Tricky!

We leave for Saraguro today to meet with a community and present our project. It is an exciting time to be an anthropologist. The community is about one third indigenous.Traditional agriculture is the primary occupation. The spiritual beliefs and traditions remain strong.

The bait: American Dream The switch: you can never get there, but thank you for playing!

Turnout for the Indivisible Ecuador No Kings protest rally was the largest we've ever seen. Thanks to all who helped make it possible, and all who attended!

Wonders never cease. I just got word that the publisher of my book on Texas Archeology had been acquired by Bloomsbury Publishing, UK. It languished under Rowman and Littlefield for decades. So, it looks like I may be getting royalties from it again. a.co/d/hREOPCb

100 thousand marched against the gold mining project in Kimsakocha. The permit had been revoked. The water will flow untouched and uncontaminated.

A heartfelt thank you to all who marched. #MarchaPorElAgua

Ancestral Wisdom As darkness overtakes us from the east, we kindle a fire. Our fire doesn't banish the dark; it preserves the light. Around it we gather. We hold one another in respect. This is how we overcome the darkness: one circle of light, then another. And in time, the daylight returns.

The next nationwide "No Kings Day" has been announced for Saturday, October 18. Indivisible Ecuador will hold our protest on that day at Common Grounds from 12:30 to 2 p.m. An expert on data protection issues will present information to educate us on this subject. City: Cuenca, Ecuador

Power of Threefold Life, like an instrument, needs to be kept in tune. When we emit with care, we don’t just shape ourselves, we shape the resonance of the world around us. And when it comes back threefold, it’s the environment reminding us how powerful every gesture truly is. #ForumMetaKosmos

Why Ayni? At this late stage of my life, I feel called to live in reciprocity: to seed harmony where discord has reigned. My hope is simple: that my friends, near and far, might feel a resonance in their own lives. Each circle becomes a muyu, each gesture a seed of Ayllu Pacha— a world community.

yachaymuyu.com/ayllu-pacha.... is live. Our first initiative is Ayllu Pacha: Global Community, recognizing restoration of reciprocity to community.

• The shamanic practices I’ve witnessed aren’t theatrical or symbolic They’re methods of temporal alignment All of it works to tune the mind, the body; the field of the self to a deeper current A shaman doesn’t float through space...he listens across time #ForumMetaKosmos

• I used to think spiritual practice was about seeking some higher state. But I’ve come to see it differently. It’s not about reaching up. It’s about tuning in. The practice is clearing interference, making space, honoring the moment I’m in, honoring the place I stand—and letting that be enough.

MetaKosmos is a transcendental paradigm—an open, integrative framework that defines the conditions for knowing reality. It affirms the value of science and mathematics while recognizing the limits of empiricism, uniting measurable phenomena within a continuous, coherent universe. #ForumMetakosmos

This idea provides the machinery of consciousness but not the source. Consciousness is innate. Not emergent. My new book, Ikiam will take this notion to a new level. Study: Consciousness is quantum, connecting us all to the universe - Earth.com www.earth.com/news/study-c...

I don't think F-47 realizes that he just pushed all his chips to the center of the table. He's all in and so are we. We weren't even at the table but we're committed to this poorly informed bet. This is escalation without strategy.

All of F-47's past posts are prologue

I absolutely love this woman.

It should be a working holiday anyway. He has too many nonworking (golfing) holidays.

Happy Juneteenth!

Cynical but typical.

When you offend the middle-aged, straight white guy, populist don't hardly describe you anymore.
