^ I love rap videos like that! I'm a fan of political comedy.

I had seen and saved this video.... She describes the masculine/feminine energies and the revealing work going on right now in the collective unconscious shadow (USA).

She's talking energetically, and I HOPE what Danielle is saying will be correct-- because frankly, I'm scared.

It's a great video... I DO think you (both) will enjoy this... It's basically almost politically "safe" for all the parties?

"Get out there, and represent your Consciousness" (quoted).

... VOTE!

Thanks for your comments, Pixie Jane..
(Too much interference in my environment right now to make adequate response.)
I listened to your vids, and I could write a chapter of experiences I've had with what you relate. (Sorry I can't be 'as present' today, as I'd like to.)

Danielle's perspective was interesting.


And that was a good rap battle, better than what I've found myself. That said, there are some actually classy rap battles over politics on YT, like this one between Hayek and Keynes between their respective economic models (if you want to cut straight to the rap battle than skip to 1:52 ):

Throwing this in, studies linking happiness in the brain to charitable giving:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brady-josephson/want-to-be-happier-give-m_b_6175358.html

quote:
Did you know that when you make a donation to charity, your brain acts in a similar way to when you are having sex or eating chocolate? It’s true. Thanks to fMRI technology, researchers are able to see brain activity when certain acts are taken and in a study on charitable giving when people donated to a worthy cause, the midbrain region of the brain lit up. This is the area of the brain that is responsible for our cravings (food and sex) and pleasure rewards, showing the link between charitable giving and pleasure

It has some tips on the best way to maximize happiness through giving. And for me personally, charity SHOULD be pleasurable, though it shouldn't be the sole reason.

I've got some stories about some shady or unpleasant people in charities (and who try to manipulate through guilt tactics and the like), but I don't want to bring this down. The point is that when done right it feels good. I'd still call that altruistic. Just as a sadist gains pleasure from inflicting pain and misery (btw, I've heard of sadists giving as it would extend suffering, by keeping strangers alive without doing anything to help them as viewing their suffering made them feel better, perhaps even good) so can someone wired for the common weal and altruism gain pleasure from helping and healing, even complete strangers "outside the tribe."

Kropotkin pointed out that the view overlooked in evolutionary theory (in his day) of the "survival of the fittest" overlooked how often cooperation also took place in nature that also allowed for survival. There's more in Mutal Aid , which does focus more on biology than ideology, IIRC (it's been about 15 years since I read it so I'm not certain). Just pointing it out for those who would be interested, and as something I thought of in thinking how it's hard wired in at least some people.

Danielle has another video out on the election and what she thinks has happened. She said it was the Power behind the force of will of some persons in the heavenly atmospheres.

She ends the video by basically saying 'what if' we were a COHESIVE Power for Love on this Planet...

Imagine what we could achieve if all were in One Accord and Believing WHOLE HEARTEDLY in achieving that Peace-- achieving that overarching atmosphere of Love, Acceptance, and Prosperity for all people. (And improving healing our planet as a direct result of it.)

...

UPDATE on my tech... I REALLY appreciated your advices, LK and PJ. I did follow through and look into it, seriously.

Hurricane Matthew...
I plugged my phone near my bed instead of its usual place, to have it in case of a grab-emergency.

The socket was loose. I didn't realize that the wind buffeting the building shook it enough to disconnect from power source without my realizing it.

The phone completely died. I tried to juice it back up, and when it finally reached full power, the phone wouldn't reboot itself. I called two resource numbers, and they never called me back.

I kept the phone 'alive' on life-support?? LOL. I kept it plugged and ready, waiting for a miracle, I guess. AND, it paid off for me! I'm sooo glad I didn't throw it away.

After visiting two places, there was one that had WIFI wafting through the building. The person had taken my phone, and, just, turned it on. When I first handed him the phone... it was purely black. NO sign of life. Not even the battery icon came on. The phone itself seemed to have completely expired. ---- Then!! A Sudden Awakening.... AND, The phone began REBOOTING its own self!

When it rebooted?,,,, it had MORE capability than originally had been there (but didn't know that yet). I was definitely happy to 'just' have my phone back, for emergency purposes.

A few days later, I was trying to 'play' with my phone while waiting in front of a supermarket. ... The market had 'wifi' on.

Someone I was standing next to saw me trying to get around a message that my phone was not-connected? He took my phone, hit a few selections, TURNED ON accepting 'wifi'... and I would have been able to get on even youtube IF I wanted to at that point. WOW!!

The only thing I need now is to have someone saavy about setting up google accounts, and, I could connect and download 'apps' to use.

Was warned that these need extra-time usage, and it would burn up my time and battery storage.

So! ... The good news is that my 'bamaphone DOES hook into the internet IF I purchase the right things, and have those accounts set up for me some day.

... Progress. It feels good. Might be slow?? Not everyone understands cellphones and how they work (obviously, from some of the wrong advice I'd been given earlier this year).


I went to the Main Library in town to find out 'why' my library account stopped working, even though it said I was renewed. They 'fixed' the problem for me. ...

