It’s a Perfect Full-Moon-Weekend for Surfers of Consciousness.

Surf’s up everybody, and this portal adventure we’ve been taking is building to a climax. I’ve got a new video on our powerful planetary alignment and it’s called: “Full Moon Super Portal is Peaking!” I really hope you will check it out and maximize what is possible over this long pleasure weekend for surfers and dreamers.

It all got going about 6 weeks ago, two New Moons ago, when we entered the “Dance Party Portal,” and we started to get groovy with the cosmos. The rare, once in 7 years, Sun-Venus-Mars triple conjunction really got bumpin’ at the Full Moon a month ago, and then we were shakin’ it towards a major Stargate that opened a couple of weeks ago at the New Moon.

Not since the year 2000 have we entered a Super Portal like this, with all the inner planets, the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars and the Earth all in a perfect conjunction alignment, and all dancing in a Cosmic Conga Line through the heavens. My video on this very rare Super Portal is approaching 1400 views, and I hope you will check it out if you haven’t already seen it. https://youtu.be/8WbHmf-JB_4

Can you feel it? Do you see your major new timelines opening? Are you sailing towards unexpected star systems with visions of awesome new possibilities? I really hope so. You just need to relax your left brain and get things flowing with your right brain, and then just open to receive the Medicine Visions of Now. We’ve passed through the Stargate, there’s no turning back, and we’re sailing deeper into the portal.

Last week I published another video focusing on how this Super Portal is especially unique with Jupiter and Neptune forming what’s called a “T-Square” pattern with the inner planets. T-Squares are one of the most powerful astrological configurations, and with their high-energy frequency they tend to trigger major time waves.

T-squares are like the tension of a bow with the arrow ready to be released towards the target. Ours is a T-Square of Big Visions and Dreams, and a moment to take aim on your envisioned timeline. Can you see it? Can you see that Big-Vision-Timeline? Can you feel the possibility of a larger vision for your life?

So here we are at the Full Moon activation of our Super Portal, and its a Full Moon activation of an exact Mars-Jupiter-Neptune T-Square. Wow, that’s potent. This does not happen everyday people! So drop what you’re doing, call into work for a couple mental health days, and get your surf boards ready.

It’s a long-weekend for surfers, and in my new video I’ve got some pointers for successfully catching time waves and maximizing what could be a life-changing weekend of dreams. You’re going to learn about the “Five P’s.” These are 5 important principles for being pulled towards awesome timewaves. You need to understand these principles if you are going to have the maximum amount of fun this weekend. So I hope you watch it and share it with any other surfers of consciousness that you may know. Tell everyone that surf’s up and to surf safe.

Some of you will get out your longboards to cruise those pleasure waves, and others of you will get out those jet skis for some amazing tow-in action. For the rest of us there are warm sand beaches with safe views of big blue rollers across the horizon. Have your cameras ready people, there should be some really beautiful waves worth filming for posterity. Please don’t stretch beyond your skill level, and let’s aim for pleasure waves everybody.

This could be a great time to visit your friendly neighborhood intuitive guide, and I’d love to work with you. I’ve only got a few slots left for my promotional discount and I’m swapping out my calendar tomorrow night at midnight California time. That’s right, it’s your last chance to take advantage of my discounted fees, and I don’t know if I will be able to offer a discount like this again. Please contact me if you don’t see any times that work for you, and I’m sure we will figure something out.

Here’s a link to my calendar where you will be able to see what is available. https://calendly.com/matthew-333

Sending blessings and love to you all and wishing you a beautiful long dreamy weekend, Matthew

“He is life’s liberating force.
He is release of limbs and communion through dance.
He is laughter, and music in flutes.
He is repose from all cares — he is sleep!
When his blood bursts from the grape
and flows across tables laid in his honor
to fuse with our blood,
he gently, gradually, wraps us in shadows
of ivy-cool sleep.”

Your Horoscopes — Week Of September 10, 2019 (theonion.com)

Virgo | Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

An old adage will be proven wrong this Thursday when bad things come to you in two-hundred-and-forty-threes.

Libra | Sept. 23 to Oct. 22

Your perfectionist streak will consume you this week when you attempt to posit the world’s single-most-precise chaos theory.

Scorpio | Oct. 23 to Nov. 21

Who’s to say what’s right and what’s wrong, except maybe for all those police officers, the presiding district court judge, and a horrified jury of your peers.

Sagittarius | Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

After decades of soul-searching and inward reflection, you’ll finally realize this week that the question of God was always intended to be rhetorical.

