World-Galactic Rich. P.S. Saint Germain ~~ About Disclosure and the Landings
~6.5.12~ Dear Ones, We come with breaking news! I, Saint Germain and the
Arcturians are at liberty to inform you that some of your space brothers have
landed on your planet. A few shuttles received permission to land on your soil
and more specifically in Roswell (U.S.A.) and Staffordshire (England). Among the
first to land were the Pleiadians and the Arcturians : the Pleiadians for their
closeness to your earthly civilization and the Arcturians because of their
leadership abilities to handle the procedures involved. The Arcturians are the
ones who monitor everything conscientiously as regards to your spiritual
evolution on one hand and the disclosure project on the other hand. We
established contacts with President Obama and other authorities to figure out
how to be of further assistance to you and how to announce disclosure on your
world. Those with whom we have established connections are government
representatives and the ground crew, connected with the Disclosure project.
Obama will announce Disclosure in our presence through your television network
and he will also announce the arrests of the cabal.

Self awareness and advancement: We would like to speak with you today on ways in
which you can further your growth and your advancement while you are here in
this physical plane. What you can be working on and focusing on is ways to
better accrue knowledge, wisdom and experience throughout your day. How this can
be done is through a coordinated effort to share with each other ideas, concepts
and your experiences with each other. To do this, interaction is required, and
this interaction can be facilitated through the means of the tools that are
already at your disposal. The Internet is your source for a wealth of
information, and it can be utilized in so many advantageous ways to further your
growth and expand your consciousness as you do the work that you have come here
to accomplish.

We see so many of you using the Internet in many different ways, and we do see
those of you who are getting the most out of this experience, though we do see a
number of you not getting out of your time on the Internet what is possible for
you. We would like to see improvements in this area by seeing more of you
focusing on the subject matter that will bring to you knowledge and wisdom that
is of greater importance to you at this time. There are so many interesting and
worthwhile subjects to read about and discuss amongst one another, however, the
time to indulge in many of these topics and discussions has passed. It is now a
time to focus on only the subjects that will bring to you the most you can get
from this experience.

We would like to see you focusing on subjects that will expand your
consciousness in the areas of spiritual evolution. We would like to see more of
you focus less on topics and interests that do not have the capabilities to
facilitate this kind of growth in your spiritual awareness. There is such a wide
range of different topics that will work to better qualify you for advancement
up through the multiple dimensions of this universe. At this time, we are taking
notice of what we shall call deficiencies in fundamental spiritual
understandings and awareness. We would like to see more of you focus on this and
turning back a few pages to the basics of spiritual understanding and awareness,
starting with the rights of others and how important these rights are to honor
and respect, namely in the ways of free choice and freedom of expression.

We see many of you at this time who are demonstrating that they have not yet
reached this fundamental level of understanding, and we say to you that you are
building a spiritual house on top of a faulty foundation if you do not first
reach this basic understanding. We suggest to you to better strengthen your
foundational structure by better understanding the sacred rights of free will
and choice, and work at respecting the boundaries and rights of another. We see
quite often those of you who trespass on this sacred right of another by
outspokenly condemning their views and opinions. This will not do if it is
spiritual ascension through this multidimensional universe that is your goal.
This behavior must be corrected, and corrected before you begin to amass more
advanced spiritual knowledge and wisdom.

One cannot put the cart before the horse, as you say, and placing advanced and
complex spiritual wisdom before you before you have learned one of its most
basic fundamentals, which are the rights of others, is a flaw that will lead to
problems up ahead and a stunting of your spiritual growth. We suggest to you
today to forgo all the advanced concepts, meditations and breathing exercises,
yoga, Zen, and all other advanced concepts and focus on one thing and one thing
only, and that is when another speaks or posts throughout your online social
networks, stop for just a moment and take a long deep breath, and while you
exhale think to yourself `Will I honor this soul's sacred right of free will and
choice, or will I choose to trespass against my brother or sister and condemn
him or her for their choice and right to exercise their right of expression. If
you could do this each and every time you are poised to offer reply to what
another has just expressed, you would be doing yourself and this other soul a
great service.

