Reasons Why You Should Use The Turn Signal

August 19, 2015 by Jivan Wild Leave a Comment

Reasons Why You Should Use The Turn Signal

Turn signals. Do you know how to use the turn signal? Do you know it’s function. Turn signals, it is the lights on the outside of your car that blinks either on the left or the right side and tells others where the heck you are going. It does not turn on with your mind, but with the up and down motion of a lever located on the right side of the steering wheel.

Now why do I bring up the use of the turn signal? Well, I am currently in the island of Puerto Rico, where the majority of the people don’t use turn signals and yes I know this applies mostly everywhere in the world. It is just stop where ever you want all of a sudden and turn.

What annoys me the most is when you are behind that person and they just suddenly stop and now you have to hit your break and you don’t have a clue what their intentions are or waiting in an intersection for the incoming cars to pass, before making your way into the intersection, only to see the incoming car turn into the street, thus you sitting there waiting when you could have made your own turn. Which is very inconsiderate. But we live in a world that it is all about me, me, me and screw everyone else.

Consideration and respect for one another just continues to dwindle down and then we call ourselves “civilized”. I think not using it is also just plain laziness as well.

Like how difficult is it really to pull that lever up and down. Is your arm really that heavy to lift? Are your fingers numb to flick the lever? Do you know where that lever is and if you don’t know where that lever is, then you shouldn’t be driving that car.

One of the main problems is that the people are followers. They follow the example of others. As it is with the garbage. One person throws garbage at the beach or on the sides of the roads, another person comes along and figures, “hey, if they did that, i shall too”.

The same thing applies with turn signals. One person does not use it and the next person behind him figures why should they use it. Then we go on with these bad habits and the cycle just continues.

I always use the turn signal and often at times when I notice the person behind me not using it, I would switch lanes on front of him using my signal and back and forth I go.

Eventually that person who has never used their signal, would actually turn it on and use it. Their bad habit was broken temporarily, but then they would go back to what they have known.

It’s like throwing cigarette butts all around the place. If they are aware of the littering and want to change their bad habit of throwing them all over the place, chances are they will forget often and throw them around. Bad habits are hard to break, especially when you make no effort or care to make an effort in the first place.

I considered myself an Anarchist and contrary to what some might believe or whatever misconception a person holds on what an anarchist is, whereas people think it is disorder and chaos. I will give you my anarchistic view on how I view turn signals.

You see turn signals are important to use in my anarchistic view because turn signals, just like anarchism, it’s about organizing. It’s about consideration for others. Using my turn signal, I am telling others of my intentions, so that we can share and coexist in the same road safely.

There are so many car accidents here and I believe it’s in due part because of the lack of communication in which a turn signal provides.

In an anarchistic world, respect, organization and communication are key, along with cooperation with each other and consideration for one another. Not chaos. In a way the drivers that are not using their signals represents how the government is. Disorder.

Another thing most people misconstrue Anarchism as being a society with no rules. No laws, which is true to a certain extent. We follow natural laws and live by morals and ethics. The basics being not to do harm to anyone and treat people like you want to be treated.

I don’t use a turn signal because it’s “the law”, Again I use it to convey my intentions to others, so that the person behind me could either slow down or in turn use his signal so that he could turn on to the next lane and go about his day.

Communication is a beautiful thing and it is something that is sorely missing as we expect and depend on the government communicating everything for us and the reason being why we live in this red light, green light society with that caged domesticated mentality.

Going back to those bad habits.I believe we have to break away from bad habits and strive to better ourselves to better the world around us and so that we can coexist together in harmony and peace. Instead of following others bad example we need to lead with good examples.

Such as when I pick up litter from the shores of the beach, when others choose to ignore it. If someone sees that, maybe it would change their ignorance to the litter or at least that is what I am hoping for.

There is not a day that goes by when I don’t use my signal. I use it as a force of habit everywhere I go, even if there are no cars around me. It’s about staying with that tendency.

