Pre-Council Chart & Themes

“Let us be on the front lines
of dissolving the front lines.”
“Metaphors are the incarnational garb
by which powers enter the world.”
Woo-hoo… re-membering our dedication to deeply delve,
within our personal and collective psyche
Dion Fortune-ish: not when will war end, but how.
Will end when originating conditions are re-solved
We explore Cults, cult mind….

The tyranny virus has afflicted a considerable number
of our fellow Citizens
Let’s entertain the possibility (and discuss!) that:
Dogma opens the receptors to the Tyranny virus…
“Believe Nothing – Entertain Possibilities!”
As all deep things are being dredged to surface,
within and without…

Let’s Invite/welcome early memories
of when we realized we were being played,
snookered by some dogma…
when we became “heretics.”
(free-thinkers, cross-pollinating agents)
(I have a few)
Animism is neither a belief, nor a dogma,
but an experimental manner of relating.
Hence our dedication to
Participatory Animism Democratic Animism
NPR Interview:
Founders Claimed A Subversive Right To ‘Nature’s God’The U.S. was not founded as a Christian nation, says historian
Matthew Stewart. He tells NPR’s Arun Rath about his book
Nature’s God: The Heretical Origins of the American Republic.
We have an exhilarating chart, and choreography,
with which to cahoot…

° November 13th – Mars Station-Direct 7:36 pm est
° November 15th – New Moon 23+ Scorpio 12:07 am est
° November 19th – Mercury emerges from retro shadow /
Gettysburg Address, Biden’s solar return…3:49 pm est° November 30th – Lunar Eclipse 8+ Gemini 4:30 am est
° December 14th – electoral college convenes / Solar Eclipse
° December 21st Winter Solstice Saturn-Jupiter conjoin…
° January 5th Georgia run-off
° January 20, 2021, our palindromic Inauguration 1.20.2021!!!
Encouragements
(not “have to,” but “get to!”):
Myriad forms of reciprocal Blessing:
*cornmeal planetary glyph on threshold- today be Mars! Woof!
(within which I like putting sun flower seeds)
*weaving our intimate reciprocal blessing,
with our tree, rock, where we placed our ballot…
where we have, and continue to vote
(and now, I “get to” commune with my Election –
Now Inauguration – Sycamore Tree)
*Judge Dee & The Heavenly Kings
(quirky, King-Fu movie, by no means, everyone’s cup of tea,
yet with fantabulous resolution via liberating Taoism)

Post-Council Themes & Practices

As we de-convened 12+ Cancer was rising…
= the US Sun degree
we are tapped in!
Also, as we were deconvening,
sane reverent common sense
was suffusing collective mind
The Times Called Officials in Every State: No Evidence of Voter Fraud
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/10/us/politics/voting-fraud.html
and our word is
Vigil!
Let us keep vigil!
“eve of a religious festival”
(an occasion for devotional watching or observance),
from Anglo-French and Old French vigile
“watch, guard; eve of a holy day”
(12c.), from Latin vigilia “a watch, watchfulness,”
from vigil “watchful, awake, on the watch, alert,”
from PIE root *weg- “to be strong, be lively.”
Meaning “watch kept on a festival eve” in English is from late 14c.;
general sense of “occasion of keeping awake for some purpose”
Notes from the Council
And I think over againMy small adventuresWhen with a shore wind I drifted outIn my kayakAnd I thought I was in danger.My fears, those I thought so big,For all the vital thingsI had to get and to reach.And yet, there is onlyOne great thing,The only thing:To live to see in huts and on journeysThe great day that dawns,And the light that fills the world.

… (audio technical difficulties)
19:14:09 From Suzanne : Black Orpheus, a beautiful movie.
19:15:29 From Eryn Alloway : Here’s the Map … Password is “Magic” https://getethermap.org/m/participatory-magic-election-council
19:24:04 From Suzanne : I have a similar memory from church, reading the hymn being sung. I was 5. The hymn was going along, “forgive me for my sins” or somesuch, and I clearly recall thinking “What are you talking about?! I am five, I haven’t done anything!”
19:24:10 From ownerMilda Vaivada : 7 years as a Zen monastic.
19:24:31 From Eryn Alloway : Wow wow
19:25:43 From Eryn Alloway : Elana & All ~ please feel free to unmute and chime in
19:26:53 From Suzanne : Evangeline that is a great perspective
19:27:03 From DepotStudios6 : Ha Ha Ha!
19:30:40 From Suzanne : Neptune says green screen, the canvas for all imagination!
19:33:47 From Elana Auerbach : because the police were created to protect white women
19:34:07 From Darcy Scholts : I would have preferred “redefine” the police. “Defund” was a terrible idea to use as a buzzword
19:34:30 From Eryn Alloway : Redefine is good!
19:34:31 From Rachel Heerema (she/her) : “Defund the Police” shifts the center of debate. Demands that the Police depts. show their usefulness to BIPOC communities.
19:34:48 From Delia Carroll : Well, I would say they were created to protect the assets of the white male ruling class. Women were assets.
19:34:49 From Elana Auerbach : we’re working on a specialized care unit here in berkeley as a non sworn unarmed response to noncriminal calls
19:35:11 From Eryn Alloway : Yes or how about what are we building? Instead of what are we taking down
19:35:46 From KO : Now, to find new trainers for police..
19:35:54 From DepotStudios6 : Yes! Eryn.
19:36:15 From Elana Auerbach : how about peacemaking officers instead of police officers?
19:36:38 From Deborah Felmeth : I like that Elana!
19:36:57 From Richard~MOS : Me thinks, it would be good to stop the flow of Military equipment to police departments
19:37:09 From Deborah Felmeth : INsh’allah!
19:37:18 From Susan : amen to that!
19:37:37 From Eryn Alloway : Yes thats great – Agents of Peace – and yes, this is the important localized work, having City Councils say no to militarization of police departments etc
19:38:00 From Delia Carroll : Maybe Biden will create a new cabinet position, the Department of Peace and name Marianne Williamson as its head.
19:38:01 From Richard~MOS : Peace Keepers
19:38:23 From Elana Auerbach : YES! let’s vision that creation of a DEPT OF PEACE!!!
19:38:24 From Eryn Alloway : Yes! There’s some cabinet nominations!
19:38:37 From Deborah Felmeth : You know Marianne brought up a lot of very good points while she held the platform briefly!
19:39:04 From Elana Auerbach : i have marianne for president stickers on my car 🙂
19:39:59 From vj******@************ls.org : hooray for competence — Skookum Biden & Harris
19:39:59 From Susan : The collapse of the economy is the real loss and hardships of real people being kicked to the streets.
19:40:29 From Eryn Alloway : Mmm yes with collapse of existing structures we ‘get to’ have our desirable new structures in place and working so that we don’t go down with the old ship
19:41:20 From DepotStudios6 : The collapse of the economy is the opportunity to build an economy that serves the people not mere profit…just a thought. Mutuality is a big part of it.
19:41:29 From Eryn Alloway : yes!
19:42:00 From KO : Until people start seeing the virus an EVENT, not a “living thing” which it isn’t, and respond to the event it will keep on spreading
19:42:05 From Cathy : Yes exactly. A new economy of entrepreneurs and cultural creatives.
19:43:11 From Kay : can we see McCarty too
19:45:41 From DepotStudios6 : Tears.
19:46:46 From Eryn Alloway : Mm yes me too, beautiful
19:47:15 From Eryn Alloway : Deborah, if it would be fun, you could send me a photo of the poem°blessing and I would share it with all
19:47:22 From Deborah Felmeth :
-Inuit poem-
19:47:29 From Eryn Alloway : Ahhh thank you so much
19:47:40 From Eryn Alloway : <3
19:53:08 From DepotStudios6 : It’s snowing, now, heavily. Every crystal is a cleansing energetic force…for McCarty and for everyone of us.
19:53:41 From Deborah Felmeth : Mash’allah !*
19:54:15 From Eryn Alloway : Beautiful
19:54:26 From Eryn Alloway : Each a unique blessing
19:55:12 From DepotStudios6 : It’s a Ho’opono’pono thing I enjoy every winter.
19:55:21 From vj******@************ls.org : The Zapatista vision: ‘A World Where Many Worlds Fit’
19:56:02 From Eryn Alloway : mmmm thank you thank you
19:57:27 From Darcy Scholts : Is it possible that for QAnon the draw is seeing past those group “snookering” society imposed delusions for those who have never had that insight before and that’s so very seductive that their discretion goes kablooie in the process?
19:58:02 From DepotStudios6 : Sounds about right.
19:58:03 From Darcy Scholts : They get drawn in by the “awakening” but don’t have a core sense of things
19:58:13 From Eryn Alloway : Yes exactly – because the whole deal is ‘here’s the clues, you figure it out’ so it feeds into the detective and the desire to be the one who sees the truth
19:58:38 From Rachel Heerema (she/her) : QAnon = the insiders group.
19:58:42 From Cathy : But they don’t see the false prophet —
19:59:31 From Eryn Alloway : exactly
20:00:01 From DepotStudios6 : “Truth is a small stream one steps over; wisdom, a persistent preoccupation.” (21A bus in Minneapolis)
20:00:31 From Eryn Alloway : Fabulous
20:00:53 From Deborah Felmeth : I must leave you all early tonight, sadly, but with this blessing – – repeat repeat Ya salaam, ya salaam, ya salaam, not the absence of conflict but the presence of oneness…. be well my friends
20:01:19 From Rachel Heerema (she/her) : Good night everyone! I have to climb into bed and rest. I’m going to turn off my video and clean up my desk. Enjoy this week.
20:02:07 From Deborah Felmeth : A thousand thanks Caroline, and love, always love
20:03:45 From Elana Auerbach : hummingbird just landed outside my window 🙂
20:04:27 From Suzanne : I found a good planetarium website called theskylive.com. the clearest i’ve found yet for visualizing.

Hello, Magic Council!
On the topic of our Founders beliefs, I’m going to introduce you to one of the ancestors I was inviting in – my 11th great grandfather, Samuel Gorton of Rhode Island. He and his wife (and kids, of course) came to the Massachusetts Bay in the March of 1636, for one reason – “to enjoy the liberty of our conscience in respect to faith toward God and for no other end” but stayed there only a month or so because his beliefs were heretical to that establishment. He maintained that the immigrants in America deserved the same rights as Englishmen (he was from Lancashire, chapelry of Gorton, England), colonists should purchase their lands from the Indians, favored “an unusual amount of personal liberty” for women- for the times-sponsored one of the first laws for the emancipation of slaves. He advocated laws that would protect individual freedom of worship, which included his recognition of those rights of Quakers. He denied the doctrine of the trinity and saw no necessity for a special class to serve as ministers, etc. Needless to say, he got in a lot of trouble with many of the early colonists (it seems he didn’t try to hide his beliefs!) & so he got kicked out of several settlements before heading, along with Roger Williams, to what was to become Rhode Island. SO – all that to verify, from my genealogy, anyway, that YES! Some of our founding fathers had way more liberal views of “god” than some folks would like to think about!