We are all here, in part, for spiritual growth and advancement along our
journey, and to judge another and condemn their thoughts and freedom of
expression is not assisting them on their journey in any way and is also not
assisting you on your journey. Instead, this can be likened to a head on train
wreck when two locomotives meet on the same track. This is certainly not
conducive to either locomotive, and this is certainly not what will lead to a
positive outcome for two souls who are also traveling upon their journey. We
thank you for your efforts in this regard, and we will be looking for
improvements in this area immediately starting today. What we would like to see
more of are those of you who outwardly express that you honor and respect the
views of others at all times and welcome always their views and opinions on any
subject they would like to discuss. This is the way of the higher dimensions of
this universe, where all beings respect the sacred rights of another and their
choice of expression, no matter what that expression may be and whether you
agree with this point of view or not.

No one is asking you to ever take on the perspective of another. You are only
being asked to honor another's right to choose their own perspective and express
this choice in any way that they see fit, as long as it does not intrude upon
the rights of another. This very basic and fundamental right is the cornerstone
of the foundation of this entire multidimensional universe, and it is here at
this very first block that we want you to focus your attention today and as you
move forward, and we would like you not to forget our discussion today and this
lesson on this extremely important spiritual virtue. Thank you, and bless you
all.

We are the Galactic Federation of Light.

Enjoy this day to its fullest – Michael channeled by Ron Head
June 5,2012

And so, it is upon you, dear friends. The unmistakable rise in the energies of
light and love has begun. In addition, your biggest worries are beginning to
prove unfounded. There is still, in your world, enough fear and worry to
manifest these catastrophes. However we are delighted to see that the love and
light you are bringing to bear is daily winning out over the fear, even though
the numbers of you would not appear to be large enough.

Light is always ascendant, dear ones. And your numbers are far, far greater than
you imagine. You are a part of a universal host of uncountable number. As you
join your meditations and visualizations this day, feel the power you have
brought to bear. Feel us holding you in loving embrace. See all you have dreamed
and longed for these many thousands of your years coming to pass before your
mind's eye. See all resistance melting away as divine love replaces it in your
entire solar system; for you have enabled far reaching changes that have hardly
crossed your minds, my friends.

When you change yourselves, you change your world, and when you change your
world, you change the universe. This ascension, as you term it, reaches beyond
your ability to comprehend, at least with the intellect. Soon you will be seeing
things with a mind that will not have such restrictions. In that regard, we
would now offer a tiny piece of advice, if we may. We see so many of you
dreaming of what you will become, and that is a marvelous thing. We have indeed
encouraged it. But we would point out that you are, in your true selves, already
these wondrous beings. Achieving these things is not something you need try for.
You are now as you are because it is necessary to what you have come to
accomplish. We say to you that, if you simply relax into the flow of what you
are becoming, it will come to you easily and painlessly in divine timing. Wonder
at what you see happening to and around you, however, is fun. Is it not? That we
highly recommend.

Love, enjoy yourselves, and let that flow from you to all you meet. If you stub
your toe, come quickly to your centers and ask for our help if you need it. We
have told you that we walk by your side. In truth, we are always within, waiting
for your call. We urge you also to think of today as the beginning of a huge and
constant increase in the inflow of unconditional love to your world. It is an
event, surely, but it will not end when you leave your meditations. It will be
constant and constantly increasing in strength throughout these next months. We
would like for you to give the intent that you continue to increase in your
abilities to absorb and utilize these frequencies and this power in the
transformation of yourselves and all around you. In this way smooth and peaceful
change which hardly seems possible can occur.

Those who do not know of, or refuse to believe, what is happening will hardly be
able to understand. You, however, are now beginning to feel changes happening to
yourselves which amaze you. The same changes are happening to many, many of
those sleeping ones. They do not yet `get it', as you would say. When they get
so confused that they ask you, please comfort them and let them learn at their
own speed. They will surprise you.