Make it a force of habit, change your perspective on how you view not only the turn signal but other aspects in the way we see the world and each other.

I was once told that they don’t use the turn signal because the drivers on the next lane do not allow them onto their lanes as the other driver would speed closer to you upon seeing your signal lights and I think that point of view needs to change because that is just an excuse.

We could either choose to to be the change or indulge in stupidity. We can either lead by example or we can continue to follow the line into obscurity.

Now you might think not using your turn signal as a big thing. But I view this world through anarchistic eyes. I see the possibilities of change within us. I see the possibilities of a new world.

But that change has to come from us from the very little things such as using a turn signal. It has to come from us to see that we can coexist peacefully and harmony if we start to bloom consideration, respect, organization and cooperation and with that blooms freedom.

I hope you enjoyed this analogy on the use of the turn signal and anarchism and enjoyed this post in general.

Why The Definition Of God Should Be What You Want It To Be

June 20, 2015 by Jivan Wild Leave a Comment

Why The Definition Of God Should Be What You Want It To Be

What is the definition of god or could the meaning of god really be defined. We live in this world that we have allowed ourselves to be manipulated by others into what to think. Religion was created to control you, to control your mind. As you now have groups among groups divided into believing in their god. In what someone’s thought of what a god is.

I was an “atheist”, but I feel that just divides us all into those groups I spoke of. That us against them mentality we still hold. I am more free thinking than I was before and I always say our perceptions should change into a new reality. Stubborn thoughts lead us no where, but to our own decrepit demise. It’s all about shifting your perceptions, to see those windows, to jump through that window and free fall to see the other side.

“I do not believe in God and I am not an atheist.”
― Albert Camus,

Before it was fuck your damn god because everyone shove’s religion down your throat, that mentality of you must believe in what I believe in or something is wrong with you. Like how we choose a political side and say the left is mightier than the right or vice versa as we stay bickering among ourselves into the divided groups and categories, that proverbial box that we have closed ourselves in.

“God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere.”
― Voltaire

Being an atheist was being closed into that box as well. It was the same bickering among each other. It was that same thing as what religious people would do but in the reverse. No you must believe that there is no god, and the going back and forth and we all know it’s not going anywhere because of those stubborn thoughts that we hold and don’t want to let go of because we fear change, we fear thinking differently, we conform to a routine and that is how we have made life. Life has become a routine, just like our mindset and we just keep regurgitating those thoughts.

“God has no religion.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

Now I think a bit more differently, thus this blog posting. Now what is the definition of god? I think “god” should be whatever you define it as. Not what we all think or know as god, but god should be something true to them. God is whatever you want it to be, god could be the universe, god could be the stars, god could be Gaia, nature and with that being said, god could be CANNABIS! God could be FREEDOM, or it could be that god is in YOU! Collectively inside all of us. The trees, the rivers and oceans and all the species around us making us collectively one. God could be your conscious, god could be your soul. But whatever god you hold, should be true to you.

There was a time where there were many gods and goddesses, before Christianity banished them all and spoon fed the world into what the world NEEDED to think, usually by force or face condemnation, just like most religions do to this very day, as if somehow we still live in the dark ages. You must believe it and generation after generation, it was all passed down. Spoon feeding after spoon-feeding.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
― Epicurus

So my question is if Christianity never told us what we needed to believe in. Never controlled and manipulated, Would that concept of a god creep into your head and would you have a definition of what it is and what it means to you on your own accord. Would you question reality and keep asking questions instead of being born with that thought planted inside you, only to flourish into the same regurgitated thinking.

By no means am I trying to offend no one religious. But I feel that we need to unplug any thoughts we have been instilled with and plug ourselves with the what if’s and the how and why’s. Taking a step back and seeing the bigger picture and letting it all soak in. Letting go is true freedom. Freedom to what binds us. Let’s stop the cycle and let the next generations to think for themselves and to develop their own opinions freely.

