Living Spirit Nature Church

09/24/2024

How can I get rid of this page? I once liked it on the request of James Quirk but according to Facebook and Living Spirit Nature Church itself I became one of its managers without my consent. I never asked for that and I don't want to be a manager of this page of Living Spirit Nature Church. I've been taken hostage so it seems.
I don't want to have anything to do anymore with this page or organisation. But I can't find no single way to escape from this church. No 'leave this group' button. No possibility to 'unlike'.

Next to that, the linked organisation Panaware seems to be full of scammers. One of them seems to have hacked my account. And because of that, Facebook is deleting posts on my own account because it suddenly contains spam and other illegal stuff.

Don't respond to any notification from someone who pretends to be from Meta and/or is linked to Panaware, threatening you that your account will be blocked if you don't respond and don't click on the provided links to communicate with them.
My virus protection warned me to go back to 'safe' . But I guess it was already too late. The notification of that 'Meta person' I responded to, disappeared into thin air after I followed the advise of my virus protection system. Ever since then however I keep getting warnings on my screen that "something has gone wrong".
And after that, Facebook deleting my post tonight and accusing me of spreading spam among other things.
Also after I declined a proposal coming from Panaware when I was checking their page, I was asked to fill in a safety code, sent to me by Facebook to my e-mail. Which they did, but also warning me that if I didn't request for any safety code, it's an attempt to completely hack my Facebook account and maybe even much worse.

This is part of what Facebook notified me about tonight, after I posted a YouTube link of a piece of music, something I already did hundreds of times without any problem:

"We don't allow people to share or send anything that contains misleading links or content.
Examples of things that we don't allow
Taking people to a website that is significantly different to what was shown or sent to them
Taking people to a landing page that impersonates another website
Disguising where a link is taking someone using repeated redirects or cloaking"

Be careful people. It's a dangerous world out there but also in this Living Spirit Nature Church....

'The Crises Are a Conscious Strategy for Social Destruction' - Boaventura de Sousa Santos

"Boaventura de Sousa Santos, 'a monument in the social sciences', explains how we are all being taken by the nose.
He also pointedly points out the 7 threats that the crises entail. Food for thought.

According to Boaventura de Sousa, the situation in the world today is quite hopeless for the majority of the world's population. A development model that excludes the vast majority who cannot create a future. We urgently need to find a model in which there is room for everyone, and that is only possible if we abandon one-dimensional thinking and the colonial pattern of power and recognise diversity.
We are embroiled in protracted crises and while crisis situations usually contain nuclei for change, this is not the case this time.
Today's crises are a permanent crisis that imposes itself and closes all doors.

The Condition Is Hopeless And So Serious That “Doing Nothing” Is Not An Option

1) There is an urgent need for alternatives, but never before has it been so difficult to shape alternatives.

2) Although we live in a visual culture, political imagination is very far away. It is difficult to make believe that another world is possible. Our creativity seems dead.

3) Due to this lack of alternatives, there is no longer any real political debate, which means that people tend to accept the situation as it is and surrender to the order of things.

4) However, the situation as it is is essentially unsustainable: a world deeply divided, between the haves and the have-nots: those who have the latest version of iPhone and those who have no access to technology at all. And inequality continues to grow.

5) The Western concept of development is still used, even by established institutions, although it has become completely discredited, look at the billions of people who remain excluded from it. Rather, the concept of development produces underdevelopment.

6) We need to do a better job of talking about alternatives to development and thinking about how we can achieve social change.

7) This thinking about alternatives must be done in a systematised and scientific manner, in order to arrive at what de Sousa calls “disruptive epistemologies”, an epistemology that breaks with the one-dimensional dominant Western approach to knowledge. After all, the world contains a diversity of visions and insights and it is urgent time to explore, visualize and systematize them, before all that wealth is absorbed by the monster of colonialism, capitalism and patriarchy, the trio that De Sousa likes to represent and fencing with.

Some Principles for a New View of Reality:

A new “ontology”: a new way of understanding ourselves in this existence, especially as beings in relation to each other; he refers to African and Indian philosophies;
A new perspective that replaces the concept of “development”; a different way of seeing ourselves in relation to nature; for example, the concept of “sumac causai”, the Good Life, as included in the constitutions of Ecuador and Bolivia;

1- Concept of “degrowth” and eco-socialism;

2- Concept of the commons, to remove essential common goods such as water, soil, seeds, etc. from the sphere of the market.

3- But above all, says de Sousa, it is a matter of dignity and recognition of all those diversities, and also: that other world will only come if we really, really want it."

Be supernormal, transnormal, postnormal. Be the truth you really are.

At 19, I read a sentence that re-terraformed my head: “The level of matter [and energy] in the universe has been constant since the Big Bang.”

In all the aeons we have lost nothing, we have gained nothing - not a speck, not a grain, not a breath. The universe is simply a sealed, twisting kaleidoscope that has reordered itself a trillion trillion trillion times over.

Each baby, then, is a unique collision - a cocktail, a remix - of all that has come before: made from molecules of Napoleon and stardust and comets and whale tooth; colloidal mercury and Cleopatra’s breath: and with the same darkness that is between the stars between, and inside, our own atoms.

When you know this, you suddenly see the crowded top deck of the bus, in the rain, as a miracle: this collection of people is by way of a starburst constellation. Families are bright, irregular-shaped nebulae.

Finding a person you love is like galaxies colliding. We are all peculiar, unrepeatable, perambulating micro-universes - we have never been before and we will never be again.

Oh God, the sheer exuberant, unlikely face of our existences. The honour of being alive. They will never be able to make you again.

Hehe, so offbeat.

Made with recycled materials, the large-scale sculptures are meant to encourage visitors to get out into nature