Capricorn | Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

Despite seemingly insurmountable odds, you will once again manage to talk your way out of sounding interesting this week.

Aquarius | Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

The alignment of the stars and the planets this week can only mean one thing: You’re looking at a very simplistic, two-dimensional model of our solar system.

Pisces | Feb. 19 to March 20

You’ve never really imagined yourself as the committed type, but a state-appointed psychiatrist will soon prove you wrong.

Aries | March 21 to April 19

Your bold, take-no-prisoners attitude has made you who you are today: One of the least successful criminal prosecutors in the country.

Taurus | April 20 to May 20

Despite your attempts to make it look like an accident, investigators will immediately suspect you of burning down your wife for the insurance money.

Gemini | May 21 to June 20

An agonizing and seemingly endless disemboweling will soon show you exactly what you’re made of.

Cancer | June 21 to July 22

Your inquisitive nature will soon see you demanding answers to a series of questions ranging from, “Huh?” to, “Who the—?” and, “Whazzat?”

Leo | July 23 to Aug. 22

You will soon meet the greatest love of your life, which, unfortunately, has less to do with the quality of the former than the brevity of the latter.

Democracy Earth ? | Community Update

Dear Earth Citizen ?

We are honored to announce that Democracy Earth received a USD $228k grant from the Templeton World Charity Foundation in order to continue developing our efforts on Machine Learning resistant Turing Tests that can be used as proofs of identity.

While our societies are living online with communications intermediated by unaccountable algorithms, we are instead designing identity by and for humans, not machines.

As Edward Snowden reminded us last month on Web3 Summit “the vulnerability being exploited is identity”. Because internet giants offer us credentials, we are subjected to their algorithms. In order to counter that, our identity protocol substitutes computation processing with human processing… a.k.a. attention. So we’ll always know who’s in charge: ourselves.

The $HOUR token

In February, we launched and distributed the $HOUR token on the Ethereum mainnet. We are currently planning in the direction of listing our token through the process of an Initial Exchange Offering with reputable exchanges.

Hacking the DAO

Our co-Founder Santi Siri had 389 votes in favor – and zero against – his proposal to join MolochDAO ?! Why this matters? He got in by using selloutdao.com – a bribing contract to join Moloch, written by Mariano Conti during the ETHBerlin hackathon. It purposefully challenged how blockchain governance works.

Moloch is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization focused on funding Ethereum development with over a million dollars in its Guild Bank. It gained traction among key stakeholders – namely the likes of Vitalik Buterin & Joe Lubin – and provides unprecedented agility to funding with a fast voting cycle. The reason why it works so well is a simple, yet powerful, innovation: after a proposal is voted in, there’s a grace period in which members can *rage quit*, and take whatever Ether they have left in the Guild Bank.

This is so far one of the most successful DAO experiments, and has now multiplied into several different organizations including YangDAO – a project to keep an eye on as perhaps one of the first political groups openly using blockchain to support their candidate. As experiments like this become more relevant, testing the boundaries of these technologies and exploiting its attack vectors is the very edge of crypto politics. Or as we like to think about it (in Richard Stallman words): it was some”happy hacking” ?.

Democracy Earth Around the World ????????????????

  • In April, we implemented the first ever Quadratic Voting election in the United States ??, for the state of Colorado. This work was a partnership with Glen Weyl and the Radical Exchange movement, who also more recently brought us along Vitalik Buterin to present new technologies & ideas to Canadian parliamentarians.
  • September will be a full month: Santi will be speaking in Paris ?? Sep. 12 at Decidim Day, Buenos Aires ?? Sep. 17 & 18 for Y Combinator , and Oslo ?? Sep. 27 for Oslo Innovation Week. 
  • In October our team will be at Devcon5 in Osaka ?? where Santi will also be speaking! Let us know if you’ll be around.
  • ? Santi Siri talks geopolitics and sovereignty in this great podcast with Patrick Stanley from Blockstack.

Last but not least, we are now in Madrid ?! Say hi if you’re around!

Thank you for reading, be well and keep in touch!

Maintaining A Good Self-Relationship

By Calvin Harris H. W. M

Making an ally and friend of yourself unlocks a state of well-being.

If you have an ally, that is someone on your side. Ally comes from the Latin word alligare, meaning “to bind to,” — an act of coming together, a protection of one.