“Religion is still useful among the herd – that it helps their orderly conduct as nothing else could. The crude human animal is in-eradicably superstitious, and there is every biological reason why they should be.
Take away his Christian god and saints, and he will worship something else…”
― H.P. Lovecraft

There are a wave of people growing to that concept, our children should not be regurgitated clones made in our image, I wrote a blog about raising betters seeds not clones which can be read by clicking here., they should have their own individuality instead of how we want to mold their mind to be, to follow their own path instead of your own.

Respect is what we need to grow, respect and tolerance to the intolerable things we deem in this world, our world. Starts with respect and consideration. We need to respect and consider other people’s view of god but we must break from that dogma. Deep down question everything.

“I tried to believe that there is a God, who created each of us in His own image and likeness, loves us very much, and keeps a close eye on things. I really tried to believe that, but I gotta tell you, the longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize, something is fucked up.”
― George Carlin

I mean we could have been made, engineered by aliens, shit, aliens could be our gods. They could be among us right now. That might sound crazy, but anything could be a possibility. We must think it might be a possibility we don’t know.

“And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence”
― Bertrand Russell

We will never know and that’s the mystery of this beautiful sole life that we have , but I believe the bickering and this global divide we have with ourselves needs to end so we can enjoy this life in peace together. I know that sounds far-fetched but it’s a vision of wanting to see a better world where we have our own individuality as unique and special each that every one of us is.

Our beautiful souls trapped in a shell with a conscious that has been trapped and enslaves with shackles of ignorance. We need to accept each other as we are. Accept that the way we all think, should be different because every thought should be embraced, peaking through the windows in life. To evolve further than staying in the same ol’ rut.

“Independence is my happiness, and I view things as they are, without regard to place or person; my country is the world, and my religion is to do good.”
― Thomas Paine,

Let’s spread positivity instead and even that could be the definition of god, instead of spreading and smothering ourselves into conformity. In a way people might view me as an atheist or agnostic, but I have my god and I won’t share what my god is because it’s my god and my sole definition of what god is and that is something special we should hold to ourselves.

Maybe share it with a few other souls, but never to spread that my god is better than any other gods and never to spread a belief into others. But one true god that people now hold is the fact that money is now their god. Money is something people blindly worship a paper dollar. They hold on to a belief that without it they would perish, behold the mighty dollar. But by all means if you want money to be your god, then hold that god close and be true to yourself. Let it be special. But god is what you make it.

“Because here’s something else that’s weird but true: in the day-to day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship—be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles—is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It’s been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness.”
― David Foster Wallace,

In closing, if someone chooses not to believe in any god. Then that is their decision, just like it is your decision to believe in a god. We hold something that is beautiful, the freedom of choice, the freedom of decision and the freedom to think for yourself. No one should be stripped of those freedoms just because you believe in what you believe in because we are just limiting our own consciousness. If you need religion to live, if you need a god. That’s great, but don’t act as you are morally superior than anyone else because of it. As stated by Thomas Paine above, To do good is my religion and I will go into that in a further post.

By the way this was a stoned thought of the day brought to you by purple widow blended with super silver haze. 70 percent sativa with that mild indica kick. Hai Karate!

Do you think we all must believe in a god?

Do you think we all must believe in one god? If you do believe in a god, why must you feel that everyone must worship your god?

My Definition Of Life (Cosmic Earth Poem)

Every time I walk through the forest I feel that is where i belong.

I feel a soothing calmness. The sounds of nature is music to my ears,

the lush vegetation and the tall trees surrounding me as the cool breeze ruffles through the leaves

I am at peace. forever rooted and connected to nature interwoven into the fabric of my being,

as the sun peaks through the branches gently kissing my skin as i inhale the sweet aroma of the earth.

frolicking in the beauty and the enjoying the splendors that is life.

As my bare feet grounds upon the rich earth below, entrenching my roots further into the earth.

I am home, as I am mentally stimulated by all of the vibrancy around me, the colors are candy for my mind’s eye.

I become one with my surroundings.

One with the universe.

Molecules scattered through time as time stand stills, living in the moment.

