Tongue is the Knife,
for Speech across centuries.
The time of the solar year is 365 days.
The time of the ceremonial cycle is 260 days.
In the time of 52 cycles of the solar year,
The ceremonial cycle turns 73 times.
Thirteen days without name are counted,
The sum of 52 quarter days of leap year time,
Before beginning a new count
Of the 52 solar year - 73 ceremonial year cycle.
*
The Face through the Center speaks
of the measurement of coordination
in the cycles of our planets.
Who reads this Rock
emerges
from time past
and time future
to find Sound
within the planets
of our solar system.
The difference between yesterday
and tomorrow,
is the alligator eating the fish,
as the end of one cycle of time
meets the beginning of a new cycle.

In recent times, local economies have fallen victim to globalisation, but this process is not inevitable or non-reversible. Rather than being colonies of the global economy, our villages, towns, and cities have the potential to be largely self-sufficient in essentials. In Western countries, it is only a relatively short space of time since this level of self-reliance existed nearly everywhere. More >

Abolish Money??!! How can we possible afford not to.
by Linda Simmons
When I first heard the concept “abolish money” I struggled with it. I loved the idea of not having to be focused on money for survival, but I couldn’t imagine what would replace it. Socialism? Communism? All things that we know will remove some freedoms. But when I began to think in terms of Abundance, I was able to shift.
I'm interested in starting a discussion of this concept. Please read full text and add your comments. :) More >

Hail to you NCN… "Hail to you...for you perceive sensibility in the insensibility of the world, uncertainty in its certainty. For you are often conscious of others as of yourself. For you feel the anxiety of the world, its limits and its false unlimited assurance. For your obsessive need to wash your hands from the dirt of the world, for your fear of the absurdity of existence. For your subtlety which prevents you from telling others what you see in them. For your awkwardness, for your transcendental realism and your lack of daily realism, for your exclusiveness and your fear of losing your great friends. For your creativity and your ecstasy, for your maladjustment to what is and your adjustment to what ought to be, for your immense possibilities not yet actualized... Because your celestial might have been crushed by earthly brutality. For what is unique, original, intuitive and infinite in you. For the solicitude and the oddness of your paths. Hail to you!"---G. R. de Grace
I feel so much strength and yet so much vulnerability, here at NCN, so much grace and yet so much clumsiness, such guileless simplicity and so much confusion, such cheerful conviviality and yet so much loneliness. We listen, and we work things out carefully in our heads and lay them down in our newslogs and comments, through words and images so people will understand, and though we all aspire to the universal, we can't help but write and paint in the languages of Babel.

