Weaving

Integrating spirituality and politics.

Spiritual and political are the same thing, not two. The effectiveness of direct action is enhanced when the individual is unified; not experiencing a separation of the aspects of life. This feeling of separateness is a delusion. When the mind itself is absorbed in the activity of the moment, disunity is not experienced. It is nowhere.
So what is the basis of this problem of preferences, compartmentalizing, categorizing, defining one thing as spiritual and another as political?
The weaver takes different strands and interlaces them to create fabric. The weaver of spirit and politics creates the fabric of unity in society. This work is the alternative to social alienation, homelessness, poverty amidst plenty, and the disintegration of families. It is also control of the mind, having it "woven" with body and spirit, hence centered and content. Extending ourselves, we embrace others for social harmony. This heals the loneliness and misery of social alienation, and positively affects the contemporary wasteland of hyper-consumerism.
Drumming in a circle. Dancing in a spiral pattern. Sharing food. Creating community relevant theater. Making puppets. Dissolution of the concept of audience and performers...no more audience...only participants.
October 31st is the Witches New Year. Go out and do something special that night!

Ritual dance is still happening in this country.

It seems like a long time ago since vibe of the UK dance scene in general brought it on for the masses bringing a vibe of awareness and postivity. But it isn't. It's still happening.

However-
There seems to be a lot of branding in even the hardest most underground music. It's worth keeping your drugs clean - avoid, crack, smack dodgy pills etc and don't be afraid to take personal progression seriously even if you are likely to get ridiculed in the modern world of Lad's - don't give a shite about anyone else - culture.

The underground vibe will never die. Although all of us indivually will. A lot of people don't take messages seriously until the situation is serious. Well the situation is serious so take this message seriously.
Personal change is the way forward. Don't disregard any effort that's moving in the right direction and try to follow a positive message or plan that will pull others into it.

Sorry about that.

The music at network 23 speaks for itself:
