Jeremy Weiland’s remarks during city council, Feb 10, 2020
My name is Jeremy Weiland and I live in the 5th district. I support a motion to strike. Tons of great arguments have been made, but I want to make a different point.
We need a moratorium on these schemes that use tax funds for private development. We have infrastructure, schools and people that need direct, immediate attention. Leadership in this city keeps wanting the private real estate development community to hand them miracles on a silver platter. It represents the rejection of democracy and of politics as a means for conducting the public’s business. All of these schemes like Navy Hill rely upon a belief that progress is something that gets done to us, not something we participate in. If you want to know who will help you organically create a better Richmond, look at all the people here participating, eager to make some mark on the place they call home. The idea we have to make the wealthy even richer just to keep from going under as a city is a deeply discredited myth that needs to be ended, not just

Carl Jung, The Undiscovered Self; Page 64

The religious person enjoys a great advantage when it comes to answering the crucial question that hangs over our time like a threat: he has a clear idea of the way his subjective existence is grounded in his relation to “God”. I put the word “God” in quotes in order to indicate that we are dealing with an anthropomorphic idea whose dynamism and symbolism are filtered through the medium of the unconscious psyche. Anyone who wants to can at least draw near to the source of such experiences, no matter whether he believes in God or not. Without this approach it is only in rare cases that we witness those miraculous conversions of which Paul’s Damascus experience is the prototype. That religious experiences exist no longer needs proof. But it will always remain doubtful whether what metaphysics and theology call God and the gods is the real ground of these experiences. The question is idle, actually, and answers itself by reason of the subjectively overwhelming numinosity of the experience. Anyone who has had it

Social Media as Catalyst

Social Media as Catalyst

or, "Gaze into your news feed, see the Creator"

Social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. are wonderful tools for connecting with otherselves. However, I will be focusing on their not-so-wonderful sides because it is here where we encounter catalyst.

What is the unique illusion of social media?

  • a subset of internet experience
  • unified platform under one authority's administration
    • security
    • rules

A note about the transcripts shared on Twitter

ABOUT THE CONTENTS OF TRANSCRIPTS SHARED ON THIS TWITTER ACCOUNT

The telepathic channelings shared on this Twitter account have been taken from transcriptions of the weekly study and meditation meetings of the Rock Creek Research & Development Laboratories and L/L Research. They are offered in the hope that they may be useful to you. As the Confederation entities always make a point of saying, please use your discrimination and judgment in assessing this material. If something rings true to you, fine. If something does not resonate, please leave it behind, for neither we nor those of the Confederation would wish to be a stumbling block for any.

From "Tilting at Windmills: An Interview with Carla L. Rueckert and Jim McCarty" by Gary L. Bean

We know Ra was always very eager for people to get to know themselves. "Know yourself, accept yourself, become the Creator." Most people do not know themselves. They know themselves as they wish to be, but they have not grappled with certain aspects of their shadow side that constitute the rich, fertile field of what the negative entity can use. If you don't know about it, it will be used, and that right quickly. So it's good to know yourself. Ra has always emphasized that.

David Foster Wallace quote from "The Soul is Not a Smithy"

I think in a country when we have it as easy as we do, one of our big dread vectors is boredom. I think little edges of despair and soul-level boredom appear in things like homework or particularly dry classroom stuff. I can remember the incredible soaring relief of when certain teachers would say we were going to watch a movie in grade school and it wasn't just a hedonistic "oh, we're going to have fun"; it was a relief from some terrible burden.
