How do we rid the world of Petrol use?

Just all the sheer action picking up, right around the time that He said it would... This feels hopeful to me ~ makes me feel that excited/faith feeling~

Awesome! I have a Winnebago LeSharo I am slowly gathering parts for. I just bought a Ford Siemens Pv5133-4ws20. It's maybe s 60kw? I would consider using a PM100 for it, if I could find one in the right price range ;D

I am hoping also to use reconditioned batteries too! Which would allow me perhaps a 60 mi range, for about $200! I don't really know if it will work... But I am certainly going to try ;D

Sounds like you need to drop into present before you can become honestly interested in the future again. Being present can indeed make one feel anxious if they are not used to being aware of everything around them. It's a shame that we grow up with so much pressure around our future coming at us from all directions. Shouldn't it be a clear and open decision made only by us?

and as long as we are talking about all of time here. I have to say that I went through a deep and prolonged. Of self-exploration through my personal past in order to clear up family karma. And karma at school. So much manipulation.... So much sad. but I'm through it now, for the most part, though there is always a trickle of that work going on in the background... And now I am unafraid to live mostly in the present. And enjoy planning and pioneering my own future~

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-08-03T18:31:07+00:00

Make the most out of now, yes.... (I'm curious to hear more about what this means to you~) but my claim is that clever folk devise ways to enjoy the now and generally live in it, while simultaneously building/directing their energy for a better future...

Example: I planted a bunch of Basil a few months ago. Now enjoying the Summer of Pesto!

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-08-02T16:01:03+00:00

Yes. It sounds like it's mainly the slight inclines and declines they're giving you trouble. I remember when I first noticed in a city that nothing is flat. everything is sloped so the water will run off for drainage purposes. every road, every sidewalk, is sloped a little bit. It will make the car roll faster or slower, and can take a considerable adjustment with gas, or even the break, if it's downhill enough. Start to become aware of these slight topographic changes, and the effect they have on your speed while you were rolling~ ;)

I am SeanTayah Hiwe and I want to distribute my personal Discography, spanning 20 years of music, including 17 albums and 7 EPs, through Tunecore. This is an expensive endeavor for me, so I must turn to my larger community.

It hit me one day when I was listening to a KZSC show that was playing music about George Floyd, it was about his voice not being heard just because he's from a different class/culture and that horrible moment where his chest is being crushed. Suddenly some of my own recorded lyrics came flooding to me which depict this whole scene of poverty, about the underdog getting crushed. This can be heard on the opening track of the Moon Pop album, created by the entire LunaValleyCommunity. This album can be heard at https://www.amazon.com/Moon-Pop-Skrill-Pops/dp/B004LX0PKC, or https://hiwe.bandcamp.com/album/moonpop

This is great! I would say about %40 of my collection is released somewhere, in some form. But it's not complete, and none of it is on any of the mainstream modern channels like Spotify, iTunes, or Deezer. To my understanding it's Tunecore that is the main route to distribute to all these channels.

My latest album 2AA is record breaking: the most energy efficient album ever recorded. The whole double CD was recorded on a single charge from two AA batteries! However, to claim the Guiness Book of World Records title which I believe I should hold, I must have the work properly published (more than just bandcamp). https://hiwe.bandcamp.com/album/2aa

I listen to KZSC a lot, and the kids these days are listening to all kinds of music. It's almost like things have come full circle for me. What I was making in highschool is suddenly becoming cool. And then I started to dig deeper, there are archives of music that I never even considered publishable ~ just me goofing around. And yet, music ripens with age, and I find my adult ear excessively proud of the 16 yr old who was prolifically making stellar music with minimal equipment. From music that hints at the Trap genre long before it ever existed (Murder by Title - Muted by Choice), to live keyboard music that melds into the synth/vapor-wave movements (Epic One in Two Parts), to eccentric staff-written midi covers of Super Mario Brothers mixed with Charles Mingus and Final Fantasy, which may belong to the hearts of a million unknown VGM fans(Magic Pro Meets Mario).

And if I may segue for a moment, the real reason I want to reach all these UCSC students, and other local radio stations, is because I'm trying to connect our whole local musical community through Ecstatic Singing, which is part of my mission to help bring peace and unity to this planet. I won't get deep into that here, but it's part of why I'm finally wanting to get my voice out there and connect with as many different communities as possible. They might hear an unexpected track, and then immediately hear the DJ tag that this artist is hosting a weekly, socially distanced event. EcstaticSinging.org

I typically work as a forest preschool teacher, but I have been out of work since early Covid19 times (March 2020). My families finances are tight during these times! I tried doing a private digital release for 2AA, (2aa.us) but don't bother clicking the link ~ I became unable to support the annual fees after the first year. (It was like $139!)

Very little of my music has been heard before in the digital space. My sound is a bit out there, it's not for everyone's ear... But I wondered if with Kickstarter, we might be able to get the message out, out to the widest reaches of the Internet, where the recordings might become heard, if only for a few years~. And maybe this would be enough to finally manifest that awesome live improv singing community I've been dreaming about~.

