I went to the rainbow serpent festival. I am so grateful for that festival. Huge discussion groups where EVERYONE understood the meaning of, consciousness, golden ratio, fractional reserve, personal reality/perception and the value of open honesty. I felt at home. I could literally start a conversation with any random person out of the 5000 people or so, just say "hey brother/sister" and off you go.
I discussed the idea of opensource religion and reality based religion (as two different things). it was very difficult to discuss because neither really constitutes a religion... But people really liked the concept that i presented particularly in how it could unify various social movements. so I have a list of email addresses from influential people, *proud*. The challenge is to... create a foundational structure (fancy that) and then get back to these guys.
I even met the girl that i've been waiting for. She actually meets my entire list of unreasonable criteria. Except she's a science major graduate not a philosophy major graduate but that actually works out much better. She came to me because she enjoyed my input in the discussions, (actually, heaps of people were thanking me and complimenting me) she was attracted to my mind instead of my animal magnetism. we must have been the only 2 in that whole place who hadn't used any illicit drugs. absolute instant connection. Such a powerful soul, such a radiant beauty. *gush*
Argh, why are my posts always so long on this site? I blame Gary's influence. lol

Good for you Mk...falling in love, connecting with people, spreading ideas, being in love, give yourself a month so you can concentrate again.lol
Hope your new connections evolve. I'd appreciate being part of that(once I'm over this bloody flu).
Appreciate

OH NO! the flue sux! You know, i havn't had a flu in about 6 years. I'm sure that once i realized that my immune system was built of tiny individual living creatures, they all became more alive and more efficient. Actually, ive had no viral infections for those 6 years...
This girl is totally on my same wavelength, (despite being 7 years younger), she has increased my focus! but yeah, my concentration sure has slipped especially when driving... nice observation gary.
I'm beginning to build a picture in my head about "what needs to be done" to bring my vision into being and i now understand that if i want it to be then i need to do it my way and not fear failure and not fear rejection. my concern has been that i have no right to take authority but now i understand that i have absolute authority over my own ability to create. its up to others if they want to join in. my ideals dont stand up in an unideal world and so i have to compromise. I've met people who have empowered me and are in a small way, relying on me, and then there's this girl... It'll take me some time, but soon you will see what ive been carrying on about and hopefully you will be inspired.
*edit* and it would mean so much to me if you (gary) were involved. Your down-to-earthiness is incredible, your perspective is of immense value to my vision. The slow plod of development between active members aswell as the input of previous members, Marcs hard work and the whole CoR community and concept really has given me the confidence that the dream I've had since a kid is possible. A world where no question goes unanswered and where rational, reasonable, logical, empathetic, conscious and intentional effort is held in high regard rather than "head down, bum up" "keep it simple" and "it's just the way it is".

"that i have no right to take authority ", no way, you concerned about authority...LOL.
That's wonderful MK and I agree doing it with yourself in mind is a necessary condition (the "I" part), being authoritative is just what happens.
In my business I use consultants regularly, I ask for their services at specific times over specific issues. I never let them in too far. They aren't there for general review. The rest of the project, frankly, is none of their business. I manage them, they don't manage me.
If you want, I would gladly serve in that capacity for your goals. I know you well enough to offer my support without conditions.
Support

I am immensely grateful for your support! It is quite empowering. i have the deepest respect for you. your attitude is admirable and your method of "right with reality" or "I do reality" is both fundamental and paramount to what I wish to express. We agree on those concepts even if we disagree on terminology.
your concept of "I do reality" i think is magnificent! i would love to work on it but that is your project and you have expressed your desire to keep it close to your chest. i won't push the issue but i would love to help you refine it. (I should mention that i have abandoned one copy of your booklet to circulate amongst friends and the other is in storage which was an accident, wrong suitcase). I would love to refine "I", "do" and "reality". I think the result would be quite simple and profound and relatively easy to digest.
btw, i have just driven my car 4000kms to relocate from hobart to cairns to be with my girl. She sees the world in the same way i do, although not with the same knowledge foundation. it seems that she's all heart and i'm all brain. infact, her 'purpose in life' is: "to be love so that others can see love, revealing the world as one". my purpose in life is: "to have knowledge so that i can provide answers and reveal the truth of the world". wtf?
another long post, i dont care. lolalot. At least Gary will read it.

"i now accept that i wish i didn't know", MK I'm a little surprised. I suspect your comment is about what you've learnt regarding the world of men. Like how the monetary system is geared to the 1 percent or our economic model and permanent growth, or fear mongering. Let's talk about you wishing you didn't know, I suspect there's an easy fix.
Regarding your compliments...thanks MK. You know some of my vision regarding "I do, reality...", but maybe not all.
I've envisioned it's growth and know others have to be part of it. I know when a man conspires to do something, the world conspires with him. I would love for you to be part of that world in any way that you can. You've expressed the desire to refine "I do, reality" I would love to see that. I know my skills are limited and absolutely see the need for refinement. So Please Mk do what you can, lets work together while inviting others doing what they can.
That's cool, you moving for love. PM your new address and I'll send you another copy.
Copy
Gary
P.S. MK be careful, remember the day and age we live in...you know, the world of men.