Yet, as a Life Coach, I find there are those who rather than being an ally to themselves,  are instead their own worst enemy. Most of the time they are unconscious of doing it to themselves until they have come undone. Often it is unconscious, the shadow side of themselves and acting without knowledge of what one really wants to accomplish. I am reminded of the quote: “The most reliable friend you have is your shadow.” – Matshona Dhliwayo

It comes later, as a revelation to them, to discover that self-awareness must be a key component for well-being and therefore success. To have success is to have communication with yourself. In other words, you are always in a relationship with yourself, the question is what kind is it?  Not to sound weird, but this relationship with yourself should be arguably one of the most important relationships that you have.

This Self-relationship is a foundation for everything else. Having said that, this self-relationship is not to be confused with negative compulsions of narcissism, nor on the other hand with overwhelming blame and shame about ourselves, rather it should identify traits that focus our being in a good place, to organize our self so that things happen in effective ways that allow for good interpersonal skills, and as a byproduct, produces success according to the individual’s own definition of success.

In other words, for you to focus on yourself in such a way to produce crucial development for a healthy sense of self. It is about gaining knowledge and having an understanding of how you operate and liking what you see in that process.

This establishes a baseline for you from which to work that can extend beyond yourself to others in ways that are altruistic and advantageous to all.

 This is going to take being a good friend to yourself first, by  developing and sustaining your relationship with the self.

One way to start, is by checking out how you speak to yourself. Remember everything you say you hear as well. No matter if talking to a room full of people or by yourself. This would include not only the words you say out loud but also the words you think. Words have an emotional imprint. Check yourself to see if you tend to speak harshly to yourself (either in your spoken voice or in your thinking voice).

If you catch yourself negatively impacting yourself with your self-talk, find a way to stop and observe. Try and see the emotional atmosphere you find yourself in — is there anger or agitation, is your heart rate up, are the words criticizing? Take a breath, slow it down and consciously reappraise the situation, in an effort to be gentler with yourself before continuing with any more outward action.

Some life coaching clients find it helpful to practice conversations out loud with themselves— under the right conditions, doing so can be very useful. By consciously  using  the thoughts you’ve assembled  you have the capacity to unearth feelings buried within the words  to make possible clear differences in your discourse of what is advantageous and that which does not promote or contribute to personal or social well-being.

That said, know that it takes time to develop a new habit. It will require your desire and your motivation to build this skill.

Journaling is another good practice to capture, record reactions, and keep track of your progress with self-talk. It is a place to start getting to know more about you. Journaling as a habit becomes an invaluable way to acquaint oneself with and to change personal experiences for the better.

Journaling seems easier to accomplish if you will begin by setting small manageable goals, such as writing for just 15 minutes a day. Once in the routine, beginners will gain a new slant or perspective on their behaviors, while for seasoned chroniclers these insights provide motivation to continue.

You are in essence creating a new habit, one that by sticking to it keeps you conscious of and befriending yourself.

In the beginning, as I mention, it may require some effort. Fortunately, if you keep at it and can eventually practice it daily, the process will become easier for you and eventually become an automatic part of your daily routine

More on Journaling in upcoming articles. For my readers asking for deeper work, may I suggest a small group or one on one session that can be arranged with me? In addition, The Prosperos School of Ontology offers two seminars that are extremely useful: Translation and Releasing the Hidden Splendor. The classes offer tools for reaching change, a change in consciousness, not a change in “things.” You can contact me at my email address for more information about these classes, small group activities, or one on one mentoring services by going to the Contact Page.

Let me conclude with these words:

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” – Mahatma Gandhi

What does self-actualization mean in different cultures?

Critics complain that Maslow’s hierarchy of needs focuses too much on the West. Yet other cultures often have similar ideas about personal development.

  • When Abraham Maslow developed his hierarchy of needs, he focused entirely on students, peers, and historical figures, all of whom were from the West.
  • This led many critics to argue that his model of human development and the concept of self-actualization were not universal; they merely reflected Western ideas about development and self-improvement.
  • Other cultures ranging from Blackfoot Native Americans to the Chinese have similar ideas that run parallel to self-actualization. What are they, and how do they differ?

Self-actualization has been a pop psychology touchstone ever since Abraham Maslow coined the term in 1943. Since then, a panoply of articles, books, podcasts, motivational posters, and even business models have popped up explaining the best way forward for countless individuals looking to grow and become the best version of themselves they can possibly be.

The concept of self-actualization and the hierarchy of needs, however, has taken on a life of its own outside the ivory tower of academia. While the concept that an individual’s highest drive is to become all that they can possibly be has become accepted as fact, academics still debate whether the hierarchy of needs is the best model of human development. One criticism, in particular, is that self-actualization is a thoroughly Western concept. Maslow developed it by studying the characteristics of his peers and of famous historical figures, such as Abraham Lincoln and Albert Einstein.

