal bulls of the 1400's that defined the immoral Doctrine of Discovery that led directly to the genocide and holocaust of the indigenous peoples of Turtle Island, of south, central and north America and the enslavement and maafa/holocaust of indigenous Africans.

We call out to all merchants, retailers, store-owners, businesswomen and men to divest themselves of the legacy of Criminal Columbus, quietly or vociferously, out of a moral sense of compassion for humanity and an acknowledgement of truth and integrity beyond the mere desire to make profit based on the legacy of oppression of a pillaging butcher and torturer.  We call you to see the clarity and correctness in this heart-felt request.  Assuredly no business-owner in their right mind would have a "Hitler's Birthday Sale", so one can not understand how any such person would hold a "Columbus Day Sale" either.  No more "Columbus Day" sales and promotions!

(see list of offending companies in comments section)

"This is truly equivalent to Germany having a “Hitler Day” which is a national holiday where we’re all supposed to laud him as the “Great Conquerer” or something, with statues of him erected all over the country. This country is INSANE. Because it’s a part of the dominant culture, industrial civilization, which is killing the planet and wiping out vast, unfathomable numbers of nonhuman species and human indigenous cultures. It must be stopped."

Please, be free to use the above photograph in spreading the word about this boycott intended to extend throughout the year, but at least as long as the offending companies and businesses promote their sales in the name of Criminal Columbus.

Post the above or similar photos/images/flyers along with the names of the local and national companies that align themselves with the legacy of this genocidal opportunist.  Let these companies and owner know that they must find better ways and more creative ways of promoting their products and businesses than in such a way that disrespects the cultures and histories of so many.

Condor and Eagle Prophecy - youtube

The prophecy of the Condor and Eagle is a powerful message become real as we look upon the imbalance in the science and industry overdrive of the Eagle north and the nature/heart/spirit/mind/body orientation of the Condor south. I submit to you this youtube video that puts it in perspective. There are more like it there and many places to find out about this prophecy.



Many important issues are raised with this prophecy. Many discussions are yet to be had, especially in the USAmerican culture. The ramifications of this prophecy are not limited to the western hemisphere. There are global implications as the world moves through this challenging period of the faltering of industrial globalization in the face of climate change and environmental destruction and the promise of an indigenous-led spiritual/social/political renewal that marks the period of unified indigeny and revolutionary energetics.

Indigeny and Energetics - Historical Framework

This table describes the general and fluid timeline for the three main historical periods of indigeny and energetics. Exact years of demarcation are not as important as the ramifications of the functional dynamics of these time periods. The table is provided mainly to illustrate the progression of these periods and to identify the timeline. The table content is provided below for better reading.


.......................................

Sovereign Indigeny:
society internally directed and developed on familial land masses, communalism, organic communications systems Evolutionary Energetics:
spiritual technologies created and developed in tune with natural environment; use of ritual, herbology, vibrational/ energy healing techniques

Evolutionary Energetics:
spiritual technologies created and developed in tune with natural environment; use of ritual, herbology, vibrational/ energy healing techniques

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Disintegrated Indigeny:
society effected by increasingly globalized capitalism, cultural norms and traditions subverted and repressed, the machine age is borne out of capitalist demand for control of resources and over-production, globalization of mass communications technology and sub-cultural dissemination, environmentalism emerges as a political force

Devolutionary,
Revolutionary Energetics:
spiritual technologies supplanted with alien religious/ideological content, radical shifts in relations to natural environment & human health practices;
beginnings of reestablishment of and reeducation to traditional thought and practice, wholism, cultural compositing

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unified Indigeny:
Traditional Indigeny resurfaces in newly organized and interdependent, democratic structures, communalism and socialism, organic communications systems aided by digital communications technology;
(Organization of African Unity, International Indian Treaty Council, Organization of American States, Cultural Survival, New England Aboriginal Council – organizational examples of attempts at or movements of or toward unified indigeny and/or socio-political unification)

Revolutionary Energetics:
universal expressions of Indigenous Spiritual Technologies (Some’ et al); cultural compositing; naturo-spiritual/humanist traditions reestablished deepening concepts of wholism, adding external nature dynamic to concept of mind/body/spirit connection

g Definitions of some of the above terms (i.e., cultural compositing) will be provided in a later post. Be free to email me or post questions here. Thank you.
