Indigenous Peoples 'Awarded'
Social Equality + Legal Protection AT LAST!

"Now the lives of indigenous peoples will be on an equal footing with the rest of world citizens.’ 
Kiplangat Cheruiyot of the Ogiek tribe, Kenya.

"Governments can no longer treat us as second-class citizens, and tribal peoples are now protected from being  thrown off their lands." 
Jumanda Gakelebone, Bushman of First People of the Kalahari, Botswana
Indigenous peoples around the world are celebrating the UN General Assembly’s passing of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples which was finally approved on September 13th by an overwhelming majority in an historic vote in New York.

It's the climax of 22 years of intensive debate and negotiation.  Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States voted against the declaration, whilst 143 nations voted in favour and 11 abstained.

Survival’s director Stephen Corry said today, ‘The declaration on indigenous peoples, with its recognition of collective rights, will raise international standards in the same way as the universal declaration on human rights did nearly 60 years ago.  It sets a benchmark by which the treatment of tribal and indigenous peoples can be judged, and we hope it will usher in an era in which abuse of their rights is no longer tolerated.’

The declaration recognises the rights of indigenous peoples to ownership of their land and to live as they wish.  It also affirms that they should not be moved from their lands without their free and informed consent.

FACING THE LAST TABOO:
WHY DID THE QUAKERS STOP QUAKING
AND THE SHAKERS STOP SHAKING?
Is it related to why the majority of technologically developed cultures all but eliminated shaking bodies from public performance, worship, and healing encounters? 
>> RECLAIM THE CHURCHES!

I believe that ecstatic shaking is the last great taboo for the technologically developed (but spiritually underdeveloped) world.  Studying what happened to the shake and quake in Europe and North America shows that the greatest fear about the body does not necessarily concern sexual expression, but liberation of the body into full-flight ecstatic expression.

Seeing shaking, quaking, and sometimes convulsing bodies calls forth the social labels of “madness,” “neurological disorder,” “psychological dissociation,” and “possession by evil spirits.”  Most of us, along with the quieted Shakers and Quakers, have stopped shaking because what we fear most is being out of control or being seen by others as sick, bad, or mad.

Yet the paradox of human experience is that we seek the transcendent experience that requires us to surrender control.  Examining what happened to the Quakers and Shakers may help us understand how to overcome this fear and taboo, opening the door for shaking medicine to return in a good way.

There was tremendous religious and political upheaval in England during the middle of the 17TH century.  It was a time of horrible imprisonment, irrational cruelty, and great social tension.  In that time of suffering, people, particularly those among the poor, began proclaiming miracles, prophecies, and shaking ecstasy.  One of the main spiritual figures to arise was George Fox, credited with the formation of the Quaker religion.
>> an early rave promoter?

Originally called “The Children of the Light,” Fox’s followers were later called Quakers because of the violent trembling that came upon them when they worshipped.  As people experienced the “inner light of the spirit,” they realised and professed that all human beings, rich and poor, educated and uneducated, were equal.  Furthermore, they asserted that the true Christian had an “indwelling life of Christ” that was more important than the scriptures.  It was the inner spirit that could reveal the truth of the Bible, not a socially anointed religious authority.
>> ain't that wot i say with every line?!

It didn’t take long for the ecstatic Quakers, or Friends, as they called themselves, to be called witches and heretics.  It didn’t matter that the Quakers quoted the Bible to defend their quaking, pointing out that Moses “quaked,” David “roared,” and Jeremiah “trembled.”  They were still found guilty of harbouring evil ways.  Some were dunked, bridled, whipped, bored through the tongue with a hot iron, branded on the forehead with the letter B (for blasphemer), and sent to jail. 
>> by the time the Ravers came along the human race had evolved waaaaay beyond this.

As persecution continued over the years, the Quakers gave up their ecstatic and prophetic role in society and changed to being calm advocates of education and organized meetings.  The persecution stopped along with their quaking.  The taboo against quaking and shaking had been maintained.
>> as it was for another 400 years as the human race evolved and the alternative culture grew until today when it struggles to the death with the ruling culture.

Quaker and syndicated columnist David Yount wrote an essay in 2002 asking the question, “Why Did Quakers Stop Quaking?”  He ended his essay by quoting an elder Quaker in his eighties who gave this response: “I know why I don’t quake.  I don’t ask God the hard questions about what he requires me to do with my life.  I’m afraid that if I ask him, God will tell me something difficult that I’m unwilling to do.  But if I was willing to listen to him, and do what he demands, then I’d start quaking.”

The taboo against full ecstatic expression of the human body is nothing mysterious or difficult to understand.  When people enter into wild experience, they feel and look out of control.  In this space, the socially established laws, rules, mores, and officiating hierarchies have no authority.
>> which is why i've always used the word Trance as meaning "removal from trance".

It should be no surprise that most shaking and quaking has historically been associated with the oppressed.  The oppressed find that shaking is a medicine for the suffering of the human spirit.  It sets them free, and opens the doors to the kingdoms of bliss.  When people feel and express their deepest freedom, the surrounding social institutions will do everything they can to suppress the liberating spirit, covering it with an institutional shell and setting up explanations, routines, and monitors to bring everyone back into control.
>> and why do they do this?  because they SENSE the power to CHANGE that is unleashed within.

Walking Eagle
The Native Americans held a special ceremony to honour President George W. Bush with the native appellation, "Walking Eagle".

President Bush spoke for almost an hour on his future plans for increasing every Native American's present standard of living.  He referred to his career as Governor of Texas, how he had signed "YES" 1,237 times - for every Indian issue that came to his desk for approval.  Although the President was vague on the details of his plan, he seemed most enthusiastic about his future ideas for helping his "red brothers".