Why does this matter? The model is meant to be a model of human development, but the research it was developed from was mostly based on one sliver of human experience. Other cultures and philosophies have similar, but slightly varied ways of describing higher states of being. What’s the difference between self-actualization and these other ideals?

Taoism and Buddhism

Japanese Zen Buddhist

One of the biggest commonalities between these Eastern philosophies and self-actualization is that they all assume there is a drive toward a higher state of being, whether that’s Enlightenment, oneness with the Tao, or self-actualization. In Taoism, the goal is to achieve unity with the unknowable underlying principle of the universe (i.e., the tao, or “the way”), while in Zen Buddhism, the goal is to achieve Enlightenment by understanding the emptiness of existence.

Already, we can see some significant differences between self-actualization and these philosophies. There’s no religious or even spiritual component in the hierarchy of needs. It doesn’t purport to explain life and death or the nature of the universe, just the nature of human motivation. But if you strip away some of the more spiritual elements of these systems, the end goals are pretty similar.

The sage in Taoism, the enlightened individual in Zen Buddhism, and the self-actualized individual in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs all are concerned for the well-being of others, are closer to nature, accept reality as it is, and are extremely autonomous. This last bit, the autonomy and independence, is probably why many Westerners are so familiar with Taoism, Zen Buddhism, and the like. Westerners like the idea of independent practice, of self-work — of self-actualization.

But there are many other ideas about what makes for a higher state of being that explicitly reject the idea that you can become better in a vacuum.

Confucianism

Confucius

Like the hierarchy of needs, there is also an ideal, higher state to be pursued in Confucianism; specifically, sagehood. The Confucian sage is a benevolent, wise individual that embodies tian, which can be thought of as heaven or the underlying laws of the universe. Confucius thought that very few people reached this state of being, as Maslow did in regard to self-actualization. A major difference, however, is that Confucius focused significantly more on the relationship between the sage or developing individual and the society around them. For Maslow’s self-actualized individual, their relationship with society is pretty much up to them. A self-actualized individual might care very much about the world around them, or they could be a hermit; it would depend on their individual nature.

In Confucianism, addressing societal issues is how one enables others to become sages. As a result, Confucianism prescribes a strict social code for individuals to follow in order to enable the right kind of society, summed up in Confucius’s quote: “There is government, when the prince is prince, and the minister is minister; when the father is father, and the son is son.” What’s more, by being a father, minister, or whichever role you’re meant to be, Confucianism asserts that you can become more virtuous and develop further. Perhaps more than the other philosophies listed here, Confucianism is much more prescriptive, where the hierarchy of needs is much more descriptive.

Blackfoot Native Americans

One of the more interesting parallels to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs is the philosophy of the Blackfoot Native Americans. In fact, Maslow is believed to have used Blackfoot beliefs to develop his theory after a visit to the Blackfoot Nation in Alberta, Canada, in 1938.

The Blackfoot perspective on self-actualization was quite different than Maslow’s, however.

For the Blackfoot, self-actualization was actually at the base of the pyramid. As with other philosophies focused on human development and higher states of being, the Blackfoot model extends the concept outside of the self and focuses on the impact of self-development on the community. Above self-actualization comes community actualization, above which comes cultural perpetuity, or the idea that the knowledge and wisdom of a community can live on in perpetuity, so long as the individual and the community become actualized.

Aside from its emphasis on community rather than the individual, this model is interesting because it also focuses on time — if a community achieves cultural perpetuity, then it lasts forever. It also explicitly discusses something that Maslow would later add to his hierarchy: the idea of self-transcendence. Maslow later believed that all self-actualized individuals would feel the need to pursue goals outside of the self, a feature that was already present in the Blackfoot model.

None of this is to say that Maslow’s model of human development is wrong or right — rather, it’s important to acknowledge how much of Maslow’s thinking was a product of his culture. Psychology, in particular, is a science that’s easily influenced by culture — just as an example, consider the fact that nearly all psychological studies are conducted on undergraduate college students. It’s immediately apparent that ascertaining universal truths from a sample of undergraduate college students and Western historical figures is a dubious proposition.

When it comes to pursuing a better version of the self, it pays to keep in mind that there are many perspectives on what that better version might be.

Consciousness, spirituality, biography, sexuality, androgyny, futurism, space, the arts, science, astrology, democracy, humor, books, movies and more