Enjoy this day to its fullest, my dear friends. We will speak again tomorrow.

a message from Sarah-Jane Grace

Tuesday, 5 June, 2012

As we continue our grand and mysterious tale of cosmic twists and turns, this
epic looks set to turn into an adventure of legend as the unconscious continues
to become conscious, and sleepwalkers stir and awaken seeking meaning and
purpose, love and unity. Each of us is a Divine spark, and we are stepping forth
into the full blazing glory of love of the most incredible kind.

As Venus dances across the Sun, we are being asked to fully open up our hearts,
minds and souls to love in the truest sense of the word. Love is a word often
used but it is the true power of love that is important now; when we feel the
energy of love, the word becomes so much more, as we realise that love is an
amazing and inspirational force.

Love is often dismissed as `fluffy' or `over-rated', for in the `real-world'
love cannot solve problems or put food on the table, but this misses the point!
Love is not about paying bills or fixing life's problems; love is a state of
being, and when in this state, everything changes. Love is not something to
`get' or `attain', love just is. It is when we open ourselves up to the full
power of this realisation that we step beyond limitations and connect with the
expansive and infinite essence of the Universe that is within each and every one
of us.

Whilst being human can make life complicated, love brings us back to the
simplicity and to the joy that is present in the magnificence of life. As we
prepare to open up our hearts and souls to the full and incredible force that is
love, we connect with the synergy of Self as hearts, minds and souls become One.

Love begins and ends within; if we cannot truly love ourselves, then how can we
love another? If we do not love our lives, then how can we love life? These are
basic and fundamental building blocks in the Universe, and whilst they are
simple, they should not be overlooked.

As we connect to the outpouring of love on all levels of our consciousness, we
take a bold step forward, for we move beyond fear, lack and doubt to a place of
openness, One-ness and wholeness. Love transcends barriers and it breaks down
walls, both within and without, and the time has come to find unity, both within
our Selves and with one another, to create a new chapter of hope, love and
harmony.

With a true sense of love in our hearts, this outpouring of love flows freely
within enabling us to be the very best that we can be; for we are Whole. We can
then unify and send this flow inwards, outwards, earthwards and skywards and
watch it ripple out touching the hearts and souls of so many.

This may sound a little `gushy', but Venus is opening up our hearts to the full
power of love. There are many thoughts about the impact of the Venus Transit,
and these words are simple in comparison, but life is simple, we no longer need
to complicate it.

It is now time to live whole-heartedly and consciously, awakened and inspired in
the present moment; it is time to be love and to live love. We are now ready to
open up to nirvana both within and without, for there is room for all of us to
live under the pink leaves of the lotus flower...

> > Posted by Steve Beckow
> >
> > The following is an excerpt from Heavenly Blessings, May 17, 2012, with
> > Lao Tzu.
> > Lao Tzu is the author of the Tao Teh Ching and Hua Hu Ching. His simple,
> > unfrilled explication of ˇ°the Wayˇ± has proven itself a classic of
> > spirituality
> > and won him countless adherents over centuries, well beyond the boundaries
> > of
> > what might be considered Taoism.
> >
> > The reference to the stick alludes to Lao TzuˇŻs first appearance to Linda
> > in
> > which he showed her a gnarled upright stick in perfect balance on his hand.
> > Linda discussed the incident in the preamble. The sage is that gnarled
> > stick in
> > perfect balance.
> >
> > My favorite image of Lao Tzu is one that he gave of himself sitting at the
> > roadside, across from a popular noodle stand. The hot steam is rising from
> > the
> > noodle pots across the way and travellers gather to eat and trade animated
> > gossip. Meanwhile, no one comes to partake of the weak meat soup that Lao
> > Tzu
> > has prepared in silence and dispenses from a pot by his side. To the
> > worldly
> > what Lao Tzu purveys is ˇ°weak meat soup.ˇ±
> >
> > One of the surprising admissions he makes is that it was he who incarnated

> > Lao Tzu: Greetings I am Lao Tzu.
> >
> > GD: Welcome.
> >
> > LT: And welcome to you and do not worry, you are in the stillness and you
> > are
> > balancing on the stick and you are balancing within and without. There are
> > many
> > challenges upon your planet at this time and the key is to stay within the
> > stillness and the balance of your heart and in that to stay in the balance