While I was there, I toured a bit. They have an INCREDIBLE technology floor now. Innovations that had me want to just cry, because of the Possibility we have now. (It had been at least 3 or more years since I'd visited the main library. .... I felt like a Kid let loose on a brighter better cleaner Playyard!!! LOL)

I'd have to take some tech courses first, before I'd be allowed free range visiting there in that part of the building.

I had taken their series of Microsoft intro courses like, a handful of years ago, at a different more-limited side-branch.

They invited me to sign up for renewal of those courses at the Main Library.

There's so much possibility out there now.... I just hope that after these elections, the Library Systems will be regarded as Valuable Enough to keep their funding in the future.

Libraries keep Everyone Learning about new things.

In my researching past, the Library seemed like my second-home. (All I would need is a cot, and a sandwich vending machine. LOL)

Hey Mirage,

I was looking through some threads yesterday and one was such that I had to comment on it, but knowing how these things work out on LL (and how it doesn't help, and I felt like kicking myself for entering that thread in the first place once I read through it) I waited until today to comment, and decided to do it here. I don't want to involve myself in that thread (which would just turn into pigs throwing mud at each other to the joy of the smaller souls), I just wanted to say I saw you trying to offer comfort and encouragement in another thread and got dogpiled for it. I can't say I was surprised on who it was that would do that as they have a long history of it (as opposed to those who just snap while having a bad day, or just being a bit callous at times), but I was surprised that they'd target you, and that they'd go in for the punch when you made yourself as vulnerable as you did, and dismiss your well-meaning efforts that took some time. Normally I shrug off how nasty people can be on LL, but that was distressing to see even for me. As you can see, LL has its own bullies as that shelter you went to, and like those in the shelter, they enjoy making you dance to their tune, and attacking those who don't.

Online and real life, some people maneuver themselves into positions to help people just so they can find the vulnerable to use or crap all over (and thus gain a feeling of power they lack). I hope people like that never snuff out the light of compassion you carry in your soul.

I also wanted to say that shelter you described was the worst I ever heard of. I've heard all sorts of horror stories about social services and shelters with a lot of sexual abuse and racial tensions thrown in, but that one takes the cake (but if it's Florida or Louisiana then I'm not surprised it got that bad, though it gets bad everywhere).

I generally don't expect much from humanity anymore, though our species can express a "higher soul" for want of a better word. And one thing people will do when deprived of all, completely outside the system as you were, is show the more desperate side of humanity that can be vicious and cruel, and with nothing real to lose so what's the point in holding back? (After my own time on the streets outside of the system, I came to divide morals and ethics involving good/weal and oppression/exploitation/evil with another category of "survival.") At the very least they'll compromise their principles to survive, or they don't survive (as you almost didn't save for the unexpected kindness of strangers), or come to envy the dead (like a slave in a pimp's stable, for example). Many people who have never been there talk big about how they'd die for their principles and such, and never give in, but they don't know until they experience it for a long time, and no end in sight. When they do escape it, they tend to forget (as in actively block it out from memory) what they did to survive (same for soldiers put into intense war zones and the like). Everyone is a bit different in how they survive in such situations, with some far worse than others, but I just don't believe that even the best of us are saints in those times.

Though you are perhaps the closest I ever heard of, and I do believe what you shared, that you're not hiding some really dark deeds to get by (or even revenge). I think you're one of those very rare special lights that I can count on one hand. I hope they, and you, never lose that special light that's all too rare in this world, one in which suffering has created compassion rather than either cruelty or manipulation. (And just to be clear, I don't count myself as one of them, though I have done a lot of volunteer work and charity.)

Maybe I'll share of one or more later, like this one Russian Orthodox great grandmother (who is among those special lights I can count on one hand).

Unfortunately, we have some on LL that try to make their pain all about themselves (and possibly their clique), and even try to make it into a contest. If one old thread (from years ago) wasn't so vile as it set up victims of rape and sexual abuse to be ambushed with hate (and of course a mod here at LL tried to make it even more vile) I'd link to it (it's been locked, but that one was so vile it should've been nuked and gone...best I try to forget that one, but I'll never forget how one of the mods who was recently unkind to you was also there cheering that vile thread on as well). And to think I've known people who suffered far worse than anyone here, at least as far as I can tell, but that gives them compassion and inner-strength instead rather than cruelty.

Back when I was a runaway, there was one night we were talking about all the sexual abuse and exploitation going on around us, and it got talking about sexual abuse some endured before coming to the streets (a rare look into what their lives had been like before as they usually didn't talk about it, with about all of us having a "don't ask, don't tell" practice about life before they were on the streets). One girl who had once been part of a loving home until her adult relatives were busted for drugs shared a little about how she was first placed in foster care, but given her anger at being forced to live with strangers, she was then placed into an abusive orphanage of some sort and then given (probably sold, my thought) to a man who spent about 2 years raping her and performing home abortions on her. And then there was a boy there who shared about the sexual and physical abuse he endured at the age of 4 in which he was placed into some care facility for traumatized children (and it was a very unpleasant place, for example a doctor would examine their throats on a daily basis, and no matter how wide he'd open his mouth the cold doctor would ram his stick into the back of his throat so he shrieked, and lived in fear of that everyday while he was there, and otherwise treated like a penned animal), and an adult relative who adopted him (and abused him more) said that there had been talk in the courts of having him declared permanently insane or some such (in any case, to be trapped in such a place for the rest of his life).