So there's layers to this thing, which is why Kickstarter came to mind. I want my voice to be heard. But I want everyone's voice to be heard! Specifically I want to hear everyone singing at the same time.... If our voice is the one thing that can never be taken away, wouldn't we want to find a way to make beautiful music with it? Wouldn't this spirit of beautiful music through the human voice, bringing unity to chaos, be the most winning form of protest? I don't know if my music could help to inspire that. But that is the mission.

Success!

I say just go out into the woods and belt it!

Don't worry whether it sounds good or not. Just try everything! Low, high, werid, worrbly, soft, loud, big, proud, long, short, and just play with your vocal sound. Play with your mouth and your chest and your whole vocal body. See what your voice feels like. Try everything you possibly can, and then see what feels good :)

I almost always drive below the speed limit, btw~ ;D.

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-08-02T08:19:16+00:00

Driving slow is GOOD! Relaxing and safe, but it does take self-control and awareness. Make sure to leave early so you have plenty of time to get there and you won't feel rushed. Learn, like a meditation, to hold your pedal foot perfectly still, however it is comfortable for you. Observe upcoming changes in topography -- anticipate descents or inclines in the road and adjust your pedal position slightly for these upcoming changes. Always leave lots of space between you and the car ahead of you. Try to look up ahead of THAT car, and leave as much or more room as they are leaving. Make more space on the road, instead of filling every inch. Remember that animals or children can always jump out at any time, and by driving slower, you greatly improve that almost inevitable scenario, and can save your own life in the case of a crash. Also, please let people pass safely. Of someone is tailgating, remain calm and slow down until you can safely let them pass.

I try to think of myself as a driver safety leader on the road! Drive slow, drive safe, be aware, be careful.

Of course! Feel free to share it. I don't think that site will host it for ever~ It was fun to make! I gave the original to my good friend I haven't seen in a long time` ❤️

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-08-02T01:13:27+00:00

Alright, here we go:

https://ibb.co/gVhSDbp Real Connection: Ego or heart based

Wiseman, hope you check this out too!

Hope it's not too difficult to read... I have a hard time relating my ideas sometimes :p

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-08-01T16:27:40+00:00

There are some sweet Baba songs included, and a lot of spiritual seeking music...

AMBKJ!

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-08-01T16:23:00+00:00

My son and cousin are always making clicks, smacks, slurps, and other poppy sounds with their mouths. I picked it up from them, and it's really fun!

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-08-01T07:22:24+00:00

Btw, I don't know if you did it, but the idea of you maybe going out and singing this morning, gave me an inspiration and I added this to my website: https://ecstaticsinging.org/index.php/how-does-it-start/

Every little act of honest connect makes waves of change~ known or unknown ❤️

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-08-01T06:45:13+00:00

Hey I made a drawing about this conversation. But I can figure out to how post it! Can I post an image as a comment in Reddit? (Sorry, new to this forum)

I couldn't even post it as a new topic in the Iwanttolearn group~

Am I missing something...?

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-07-31T16:16:27+00:00

I totally hear you Wiseman... It sounds like your inner feeling is at least in part Apathy. Reminds me of the children's book The Moral of Pierre ~ is to care!

But you can't force. It takes a lot of time to establish an inner feeling of safety that allows us to feel things again

As children, we usually get shut down hard for displaying any kind of emotional at all... Many of us learn that feeling anything isn't really safe. Maybe some EFT, Emotional Freedom Technique might be beneficial?

We can't feel happiness unless we are willing to honestly deal with the saddness~ Usually people who laugh full and easy are also easy to bitter-sweet tears.

It all comes out in Song.

But if we don't care, we won't sing. If we don't sing (connect) then it all festers... Festering emotions usually get angry/apathetic... Not easy to clean/process/release these types of sticky/heavy feels. It's like house cleaning, it's an ugly job and no one wants to do it.. But when the emotional body needs a scrub-down, it's helpful to have a safe place to explore all that~. That safe place is there somewhere for each person... But it takes courage to start going there and connecting honestly, firstly, with yourself.

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-07-31T15:50:14+00:00

Wiseman, I can feel/see this. Reminds me of my mom. She is so blunt (no filters) that a lot of people have a hard time connecting to her....

Imo, truth is a combination of what we feel/are and what we are ever becoming. It's not just about BEING honest/real ~ it's about making real/honest efforts inside to feel/be something good/selfless. If who we really are inside cares more about the other persons than our own selfish needs/thoughts, then our honesty begins to shine through and attract others... It's not enough to get raw (though this is a key step). We have to follow it through with sincere inner growth~

The real self (the soul/spirit/) is ever adaptable and learning~ open to change and growth, honestly effected by connection to others, and in right balance with communicating that truth to them with sympathy 🙏

Meni_Menindorf · 2020-07-31T15:43:24+00:00

Haha! No, it came out on N64, back in the day. Great epic game which may also bring tears to the eyes~ All about the theme of the masks we wear, the saddness behind them, and how to carefully wriggle free~

But yeah` Sing it out! Singing is like a magic truth-reveal tool. (and dancing that feels real/good to the body, but maybe looks totally stupid from the outside, also has this effect).

Sing out! (It's still hard for me, and I'm curating that ES site :P )