> > the stillness of your mind and your emotion. When you are in this place,
> > you are
> > also in the place of receptivity and you are able to bring forward what you

> > So, yes,
> > I have asked this channel for the opportunity to speak to all of you and I
> > welcome you.
> >
> > We have traveled together for a long time and we do so yet again. I have

> > Master,
> > what is so special about an old gnarled stick that is crooked and bent?ˇ±
> > Well,
> > first of all it teaches you, reminds you to honor the wisdom of the

> > But it is also a symbol of your life; it is a symbol of what each of you go

> > whose life is straightforward. There are always bends in the road. There
> > are
> > always unexpected detours. There are always bumps and perhaps gnarls. I
> > ask you
> > to take this stick and carry it and to practice balancing it that you may
> > honor
> > your journey. Do not strip it down, do not take the bark off it, do not
> > polish
> > it. Look at it in its perfect, natural form and appreciate it and then
> > appreciate your life.
> >
> > It is a time when many of you are going through a period of reflection, of
> > life
> > review, of examination of what you have done and not done, accomplished
> > and for
> > many of you this is tinged a little with judgment and sometimes
> > disappointment,
> > feelings of what might have been. My friends, this is not the purpose of
> > this
> > examination and reflection, quite the contrary. The purpose is to see and
> > to
> > exclaim and to claim everything you have done, everything you have come to
> > know,
> > everything that you have experienced. Not judging it as good, bad, or
> > indifferent but simply embracing it for the journey it has been.
> >
> > When I have walked the world as teacher and healer I would travel to the
> > villages and I would share the secrets of the healing and the chi, for it

> > really no secret at all. But when I would travel to the poorest village and

> > Do you
> > not wish you were there? I wish I could go.ˇ± And I would look at these

> > my fellow villagers, my fellow travelers and I would say to them ˇ°Look at
> > the
> > riches that surround you, for your feet are on the ground, they are in the
> > soil
> > all day long. You feel the heartbeat of the Mother, you awaken to the song
> > of
> > the birds as the sun rises in the sky, you feel the warmth of the day and
> > the
> > gifts of the breeze, you drink the fresh water with your hands, your
> > children
> > surround you, your grandchildren honor you. These are the riches.ˇ±
> >
> > For the emperor was always sick. He was always out of balance. And so,

> > why can
> > you not simply stay here and tend to me?ˇ± And I would always just smile

> > look at him and I would say to him ˇ°What you must do is put your feet on

> >
> > And so I say to you, my dear friends, my children, be grateful for your
> > stick;
> > be grateful for what you have, for even the hardships. The hardships have

> > meaning, to share with others. When you do not know sorrow, when you have
> > not
> > experienced any of the old realm, then how do you know how others feel,
> > what

> > and
> > the victories both large and small, for there are times in each of your

> > when simply opening your eyes and choosing to go forward another day is a
> > victory.
> >
> > But I do not simply leave you with empty reassurances. I have brought the
> > LaHoChi back that you would have the tools to restore, not only your
> > sacred self
> > but all of humanity and all of Gaia; that you would have in your hands, at
> > your
> > fingertips what is necessary to obtain, maintain and retain the balance in
> > all
> > things for this healing is not simply for the body, the mind, the spirit,
> > the
> > soul, it is also for situations, environments, and for the planet we love,

> > Gaia.
> >
> > But I have other gifts that I also wish to gift to you this day and I know

> > you have been gifted and blessed with the Silver Flame of Archangel Uriel.
> > Is he

> > oil cup, my light, for we simply place a wick as you would think of it in

> > oil and I give you this, I give you my light that burns deep orange, that

> >
> > But I want you to have this light as you travel into unknown territory so

> > self during this time of transition.
> >
> > But I am not a foolish old man; I know there will be moments when you will

> > a little nervous. And so I ask for you to use this light that you will see

> > ˇ®will this happen? will I make it?ˇŻ, then turn to me. There is nothing

> >
> > I also gift to you, my beloved friends, fellow journeyers, I give to you a