25 Jul 2002 @ 07:37, by tdeane. Natural Health & Healing
For some time now I have been contemplating sharing the natural remedies which have been passed on to me by my teachers, and Shakti's log gave this the impetus it needed. Thanks Shakti (wink and a hug)! As I have explained many times before, I am not an expert in anything, but in my travels I have managed to collect a plethora of priceless information on living well.
One of these days, when we figure out how to properly use our scanner to affix pictures to our logs, I'll post some of the photos we took during our herbal medicine classes we offered for free at our natural foods store. There was a particular power felt in and by the group, as we all sat on our wooden crates listening to our beloved backwoods herbalist, Dora. She exuded a freedom uncharacteristic of most, a freedom born out of taking control of her life by taking back control of her health. This is the first step we need to take to regain ourselves and our world.
I cannot afford the software that would provide an exact nutritional analysis of the following formulae, but I offer them to you with love, as they were given to us by Dora. We have used them well; they have kept us well; and those to whom we have provided the formulae also attest to an increase in well-being and health. This is a journey which must be taken lovingly with Nature, trusting in that which our Mother has provided for us. We can heal ourselves, we can heal each other, and She is the perfect guide and provider.
Each of the following should be used daily. If anyone has a particular allergy to any of the ingredients, either write me for a substitution, or simply eliminate the ingredient. A word of caution here: If anyone is taking prescription medication, please check with your doctor to insure there will be no adverse reaction to these natural ingredients.
The following recipes are a gift to you, so that we may have the luxury of sharing our wonderful friendships for many, many years to come.:-) Please buy organic or wildcrafted where possible. Although Frontier Herbs is perhaps the most popular source for these (and the cheapest), their growth has turned me off somewhat; I have a natural aversion to all large organizations. I buy my supplies from www.pacificbotanicals.com. They are a bit pricey, but they are growers and highly selective of that which they do not grow themselves.
One of the major causes of cancer is stress. The following tea eliminates the toxic chemicals which build up in the system, most particularly in the liver, as a result of stress and ingestion of chemicals through breathing and packaged food consumption.
Detoxification Tea (enough to keep you and yours healthy for months)
1 Part or Cup Dandelion Root
1 Part or Cup Burdock Root
1 Part or Cup Cinnamon Bark
1 Part or Cup Cardamom Seed
1 Part or Cup Licorice Root*
1 Part or Cup Juniper Berries
1 Part or Cup Ginger Root
1 Part or Cup Cloves
1 Part or Cup Black Peppercorns
1 Part or Cup Uva Ursi Leaves
1 Part or Cup Cornsilk
1 Part or Cup Milk Thistle Seed**
Use 3 TBSP/QUART of DISTILLED water. Place ingredients in boiling water, simmer covered for 20 minutes, and allow to sit overnight. Wonderful flavor, this!:-)
*Do not use Licorice Root if you have high blood pressure. Simply eliminate from the recipe.
**I have a coffee grinder in which I grind the ingredients for uniformity. Milk thistle seeds need to be chewed or ground to release healing compoments, otherwise they pass through system unabsorbed.
The following nutritional supplement ingredients should be mixed in a blender for uniformity. Store in refrigerator to maintain freshness. Use one or two heaping tablespoons per glass of orange juice. It is best shaken in a jar or mixed in a blender for daily use. One of our customers fondly refers to it as "pond scum," but don't let the appearance turn you off. It really doesn't alter the taste of the orange juice that significantly, and it's quite easy to get used to the look of it once the results are felt.:o)
SUPERFOOD
1 lb. Nutritional Yeast
1/2 cup alfalfa grass powder
1/2 cup beet root powder
3/4 cup wheatgrass powder
3/4 cup barleygrass powder
3/4 cup spinach powder
1/4 cup blue-green algae (or spirulina)
1/2 cup dulse granules
1/2 cup kelp granules
Optional: 1/2 cup ea. Sea Veggies - Wakame, Sea Willow, Kombu. I also add Bee Pollen (1 cup) and Lecithin Granules (1 cup). Bee Pollen consists of 23% Linolenic acid, sterols, 21 amino acids, all known vitamins, enzymes, and coenzymes, minerals, and trace elements. It provides stamina and also suppresses the development of atherosclerotic plaque formations. Lecithin is a fat emulsifier, and can significantly aid in lowering cholesterol levels, as does Bee Pollen. We also add carrot powder (1/2 cup), parsley powder (1/2 cup), and tomato powder (1/2 cup) for additional nutrition.
Since these are all nutritional ingredients, one can add any variety of powdered vegetables and herbs, depending upon individual systemic needs.
Try these both and you will feel like a million bucks if your system is anything like all of our other friends who we have provided this for. These are the two items we still continue to have orders for, even though we are no longer active in the business.
This will be an ongoing log devoted to our empowerment as individuals through taking control of our health. I invite other alternative health practitioners in NCN to do the same, that we might all survive to enjoy the fruits of our dreams and efforts together.
One final note to our goddesses: Burn the bra, Sweeties! I had read quite some time ago of a study done in Tahiti involving women observing native dress and food traditions, in which they found no incidence of breast cancer (breast cancer was found among non-traditional native women). More and more recently, I have been reading about the link between bras and breast cancer, with the purported cause being the restriction of the natural flow and drainage of breast fluids. Also, get some brown kelp (not green) into your diet. Add more to the SUPERFOOD (at least double) if you have a family susceptibility. Additionally, start loving tofu! If you need recipes, and delicious ones at that, just let me know. These are the ingredients in Japanese women's diets that researchers attribute to the low incidence of breast cancer among these women.
As always, I surround us all with spiritual hugs and much love ~ Tricia

What follows here is a short summary of a theory of social evolution.
Man has not evolved biologically in the last 10,000 years and yet in this relatively short period has risen to a position of dominance where his influence on other species and planetry systems is evident everywhere.

...We exprss displeasure, anger, fear, disbelief, disgust, consternation at man's indifference and inhumanity to man.
...So what?
...Will that change the ambient level of radioactivity or heat coming from the sun?
...Of course not.
...Will it change the lies, deceptions and deceit coming from our USCoverment?
...Of course not.
...What will create change, in the 5th dimension between Stillness at one end of the spectrum and Order, at the other?
...Here´s a list of steps, actions and stances, we can take that WILL make change happen.
...Stop buying from Wal-Mart, period. They operate OFF the international slave trade.
...Stop using petroleum products, period. Take public transportation, bike or share rides. Let gas stations starve and give their employees other jobs in your community. By doing so you dry up the liquid assets the Coverment can use against you.
...We must grow our own food and make ourselvew ready for a new Ice Age--bermed-in solar-heated. It´s probably better, if several families get together and go in on one community facility. That puts economies to scale to work, that don´t exist in single-family dwellings.
...Get rid of the TV. It is hypnotizing. Maybe it can serve as a permanent VCR monitor, and tell the cable company to go to hell. Buy a short-wave radio instead. The news is NOT what we are hearing, around here.
...Call all the kids home, along with grandchildren, from wherever they have wandered in search of work. You can create enough of an economy by yourselves with what is at hand. We don´t need to be victimized and weakened by the Dollar Economy, any longer. The Dollar Economy is brain-dead and will be physically dead in just a few months time.
...Listen to the kids rap. They are in just as much pain and travail as we adults are. Have compassion.
...Remember: Two wrongs NEVER make a right. And remember: The parable of the wheat and the weeds SAID, the ANGELS would TAKE OUT THE WICKED, not us.
