In San Francisco, I am a part of a cultural movement towards sustainable living practices, and I would like to invite all of you to come say hello in San Francisco, or discuss online more ways we can unite a vision of sustainable living in many areas of the world. I am looking for people with open hearts and vitality and passion running through their veins, and I find it in Hawaii, SF, and pockets of cities wherever I go around the world. Barcelona had an amazing amount of counter cultural movement of growth, health, and cultural art preservation.
I am interested in changing the way we look at transportation, learning and wisdom, social evolution, and health. Transportation I see being localized by less intrusive concepts such as bikes, electric mopeds and small vehicles. Schools realizing that numbers are important, but the reasoning behind why we use numbers and symbols, the wisdom, is just as important if not the most important. This would aim society to evolve into a more ethical, less consumeristic mentality, that can foster health and positive growth from a baby to death. Health primarily focusing on the things we eat, our activity and practice of thought and intent on a daily basis. Primary interests in health would be ancient indigenous practices such as Ayurvedic Medicine and Chinese medicine, to Qi Gong, yoga and other forms of movement that deal with physical and ethereal energy transfer. Music is also another for of health for the practice of a clear mind and to clear intentions.
This is just an overview of thought to help spark ideas of Revolution that can happen at everyone's local level. Food, clothes, homes, travel, livelihood, family,... these are all examples of where the revolution begins and spreads like wildfire throughout your body, mind, and spirit, - and continues on into the people you effect in your life.
Just like Ghandi going to the ocean and teaching his people how to find their own salt to stop the injustices of relying on the corrupt system that the english were taxing on local India, we need to find ways to localize our economy so that the people can have their voice against the machine of corporate America that only cares about the top 5% wealthiest. Once the PEOPLE can sustain their own life, then we can demand our services to better reflect the ideals we want to see for future generations of society. Such ideas of a fair political system where both sides are represented with the same amount of endorsement money; where you can vote in the primaries for all parties that might continue on to become a government representative; where permitting for homes and cities is based off sustainability instead of profit. These changes will dramatically make a difference in the ways we can shape the global economy to rely less on corruption and more on accountability, sustainability, and overall health for all generations and classes.
I am fueled by the sharp contrast of amazing moments in my life with grueling long nights in jail wondering if I will be lost forever inside. The pang of injustice was revealed to me and I cannot deny the dichotomy of the first world mindset. We are one with 2nd and 3rd world countries. We are one world. I would like to act this way on a daily basis and be the change I wish to see.