> > time. But I always carry this with me, I travel very light and my sack
> > holds
> > very little, but these are essential tools and it is what I have to share

> > you and so I do so joyfully; I do so in gratitude that you will accept
> > these
> > humble gifts from me. ˇ°Why the twine?ˇ± you say. It is very useful, it is
> > useful in a number of ways; first of all if you think you are running out

> > wicks for the oil simply cut a piece, it will burn brightly and show the

> > But primarily I give it to you that you may lay it down around you and form

> >
> > It is a time of unity and this has been always what I have taught. I have
> > taught
> > it in ancient China, I have taught it in Atlantis, I have taught it in
> > Tibet as
> > my incarnation as Djwhal Khul, I have taught the importance of unity. But
> > the
> > comfort level of unity, for you see that I tend to your comfort this

> > knowing your boundaries. If you do not feel safe and secure and if you do
> > not
> > feel within your safety and secure your sacred space which grows daily, my
> > dear
> > hearts, if you do not feel this sense of boundary, of the wonder, the
> > beauty,
> > the magnificence of your sacred self, the divine expression of who you are
> > in
> > every dimension, in every reality, then it becomes frightening for you
> > when we
> > say to you, ˇ°Join as one, acknowledge that you are one heart, part of one
> > mind,
> > one energy.ˇ± The fear will rise up because you think ˇ°I will lose myself
> > in
> > this seaˇ±.
> >
> > And of course ultimately that is the goal, but not at this stage, not at
> > this
> > stage of your journey. And so I give you this twine that you may lay down a
> > border, a boundary to define your beautiful self my sweet child and
> > healer, my
> > teachers, my gatekeepers, my showers of the way. So use this twine to
> > outline
> > what defines you and that you may feel safe in inviting people in or
> > opening the
> > door.
> >
> > And if you feel that you are going in this journey from the 3rd to the 5th

> > your way back home, that you will somehow lose your way, then simply

> > they believe that you do this for them not for you, so use the twine in

> > And it does not matter whether it is home to your own home where you think

> > family lives, where your children reside and love you, or home to the 5th

More about Minciu Sodas

Dear all,

 

We are writing the present mail to friends of Agnese (Maria) from outside Italy. On the 25^th of April many friends living in Italy met in Santa Marinella for a commemoration day during which her ashes were spread in the sea.

 

First we met in the church together with Don Matteo and could express thoughts and prayers. Then Kenneth and Giuseppe (Agnese’s brother) went on a fisherman boat in the sea to spread her ashes while the other friends were on the seaside singing a song written by her colleagues from INRAN. We then had a farewell to Agnese through shouting. The four NAFSI acrobats who were with us (Samuel, Patrick, Kenneth and Steve) could then illustrate to us their project with children in Nairobi and then perform on a little square of Santa Marinella.

It took quite some time to put together the video and photos taken by different people and we had technical problems. That's why more than a month has already passed. However we hope that by watching this video you will at least in part manage to feel what we could feel during this great day in which we could give her last respect and especially express our love and our gratitude for all the gifts we received from her.

To watch the video:

Please send this mail to anyone who is not in the mailing list but would like to receive it.

Peace

I'm sharing this article on Kenya: Saitoti's death and the coming battle with a heavy heart

I have copied parts of the article below which struck a particular chord, reminding me of all that happened in 2007/2008:

• the straight-from-the-heart response of the Minciu Sodas community when we discovered that our friends in Kenya were in trouble
• the amazing courage, fortitude, creativity and determination of the Kenyans, in Minciu Sodas and the wider Pyramid of Peace network, during the post election violence.
  

Pyramid of Peace activists played an unacknowledged role in reducing the impact of the violence, and in peace building and conflict resolution.

The article states  "In 2008 the main wars were in Western Province (Luoland) where (Kikuyu) police shot down Luo protesters, around Eldoret where Kikuyu immigrants were burned out of their homes and murdered by Kalenjin, and in Nairobi where battles took place in the poor slum areas between different ethnic groups."