My mind opened to the wonders around me.

Hypnotized by the beauty that enchants me.

Connected to the earths core, branching out to the universe,

my soul interconnected with the stars,

dancing on the moon that glows upon my skin at night.

This my brothers and sisters is my definition of life..

How We Are Just Like Rotten Fruits

March 1, 2015 by Jivan Wild 1 Comment

How We Are Just Like Rotten Fruits

A fruit has fallen off the tree and now lays on the ground. It sits and waits there for someone to come and enjoy it’s succulent nectar. Days go by and it just lays there, exposed to the elements. Everyday that goes by, it wilts further and further as the insects find it’s way inside.

It wrinkles up and rots till its no more until the the only thing that remains are its seeds. As the seeds lay on the soil awaiting rain so that it may sprout some new life and go on living as another tree.

We are rotten fruits. With everyday that goes by we wilt further and further. We lay waiting to enjoy the nectar of life, but we just continue to sit there, every year that passes more, another wrinkle. Our insides being devoured by doing things we hate to go on living. It gets devoured by the stress that our environment has created in what has become our superficial world. It gets devoured by negativity, by hate, envy and by our conditioned minds.

We rot from our core, from the inside out. Carrying all this negativity in our lives until the day we lay in our death beds rotting for, awaiting the last few days when we become just bones. As life went by in an instant. All the hate, envy, negativity were all for naught.

For some of us we would have planted our seeds. We would have dropped those seeds during our rotted life, but do we continue to enjoy those seeds that we planted or do we allow them to fall in the same trap that has made us a wilted rotted mess. Do we allow this cycle to breed and fester in our seeds or do we continue to let them rot as you did and perhaps maybe they can figure out how to enjoy the nectar that is life.

We become bones, life would be no more. There is no second chances, no coming back from what you have known as your life. All the hate inside us, all these learned traits that have made us regress as a being. Doing things we hate just to go on with this perceived existence. Just putting all our time into that and not enjoying the nectar of life or enjoy the nectar that has become of your seeds life, as they now spend more time away from you.

When every moment should be spent cherishing life with them during their childhood. Teaching them love, instead of hate. teaching them respect. Instead we allow the schools and the TV to teach them everything, which festers and breeds the negativity and the conditioned mind.

We would become those bones and what kind of impact would you have left in this world, other then the continual division of us all. The continual hatred for one another. The continual negativity would be what we would have left in this world. All the money we amassed really would not mean squat.

Money has become a plastic bag suffocating our lives. We stay confined in that bag rotting away. We go on with this thought that we would have the money to start enjoying our lives when we are older. But we don’t realize that we could rot in an instant.

There is no tomorrow, but today for tomorrow may never come. The next microsecond could be our very last. We go on with this thought that we will last forever. That money has blinded us from the world around us. All we are concerned about is making more of it, so that we can somehow better ourselves and better the lives of our seeds. So we can be happier from the misery that we have created.

We go on with a false happiness when deep down we are miserable of what life has become. All that money would not bring time back. Time missed out with your seeds, time missed out doing something you love, because you were too busy doing something you hate.

Many would say well this is life. What can you do. You need money to live and that is where we go wrong. We have accepted this cycle, this way of life. The government has become one of those insects eating our insides as they have limited our true potential to go beyond. We are the most responsible for limiting our minds true potential. To think of ways of bettering not only ourselves but this world, so that we may all bloom together.

It’s only when we unify, only when we allow love back into our hearts, only then can we progress together in this world. I don’t have the answers to everything, as i always say, the answers are locked up deep inside your heads. Each of us holds the key, but we gave those keys to the government and said here you tell us how we should go on living and have accepted this way of life.

So now we are rotted fruits, one bad apple spoiling another as we spoil this beautiful world that we should all call home. Life should not be a rotted journey through time. It should be a beautiful manifestation. We should not limit ourselves and the world around us, we should embrace it and expand our minds to be as infinite as the universe. Embrace our lives and each other. The changes start inside all of you. Starts by changing your perception. The day we finally rot away, we should leave a positive impact in this world.

