As this lazy summer heads toward Autumn, the tranquil mind finds space for frankly boggling new tools ... today's being Ethereum, dreamt up by young Canadian Vitalik Buterin .... if you want the tutorials try You Tube ... it resonates intuitively, whilst the ancient processors plod away to understand any of it ... Noomap may nestle into it, crypto-currencies too ... handy as the old world financial system creaks and crumbles ....
Speaking of crumbling, the Casa ... living metaphor for the old and decadent world, set in the deluded dystopia of the Costa, has had two spectacular crashes in a week ... first a palm tree in the drive gave up and fell with a thump ... this in the daytime and soon identified ... second, at half-past midnight and well into the deep sleep time, an almighty bang ... a quick torch-lit check established no sledgehammer assisted forced entry, and finally the source was traced to a fall of masonry onto the covered way ... and pleased to report equanimity was restored and sleep resumed quite soon ...
As a further warning about charismatic leaders, a post appeared this morning about a "Truther" and ex-marine, called Ken O'Keefe, outed as a swindler ... contemporary Elmer Gantry maybe ... and followed by a sub-set of self-styled "awake" folks ... many betrayed not just by Ken, but also their own gullible minds and fondness for strong leadership ... the ones who set alarm bells ringing here go in for righteous anger and ranting, along with particularly ugly phrases derived from the USA, which will not be written here, since they not only insult the Sacred Mother archetype, but also the personal link between the man (it usually is) and his own mother in the most degrading terms ... beware the charismatic leaders ... and paradoxically the leader role wants playing sometimes ... as long as the leader remembers it is just a role and the followers remember the script includes their responsibility to work on dependency tendencies ... and as a group to watch out for the human frailities. .. sex, money, power, which the lurking ego feeds upon ...
In all this, A Place to Be is reforming, using the new tools and new allies too ... so many people, of all ages and nationalities yearning for new ways to live in harmony ... peacefully with all sentient beings ... in co-creation with Nature ...
And Diogo calling down after his very hot summer job in Badajoz finishes next weekend ... in human endeavour, two minds are much much more than the sum of their parts ...