Dear Pyramid of Peace Friends in Kenya - I remember how you were so active in those locations. I remember the heart-rending details that you were sending the rest of us in Minciu Sodas about what was happening - and how you refused to be divided by tribal loyalties. I remember too how the relationships that you had between each other reached across tribal boundaries. When there were attempts to push you into tribal divisions you stood firm. Your deep trust relationships enabled you to plan together and then go to your own tribal elders and persuade them to influence the warring youths. On top of that you were working with displaced people, you were helping individuals, you were responding to whatever needed a response given the limitation of financial support that those of us outside Kenya could send you.

Together we were making use of mobile phones, phone credits, the Internet, and established relationships of trust in wonderful, innovative and effective ways that maximiesd the potential of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). We were a community collaborating acting with one heart and mind and doing what we could in our own locations in so many different countries across Africa, Europe, and America (if I have forgotten other locations, please forgive me - and remind me)

What lessons did we learn my Minciu Sodas friends, and how can we draw on them  - to help prevent the horrors that his article suggests could lie ahead?

Even more importantly, how can we share those lessons? How can we use the practical experiences that we had of information sharing, practical on the ground responses, and  true collaboration achieving results in conditions of terrible violence, horror and need? Who are the  people who need to learn the lessons that we learned - and how do we tell them?
 
I feel we can't just wait and let it happen again - but we are not in positions of power or influence - "we are no-one" -  what do we do?

Richard Dowden - Director, RAS (Royal African Society) wrote:

"Appealing to and buying tribal loyalty became the name of the game. Kenya is probably now the most tribally divided nation in Africa. No wonder the 2007 election exploded into such  violence.... 

... the Kenyan election is wide open. Victory will go to the person who builds an alliance of tribal leaders. One thing is certain: Luo and Kikuyu will be on opposite sides. Raila Odinga, the Luo leader, will run and elements among the Kikuyu will do anything to stop him becoming president. For a while I thought that in 2008 Kenyans had reached the edge of the cliff and looked down. They wavered and pulled back. The militants were called off by their paymasters. Kofi Annan was on hand to help. Kenyans had seen a future that looked like hell and chose a fudged alliance of enemies instead.

That alliance is now falling apart. The new constitution has recreated a Kenya of 47 counties, whose elected governments will be funded by the state to spend as they wish.  It is, however, likely that a local politician from the dominant ethnic group in each county will be playing the ethnic card to garner support.

Pamela McLean,

Thank you for your intiative
http://www.dadamac.net/initiative/another-pyramid-peace
that we prepare and make sure that the March 2013 presidential elections
in Kenya are peaceful, without the violence that shocked us in 2008.

I expect that 2013 will be peaceful.  Many Kenyans care about peace and
many have experience in peaceful intervention from 2008.

Pamela, I appreciate all the more your concern that we prepare now for
peace.  We should not be complacent.  I imagine others are preparing for
violence.

Pamela, I appreciate your leadership and I wish to encourage you.  In
2008, I showed all the leadership I was able.  I took and gave all the
authority I could.

Pamela, you value what we achieved together with the Pyramid of Peace.
I'm glad that you're considering what we might take from that.

In response to your initiative, I apply my authority as Commander-in-Chief
of the Pyramid of Peace, as follows:
* Upon your consideration and acceptance, I appoint you
Commander-of-Operations through July, August, September 2012, or as I
decree otherwise, that you might boldly lead all who wish for a Pyramid of
Peace, as we had in 2008.
* Please choose a title (such as Convener, etc.) as you like best.
* I look to you to engage Kenyans and all who care, what may we do for
peace in Kenya in 2013? to reach out and include peacemakers of all
tribes, to analyze the potential for violence, to consider promising
solutions, to discuss what structures for coordination are most relevant
for 2013, to appreciate which individuals and what organizations we can
turn to for leadership.
* Please keep us informed if you see any need, any role in 2013 for a
command structure to support independent peacemakers, as I led in 2008.
* In general, do we need new groups, organizations or institutions? and
should they be related in any way to the Pyramid of Peace of 2008?
* Please consult especially with Janet Feldman as to how we can help
Kenyans, especially in reaching out across divisions.
* Please consult with Denis Kimambo, Kennedy Owino, Rachel Wambui Kungu
and Lawrence Achami, our Commanders, as to what Pyramid of Peace and other
groups might achieve for peace in Kenya in 2013.  I will consult with them
likewise.
* Please work publicly, as you do.
* I have redone our website http://www.pyramidofpeace.net to point to a
wiki http://www.pyramidofpeace.net/wiki/ for linking to relevant pages,
which may be at your website http://www.dadamac.net or as you think best.
Please know we can develop the website http://www.pyramidofpeace.net to
include a chat room and other functionality you think we'll need.

