[for March 13th in Taichung, Taiwan]
in preparation for my own answer to
“What meaning does the zeitgeist movement hold for you?”
hashing out multiple thoughts, and refining my response on this particular blogpost..
a population possessing spare cash has no need for credit cards or loans.(DEBT)
my friend recently graduated and has just been given a job. what did he achieve?
a promise of a chance to be at the beck and call of someone..
my friend that took on a failing business and it’s debt
in order to provide for his family by “working for himself”. is he working for himself?
students at the bushiban i work at are given toy money
which symbolizes money
which symbolizes value
which symbolizes measurement of things that truly are Priceless!our shared human history may be considerably greater than is taught in schools today.
if we do not yet understand who we ARE, we equally do not understand what is at risk should we decide to give up now.
possibly MORE than our planet might be lost, as if this place filled with green, crawling, swimming, flying, singing LIFE were merely a poker chip..
what IF this is our last chance for the next 100,000 years to get it right, what if for the next 15 BILLION?!
throughout our history, many wonderful people have sought to improve the situation of their fellow human beings.
looking at the current state of affairs we have yet to become civilized( to paraphrase jacque fresco).
breast implants for men or women, is this the best our medicine can do?
educating our children into mediocrity, the best our teachers aspire to?
winning a personal injury court case, having a court enter a restraining order
the BEST expression of mutual respect and equality between women and men?
breeding more and increasingly more blood and bone robots for the production line a goal worthy of escalation?
is olympic exploitation really the pinnacle of human physical development?
offering our eternal souls to systems of control,
inside poor buildings of stone built on the ashes of MILLIONS the highest spirituality we can attain?
i don’t know those answers, but i’ve a million more questions!
ZDAY celebrates ALL of us, and all the dreams that deserve a chance. just a chance!
the possibility of realization to balance the inefficiencies and suffering we see all around us.
inefficiency moving toward efficiency. suffering moving toward Global sharing of resources.
let us work out the solutions together
lest we remain beings with “a thousand pasts and no future.”(the secret in their eyes)
the GUERRILLA ClassROOM 
“It is not easy to stay on the sidelines while others are busy getting rich. Wall Street, moreover, is constitutionally predisposed to overdo things. The stereotype imagines a Wall Street populated by bulls and bears. In reality, the Street itself is neither bull nor bear but shark, constantly shifting direction in an eternal search for food. This feeding process involves massive shifts of capital, which inevitably, is sometimes misallocated.” – J. Ezra Merkin, writing in an introduction to a chapter in the 75th anniversary version of Graham and Dodd’s Security Analysis.
@tommyjohniii My 7th round of training inputs for the day, none of which needed any equipment other than a Viking Hammer for some shoulder moves after my full spinal hygiene pictured here.
Training is preparing your body to manage the spiritual, emotional, mental, intellectual and physical forces of life through movement at every joint from toes to thumbs to an intention and energetic level greater than anything you would ever encounter in life or have ever encountered that left you injured or damaged. You must train greater than your level of sleep all the way above the highest level of love, despair, fear, falls or other magnificent individual interpretations of your life. Training must be able to be done alone, outside of a facility or gym, with minimal to no equipment, dangerous enough to create the changes expected and sustainable and repeatable enough to be saturated in failure and as a result the highest level of learning a human being can acquire.
Preparing for a life full of 168 hours of events packed with emotions and physical encounters by going to a yoga studio 3 times a week?š„“ Or a Pilates class (hospital bed training) 4 times a week?š„“ Or your spin class 5 times a week?š„“ Or your online program 2-3 days a week with the best equipment your gym has to offer?š„“ There is no fucking planet where a human can expect to thrive when their āpreparedā body is performing below their ālifeā body. None. And your bodies are letting you know this with symptoms of healing responses like pain, inflammation, swelling, fear, apprehension, shifted vertebrae, shifted pelvis, tight musculatureā¦none of which need fixed or managed or adjusted, ever.
You need to prepare your bodies for the lives you desire to live. And you do this through training inputs. All day. Everyday. Until your last breath.
Human? Move.
Older human? Move more.
Injured human? Move most.
