This is the weekly feature of the Sustainable Agriculture Group when we take a few moments to reconnect with our Earth and reflect on nature and all she gives us. Today the focus is on the most important element on Earth that without it, seeds would not grow. Water. Water nourishes the seeds and shares with them the life that then flows through us. Without it agriculture would disappear and so would we. So as you watch this, think of how much water is a part of our lives and give thanks for its grace, beauty, power, life, and energy.This is the weekly feature of the Sustainable Agriculture Group when we take a few... more

From the king size sky,
raspy caws curve outward
from the beaks of soaring clothes pins;
unfasten billed clamps from sunfaded sheets
soaked in upcoming seasons, in need of wash.
Fallen earthtones shatter green
outings, munching on the exiting crowd,
skinning their leafy knees on unshackled laces
as they whip through fragile old age
kicking the casualties of passing
seasons, sprinkling the glitter of crones
about the misty, mourning lawn.From the king size sky,

Dancing for a Vision
"Great Spirit, show me the way. I hold the lifeline of the Shaman's rattle and drum. I let myself go into the sacred dance. In the dance there is no past or future, only the eternal now. Circling round the fire, I will dance until my mind is clear and my heart is pure. May I see the path with a heart, the path of healing."
Studio notes: Ancient peoples from around the world have some kind of ecstatic rite that involves dancing. In this song we combined Native and African drums with a modern dance groove to create a compelling dance rhythm and then added our northern plains G Minor Native-American flute, acoustic guitar and lush keyboards to help our listeners lose themselves in the dance of life.
Thank you for listening.
May all beings walk in peace.The weekly feature of the Sustainable Agriculture Group:

This is the weekly feature of the Sustainable Agriculture Group where we pay homage to the Earth that gives us all life. This is one of my favorite songs. I think it is relaxing, reflective, and erotic. Desire encompasses many things and crosses many species just as the act of planting a seed and harvesting a crop is seen by cultures as spiritual and erotic in nature.

When you look at your reflection in your business card holder, I know you want to see a "killer" but not a Christian Bale/Patrick Bateman kind of killer. Not a PSYCHO. You want to see a killer of a person. An ace of a guy or gal. Not someone's pain in the ass. Disperse them carefully. Don't become that person whose card lies at the bottom of a purse where in a year's time a woman, when cleaning it out says, "Who the hell is this?" and trashes it. Watermarks, embossing--it doesn't matter--choose wisely my friends. Choose wisely.When you look at your reflection in your business card holder, I know you want to see... more

This is the weekly installment of the Sustainable Agriculture Group where we hope to reconnect with our Earth which provides us the water and seeds that give life to all.
I myself see a great battle coming, and it is one between those who wish to show people the truth of the deceptions being laid before them, and the peddlers of false promises and materialism. Will the day of the awakening to that truth be December 21, 2012? I cannot predict for sure but I do know that we must see this day come soon, and this video lays out the ways we can make a true transition to an age of enlightenment and peace as opposed to one of subjugation of the mind and soul.
I also believe that freedom comes from the ability to control your own seeds, water, and to have food sovereignty. There is no greater freedom than the ability to have the power over your own sustenance, which is what these peddlers of false promises and materialism are looking to take from us. The battle for food and water is the great battle of our time and goes to the core of what we are as human beings. It is our very survival we will have to fight for, and I truly believe in order for us to win this battle we must learn from the demise of previous civilizations and this time get it right. Each day brings us closer to the defining moment of our age. It's time to get ready.This is the weekly installment of the Sustainable Agriculture Group where we hope to... more

This is the weekly feature of the Sustainable Agriculture Group http://current.com/groups/sustainable-agriculture that seeks to bring us back to the Earth and to reflect on its beauty. This video shows footage of the Amazon Rainforest. It is without gas flares, oil drums, GMOs, cattle grazing, slash and burn, and all of the ways in which man is totally disrespecting this diverse and wonderful place that is the lungs of our planet.
Please watch and reflect and then work to support sustainable agricultural methods and environmental respect for those places which provide nature with all it needs to thrive.
Thank you.This is the weekly feature of the Sustainable Agriculture Group... more

Daniel Rozin created four mechanical mirrors of various materials that are actually pieces of interactive art. The mirrors all share the same behavior: when someone stands in front of one their image is instantly reflected on its surface. Sounds pretty normal, right? What if I told you that some of the mirror surfaces are actually wood? Now that’s a little more unusual.Daniel Rozin created four mechanical mirrors of various materials that are actually... more

With all of this talk about Atheism and Christianity, I thought it only fair to describe what I and some others believe in. For me, a once Evangelical Lutheran who attended church, sang in a choir as a soloist, and even at twelve years old thought of going to Seminary to become a minister because I was so blown away by the teachings and knowledge of Jesus Christ, it took quite a revelation for me to then understand "organized religion" and the subjugation of the mind and spirit it brings as I grew older. Through the years since I was a young girl, I have seen how religion can constrict the mind to the will of many for their own ends and actually put up barriers between the believer and their relationship with Christ. So, eventually I found a far more enlightening way to seek a closer relationship to the Christ without all of the middlemen driving fear and dogma into my heart and mind. I turned to Gnosticism, which I believe allows a greater freedom of heart, mind, and spirit.
To some however, the ancient beliefs of Gnostics will sound like something out a science fiction novel, but when you put it into perspective of how society works, it does on some level make sense. Gnostics believe that this material world we live in is an evil diversion set upon us by the Demiurge, or false god. In this material world we live in there are Aeons, or 'angels' (Jesus /Christ and Sophia being the first) who were non material spirits sent to lead us to gnosis, or knowledge of the divine light within all of us. In other words, to enlighten us to the fact that we are not shaped by the material world, but transcend it. Archons are seen as the 'demons' who are the gatekeepers of the material world we live in that provide the distractions to us attaining the knowledge to ascend back to the Pleroma, or universal God and who do all in their power to make this world a place that is opposite of what it should be. As I stated, equate that to the actual way our society works, and it does make some sense, though I myself do not use those terms in my daily life. However, analogies can be made.
In some extreme sects of Gnostics it was even believed that the human body in and of itself was an evil distraction and trap to the light within us devised to enslave the soul and true light. That for me is still debatable as I believe humans are divine as was Christ. It is believed that the only way to reach ‘gnosis’ or knowing is through inner reflection and through looking beyond the material distractions of the Demiurge. Gnostics in some sects were also known to be ascetic, though there is mention of the "Bridal Chamber" in the joining of man and woman, though not much if anything is known specifically of the ritual. It is believed by some as well that spiritual transcendence and seeing the light are reached through the joining of man and woman spiritually through the physical. Personally, I am more in favor of that latter ritual myself ;-).