In this way, I offer you my authority that you might draw on it as much as
you like, if at all.  In that you do, please know that I judge you
competent, and I expect that you absorb and project that, as you serve, so
that others might likewise.  Embolden us!

I am very busy this July, August and September, and so I personally
appreciate your initiative.  I will have some free time in October,
November and December. I may be completely free in the first half of 2013.
  Thank you for valuing my participation!

Pamela, I think it's especially valuable at this time that you are based
in the UK, outside of Kenya.  We're showing that ethnic violence is not a
local concern, but a global concern.  You know and love people of many
tribes throughout Africa, and are not partial.  That's a great help!

Pamela, thank you!

Pamela McLean,

Thank you for your reply.  You don't see yourself in a leadership role.
Nevertheless, I do value your concern and strategic thinking.

Yes, at http://www.pyramidofpeace.net we do have an archive of our amazing
work together for peace in Kenya, which was public.  Some of the links
aren't working, though.  In December I expect to return to Lithuania and I
could fix things up and also collect my own reflections from then and
afterwards.  Perhaps we could publish an e-book to tell our stories and
share our lessons.

Pamela, I could set up a chat room at some point.  Best for me would be to
wait until December when I am back in Lithuania. I'm currently working
intensely on my art work "God's Face and God's Mind" which will hang in
the historic Pullman factory.  I've also been hired as a consultant to
help write research papers in tobacco control.  I have to finish the
latter work before I return to Lithuania.  Pamela, for Dadamac I could
work for $10 per hour and set up a chat room for you.  It may take up to
10 hours to set up and customize, but possibly 5 or so.  Alternatively, at
some point I might do it for free at pyramidofpeace.net if there is a
clear need.

I share my correspondence (through Facebook) with Kennedy Owino.  He's a
member of Nafsi Africa Acrobats and currently lives in Denmark.

Andrius Kulikauskas:

Hi Kennedy, how can I call you by phone or Skype? what is your number?
Pamela McLean wants to start "Another Pyramid of Peace" and I'd like to
encourage her leadership so I wanted to check with you and Dennis Kimambo
and Lawrence Achami regarding that. My thought is to keep Pyramid of Peace
as a command structure, continue as Commander-in-Chief and appoint her as
Commander-of-Operations for the next few months. She would start
preparations and explore what's most relevant for 2013, which might be
developing entirely new groups, structures, as she and others prefer, but
I would keep Pyramid of Peace ready to act as in 2008. What do you think?

-----------------------
Kennedy Nielsen Owino:

Dear Andrius,

  I hope you are doing good
  It would be great if we can catch up and talk over the phone, but Skype
would be o.k and cheaper.
  Anyway, my phone number is +4553140074 and skype address is
nafsiafrikaacrobats.
  I am busy these days with work but you can catch me any time after 5 pm
Danish time.
  When and what time do you prefer?