Will you remain a rotted fruit or would strive to change it. The truth of the matter is, we will all rot in the end, but how we rot is up to you. Do you rot by the negativity that weighs us down or do we rot by the positive lives that we have lived.

We only have that one life in this fruit that is our body. Make it count. Live life, do things you love. As Alan Watts once said, “you do that and forget the money”. I know in this world we can’t get far without this money, but again we have to find ways to better our lives and that’s what we should be striving for. For a better world, for a better tomorrow. That’s the impact that i want to leave behind, as i fight for a better tomorrow. To leave a blueprint for the seeds that blossom to follow and so that they can evolve that blueprint further, instead of the same perpetual cycle.

Feel free to leave your comments down below on what you think of this blog.

Do you think we are rotted fruits?

Do you think we live in this negativity. Do you think this world can’t ever change. Do you think money is our life blood or the plastic bag. Thanks for reading. Peace and love!

Mystical Journey (Poetry)

February 27, 2015 by Jivan Wild Leave a Comment

We are in a mystical journey on a rock hurling through the galaxy, but our mystical journey has now become redundant, suffocated in time. The path turns in circles, leading back to the same spot. Like tracks in the sand, rocks colliding with rocks, forming explosions as to who we are. Deep down to the core, the journey goes ignored, doors closed in a trap going through a mirrored illusion, life has become an hysteria, mass confusion. Do we make life a never ending vortex to the abyss of going no where, do we travel through the black holes to travel to another dimension, occupying time and space. The universe is our maze, like the mind going in an infinite voyage to reveal our inner world. Another second gone, another planet we passed, symbiotically connected, No barriers or confinements, moving free through the universe as should be this life on earth. EARTH.

Disaster Shamanism

January 19, 2015 by Jivan Wild Leave a Comment

This following article was not written by me. but it encapsulates how I feel. How I view my world. Many are of us are awakening to a new world and this awakening is happening due in part to people such as myself and others who may be these “disasters shaman”, who have gained that connection to nature and are spreading seeds of change. We hear nature, yet ignore her. Enjoy the article. Leave comments down below or on the author’s site, link below. Peace.

“For what one needs in this universe is not certainty but the courage and nerve of the gambler; not fixed conviction but adaptability; not firm ground whereupon to stand but skill in swimming.” –Alan Watts

“Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and in surpassing itself; if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying, and human existence is indistinguishable from an absurd vegetation.” -Simone De Beauvoir

What is Disaster Shamanism?

Disaster Shamanism is a form of post-modern shamanism. The main task of a disaster shaman is to visit local and non-local environments that have experienced disasters (natural and/or cultural) and do what it takes to help philanthropically (not necessarily monetarily), using shamanistic, psychoanalytic, and eco-centric tactics, and to respond as a healer within a Eco-psychological and shamanic cosmology.

Disaster shaman are New-heroeswho realize that the only thing that trumps moderation is volition. It is for this reason that disaster shamans choose to “listen” to nature over culture. They listen to nature in order to figure out how to live moderately so that others may moderately live. They use a nature first culture second approach so as to avoid the smokescreen of aggrandized human opinion, and to get through to the healthy/unhealthy cosmic order that is the voice of Gaia (mother Earth). They use this knowledge to heal, holistically, any and all eco-psycho-cultural environments.

Disaster shamans are preeminent guides for escaping the Pyramid of Civilization and they are skilled in the art of re-wilding and diagnosing nature deprivation. They bring balance and tonality to an otherwise atonal world, using peaceful resistance and civil disobedience to accentuate where modern-man has become excessive. They harness the two-fold power of healthy, global change with the concepts of Eco-moral Commitalism andEco-moral Tribalism.

The many make one lifetime into less; the wise make one lifetime into many. Disaster shamans are intent upon making their one life into many. They do this by devoting themselves to a nomadic lifestyle; one that expands horizons and blurs the lines drawn between cultures. They live “horizonally” like James P. Carse‘s Infinite Player, understanding that boundaries can, and must, be turned into horizons.