Both of these were horrifying for me to hear (one reason I feel like I got off light compared to other kids from abusive backgrounds) but they accepted what had happened to them. They had their scars over it (the girl was still having physical problems over the forced abortions) and were bitter over it, but at the same time it was part of life that they accepted. They instead were far more horrified for each other rather than themselves. The girl said she at least knew what it was like to have a loving family when she was a little girl, and knowing how terrible penetration was at the age of 12, her mind just couldn't imagine it at the age of 4. He, OTOH, said he couldn't imagine enduring the abuse he did after having known better, and knowing that the loving family that would protect her from it was rotting in prison over some BS drug laws while s/he was being raped, having been essentially given to such an abuser by the state, and having home surgery (without anesthesia) also horrified him beyond belief.

It touched me how those 2 felt such compassion for each other after having endured such horrors in their own personal lives. And both were violent criminals, the girl so bad that at the time I thought she was something of a psychopath (in retrospect, I think she thought of her violence as justice against a cruel world, particularly those with the system and/or those who tried to sexually abuse her on the streets, that is her joy didn't come from inflicting pain, but from the feeling of delivering justice, however misguided I personally would call it). And yet for being violent criminals...they could still be better people than some people who post on LL.

Some of the recent scuffles on LL make me think of this type of setting…

The Politics of Internet Message Boards...
Shock Therapy - The Simpsons... [2mins 18secs]...

Bart, Maggie, Lisa & Homer = Posters/Users;
Marge = Moderators;
Dr Monroe = Admins;
Smithers & Mr Burns = Lurkers (Most);

The fact is, you can't Participate in Life without leaving yourself open to being Buzzed by others... And it is with Rare Exception that people Rip the Shock Buttons off their own Chair and Toss them, and whose Posts Glow with the Energy of Kindness & Wisdom as a Result

Doesn’t mean they can’t be hurt though… as that’s the chance we all take in just choosing to Live.

Lord of the Rings : Sam's Speech [2:33]

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.

Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy.

Sam: How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

Sam: Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it's worth fighting for.

(Mirage & Pixie)

I watched it more carefully this time. There are a lot things there with overtones to other kinds of abuses too.

Well done.

I really took in the 'different' ending (to me) with the group of people who assembled themselves so powerfully around the car, and the younger and older females, against the perps who thought these would be re-captured.

Yes. I WISH it had been like that for me.

That would be quite a corrective experience-- if before I died in this life, I could find that kind of I'll Stick-By-You thick-n-thin, go-no-further coz 'she's MINE' and you'll have to deal with US, kind of energy.

I'll have to keep imagining and breathing that part into my soul...
{{{Thanks again}}}.

Hi Mirage,

Glad you enjoyed the vids, I always feel that Humour is often the best way (especially as Parody) to give ourselves a better perspective on certain situations, and maybe even dispel the nastier side-effects of those real scenarios which can get us down.

That if we can take a step back and laugh it off, such can have healing properties!

And was just looking over this thread, and I remembered too I was going to post this vid when that storm hit Florida, though beyond this... I still feel such holds alot of Power as a Symbol for how we each Weather Life's Various Storms in a showdown with what the Universe throws at us

And I feel that the likes of You & Pixie really have that Lt Dan : You will never sink this boat! (or block out my light) quality when I read of your Life Survival stories!

Lei_Kuei ...

I like your name! When I say it outloud, it sounds like {I} Like_YOU! And that's true-- because, I DO!!

You're so special. And that's a fact.

I like your vids and your messages very much.

I've been looking over this thread again too. Wow!!!!! We have covered sooo much ground here.

I've left this song in other threads that the three of us have posted in together.

(music) What If God Was One Of Us [5:05] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV2I2KykhrQ


I watched the vid before posting it. It has refs and pictures to Jesus getting killed at the end of it, for his message.

I'm posting this today in a non-religious mood and intent.


And there is so much I want to say! So much!

Both of those were refreshing, the Friendship is Magic and What if God Was One of Us.

MLP: Friendship is Magic (the actual show) is surprisingly popular among adults for having a positive vibe that's pretty much missing in this world now. At least, I think that's why it is, having heard so many say they love it because it can even put a smile on the face of those who admit to being habitually cranky. And I know more than one person who retreats from this unfriendly world to escape into My Little Pony, and these are some rather tough (not to be confused with macho) guys.

And the versions I've heard of What if God Was One of Us was done more for fun than anything, but that version made it much more profound, even in just the tone and word emphasis used. Adding in that vid in which God can be male and female, black and white, young and old, and even Homer Simpson was brilliant. I hope I can get my grandmother to see that one because I think she'll love it, and find it refreshing.

Both of those song-vids have a theme of building bridges between people, which is very different from the vibe of today's world (and I don't just mean the USA) which seems to be about building walls between each other (I mean metaphorically, but there's a lot of support for literal walls as well). Those songs are essentially about tearing down the walls and building bridges.