  It is an impressive idea to organise ourselves in preparation of
combating any violent eventuality that could follow the upcoming Kenya
General elections.
  I support your idea of approaching this through the Pyramid of Peace
initiative.
  However, i am not aware if the structure we used in 2008 would be
reliable or appropriate this time.
  I am saying this because it is long since i was back in Kenya.
  I do not have first hand comprehension of the realities at the grassroots.
  Have there been a shift in cultures and ways of thinking? Is there
hostility breeding underneath waiting to explode? Are certain tribes/
ethnic groups, proscribed and militia groups regrouping and preparing for
revenge and/ or another wave of attacks?
  Is there harmony amongst neighbouring tribes which would be seen even
after the elections? What are the contesting politicians messages to
their tribes?
  These are questions i may need to ask myself, or explore the answers
before giving you my views.
  It would be great to contact the likes of Denis Kimambo, Rachel Wangui,
Achami etc to get their opinions.
  I believe they have an upper hand in knowing exactly how the situation
stands at the ground.

  There are many initiatives already in force crusading and advocating for
Peace and sensitizing Kenyans on Peaceful attitudes during the elections
period.
  We just have to be sensitive on our approaches through the Pyramid of Peace.
  Since people are still in the healing process, some are still hurting, we
still have the internally displaced people in the camps and this period
reminds many of the bloodshed, toture, pain and humiliation they
underwent.
  One wrong wording or action that is not sensitive to the needs and
emotions of the people may diffuse or be mis- interpreted as hate speech,
insightment or a provocation to Violence.

  Peace,

  Ken Owino

  P.S: You are welcome to share my ideas on MSLab.

1. What I wrote in the e-learning chapter ref my experiences as a DIY e-learner in alternative academia
2. Posts I have written regarding my personal learning journey online - and my attempts to find appropriate descriptions that would not be open to misunderstanding - and my final decision to give up using established descriptions and instead describe myself as a Dadamac learner - i.e. "my kind of learner"
3. Responses to that post where some of my contacts claimed to be Dadamac learners as well.
4. The idea that if I wasn't the only one - and as we aren't just learners, we also teach each other - I'd change the description and not just have dadamac learners, but i had have an online space for us - the Dadamacademy.
5. Blogs I have written regarding Dadamacademy Dream or Reality, and Don't Share an Idea, Build a Prototype.
6. People in my online network who describe our relationship in terms of me being their teacher (although I always try to point out that we are teaching each other and I am also learning)   

Going back to the Illich quote - The current search for new educational funnels must be reversed into the search for their institutional inverse: educational webs.

The funnel idea could have a couple of meanings. It could tie in with the top down model of education which pours "right answers" into people, or it could relate to the industrial "production line" approach to education (taking people and pushing them through the system to turn them into employment fodder). The Dadamacademy ideas do reverse the old "funnel" appraoches.

......their institutional inverse: educational webs....

Dadamacademy of course is a small web-based community involved in various learning happenings.

......educational webs which heighten the opportunity for each one....

Dadamacademy has no entrance requirements - except for practical present limitations due to lack of resources:

1. Needing to use English as the language for learning because I'm involved in everything and I can only work in English. If more people were involved then other languages would be used. I think the majority of Dadamac learners are multilingual. 
2. Needing to have access to the Internet - even if it is infrequent access and low  bandwidth. This presents financial challenges to various Dadamac learners as well as logistical ones. It would be good to be able to help them have less problematic access.
   

heighten the opportunity for each one to transform each moment of his living into one of learning....

1. The range of topics to be studied are limited to the areas of overlapping interests within the Dadamacadamy community - but as we get more people (and better systems to help them find each other) that could grow. 
   
2. Learners touched by the fully developed Dadamacademy approach and networked community could certainly learn much more that if they were outside it - so there would be heightened opportunity.
3. The amount of time spent is up to the individual.

.......learning, sharing, and caring.....

Given a philosophy of knowledge creation, open-ness. Peer 2 Peer, learning commons, etc I guess we cover the sharing aspect

Hi Pamela,

Thank you for writing about Ivan Illich and also for sharing your own
learning experiences.  Yes, I'm interested in that, too.  I'm overwhelmed
with work on my latest art, God's Mind and God's Face, and so I don't know
if I'll manage to snatch any time until it's up on September 22-23 in
Pullman.  I'm trying to survey the full variety of meaningful episodes in
life. They all have to do with learning. I'm especially interested now how
one episode relates with another. I'll be staying in touch.

Andrius