The diatribe of the Disaster Shaman is: go forth and simplify. They do this with courage and gusto, realizing that wisdom begins first with nature, the best of guides; and second with pain, the worst of guides. Disaster shamans subsume cowardice by assuming a heroic posture toward life. They understand that fear is natural. They except fear for what it is, embrace it, and then transform it into courage.

Disaster shamans take it upon themselves to develop what Ivan Illich called “tools of conviviality” by courageously living their destiny as opposed to merely going through the motions of living the destiny handed down to them. They are human catalysts and proactive agents of change. A disaster shaman is a New-oracle come to tell the old-oracles that they have failed.

“People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason the world is in chaos is because things are being loved, and people are being used” -(Anonymous).

A disaster shaman realizes the chaos of the modern world. The Hopi have a term for it: Koyanasiquatsi, life out of balance. To this extent disaster shamans are forces of nature first and people second. They understand that we live at a bifurcation point in human history and they work toward regaining balance by teaching – through détournement and social gad-flying– relationship-based love in a materialistic world. They take it upon themselves to create new ways of communing, by polarizing communities and implementing creative alternatives to outdated, unhealthy modes of living.

Disaster shamans are the architects of advanced sustainability, the threshold guardians of a new eco-enriched society of eco-moral people. Disaster shamans do not wait around for the right moment. They adapt to the ebb and flow of life’s ups and downs and overcome vicissitude through imagination, practical will and radicalized action, realizing that the right moment is always now.

A disaster shaman teaches how to become a hero over power, as opposed to simply being a hero with power. Carrying the banner of a New-hero, disaster shamans have perfected the art of hero expiation; what I call Capital Munificence. This is applied commitalism with emphasis on the expiation and redistribution and reciprocity of wealth. Disaster shamans bring the secret to such power to disaster situations and “heal” through teaching the people how to get power over power, and especially how to transform false power into true power.

They have perfected the art of Ideal Foolishness, or Foolish Ideology. Indeed, it is the call to arms of the Disaster Shaman. Their way of hypocritical art bridges the gap between science and spirituality by showing a child-like trust and hope for the human condition, that leaves open the realm of mystery and enchantment, while also explaining the infinite fabric of reality through scientific-mythology.

In order to prevent megalomania from the creative individual becoming too full of his own meanings, disaster shamans turn the tables on creative self-annihilation by the expiation and mockery of their power and a healthy laughter at their illusions. They disclose the world with the purpose of freedom and further disclosure. And by that same action they try to free others from enclosure into disclosure. Disaster shamans find the exigence which is common to all men and women: the will to freedom, the will to power, and the will to conquer both so as to make compassionate action manifest. They are willing to die in order to bring water to the Wasteland.

The Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse (Providence) is a mask worn by a disaster shaman. It represents rebirth and renewal in the face of death and disease. Thus, as Akoyeh, post-modern heyoka and the world’s first disaster shaman, I have become the Fifth Horseman.

In that capacity I have dedicated myself to spreading the seeds of self-actualized love, open-mindedness, and progressive sustainability. I have devoted myself to planting gardens of heroism in the humus of war, hate, close-mindedness, greed, and anything left behind by the original four horsemen (anybody caught up in any kind of unsustainable, unhealthy, violent, stupid, immoral or mass-destructive social system). And so I will gather the original four horsemen under one banner and teach them that the NEW definition of “right & wrong” is derived from the natural dictation of “healthy & unhealthy” rather than the human opinion of “good & evil.”

I will show them that I have squeezed every last drop of slave’s blood from my mind, body and soul; knowing that, had I not done so, had I not challenged the entire notion of slavery, I would have just become a new prisoner, boss, master or CEO in a violent, exploitative, dog-eat-dog system. But if all the blood is painfully squeezed away, then a free person emerges.

I am Crazy Horse. I am Geronimo. I am Gandhi. I am Christ. And not even death can stop those who are free.