At the conclusion of his speech, the Tribes presented the President with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name - Walking Eagle.  The proud President then departed in his motorcade, waving to the crowds.

A news reporter later inquired of the group of chiefs how they had come to select the new name given to the President.  They explained that Walking Eagle is the name given to a bird so full of shit it can no longer fly.

 NEW MUST HAVE BOOK!NEW BOOK

FOR THE BEST OF TIME LEARY'S WRITINGS,
INFORMATIONS, INSPIRATIONS,
PRONOUNCEMENTS AND PREDICTIONS
there's a new book out from Ronin Press called The Fugitive Philosopher which is as good an introduction to the man, prophet & activist as exists.   no member of rave culture can possibly understand his own alternative history & context without at least digesting this book. 
Busted for an infinitesimal personal supply of pot in 1965, Professor Timothy Leary was sentenced to 25 years in prison.  Unlike thousands of other victims of the Repression of the New Wave he escaped, and thus began an almost farcical odyssey (but terribly terribly real) : the former West Point military student and Harvard professor of psychology was now an acid-tripping, idealist, freedom- and planet-loving fugitive.  In his delightfully irreverent and penetrating accounts, Leary describes his life on the lam in Algeria; how he was sheltered (and ripped off) by an arms dealer in Switzerland; his exploits with the Weathermen, Brian Barritt, and Eldridge Cleaver, who tried to take him hostage; and his eventual betrayal, capture and illegal rendition to the United States of Amerika.  The paperback book includes black and white illustrations throughout.
SPREAD THE WORD!  DECIDE FOR YOURSELF!
DON'T LET THE ESTABLISHMENT DO HIM DOWN
COS YOU WILL BE NEXT AND SO WILL I!

This was my gift for The GreenMan.  A series of (originally) 7 ‘visionary broadsheets’ aiming to channel the high magick of the playa, one for each day.  Officially “an open source journal of black rock poetics, ideation & mythography. & occasional Goddess pin-ups.”

I printed 100 copies of each 11×17 sheet, passed them out to camp-mates, neighbors, passersby, and sundry entities lurking at CenterCafe in the wee hours.

Interview with God
(For Heinz Pagels)

In the movie "Contact"
based on Carl Sagan's book
radio scientist Jodie Foster is teleported to the star Vega
where she speaks face-to-face with an alien intelligence.

But the movie left out 
Sagan's most tantalising conjecture:
"What do aliens want?"

Having become bored with their iPhones and teleportation machines
Having long ago mastered the Seven Sciences unknown to man
Carl Sagan's aliens are engaged in a vast mathematical effort
to decode messages hidden by the Creator of the Universe
in the sequence of the millionth digits of irrational numbers
such as pi, "e" and the square root of two.
Sagan's aliens have, in effect, returned to cosmic kindergarten
where they are busy learning to read
a truly Holy Scripture 
built into the very structure of elemental math.

For my birthday my friend Dave Fazo
gave me a book of Richard Feynman's letters
wherein I discovered a second clue.
Feynman was asked why we should continue to do physics
when the powers thereby gained are so easily abused.
I expected a defense along the lines of
the intrinsic nobility of pursuing truth for its own sake
so was surprised by Feynman's reply:
"Why do we do physics? So we can love Nature more."

If the world is full of hidden messages
where would they most likely be concealed?
Not in cold sequences of mathematical digits
but closer at hand, in the richness of our sensual experience
encrypted in what our living eyes and ears bring in
hidden in the smells and tastes and the feel of things
encoded in glances, touches and ordinary conversations.
Perhaps God resides, not in some far-off heaven
but is here and now, as the Sufis say,
as near as the vein in your throat.

And so I bound myself
to the Guild of God's Cryptographers
whose work (and play) it is 
to decode God's hidden messages 
encrypted in the daily experience of our senses
using the one key we know:
Blaise Pascal's "reason that the heart knows."

For years I toiled
learning the ropes
suffering doubts and defeats
until yesterday I was rewarded
with one clear-text message
of the sort readable by Guild acolytes
of the lowest rung.

Because of its elemental nature
Guild policy permits me 
to share with you the content of 
My First Message from God.
It decrypts like this:

"Hi there
Don't be afraid.

Remember Me?
I made you
And I made Myself beautiful for you.

Here I am, honey
Take Me.

Enjoy Me well, honey
Then show Me
How much you love Me."

Hi Fraser,
As ever the UP! brings light and laughter to the world.
I think there should be a new term for people of our kind... we're not terrorists, we're Terra-ists!
After all, if the mediate constantly bombard us with images of the "War on Terror", we'll get precisely that, War on Terra... 

Instead, if we "Peace on Terra".. then thats what we'll get

So anyone fancy joining me and being a Terra-ist?  :-) 
I should explain for those of you not in the know.. Terra is a word for Earth.. after all, I suspect that all of us subscribing to UP! are looking for peace...

Love, Peace and happy days ahead

Dear Fraser,
Re AIDS/HIV, I could talk to you for hours about the many toxins
present in food, vaccinations, toiletries and how there's no law in
this country to protect the consumer.  If anyone would like to
know more, just let me know and I'll send you an info sheet on toiletries.
I used to do talks on things like soya (and how it's so bad for you
and your kids especially if you are pregnant), car anti freeze
(propylene glycol)being present in many personal care products,
engine de-greaser (sodium lauryl sulphate) also being present in many
personal care products, the cancer-causing acrylamide present in all
biscuits, crisps (and any product that combines a carbohydrate and fat
at high temperature) rapeseed oil (more commonly known as "Canola"
(or short for Canadian Oil) being a relative of Agent Orange and no insects
go near it as it's very poisonous so why are we using it??
rat poison present in mainstream "fluoride" toothpaste etc etc.
Thanks for putting your emails together, I always find them interesting
and informative!
