Messages for today ...

Early start in ten bed hostel room means silent exit and an hour before dawn for FB and You Tube ... Dennis Skinner on why he always opposed joining the EU, Yanis Varoufakis on why he favours reforming it from the inside ... whilst a mainstream theme from the department of mass manipulation seems to be promoting a rerun of the referendum or a General Election with the in or out question the main item on the agenda ... just another drama inviting our attention and opinions and distracting us from other possibilities ... like the Nature of Reality ... capitalist bogeyman Warren Buffet posts insightful information that as long as we allow words to evoke our emotions we are at the mercy of other people's agendas ... Jordan Peterson, identifying as on the political right, offers brilliant analysis of what's going on through psychology, mythology and other ologies, an insightful tale of limit breakers risking all to push past current levels ... his style compellingly emotional, since the pretence may engage our attention more than cool logic ... meanwhile, over at Findhorn live, information at another level from compelling cosmologist Jude Currivan amongst others ... the webcast freely streamed, though Findhorn folks still struggling with money question, maybe influenced by North American notions of abundance, missing the essential element of simplicity ....friends find the events expensive, the webstream initially offered for a fee, presumably with low response ... an experiment with Charles Eisenstein's Beautiful New World event offered within Gift Economy frame, though not repeated ... perhaps it's a question of trust in the process ... feelings here in line with Land of Joy model, common in Buddhist retreats, though far from ubiquitous ... Plum Village, for example, with a clear pricing structure ...

Amazigh crew of volunteers as always enthusiastic and owner yet to be seen ... many hostels employing the work for bed and board model enabled by Helpx and other platforms ...undermining paid employment for local youngsters, creating opportunities for itinerant youth from around the world ... including a Russian couple this time round. ...new economic forms inevitable in swiftly changing world, opinions rather redundant, better maybe to move with the creative edge and help shape the version of Reality we seek ...

Morning walk rehearses tomorrow's extra early departure, planned for pre-dawn to enable double stage to Zambujeira do Mar ... and loops round to Armoeira beach for 10 am coffee and blogging at otherwise deserted bar ... weather, and more importantly, weather forecast, deterring Sunday swimmers and surfers ... there is some cloud about and Sun too ... van load of surfers finally arrive and return route follows cliff and pine woods for brisk walk to Amazigh and lunch ... Mona has left in her hire car, accepting that it has become her cage on this holiday, swiftly moving from town to town, beach to beach, hostel to hostel, safe and secure in her isolation ... which is not to be confused with solitude ...

Nitram, previously known as Christian, from Bulgaria via Suffolk and London stops by en route for Shambala, a project nearby ... philosophy ensues for an hour or two ... more of which another time ... plenty to process!
